"Barbara and I were in a relationship."
That's the first thing that I see.
Is Ben Affleck?
Dressed in a Batman suit with his cowl down, looking at me with a guilty expression.
And immediately I got the worst headache of my life. It took every fiber of my being to not show any signs of pain that Bru...Batman could get. It
My mind is completely filled with Dick memories and my memories.
I remember my adoptive parents.
How they loved me
How they trained me in gymnastics
How they were killed
When I was adopted by Batman
My time as Robin
How I look up to him
I loved him as my father.
How I and Barbara fell in love
How I was going to ask her to marry me with the ring that is currently in my back pocket
"Dick, Dick, can you hear me?"
His voice broke me from my trance.
I look up and meet his eyes.
The eyes of the man that I considered
My Father
"Yes. Yes, I can."
"Dick, I know that there's nothing I can do to make you forgive me, but..."
"Let me guess, Barbara is pregnant, isn't she?" I say while taking a seat at the edge of the rooftop that we are
Batman froze in shock, his eyes widening.
"I'm going to take your silence as a yes, okay?"
I take a big breath, trying to hold back my fury.
"Do you know what I was thinking when I was going to the mansion when you first adopted me?" I asked, and he shook his head.
"I kept thinking how you knew what I was going through and what I was feeling, and I was right; you knew my anger and my feeling of being hopeless, and you showed me how to fight and how to save people, and before I could know it, you became my dad." I say this while watching tears start to gather in his eyes, making him even more angry.
"You were the person who was my idol, the person who inspired me to be better, and I wanted you to be proud of me, but now I understand something." I say, getting up and going at him, putting my hands on his shoulders.
"You are not worthy."
"You are not worthy of my love, of my care, of my respect, and you are not worthy of being called a father." And I bring my knee to his chest, breaking his ribs.
Huh, I already got my super strength.
Nice
He cried out in pain and surprise at the hit.
"Would you look at that?, It appears that one of the ribs punctured your left lung." Damn Dick training as a Robin was top notch to me realize that
"At the moment, your lungs are getting full of blood, and you are drowning in your own blood."
He wheezed, coughed up blood, and fell on his knees with me still holding him by his shoulders.
His gaze never leaves mine.
"But don't worry, I'm not letting you die."
I said while giving my most mocking and devilish smirk.
"After all, I can't let the new daddy around here die." I say, and unbeknownst to me, my eyes flash a demonic red.
It was a split second, but Batman saw
And made the Dark Knight terrified.
I take my phone call. Alfred
Trimmm
Trimmm
Awakard
"Bad Reception." The response that I got was a wheeze of pain.
Then Alfred finally picked up
"Master Dick It's so good to hear from you. How can I be at your service your today ?" Alfred says, and I can actually hear his smile making me smile too.
"Hey Al, I'm just calling for two things; don't worry, this is going to be a quick call. The first one is if you knew that Barbara was cheating on me with Bruce." I genuinely ask, making Bruce look at me in shock.
Huh
I guess he didn't tell Al.
My answer is immediately when I hear the sound of something breaking.
"THEY DID WHAT!!?" Alfred shouted, making him put the phone away from his sensitive ears.
"Soooo they didn't tell you, I see, Al, I need you to send the Batwing to extract Batman; he currently has his entire ribcase broken and a punctured lung." I hear Alfred gasp and the sound of his running footsteps in what I assume is the batcave.
"My goodness, what happened?" Alfred asks in concern
He may be furious with Bruce, but he can't help but fear for the man he sees as his son.
"Me Al....me"
"Barbara, she is pregnant with his child." Again, I hear Al gasp; damn, I think I'm going to give him a heart attack.
"I snapped and lost control, but don't worry, I am stabilizing now." And on cue, I grab a batarang, open it up, and stab him on his left side directly into his punctured lung, drawing the blood out and making him able to breathe better.
"Al, he is stable now but weak."
"It's okay, Master Dick Batwing is on his way." Alfred says in sorrow, knowing that what Bruce did just destroyed his family, the Batfamily.
"Although we both know that isn't a comeback for this,"
"I know, son. I know.'
"I'm going to go, see the world, and try to find my place on him. I just want....I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your kindness, your gentleness, your infinite patience while trying to teach me how to dance, your wisdom when I was confused, and thank you for loving me. If you're going to see me again in a year or in ten, I just want to tell you that." I say I am smiling with tears streaming down my eyes as I remember Dick Memories, My Memories, and from the sounds coming from the phone, Alfred is doing the same.
Hell, even Batman is crying.
"Goodbye Alfred." And with that, I end the call.
I look at Batman and wipe my tears.
"Listen to me, Bruce, and listen well."
You failed me; do not fail your child!"
And with that, I jump from the roof to another and another.
First part done, now the next, and I am free.
