The life of Batsis

The Reval. 5

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.

Bruce's Pov.

I was sitting on a rooftop across from the hospital. Alex was gonna be released tomorrow and i had officially adopted her, when she is released she's gonna move into the mansion (she just doesn't know it yet). Alfred was already getting her room ready right now,i still hadn't told her that i was her biological father. Even tho i've fought horrorfying and murderous villains like the Joker, Bane and Poison Ivy and more, i'm still too scared to tell her that i'm her father, after all she must think that i abandoned or didn't want her, since she told me that her mother never told her what happened or why i or in other words her father wasn't around. I let out a sigh as i saw the bat-signal in the sky. I jumped down from the rooftop ready to do my nightly job.

~Time Skip~

It was 4:00 Am in the morning when i got back, i was finally done for the night. Apparently there had been a breakout at Arkham witch is why commissioner Gordon had sent out the bat signal. I wasn't really tired since i got use to the many hours without sleep to solve a case. But right now i had a lot on my mind, because tomorrow i simply had to tell her that i am her father(AN: Luke i am your father!...Sorry i just had to do it). I got out of the Batmobile and made my way to the computers so i could do some work, just to get my mind of things. I heard the elevator come down signalling that Alfred was coming down.

"Late night again sir?"

I gave a sigh and leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes.

"I'll take that as a yes"

Alfred came over with a tray with a cup of coffee and placed on my desk in front of me.

"How am i gonna tell her that i'm the father that just abandoned her"

"Sir, i do believe that is it not your fault. You simply didn't know that you had a daughter, and i'm sure that she will understand"

I stood up and ran my hand through my hair.

"But i would have known if i had opened that letter the moment i got it. But no i just threw it away thinking that it wasn't important, but i didn't realize that a little girl would suffer from the mistake that i made"

Alfred walked over and put his on my shoulder

"With all do respect sir, you could not be more wrong. From the short time that i've talked to her i've seen a young, strong, confident, open minded and very forgiving girl. To be honest she's almost a spitting image of you when you were her age sir"

A sad smile formed on my lips.

"As always your right old friend, thank you"

"Your welcome sir, now i do believe that you should get some rest"

I chuckled and made my way towards the elevator.

"Goodnight Alfred"

"Goodnight master Bruce"

Alexis's Pov.

I was sitting in my hospital room looking out of the window as usual, it had after all become the norm for the past month. I would be released this afternoon, but first apparently Miss. Tucker had to talk to me about something very important. I had a slight suspicion that it was about my so called biological father. My sight turned away from the window as i looked at my legs, yes i've been training them but i can still feel that something isn't right when i walk. But on a lighter note Bruce and Alfred are still coming by, tho i doubt that i'm gonna be able to talk to them more soon since i'm being released, i was sad that this could mean that i would never meet Bruce or Alfred again.

"Alex?"

Said a person from the door scarring the life out of me.

"Ahhh!"

I screamed in shock as i fell of the bed.

"Oh my are you ok"

Said the person who i now recognized, it was Miss. Tucker.

"Yeah i'm fine, you just gave me a heart attack"

"Sorry i thought you heard me, i knocked a few times and when you didn't answer i thought that you were asleep"

She helped me off the floor and back up to the bed.

"No i guess i was just deep in thought"

She just smiled at me, she was about to say something when all of a sudden her phone rang. She took it out of her purse.

"Hello this is Susan Tucker... yes i'm at the hospital now, i'm actually with her right now. When will you be here... ok... i see... we'll see you then bye"

"Who else is coming?"

I asked, she just smiled at me.

"You'll see"

~Timeskip 10 minutes later~

We have just been talking about a bunch of things for the past 10 minutes, when suddenly the door to the room opened and in stepped...

"Bruce?"

I asked confused as to why the heck Bruce was here.

"Hello Alex, Susan. Sorry i'm late, i had some paperwork i had to finish"

"Oh it's fine we have just been talking about some old memories"

Said Miss. Tucker as she stood up and walked over and shook hands with Bruce.

"Great now that we are all here let's start, because i'm sure you are very confused by now Alex"

I looked back and forth between Miss. Tucker and Bruce before i gave a little nod. Miss Tucker then continued...

"Well do you remember the DNA test that you gave permission to have taken"

I just gave a short nod again

"Well while you were unconscious it was taken and it turns out that we have found your biological father"

She said as she looked at... Bruce. My eyes became wide and my mouth almost hung open. I turned and pointed at Bruce.

"You're my... my... you're my...and i'm your..."

Bruce gave me a sad smile and slowly nodded.

"Yes Alex, i'm your biological father"

Meanwhile Miss. Tucker apparently walked out of the room, i think i heard her mutter something about giving us some time alone. I didn't really know how to react to this, one side of me was really happy and the other was furious. But i was apparently to deep in thought because i didn't realize that i had started crying. Bruce walked towards me, i instantly moved a little away. But he just walked over and sat at the side of the hospital bed. He slowly put his hand on my cheek, making me flinch, but he just wiped my tears away.

"I'm sorry i wasn't there for you. I never knew... your mother just disappeared and never told me that she was pregnant with such an amazing little girl. But now i'm here and i promise that you'll never have to be alone again, because i will always be there for you, i will always protect you. You have my word"

I just started crying more as i broke down and hugged him. He just put his arms around me and rocked us back and forth as i clung to his suit crying and letting go of all the sadness i had held back for so many years, because now... now i finally had a family again.

So this was one hell of a chapter to write but like the others if you find any spelling mistakes(witch you probably will)please do tell me and I will fix them. And as always I wish you all a good day or night where ever you are in the world.

Misker Out.
