What I've Become : Tim Drake X Reader

Familiar?

~ 1 Year Later ~

~ Your P.O.V ~

Sleeping was a big a problem for me lately. You see I have been having visions or some type of old memories, flashbacks, that have been bothering me and they keep me up all night, but I don't ever remember them happening.

I try not to talk to Ducra about it too much. I have a feeling she'll go all soft on me. I mean I don't want her to see me differently. I'm her student not someone she could have pity on.

To be honest I talk to Jason about the flashbacks. I mean he does have the most experience with them. We have this sort of brother-sister bound and we feel comfortable talking to each other about personal problems.

I even got Jason to open up to me about his past, but he never really went to much in detail. He told me he used to have a father, well more like a mentor. Jason said that they both fought crime until one day the mission took a wrong turn and Jason died.

He told me all the emotions he felt. 'Mostly anger' he said. He than told me how he tried to get revenge and how that ended up taking even more wrong turns... And now he's here.

I would do the same and open up... Only if I could remember what happened to me.

I was enjoying the sleep I was finally getting until I felt water splash on my face.

I quickly sprung up in my bed only to see Jason with a guilty face holding a glass with a little bit of water in it.

I glared at him, "You little shi--"

"LANGUAGE!" Jason shouted dropping the glass of water and sprinting towards the door.

I quickly flipped of my bed and ran after him down the hall.

Since he got a head start, Jason was already far ahead of me, but I had a advantage.

You see Ducra not only taught me how to fight in a hand-to-hand combat situation, but she taught me how to use the energy around me to manipulate a person's actions.

I pulled Jason to the ground using my 'Mystic Energy' and pinned him to the ground as well.

"Hey! No fair," Jason complained, sounding like a little kid as I stood beside him, "You used your powers."

"Life isn't fair." I smirked helping him up.

"Pfft, what ever."

~ Mini Time Skip ~

Jason and I began to spar in the courtyard without the assistants of Ducra.

I had agreed to not use my powers. 'Man that boy can be a drama queen.'

Our sparing match began pretty normal, a few punches and kicks followed by acrobatic skills.

That was until Jason had kicked me where I had this odd scar at, causing me to fall to the ground and clench where the scar was at.

But I didn't fall to the ground because Jason's kick had hurt. No. It was because when he kicked the scar I began to have a flashback.

~ Flashback ~

A man in green suit with question marks on it appeared in a dark corner.

"This is only the beginning." his voice echoed.

A gun was being held in my direction then towards two people who looked like shadows.

"No!" I screamed as a gun shot went off.

I was in pain as someone held me in their arms.

"Your going to be alright." said the person that held me, "I promise."

~~~~~

My eyes shot opened and I looked around. 'Thank god I'm in my room.'

"Your awake!" shouted a voice. I looked in the corner of my bed. Jason jumped out of a chair and was immediately at my side.

"What happened?" I asked rubbing one of my temples.

"I kicked your ass," Jason smirked, "I seriously was starting to think I put you in a coma."

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night." I looked away and started thinking about the flashback.

"Okay, what really happened?" Jason questioned. I faced him and stared into his piercing blue eyes. As if reading my mind, he mumbled, "Flashbacks?"

I nodded my head in hopes he wouldn't ask me any questions.

"What was it about?"

'Damn it.' "I don't really know what it meant, but  I remember a man in a green suit that was covered by question marks."

"And?"

"And a gun shot."

He sighed, "I think I know who you're talking about."

~~~~~

"They call him the Riddler," Jason stated to me and Ducra, "He'd use riddles to annoy the hell out of my old mentor."

"Then why did he appear in my flashback?" I asked.

"I have no idea," he began to think, "but I would be glad to help you find out." he looked at Ducra in hopes she would like the idea.

"Very well," she nodded approvingly, "but I swear, Jason Todd, if she comes back hurt, you don't want to know your fate."

Jason gulped, "Y-yes ma'am."

'Wow, Jason Todd, stuttered.'

Jason and I began to walk away from Ducra, "So," I started, "when can we leave?"

"Whenever your ready."

~~~~~

"Don't you just love the smell of Gotham?" Jason asked standing by the edge of a rooftop and taking off his helmet.

He wore what he called his "Red Hood" uniform which consisted of a red helmet, a brown leather jacket, with a armored chest piece that had a bat logo on it.

He told me I had to look "dressed for the occasion" so I wore an all black armored suit that had a mask.

"No actually," I admitted, "it smells like gasoline and cigarettes."

He smelled the air again, "Yup, that's the smell of Gotham."

"It also smells like old men cologne."

He rolled his eyes, "Can you stop being judgemental please?"

"I'm not being judgemental," I confirmed, "I'm telling the truth."

"The truth is your being judgemental."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Man you two should really go see some couples counseling," Jason and I turned around almost at the exact same time. There stood a guy around Jason's age who was smirking and wore a blue "V" across his chest.

Right next to was a boy around my age who had the exact same smirk on his face. He had some type of bird logo on his chest. The strange part was that the both looked oddly familiar.

'Oh great.'

Only about 2 weeks left of school for me. Hurray!!

As soon as summer comes around I'm going to be publishing chapters more.
