For the Love of Nightwing

Déjà Vu

A room. That's all it was. One that the only memory I had was from a dream... Or was it a flashback? I didn't recall much of it, just the dark outline from my flashback with me calling Bruce 'Dad'. I wasn't sure what it had looked like when I left but I had a feeling it was exactly like this, I was positive Bruce wouldn't have changed it.

I walked over to the king sized bed and ran my hand over the silky duvet. My small smile quickly turned into a frown as a headache began to form within my temple.
"Not again." I growled, falling to my knees.

~Flashback~

"She's cool I guess, but I like Robin. He saved me one time, you know?" I mentioned while laying my head down on my pillow, "You can lay down too." He hesitantly moved forward to slip under the duvet. I turned to my side so that we were facing each other.

"Really? He saved you?" Dick questioned. I nodded and rolled onto my back, wincing as my ribs began to hurt.
"About two days before Bruce adopted me." Tears welled up in my eyes. Why do I cry so much? I let out a heavy sigh.
"But the parents you had before weren't your real parents?"
"No. Before them was my parents in the circus," this was exactly what Bruce wanted me to avoid- me getting close to Dick as Dolly; I was supposed to be close to Robin as Blue Jay.

~End~

I rubbed my eyes as the short memory went away. Standing up I saw Alfred standing at my door with a damp cloth and a bottle of aspirin. When he saw that I noticed him he hurried over.
"My dear, Mistress Dolly, when you didn't come down for dinner I came to check on you... You were unconscious." Alfred spoke rather quickly and had panic in his voice.

I stood up slowly, rubbing my head. He came over to me and tried to sit me down on the bed.
"What time is it?" I asked, ignoring his worried face.
"Almost 8. Here you go, Miss." he handed me the pills and water, "I will go tell Master Bruce that you are okay.

I groaned as I opened the container and he left. Just as I popped the pills into my mouth I heard a tap on the window. I quickly ran to it, ready to go nuts and attack it. But when I pushed the window open no one was there. Looking around with furrowed eyebrows, I finally looked down onto the ledge and found a purple and gold phone. I picked it up carefully and examined it, knowing exactly who left it when I heard a familiar laugh echo through the dark night.

I turned it on, the lock screen had a picture of Harley, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman all with there- Harley held her gun next to her head with a big, toothy smile. Poison Ivy had vines wrapped around her ankles, giving a wicked smile. Catwoman held her whip up with a smirk and a wink.

I smiled to myself, looking down at the screen. Suddenly frowning when I realized I didn't know the password.
"Miss," a voice said, I hid the phone behind my back and looked at Alfred, "Master Bruce wishes to speak with you." I nodded with a nervous smile, he turned around and left.

I breathed out a sigh of relief and brought the phone back so I could see it. Slightly frustrated at not being able to unlocked​ it, I threw it on to my bed and ran downstairs. I came to up to Bruce who was seated at the dinner table.
"Dolly?"
"What?" I asked, he looked at me with wide eyes, "Sorry. I mean, 'yes, your majesty?'." I curtsied sarcastically. He shook his head.
"You will begin Gotham University on Monday, and-"
"Does Dick go there?!" I asked happily. He shook his head again, my smile falling to a frown.

"Is that it?" I asked glumly.
"We will be visiting the Young Justice League on Tuesday." He added. I nodded once then turned to leave.
"And Dolly!" I spun around to face Bruce once again, "I'm sorry. I've been really hard on you. I know you can't help it. And I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at them for making you this way."

I gave him a weak smile and left for my room. I stayed up all night thinking of the password- didn't even type one in, knowing Joker would have it shut down if it was wrong too many times. I didn't mind staying up, I was used to it and it kept me from having nightmares.

~Time Skip~

Monday Morning

I was awoken gently by Alfred who held a wooden tray with orange juice, toast, and some fresh baked cookies. I sat up, the clock read 6:00am. He sat the tray down slowly.
"I don't eat this." I said pointing at the chocolate chip cookies. Alfred looked at me with a distraught look.
"Why not?"
"I don't eat poison."
"Right. I forgot you were like that."
"Alfred... I'm not hungry..." I stated, ducking my head. His eyes widened and he took the tray back.
"Okay, the-" My stomach let out a loud growl, making Alfred stop dead in his tracks. He turned to face me slowly.
"You didn't eat last night either."

I held my breath. Getting a random idea I jumped out of the bed. Taking my shirt off.
"What are you doing!"
"Changing. You should probably get going before you see something you don't want to." I laughed at the end and began taking my shorts off. He set the tray down on the dresser.
"Nice try, Mistress Dolly, it's gonna take more than that to drive me away. And you wouldn't-"
"I'm gonna change my bra." I brought my hands up to the hook of my bra and began to take it off. He dashed out of the room and closed the door behind him.
