Chapter 6: The truth comes out
Rachel
As I had finished up my story I noticed that everyone was staring at me in shock..well everyone except Damian and his father. Bruce only narrowed his eyes at me. I was starting to feel a bit nervous. 'I knew this was a mistake' I mentally slapped myself. "What!? You're father is an inter-dimensional demon?" Richard asked with his mouth still hanging open. "Yes" I said looking down in shame. We all sat there just staring at each other until Bruce finally spoke up. "When is he coming?" he asked me. I was a bit caught off guard. "W-what?" I stammered.
"Your father. When is he coming?" he asked again. "I-I don't know. He always shows up in my nightmares. He tells me that he'll return soon....maybe even in a couple of days. All I know is that he's trying his best to break out of his prison. I wanted to find someone who could help me stop him but...I didn't know who to go to"I sighed. "Don't worry Rachel. We'll help you stop him-" Damian started. "Damian what do you think you're doing?" Richard cut him off. "She already knows" Damian told him. "What!?" Bruce almost yelled. "I told her that you and I were Batman and Robin" Damian said simply. Bruce glared at Damian. "Damian why would you-" Bruce started but was cut off by Damian. "Because....she would have found out sooner or later...and I thought she deserved to know. Remember Raven? Well...this is her"Damian told him. Bruce stared at me with wide eyes.
"You're that girl we met at the park?" he asked with a surprised expression. "Yes. My super hero name is Raven because my mom use to call me that all the time. It was my nickname. I tried to use my powers for good...so i decided to become a super hero. I'm sorry for causing you all this trouble. I really never wanted any of this to happen. This is all my fault. Trigon is coming...and there's no way to stop him" I said sighing. "We will find a way to stop you're father. We can't just give up" Damian said with a determined look. "Damian's right. I'm going to go tell the League about this.
Rachel, Damian, I'll need to have a discussion with both of you later...as for everyone else..right now we are having a family dinner so everyone you may continue doing what you were doing before" Bruce said and walked out of the room.
Everyone stared at each other but after a few seconds they continued with their conversations as if nothing had happened. I sighed and my face held a worried expression. Damian turned towards me." Don't worry Rachel. He might be strong, but you're stronger. We'll stop him. Together" Damian gave me a small smile. I smiled back at him. He continued eating his dinner and I continued eating mine.
Damian's Pov
Soon it was 10 p.m. and everyone had gone home. Rachel and I were sitting on the couch watching movies when Alfred came walking into the room. "Master Bruce would like to have a talk with you and Miss Roth, Master Damian. He's waiting in the cave" Alfred said and walked out do the room. We both stood up and walked towards the batcave Rachel followed behind me. When we got there I punched in the code and me and Rachel walked into the cave. Rachel looked around wide eyed silently admired the batcave. I smirked to myself and walked over to where father was sitting.
"Yes father?"I said. He turned around in his chair. "I've called you down here because I wanted to have a talk with you both. I've talked to the justice league and we've decided that it would be best to keep that gem in a safe place" father said and pointed towards Rachel's gem. Rachel held the necklace in her hands. She looked up at him as if she was afraid to give him the gem. "B-but I have to keep an eye on him. I need this gem with me all the times. He'll be trying to escape so he needs to be watched"Rachel said still holding the gem tightly.
"I know. That's why we've decided to keep it with the League and store it in a safe place. You can trust us. We won't let anything happen to it" Bruce said and stuck his hand out. Rachel sighed. "A-Alright" Rachel took the gem from around her neck and placed it in father's hand. "What did you want to talk to us about?" I asked. "I wanted to ask Rachel if she knew a way that we could prepare for this. If her father escapes we'll need a way to stop him" he said and turned towards Rachel.
Rachel's Pov
"I'm the only one that can stop him. The last time he escaped I was able to trap him...but I just got lucky. I do know that he and my brothers aren't going to stop until they get want they want. Me. My father wants me to rule with him. He wants me because my brothers aren't strong enough. His way here is through me. I'm his portal" I explained. Bruce rubbed his chin and looked at his watch. "We'll have to figure this out tomorrow. Right now it's late and the two of you need to get to bed because you both have school in the morning. Would you like for Alfred to give you a ride home?" Bruce asked me.
"Actually...that's one of the things I that I wanted to discuss with you father. You see...Rachel and her friend,Terra, don't really have what you'd call a 'home'. They live in an apartment with one of Rachel's older friends. She told me that her friend was close to her mom so she is in charge of looking after them...but she's never really home. Is that correct?" Damian tilted his head towards me. "Yes" I sighed. "So basically you're two fifteen year-olds that live by yourselves?"Bruce asked me. "You could say that. We have both had really rough pasts. Neither of us have parents so we decided to live in an apartment with my mom's friend. She was kind of like a sister to my mom...so I call her Aunt. She's the closest thing me and Terra have to a family. She has to go go work a lot so she never really has the time to take care of us...but she's doing her best" I explained.
"Well....you're welcome to stay with us if you'd like" Bruce said. "No...no...we're fine. I've put you all through enough trouble already. I could never ask that of you"I said shaking my head and waving both my hands. "Well I'm offering it to you. We don't mind having a little extra company. You're our guests and you're welcome to stay as long as you'd like" Bruce told me. "R-really? But...I thought you'd want nothing to do with me. No one's ever really shown kindness towards me" I said looking down. Bruce placed a hand on my shoulder. "Why would you think that? We don't mind you staying here at all" Bruce said smiling. "T-thanks" I slightly smiled back at him. 'Maybe he isn't so bad after all...'
Bruce took his hands off of my shoulder and turned to Damian. "Show her to the guest room. I'll have Alfred wash you're uniform and we'll take you to school tomorrow. You're friend can come over tomorrow if she'd like" Bruce said. I nodded my head. Bruce turned back around in his chair and Damian looked over at me and smiled. He led me out of the batcave and we walked towards the room I'd be sleeping in. "Wow....he actually doesn't hate you" Damian chuckled. I laughed a bit too. "I'm just as surprised as you are" I said still chuckling. When we reached the guest room Damian told me good night and he walked down towards his room, which was down the hallway. I had given Alfred my uniform and now had on a t-shirt with pajama bottoms. I walked towards the bed and lied down. As I closed my eyes I felt the tiniest bit of hope still lingering inside me. 'Maybe I will be able to take down my father after all'
That's all for this chapter. It may not be the best but...I tried. I had to make it a bit shorter because that's all I really had time for. I actually wrote this chapter earlier but I had to publish it right now because I don't have internet where I am. Anyway, thank you for reading my story! My next chapter will be up soon. That's all for now so...BYE!✌💚
