Prologue Pt. 3

Murmurs were heard all over the hall while they waited. Any second now a complete stranger will be arriving with the help of Lady Hecate.

Over at the Slytherin table Regulus was currently explaining the newfound information he received. His friend's reactions to this were quite funny if he did say so himself.

"I'm sorry Reggie, did you just say you and Sirius have an older sister?" Rabastan asked.

"Did I stutter Rab?"

Barty being Barty decides to ask, "Your father show you a photo yet? Is she hot?" Regulus shot him a look. "First of all he did not so I wouldn't know but I don't doubt she's beautiful, She is technically a Black. And second Barty, you'll see her in a few moments so wait for your answer."

"Alright Reg let's relax a bit. I'm sure Sirius is going through the same with his friends," Evan remarked.

Evan was right. Sirius was in fact breathing rather harshly, panicking but also filled with excitement.

"Sirius, mate, calm down. It'll be fine." James pats his shoulder in hopes of relaxing his best mate.

Remus agreed. He spoke softly making sure Sirius could hear, "James is right. Who knows, maybe you'll have something in common? You just have to take one step at a time."

The last boy, Peter, tilted his head moving to sit closer. "Yeah! Maybe pranking is in her blood. Could be a possibility." Sirius quietly scoffs. "Okay I get it. I'm just a bit scared okay. What if she hates me and Regulus? It's not like it's our fault father abandoned her.

He a had point. She could end up hating them and the rest of their family. Which fair. They can only hope that's not the case.

"We'll just have to find ou—" whoever spoke was cut off by multiple loud thuds.

A group of four appeared at the front, landing in a doggy pile. 3 males and 1 female.

"Todd! Get off of me at once! I can't...breathe."

"I'm trying demon spawn! I've got replacement and dickface weighing me down."

"Ughhh dick, move! I know you can."

"Okay okay quiet down little wing, we've got company."

Snapping their heads up they see a crowd of children and adults. Dressed in black robes and holding sticks? Pointing at them as if it was going to protect them. To their side they see a woman with a divine presence, radiating immense power.

Jumping onto their feet they quickly observe their surroundings. Weapons in hands, ready to defend themselves. Looking for any possible exits.

Everyone in the hall looked wary of these individuals. All of them were oddly dressed in some type of material, looked like armor, and faces covered with masks. They also held weapons. Is that child holding a katana?

There were several reactions throughout the room. Pure bloods sneered, but were curious with the way they held themselves. Majority of muggle borns and half bloods either squealed with excitement or filled with confusion and fear. Because who wouldn't be terrified being in the presence of Gotham City's famous vigilantes.

"Pardon us, but uh, where are we exactly? And who are you?" A man with short black hair whose bangs were slightly longer asked. This man was lean but well built. He's wearing a black and blue skin tight Kevlar jumpsuit. The blue symboled a bird shaping into a V, going down his arms both front and back. His arms had gauntlets and a pair of black boots. He stepped forward to cover his group.

Not that it did much anyways, with the way the others stepped along with him. Each of them quietly assessing with tense shoulders.

Hecate spoke up, "Welcome protectors of Gotham. Apologies for the potential kidnapping, but it was most necessary. If I'm correct I brought you two years in the past. However I'm specifically looking for a miss Jayden Todd."

That immediately had the vigilantes on edge, bodies rigid, and their weapons raised. Friendly aura diminished.

'How does she know her/my identity?! And 2 years in past? is what the vigilantes thought. Their minds were going ballistic because if this lady knew one their identities, that means she knows the rest. 'God dammit, Bruce is gonna kill us.'

"What could you possibly need me for? You literally just exposed me!" The young woman hisses, both guns held in a tight grip. She was a bit taller than the first man, pale skin, had black semi-wavy neck length hair with shorter out of place white bangs. Her physique was bulkier and wider than most woman. She had scars around her neck and face, so they can only imagine what's under clothing. Overall she was physically intimidating, someone that screams dangerous and should be completely avoided.

She had on a skin fitting grayish, almost black Kevlar long sleeve undershirt, a bright red bat on the center of her chest. Black cargo pants that consisted many pockets for weaponry storage and gun thigh holsters for quick access, black military tactical boots, and gauntlets. Finally her signature brown leather jacket.

