Past Unknown

9. Finding out about him

May 2nd

When I open my eyes I see Jason and Dick on either side of me with Tim against the wall and Bruce looking at the computer beside me. "What happened? What time is it? And why am I in the infirmary?" I ask shooting up to sit straight up. "OH MY GOD AMIRA!" "Mykie. Calm down. Peanut is okay. She's with Alfred right now baking your favorite cookies. And it's 8:00. In the morning." Jason tells me rubbing my arm. I nod my head laying back in the bed. "You collapsed last night." He informs me and I just sigh.

"Amira's so young. She doesn't understand why we came back." I start explaining. "Kay. It's okay you don't need to explain." Dick said I wave him off. "Yes I do." I say before continuing. "She doesn't know about her father and she definitely doesn't know what happened that lead him to not being here to see her grow up. She doesn't know what I am or what she might be when she's older. And she doesn't know what I do at night while she's sleeping. I thought that maybe if I brought her here that she could at least see where I grew up. That she could at least feel a little closer to Damian even if she doesn't know him. I didn't realize how much would change being back here. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for everything. For leaving, for not telling you about Amira, and most importantly for not keeping in contact. It took me a long time to stop feeling guilty about what happened enough for me to come back." I explain to them. Dick puts his hand on the back of my head (in a brotherly manner). Tim sighs. "Kay, if you think we hate you for what you had to do, you're wrong. Dead wrong. We were hurt and worried about you. We lost two of the most important people in our lives in a matter of a couple days. We didn't know what to do. But the only thing that matters now is that you're back. Safe, healthy, and with our niece." He tells me walking closer.

I'm about to say something I'm return but get cut off by Bruce speaking up. "Your energy is almost back to normal so we should get you upstairs and out of this cave." I nod my head agreeing. I need to see my daughter. Then I remember something as I swing my legs over the side of the bed.

"Oh yeah. Before I forget. I tried to reach out to Damian earlier using his sword." I start. "Yeah we know Willy. That's why you were in the infirmary in the first place." Dick tells me. "What you don't know that I got a clearer view of where I think he is. But the thing is. Something was off with him. I tried to call out to him but he didn't seem to recognize me or my voice then he pushed me out of his mind. I think that's what knocked me out." As I explain they all look concerned. "What? What is wrong with you guys." I ask them. "We don't know for sure but do you think that if the League are the ones that took him that they could have found a way to give him some kind of amnesia or block his memories of you?" Tim questions me. That's when I feel my face pale. Oh No.

Tim's P.O.V

I notice her face pale when I ask her that question. "Kay? What is running through your head? Talk to us." Jason says walking over to her. She closes her eyes before answering. "If what you think is true guys. This is not good at all. For any of us. If that is the case then it's not just me they blocked from his memories. And it's not a serum that we could find an antidote to. It's a person. And only one person I know that is still loyal to the league that can do something like this has been after me my whole life. What's even worse is there is only two ways that I know of reversing it. The first one is to get the one who put it there to remove it willingly. But the other way is to kill the person who put on him." She tells us, I notice something different happening around her. "Who is it Mykie?" Bruce pushes her. She opens her eyes and I can see the anger and fire in them.

(This is what Tim is seeing when he looks at Mykie's eyes)

"Rose Wilson. My sister." She responds as fire starts dancing up her arms. "Jay. Calm her down before she hurts herself." I whisper from beside my brother. "Mykie, look at me. Think of peanut. Think of how you have an amazing little girl waiting for you. Wanting to see her momma. Don't think of that right now. We will work this all out." He walks closer to her putting one hand on her shoulder and the other directing her to look at him. I notice the fire starting to go out from her hands before I see it in her eyes. Mykie exhales before looking at us in horror. "Oh My God. I am so sorry you guys. I haven't been that out of control in a few years." She apologizes. "Let's just get up to the manor to see your little girl." Bruce instructs.

As they leave I stay in the cave to do research. I notice something I didn't when Mykie was down here. A drawing sitting on the ground where she collapsed. She must have drawn this while she was out without knowing it. I pick it up to inspect it. All I see is training equipment, what looks like a converted citadel and a shirtless male with his back facing out. But as I look closer, I notice something about the male in the drawing. He has the same scars Damian had after Talia killed him. This is what Mykie saw when she reached out to him.

Damian's P.O.V

I do not understand how this person was able to look into my mind or how she could communicate with me. But I cannot get a single image out of my mind. I am sitting in my quarters with a charcoal and paper in hand trying to get the image out onto the page.

I feel like I have seen her face before but I do not know where from.

Mykie's P.O.V

I slowly walk into the kitchen to see my daughter sitting on the counter munching down on one of Alfred's famous chocolate chip cookies. I walk over to her kissing her head. "Hi my little angel. Did you have fun with Grandpa Alfred?" I ask her and she smiles. "I did. I did mummy. We baked cookies! See!" She said pointing to the trays on the counter and the cookie in her hand. "I see that sweetie." I tell her as I kiss her head again.

"Mummy. I has a question." Amira says. "What's the matter sweetie?" I ask her. "Mummy. Why don't I have a daddy?" My heart automatically drops when she asks her question. I look at Alfred before looking at the men behind me. "Well baby. You see. You do have a daddy but your daddy is... Away. He will be back soon though." I tell her she nods slowly as she bites into her cookie. "You should tell her a little about Demon." Jay whispers to me. I lightly glare at him for using that nickname but nod my head after. I pick her up off the counter holding her in my arms. "Amira. Baby. Would you like to hear about your daddy?" I question her and she smiles nodding her head. "Okay sweetie." I walk her into the living room and sit down on the couch with her in my lap.

"So baby girl. Let's start. Your daddy's name was Damian. He was Papa Bruce's son just like your uncle's are. He loved to read and paint just like you do. He was very protective of the ones he loved and cared about." I start to tell her. "What was daddy like?" She asks and Dick and Jay laugh a little. "Well. Daddy as I said was very protective. But he didn't have many friends besides the ones that are friends of Papa Bruce. He was a very loving but closed off person. He could also be a little bit hot-headed like Uncle Jay-Jay." I say and she starts giggling and Jay gasps. "Hey that's not very nice." Amira giggles some more. I turn around and smile at Jay.

After dinner Amira falls asleep in my arms so I bring her upstairs to my room and lay her down. Once she's all tucked in I head down to the cave. I walk over to the Bat-computer and do a little research on Nanda Parbat. I'm too invested in my research that I don't hear the guys return from patrol. I suddenly come across some footage of what looks like Talia directing her assassin's to bring someone in.

"Did you find something?" I'm startled when I hear the voice behind me. I turn around to see Tim and Bruce standing there. "I don't know. Maybe." I reply as I turn back to face the computer. "So I decided to do some research into the old compound on Nanda Parbat. I found out that we were still hacked into their surveillance cameras. I then found this footage from what I'm guessing is four years ago." I explain to them. "And you think it might be Damian don't you?" Bruce asks and I nod my head.
