WELP I’m certainly not gonna be the first to say it but THIS TOOK TOO LONG.
I’m so sorry you guys but it is getting to be finals week at my school and that has taken up most of my time and I had a falling out with one of my friends which put me on absolutely no mood to write.
Thank you guys so much for sending me all of the lovely comments and I am sad to say that this series is coming to an end.
Scenario- the batfamily is hot on your trail maybe it’s good maybe it’s bad
Warning-cursing, slight violence.
——————————————
You loved midway city. It wasn’t like Gotham with all of the capes crusaders and evil villains. It wasn’t like metropolis with all of the people full of hope and the man of steel. It wasn’t like central city with the man faster than time. It wasn’t Star city with the man who could shoot better than Apollo and Artemis.
It was midway city home to the ordinary people and no one in a cape, mask, cowl, or hood for miles around.
You had found a nice job at a pet shop. You had always loved animals especially when you were a kid. They weren’t good or bad, they didn’t have to worry about saving the world, their biggest concern was who is gonna feed them next?
You also worked on gaining back your muscles and started training again. Incase he ever came back you need to be prepared to go down with a fight.
You hadn’t forgot your old life. The scars wouldn’t ever let you. The scars from missions gone wrong, scars from injury on the job, and the scars from the torture that riddles your entire back.
The countless electric shock had torn up your back leaving big nasty angry sores and rips on your back.
You of course though of pleasant memories of your past life. The love, the laughter, the friendships and the family.
You felt love when you saw Jason smile, the way his eyes would crinkle, his laugh lines appeared, and all of his worries were gone for just one second. He wasn’t the failed soldier. He wasn’t the mercenary that came back to life. He wasn’t the red hood who everyone feared. He was Jason Todd, your Robin, your favorite Robin. He was the moon in your stars, the one who made everything all right, even if the whole world was crashing down.
You knew the laughter that haunted your mind. The countless nights of patrolling with Dick and his stupid jokes, when Damian and Tim would bicker for hours on end and come up with the dumbest of insults. When Bruce would be so sleep deprived he would fall asleep in the most random places of the manor, the time he fell asleep in the back of the limo was your favorite. The time Barbara and Stephanie did a entire commentary on the boys bickering, which had you rolling on the floor.
You remember the family and friendships you would never be able to feel again. The time you saw Damian watching a old movie that had been a favorite of yours so you sat down quietly in the entertainment room and watched it with him, soon Dick and Barbara followed, then Tim came in with Stephanie and lastly Jason who made sure to sit next to you. Titus was on the floor with Alfred the cat when you noticed Bruce had crept in and was sitting at the back of the entertainment room behind Dick and Barbara.
You remember waking up hours later with your head on Jason’s chest and his arms wrapped around your shoulders with his faces snuggled into the top of your head. You looked up and saw Tim and Stephanie asleep on the other end of the couch with Barbara and Dick on the couch right behind them. Bruce had fallen asleep with his arms crossed and leaning backwards on the seat, somehow even sleeping, he looked scary.
Damian apparently had gotten tired of Dick laying against him and moved to the floor with Alfred the cat and Titus as a pillow. Alfred (the man) must have come in last night because you all had blankets draped over you. You layed you head back down on Jason’s warm chest, you felt safe and secure, something you longed for now, and went back to sleep. That was family. That was your friendship.
You were currently at your new job and talking to your new found friend, (y/f/n).
“That’s what I said.” You friend laughed as you both walked around the play pins filled with puppies. You knew if Damian was here he would try to buy them all.
“I can’t believe he would do something like that.” You said completely astonished by your friends story.
“See, now you understand my world.” Your friend said and threw her hands up in exasperation as you chuckled. In ways she reminded you a lot of dick.
You were about to tell her of a similar experience you had when she stopped and looked at the tv screen that was in the corner of the room.
“Damn, I remember I use to have a huge crush on him when I was a teenager.” She said in the most lovey docent voice she could manage. You rolled your eyes and looked at the tv.
BREAKING NEWS
“Tragic robbery gone wrong, only serious injury is son of Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson.” The big news anchor said in a musky voice.
You could hear him drone on and on about what happened but you could only hear the blood in your ears rushing and your heart beat going in and out. You gripped so tight onto the counter top you felt like your fingers were going to break. You kneeled on the floor and closed your eyes.
“(Y/n) are you ok, what’s going on?” Your friend questioned and crouched next to you and put her hands on your shoulders.
“Where is he being treated, what hospital?” You grounded out as you felt your heart crack and countless memories of Dick flood in.
“Wayne memorial, oh my god, (y/n), do you know him?” She said concerned and put her hand over her heart in astonishment.
“I won’t be in tomorrow.” You said as you stood up and balanced yourself on the countertop.
