After a fire that causes the death of fifteen year old Emily and nine year old Benny's parents, Emily doesn't know what to think of Batman because he let her father die. They runaway from Batman and Robin and learn to fend for themselves while hating the Batman for the wrong reason. Read to see if Emily and Benny learn what really happened the night of the fire. (I'm bad at descriptions, sorry)

Deathstroke didn't have to. He really didn't have to. Finding a small black haired and blue eyed boy on the grimy streets of Gotham was never part of the plan. Taking him wasn't either. Raising him was out of the question. But here he was, Deathstroke the Terminator, raising a wisecracking apprentice who could simultaneously make the mercenary proud and get on his every nerve. Deathstroke trained the boy, trained him well. But something made him hesitate, something like fear. Deathstroke would never admit it, never out loud anyway, but in all his years of killing and living up to his name... he didn't want to lose that boy. Overprotective was never in Deathstrokes vocabulary, but this boy was different, he could work wonders. Disclaimer; I own nothing but the plot Reverse Batfam AU Renegade AU Court of Owls AU NOT SLADIN Also warning for violence, abuse, panic attacks in some chapters, increasing severity of angst as book continues, and a few mentions of rape and suicidal thoughts.
