“I offer you everything I am, I will forsake my father, I will live with you wherever you say, under any conditions you choose...”
So, I know this is not a quote, but I love here and can’t miss her week, so this is a little AU I did from one of my favorites quotes
-I offer you everything I am, I will forsake my father, I will live with you wherever you say, under any conditions you choose...
Talia's voice was weak; she had gone through too much to reach that moment, a moment of vulnerability where she offered everything to her beloved.
The answer of course did not surprise her, but neither did it prevent a silent tear from falling from his face.
-Because I could not forget that you are his daughter and ... I would have to stop being who I am.
Then there was silence, both were silent for what seemed an eternity until Bruce spoke again.
-But I want to try to be happy
The woman smiled without saying anything, getting up with difficulty from the hospital bed despite Bruce had turned around to prevent her from making that effort, she did not care, right now what she most wanted was to hug him, to wrap his arms around him, the man that she was in love.
-As I promised, I will forget my father, my legacy, to be with you ... but first I must communicate it ... and no, you will not go with me.
She told him before Bruce could even try to reply, in fact, she ordered him to leave the room, there would be time to talk later.
A week later, Talia was in Nanda Parbat in the meditation room, with several burning incense that gave a particular scent to the room, where her father had come in having been called by her.
- Now you summon me, my daughter?
Ra's Al'Ghul asked with the characteristic arrogance that he used to carry; with a smile of what could be called parental love was drawn on his face.
-I do not see it like a bad thing father; after all, it is my right as a daughter of the demon, right?
She joked before getting up and cleaning her clothes, as she had been in the lotus position meditating on what had happened in recent weeks.
- The detective believed you? That you will give up to me and your family to be with him?
Talia nodded as she went to a little table in the corner, serving two glasses, one with water and the other with a whiskey distilled especially for British royalty, which of course was hardly worthy for Ra's according to him.
-Not even the best detective can see through the deceptions of a cunning woman, father.
Ra's took the glass that Talia offered him with some curiosity, observing how she had served water instead of the same liquid she offered him.
-Then it is true. Do you expect a child from him?
The woman nodded silently before clinking her glass with her father's, who had smiled with satisfaction, seemed ecstatic.
-At the end a worthy heir, with our genes and those of the detective will undoubtedly be someone exceptional, able to carry our legacy even beyond what we had imagined, you have done a good job Talia, I am proud.
Those words had been like daggers to the woman, not because of the fact that in all he was congratulating her for the simple reason of being able to carry a child in her womb, if not for what was about to happen.
-Yes, he will have an exceptional life...
She whispered in a low voice drinking his glass like his father did, who in a fit of joy made the cup aside and hugged his daughter tightly, who had barely raised her arms to respond.
Ra's did not have time to react; Talia had pierced his neck with a dagger that had hidden in the sleeve of his clothes, holding the body of his father with his free hand so that he was slowly deposited on the ground while holding the weapon with the other.
Ra's late reaction was not coincidence, it was not the fault of the drink as he was probably assuming, that was just something that would prevent him from feeling pain... What slowed down his movements was the incense that was in the room, which surely was at the same time what caused such "happiness" and allow him showing those emotions of affection.
-I am sorry, I am truly sorry…
Tears ran down the woman's face, as she put one hand stained with blood to her father's mouth so she could not scream while with the other he covered her nose, which would help it all end faster.
-You are the man who I most appreciate father, who I love the most ... but Bruce, he is what I need; he is the one who will truly make me happy...
She closed his eyes for a moment, only for a moment, she could not see that, but she owed it to her father.
-While you are alive, my son will be unable to have a quiet life; his father neither ... and I promised to leave you behind, this is the only way...
She could feel how his father breathing was slowing down, to the point of stopping ... but she knew him well, he knew that everything could be a trap and then continued, kept that position for five more minutes, drowning her dead father until be completely sure that it was not a trap, that he was not pretending.
-I am sorry, father, I sorry…
Finally, she moved her hands away from Ra's inert body, watching him for a few seconds lying there on the floor until finally surrounding him with her arms and begin to cry without consolation.
-He deserves to be happy...
She whispered between sobs as she thought about his unborn child, it was the only thing that mattered.
