Batfam × Neglected Reader! (Villain).
SYPNOSIS: After being ressuracted the only thing on your mind was vengeance, to bring pain to your family who wronged you
WARNING: Gore, Angst, mental issues, batfam are portrait as bad people ( purely for this au only).
The last thing you could remember was the smell of iron before you close your eyes. Flashes of lights appeard, the cold embracing you.
The dark grab onto yout drifting body, dragging you into slumber yet your body refused the temptation much to your dismay... Your eyelids heavy yet it seems like they have a mind of their own... They wouldn't close.
Where is everyone? Are they alright? Where am I? I want to see them...
The sensation of water entering your nostrils woke you up from the train of thoughts.
Your eyes shot open as the glaring light from above enters.
You were drowing, not in water... atleast you think, water isn't green. If you're remembering correctly.
Trying to find a place to stand up you desperately move your leg around, searching for the floor of the green liquid.
Your head hurt, your vision is blurry and everything feels heavy yet dropping wasn't an option.
Atlast your foot found a rock to stand on, now that your initial worries are gone you look up, observing your surroundings.
Rocks, high and steep... you're in some sort of cave surrounded by some sort of soldiers... and Ra and Talia... Does this mean, you died?
"Wh-Where is my family?!"
You ask, your voice shaking... even talking hurt, feels like a fork grazing your throat from the inside.
"...Still foolish enough to care about them?"
Ra spoke, from your view it felt as if he was mocking you... looking down ot the once glorious bat now just a wingless bat that is for no use.
"I'll kill every last of your kind if you dare-!"
A much more soothing voice appear, Talia. But wasn't she right next to Ra, it appears your state right now is making you quite vulnerable.
"Do you remember anything? Before we bring you back to life?"
You suspect that was the case. Why else would you be here? Why else would your body and adrenaline be this high at this moment.
Talia step into the pit, her hand out stretch waiting for you to take it.
Could you really trust a villain that almost killed you and your family? Yes. There is no other option.
Taking her hand she drag you out the Lazarus pit.
"Think, before this... the warehouse, the betrayal... Everything you've known is nothing but lies"
Talia spoke as her gaze landed on your eyes... And a relieve sigh left her mouth after she confirmed what she was checking.
You remember abit, no... you remember everything now.
That night, the warehouse... joker, everyone... Everyone.
You couldn't help as hot tears rolled down your eyes. Your hands on your face as you recollect your memories about everything.
That night, there was a vote. Everyone in the family, the joker gave a command... To vote who get's to die.
For an hour you all sit trying to get out yet nothing worked...
"... We'll get out, don't worry"
Dick noticing your nervousness assured you, his ability to stay calm under any situation amaze you...
Dick was the older brother that planned all the bad stuff to do together, he was fun and because of him you learn that life shouldn't be full of negativity and paranoia even as a vigilante.
He taught you how to be carefree and enjoy life. He himself might not enjoy it but he was willing to pretend for you, he doesn't like to c
" 'TT', it's truly amusing to watch you panick because of a mere washed up clown. No wonder you barely catch anything good"
Damian commented as well which made Barabara abit annoyed at him for even speaking up while you were clearly in a bad position.
"Now isn't the time to pick a fight". Barbara spoke.
Barbara was truly the most admirable for you, she was kind, loving, caring just everything you wish to be as a lady... Not to mention she's quite attractive and charming.
Her head turns to look at you and a smile crep up her face, you left alot better. Afterall she was indeed the first to help you settle at the manor when you arrive.
She was there at your first crush, heartbreak, period and even embarrassing days.
"Don't worry, im- we're here... Well beat his ass to the gutter in a matter of a minute"
She assured you, her encouraging words striking you.
"Right, I have you guy's..."
There is no reason to worry... Your family is here afterall, after years of being family you can't help but almost cry from being so lucky.
To be picked up from the dirt and having q chance with this family, you wanted to cry. To say that you're extremely greatful for them loving you and not treating you like strangers.
"I still cannot believe he got us all here, it's impressed even"
Tim spoke up, it is indeed weird on how he managed to catch every of the Batfamly expect Alfred and Bruce himself.
Something doesn't feel right, he should be here by now yet there was no sign of Bruce, not even another league members.
The whole batfamily just gone during a random Friday night should be a big event, afterall friday is the biggest time for crime to spike up.
