- Titans Tower -

Raven was sipping her tea. As Tim walked in just in time for her to put down her drink. "My love, I need help." He looked down at his folder before placing them on the table in front of her.

Raven looked at the paper before looking at time. "Was this assignment you were doing before I had teleport you back to bed?" She raise a brow. As Tim nervously laugh a little as he scratched the back of his neck a little. "Yes?."

She rolled her eyes a little bit before looking through it. "You need me to go undercover?." She asked him as her voice sounded like she wasn't thrilled about it. "I'll be undercover with you, as your husband." Raven lean back against the chair with her arms crossed. "We're already married." She told him. "Ah than it won't much hard work!" He sounded cheerfully so he can give her a reason to be thrilled about this mission.

"Why not get Rose to do it?" "She's has blue hair and eye patches...she doesn't looked like wife material, no offense."

"Stephaine or Cassie? they'll looked normal than."

"You really want me to work with my exes to be my undercover wife? You do know I do have a gorgeous wife right in front of me"

"I have a gem on head, they going to noticed something strange about me"

"Than I'll glue a gem on head so they can both think we are a strange married couple."

Raven finally let out a soft sigh in defense. "Your impossible." She looked at him. And Tim? Well he had his soft gaze her like he was falling in love all over again. "And you're gorgeous." Before he sat down in front of her. "I'll promise you I'll get your favorite tea packets and hell! I'll made a while cabinet just for them." Raven knew that Tim would always a man with his words. So knowing him? He would absolutely do it. "Fine. But! I am not letting you pick out the music in the car this time." She rolled her eyes. "You and your boy band."

Sequin smile, black lipstick

Raven was nervous for her time going out to a party. The titans were invited to a party by the 'young justice.' in mount justice.

Her and Rose were getting ready but Raven felt a little more overwhelmed of the thought of seeing him.

"Great. You just broke the mirror I was using."

Rose spoke up. Causing Raven to blink and retouch with reality. "What?." She asked as she looked back at her Friend.

Rose held up the black lipstick that she and Raven were using together. And motion the now broke mirror. "You're doing it again. And at least it's not that light again." Rose spoke.

"I'm sorry...i-" Raven let's out a soft sigh before she can speak once more. "I'm just...hurt? Confused?." She looked around and back at her lap. Rose looked back at her friend and slowly got up on the floor, waking over to rae's bed and sitting in front of her. "What Tim did was such a dick move. I can't defend him." She spoke. "He chase two girls...let alone blondes while he was losing THE one." Rose looked directly at her best friend purple eyes.

A friend to all is a friend to none

Raven walked in loud music and the many lights going on at once. She luckily had a special bracelet so her power can deactivate a little so she won't cause a scene (she hope).

Walking passed Garfield and his girlfriend, Jaime and Bart drinking up and joking, Cassand Cain and Duke interacting together. Raven picks up a drink and looks around once more and knew it was a mistake to come here. Everyone pretty much begged her to come and promise to make her comfortable and have a good time. But she knew, that they can't always attend to her or needs. She didn't wanted everyone feel in a bad mood if she was in a bad mood.

She hug her cardigan a little tighter in sense she can a little comfort in something was warming her. Watching her friends and some teammates having a time of their life did made her feel out of place. It's not because she felt unwelcome by them but instead she rather do something else than just to party. As she continues to looked around while still in her head.

She spotted him.

She clear her throat a little as she notice that he saw her too. Like their whole world stopped from the moment their eyes touched.

Playing hide-and-seek

Raven headed to the private hallway that she was able to get in without a trace. Leaning her head against the wall softly in order to catch a real breath. And trying to stop mind running all over the 'What if Situation?'.

What if he actually chose me?

What if it wasn't about Cassie or Stephanie?

What if I just told about I felt for him?

What if I did kissed him back the night where we shared that bed together.?

What if he actual loved me?

Everything all at once felt her emotions going around but thankfully her bracelet was one. She felt the soft tear coming down and maybe soon she could make out a river out that single tear of emotion.

Marked me like a bloodstain,

"I knew I'll found you here."

She instantly felt him before he even spoke. "I needed a moment. You know me." She looks at him. While he gave her a small nod. "Of course. Don't worry. We can always go outside if you'll like?." She wanted to laughed but held it in. We. There was once a we...or so she thought. That word that came out of his mouth marked her like a bloodstain.

"I'm alright Tim." She knew that he knew she was lying. But Tim was smart to never push her.

"You still hate me huh?." He asked her

"I don't hate you. I just feel strange around you." She replied back.

"I never meant to make you feel uncomfortable, rae." He sounded sincere.

"Yes I was going after Cassie and Stephanie. And you were just being a good friend and a damn good one. I took advantage of you when we were on that mission. I was not in my mind when I kissed you when we were only supposed to sleep. You were my favorite person and someone who I felt safe with. And I'm sorry that I did that when my intention was supposed to be a good friend and good leader to you."

I knew I'd curse you for the longest time

Tim was surprised that Raven looked away. And my hand covering her mouth. Did he really made her uncomfortable now?

Talia was asleep peacefully in the huge bed (but rather cling onto her husband.) as she snuggle closer to the comforts of his arms. With his arms pulling her closer making those promises on their wedding day, that he'll always welcome her in his arms whenever she needs him. Morning or nights he was always available for his true love.

She slowly lifted her head up a little. Talia's hair was a little messy but didn't bother her as she soon put her head back down. Hearing her husband chuckle softly before running his fingers through her hair a little and felt those lips against her forehead before feeling the smile underneath it afterwards.

"Happy mother's Day, Talia".

Talia couldn't help but to smile as she knew this day, was all about her. "Thank you beloved." And in return she gave him a sweet kiss. She had place her left on his shoulder as the sunlight hitting softly through the curtains, causing her ring to shine beautifully making the room glow with a beautiful rainbow.

"You do know that our son's are here?" Bruce told her as he ran his finger now on her back. Talia couldn't help to raise a brow a little. "You mean...all of them?" Tim and Dick were still slowly trying to used of Talia now being 'offically' part of the batfamily. Meanwhile Jason and Damian had always accepted their mother (Talia was the closest mother that Jason had.) so she felt welcomed in their home.

"Believe it or not it was all the boys idea for making you breakfast...we hope that nothing burned down yet." Causing Talia to laughed softly as heard the boys downstairs.

As they made it downstairs they were surprised that the kitchen was not burned down but better yet clean and organized. Talia looked at the different breakfast around the table and flowers everywhere. Tim held a camera and took pictures of Talia walking in and her surprise looked.