Before she could get a word in you were already gone. You ran down the sidewalk to your apartment that was just a block away from your job.
You ran up to your room after saying a very quick hello to your elderly neighbor. You quickly grabbed your over night bag which had your eskrima sticks and a change of clothes with 500 dollars in it.
You never knew what would happen if you went back to Gotham so you made sure you were well prepared.
You quickly put on a pair of black combat boots and kept on your blue jeans from work and put on your black leather jacket and pulled your hair into a pony tail and put on a black baseball cap. You grabbed the keys to your bike and ran out the door with your overnight bag.
You weren’t thinking when you got on your bike, took off your cap, pulled on your helmet and took off in the direction of Gotham. You’re entire body was on autopilot, you only had one goal, get to Gotham and see if Dick was ok.
The only time the news reported on any of the bat kids was when they were in the hospital. Except when it said that they were in a car crash, it really means that two face hit them with his car. When they were in a “robbery” it means they were shot so bad Alfred couldn’t fix them and they needed professional hospital help.
You probably broke all of the speed limits getting to Gotham. When you finally pulled into the hospital car park, it was pitch black outside. You pulled your bag tightly over your shoulder and pulled on your baseball cap after you pulled off your helmet.
You sped walked to the hospital stairs and jogged up to the lobby. You looked around the corner before going into the main section, no batfam or joker minions in sight, so you’re all good for now.
You quickly walked to the front desk and pulled on your game face. You fell forward over the desk and put your hands over your face and let out tiny sobs.
“Umm honey can I help you?” A small older lady nurse asked from behind the counter who put her hand on your forearm in a gesture of comfort.
“I-it’s my brother Richard h-he was shot this morning and I-i just got into town and oh my god is -is he alright.” You whimpered as tears streaked down your face.
“Ok honey, let’s just see what room he is in and you can go see for yourself, what’s his last name?” She asked very soflty and started to type on the key board.
“G-grayson.” You said with a loud sob at the end causing people to look at you in pity.
“Ok honey, here he’s in room 908 on the 5th floor, the elevators are right there.” She said and pointed to the back of the room where two silver elevators stood.
“Oh thank you so much dear, bless you, bless you.” You said and turned around to go to the elevator.
You wiped the tears off your cheeks and smirked, you still had it. She never would have told you what room he was in, unless you were family and now you were.
You pushed the 5th floor button and fixed the rest of your face while the elevator brought you up. You were going to be in and out of his room, them back to Midway city, to live your life. You walked down the hallway that only had a few other nurses walking up and down to check on other patients.
You stopped in front of room 908 and let out a deep breath praying that Dick was passed out. You quietly opened the door and noticed the lights weren’t on at all. You quickly slipped in and shut the door not wanting the nurse to see you. You went to flip one of the light switches when someone grabbed your wrist.
You gasped and latched into there hand pulling them to you and sliding your hand up there shoulders ramming there stomach into your knee. You kicked them backwards as two people grabbed both of your elbows.
“Not to-motherfucking-day.” You said and bent both of your arms outwards and grabbed onto both of the attackers hair and brought there skulls smashing forward against each other with a sickening crack. They crumpled on the floor below you as you could feel someones presence behind you.
You turned around and kicked your left leg around the assailants neck and put you hands on his head and pulled your other leg around his neck so both of you legs were locked behind his neck and pulled forward on his hair causing him to go tumbling forward and you put your foot on his chest and kicked him off of you so he landed on the opposite wall with a loud groan. You quickly got off of the ground and stood in the middle of the room.
You weren’t sure how many attackers there were, so you had to stay alert.
“Yeah you piece of clown scumbag, I’m a big stronger than last time.” You said and roundhouse kicked the other figure that was approaching on your left and kicked them in the chest so they flew to the other side of the room.
You took a few steps back and rested your hand on a metal bar that wrapped around the room so injured patients could walk around. You took a deep breath as you felt a panic attack coming on, you went to open the door and leave Gotham behind forever. You felt a cold metal wrap around your wrist and a clicking sound. You pulled your wrist as fast as you could but couldn’t seeing as how they were probably attached to the metal pole.
“Oh you fucking coward, if you’re going to drag me down to hell, at least let me defend myself.” You growled out as you kept on high apart with both fists clenched.
“Looks like you don’t need any help defending yourself.” You heard a familiar rough gravely voice say before the lights flicked on.
“What, what why? Why would you handcuff me?” You questioned in complete shock then you remembered, your the jokers daughter of course they’re going to handcuff you.
“We weren’t sure if you would try to run.” The same voice say, which belong to Bruce Wayne.
