You hate the way they look at you like you don’t belong like they're just waiting for you to end up like your mother you tried so hard to prove to them that you’re not her that you are good you wanted to be good you wanted to be loved but they don’t see you they never will they only see her Pamela Lillian Isley aka poison ivy
You don’t remember her you been in Bruce’s custody for as long as you can remember when you were younger you tried asking about her Bruce never answered your question he looked so angry when you asked about her you’re too young to understand back then you only want to know your mother you understand now why he didn’t like talking about her but you still wish he told you anything about her you remember asking Alfred if Bruce would ever let you visit her he looked so nervous when answering you how you wouldn’t ever be able to meet her how dangerous she is
You tried to prove to your “family” that you are good even if you are her child you're not like her Alfred always told you they would come around one day they would see how much of a sweet child you are so you keep trying until Damian came to live in the house you couldn’t understand why they loved him so much he was a child of a villain just like you but he got there love their time there smiles it hurts what was so wrong with you that your “family” wouldn’t even give you that time of day
You remember the day you realize your “family” wouldn’t love you the way you wanted them to how Alfred had to bandage you up and take care of you after what happened how they didn’t even punished Damien somehow it was your fault for him hurting you for him lashing out on all you wanted was to introduce yourself to him
After what happened you fell into the background, you stop trying to get there love it just hurts too much it was easy for you to just watch their family time how they loved each other you learned you couldn’t force them to love you, you couldn’t make them see you so you focus your time on the person who loved you the ones who you didn’t need to prove yourself too
You had to learned how to love being alone finding things to do to busy yourself with reading painting cooking hell you even tried embroidery but gardening felt right to you never wanted to garden it would just give them another reason to see you as her child but seeing the different plants thrive under your care you didn’t care anymore it felt nice
You visit your garden every day it’s technically Bruce’s garden, but he doesn’t take care of the plants like you do you’re the one who makes sure it’s none of his plans actually dies you’re the one who waters them and gives them the proper soil so they’re your plants the plants feel like the only friend you have in this house sometimes you love Alfred but sometimes he’s too busy for you and your “family” never talk to you anyway so you just talk to your plans and sometimes it feels like they actually listen to you
On your days off your visit Gotham’s garden you volunteer there at you only did it to get out of that house plus volunteering looks good on a college application but eventually you begin to fall in love with the plants there and the other people who work there actually like you sometimes they give you money saying how a kid shouldn’t be spending their weekends working for free it nothing much sometimes it 5 to 15 just enough to buy you a quick snack from the corner store it nice until you have to go home the other works always tell you to be careful walking home they even offer to drive you but you never let them if they know you're a Wayne they might treat you differently
This was your life you just had to make it until College then you can pack up and leave far away from this “family” from Gotham and you would never have to look back that what you tell yourself take a deep breath as you walk home leaving the gardens a little later than usual everything feels much scarier at night it feels like someone watching you even though you don’t hear footsteps behind you but just feeling someone’s eyes on you
You turn around to look when someone suddenly grabs you “Scream and I’ll kill you" That's all you heard as a man covered your mouth. In that moment you felt like crying. You wanted to fight back, but you have a knife to your throat, his other hand going through your bag.
“A rich kid like you has nothing on them pathetic” He pushes you away, your body hitting the wall as he dumpster bag, throwing it to the side. All you can do is quietly cry, not knowing what else to do.
“I might as well have some fun with you” you feel his hand moving under your shirt that moment you scream yelling for help he quietly silenced you feel him cut you with his knife his other hand around your neck choking you look at him feeling a light-headed look behind him seeing vines slow wrapping themselves around his body feels his grip around your neck lessen until he’s completely away from you
You take deep breaths hearing the man yell in confusion reaching for your phone until you hear a snap then you see the man body fall to the ground the vines untangling themselves from his body slowly retreating all you see left is his dead body his neck now snapped the vines killed him