Dick was a little hesitant on saying Happy mother's Day but he decided to pull her into a hug. Causing Bruce to be surprised. "Happy mother's Day, Talia." He mumble against her. Talia didn't wanted to make him feel bad or anything so she hugs him back as one mother should. She never made him feel like an outcast but instead like a son. No matter what that was her child that she would always defend even if he's already an older man.

Dick pull away and gave her a soft smile before Damian held up a tiny gift. "Father and I picked it out." He hands the gift to his mother. Talia smiled and gave her a son a soft kiss on his cheek. And slowly opens it, what was inside was a small emerald necklace. Since green was her favorite color. It was beautiful and elegant.

Time hasn't helped me to forget you

Bruce was walking around his city late at night. He knew he'll be fine. He's Batman for god sakes.

He had just made a huge mistake (that what's he kept telling himself that). He's married with someone else now..not with her anymore. No matter how many years passed it felt like he fell with in love again but not with Selina but...Talia. whenever he had the opportunity to see her.

I still feel the taste of your kisses on my lips

He blinks as he continued walking. This woman had save his life from death. She always save him and their sons from death. That kiss she gave him had an antidote from preventing him dying from the Scorpio poison.

She was trying to save him.

And he kissed her back.

There was a reason why was Damian existed And Jason back from the dead. And that forbidden kissed they had, remember why they loved each other so dearly.

And I don't want to continue like this

Being with her and thinking of you

Bruce grunted a little as he shook his head a little and run his hand though his hair.

"Am I still somewhere in your heart?" She asked him. "You know that answer to that question." He replied back.

Talia nodded softly as she place her head against his. Taking a moment to enjoy what they only had left. He let her warmth against his. Knowing once they thought this was forever and no one could come between them. She was the one who pulled away first as he only watch her faced the wall for a moment. Letting her have a moment to regain her control.

"You were always my passion." she said as she clearled her throat a little.

"And you were always my weakness." He didn't hesitate saying back.

Bruce knew that Talia was always his first actual love. Selina was great but she always played a game with him and Talia always wanted to save him.

How stupid, how crazy,

Being with others but loving each other

He was sitting on the bench looking up at the night sky. And then back down on his hand looking at his wedding ring. But this wedding ring was from the first marriage, the current ring was in his pocket because soon enough when he has to go back home and he'll have to put it on...but right now he still want to believe that he was still with Talia, that Talia was his current wife.

"It was hard seeing you saying your vows to a different woman Because those words of yours use to be mine." Talia admitted. Bruce feeling his heart stung when she said those. If he was going to be honest with himself. It was difficult to say I Do to Selina when Talia was there at wedding for Damian sake.

The honeymoon wasn't great for him, personally. Selina suggested to go to Paris. But Bruce immediately rejected it as he knew fully well that was only for him and her. Making love to Selina was different to him. sure, this wasn't the first time that they slept together but all he could think about Talia. They way she was say his name as it was a siren song or the way she grip softly to his hair or back. Her body was like a forbidden lust that he always crave and oh how she wore the gorgeous moonlight from Paris like lingerie.

What fools

Bruce was on the his batcomputer doing some cases work in hoping to distract himself and pray that Talia scent would already be gone by now. But then heard the someone coming down the Batcave. He didn't have to check who it was when he already knew it was Selina. She came down and went to sat on his lap. Bruce had no choice but to wrap an arm around her. He couldn't neglect her but he didn't wanted to be with her right now.

"I heard that you got poison by a Scorpio" Selina told him.

He only nods.

"How did you heal?" she asked him.

"A help from a close friend."

"Oh? And what did they d-"

"I'm going for a walk, Selina."

The Titans were all hanging out in the main room of the tower. Connor, Cassie, Rose, Bart, Gar, Tim and Raven. Garfield and Bart decided to have a 'team bonding' to used an excuse to watch their favorite with the rest of the team. Tim agreed but not because of the movie but because they do deserve to hangout with each other.

Tim's has been busy to try to take down Ra's al ghul, since Ra's told him he'd had potential to give him a heir. Which was disgusted to Tim. Because Tim knew that he was well intelligent there was no hiding it. Everybody in the batfamily believe he can be the next batman. But then he quietly shake his head and continue to focus on the movie, forgetting his teammate was a empath.

Meanwhile Raven hated the movie, it wasn't her taste in movies. But she was forced to sit with them and watched it. As she tried to to focus in the bad movie she was able to get a little distracted by Tim's thoughts. He completely forgotten that he was sitting next to her and his thoughts were loud. Usually he was good at hiding his emotions but this was something big for him. She quietly sneak a little glance at him as he looked a little exhausted but was determined to watch the movie with the rest of their teammates. Raven then looked back at the screen and she tried to at least get the concept of the movie.

As the movie ended everybody (but Raven) liked the movie and they decided to start having a movie night every once in a while. As they headed back to the own room. Tim felt something wasn't right and as he was heading to check it out. He saw that Beast boy passed out the hallway floor.

"Beast boy!" He help him up and sat him up a against the wall. He pull out his pull his Titans communicator and start notifying the others.

"We have a titan down I repeated we have a Titan down. We might have an intruder in the tower."

Connor was the second who got hurt. As he heard Tim's news. He was about to get out of his room until a figure pull out a small kryptonite and stab it on his side. Connor growled in pain as he looked up at the figure and only saw he had a red and back in their suit and with a black coat. As Connor tried to get a better looked at him but his eyes were closing and then falling on the floor hard.

"Tim this is Cassie, Connor is down. Somebody had kryptonite and stab in his side."

"Rose is down too! And the dude mess up my foot as I used my speed force on him."

Tim mind races..was this all Ra's al ghul? But then he shake his head nothing he wouldn't do this all alone. Somebody must've known them personally to able bypass the security system...but where was Raven?

Meanwhile with her, she was brushing her long hair when she heard the incident as she was about to her pick up her device. She felt an aura, a familiar aura.. she immediately used her magic but was soon felt frozen. Her hand and her body wasn't able to move no matter how hard she resisted.

"it's alright mom..I'm not going to hurt you."

Raven looked at the shadow who was at the corner of her room. "Who are you." She growled out. The figured slowly walked out of the Shadow and closer to her. He looked around his late 20s while holding his mask in his hand. He had her pale skin and her lips but shockingly he had Tim's eyes.

She felt sick to her stomach when she felt the same aura from Tim's but including her's. Raven shake her head as it was impossible her and her boss to ever thought of having a child together. But 'their child' was standing in front of her. Using his power against her.

"I have to this because I have to stop superman from killing."

Her 'son' told her. "He will kill us all if we don't stop him." He continued on. "I can't risk lots of people I love... including dad."

