The Red String

Broken 2

*Flashback*

"...Mister L, c-can I play with the other kids?" A3m said looking through a screen at the cameras in the Metropolis park

"Do you want me to explain again why  you cant?" Again the deep voice of a male said

"..." He looks at the cameras spotting the kids running around or kicking a ball

"You didn't answer me A3m" 

"S-Sorry...I won't ask again..." he sat down moving the chains that made him feel uncomfortable and weak, he tries to get comfortable as he looks at the camera of his cell now

"What?" the voice said through a speaker

"...I will figure out a way to get out of here" He said in a soft voice

"You are a Monster, no one will take care and love you as I do, don't be childish and act like a grown-up," The man said with a somehow upset voice

A3m sighed as he looks back at the cameras spotting a figure hidden at a tree, a black one that somehow made him feel hope

"D-Da-" The camera was turned off and he kept quiet being afraid of what he was going to say might have upset his watcher but the room kept quiet...very quiet and lonely, something A3m always hated, loneliness.

"A good punishment for an experiment like you" The man scoffed

*Actual time Midnight, Gotham city*

"Bruce? What's wrong?"

Narrator's POV:

Bruce took his eyes away from the paper and looked directly up at the Kryptonian; they were completely cold and full of doubts about what he was going to say about the results

"Clark...I have the results"

"...Is it that bad?..." He asked concerned landing in front of Bruce

"I don't know..." He said handing the papers to the man of steel

Superman took the papers and read them, he analyzed it an looked back at Batman just to find him sitting down at his computer holding his head and apparently thinking or planning something

"He...he has Kryptonian and human blood...along with your powers and apparently your weakness too..." Bruce said quietly

"H-He is-" 

"Our son"

Adam's POV:

I got curious when Superman left, I tried to go after but Alfred stopped me in a polite way telling me there were discussing "adult" matters and well I don't want problems so I will obey and I will follow Alfred around, being around him is always fun and makes me feel safe, he is too nice to me.

After some minutes of wandering around with Alfred and cleaning the Batcave, we heard a  motorcycle park near the entrance, I got startled since I had never seen the person that got off the red motorcycle, I mean it's fair I've only been around here for a month now and I really don't like talking to new people or Batman and Alfred didn't talk about the outside much, I quickly hid behind Alfred and peeked from a side of his right shoulder, that guy looks scary, he is wearing a red helmet and he is very tall, I think its almost Superman's height.

"W-Who is he M-Mister Alfred-?" 

"Oh. He is Master Jason, Do not fear child he means no harm this is his home too" 

"T-Then why he hasn't been around for a month? o-or Batman mentioning him at least once?"

"Master Jason likes to be out and do his own patrols around the city and well he and Batman try to never speak of others so don't take him as a stranger and try to talk to him" 

I got very nervous I had never spoken to other people that isn't Alfred, Batman or Superman- how do I do this? Just relax and try to be friendly! I might wait until he notices me or maybe after he finishes doing his own things.

Narrator's POV:

Jason got rid of his helmet and sighed looking around for Alfred or Bruce only being able to find something that really caught his eyes, his gaze could be felt almost like knives at Adam's back as he tried to sneak out to his "room" upstairs  but froze at the strong look

"Alfred...what the fuck, did Bruce decided to keep another kid? Does he need a new Robin?" He says almost triggered 

"Master Jason please...Bruce found Young Adam here in an explosion scene" 

"Hmph, kid believe me if you want to live, get away from that Bat freak and his missions"

"E-Ehm- thanks, Sir?" 

"Just call me Jason and stop shaking around you look like the tail of a cascabel snake" 

Jason said in his typical sassy tone before heading up to the mansion to get to his room, Adam was left confused at this new personality that seemed mean but also kind of mature? He wasn't absolutely sure but he was surely curious.  Alfred noted the curiosity in the teen's eyes and thought for a minute before shaking his head and sighing.

"Master Adam what about we got upstairs to make dinner and some cookies?" 

"Really? B-But Batman said I-"

"He won't notice... let's go, shall we? I will teach you how to bake and let you try some new things" 

Adam gasped excited and nodded quickly moving in front of the door of the elevator grabbing a hoodie he got from Alfred and placed it on feeling a bit cold since outside the cave it was raining, the butler smiled at the young man looking so happy just for going upstairs, he hoped that Bruce would soon take him out to explore the world, after all, he didn't seem like a badly behaved child so this would be a good opportunity for his master to spend some time with the new member of the family.
