Give Her Back

Chapter 15

Alfred was in the kitchen preparing dinner when Ian walked in. Alfred turned around with a glass vase in his hands when he saw Ian. The vase decided to commit suicide and land hard on the ground. The glass shattered everywhere and the entire manor went silent.

Every single person ran to the kitchen to see what was happening. And they were right on time too.

"I-Ian? Is it really you"? Stuttered Alfred.

" Yes dear brother".

Then Jason just had to ruin the moment.

"Woah woah woah woah. Hold up. First of all, Alfred. Who is this guy? Why does he also look old like you? Why did he call you his brother? And why am I ruining this amazing brotherly moment" ! Jason stepped away when he realized what he said and looked at the interaction the two old men were having.

"Sir Kindroughl? Alfred's your brother"?!

" Yes lady Mari ". He smiled and ruffled her hair.

" wait a minute. Who the hell is THAT"! Screamed Jason once again.

"No need to know. I'm very long gone and forgotten anyways". She left the scene and Jason just looked at the girl go upstairs. He turned to face his brothers and none of them looked like they knew anything. So they all turned to Bruce.

" Bruce? Who is she? Did you adopt another one or something"? Asked Dick.

"No. I didn't. She's, my other blood daughter. And, I'm actually surprised Dick. How do you, not remember her"?

" I don't even know who she is"?

"Well then you better remember fast or you'll crush her heart. Not that I already did enough damage". Bruce walked away and left his sons on their own.

" hey Dami, do you know that girl by any chance"?

"I do. Her name is Marinette. Though, I don't know her last name or anything else. She moved here a while ago, but her accent. It's like ours. So she must of been from Gotham, left, and then returned. Though I'm not sure".

" I don't know either. But, I have to go ask. Though I do hope to not hurt her like Bruce". Dick left and tried to find Marinette. But, it wasn't very easy. He looked through many halls and opened many doors. Until he was walking through a certain hall he saw a lot of shattered glass and picture frames.

He walked closer and saw an opened door. He looked at the glass in front and picked up a frame that didn't seem too, broken. And it revealed a picture of his younger self holding a little girl who was holding a puppy. And then he remembered.

" Nettie "?

" Yes"? She replied.

Dick took this as his cue to enter her bedroom and take a good look at her.

"You forgot about me. You all did. I wasn't even a memory anymore. I was just turned into nothing. Everyone of your living souls forgot about me. And, you can't say you didn't. I remember my first encounter with you a while ago. I was just a stranger in your eyes. And, father, he promised me he'd never forget me. We even swore on Jason's life! But when I saw Jason die, I knew it was over". She looked out her window.

" After that, many things happened. My life completely changed. After his death, was the arrival of another girl. She entered my life but was set to destroy it. And it was working well. Until I had to escape. She did something awful. She killed all the people I loved with just one, small device. And that was the end of that. I returned here only to escape from the people that'll tie me up to a chair the moment I'd set foot back home. And if they do find me, I'm good as gone. My life would take a miserable twist and I wouldn't be happy. Unless, I turn eighteen, get married, and have children would I be happy and just rule with my husband ".
