You hummed softly as you brushed your hair in front of your vanity, setting the brush down once you were satisfied. For a long moment, you stared at your reflection, smoothing down the imaginary out of place hairs before skipping over to your wardrobe. A smile tugged at your lips, so wide your cheeks were beginning to ache. Caleb had called a few hours earlier to tell you he had planned a date for the two of you. Since then, youโd been tearing through your walk-in closet, trying on outfit after outfit. โToo simpleโฆ too flashyโฆ trying too hard,โ you muttered, sighing as you peeled off yet another dress and tossed it onto the growing pile of clothes littering the floor. In the middle of your fashion crisis, Alfred stepped into the room and took in the disaster. โMiss (Name), may I ask why your clothes are all over the floor?โ You whipped around, clutching two dresses to your chest. โAlfred, which dress looks better?โ
You turned around and held up two dresses for him to see. Alfred sighed softly before a small smile appeared on his face. You lifted the first one. โMiss, you look beautiful in everything.โ โAlfred, not nowโwhich one?โ you whined before holding up the second dress instead. โAre you trying to impress someone?โ โNoโฆโ You answered a little too quickly. He raised an eyebrow at you. โHeโs just a friend,โ you quickly deflected. After the last incident, Alfred had practically drilled you for the name of the person who left the โparting giftโ on your neck, but eventually dropped it because of your stubborn and secretive nature like father like daughter. You didnโt want Alfred knowing you were going out with a boy. Honestly, you didnโt want anyone in your family to know. It wasnโt that you were embarrassed by Caleb. You just didnโt want people questioning your relationship, especially with how popular he was compared to you. โThat (Outfit) looks beautiful,โ Alfred finally said. You smiled brightly and turned toward the floor-length mirror, admiring your reflection. โIโm assuming youโll be out late?โ he asked. โUh- yeah. Iโll be home before midnight.โ โI believe you meant 9 PM sharp.โ โNo? I saidโโ โIf there is nothing else, Miss, I will be in the kitchen.โ You rolled your eyes lightheartedly as he calmly walked out of the room.
After changing into your outfit, you applied a layer of lipstick/lip gloss and grabbed your purse. Just as you reached the door, you paused and turned back toward your vanity, opening your jewelry box. Your eyes lingered on the pearl necklace inside as you debated whether to wear it. After a moment of thought, you sighed softly and clasped it around your neck. Carefully making your way down the stairs in your heels, you headed toward the front door, only to stop when you saw Jason walking in. He looked you up and down, a frown settling on his face. โWhereโre you going?โ You stared at him wide-eyed, caught off guard by the fact that he was even talking to you. โWhat?โ โIโm asking where youโre going this late.โ You sighed in annoyance and walked past him toward the door. โDoes it matter?โ you muttered bitterly. โ(Name), Can you stop being a fucking brat for one second?!โ Jason snapped, his glare hardening as he grabbed your wrist tightly. Your face scrunched up in pain. โLet go! Whatโs wrong with you?!โ
He snapped out of his trance and immediately let go of you, guilt flashing across his face. His heart dropped into his stomach the moment he saw the venomous glare in your eyes. โI-I didnโt mean toโฆโ Before he could finish explaining, you hurried out the front door. โFuck,โ he muttered under his breath. โJason? Why are you just standing there?โ Tim asked as he walked into the room. Jason rubbed a hand over his face. โNothingโฆ actually, do you know where Bruce is?โ
Bruce stared at the large screen in front of him in the dreary Batcave, the harsh glow from the screen casting shadows across his tired face. His eyes stayed fixed on the photos from this weekโs crime scenes as he sighed in exhaustion. The patterns frustrated him to no end, whoever was behind this had managed to slip away the limited amount of evidence didnโt help either, leaving almost nothing behind, and the inability to predict their next move was slowly driving him insane. Barbara wasnโt doing much better either. She hadnโt slept properly in days, endlessly clicking through files and footage while trying to piece together the breadcrumbs left behind. Suddenly, she paused, narrowing her eyes. โHey, Bruceโฆ you might want to see this.โ She pulled up footage of you on the massive screen. Bruceโs expression twisted in confusion before hardening. โWhat are you trying to say, Barbara?โ โBefore you misunderstand,โ she started carefully, โIโm saying maybe (Name) saw someone. From what weโve gathered, three days ago the body was alreadyโโ
