Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, You are at part 6
It took them some time to calm down and gather.
After the stranger's outburst Bruce knocked him out so they can inspect name's dead body. It took them all their power not to shiver when name's body felt too cold.
To them the stranger was a possible threat so they tied him up on a chair while they investigate.
It didn't take long for their eyes to land on the computer...
Not to them. No. But for someone named Avery.
Each sentence felt like a knife stabbing them as they read how greatful and happy name felt with this avery.
It didn't take long for them to find a video in the files. It seemed like it was a recording of name playing a video game.
It seemed silly but... They wanted to investigate and hear name's voice because... They never admit that Oh god they don't know or remember what he sounds like.
They didn't expect anything when they clicked on it.
They didn't expect that a game. A video game. Will give them the answers they needed.
Each hour felt gruesome as they watched what named had to deal with while they play house.
Their heart felt like it was being tortured as they read each page of the book frame by frame.
Name couldn't look away putting his trust on a mini fridge hoping there's still something inside.
While they ate together with Alfred's cooking in the dining room.
It didn't take them long to realize that the other character or person in the video was... The guy tied up on the chair, their voice was identical.
If this guy is Avery, that means he might know something about the thing that...
The thing that took name's life.
The thing responsible for name's death.
Avery knows what they want to know.
He didn't know what happened
He was crying then he got knocked out.
When he woke up he was surprised that he was now tied up and away from his savior name.
He struggled with the rope as he squirm around then remembers name.
His first words were worry repeating his name as he scans his surroundings trying to find the person he cherished than the world itself...
He didn't look or answer the questions being thrown at him, he couldn't care less about them.
But unfortunately they keep asking and prying on the matter of his their 'brother's or 'son's death...
He tilt his head back and held a laughed.
How DARE they try to act like they care now.
Name has suffered all this time he himself wasn't even sure how long name lasted. Maybe days... Maybe weeks... Or even months!!!
They really want to know how much name had suffered?
Fine. He'll tell them about the videos but he won't confirm anything. That's about enough to loose their minds.
Every single video starting with his to names.
THEY SPENT HOURS WATCHING.
Eyes staring at the old monitor as each video plays.
Hours have already passed as they didn't spoke a word while trying to understand what's happening in the recording.
Duke was breathing rapidly when name enter those gates... Something tells him that it was the reason name was like this... A yellow aura surrounds it despite being censored.
And when they watched the last video it confirms his suspicion. That thing was an eldritch God.
He feels like he'll throw up right there.
A fucking God went for the only sibling he had that didn't deserve to be drag in this hell of a family.
Name from what he can remember was a quiet child.
He and name once had this relationship over books they adore, name was a good kid. A kid who asked him about literature. A kid who reads all the books he recommends. A kid that died because he couldn't cared less.
His breathe hitched as he kept his eyes on every recording. The way in the end that shows how name finalized his decision on sacrificing himself for someone who made him feel seen.
And that one line... He's certain everyone there was affected by those words.
"I just don't want to be forgotten"
He could hear glass breaking.
H-He Was a great brother!
He's definitely not crying as he sees his baby brother suffer for gods know how long.
His baby brother who had to go through this ALONE.
Why. Why didn't he noticed?! He's supposed to be a big brother, the brother that protects his family.
He felt useless knowing name was sitting in his dark room for days! Even- even weeks! Worse- months...
God he's such a disappointed.
He already lost Jason once and he didn't even protect that most vulnerable sibling he had.
He'll be there for you! He promise.
Why is he sadden by this?
Name was the lesser in the family. He didn't deserve a place in the family. He wasn't a bat. He wasn't a vigilante. He didn't even know how to fight.
So why does such emotions brew inside him when each recording is being played?
His brother outsmarted a God.
That already proves that he's smart enough to be in this family. Maybe even smarter than him.
Maybe... Name was his brains to his brawn.
Maybe they would've been a good duo...
Maybe they could've been the greatest together.
He cared far too much for his place that he let his civilian brother die.
He's unworthy to be name's brother.
He felt like a disappointment.
He was the greatest detective! But seeing those recordings he wondered how... How could he even live to his title if he couldn't protect name?
Right. The kid who had nothing before being adopted to a kid who will get nothing after he got adopted.
Name was never a talker. He didn't even try to stand out. So they forgot about him. Why didn't he help? They help people in need in Gotham but they couldn't help their own family.
God. What kind of family are they?
To leave name alone for years.
He looked behind him, the only person to look at the stranger.
Name was happier with him then with us.
Name will prefer that guy rather than us.
That couldn't happen. Name is theirs
He'll bring him back and make sure he stays here.
He knows that he wasn't the greatest father.
He knows he failed each one of his child in some ways.
He promised after Jason's death that he'll never let anyone else die.
Maybe because he was selfish.
He wanted each of of his child to be strong and safe. But in the process he led the most innocent and weak on astray, letting him defend himself with no one to cling and talk to. No one was there to be his stairs. No one was there to be his light.
So maybe that's why... His son sacrifice himself to the person he saw as his light. Someone that cared enough to come and save him.
And his son didn't even expect any of them. He didn't even call. He couldn't blame him. He himself knows that he won't be there to hear it.
This time it might be permanent as a God decided that he wanted name.