But then her door busted open as Tim was in his red Robin suit. He saw the figured in front of Raven and he too had magic, making him a little too dangerous. But Tim didn't cared and as he was about to take down the guy. The intruder eyes turned into red and now became four just like Raven's. whenever her dark side comes out. The guys launched onto Tim and held him against the wall.

"Get out of my way!" And immediately disappeared into the floor. Causing the room to go silent and Raven now free from his powers.

12:27 pm

Everybody was discussing what happened. But I noticed something was up with Raven. She was always quiet, yes but she knew something because the figured didn't hurted her...but instead was talking to her.

I cleared my throat and everyone was looking at me expect for her.

"Raven. A word with you..in private." I told her.

𝚁𝚘𝚘𝚏𝚝𝚘𝚙

"You know something don't you." Tim's cross his his arms as he stared right directly at me. I know his tactics I worked with him. I closed my eyes before opening them back open. Luckily I had my white hood up to cover some of my face. "He's wants to kill superman." I told him. Tim immediately dropped his arms downs to his side and march up to me.

"And you didn't say anything his before!" His anger was high. But I brushed it off "How come you're so calmed about it, Rachel!" He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. And took out his phone and knowing he was going to contact Batman to report it. "He's our son." I was able to make him froze before he press the called button.

"you're lying."

I looked right directly at her. She never once lied before this had to be fake. She still remained calmed as I, the other hand was different. "We never had sex." She rolled her eyes as she now had her arms cross. "Of course not." I growled. "He has your eyes and I felt his Aura...it was just like you." I was able to see much if the guy. But I did saw he had same powers as Raven. "But he's a killer." I pressed on. "why does 'our son' wants to kill Superman. Did he told you why? Since you're so weirdly okay with that." Raven puts her hood down and she reveals that gorgeous face of her. I tried to not focus on her beauty right now as I was still frustrated with her.

"Because in his world we are all in danger. Superman is a killer. But He told me i was a prisoner again to trigon. You die." She looked into my eyes. "He and the very little of his team are trying to prevent this happening in the future. So he came here to stop it." But immediately grab her arms. "And do you think killing is right?! Thats not us. We. Don't. Kill." "Are you not listening that we could be in danger. YOU could die. And I will be back working with my father." She continue on. I have never seen her like this before so worried. "Rachel.". I gently cup her face "I'm not letting you go with your father. You fought so much to not be like him." But she shook her head. "I can always run but never hid from him."

Talia's doctor told that had she had to be in bed rest. And she was now seven months pregnant with a baby boy. Although she's hated the idea to rest all day in the bed but she knew it was the best to keep her son safe. Talia was in her white nightgown which was the only nightgown that can hid her stomach pretty good. The poor girl let out a soft sigh as she looked up at her vines that was hanging around all over her her big room.

"You can't not go in there!"

One of her guards shouted out, it came out from the hallway. Talia was confused as I sat up a little and then

boom!

There was batman.

Talia immediately lifted up her sheets and cover her stomach. Bruce didn't looked to happy as he slammed the door behind him and locking it. Talia felt kinda frozen, she watched him stand in front of her bed staring down at her.

"Why did you do it?."

Talia stayed quiet. Bruce was now getting irritated.

"Talia, don't make me asked again."

Talia swallowed her puke, it felt disgusting. As she slowly looked up at him. "I have no idea what are you talking about." She really didn't. Bruce immediately slammed her bed cause her to flinch "DAMNIT TALIA! I'm taking about Jason!"

Oh this was bad. Talia heard the news that Jason Todd was dead, her heart immediately broke. She loved that boy as if he was her son. She knew Bruce would be extremely depressed and honestly she would too. And so she begged her father to put Jason in the Lazarus pit, after two months of convicting..her father finally agreed.

Talia was in the beginnings of her pregnancy when she revived Jason she trained him the best she could, and when Jason begged Talia not tell Bruce about him being alive. She made a swear on it. So leading back to the present, Jason must've told Bruce that he was alive.

𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝐼 𝑑𝑎𝑚𝑛 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑'𝑣𝑒 𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑙

"I.. I did it for you, beloved." Talia spoke softly. Bruce shake my head as he immediately took off his masks to see her.

"You turned him into a killer!"

Talia felt her heart stung, but she's never expected that Jason used his new power for bad, he was always a good kid. She slowly got up from the bed as she tried not waddle towards him, not wanting to give him any sign that she was pregnant and especially with his son. "Beloved...those were never my intentions, I trained him so he can defend himself better. I know that the pain you felt when Jason died. Because I felt it too." Talia was honest. She always wanted to be honest with him, but she knew she couldn't. It would be only cause him to pull her away even more.

𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠

Bruce felt into silence, he knew that Talia always cared for his boys (Dick and Jason). Even though they won't married anymore. She was a mother to them even if she was far. Bruce was a relief to have his son back but still mad at Talia for what she had created him.

"Beloved?"

Her voice broken into his thoughts. He didn't realize that she was close to him. He noticed something was different about her, her hair was a little messed. Her cheekbone was a little chubby and her eyes were tired. And with my the many candles she had in her room filling up the dark room. It looked like she was glowing beautifully. He let out a soft sigh as looked down at her bed. "Talia, you really cause me a big problem." He grip softly on her bed. Meanwhile Talia nodded gently as she looked her lover all stressed out. She wanted to hug him and told him that's he was sorry all over again. But she knew she couldn't, she had to restraint herself.

𝐵𝑢𝑡, 𝐿𝑜𝑟𝑑, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡

Bruce paced around her room thinking what do to next. Talia did not wanted to interfere with his mind. She knew that would be dangerous for her and her current state. So instead she leaned against the window starring at the candles.

"I'm not going to punished you... at least for now."

She looked back at Bruce and tried to act calm. "And what about my father?" She was about to rest her hand on her stomach but immediately realized she couldn't. "I'm going have to find him, Talia." of course he would. Talia knew she was going to have him give her father location but it was a risk that she was willing to take for now.

"He's in Tokyo."

Bruce walked back up to her, staring out at her eyes gorgeous eyes.

"is there something else you have to tell me?"

Talia shaks her head as she squeezed her hand. "No, that was all I was hiding." She looked up at him and felt his soft breath hitting against her. She felt that she was going to choked when she was going to say. "I promise, Beloved."

Bruce knew Talia was lying but didn't have the patience to deal with her. He was going to let it slide, hoping it wasn't going to be big.

𝐺𝑜𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑙, 𝐼 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝐼 𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒

Talia couldn't help but to lean her hand against his. Even though she could let her body lean against his, she could at least tried with her fingers. But Bruce immediately pull his hand away, cause to Talia to be shocked on his reaction. She looked up at him with her eyes widen.

