I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT, I HAVEN'T HAD INTERNET FOR WEEKS.

  I clenched my fist, and gritted my teeth, feeling my hands/legs start to burn alongside the tears streaming down my face,

"Mom....Dad...."

_______3rd Person POV___________

   There were no words to describe the pain and heartbreak she felt.

  It hurt so bad to even look up at the people who loved her and raised her for all those years. They were her family, the ones who watched her first steps, who watched her leave for school for the first time. They were the same people who cared and gave her a home before Bruce. Before her new family came into her life.

   Sure, she had grown to love her new family, but she still had love for her original mom and dad. That's why she felt so hurt right now; it was a decision.

  "Why...?" She cried out as the hot tears poured down her face. Her face contorted into pain and sadness. She looked down towards the ground, not wanting to see the faces of the people who betrayed her.

  "You could have told me..." She croaked as she glanced up to her brothers through her short choppy hair. The strands lied uneven over her small framed face, since Scarecrow cut most of her hair saying it would benefit him. She never understood why, and regrets having it cut, wishing it could hide all of her face now.

  "We couldn't-" Her 'mother' began, but was interrupted

  "Yes you could have! You could have told me, but you choose not to! I get that you're in some d*mn clan sh*t, but you could have told me the truth, instead of hiding it from me for fifteen years!" She screamed out, looking up now not caring how she looked to everyone.

  Damian felt guilt rising in him as he watched his twin sister break before him. He watched as her red puffy eyes held rivers as she screamed, and her body shake before her. She looked as if she was ready to collapse at any moment, but still held her ground. He admired her strength, but knew that she was in so much pain and agony.

  "You're right. We could have told you, but we didn't because we wanted to protect you." Her 'father' tried to reason, but the broken girl just laughed with anger lacing her voice,
 
   "And where did that get you and I!?" She stood up and waved her hands around, "Here you held every secret, but I still found out, but in a worse way then what it could have been," she shook her head as she gave a small sarcastic laugh, "Where's that protection now!?"

  Everyone looked at the hysterical girl not knowing what to say. The atmosphere was tense as the parents had a stare off with the beaten kid.

  (Y/N) stood there, growing with more emotions. She didn't know what to do, she felt anger; pain; sadness; guilt; relief; and even courage.

  She gripped her fist together, feeling heat rise in them as she shook her head, glancing around at everyone.

  "None of you protected me at all! All of my life I wasn't protected by anyone! I looked out for myself, and only myself! I wasn't protected by anyone," she paused and looked at the couple, who spoke little but she hated more than anything, "Especially you two!"

  Looking down she gripped her hair slightly, trying to let her frustration out on something, "Every time I fell down, I didn't have anyone to help me!"

  "Get up already, loser!" Falling to the hard grass, little (Y/N) fell down, and huffed out. She glanced up at the kids that were her 'bullies'.
