broken blood ties

Parte sin título 6

Batman remembered those words from the Joker the last time he confronted him as he walked down the Arkham hallway "Oh look that Bat-dad and his hatchlings, the bat only breeds assassins, it's ironic, only the ones that belong to you, are murders, maybe is because the Bat hide a killer inside" when the Joker released his venom to Batman, he was only with Hood trying to rescue Robin, the Joker was trying to provocated him, the Joker said those words caressing Damian's face with a crowbar, in other side was Dick, he had in his hand a gun and his mind confuse, Dick was point to Robin. In this moment Batman thought the Joker refer to Damian and Dick, had surely heard of Robin's confrontation with KGBeast.

Batman stood in front of the door of the Joker's prison "Batman are okay?" Harvey Bullock asked

"Yes" he replied monotonously, shaking his thoughts, Bullock opened the door.

"I'm not Gordon, so I will not allow any abuse on the prisoner" Bullock warned "I will be close" with this warning Bullock aout and closed the door.

The Joker looked up and I smirked "Batsy how long without seeing us" he said in a shrill voice "Awwww Couldn't you wait until I escaped? Miss me, hon?"

"I'm not here for your games" the bat growled "I want answers"

"killjoys! but you just arrived, what do I offer you? A cup of coffee, a piece of cake?"

"I want to know, what you meant when you talked about when you said only the ones that belong to you, they are murders? who did you mean?" Batman growled.

"Oh! poor Batsy!, are you confuse? the Bat had two little birds, the Bat had two little birds, one exploded and now there is only left one, one" the Joker while singing was shaking his head "then one came back being an assassin and now he still has two, two, HA, HAHA!" the clown couldn't stop laughing.

Batman took it by the neck "Stop kidding! if you don't want me to erase that smile, you are become to talk.

"What's up Batsy? Someone went to you with the gossip, I thought that Sheila had taken the secret to his grave" the Joker smiled broadly "it wasn't the way I wanted to finish the auction, I had it planned for later but the disappearance of Willis Todd along with the alleged evidence complicated everything. And Hood was the next, What did you do he? Are you desided finish my work?" The eyes of the Joker widened shining gloomily ", imagine my surprise when Sheila exchanged the information, the boy for closing my mouth" he smiled wide and happy ", a good piece to blackmail, a grate punchline and more when I knowed that the father's boy and Batman were the same person." Then his expression changed to anger "But the brat had to ruin it by returning of the dead, it would have been all so delicious, only if I had found the evidence."

The Joker grimaced "I don't know, maybe I was quick to make it explode so fast" the Joker laughed at his joke

The bat's eyes widened for a surprised moment, a wild chill washed over him with every word, immediately returned to his angry expression "What evidence?" growled menacingly.

"Oh Batsy! you wonder how I discovered you, it was thanks to Sheila, she knew your dirty secret or should say Bruce Wayne's secret, a millionaire leaving behind a innocent boy by own, in hands of a drug dealer an junkie woman. Wayne was the cause of the death of a beautiful woman. It was perfect Bruce would pay well, so beutifull, any price to shut up any person who know his dirty secret" the clown's eyes narrowed with a strange brilliance that he used to have when he was going to hit the hit ", wasn't difficult tying up the ends, the boy who Sheila gave me was named Jason Todd. But he never wasn't a Todd. Uniting what she told me, her clandestine practices, one in particular Natasha Sokolov" the Joker gave him a wicked and satisfying expression.

Batman released the Joker as if he burned him,the Joker began to laugh maniacally to the degree that tears came out of his eyes "It's ironic, so rich, you had him all the time at home, in front your noses and didn't see him and now the little zombie bird flew and didn't return for what I heard, maybe he is dead again" the Joker laughed again " If you didn't , I don't think he'll come back after you almost killed him, according to that the penguin told me, Batsy, Batsy your biological children are our greatest failure. Oh! c'mon! let's celebrate"

Batman walked away horrified to the delight of the Joker, making him his day, or possibly even the year. Batman knocked on the door, he needs to leave the place, he felt suffocated, almost threw Bullock on his way out, ran straight to the Batmobile, screeching the tires run away, he needed to know if what the psychopath told him was true. Suddenly he felt his heart stop, now everything made sense, the cup, the deletion files, somehow Jason already knew it, this was the reason burned the bridges, became unreachable, a shadow, Batman couldn't imagine how alone, confused, so hurt, unsure of the place he had in the family, always rejected, the comparisons to his predecessor, fights, his death, if everything was true Batman had caused the death of his own son, Batman remembers when he buried a batarang himself in the boy's neck, when he hit him furiously. Every time he and Robin revile Jason for things he didn't do to his innocent boy, he rejected him over and over until he finally exhausted the boy to the point that Barbara said Jason was now avoiding them like the plague.

Bruce felt a lump in his throat when he imagined it, his son not only adoptive, his son of flesh and blood feeling cornered, hurt, abandoned to the degree that he preferred to flee as far as anything that could remind him that he was unwanted. "Damn, Jason, I'm sorry" whisper with the lump in the throat. .

But there are a few more, the desperate way Jason deleted the files, made sure his DNA was unrecoverable, but then why go for the cup sooner? Why wait to delete the data? something was still floating, something the bat didn't have yet.