"Ah... I see, enjoying your precious family meeting?"
A voice entered the room, you couldn't see who but you know who it is from that irritating voice. The joker.
The way you were position didn't allow you to see much of the clown but evryone else heads turns, face contoured with disgust, hatred, announce and wanting to beat him up.
"Oh now c'mon... what's with those faces? That's not a very nice expression to someone who makes a special game for the family..."
The door was kick shut, you assumed by Harley. The chick who is obessed with the clown and from the look of it... You might consider being a villain of a literal clown can have a girl like Harley.
"I sweat to God. I will bash your head into mush when im out from here"
Jason threaten the clown, who doesn't seem phase at all rather quite pleased by the bold plan.
"Right, that is if you survive my special game"
Everyone either sigh or rolled their eyes in pure announce. Was this new? No... He's full of games that no one wants to play.
"Oh c'mon! It's a good game, right pumpkin?"
His head turn to Harley who was always with him right and wrong, mostly wrong.
"Right Puddin! We made sure it'll bring out your emotions in full display just from winning!"
Harley happy as ever explain, you can't help but feel this sensation. That something was wrong.
Another part of you told you that doubting your own family and Bruce wasn't right, maybe the fact that you're a coward was holding you back... Great. Absolutely great.
"As you can see, we'll give everyone a fare change to vote a person... To meet my new friend"
Joker explain, his tone turning almost sinister yet the uncanny smile of his was the most off putting.
"Only one loser, the rest can celebrate their victory... it'll be the best victor you'll every taste"
Joker further explained, Harley behind her was proudly showing her bat to everyone... swinging it around with a smug grin on her face.
"No worries, it's not my baby tho... Rather it's a new friend that me and Mr. J are very proud of! "
A sigh of relief left your mouth as you tried so fucking hard to hide the sweat rolling down your forehead.
Dick gaze landed on Jason who was quiet, too quiet. His gaze was on Harley's bat and he was very in thought... Too deep in thought.
Stephanie finally speak up as she sigh, she wasn't in the mood for shit. Afterall she told you that her and her boyfriend broke up previously, Joker and Harley little scheme would just annoy her more than anything could ever.
"I did not plan on spending today with shein make-up clown and his crazy chick... Whatever, better than condiment man"
Barbara replied to Stephanie, only you knew about Stephanie's love life fully. Barbara only knew about the break up.
"Anything is better than that guy, I rather face death itself than cleaning my suit at three in the morning again, I refuse"
Tim added, his hatred for that man runs deep in his blood. He always cure the guy whenever he could, afterall Tim was the only person who was affected by the guy both hero and civilian.
Always showing up during Tim's patrol and running Tim's date by spraying condiment which ruined the date for Tim.
"I see, no one here seems to he comically afraid... That's great to see of course, I wouldn't want to start with such a bad atmosphere"
Joker spoke up again, this time his hand was on Jason's shoulder and Jason was ready to bite Jokers fingers off.
"Pumpkin, why don't you take it from here... I'll meet our special loser at my office"
With that said he left the room, Harley smile wider which was terrifying as hell. She always smile like a lunatic and now she looks like a lunatic on special drugs.
you mutter to yourself. The place itself scared you and seeing Harley smile was scary she should consider not smiling anymore, it brings agony more than anything else.
Being a literal 15 years old and being the youngest with a set of problem doesn't help the fact that you're a vigilante.
You're the clingest of them, have an attachment issue especially from Bruce because he gave you the fatherly love you wish for... And now the thought of anything bad happening wasn't helping your issue.
"Now, shall we vote the loser?"
Harley spoke out once again.
The rule was to vote the loser simple and everyone knew what the loser would face, surely everyone would vote for themselves and evryone will be safe.
So you opted to vote for yourself. Yet, doubt filled your head maybe what if someone didn't think like you at all? No, you're overthinking because... You're the least intelligent here and all so yeah... if you can find a solution so can evryone.
Harley with that uncanny smile on her face was announcing now.
She was walking around like a predator trying to catch it's prey, she stop behind you.
Before you could even blink or look at anyone a blow was sent straight to your head.
Harley had hit you with her bat, blood spilling from where she hit you as well, spewing down onto your suit.
"Ah shit! You're supposed to be unconscious... Whatever, make it better for puddin!"
