For the Love of Nightwing

Breaking Point

               This was it. I had snapped. I couldn't take it anymore- all the bull crap I go through because people don't know what I actually went through.

          "Alright, fine." I hissed, I walked over to the front of the room so the whole class could see me, "It all began... When I was a baby I was taken away from my parents because they were evil. When I was a kid I watched my parents get mauled by a lion and the family I looked up to died during a trapeze act," at this point some people had wide eyes, others still looked unaffected, "When I was a pre-teen I came home to find my parents had been murdered, by who? I don't know! When I was a teen I was kidnapped, tortured, and raped, by who? I don't know! And when I was an adult, I found out I had a whole life I forgot, my sister died, and now I'm forced to live in a city where everyone hates me." I huffed out angrily. Professor Duran was speechless.

             "Of course the city hates you," a blonde haired girl stood up from among the students, "When they let you go you didn't have to become a criminal, but you did." I glared at her.
"I was dubbed 'insane' because I didn't know right from wrong. And let me tell you- it was way less than that. The only thing I knew was what He wanted me to do and what He didn't.

            "I had no idea what was going on- I was like a brand new robot: open to programming. I didn't have a choice!" I began to scream. Ned and Barbara jumped up and ran over to me. Barb wrapped me into her arms and pulled me away.
"Funny." Duran said, "They never said anything about overemotional or bipolar." I just looked at her and yelled.

        "Where the h*ll is Dick when you need him?" Barbara sighed as she dragged me out of the class.
"No!" I hollered, squirming out of her grasp, "I need to take this class. I need to be normal again." I began to try to calm down, wiping away my angry tears and my growling becoming begging, my red face turning, once again, to the normal ivory tone.

       "No, Dolly. This is too much for you." Ned reasoned.
"And who the f*ck are you to say sh*t? We met like half an hour ago." I hissed, finally breaking free of Barbara's grip.
"But he's right, Dolls. Why do you even want to do this?" She asked as I returned to my seat.
"For Artemis. She's the only person I remember everything about- only person I'll never get to see again."

          All eyes were on the three of us- mostly me. But eventually Barbara and Ned sat back down, and pair by pair, the eyes fell back to the teacher who wore a triumphant smirk.
"Now, may I continue without interruptions from a lunatic and her two goons?" Duran asked smugly, crossing her arms over her chest. I giggled inwardly.
"Goons? Ha! No way, I've had goons before, 'The White Rabbits'. I actually shared them with my sister Cheshire, we had this whole Wonderland thing going on," I made complicated hand gestures as I began to elaborate, "I'm sure you guys know all about them... They are the ones that blew up those empty apartment buildings and stole over 1,000 valuable automobiles from the car show- in one night I might add, course I was leading them."

         The professor's lips turned into a line, she seemed unable to speak. I realized what I had done and smiled innocently.
"What are you going to do?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders, "I'm mentally insane... Can't help it." I tapped my temple with my index. She opened her mouth, then closed it again.

       I felt a sharp pain in my shin- Barbara had just kicked me from her seat.
"B*tch... Do it again." I said menacingly.
"Has she taken her pills?" Duran demanded of Barbara, who nodded vigorously. Truth was I hadn't taken them in three days, and I couldn't help but have the episode I was having.

           I began laughing, gradually getting louder... And louder. Till I was in the floor banging my fists on the ground.
"PILLS!" I cried out, "For what? Am I getting a little too... Wild for'ya? Want to make me normal? Well I'm not normal!"
"LEAVE!! I will alert Mr. Wayne at once!" Duran thundered. Her voice boomed through the large room, louder than my laughs and giggles.

          I got up drunkishly and stumbled out- still laughing like mad. I fell onto the ground and leaned back onto a wall. After a few minutes I realized what was actually going on... I realized how pissed Bruce would be. I now understood the severity of what I had done.

           My phone (the one Bruce gave me, not the one Joker gave me) began buzzing. I pulled it out and answered quickly before he could get mad.
"Bruce! I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened... I-i was j-j-just-"
"Provoked. I know. Dolly, it's alright. You're off your meds and were put against an emotional situation. I'm just glad you didn't hurt anyone." I could hear the sincerity behind his monotone.

         "P-please, Dad, just c-come get me. I don't like it h-here."
"I can't, Dolly, you need this- court ordered. I'm sorry. We'll have a talk when you get home." I let out a shaky breath and nodded.
"Okay." I said, realizing that he couldn't see me.

      I went back to class: I sat in the back, kept my head down, and mouth shut. I continued the rest of my classes away from everyone, even Barbara. Words can't express my happiness when the last bell rang, I ran out of the building and out to the parking lot where Alfred waited on me.

            "Hey Alfred." I said glumly, taking my bag off of my shoulder.
"Hello Mistress Dolly." He opened the door for me and I climbed inside. Once seated on the white leather seats I sat laid down and pulled out my Joker phone- still didn't have any idea what the password could be, or who I had to think like to figure it out.
