Bruce spotted Yara near, as he walks towards her a woman walks over " Bruce, come here. I want you to meet someone."

" Uh, not now. I need to see somebody important." The woman dragging him with her, Bruce went to turn his heel " now, am I pronouncing this right? Mr Ra's Al Ghul?"

A man bald man in front of him has his head low Bruce face turn pale, the bald man slowly turns around facing Bruce, he's frozen in fear. ' It's like a wolf knows it's dying' Yara's voice echoes inside Bruce's head. 

" You aren't Ra's Al Ghul. Watched him die." His voice is low, intense. 

A deep husky voice spoke behind Bruce" But Ra's Al Ghul immortal? Or is it his supernatural powers?" The intense tone in Ra's Al Ghul's voice who taunts the young gentleman cause goosebumps on Bruce's skin, all of his hairs on his neck. " Or some cheap parlour tricks to conceal your true identity, Ra's Al Ghul."

Ra's Al Ghul chuckles approaching him " surely a man who spends his nights scrambling over the rooftops of Gotham with my daughter wouldn't begrudging me a dual identity." Leaving a small gap between each other. 

" I saved your life..." 

" I warned you about compassion, Bruce. Have you ever wondered if your daughter was in front of your eyes all these seven years? After all these years. She's been in front of you. You've been so blinded."  The immortal man in front of him towered his old apprentice.  

Ra's Al Ghul grew an expression of satisfaction watching Bruce's face turn pale white, " You...it was you who took her..." 

He chuckles" course when I heard that your friend at the time was pregnant with your mistake, I took her. To take her away from a playboy millionaire, why would someone like you care for a child, Bruce?" 

" You don't know that."

" Father?" says a soft voice, both of the men look over to Yara who walks up to Ra's Al Ghul," thought you were dead" she whispers, Bruce painfully watches Yara tightly hug Ra's Al Ghul who tightly wrapped his arms around his daughter. " No, no, no." Kissing her head an ice-cold glare meeting with Bruce's eyes. " I watched the house explode" she muffled into his jacket. " Shh shhh, everything's alright" assuring her cupping her cheeks looking at her. 

" How has Bruce been treating you?" he asks. 

She nods.

" After tonight we'll be going home, how does that sound?" he taunts Bruce brushing a lock of hair out of Yara's face. 

In a protective mode, Bruce placed his hand on Yara's left shoulder slowly putting her behind him. Ra's Al Ghul half chuckled, " your welcome to explain the situation." 

Bruce brown eyes pierced into his ancient one's eyes. Slowly turning his heel around " everybody, everyone " Bruce says gaining everyone's attention. " I uh, want to thank you all for coming here tonight drinking all of my booze" everyone chuckled along with Bruce. He looks over to Ra's Al Ghul. 

" Now really is the thing about being a Wayne that you're never short of a few freeloaders like yourselves to fill up your mansion with so here's to."  

" Bruce, your drunk," Mr Eral commenting. 

" Oh no, I'm not finished. To all of you phonies all of you two-faced friends you sycophant thick, suck-ups. Who smile through your teeth at me, please, leave me in peace. Let me be at peace, please go." People nervously smiled. 

" Stop smiling, it's not a joke, leave. The party's over. Get out." 

Slowly the mansion became empty, once everyone was out, Ra's Al Ghul, Bruce and Yara are the only ones remained. 

" When I found you in that jail, you were lost. But I believed in you, both of you. I took away your fear. And I showed you a path your daughter is the greatest student I've ever had. Clever. Intelligence. It should be you as well standing by my side along with her saving the world." 

" I'm standing where I belong, between and the people of Gotham." 

" No one can save Gotham." Leaving the adults to speak. 

" The forest grows too wild- the purging fire is inevitable and natural tomorrow the world will watch in horror as its greatest city destroy itself. The movement moves back to harmony will be unstoppable this time. " 

" You'd say you would save Gotham." 

" Of course! Over the ages, our weapons have grown more sophisticated with Gotham we tried, economies. But we underestimated certain Gotham's citizens such as your parents." Ra's Al Ghul continues to taunt Bruce, his mansion slowly roars in flames. For this became far too much for her. Flashes of her home relived that moment in the mountains. 

" Duns down by one of the very few people that we're trying to help. Create enough hunger and everyone becomes a criminal. Their death galvanised the city into saving itself and Gotham has limped on ever since. We are back to finish the job and this time no misguided idealist will get in the way like your father you lack the courage to do all that is scary. If someone stands in the way of true justice you simply walk up the high heel behind them and stab them in the heart, just as your daughter has done many times" 

Suddenly behind them two ninja's jump down going to attack Bruce.
