Tw-we should be safe this time around
P.O.V. nobody

Quick recap-
"You shall be granted peace, but one guard is to go with you" was the reply. Of course, they can never make things easy Tirzah thought.
Quick Recap over-

Damian loved the stables. It was a calm place for him to relax and love his many animals. No one but Tirzah and the animal caretakers were ever aloud to disturb him while he was in there. That's why he felt surprised when a 'low-life' guard entered the stables.

"Sir"

Ah, Damian thought, Dale. My favorite guard. What crap lies do you plan to feed me today. Sarcasm practically dripping from his ears at his thoughts.

"I apologize my lord, but yo-your wife has-she has, uhhm, seemingly knocked out the-the guards you sent with her and ran away. She-she has betrayed you" Dale's hands ended up fidgeting at his sides halfway through his speach.

"..."

Damian often used his words to fight his battles. Scaring the enemies off before they could do any damage but, right now, it seemed, he didn't need words. His silence was enough to scare the smarts out of Dale.

Damian, like many people, didn't take kindly to betrayal. The glare damian sent had enough power to scare Dale into backing up his words. Dale reached into his chest pocket and grabbed a previously opened letter. Holding it out to Damian with shaking hands and a bowed head.

Once he had it in his own hands damian read it aloud.

My dearest Damian al ghul Wayne,

I have betrayed you. I have sealed my fate and I understand that. Still, I want you to know that I'm doing this for the better. You gone down a dark road and I have stood to the side for too long. Its time I did something about it.

I'm going to meet with your father in gotham. I know you'll send your men after me as soon as you receive this so I must leave. Know I will always love you.

With hope to see you in a peaceful setting,
Tirzah al ghul Wayne

Of course. Of course, Tirzah wouldn't do as told. Tirzah was a strong women who did what she's believed was needed when she believes its needed. Honestly, Damian wasn't that surprised he was more hurt then anything.

There was nothing else they could do "Send five choppers filled with my best  soldiers after my wife. I'll be behind them." Dale nodded quickly and got up to leave. "Tell the soldiers to not engage in combat unless pushed to. I want her brought back to me." again Dale  nodded.

_______________________________________
With: Tirzah
Where: On the run
When: Almost to wayne manor
P.O.V. nobody
_______________________________________
Tirzah could already tell she was going to hate this city. Gotham was so ugly. With those stupid statues on those stupidly tall buildings, tirzah was completely ready to leave. Except, she remembered her goal, she had to save her husband from himself, and the only way to do that was inquire the help of his family.

So, through Gotham she pushed her already tired body. When she eventually made it to wayne manor she just needed a minute to breathe. She rang the door bell before sitting on the steps.
________

Like, seriously, the bat fam could not get a break first some guys named Andrew shows up with a message, then some girl rings the bell only to pass out on their door step. Honestly, Dick thought as he picked the girl up and moved her inside, We might as well just leave the front door open.

As Dick moved through the manor and into the living room his family and the league all leaned forward to see who was at the door. He laid her gently on the living room couch where Alfred and Andrew began to patch any scars or injuries found.

Bruce moved closer to Andrew. "Who is this woman? Do your know her?" He said in his usually gruff voice. Andrew looked away from the hand he was wrapping in bandages and towards bruce before answering "Of course i know this woman! This is my masters wife, Tirzah Al Ghul Wayne. Wife to Damian Al Ghul Wayne".

The entire room felt as though all oxygen was taken from it. This woman was his daughter-n-law. This made evryone realize how much they didnt know about Damians life. When they next meet he would no longer be a growing teenager, he would be a full grown adult who could drink and had a wife, possibly even kids.

The air would remain filled with questions untill Tirzah woke up.

Hey yall, I feel terrible for leaving y'all hanging for so long. So this chapter isnt as long as the other chapters but, i will finish this story very soon. I promise.
