Renegade (Arkhamverse)

Chapter 7

The song in the media is Renegades favourite song.

I groaned in pain as I came slowly around.

"Ah, you're awake." I head a familiar voice say.

I glanced to the left to see slade.
He was in a cell, wearing an orange jumpsuit but it was slade nontheless.

I felt nauseated as my body moved through the bars without my brain telling it too.

I vomited, a splitting headache making itself known.

"Ew." slade murmered.

I stopped vomiting and I looked at him.

"Why are there two of you?" I asked Confused as my vision blurred and came in and out of focus.

"It's the side effects of the psycholological implant." he stated like it was obvious.

I stumbled back into the cell wall sliding down it until I was sitting down next to slade.

"What implant!" I groaned clutching my head.

"I had an implant placed inside your head, I have one as well. Ours are linked meaning when we both sleep we can talk to each other in dreams."

"Knowing you, slade. That isn't all the implant can do."

He inched closer putting his arm around my shoulders. I felt his body vibrate as he chuckled.

"You're right, it does other things as well."

We sat in silence taking in the dream world.

"Is this your cell at Blackgate?" I asked him. Slade looked tired. Borderline physically drained.

"It is."

"But this is a dream. How come your "
still in a cell."

"I don't know, a whim of the human brain perhaps?"

I said nothing.

The cell was small and made from stone. Smashed tiles clung to the wall.
It was cold and felt claustrophobic.

Do you remember your parents?"
Slade asked softly his eyes fixed on a broken tile on the wall In front of him

I was taken aback by the question.
Mostly because slade already knew, why was he asking?

"I remember they abandoned me at gothams pinkney orphanage."

My headache got worse, imagines started to flash into my mind. It was overwhelming.

"The implant created false memories and suppressed your real one's."

"Why would you need to lock away my memories!" I demanded my voice echoed throughout the cell.

"You were being trained."

Another memory flashed violently into my head. As more memories came my headache gradually decreased in pain.

"I'm a talon." my eyes widened in realisation.

Slade nodded. "Your parents are members of the court of owls."

"You were six."

"I was being tortured so I escaped and begged you to stop the court from hurting me."

"You had escaped, and were being persued by talons, led by your father."

"You almost died." I giggled at the memory of Slades reaction when I jumped into the fight using talon moves. "It took both of us together to win against four talons."

Slade smiled. "You remember."

I nodded putting my head on his shoulder. "I remember, I especially remember your birthday pancakes."

"We both laughed.  You wanted them black and orange, like your dad. You said."

"I never got to say this but thanks for being there. Dad."

"You're welcome, son."

Another memory flashed through my mind.

"My mission." I blurted out.

"won't be complete for a while." slade stated blandly

"But I need to bring them down!"

"You don't have to do anything, you could leave the bat to take the court down." slade suggested.

I could, dad. But where is the fun in that." I smirked.

"I want revenge and believe me when I say I'll have it."

"You won't be safe, not now that you remember everything."

"I know, I'll figure something out."

"The bunker."

"What about it?"

"It's the safest place for you."

"The security is out dated."

"No, you just haven't got the code to activate the protocol."

"Seriously, the court was after us and you didn't tell me the security codes?"

Slade frowned ignoring my remark.

"Who's the joker."

I looked down frantically, my top had disappeared along with my trousers.

"Oh, yeah, I was kiddnapped and tortured for an hour or so."

"He branded you!" slade yelled furiously causing me to flinch slightly.

"I'll fucking kill him, for free as well!"

Slades voice began to muffle and fade out.

Slade stopped and smiled.
"You're waking up, watch out for the bat, watch out for the court, and bring me the jokers body!"

I laughed, hugging Slades dream self.

Before my eyes shot open, and I was alone on a snowy  Gotham roof top.