On the other side of Gotham
Barbara Gordon walks down the street.
Depressed
She is pregnant, but not with the child of the man she loves.
But with the child made out of an affair with a man who is basically the father of her loved one
She can't feel more disgusted; she feels dirty; she feels like a whore.
She just destroyed her life. His life
All these depressed thoughts are pushed back into her mind when she hears a scream coming from the alley next to her.
She quickly bolts in there, her vigilante institics screaming at her, and at the same time, her newly motherly institics screaming at her to go home.
She ignores the last one and gets in the alley.
She enters the alley and sees three men with knives attempting to steal a woman and rape her.
Barbara jumps into action and punches the bandit on the right of the woman, knocking him out.
Staring at the other two, using this distracion, she kicks the bandit that was in the middle between the legs, incapacitating him.
She turned to the last bandit standing, and the two started throwing punches.
Barbara was dodging all the hits and hitting a couple times when suddenly the victim screamed, making her lose attention. The bandit, seeing this, went to punch her in the middle of her abdomen.
A punch in there normally wouldn't do much damage, but with Barbara pregnant, it was a high risk.
Barbara, seeing the punch coming, tries to dodge it, but she can't. She fears for her unborn child, her mother's institics shouting at her, how she failed the man she loves, and how she will fail her child.
When the punch is going to connect with Barbara's belly
Two loud sounds are heard.
BANG BANG
The hand, forearm, and arm of the bandit that was going to hit her are completely gone, and instead there is a large gush of warm blood that hits her clothed belly.
"AHHHHHHH." The bandit screamed, clutching his now-unexistent right arm, crying in pain.
*One thing that I like about this gif is how the blood hits the camera at the end.*
Barbara turns to face where the shots came from, and she sees them from the entrance of the alley.
Dick
Richard Grayson
The man that she loves-the man that she cheated on-is holding two magnificent handguns.
One is black as night with golden patterns, and the other is light as the sun, shinning in the sunlight.
He clicked his tongue in his mouth and shook his head in a disapproving manner.
"No..no..no..hitting a pregnant woman, how despicable of you." Dick says while pointing his gun at the other two bandits that froze at the sight of him.
"Hey, you two assholes, why don't you guys grab your friend Lefty overhere and beat it?" The two men grab their friend, who is screaming and crying in pain, and run away.
"Hmph Jackasses." Dick says, and he turns and walks to the woman who was being mugged.
"Ok, lady, the evil men are gone now. Go." Dick says he's usually not caring much about the victim, and it scares me.
Dick always cares.
and now he doesn't even give a damn?
"Huhhhh." The woman trailers off, not knowing what to say.
She almost got mugged and raped, and she saw a guy get his arm chopped off by a bullet.
"Quickly to the south." Dick said while giving rapid claps with his hands.
Breaking the woman from her shock, she started to walk away from the alley.
Not before giving a quick hug and thanking you and doing the same for Dick.
Dick just waved her off and shouted:
"Don't go wandering in dark alleys, that's how Bruce Wayne's parents got bodies, Bye."Dick shouted while waving at the woman's retracting figure.
He stops weaving and turns to me.
His expression becomes serious, and he asks
"How is it going, Barbara?"
15 minutes ago
"Ok, from what I remember from the comics, after Bruce and Dick's conversation, Barbara tries to stop a robbery but gets hurt and loses the baby." I'm trying to find a way to locate her.
I may hate her and Batman with all my being, but that child is inocent.
I will not let an innocent child die before it has a chance to breathe.
So how do I find a redhead in Gotham?
Seeing that it's my first time here,
I mean, I have Dick OG's memories to help, but doing yourself is a different thing.
Ok, using Dick OG's memories, I remember arriving in Gotham, meeting Barbara, and fucking Barbara, which was weird because she let me finish inside her, which she never let me do. I fucking bet she was trying to play off that the child is mine.
Wait
I finished inside, which means she has my semen inside of her, which means she has a bit of my nephilim energy on her. Using my ability to sense supernatural creatures that I got from Nero, I can find her.
I find the most tall rooftop and take a stand and focus.
"Ok, Devil Bringer. Come on, Devil Bringer." I say, closing my eyes and concentrating, and I start to feel my right arm burning.
I focus on this feeling; it is a slight hurt, but the feeling of power is unbelievable, and when I feel the burning sensation stop, I open my eyes and see one of the most beautiful sights of all.
The Devil's Bringer
My Devil's Bringer
I move my arm around quickly, getting used to it.
Ok, enough fanboying about it. I've got work to do.
I move around trying to feel anything. I point my arm when I feel a tingly sensation. When I turn to the north, the Devil Bringer starts to glow a bright blue, and I know that I have found her and quickly bolt after her.
Jumping from roof to roof with superhuman agility, strength, and speed, I made 2 km in 10 minutes.
