"Jason please don't go."

"I have to go serenity. Its just to meet my mom."

"You don't know her Jay. What if you get hurt?"

"I'm not going to get hurt. I'll be back by tonight."

"I'm going to hurt you if you're not."

"I'm going as Robin so i'll have my tracking device."

"Let me get this straight. You're going to meet your mother as someone she doesn't know."

"Yes."

"Okay but you better come back. If you don't i'll have no one to kick ass with."

****************

" I'll be back in time for dinner! Jason called as he shot his grappling hook towards a nearby building.

"You better be!" I called from my spot standing in the middle of the park.

****************

"I found Jason." Bruce said from his computer.

"Where is he?" I asked nervously.

"With the Joker. I'm leaving to get him now."

He walked from the computer to the case holding his suit and pulled it out heading to the dressing room. I sprinted over to my case and pulled my suit out eagerly. I pulled off my sweatpants and hoodie and quickly put on my silver leotard and black ruffled skirt. I quickly tied my red ballet shoes and stuck my black sparkly domino mask to my face. I tugged my black and red tipped hair into two lopsided pigtails and tied on my signature red hooded cape. I glanced at the clock, it only took me 3 minutes. Bruce was waiting for me by the batmobile. I sprinted to the batmobile and jumped in the passenger.

"Hang on Jason," I whispered. "We're coming."

*****************

A wicked blast of heat knocked me to the ground. I felt blood running down my leg but I didn't care. A sudden rush of fear surged through me.

"JASON!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I threw myself off the ground and I ran through the smoke looking desperately for something, anything, to let me know that he was okay. The smoke cleared and I saw a blood trail on what was left of the concrete floor. I followed it not wanting to know what i would see when i reached the end. It led to a pile of burnt rubble.
"No" I whispered

"Batman!" I yelled " Help me move this!" Bruce came over to me and we began to push away the rubble. Bruce lifted another piece away and I fell to my knees, a sob caught in my throat. Jason layed there, broken, under the rubble. He was covered with bruises and blood.

"Jay! Jay please just please be alright." Nothing. "You have to be alright." I whispered. I already knew that we were too late. Jason was dead and Joker is the one that killed him. He was gone.

****************

I woke up with tears streaming down my cheeks. It's been three years since the accident and a lot has happened since then. I stopped living at the manor and moved back in with my mom and my baby sister, she was one when Jason died. When i moved back in with my mom i discovered that she had turned into an alcoholic and after a bad incident including a vodka bottle to the face, I took baby Layla and ran. I now live in an apartment in the middle of Gotham. After Jason's death I gave up my title of Red Wing and focused on taking care of Layla. I still talked to the members of the Bat Family, but it's been a long time since i've seen them. I pulled myself out of bed and went to the kitchen to take my medication. I looked at the clock on the way there, 7:00am. I guess it was time to get up anyway. I dug around in the cabinet until I found my three bottles of medication. One was for depression, one was for high blood pressure, and one was for anxiety. I have always had anxiety but the depression and high blood pressure came after Jason's death. I put all 3 pills in my mouth and swallowed them all at once downing a glass of water. I kept trying to convince myself that the depression medication helped but really how could a simple pill erase the effects of losing your best friend. I looked at the calender, April 27th. I dropped my cup on the floor and stared at the wall calender. Today was the third anniversary of Jason's death. I picked up my phone off the counter and unplugged it from the charger. I scrolled through the numbers until I found the number i was looking for.

"Hello?" A bright voice on the other end of the phone called.

"Hey Dick, Its Serenity."

"Whats up?"
"Do you think you could watch Layla for me today?"

"Yeah sure just drop her off at the manor whenever i'm with Bruce today."

"Okay." I ended the call and went to wake layla up.

After I had gotten Layla up I pulled on a black hoodie and red skinny jeans and gray converse. Layla followed me out to the car and I buckled her into her booster seat. I started the long drive to the manor and I could already see that today was going to drag on. I knew it was going to make me suffer. I could already feel the bad thoughts creeping their way into my head, haunting me.