He as never down that before, never.

She opened her mouth to asked what happened but immediately shuts it. She felt hurt from his actions, I guess now she knew what he felt like. "Talia...I'm getting married." Her entire world stopped.

𝐼 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

Bruce looked over at her candles that was next to the window. It was to painful to see her reaction, he for once felt like a coward. He watched how the wax melted and slowly becoming to nothing. He would sometimes think that was them. No matter how many times they lit the candle up. it would always be blown away. Cause the darkness to come back around them. He heard Talia whimper and he squeezes his eyes tight not bearing to see his precious beloved to cry.

"Goodbye, Talia."

"Raven are you alright?" Tim held up her upper body as he trying to hide them for cover. Raven didn't know what have happened. She was trying to mind control Psimon but it looked like he wasn't alone, there was also Gizmo and Deathstroke.They have somehow mange to separate the whole time in different places. Tim and Raven were somewhere dark and raining. She looked up at the sky trying to recognize anything. Meanwhile, Tim gently lays her on the floor as tired to communicate with his brother and the others. Raven can feel his frustration through her emotions but she didn't wanted to deal with it, due to her already headache she was having. She let out a soft sigh..at least she's not alone.

𝑌𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑑, 𝐼'𝑚 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟

Tim notice that Raven was trying to concentrate finding the others. He crossed his hands as he watches her. But then she looks back at him and shake her head a little. "I can't feel them. they must be really far from us." Tim sigh a little as he walks up to her and lifted up her hood from her suit to shield her head and face from the water hitting her. "Well then we should find shelter for now." The wind started hit him, "Can you stand, Rae?" She nods.

As they walked in the wind and rain. They both notice that there was an abandoned church, but for some reason Raven felt sick to her stomach..but it was better than nothing.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑛𝑒𝑥𝑡? 𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝑤𝑒'𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑡

As they head in, something wasn't right was this place. The candle of around the place were on lit. But there wasn't any emotions nor anyone in the place. Tim and Raven gave each a look before continue exploring around. Raven had to admit the church was quite beautiful but yet it was still strange at the same time. Tim let out a soft whistle but the whole room echoed, causing two white dove fly across the big room. Scaring Raven for a second as she held onto Tim's arm.

They took a seat on the benches in front as they rest. Tim notice that something was Raven. He knew his girl wasn't herself, "Rae is this place bother you?" He asked gently. Her head was against his shoulder as she looked up at him. "My mother joined a church one time...that how she met Trigon." Her eyes keep closed. "I just can't believe why she would do that..be a bride to a demon." Tim nods softly as he gave a kiss on top of her head as he smirk. "But I'm a husband to a half gorgeous demon." Raven couldn't help but to rolled her eyes.

She played with her wedding ring "sometimes I wished I was nobody's daughter." Tim knew what it was like to be nobody son. Since his parents die before he turned robin. But he understood what she meant. "You know if you were nobody daughter, I would have never met you." He wrap an arm around her, pulling her closer as he continue to talk. "I would never met my beautiful wife who such a badass and fights to protect the innocents including the ones she loves. And don't get me started with the magical powers that she was gifted from birth. Because she may thinks she's a demon sent from hell but everyone and including myself see's a perfect goddess sent by the heavens in disguise."

𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, 𝑠𝑜 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑢𝑝

They somehow mange to sleep with Tim laying on the church bench having Raven on top of him with his arms around her so she wouldn't fall off. As they slept together, there was a noise that woke up Raven. She opened an eye as she only saw the million candles lighten up in front of them. Slowly lifting up her head, there wasn't anything there beside the two white dove huddle together as they were sleeping. Raven couldn't help but to smile softly as she sees herself and Tim. Looking down at her husband who was still sleeping peacefully. she lifted up her hand and gently runs her soft finger against his face. she then decided to mentally talked to him.

Thank you for reminding me who truly I am. I love you.

Being "popular" was overrated. Talia had hated that she had the attention in her school. Always called the "Miss Americana."She never understood why though, she wore the same uniform as the other's girls. she prefer to stay in her dorm and read all the books, that she can grab from the huge school library. But yet she always won being the prom queen alongside with the greatest heartbreak prince. Today as she was heading in the towards her locker, there was a group a boys in their uniform. Some where playing with their stupid dice, while the other's were pass each other's their rolled up money.

𝙸'𝚖 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜

Talia notice that was a rose tape to her locker door. she rolled her eyes, this wasn't the first time. she gave a quick glance around before she took the rose out of her locker door before she threw in the trash. she got out her notebook and chemistry book before slamming her locker. In chemistry class it was a catch up day, which Talia had more time do read her book 'The Cruel Prince'. she started to highlight her favorite quotes and scenes. then there was a sound of the door class opening.

"You're late Mr. Wayne."

"I'm sorry Ms. Falcon I had an a emergency to dealt with."

Talia couldn't help to rolled her eyes as she heard his excuses. Bruce Wayne was a heartbreak prince, everybody in this campus knew about it. He was a 18 while she was a 15. Talia never gave him any interest nor will ever.

"Alright then..Take a seat next to Ms. Al Ghul.''

Talia wanted to mentally jumped out of her father private plane. But instead she let out a soft a sigh as she continue to read and highlight her book. Never even bothering to turn her head when she heard him took a seat next to her. she immediately smelled his cologne, it smelled nice if she 'wanted' to be honest.

As Talia was still reading. When she turn her next page she accidentally pushed her highlighter to the floor, she looked down and when she was about to reach out with her hand. The highlighter immediately disappear from the floor and was back on the desk. Talia eyes widen a little in surprise.

The heartbreak prince gave a gentle smiled before continuing his work.

𝚃𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎, 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎

Talia was at her favorite cafe place. She enjoyed the cloudy days and the sip of tea and sometimes coffee. Writing letters for her father and telling the things she has been doing and the place she gone to. There was a sound of child playing with the water puddle, Talia looked up and couldn't help to smile. As she gently tilt her head to admire the small beautiful boy.

Talia never grew up with a mother, she never had that love that every daughter or son wanted from a mother. But yet, she has always had an idea becoming a mother to a child one day. she craved those feeling and those tenders love. with letting out a soft sigh our she looked down at her letters and decide to now finish writing.

The smell of a similar cologne hit Talia's noise, looking up there was the heartbreak Prince sitting down a couple tables away from hers...but he wasn't alone. There was the miss Silver Cloud, rolls her eyes. but there was a faint of whimper. Talia lifted her head up a little but sure he didn't see her. Sliver had her hands slightly covered her face as Bruce looked away with distress from her with his hand underneath his chin. He spotted the same boy that Talia was admiring not too long ago. Bruce face softly a little bit as he see the kid jumping around the small puddles but then immediately replaced with his cold stare at Silver.