When I arrive, I see the whole situation with the bandits and Barbara.
I use my Devil Bringer to feel the remnants of my energy fading away from her body.
That's good I wouldn't want her or her baby with my powers.
I decide to sit back and watch and only intervene if things go south.
I dismiss Devil Bringer, and my right arm goes back to his human-looking appearance, and I jump down at the entrance of the alley, keeping my eyes on the fight, when I see that Barbara lost her attention after the victim screamed, and that's when I intervene.
"Ebony and ivory!" I think over and over again and see the two most smoking hot guns materialize in my hands, and I do something that I have always wanted to do since I played DMC 3.
"!!! JACKPOT!!!" And I shot the bandit's arm off, and the bandit released a bloodcurdling scream while clutching his bloody missing arm.
I click my tongue and start to walk to them.
"No..no..no...hitting a pregnant woman, how despicable of you." I said, shaking my head in dissaproving manner.
"Hey, you two assholes, why don't you guys grab your friend Lefty overhere and beat it?" I say, jerking my thumb to the bandit now known as Lefty, and the "Dumb and Dumber" quickly grab Lefty and run, leaving a trail of blood and screams.
"Hmph Jackasses." I snorted at them, then turned to the lady who was being mugged.
"Ok, lady, the evil men are gone now. Go." I say, "Waving her off."
Both Barbara and the victim look at me incredulously.
"Huhhhh." The woman trailers off, not knowing what to say.
Oh, the poor gal must be in shock.
Yeah, it happens.
"Quickly to the south." I say while giving rapid claps with his hands to shake off her shock.
Snapping the woman out of her shock, she started to walk away from the alley.
Not before giving a quick hug and thank you to Barbara and me.
I just waved her off and shouted,
"Don't go wandering in dark alleys that's how Bruce Wayne's parents got bodies Bye."I shouted while waving at the woman's retracting figure.
With the look Barbara is giving me, I can sense that some bullshit is coming right up.
"Ok, before you say whatever you want to say, let's go to the rooftops so that nobody gets in the way of our talk." I say I'm climbing up the fire escape ladder with Barbara following me.
When we arrive at the top, I turn to Barbara.
"Dick, what have you done?" Barbara is looking at me horrified.
"I just saved your cheating ass and your unborn child's life, so be extra nice to me now." I said, and she froze when I pointed out that I knew about her pregnancy.
"Dick, I am so sor-"
"Ok, I'm going to stop you right there; we're going to have a unilateral conversation, which means I'm going to do the talking and you're going to listen capsice!." I say I'm cutting her off, and she nods.
"I arrived in Gotham two days ago, not one; I arrived sooner so that I could get this." I say and pull out the engagement ring and show her.
Her eyes start to gather tears, but I don't care.
"I wanted to marry you, to make you Mrs. Grayson, but unfortunately, you decided to sleep with my dad and got pregnant." I say bluntly and now she is full-blown crying, but I don't care.
"Batman and I had a little talk a couple minutes ago; it was a very...expressive talk. One that ended with his ribcase completely shattered and his lung punctured." I say it casually, making her gasp.
"Don't worry, he's still alive. I called Alfred and let him know where to find him. After all, I can't let anything happen to your baby daddy, am I right?" I say this while climbing to the edge of the roof and walking loosely on drawing Barbara's attention to me.
She thinks I'm going to jump.
Oh, I feel so cared for and loved right now.
Please note the sarcasm.
"I realized that you two are not worthy of my love, my attention, or my care; you two deserve each other, two leeches that can't and won't ever be able to feel happiness."
She only cries harder after this.
I take a deep breath and say,
"This child that you are carrying, Barbara, is a gift, a chance of redemption, a chance of something new; I don't know if I will ever see you again, so I leave to you the same message that left Bruce: YOU FAILED ME, DO NOT FAIL YOUR CHILD." And with that, I jumped off the roof, hearing Barbara screaming my name.
"DICK!!." Barbara screamed
She ran to the edge of the roof, trying to see if the man she loved had really killed himself, but when she looked, she saw that there was nothing.
Like he just disappeared out of thin air.
With Dick/Dante
So I am finally free of this bullshit with the batfamily, and I know Batman will try to look after me when he heals.
So I need to find somewhere that not even Batman can find me.
And right on cue, a portal opens, and I am dragged inside.
When I open my eyes, I see myself in a very familiar place
The Void
And I see a mansion inside.
All doors are open, so it is easy to get inside. When I arrived in the central hall, I found a note on golden paper.
"I hope you like it. Consider this a gift for sacrificing yourself for saving that woman."
Signed God"
I explore the mansion, seeing the kitchen and the bedrooms, and I find the training room, which is The Void.
I take off my dirty clothes and put on some training clothes.
"It's time to work out these new powers."
It's time to master my devil and angelic powers.
