Legacy

Revelations

You sat on the soft leather couch while you waited for everyone to return from patrol. You had gotten in that morning and spent the whole day resting and thinking. You were going to reveal everything now. Eventually you head the doorway to the Cave open and everyone piled in exhausted. Booster spotted you and smiled.

Booster: Buddy! You're back!

You smiled and gave him a fist bump.

Y/N: Came in this morning. I, I think it's time Booster.

Booster nodded in understanding. Eventually everyone joined in welcoming you back before you sat them all down.

Y/N: Look, I've been here for a while now. You all accepted me into this family and I feel like I haven't been honest with you all.

Bruce watched you curious about your next move. You sighed and pulled off your shirt. You turned so that everyone could see your burn mark where your mark had once been.

Y/N: As you all know, I was part of the League of Shadows. But not just that. My last name is al Ghul. That is not a coincidence. I am Ra's al Ghul's son.

Everyone sat up at this reveal. Damien stood up looking like he was going to knock you out cold.

Y/N: My mother, she was young and dumb. She joined the shadows after she ran from home. She met my father and grew in love with him and he used it. Used her. I was a mistake but one Ra's welcomed. He trained me from birth and then the day came to show my loyalty. I was just a child. 10 years old.

Ra's: I am proud of you my son. You have truly come a long way than the runt you once were.

Y/N: Thank you father.

Ra's: Now there is only one more test for you to take. One that will determine if you are truly ready to fight among my ninja.

Y/N: I am ready father.

Ra's smiled and led you down the long hall towards the main room. You were prepared for a fight. You had trained everyday for the last 5 years and now was your time to prove yourself. Ra's opened the doors and your stomach dropped at the scene before you. In the middle of the room was your mother shackled to the floor. Two soldiers were on both sides of her holding their blades to her throat.

Ra's: This is your final test. Kill her.

Your eyes widened as he handed you a blade. You grasped it and looked to your mother. Her mouth was covered with tape but she was desperately trying to beg for her life.

Y/N: I don't understand.

Ra's: Your mother was going to betray us. She was going to take you away. She is simply a traitor. One that needs to be dealt with.

You looked back at your mother. Her H/C hair was a mess and blood dripped from a fresh cut just over her E/C eye.

Ra's: Kill her child.

Your grip tightened on the handle as you lifted it up. You prepared to strike but found yourself hesitant. You finally took a deep breath and brought the blade down. Ra's blocked it before it could hit him however.

Ra's: Shame.

Ra's pushed the blade back and kicked you away. He then picked up the sword you dropped and swiftly beheaded your mother before you.

Y/N: NO!

Ra's: She was weak. Just as you. The weak have no place here.

He turned to you and was ready to fight before there was an explosion.