Jason stormed into the cave with Tim trailing behind him, confused and trying to calm him down. He slammed his fist onto the desk in front of Bruce. โI donโt have time for this, Jason,โ Bruce said coldly without looking up. โWhatever the problem is, it can wait.โ โI didnโt know (Name) was considered a problem now,โ Jason shot back sarcastically. Bruceโs eyes snapped toward him sharply. โWhat now?โ โCanโt you see whatโs been happening? Sheโs been running around late at night with some boy!โ he shouted. Tim stared at him like he had grown two heads. โDid you hit your head? Thereโs no way someoneโs actually willing to be her boyfriend. Sheโs gloomy all the time, and the way she smiles is sometimes kind of creepyโโ His laugh was abruptly cut off when Jason grabbed him by the collar of his hoodie. โFinish that sentence. I dare you.โ Barbara quickly stepped in before things escalated further. โLook, Jason, (Name) is at the age where sheโs going to start dating and meet other boys,โ she said, โbut I have to agree with Tim. Thereโs no way sheโs secretly dating someone, or Damian wouldโve mentioned it by now or one of us wouldโve seen it by now.โ
โI can confirm master Jasonโs words, master Barbra.โ
Alfred entered the cave with Damian beside him. โWhatโs going on here, Father?โ Bruce sighed tiredly. โItโs nothingโโ โOf course youโd say that,โ Jason snapped. โYou never gave two shits about (Name) before, did you?โ Bruceโs expression darkened. โI am not having this conversation with you.โ Jason let out a bitter laugh. โFor all we know, that guy could be dangerous or using her.โ Damian raised an eyebrow slightly. โIs this about the new transfer student?โ โYou know who Jasonโs talking about?โ Tim asked. Damian crossed his arms. โThe new student has been suspiciously keeping an eye on (Name).โ Bruceโs eyes narrowed instantly. โDefine suspiciously.โ Damian tilted his head slightly.
"C-Caleb," you moaned against his mouth, your back against the brick wall. Caleb had left purple bruises on your shoulder and neck. His hand reached up and gently tilted your chin, bringing your face toward his. "God, you're so beautiful," he whispered calmly, gradually closing the distance between you two. His arm wrapped around your waist, while the other hiked up to his upper thigh. He pulled you closer to deepen the kiss, slipping his tongue in. You tapped his shoulder, begging for some breathing room, which he reluctantly granted. He stared at your face, lipstick/lip gloss smudged across your delicate lips and a little on your cheeks, your hair disheveled, as were your clothes. You were almost terrified someone would identify you in such a scandalous predicament last thing you needed was to be on the headline of every new article and broadcast. Unfortunately Caleb couldn't care less whether anyone saw you; he could always get rid of them if it worried you so much, but right now his gaze was fixed solely on you. He thanked every being in the universe for sending the most ethereal women into his twisted, filthy hands.
You looked away shyly, but your gaze slowly drifted toward the back door of the restaurant, where the waitress had disappeared only moments ago. Your mood instantly soured as memories flashed through your mind of her shameless flirting with Caleb while acting like you didnโt even exist. The thought alone made your stomach twist. Part of you wanted to follow her outside into the alleyway, with the steak knife she had handed you earlier for your meal. You imagined stepping quietly behind her before driving the blade into her heart with her blood squirting out and covering your face and dress, imagining the horror on her face and the pain in her eyes before the light disappeared from them completely, sinking into darkness. But heโd stopped you before you could act on your impulse. Last thing he needed was for his date to be ruined by someone dying here, especially their server, youโd be the first to be questioned afterward, it was obvious you didnโt handle pressure well when your emotions took over. You tore your eyes away from the door. โCaleb, itโs getting lateโฆ Alfred will be mad if Iโm any later,โ you murmured, remembering Alfredโs strict curfew. โNow?โ Caleb asked, giving you a pathetic puppy-eyed look. You glanced at him apologetically. With a soft sigh, he finally loosened his hold and gently set you down before carefully fixing your hair, his thumb brushing over your lips.