Talia couldn't help but to let out a soft chuckle as she shake her head slightly.

oh stupid girl, you knew what you were getting into when you starting getting with the heartbreak prince.

𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚠𝚊𝚢, "𝚂𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚊 𝚋𝚊𝚍, 𝚋𝚊𝚍 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕"

Talia stormed across the hallway, there has been many rumors that she has slept with Bane. Which was obviously a lie, she couldn't wait to head to math class and give him a huge slap for the embarrassment she was receiving. ''Hey Talia!" some boys called her out while some blow her kisses. while some girls gave her a some petty look and some were whispering to each other. But Talia was taught to keep her head high and so she did as made it to her locker. When closer her locker there was the smirking Bane leaning against the other locker beside to her. Talia felt some rage as she stared up at the smug boy.

"This false accusations between us is going to get you some serious consequences Bane."

the boy just laughs cause her blood to boil even more. Bane stare down at her with both arms crossed. "But you enjoyed riding me while screaming my name out that pretty mouth of yours." oh up she's going to get expelled today. She gave him the slap of satisfaction that she been craving since this morning. everybody was shocked of what they just witnessed, including Bane.

"You piece of Bitch!"

she watch how Bane raise his hand so fast but she dodge it. it was to easy for her. Bane let out a yelled ready to hit her back. but she felt a pair an arms around her waist and immediately spin her around. Talia let out a small gasp as she recognize the scent of the person. Looking up at her "hero" there was Bruce Wayne looking dangerously at Bane as held Talia in his arms.

"What the hell are you doing, billionaire brat." Bane yelled out.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on her." Bruce gritted out.

Talia looked around and there was everyone sounding them in a ball. some were talking videos and some were pictures. But she shook sightly as she looked back at bane. "you know what Bruce? Keep her! you two would be perfect for each other!" he yelled at them. And pushed everyone out of the way storming out of the hallways. Everybody looked back at us and decide to just now continue their own business, meanwhile Bruce still held her tight in his arms. before there was no one else in the hallway.

𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎'𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜

Talia was at the bleachers where she was drawing (soon to be the gift of drawing to her future son.) There was a group of guys practicing their football game. she didn't really paid attention to the guys, they never bother her, which she was thankful for. it was a really late afternoon but she didn't feel like being in her dorm.

After an hour of drawing she heard a guy slowly panting and took a seat on the bleachers. she felt the guy warmth hitting her. Before she was about to confronted the guy. There was the heartbreak prince himself.

"Can I asset you?"

The guy looked down at her and chuckle. "I was enjoying your piece of art that you creating." he motions the drawing. Talia nods slightly as she looked down at her drawing. "it's not that interesting." Bruce raise a brow at her. "I've never seen anyone drawing fountain with beautiful tress all in a hour." He for once, was being truthfully to someone. Talia couldn't help but to rolled her eyes as she realize that her back his against his chest with his arms around her as he held the drawing.

Talia let out a soft cough out, "I know what you are doing, Bruce Wayne." she got up. "No please, Talia." Bruce got up so fast and gently held her wrist.

"Please, Talia...you're different from others." Talia really wanted rolled her eyes. "And I know that you want to rolled your eyes at me." well shit! "But Please listen to me. I know that I have this huge reputation of breaking girls hearts. But this intention I have for you, I don't want to hurt at all, Talia Al Ghul. Everyday when I'm see you, i smell those beautiful jasmine and roses scent you wear. I now read the book you read, I see how you never give up on what you believe in and those gorgeous brain of never fails to surprise me. I want something different, you make my heart and brain different. call me in love but fuck I'm willing to run across the yard and call out your name until i have no single breath to breathe."

Held her hand and place it over his heart "it's you and me, You the miss Americana and I, the heartbreak prince."

"You're crazy, Wayne." Talia giggle softly

"Yes but crazy for you."

"it's has been two months since Raven has been kidnapped by brother blood...and she still hasn't fully healed."

"I wouldn't blame her, she's pregnant with the enemy child."

"You know...you're the only one who could help her go through this."

"Me? I thought you and her were-" "Tim it's always has been you."

"I see."

As Tim left the private room, he notice that outside was dark. Before he decided to got out on patrol just for a little while. He went straight to Raven room. "Rave..it's me Timmy." He knocks gently. He softened his voice and make sure his presence were calming. The door soon slide open and there she was...laying on the bed with all the darkness. Her body turn to the face to the window and out to the city lights. She had the best view out of the whole tower. Tim slowly came over to lay on the edge of her bed. "Hey...are sleep well?" As he gently lay hand on her ankle.

Usually everyone knew that Raven hated being touched but to everybody shocked that Tim was the only person who can carry her whenever she was injured. "I'm still having trouble sleeping to be honest." She replied as she kept her eyes closed. She started to feel uncomfortable in her own bed. She didn't know either it was the memories or the just the pregnancy. Tim thought for a second and had an idea "would you like to sleep in my bed?...it's bigger and you would have more space." Raven didn't even hesitate, she lifted herself a bit and nodded. She was very tired and could wait to used a different bed.

Tim let out a small chuckle "Come on Angel, let's get you some nice rest." He pick her up and head to his room which wasnt far from her. Raven noticed that he was in his uniform as she lay on his chest. "You're going out on patrol?" Tim hums in response. "yes but it'll be few hours."

They head into his room and he immediately lays Raven onto his bed. Raven felt completely now relaxed and her back was hurting anymore. She closed her eyes and let the smell of Tim's room absorb her. But then felt a something onto of her stomach. She open her eyes and look down. Tim's hand...were on her stomach. Tim's was her safe place, she layed her hand on top of his and said "You know...you were the only one, who made me think on having this baby." Tim looked surprised "Really?..why is that?" He asked. Raven couldn't help but to let out small laugh, she looked over to her shoulder. While Staring at a random thing that Tim had kept at the wall.

"Because you saw that there was good in me. Before the team had ever thought..you saw a sparkle in me that my mother never did. Yes my father wasn't Good man...but you never once blame me for it. You have never seen me as daughter of a devil but as a Angel." Tim knew it was true. He knew what she had been through for a long. He has always been there since they first met. He remember the woman that he has never met before, wanted to save innocent lives from her evil father. "And I know that this child will have sparks too. And I'll see her, like you see me." She let a tear run down her cheek. And Tim was there to rub it away. "You are going to be an wonderful mother Raven. I've seen the you handle child as if their were your own. And I know that you will sometimes you might be alone but your not. You'll have me and the team. Hell I'll will make a crib here if you ever need to rest." He told her cause her to laugh. "You would do that?" "I would a million things for you and this baby."

