The Missing Piece (Batfam x reader)

Chapter 24

*previously*

Just because her wounds were closed and she was healthy and stable doesn't mean she could still wake up normal. Just because she had Lazarus in her doesn't mean she was safe from harm, she still could feel pain, and could still have the slashes, stabs, scrapes, and burns from real things. She wasn't safe because of her power...

"She's...died before..."

3rd Person POV

  "Died...h-how?"

  "Testing, experiments,"

  "She most likely died from the chemicals and overexertion of her power, and then they knew that since she had the Lazarus already in her, that the pit wouldn't give her the minor effects, just the major 'coming back to life'. And after her resurrection, she was still documented as being deceased. When she came back, she had the powers, which her 'parents' took advantage of, and kept for themselves, instead of the League. Talia was informed that she had died in accident experiment, and the Lazarus wouldn't work on her, so that's when she started to train Damian," there was a slight pause as Bruce regained his breathe,

  "(Y/N) probably came out with no memory, so she didnt remember anything about Talia or the league, and she was put into the normal society. Her 'parents' didn't know when her powers would return, so they kept a close eye on her all these years. After a few years of keeping her on the down low though, and letting her stay a normal kid, the League finally got word and discovered that she was alive and doing fine. So they sent members after her, probably thinking that I had her, since I had Damian, and that's where we all found out about her and adopted her. While she stayed with us though, her parents contacted the Court and a few other Gotham villains, all agreeing on different ways to bring out her power, since they needed her as a weapon, now. That's when all of this went down."

   (Y/N) sat on the bench, Talia beside her, their hands full of the delicious creamy cold sweet. Both were listening on the the boys conversation, since they could hear them, just not respond or move.

  "So that's the story..." She said as she licked the cone. Their was a little bit of surprise as she sat there, eating the treat. She knew some of the story, but now she knew the full story. Except she doesn't remember her childhood still. She could see little scene-like pictures, but never the full memory.

  "Yeah...sorry kid," she heard the older woman say from next to her. Talia had her hand on the never ending ice cream cone, and the other resting on the back of the bench. She glanced every now and then at (Y/N), saying some reashurring words to her, to help keep her calm.

  (Y/N) had her elbows rested on her knees as she held her head, the ice cream disappearing. She wasn't mad, nor sad about all of it, she was a little confused and disappointed. Her short jagged hair fell in front of her face as she puckered her lips, in thought. She sighed and lowered her head down slightly, watching the holographic-like ground.

  'So then why did they act so caring?...was it just an act or did they actually care about me?...'

  She thought to herself, asking so many questions, but getting no answers. She knew that Dream Talia wouldn't know the answers, since she was (Y/N)'s mind.

  She looked over at the mother, seeing her licking the cone. She seemed to stare off at the marvelous park. Full bloomed, green trees waved with the wind, as some small leaves fell. The sunlight seemed to peak through the small cracks in the branches, and hit just right, where the small pond was. Little lilies, cattails, and tall grass surrounded the little pond, and (*favorite flower*)s decorated around those.