Her expression hardened behind the mask, but held a bit of hesitation since there were children present.

Meanwhile the Black family had their eyes set on the beautiful yet intimidating woman. Orion was obviously filled with regret for leaving her. Walburga just starred daggers at her person. The black brothers just looked in awe because their older sister had this commanding presence about her. They all knew how dangerous she could be with the way she held herself. She was prepared to fight her way out if need be.

"I'm known as the Greek goddess Hecate, mother of Magic. And you, Jayden Todd will be assisting me by showing your past and future memories to change this foolish community's beliefs on pureblood supremacy. Sounds ridiculous, but that's how it is," She says before adding on, "Besides, I brought you to where you should have belonged in the first place."

Jayden's eye twitched, staying in position. "Now you're fucking with me. Me belong here? Abso-fucking-lutely not. None of this should be my problem. I'd also like to add that watching my memories is extremely invasive!" She felt her throat tighten as she finished ranting.

Jayden knew she had no choice considering it was a damn goddess that brought her and her brothers here. She'll arguing if she wants to damnit! She was definitely not happy to go through those memories, much less with an audience.

"Actually Todd. If my memories serves me correct, grandfather often spoke of the backwards wizard community located in the UK," The tanned child says, now lowering his katana slowly. He had black cut styled back hair, darker skin toned than the others with a natural scowl marring his face.

Everyone could see that this young boy was stoic, stone cold, and oozed arrogance. He was undeniably lethal. His suit was colorful. A bright red Kevlar tunic and black leggings. Green skin tight gloves and green boots occupied his arms and feet. A letter R located on his left pec. On his back was a black hooded cape with the color yellow underneath.

That surprised the wixen because um what? Muggles shouldn't know anything about them! Even dumbledore was shocked.

"Oh yeah I remember now. B spoke about these 'hidden' communities all over the world with me and dick." This boy looked dead on his feet to the wizards and witches. His hair was black, up to his cheek, a bit disheveled. Pale skin with a lean build showing muscles that compliment his body type.

The uniform he dressed in consisted of a red Kevlar tunic, similar to the younger boy. His leggings, boots, and cape were pitch black. A utility belt wrapped around his waist, an X-crossed chest harness marked with a golden shaped Robin in the center.

Dick stifled a snort, giving a small smile, "mhm said something about how their governments operate and whatnot."

Jayden let's out a frustrated sigh. She faced Lady Hecate with a straightened back, head held high to exude confidence and eyes narrowed. "Fine. Let's say I help with your problem, even if I don't want to." She rolled her eyes, "How is it that I belong here? I'm from Gotham. A street kid. I've got a dead drug addict mom and a dead beat dad."

Her brothers, aside from Damian, just laughed at how blunt she delivered that.

Everyone else had bewildered expressions or unattractively gaped at her confession. She said it as if it were a normal everyday thing...

Hecate clears her throat, "Ah yes, your parents. Strictly speaking your mother was an American witch where as your father -who is very much alive- is a pureblood British wizard." Turning around to face Orion, she lifts a finger to point him out, "he's actually right over there."

The room explodes with confusion, disbelief, shouts of "WHAT?!"  This also shocked the male vigilantes, but didn't show it. Their eyes stayed on their sister knowing what would happen.

Orion stiffened when her eyes landed on him.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. INHALE. EXHALE.

'I knew he abandoned me, but to see him here happy and healthy...' she thinks.

She felt her heart beat rapidly. Eyes flashing a toxic green. A ringing noise is all she could make out, anger swirling throughout her body. Her head was spinning and she was trying to gain control before she loses it completely. She unconsciously aimed her gun at her father. So close to pulling the trig—

Feeling a hand grip her shoulders brought her back to reality, she turns to see dick attempting to comfort her. Another hand, —Tim's she recognizes—landed on her left arm holding the gun, lowering it away from the man she was ready to kill. When did she aim for him? She looked for Damian who was by Dick's side, giving her a nod in support.

She released a shaky breath, running a hand through her hair. "I'm good, I'm good. Just...just give me a minute."