The sun has gotten brighter each day, ever since talia had chosen to stay with her heart instead of hearing her 'demons'. It was painful for her to leave the place where she had grow up and trained. But she knew it was the right thing to do. No more hurt people... especially ones who had family.

She was different from her father and her sister. Ra's and Nyssa. But she had the same dreams as her mother... To be a good mother and wife. Talia never had her mother but she did had her father. Although it was never the same affection as a mother would give to her. All of her life was training and being prepared to kill if necessary. Nyssa wasn't really in the picture but when she is. She was the greatest fighter and would most likely take Ra's Al Ghual place.

And so when Ra's told Talia that she was the one who is taking his place. She had knew that she was going to trained extra hard then she had ever expected. She wasn't able to cry, not even a single tear. That's when she knew that she had felt trapped. That is not she ever wanted. Her dreams were slowly becoming just dreams.

Talia was only 17 when she had met her beloved. Yes he was already older then her. But he looked good for his age, she would never really pay attention whenever her father would bring new recruitments. But some things about that men was different. Her father wanted her trained him privately. Talia had no problem with it...or so she thought. Bruce was trying to focus each movement whenever they practice and would quickly learn his mistakes soon after. Her father had told her that he was special, he was born and raised in Gotham and appeared to be rich. Talia could help but laugh in her head...what kind of billionaire would love to train to be an assassin?

Late at night Talia would go and sneak out to go her mother garden. Where she would always sit by a beautiful water fountain that her father had made his wife. Yes, she knew that her father was very much in her mother. She remember very little but yet meaningful memories.

So when Talia was heading over to the water fountain, she surely didn't expected Bruce to be there as well. His eyes meet her. And insisted on leaving her alone and that he would never tell her father. Talia could help but to let out a small laugh. One that she had haven't done in a while. They decided to stay together. At first it was quiet until she was the one who spoke first. She didn't why but told him everything about her. Bruce stay quiet the whole time, because he didn't wanted to interrupt her story.

She didn't mean to cry as she look down at the water and apologize immediately. But then felt a hand on her cheek making her head turn. Bruce had the other one move a strand of her hair away from her face. He gave her a gentle smile and nod his head.

"It's okay...let them out." He spoke softly and she did end up crying some more. Finally able to break down after years of holding, She was now able to set them free. While Bruce held on to her the whole time.

That night change her. He changed her. So now She and Bruce would go at night to the fountain. They would talk for hours before the sunrise. She had one time asked him if he was every in love. He stayed still for a little moment and nodded. "I met her when we were kids...she was there when my parents died that night." Talia didn't know how to respond when he asked her that same question. "Have you ever been in love?." She wanted to look at his eyes and say yes. But she was just a child still. She's has never been with someone besides him.

When Talia had turn 18. It was the hot season. She surely regrets being born in June. Talia had made a mentle note not have a child during June nor July. When she was expecting to see Bruce at the fountain in middle of the night. She couldn't help but to fan herself due the heat. "Sorry I'm little late." Bruce held a small box. Talia was a little suspicious about it. She had received gifts today but didn't expect one from him.

He sat down face to face, putting the box in middle between them as they look at each other eyes. She asked what's in the box and he gave her Smile and told her to open it up. Talia broke the eye contact first and opened the small box.

It was a ring.

She felt a small panic and looked back Bruce. He laugh and told her it was a promise ring. She knew what that meant and couldn't believe that he did had feelings for her. He was always so respectful and make sure she was never uncomfortable. She honestly didn't think that her feeling would every matter to him. But that prove her wrong. Talia could help but to fan herself once more. It felt hotter now that she had a small panic.

Bruce took notice and slowly slid his feet and then his body into the water fountain. Making Talia caught off guard. "what are you doing?!"she asked him as she held the small box up to her chest. "We're in the summer time Talia. You have to cool off." He let out his hand. Talia stare at his hand for a moment before taking it. She careful let her white nightgown into the water. Bruce notice that she had already had the ring on her ring finger. It was sparkling at the pale moonlight.

The water was cold but felt nice. She didn't left go of his hand. As she made her way to sit on his lap and laugh how both of them are getting wet from water above them. It had felt like there was rain around them. Bruce wrapped his arms around her making sure she was comfortable. She play with his now wet hair and felt butterfly in her stomach. looking down at lips and back at him.

"Can i kiss you Talia?."

She has never done this before.

"yes."

By age 20, Talia was experience a heart break. Her and Bruce were now enemy's. After two years of what felt like a honeymoon paradise. Everything was now over. Bruce had now become The Batman back in Gotham City. there was a couple of time where they have crossed paths for either business or mission. She hated that he knew her and she knew him.

She hated her father that he made her go even though he knew what have happened to them. But then again that's what she gets for choosing her father instead of her heart.

Somehow she had met the other villains in Gotham City. And in particular with one, Selina Kyle. She couldn't help but to feel jealous towards the kitty cat. Everybody knew that the bat and cat had always a thing going on. While Talia was always stuck in the shadows. She had wish she could leave this mission before it ever began.

When the league made their way in Gotham. She knew Bruce will go after them. Now matter what it takes, he wants the league out of his city. Talia was staying at her place. She wanted to feel comfortable without her dad or anyone bothering her.

The sun was already gone and the night was out. Talia was on her couch reading a book with some tea besides her. When all of a sudden the lights of her apartment went off. She didn't panicked no. But instead took a sip of her tea and placing her book to the side.

"why are you here."

Talia smile softly as she got up from the couch. "I live here." She responded back and made her way to her bedroom. She felt a hand on her arm pulling her back. "you know I mean taila." Of course she knew what he meant. "And you think hurting me will get give you information detective."

"what happened to beloved?." Of course he would asked that question. she yanked her arm back and walked away. "I think you should go back to that kitty cat of yours. She knows what's going on. You are just wasting your time here." She closed the door behind her but didn't Lock it. There was no point anyways.

Talia got into bed but didn't close her eyes but instead let a tear drop down on to her pillow. She heard the door gentle open. "I'm not wasting my time here Talia. You are the one who knows Ra's and brother blood plans are. The other's are just his puppet's." Talia didn't replay just started at the dark wall. She felt Bruce present behind her. She squeezed her eyes tight.

"Talia I know you are not a bad person. You would never wanted hurt to others especially children." Talia felt a gut Punch in her stomach as She held her pillow tight. He must to heard her whimper because he lay a hand on her shoulder. Her father and bother blood were doing something awful together causing them to do sacrifice on people especially newborns.