You huffed out a breath and wiped the ruined lipstick/lip gloss from your lips with the back of your hand before trying to fixing your hair. Your glare lingered on the empty space as you zoned out, thoughts spiraling in your head. Caleb watched you carefully from the corner of his eye. โAre you jealous?โ he teased. You blinked twice. โMe? Jealous?โโYou know, itโs okay if you are,โ he teased softly, a small grin pulling at his lips. โNot that you have anything to worry about anyway. Youโre the only person I look at like that.โ Your frown deepened. โIm not jealous!โ you snapped loudly. Caleb stepped back slightly, clearly caught off guard by your sudden outburst. โA-alrightโฆโ he tried to comfort you. Your chest heaved with every sharp breath, โDonโt patronize me! Not everything is about you!โ The words spilled out from your mouth in one rushed breath. Caleb tried to calm you down, but you werenโt having it. โIโm going home first. Donโt you dare follow me.โ He stood frozen in the alleyway, half shocked and half confused as he watched you storm off. Once you disappeared, he buried his face in his hand and let out a loud groan why did he even open his mouth.
You walked through the city on foot, not even bothering to call an Uber or wait for a bus. Calebโs words kept replaying in your head, refusing to leave you alone. Are you jealous? Pfft. Was he out of his mind?! ofcourseyouโretotallynotjealous! You bit the inside of your cheek raw as you aimlessly wandered down the sidewalk, your handbag loosely hanging from your shoulder while your other hand carried your heels. Crowds of people brushed past you, hurrying toward their next destination, some sparing you brief glances before continuing on with their lives. After what felt like forever, you finally reached the manor. Over two and a half hours later than you were supposed to be home, you cursed Caleb inwardly for taking you somewhere so far from home. You dragged yourself through the massive front doors, the soles of your feet aching as your toes curled slightly against the soft carpet after hours of walking on harsh concrete. Slowly, you made your way toward the grand staircase, only to freeze when you noticed your father standing at the top.
He took in your slightly disheveled appearance, his gaze lingering on your smudged makeup and the heels dangling from your hand. โDo you understand how late it is right now?โ โโฆโ โGo to your room.โ You rolled your eyes and muttered something under your breath as you walked past him. Once you reached your room, you tossed your heels onto the floor and stumbled toward your vanity, collapsing onto the cushioned stool with your head buried in your arms. A knock sounded against your door, but you stayed silent. Another knock followed before you heard a muffled, โIโm coming in!โ Through the mirror, you watched Dick step into your room. You groaned quietly, inwardly rolling your eyes at the sight of him. โDo you need anything?โ you sneered, already irritated from the night. Dick awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, clearly unsure of how to talk to you. After your mother died, he slowly distanced himself from you, throwing himself into being a vigilante at night and a police officer in Blรผdhaven during the day. Everything between the two of you changed after that your once tight knitted bond shattered although he likes to think differ. After all, she had been like a second mother to him, too. Catching your glare through the vanity mirror, he awkwardly coughed into his fist.
โHeyโฆ you okay?โ โโฆโ Your eyes followed him as he sat down on your bed, staring at your disheveled figure with concern. โYou really shouldnโt be outside right nowโฆ You know, with the new murderer going around.โ Your heartbeat quickened for a split second, and you instinctively looked at Dick through the vanity mirror, only to quickly look away the moment your eyes met his. But your expression softened as your thoughts drifted back to the fight with Caleb. Guilt twisted in your chest. You knew he had only been trying to protect you, yet you threw a tantrum instead. He was right. You were jealous. You hated when other girls flirted with him at school, hated that you couldnโt openly call him yours, hated the lingering fear that one day he might slip from your grasp and into someone elseโs. โIโm fineโฆโ You muttered quietly. โ(Name), Iโve known you since the day you were born. I donโt wanna watch you end up likeโฆโ His voice trailed off. You let out a slow sigh, knowing exactly who he meant, but stayed silent. The room slowly fell into an uncomfortable silence, neither of you knowing how to continue the conversation.
