More Than Our Purpose - Red Hood and X-23 (Book 1)

[Completed]
In the shadows of Gotham, a new threat rises-one that seeks to destroy not just Batman but everything Bruce Wayne has built. The Collective, a shadowy organization with ties to the League of Assassins, the Court of Owls, and a dark secret facility, is coming for him. But why? As Bruce delves deeper into the mystery, he's forced to confront his past mistakes, his fractured family, and the demons he's tried to bury.

When Jason Todd, the Red Hood, returns from the dead, the fractured family is torn apart even further. Resentments surface as Jason struggles with the scars left by his death, his resurrection, and the years of strained silence between him and his former mentor, Batman. Tensions come to a head when Dick Grayson, Jason's older brother, confronts Bruce with the truth: he's been pushing everyone away, believing he can carry the weight of the world on his own.

But as the family gathers to unravel the mystery of the Collective, old wounds are reopened, and truths long buried come to light. With the fate of Gotham hanging in the balance, each member of the Bat-family must confront their own demons-especially Bruce, who must face the consequences of his past actions and find a way to rebuild the shattered trust with his sons. Will the Bat-family survive this new threat, or will they be torn apart forever?

In a story of redemption, betrayal, and unbreakable bonds, the Bat-family must unite to face their greatest challenge yet. The darkness is closing in, and only together can they defeat it. But first, they'll have to heal the rift within their own hearts.

This is a Bat-family and X23 Fanfic that is separate from the other one I wrote, In Our Blood.
Book 1 in the series.