Talia didn't wanted to help but her father manipulate her. She felt sick for what she had become. Talia broke down, she couldn't control the tears anymore. She felt Bruce sat down on the side of the bed. And pull her up and onto his chest to let her cry on him. She held him tight and smelled his scent and remembering that was one way to put her asleep peacefully.

At 22, Talia was now a married women, she and Bruce decided to have it private with the family. Although dick wasn't fan of her. He still made a speech for them at the ceremony. Talia felt a little sad that she did not have have any relatives to witness her big day. Her father and the league were no longer a threat to Gotham City. Bruce had made sure they were far away from her. And told her that he was finally able to give her the dreams that she had always wanted. To be a wife and...soon to be a mother.

And so the sun gets brighter each day. She wake up and looks over to her heart where it belongs, her beloved. He has well trapped in his arms. But this time she knows, she safe.

At age 23..

it was late night after patrol, Bruce was looking for his wife all over their house. But then immediately realized when she was. He head out to their large garden when there was a similar fountain that he had made her. She had still looked beautiful like the day he met her. He notice that she spotted him. Bruce took a seat and saw her feet in the water and so he did the same. Talia got closer and lay her head on her beloved shoulder. Bruce notice she had put something in his lap. He looked down at it And realized it was test, a pregnancy test.

Positive.

He wasnt supposed to be here.

No.

"what are YOU doing here?" She asked him. Bruce didn't respond but instead took a seat in across from her. "Where is Damian?" She asked again. "He's with Grayson." He responds. "What are you doing here?" She asked once more. He stayed silent.

"I had to see you."

It was unclear why he had to see her. But she felt little butterflies in her stomach. "And how did you know that I was here..in Paris?" "Because when you want to getaway from your father or the League, Paris has always been our gateway place." It was true, the first time when the first went to Paris. It was love and magical for her. She had always wanted to go to Paris since she was young. She promised herself that she would her with someone special since it was the city of love after all.

So when she went with her beloved, she had felt the most happiest person alive. They took pictures, ate delicious food, he bought her a book that she kept reading every night since. Watching little children playing in the water and imagining how their own child would look like and which personality they would have. Little did they know did had their son later on. They made non stop love at night's and morning waking up in each other's arms.

"is there something wrong?

"I just been stressed and..." Bruce didn't wanted to talk about it she can tell. "Well I am going to order in a bit, why don't you have some dinner with me." She give him her menu so he can see what he wants. Bruce gave her nod and look through the menu. She noticed how tired her beloved looked and his body language show it. His leg was bouncing like he was impatient or nervous. And so she decided to lay a gentle hand on his. Making Bruce look up at her.

"take your time beloved, you are in no rush."

Goosebumps from your wild eyes

After witnessing the huge argument with Grayson, Tim decided to walk away first. The whole team had no idea what do next. But before Tim left the room he had directly looked over at Raven. Giving her a small goosebumps through out her arms. "Bro what happened?" Bart was the first to ask.

"Stupid drake almost got attacked by Deathstroke for not listening to my instructions and now he blaming me." Dick slammed his hand on to the table out of frustration. Raven could feel both of the boy anger and it started to give her small headache.

Head down to my feet

Raven head over to the kitchen and turn on the stove. She decided to make some tea. Plus didn't wanted to get involved in their business. For the meanwhile raven look down at her feet and started to wonder where was Tim at right now. She let out a soft sigh and close her eyes for a bit. Trying to ignore the other emotions all around her.

Swimming in your eyes

Raven had gotten a mug for the tea and out of the room without any problem. Now time to find that Tim... She close her eyes once more and use her magic. Just like how she did with Dick in the past. Now she was doing it with Tim this time.

Tim eyes were gorgeous, there no lie about that. And when she went into his head and looked through his eyes. To find out that he was in her room. Staring out her window view the stars. Huh..I should have known. Making her way to her room, there was a guilt feeling she felt making her way in.

It's better than pills how you put me to sleep

"Hey," she took a step closer to him. "I made you some tea." Tim looked over his shoulder and gave her a gentle smile. Before he turning over. He grabs the mug out of her hand but before he let's go of her hand, he gave a gentle kiss on on it. "Thank you." As he took a sip, feeling much more relaxed. Raven sat on her bed next to him. But Tim pulls her legs on top of his lap. Raven lays her head on his shoulder while her hand rubbing his back. She used a little bit of her magic to help out. "You know that, I love you right?" Tim whispered. She nods, of course she knew.

Calling your name, the only language I can speak

Raven grab softly his face so he could look at her. They both loved each other's eyes. Theirs were unique then everybody's else. She pull him into a kiss I love you too Timothy Jackson Drake he heard her voice in his head. She may be quiet outsider but she sure has many things to say in her head.

𝐌𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬

Talia didn't felt any guilt after killing Deathstroke, he may not have killed her Father but she was able to release some anger that she had kept inside. Talia fell to her knees in such exhaustion. She can hear her son talking to Bruce, convincing him to not lock her up. She tried to ignore his response. He doesn't lover her anymore.

He's in love with a other women.

She looked down at her hands cover in her enemy blood. She sure did put up a fight. After all, he threatening to kill her son. She would do anything to not lose a love one again.

𝐌𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫

He held his hand out for her. She looked at his face, to those eyes. That would make her feel safe in those dark nights that they held together. She hesitant at first but then decide to grab it.

He helped her get up and let her lean against him. Already feeling relax with his scent. He shouldn't but couldn't help but to wrap an arm around her. They fit perfectly together like a missing puzzle. "Are you alright?" He asked her. Talia didn't wanted to replied to his question. "Mother?" Her son was worried. Talia gave him a warm smile and gently play with his head. He's okay, he's safe.

"I'm alright Damian." She assured him. Damian couldn't help but lean against both his parents and hugged them tight. He wished that they could be like this forever. Bruce decide to let them have a moment. A moment they could have had in the past. He decided to give Talia a gentle kiss on her head. She been though enough..but she's going to hate me in the next few seconds.

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐞, 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐈'𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝

Talia turned her head when she heard heavy footsteps coming into the room. Men with big guns. Damian jumped in fear. Talia looked back at Bruce and saw his expression in way feeling guilted. She looked back the men and saw how they picked up Slade body. And one approaching her with a handcuffs out. Damian stepped in front of them with a sword.

"Stand back! You are not taking her away!" He yelled out. Talia grips Bruce tight. She knew what she has to do. "Damian..." She told him. He looked back at his mother with tears coming out. "it'll be okay darling." She completely let go of Bruce and hugged her son for the last time.

