The Inheritance: Part 1

They had an agreement that for Jason's sake, she'd keep her distance. But when he dies a few weeks short of his sixteenth birthday, it becomes her biggest regret. So, what if he'd had a crush on her? If only she'd been there, maybe things wouldn't have ended so tragically.

She shouldn't have ever set foot in Gotham again, but Bruce was going down a dark path, and they both needed Joker to pay for what he did. The clown remains elusive, and she can't deny that Bruce's violence is rubbing off on her. When they finally catch him, things don't end well for any of them, and she's driven further than Bludhaven in search of herself.

It starts as a cover, a cathartic act to help her work through her emotions, but her pain runs deeper, and the only relief she finds is in another young mercenary, who has almost as much as her to hide, and a similar taste in red.
