Dear Batman,

I have spent all day looking everywhere for Bruce and Dick Grayson. I cannot find them anywhere. I am in my room tonight feeling sick. I've been getting a headache from all the piercing things going on with my ears. I keep hearing a lot of voices and things happening out on the street...it makes me cry hearing so much pain inside this place. But, what I do know is that everything was going to get better. Alfred said that Bruce and Dick were going to be home soon. I just wish you would come and see me. I miss you, actually. I really wish you were reading this. I miss my parents Batman. Please...visit me soon.

Besides, I wanna see what in the heck is happening with my sister.

Did she actually turn me into this person?

Does God want me to be like this?

I need answeres and He isn't helping me. He is ignoring me, as usual.

I'll see you later, Bats.

Love,

Jasper Long

I put my journal down and curl into a ball, my stomach was hurting like crazy. It felt like someone was stabbing my stomach over and over again. My spine felt like it was breaking and it would come in waves. It would hurt like hell and I would be screaming into a pillow and then it would all go away. Eventually, it stopped but then my headaches were getting worse and worse. Eventually, I just screamed for Alfred. He came running into the door and came to my bed side asking me what was wrong.

"It hurts!" I cried.

I blame my sister for this.

She must have cursed me or something. She was the one that shocked me, tortured me, made me do things and I would wake up not remembering anything. Alfred quickly went to the phone in the other room and apparently called Bruce Wayne and told him to get back quickly. He then came back in the room and I asked what was going on with me.

"I don't know dear one, Batman is still trying to figure it out. He's getting answers, I promise." Alfred explained to me. I nod and tried to hold back the pain but I couldn't. This time, my ears were bleeding. The voices in my head were echoing in laughter.

"Pandora's box is looking full! Looks like you need to go out and kill!" They seethed through their teeth.

"No!" I cried.

"You don't have a choice! You saw what she did to you! Kill her!"

"I can't!"

"You will!"

"What are they saying?" Alfred asked me.

"They want me to kill," I whispered. That's when Pandora's box opened. I saw a dark figure in the corner. I jumped and screamed but it was all too late. Suddenly I wasn't in control of my body anymore. There was someone coming to me and he was smiling like crazy. Apparently Alrfed didn't see anything or anyone. He was trying to talk to me. I saw myself turn and hit Alrfred and made him fly into the wall. I gasped and tried to kick out of it but it wasn't happening.

"Let your heart show its true identety," Said the demon. He came close so that I could see his face. He looked like my father but his eyes were black, his smile was grim.

"Father?" I whispered.

Apparently I can freaking talk but I can't conrol my body. That makes sense!

"I am basically his evil twin," He laughed, "But you...she did exactly what I wanted." He smiled grimmly at me. What? Who? When? I swollowed hard and shook my head. This isn't happening. I can't be doing this! My father was the nicest person in the world and I killed him.

"You didn't kill me honey. Mom yes, not me. You brought out my true self." He said as if he had ready mind. He came forward and that's when I fell down onto the bed and felt my arms being put to my side and I couldn't move. It was like magic! My father grabbed the seat against the wall, well...he used the force I guess you can say and sat down across from me with his elbows on his knees and a grim smile on his face again.

"Let me tell you something." He said and took a deep breath, "You have powers. Powers that you can use for good or evil but if you try and hold back your evil self you'd only be holding back the mist amazing power of all times. That power being able to kill. The power to take care of all the violence in this world. We are a rare alien race, Jasper. You, and me. Your adopted sister is just a person who can shock others." He rolled his eyes, "But in our race, you and I were born for this. We were to take down these super humans, the villians and bring our world to this earth."

I blinked, "I'm what?" I whispered.

"An alien needing to take care of her planet." He said simply, "Your powers never came because you were never in fear. Your mother never liked you leaving because to her you were as fragile as a vase but...that's why I adopted your step sister. To test you. Eventually, because of the darkness Batman held, you were drawn to it. Those voices, those are the people from the planet. They need you to get deeper into your mind, Jasper. I will teach you everything you need to know before I go home and create a new human body."

My head was spinning. This was all a freaking nightmare. None of this was really making sense but before I could get anything out of him, there was footsteps and yelling coming from downstairs. My father stood, kissed my temple and just in the blink of an eye was gone. Just like that, I was alone and in pain. The demons, well...my race I guess...left. I was normal again. Well human...

I laid on the bed, exausted from everything that happened to me.
