Jason: “Why? Who comes up in the system?”
Tim: “It’s… (name)!?”
Silence cut trough the coms like a knife (if we ignore the loud crescendo of the silver tray that Alfred was carrying falling to the floor) as the vigilantes all stood / kneeled around your body taking in the face they have seemed to ignore for all these years. Days old eyeliner fading into the dark circles under your eyes, the hyper pigmentation from the acne you had over the years on your cheeks, the slightly chapped lips that only now. Seemed to be glossy from the bile surrounding you and the bile, the alcoholic stomach acid and blood that is seeping into your closes and your hair. Bruce, as silent as he is, kneels down in-front of your body and next to Jason. Slowly, with hesitation, he wipes away some of the vomit, acid, blood alcohol mixture off your face so he could look at you properly. And in that moment, something brakes in him. Something that was originally broke when his parents died, that broke again when Jason died, and now it braking again seeing you there lying in front of him motionless. A child he was meant to protect. His child. His daughter. The small girl he never payed attention to ever since she stepped into the manor, not glancing when Alfred essentially became your father, not seeing the signs that you were spiralling, that you needed your father to be there ever since your mom died. And now here you are, essentially dead after everything.
The silence was broken with Tim’s voice cracking through the comms. “Bad timing but the ambulance is pulling up outside right now, along with commissioner Gordon and a couple other police officers sopping out the area.”
The silence was broken with Tim’s voice cracking through the comms. “Bad timing but the ambulance is pulling up outside right now, along with commissioner Gordon and a couple other police officers sopping out the area.”
Bruce doesn’t respond to what was said, but instead he scoops you up into his arms (just like what he did with Jason) and starts to walk toward the entrance. Through the toilet door and the trough, the multiple hallways. Both Dick and Jason where walking behind him grief and guilt consuming everyone as they walk through the halls of the warehouse. As they got closer to entrance rain started hitting the roof. At first it was gradual, but it quickly became soo aggressive that it sounded like hail smashing against any material possible.
Once they reached the main/front part of the warehouse, red and blue lights filled the filled the room and as if on cue the few, people that were still lurking about stated to leave, leaving the 1-3 individuals that were passed out behind. Pushing the door open, Bruce (while using his cape to shield you from the rain) walks straight to the paramedics handing you over to the medical professionals. Who removed you from his arms and placed you into gorney and started checking your vitals/ your condition. Words like ‘Naloxone’, ‘weak pulse’ and ‘breathing’ tube were being used but those were the only words that Bruce can actually hear as everything else was muffled as he watched the paramedics lofty you into the ambulance, closed the door and driveway.
Bruce continues to stare off inept he distances, as he watches the ambulance drive away with you in it. Only once the ambulance is out of sight Bruce walks towards the Batmobile that magically teleported to the front of the warehouse. He walks past commissioner Gordon, who was getting information about what happened inside from nightwing, and gets in the Batmobile. He does not drive away from the warehouse just yet, but instead he just sits there (still in a state of shock from seeing his daughter in an almost dead state) as the engine rumbled to life. Gordon ask Nightwing and Red hood about what is going on but even they did not mention anything about it other than mentions of a civilian that over dosed.
After that both Nightwing and Red Hood walked away from commissioner Gordon and into the bat mobile. Not in the same guilt-ridden way as batman but there was still a sense of guilt coming from the three vigilantes. Once Bruce saw in the rearview mirror that both of his son’s were in the Batmobile, he then drove away, not in the direction of the hospital, but towards the manor instead. To Bruce it wouldn’t be right for him to visit you now in costume. Plus, he was somewhat sure that the hospital would call the manor by the time he got to there to inform about [name].
By the time the Batmobile pulled into the cave the initial shock of seeing your limp body has mostly passed, but there was still that lingering feeling of guilt and shame for letting this gastric to you. For not even knowing what was even happening to you.
Tim had pulled up a file on you onto on of the bat mobile screens and the lack of info is surprising. Even the workers at Bat-burger had more information about what they done last week compared to you. All that was included in the files was your age, full legal name, your old height, and an image of you when you were really young and you had box braids that barely touched your shoulder. The original image was a picture of you and your mom pressed together cheek to cheek smiling but it was cropped so only your face was showing and the only slither of your mom being in that picture is the light brown wig strand that whispers across your face from the wind.It was one of the last recorded moments of you being happy…genuinely happy and that just seems to make the current situation hit worse.
Everyone’s eyes avoided those bright digital ones as Tim explained how he pulled up your files and saw no information that could help but when he looked at the the Gotham cameras planted around the city using the embarrassingly old picture for the face identifying system and multiple clips pulled up with you either buying drugs, hiding drugs in multiple parts of the city (most of it being out of frame but they can see enough) and you walking into dark allies doing god knows what only to re emerge hours later, hair disheveled, bottle in hand and stumbling out of frame.
Jason: Jesus how long has this been going on?
Tim: months, even longer… these clips date back for a while. Possibly even a year or more.
Dick: A YEAR?! And we never noticed… not even once?
