Do you even care?

tough loving

Thalia briskly walked through the great halls that she had grown up and slaughtered in as she made her way to her fathers throne room. It was time to end her misery and everyone else's misery along the way.

When she shoved the doors open it was to her father's back facing her.

"Ah, Thalia, my daughter. How have you been?" His slimy voice put Thalia on edge but she powered on, knowing that she had to do this for the sake of her son.

"I shall be better the moment you die." Thalia said this as if they were discussing the weather and her father replied in kind.

"Oh is that so? And why is that?" The demon head had turned around to face his daughter and Thalia could see a smirk on his face and a condescending look in his eyes. All it did was power her motivation even more.

"You have ruined everything for me. It is only right that I destroy you once and for all. For my sake and for my son's." Thalia stood her ground firmly and she slowly walked up to her father, taking her sword out. "I wouldn't expect you of all people to understand that."

Her father opened his mouth. Maybe to mock or question her more, she did not know and she did not care. She swung her sword at him and had it been anyone except for the man standing before her she would have killed them in an instant. Unfortunately, this was also the same man who trained her since she was a mere infant. How irritating.

Thalia knew the likeliness that she would win was slim but she had to try. She has to prove that she loves her son or everything would have been all for nothing.

However, both to their mutual surprise, Ra's was the one kneeling down with his neck for grabs.

Thalia took in a deep breath, her wounds oozing blood.

Ra's merely smirked "Well what are you going to do now, dear daughter?" He Mocked.

Thalia stared, hoping just for a glimmer of regret and just maybe…love in his eyes but she just stared into two deep empty pools that held no warmth nor compassion, only cruel hatred.

"I will finish you."

However, her vision went blank just as she watched her fathers head roll around on the ground.

"What to wear, what to wear?" Fretted Selina as she dug through her closet, trying to find something to wear on her date with her fiance.

Originally, Selina hadn't wanted to go but when Damian had looked up at the two of them with those puppy eyes and begged for his parents to go she couldn't refuse and that's how she had ended up in this predicament.

"Jesus christ why isn't there anything hood here?" She snapped as she threw yet another black dress.

"What's up kitty cat?" A familiar voice called out to her and she turned to see Harely and Ivy both looking at her worriedly.

Selina stared before she felt her eyes well up with tears and the two rushed to her.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to wear!" She sobbed even though they all knew that the situation ran deeper than just that.

"You can always wear nothing!" Ivy joked only for Harley to stare at her with her disappointed look "What? I'm pretty sure Wayne won't mind!" She defended

At the mention of her loves name she couldn't help but sob louder.

"Hey hey.." Harley shushed her calmly, patting her hair. "Look lina, you really don't won't to go on this date then don't. I'm sure Damian will understand." At her confused look she elaborated "Kinda figured it out by how hopeful he looked."

"I…want to see Bruce again. It's just, I'm scared that one of us might say something and that'll start an argument."

"Then don't. Don't say anything. Just stare up at the stars and cuddle." Ivy recommended.

"Great idea babe!" Harley declared leaning to give her girlfriend a kiss.

Suddenly, they heard a knock from the door. Selina wiped her face and quickly stood up "Come in!" She called out.

"Hey." Low and behold there stood Bruce Wayne in a suit and a bouquet of flowers.

"We'll just get going." Ivy excused her and her girlfriend, quickly walking out.

The two lovers stood, from opposite sides of the room, awkward silence and tension thick enough to be able to slice with a knife.

"Bruce i-" selina was interrupted as her husband crossed the room and gathered her in his arms.

"I'm so sorry." Selina could hear the fear, the sadness and the guilt in his voice and she couldn't help but sob, finally letting everything out again.

Bruce merely held her, running his hand through her hair, gently rocking them as she cried her heart out.

As her sobs started to calm down he looked down at her and gave her nose a little kiss laughing as she scrunched her nose up.

"Hey love" He chuckled as she blushed and smirked at him.

"Hey handsome. Those flowers for me?" She flirted.

Her fiance laughed and she couldn't help the giggle that escaped her.

"I need to get ready" She told him  as he looked around her closet and noticed all the clothes on the ground.

"You could always wear nothing" he told her with a smirk on his face and she licked her lips.

It's been so long…

"How about this." He whispered in her ear, voice low "wear a little dress and then when we get home you won't have to worry about it."

She gasped audibly at the idea and squeezed her thighs and his smirk only grew larger.

"I'll be waiting." And then he kissed her, deep. By the time he had pulled back she was out of breath and dizzy. He walked away but not before giving her ass as a small squeeze and she smirked.

Oh she was going to enjoy tonight.

"Oh hey little bat!" Cooed Harley as she hugged Cass.

The girl smiled happy and hugged the blonde with just as much force.

Ivy smiled at the young girl and patted her head.

"So what did you wanna talk about?" Harely asked as she picked the little girl up, looking into her deep brown eyes.