Orion didn't know the last time he felt true fear. That was until now. His daughter looked like she was more than ready to kill him with those weapons aiming at his person. He could see how her eyes flashed an avada kedavra green. The way her body tensed then shook with rage, a rage everyone in the room could feel. It was absolutely chilling. He was certain his family felt the same.

Sirius won't lie. His new sister was scary as hell, but deep down he wanted her to hurt their father. For allowing their mother to emotionally and physically abuse them.

Regulus went completely still. His body couldn't move when he felt her intense, hot rage. Looking around he could see he wasn't the only one.

"Your sister's definitely hot. Physically and emotionally." Barty squeaks. Regulus sweat dropped at that. His friends were weird.

Walburga instantly believed that this woman could kill everyone in the room. She may highly dislike the affair and step child situation, but she was smarter than to provoke someone that dangerous. Little does she know she'll be on Jayden's shit list when she finds out about the abuse.

Suddenly, all that rage they felt in the hall had disappeared when her companions came to her aid.

Hecate just stood there ignoring the commotion before continuing, "let's move on shall we. I've explained the problem at hand. The basics were given to all of you. Do keep in mind that time is frozen, the four of your younger counterparts are doing whatever they did around this time of year, and no need to worry about your identities. While the people here will know, they've all been forbidden from speaking on the topic to anyone who is not in this room. Done so by me. So introduce yourselves while I work on setting everything up." She nods without giving them a chance to response, leaving to set the room.

The wixen sat in their seats, conflicted with an array of emotions, patiently waiting for their introductions. Especially the woman who was apparently a Black. They watched as they took off their masks. Taking in the three sets of if blue eyes and one emerald green starring at them.

'Ive said this before and I'll say it again...why is ALWAYS me?! This is such bullshit.' Jayden angrily asked herself.

"Okay guess I'll go first. Hi there! My names Richard Grayson, call me Dick. My alias is Nightwing for those of you who don't know." Dick waved, giving the crowd a charming smile.

"Jayden Todd. Alias Red Hood. No magic. Come at me or my brothers with your supremacy bullshit and I'll shoot your brains out," she says sharply.

Okay. They knew that was a promise. Unfortunately, some pure bloods didn't believe her because what could a squib do? She was basically useless.

"Tim Drake. Also known as Red Robin." Tim nodded, shyly waving.

"Damian Wayne. Robin. Only biological child of Batman." Damien announced with pride.

The the older siblings deadpanned at him, "really?"

He shrugged.

"Alright then. Any quick questions before we start?" Dick asked, seeing the curious looks.

The first they see is a young man with black slicked back hair, silver eyes filled with mischief, dressed in red, and holding some sort of resemblance to Jayden raise his hand. "You there." Dick points.

"Sirius Black here. What is it that all of you do?" He stares at Jayden.

Jayden's answers, "we're vigilantes for our city. We protect our people from criminals on our own terms," giving him a small smile. She knew he had to be her half brother because he looks exactly like him. Looking around she sees another guy with similar features, a bit young but had guarded eyes. She'll find out about that later.

A random girl wearing blue asked the next question. "This one's for Miss Todd. The newspaper I've recently read states that Batman's looking for your younger counterpart. Why is that?"

"Uh 20 year old me was going through some major issues. She's probably messing with his ass right now. I'm sure my memories will explain." Smirking at all the trouble she's caused for B.

The girl nods, satisfied with her answer.

Dick bumped her shoulder laughing just a little, "Well someone's popular." She rolled her eyes, turning to the side. "Shut up Dick." He squawks.

Tim let's out a "pfft." Knowing she was actually calling him a dick.

Damian just scoffed, "Are we going to get on with it or not?" He was tired waiting.

As if she was summoned, Hecate walks towards them. "Yes everything is set. Let us begin shall we!" She snaps her fingers creating a table for the vigilantes. They thank her before getting comfortable. Well as comfortable as they can get with everyone watching them like zoo animals.

Hello hello! My goodness another long prologue, that's crazy. I'll be moving onto to the actual movie Batman: Under the Red Hood. I plan on mixing a few lines from the game, Arkham knight along with changing certain scenes. For the most part everything should follow the plot line, but don't be surprised if I go non canon.

I do hope you enjoyed todays chapter! Have a great day/night everyone :)