A faint knock echoed against your door. โWe need to talk. Now.โ You already knew who it was and gave a small nod. Dick got up from your bed and stepped closer to Bruce, trying to mediate the situation. โBruce, give her a break.โ โShe can speak for herself.โ Heat crawled across your skin as your palms grew sweaty. โWhy did you go out without informing me, (Name)?โ โI told Alfredโฆโ โAnd it seems he trusted you too much.โ You blinked back your tears rapidly, desperately trying to stop them from falling. โI-I didnโt mean to come home so lateโฆ I justโฆ walked home andโโ โYou walked home?!โ Dick interrupted, staring at you in disbelief, while Bruce somehow looked even angrier, his expression turning cold. Realizing you had only made things worse, you immediately went quiet. โDo you understand how dangerous it is for you to walk home alone?โ โ...โย โAnswer me when I'm talking to you.โ โโฆYes.โ โThen why did you do it?โ Silence filled the room because even you didnโt have an answer. โAs much as I want to defend you, (Name), Bruce is right,โ Dick said quietly. You bit down harshly on your lip, trying to suppress the sob threatening to escape. โAnother student was found dead while you were outsideโโ
โthey found Lizzy? but how...I thought Caleb got rid of herโ
You whimpered softly, struggling to find your voice before finally breaking down into tears. โโThat couldโve been you!โ Bruce snapped. โFrom now on, youโre being homeschooled.โ โY-You canโt do that! Then I wonโt be able to see him!โ you cried out desperately. Bruce sighed in disappointment at your words he didnโt believe Jason or Damian but to hear it from you made it worse were you really going to throw your life away just to go on a date with some guy? With your high status youโd be the first person to taken as a hostage or get killed. He couldnโt wrap his head around the fact you had made such a reckless decision, you were never like this before where is this behavior coming from? Did the boy corrupt your innocent mindโ โYOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME BEFORE!โ Dick visibly flinched at your words. Deep down, he knew there was some truth behind them, but hearing them out loud felt like a knife being driven straight through his chest. Bruce didnโt look any better as he stood there, staring at his daughter sobbing in front of him.
โGet out, get out, get outโGET OUT!โ you screamed out in one breath. โ(Name), breathe. We can talk this out after you calm down a little, okay, pipsqueak?โ Dick said cautiously. You gritted your teeth at the nickname. How dare he use that name after everything heโd done? That name didnโt belong to you anymoreโฆ no, it belonged to Damian now. A choked laugh escaped your throat as you grabbed the hand mirror from your vanity and swung it straight at Dickโs head in anger. The glass shattered on impact, pieces scattering across the floor while shards embedded themselves into his skin, blood immediately trickling down his face. Dick stumbled back slightly and touched the side of his head, staring at the blood coating his fingers in shock. Bruce eyes widened slightly in shock quickly moved toward him to make sure he was alright before turning toward you, but he didnโt yell or even react. Instead, he silently guided Dick out of your room. He didn't even bother to look at you before leaving your room with dick.
You let out a hollowed-out chuckle before it turned into hysterical laughter. You never felt so alive, that shock on his and Bruce's faces made you feel better in a sickly twisted way. If this was their reaction to something so small, you wondered how much worse it would be once you finally got rid of them for good. Bruce on the other hand who heard your psychotic laugh from the distance couldn't help but be reminded of the Joker, who has the same manic laughter echoing in his mind ever since he started terrorizing Gotham, a pit formed in his stomach but he didnโt know why there was nothing to worry about this was just a phase. While dick looked shocked that his baby sister would raise her hand against him of all people. Sure he couldโve predicted that any of his other siblings would be bold enough to harm him, especially Damian, whoโd covered him in stab wounds from his katana when they first met...but you? Why would you do that unprovoked...Sure, he hadnโt been there for you lately, but between being a vigilante and working in Blรผdhaven, he convinced himself he was trying his best. At the end of the day, he was still your brother. Nausea twisted in his stomach as he hurried toward his room brushing off Bruce, leaving him standing alone. โMaster Bruce, are you alright?โ โโฆwhat am I doing wrong Alfred..what would she do in my placeโฆโ