Bruce stood in front of you with Barbara who was holding a small silver key, presumably to the handcuff that had confined you to the metal bar. Tim and Dick were on the floor holding there heads while Stephanie checked on both of them. Damian was half way on the other side of the room where you kicked him and Jason was sitting up against the wall with his helmet of rubbing his chest and looking at the ceiling.
You felt your eyes go wide as the entire batfamily assembled in front of you holding there injuries. You looked at Jason was had a poker face on and looked back at you dead in the eyes.
“You know I’ll escape before you have the chance to take me to arkham, so why don’t you just knock me out now and it will be easier for both of us.” You said turning away from Jason and looking Bruce in the eye.
“What are you talking about?” Damian questioned in annoyance while rubbed his head.
“Oh come on, you just found the jokers daughter who has been under your nose for years, I suppose this is where you take me to Arkham to live out the rest of my days in a padded cell.” You said in a stiff tone and looked at everyone, who all just stared back at you.
“(Y/n) you’re family, we would never do that to you, we know you did what you did for good reasons.” Dick said and stepped forward to get a better look at you.
You laughed a little bit and covered it with your wrist.
“You do realize that you’re all standing in a hospital in full costume just to drag me to arkham, I feel so honored.” You said in a dark tone and leaned against the walk with a bored expression, while your heart broke.
“For the last time (y/n) we aren’t taking you to arkham, the only reason we are mad is because you didn’t come back, we thought you were dead.” Stephanie said in a harsh tone. You looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
“Why didn’t you come back (y/n), we’re family, we’re there for each other through everything.” Tim said in a heart wrenching tone.
“I couldn’t face you guys, I couldn’t look you guys in the eyes knowing I lied to you guys for years and put innocent people in danger, I knew you wouldn’t look at me the way you did before, it wouldn’t be the same.” You said as you finally broke and a tear ran down your face. You looked to the floor as they all looked at you, you didn’t want to see the hatred in there eyes.
“Leave.” You heard the most familiar voice say from the back of the room. The voice that sounded like home.
“What?” Dick said confused.
“Let us talk, Babs give me the key and leave.” He said and held his gloved hand out to her.
Barbara looked to Bruce. He nodded slowly and walked over to open the window where the bat-jet was waiting. Barbara handed over the key and looked at you one last time before she followed the rest of the batkids out of the window. You shut your eyes as the window closed and you absolutely dreaded this moment. You were alone with Jason, for the first time since he found out you were related to the guy who killed him.
“You’re right, we wouldn’t have seen you the same way ever again.” He said and looked at you with the same poker face he had all night. You cast your eyes to the floor as your heart fell into your stomach.
“We would have seen you so much better. You somehow have become the best most amazingly fantastic person, I have ever met and this only makes you more extraordinary. You have come from and been though so much shit in your life, yet you never fail to be kind and put others before yourself countless upon dozens of times.” He said as he got closer to you and cupped your face in his hand making you look up into his bright green eyes, he had a small smile on his face which made your heart inflate.
“You have made me fall utterly, blissfully, and truly in love with you regardless if you’re the joker or not because to me you will always be (y/n) (y/l/n) the girl I have been madly in love with and the one I will always be in love with.” He said as he un-cuffed you and pulled you into a bear hug that lifted you off the ground.
“Oh Jason,I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I should have come back.” You said and sobbed into the crook of his neck. You held on tight to him, like he was the only thing keeping you on this earth.
“I though you died and I just I don’t know what to do (y/n), what could I have done?” He said as his voice cracked and you moved you head out of the crook of his neck and he put you back on the ground.
You reached up and wiped the tears out from under his eyes and gave him a small smile through your tears.
“Well I’m here now, so don’t think about, I’m here and I’m not going away for a long time. I love too much to leave you again.” You said and caressed his face as he leaned down and kissed you so passionately, you thought you were going to fall down.
You could feel the emotions of the past 7 years flowing out in the kiss, all of the pain, the happiness and the laughter was all there. All of the built up compassion was released in that one blissfully perfect moment.
You leaned back down because sadly humans need to breath and leaned your head against Jason’s chest.
“Hey Jason.” You said timidly into his chest as you wrapped your arms around him his torso.
“Yeah babydoll.” He said and kissed top of your head as he wrapped his arms around your shoulders.
“I think I found my family.” You said and looked up at him with a smile.
“You sure did baby, you sure did.” He said with a chuckle and leaned down to kiss you again.
Unbeknownst to you one roof top over the entire batfamily was cheering and clapping. You see Jason had left his microphone on so they heard everything and Dick had won a bet against Tim and Damian.
The girls squealed as they saw you and Jason kissed while Damian just snarled at the scene but everyone knew he was happy.
Lastly Bruce smiles down at you to knowing he made one good thing happen in yours and Jason’s life.
