Wolf Of Gothem Batman The Animated Series Tim Drake/ Robin X OC Alexis

Return of the Joker PT 2

"I still can't believe you are still doing this stuff. Didn't Bruce tell you he wanted you to stop fighting back as well?" Barbara asks as she and Alexis are taking care of Bruce.

"Yea but it's in my blood to help others and right wrongs. I can't just stop now. Besides I'm quite fine on my own. It's a sad way to live but it's doable all the same." Alexis says.

"So I see you met terry. He said you showed him your face." Barbara says.

"Oh yes. He still has a lot to learn but I think he'll do fine. But as far as my face I did it so he would know I'm a friend. I don't do that unless I see your trusty worthy." Alexis says.

"Like you did with Tim and Bruce?" Barbara asks.

"Something like that." Alexis says as she laughs slightly as Terry comes in upon seeing Alexis he looks at her shocked.

"Hey your that woman I saw the other day." Terry says.

"Quite right dear. Told you I was an old friend. But to be clear I do have a name. It's Alexis." Alexis says.

"So how is he?" Terry asks.

"The anti toxins done all it can. It's up to him now." Barbara says.

"He'll pull through. He's a fighter. Always has been." Alexis says.

"Thanks for coming. I didn't know who else to call." Terry says.

"Who else is there?" Barbara asks.

"That reminds me. I better check on our other patient." Terry says as he leaves to go check on Ace. Barbara and Alexis then walk into the room a Terry turns off the tv after seeing the news.

"Not every creepy in Gotham wears a purple suit." Terry says.

"It make my job simpler if they did." Barbara says.

"Be a lot more easy that's for sure." Alexis says.

"The Joker knew about Bruce, about me, and probably about the two of you too." Terry says as he puts the tv remote down.

"Someone knows I'll give you that one. But it's not the Joker and if it is I very highly doubt it. Not the real one." Alexis says.

"It couldn't be." Barbara says.

"Bruce said he was dead." Terry says.

"And?" Barbara asks.

"That's it. I know there's more. I'm apart of this. I need the answers Bruce can't give me. I deserve them." Terry says.

"What you may think you deserve may not be what you need. But I will warn you what your about to hear you may not like." Alexis says sadly.

"I thought talking about it would get easier over time. But some hurts never go away." Barbara says sadly as she goes over to a window.

"It's not only you Barbara. It still pains me very much as well. But if he insists than he should know." Alexis says as she goes over to Barbara placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Dick Grayson Nightwing had left to establish himself in another city. There were four of us then. Bruce, Alexis Rose who is now Silver Wolf, myself, and Robin Tim Drake. Robin was out alone that night when he came upon a woman in trouble." Barbara says.

"We had soon realized Tim was missing. Night after night we scowered the city. Running down every lead. Pressing down every underworld direction but no one had seen any sign of Robin. For three agonizing weeks there was nothing." Alexis says sadly.

"Then one night we were sent an invitation. We had Alexis stay back with Alfred while we went out that night. The asylum had been moved to a newer location with newer high security. The old building had been partially demolished and hung open like a rotting wound. But what we soon discovered there was far worse than we ever imagined. We buried the Joker deep beneath Arkum. The only other people who knew what happened that night was Alexis and my father the first commissioner Gordon. He promised to keep our secret. With his last act of cruelty the Joker had tainted us all with compromise and deception. I suppose he had the last laugh after all." Barbara says sadly.

"I'm assuming his girlfriend bought it too." Terry says.

"We never found her body but I doubt she'd be starting trouble now." Barbara says.

"And Tim?" Terry asks.

"We had a trusted friend doctor Leslie Thompkins. It took her a year but she was able to help Tim back to sanity still things were never really the same. Bruce forbade Tim to be Robin again and he forbade me to be Rose again but you saw how that went with me. He blamed himself for what happened and swore he'd never endanger another young partner. Tim left us soon after that. Determined to make it on his own. I left not long after Tim did. He was my boyfriend at the time and I swore I would always be there for him but after what happened we haven't said a word to each other since. I did find him eventually but I never let him know I was there watching over him. I was afraid of how he would react so I stayed in the shadows keeping a protective loving eye on him and eventually became Silver Wolf. We may never talk again but I'll never let him be alone like the both of us were once in our lives as kids." Alexis says.

"Did they ever patch things up?" Terry asks.

"Tim tried once or twice but you know Bruce. Tim even wanted to patch things up with Alexis but he told me he hadn't tried because he was afraid but he knew in his heart she was never far from him which he is correct about. I check up on Tim now and then. He's a top level communications engineer isn't married due to still caring very much for Alexis. Too bad those two won't talk face to face but still sweet how loyal to each other they are. Not too bad all things concerned." Barbara says as she begins to walk off with Alexis.

"He deserved a happy ending but he still has the most likely connection to that night." Terry says.
