An Assassin's Rose

Chapter 12: Back at the Batcave

Back at the Batcave, Ruby was sitting down on the floor in a short sleeved black shirt, dark red skirt, and black shoes.

Her arms and legs were completely bandaged, and she had some Band-Aids on her face.

Thanks to her aura she managed to slightly heal her wounds but because of Damian she was too tired to completely heal them.

Thankfully for her it was enough not to get stitches like Dick.

She hates needles, which is ironic since she's been trained to use acupuncture needles.

As she watches Dick get stitches she eats her ice cream that Batman gave her to make her feel better.

"It really ticks mess off after all those lectures he gave me, about using protection." Dick said annoyed.

"Indeed." Alfred replied.

Dick winces at the pain of the needle "Are you alright, Master Dick?" Alfred asked.

"I took the cut. I can take the stitch." Dick replied.

"Maybe you need more anesthetic." Damian stated.

The hero looks at the assassin angrily "And maybe you need to go..." "Master Dick!" Alfred said cutting him off.

"And maybe you should remember who the blood son is."

"Bloodthirsty is more like it." Ruby and Dick said at the same time.

Dick looks at Ruby in curiosity, she seems different for someone that's basically be trained to not only be an excellent warrior but to be the future wife to a bloodthirsty young assassin.

"So how come you're not like him? Not that I'm complaining?" he asked Ruby.

"I wasn't raised by a league of assassin's like Damian. I'm just a normal girl whose family are a secret task force for my homes government. On my mom's side of the family that is. So, being a force to be recon with is a given. But either way, I grew in a more...normal environment."

The butler and hero look at her impressed and shocked that her family work for the government.

Ruby looks at where Damian was standing a few minutes ago "But because of some complications I'm stuck here with the demon spawn himself." She added

Finishing her ice cream, she sets it down on a nearby table and goes to look at the suits. "You are so going to pay for making my body ache" she said to Damian.

"Shouldn't have interfered." Damian replied.

The huntress frowns at him and punches him in the arm "Ow hey! Unlike you I had to get stiches as well." The assassin said rubbing his arm.

Ruby sticks out her tongue "You deserve it you little brat!" she smirks but her eyes caught a suit that was right next to the Robin suit, it was a black turtleneck dress with fingerless gloves attached to the sleeves, a red utility belt, a black cape, black calf length boots with red strings, and small red mask.

She looks at it in wonder "So cool." She muttered.

Damian rolls his eyes and looks at the robin suit before looking at Dick and asking, "This was yours?"

"Still is." Dick said walking over to him.

Damian opens the glass, but Dick closes it "Keep your hands off it."

"Is this what you wore in training?" Damian asked.

"It's what I wore when I went on patrol" Dick replied.

Looking back at the suit with a smirk Damian said, "The only thing it's missing is a lace trim and a sun hat."

Ruby let's out a small laugh and covers her mouth.