Tim: Looking back now, the signs were pretty obvious. She was pretty avoidant with us, leaving rooms before we even entered, never looked like she was actually present in the rare cases that we did talk to her. Even Stephanie mentioned that when she first met [name] she seamed high…
Jason: She probably got like this after her mom died and the grief became too much. And we did nothing to help her.
Dick falls onto sofa…dread sticking to him like honey.
Dick: All the signs were right there and we just ignored her. All the times where we should have been their as her siblings, her family, a support system and we just let her break down..
Jason plops down on the sofa next to dick and places his helmet next to him.
Jason: I should of seen the signs, the same ones my mum had…how can I just let this happen to her.
Dick: I’m sure Alfred is effected more than us. He raised them all these years.
Jason: Where is Alfred?
Tim: once it came to light that the body was [name], he went upstairs and assent come back down since…
Dick: Let's give him some space for the time being.
And just like that, the cave fell into a daunting silence fell over the cave and the vigilantes removed their suits, with their mind clouded of “memories” of you (or what they believe is you) clouding their minds. Their suits feel now feel like they weigh a thousand pounds more than usual. The guilt of failing their own family to the point of that they are now (possibly) fighting for their life in hospital. That guilt now bashes them feel like they shouldn’t be Gotham protectors if they couldn’t protect you.
Once they change back into their civilian clothes, each of them left the cave one by one until the cave became empty. Bruce locked the entrance behind and walked out the library. Each of that his remains kids that were awake disappeared to different parts of the manor. Tim went to his room, Dick went to the indoor gym and Jason was in a hidden part of the library. That just Left Bruce to wonder around the manor. Looking at family portraits that decorate the halls from over the years that never seemed to include you even when you first joined the manor.
It was about fifteen minutes into Bruce’s aimless wondering (as he was thinking about all the chances, he had to be a better father to you and failed) when he ended up in front of a door that was cracked open a bit. Curiosity got him as he opened up the door and was greeted to a minimal decorated bedroom. All the room had was posters of old shows and bands on the walls, a desk with a worn-out hoodie sitting of the chair. There where a couple of missalenious items scattered around but what really caught his attention was Alfred, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a picture frame in hand.
Is was an old picture of you and Alfred baking. The both of you had aprons while your’s was pink with purple accents Alfred’s was a simple dark grey. You had flour on your face and some on your outstretched hands (you were trying to get some on Alfred when the picture was taken) and the biggest smile adorned your face that captured the joy of the memory ever so perfectly.
Without saying anything Bruce sat next to the butler but leaving space in between them. Alfred felt a dip in the and instantly snapped out of his daze.
Alfred: My apologies master Bruce. I didn’t know you have arrived back to the manor, I shall prepare the first aid kit.
Bruce: No need for that, it was only minor bruising and scratches. But what are you doing here?
Alfred: This is master [name]’s room. It doesn’t hold much character, just a few sentimental items collected a while back.
Bruce: I should have been there over the years…given her the attention she should have gotten
Alfred: She was bound to lose to the cowl when it came to having your attention Master Bruce.
Alfred leaves the room leaving Bruce alone in his thoughts (and the photo of you on the bed) surrounded but the subtle marks you have left in your room. Bruce picks up the the framed photograph and looks at your face. His fingers brush over the glass protecting your features, he stares at the face that has little to non of his features but all of your mothers.
Bruce has not being a present part of your life may have been part of a ripple effect that led you to end up how you did. But even though its now probably way too late to try, he wants to try to at least be more present in your life. He wants to control you care for you, monitor you be there for you so you don’t fall into the same hole you are currently in.
Bruce sighs as he finally put down the picture frame and drags his hand down his face. As he stands up he sees a floor board by your bed lifted and what seems to be things hidden underneath it. The curiosity of a detective takes over and he kneels down and removes the floor board entirely. Inside was a battered shoe box, the colours and labels have faded over time and the corners are showing signs of being warn out.
Opening the box, Bruce face shifts into a state of shock. The box was filled with multiple little bags filled with pills, some filled with powders there was also miniature versions of liquors bottles along with one bottle of whisky that Bruce specifically remembering being stashed away in the back of his office cubbord. Some cash was also there along with a burner phone. Bruce takes his time going through the content of the box his personal phone rings with the number that he recognises as the Gotham Hospital. He answers the phone and puts it up to his ear.
Bruce: Hello?
Gotham Hospital reception worker: Good evening, Mr Wayne. We have your daughter [Name] [last name] – Wayne at the hospital.
Bruce (acting shocked): Oh My- IS SHE OKAY?

Another cliffhanger i know im sorry 😭😭
I had to read previous chapters again 😭
This is a shorter chapter I’m sorry for that I just wanted the chapter to focus less on the reader on more on the Batfam’s guilts towards the reader.
I’m also going on hiatus until this uni year is over I’m already a few months in and had too many crash outs over deadlines.
Don’t get me wrong, I will be working on chapters and suggestions if I get anything but nothing will be posted until I after I finish this year sorry my omegas but your strong muscular CEO Alpha needs their degree 😔😔