For at least for now.

She tried not show any fear, but Bruce knows her so well. She hated that. She walked in front of the men and let her hands out. She felt the metal around both of her hands. She could feel her hands shaking a bit. As they walked her out she looked back at her family. 𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝.

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐳𝐞, 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐈'𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝...

Burn every single witch alive!!

Read every single articles, the innocent's wanted Justice for the death of Batman. He was killed by someone who had magic. They didn't know who it was but wanted them ALL gone. The batfamily felt hopeless trying to save innocent's who were accused of 'witchcraft' .

Gordon lost many cops that night and he too felt 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Gotham was now worst than ever and not because the villains but the people who lived there. Many killed the joker, riddler and the falcons. Bruce wouldn't let his city fall apart. Not after he had made.

𝐇𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭.

"This shit is starting to feel like the Salem witch trials, accusing everyone is a witch and kill without any reason." Jason sat down next to Tim who he was currently looking at the monitors. "I'm afraid so..but we still have to find Bruce's killer." He haven't gave up for answers.

Jason sighs, he and Bruce didn't have such a good relationship with the old man but he did cared for him. "Has Dick found anything yet?" Tim shake his head and turn to face Jason. "No..but Barbara knows that a lot of people are sure accusing Ivy for it." Ivy has been isolation in a secret base that batfamily had made in case of an emergency.

"I'm surprised that they didn't accused her first, in the beginning... Hell I would." Tim gave him a look. Jason shrugs "what? you wouldn't too?." "Bruce was found with black magic, not with vines." Tim decided not to pick an argument. "I'm going on patrol..keep an eye out." He gets up from the chair and puts on his mask before heading out. "Careful out there!" Jason called out.

Tim was on top of an old warehouse that the penguin used to run. Now it's all empty. And he too was gone. So far Tim had saved several civilians from being burning alive. Now everything was peaceful beside the dogs howling and cats going though dumpster, it felt like a ghost town where he was at. Tim needed to relax, to breathe again. Now since Dick was in charge of anything, to be the new leader and Bruce's Enterprise.

Tim was so distracted in his own head that he hasn't noticed the black sparks coming out the old warehouse next store. Until there was a loud noise of glass shattering. He looked up and saw a girl with a grey jacket.

Her hands were shaking with black light.

"HEY!"

He called out. But when the girl saw him. And began to run. Tim got his grapple hook and head over to the next building. "STOP!" He shouted. But the girl didn't even cared and jump to an other roof.

𝑆ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑠𝑡, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑝 𝑚𝑒.

He pulls out his battranger and throws it at her. The girl trips and before she could get up. Tim's grabs her. "I'M SORRY, I DIDNT MEAN TO." She cries out.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛?

Tim had the girl around his arms as she tried to kick back and scream but ending up landing on his lap. Tim didn't fought back but instead held her tight, letting her lose her energy. The girl did eventually started to feel drain and started slowly to pass out, letting her head on his shoulder.

He moved some hair away from her face and saw her tears coming out. He felt bad for her but had never seen somebody this afraid seeing him. Tim decided to not let the others knows just yet. He pick her up in a bridel style and headed to one of his safe house. Raven woke up and her head was pounding a little. She groaned and held her head, laying back to the pillows. But then got up immediately realizing this wasn't her place.

"Oh good, you're up." She wasn't alone.

She didn't remember what exactly happened but looking over to a guy who has black hair with blue eyes with a suit. She was with THE Red Robin. She could feel the room shaking. But didn't mean to. She couldn't control her powers.

"Hey.." Tim grab her hand and felt her world stopped shaking.

𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑖𝑑 ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡?

Tim sat down in front of her. "I'm not going to hurt you.." he whispered. Tim had 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 show his secret identity to anyone. But he wanted her to trust him.

"I...I mean do to it" she told him. Tim didn't understand what had she meant.

"didn't mean to?... "

"To kill him...it's all my fault."

Tim didn't wanted to react or at least in front of her. He just nods and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. If everybody found out that SHE was the one that kill the dark knight. They wouldn't show her any mercy and burn her alive.

.....𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑇𝑖𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘....

"what's your name?" he could look her up on his computer and hopefully find anything on her. The girl hesitate at first, "My name is.. Rachel, Rachel Roth." She looked into his eyes, they were so calming for some reason. Why did she felt trust in him?

Tim notice her eyes were purple, rare then normal. And her skin looked like she was glowing...she was gorgeous to be a witch. "Urgh..I have some tea ready if you would like some, to calm you down." He rubs his neck and forgetting that on hand is on her.

"Yeah..tea sounds nice."

Raven watches how Tim let's go of her hand while he got up and grab two mugs with tea and walked back over to handle it to her. She mumble a thanks and took a sip of the tea. her mind felt much more relaxed.

Tim wanted Rachel to take her time, he knew that she's been through a lot. And wouldn't wanted to scare her. Athough Rachel did looked around his age. "How are you feeling?"

"Better."

She assured him with a small smile but her eyes didn't match it. Raven then decided to talk what happened that night with the Bat.

"I was just kidnapped by some person..they took me to a abandoned church. They knew that I wasn't normal, started to enchanter these words that weren't some language that I knew..." She took a breath before to continue

"I felt someone possess over my body, there were a lot of screaming, blood, and dead bodies all around me... including 𝒉𝒊𝒔. He try to save me and I kill him! all I did was run, run as fast I can...It's all my fault that everyone is seeking revenge for his death. Killing each other, thinking it was them."

Tim didn't wanted blame her. But she was responsible for Bruce death. And for not coming forward in the beginning. Tim had to really think about what next.

"Rachel I'm going to need you to stay here in order to protect you. But you have to tell me... are there more like you?" Rachel shakes her head "No, I've mostly been alone...but I'm trying to control my powers."

Rachel let out a small yawn and tried to cover it up. But Tim thought it was adorable, "You're tired..just sleep here." He assured her. But Rachel refused. "No..it's you bed I can sleep on the floor." She was about to get up from the bed.

"Rachel you don't deserve to sleep on the floor. Not after what you had been though."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I got work to do".

He gets her mug and puts it's back to the kitchen sink. Rachel lays down on the bed but doesn't closes her eyes yet. She looked up at the ceiling. "Sleep Rae." Rachel got up and look over at him who was currently sitting in a desk chair.

"I'm sorry but to asked, what do I to call you? Like red? Robin Or something."

she was actually curious in what to call him.

"Well the name Red is taken. But my name is Tim Drake."

"Well Thank you Tim..for saving me. I promise I would do anything to help to the stop this mess I've created."
