The Batfamily Idol

4

Just like we planned Jason was with us today while we got ready for the concert tonight. "So what was Riku like when he joined the Wayne family?" Nagi asked

"Well he wasn't really all that open to all of us considering what he'd just gone through it took us a while to get him to accept that he was safe and we wouldn't hurt him at all" Jason said while giving the concert venue a thorough once over,  "but mind you once Damian, that little turd, came into the picture alot of the progress we'd made before went down the toilet. The kid has zero respect for anyone who is not Bruce. "

"Don't remind me " I groaned remembering when Damian first came to the mansion a little over three years ago. That was not a pleasant time for me.

At that moment though Tenn entered the venue in civvies to blend in and not get ambushed by fans. "Oh you" Jason said in English to Tenn.

Tenn glared at Jason with such a pure venomous hatred I almost mistook him for a Damian and Jason hybrid. "I'm here to talk to my brother Wayne" Tenn hissed

"You lost that right when you left your family for a mad man" Jason said with a feral growl putting himself between me and Tenn.

I swore it was like watching a snake and a tiger battling it out for supremecy. Jason being the tiger and Tenn being the snake. Then again I knew very well that if the two ever did get into a fight that Jason would win against Tenn since Jason has experience, tact, and the strength to easily overpower Tenn with ease. It's frightening how well I know my own family.

"Alright you two if you're going to fight please go to the local boxing club down the street and brawl it out there not here" I said sternly directing that last bit at Jason 

Jason only sighed, "Whatever you say Paechick" Jason said with a good hearted laugh

"Please don't call me that" I told him as the heat rose in my cheeks.

Jason smirked before giving me one of his rare bear hugs. "You're my baby brother it's in the contract that I embarrass you at least once in front of your friends " Jason said still grinning from ear to ear.

After I managed to separate myself from him I got back to practice with the rest of Idolish 7.

Jason's p.o.v

I watched as Riku was practicing on the sidelines with his jerk twin, Tenn. "He needs to stop before he hurts himself " I heard Tenn mumble.

"Excuse me but are you talking about Riku or someone else? Cause if it's  Riku like I said before you have no right to tell him what to do since you left him for a mad man. " I growled my hands itching to grab my gun that I kept under my jacket.

Tenn glared at me. "You don't even know the first thing about Riku anymore, Tenn." I spat.

"Neither do you " Tenn glared at me.

"Really then Riku's favorite color" I challenge

"A light baby blue " Tenn confidently answered

"Nope he likes a soft sunset red" I growled," Favorite food "

"Omirice"

"Wrong Riku actually likes Roma dishes much like Dick. Favorite pastime?"

"Playing games. "

"Partially right  he loves anything doing with family whether it be cooking with Alfred, drawing with Damian, gymnastics with Dick, etc. He loves spending time with family as a pastime"

Tenn just continued to give me a challenging glare. "By the way bet you didn't know this,  but Riku right now has black belts in several different martial arts and is one hell of a marksman both with a gun and a bow." I said

"So why are you here?" Tenn growled slightly backing off.

"Scarecrow and a few other of Arkams patients broke out of Arkham and came to Japan. Scarecrow has a grudge against Riku for pummeling him while injured and gassed with his fear toxin during a gala no less. " I said before moving my jacket slightly to show him how far I was willing to go to protect Riku.

"You can't kill a man in cold blood!" Tenn hissed

"Why not Scarecrow has killed thousands of people over the years besides I'll just shoot him in the knees to stop him from chasing My  little brother. Besides  better I do it than Damian,  he'd kill Scarecrow where he stood. " I said

Tenn shuddered at that, "Now scram" I growled

"This isn't over " Tenn spat before leaving

I just glared at his retreating form. Good riddance. I continued to watch Riku and his group practice for tonight's concert. I got a call from Dick saying nothing had happened at the Starish concert. Damian then called saying the same thing had happened at the Quell concert. Where we being to cautious or was Scarecrow really aiming for Riku as payback? They arrived twenty minutes before the gates opened to the public. "Anything?" Bruce asked

"Nothing that I haven't been able to handle" I answered, "Namely Tenn Kujo his so-called twin. Seriously what's up his butt that he doesn't want Riku to have any part of the music industry"

Dick and Tim shrugged, Damian on the other hand looked murderous. "He'd better stay away from Riku. Out of all of you I'd actually be with him willingly cause I know he respects my boundaries" Damian growled

Surprising how close those two got over the years. To think it felt like only yesterday that I was trying to keep Riku from murdering Damian for calling him Nanase while Dick was keeping Damian from doing the same to Riku.  Those two really have come a long ways since then haven't they.

Dick took up a position on the opposite roof of the venue. Bruce blended into the crowd while Tim blended into the stage crew. I took Damian backstage with me knowing he'd want to see Riku before the concert started. I knocked on the door and opened it once I heard an open. "Hey what's up?" I asked

"The Gotham rouges we may have one of the most dangerous come after Riku." Tumagi the manager said who was right next to Commisioner Okinawa.

"Well as you all know Wayne enterprises has been creating antidotes for the various chemicals used by Gotham's rouges including Joker, Ivy, Bane, and Scarecrow." I said

"Yup" Riku said bringing out the Scarecrow antitoxin from his jacket pocket.

"Nice that the Gotham Paranoia never wore off." I said taking out seven more for everyone else.

"How?" Tsumagi asked

"Damian Wayne son of Bruce Wayne did you really think that our father would let any of us out of the house without something like this on us much less out of Gotham. We are a very famous family in Gotham city in case you forgot no one in our family is unprepared in cases like this." Damian said in his usual you shall grovel before me and beg for mercy tone.

Everyone imeadiatly took one and pocketed it in a place with easy access should anything happen. Another knock came, "Your on in five" an indistinct voice said

"Get to your seats and see you after the concert" Riku said

I gave him a hug which he returned, "Be safe and remember what to do should Scarecrow show up" I whispered to him.

He slightly nodded before we seperated. He gave Damian a fist bump before we left heading for our seats. "Anything?" Bruce asked

"Nope let's just hope that nothing happens" I said grimly.

"Now that I'm getting a better look at the venue this is deffinatly a location that Scarecorw would hit compared to the other venues" Dick said

True the roof and the fact the vents could be closed at anytime from the security room which Tim had covered hopefully.

Back to Riku's p.o.v.

I waited in the wings with my group for the start signal. I couldn't help but be nervous Scarecrow could attack and it would be my fault. Iori put a hand on my shoulder, "It's going to be fine" He said though he didn't sound that confident about it.

"I hope so" I said  as the crowd was plunged into darkness.

Alright Scarecrow you want me you have a little more than two hours to make your move.... Game on.