Harley chriped, holding onto the wooden chair you were on as she drag it...
Your blood dropping on the floor, your eyes blurred and you watch as your family sat there silently watching you.
You mutter out but no one dare to even scream, protest or even try to struggle to get to you.
The screetching sound of the end of the wooden chair being dragged against the concrete ground ring all around.
Duke asked confused on why everyone was acting this way. For Duke everything was utterly new, afterall this was his second week with the family.
Dick spoke, his face turn into something even Duke have never seen before, so dark and lifeless...
"Isn't she our sister..? Why are we letting them take her! Hey! Fucking Harley! Batman is coming you better not touch our sis-"
Barbara cut him off which Duke was most confused about.
Wouldn't Barbara be the one to be more desperate than he was about you being taken away? He saw you and Barbara together alot.
Dick commanded, he glared at the younger one, Duke felt his blood turning cold. What. The. Hell.
The only thing you remember after that is beating upon beating.
"Oho! You like that? How about the front? Or is the back better?"
Joker asked as he swung pipe wrench again and again.
Your blood spewing all over the room as Harley was just watching fully entertained by watching you be in pain.
"Ah! Please!... Stop! Im sorry... Father! Please help me... Please help me! Dick! Barbara! Ti-m! Anyone... Anyone...."
You plead desperately, curling yourself to protect yourself from the brutal blow you were getting back to back.
"Oh look at the bat curling up... So cute, ain't it pumpkin? Help me out and let's stretched it's wing..."
Joker looked at Harley with that smile as Harley laugh, you can't even see shit properly.
It's been hours, hours of beating and no sign of Bruce... He should be here by now? Why isn't he- Why isn't he here? Why... You really missed him.
In the other room your siblings were in utter silence, Jason was provoke by the sound of your pleading, desperation and the horrifying sound of your bones breaking, flesh being torn.
"...Jason? It's alright... Im sorry you have to hear this"
Dick was trying to comfort him.
Duke on the other hand was disgusted by everyone he thought he knew in just a feq week.
"She's dying and you're comforting him instead of yknow? Trying to save her? Why is everyone so dull... She's dying! C'mon, you guy's told me family doesn't leave eachother to suffer... Family help... Don't we?"
Duke asked, on the verge of crying because hearing you cry and begged for mercy for an hour straight was breaking him.
You were so kind to him, you are the youngest and he swore everyone love you dearly... But why is everyone so unaffected by the sound of you dying?
After breaking your leg Harley stood proudly, like a child admiring her science project.. Smiling as if the first position was promised to her.
You could barely open your eyes... Everything hurt like hell...
The next thing you remember was being dragged out into the cold by Joker goons, the cold feeling of that rope around your neck as you watch helplessly.
"hey yknow... Batman should be here by now right?"
One of the goon asked confused as hell, the smelling was metal was strong and seeing your disshaveled look was hard to see even for the goon.
Your left leg was facing the wrong way and your hair was disshaveled with your blood and tears sticking them together, the coldness embracing you.
"That's what I thought... usually he would be here before boss can lay his hand on her... Maybe old age caught him?"
The other goon suggest as the other was not impressed by his comments rather pissed off by his idiocy.
"Whatever, when the police arrived we drop the mask freak... If he arrived, we do it too... It's order we must not leave until we hear her neck break..."
As soon as he said that the siren of police cars could be heard.
Great, seems like everything in the world was rooting to see you hang like an ornament.
"Shit! Drop her fast! Im not getting caught before Christmas, I need to spend time with my kid or mom will kill me"
The other said as he pick your body up with a hint of struggle, you could see the edge clearly now...
"...Bruce... Father, please... Im sorry... I should be stronger- Forgive me"
You mutter out, your words barely coherent and you don't even remember saying such words or thinking about it.
Tasting death while clinging onto your family made you this low...
With a swift move he push you off the edge, for a moment you feel free, the coldness embracing you warmly in a way.
Until the rope around your neck suddenly tightening, you struggle at first your eye's popping red from the sudden lack of oxygen.
The chief watching in horror as the body of a child was hang infront of him, on the walls of te building in res wrote.
* Enjoy my gift that meets your personal need, Batsy * * - Joker *.
"God... where is that dark knight at? He can't even protect his own"
"...He can protect his own"
He repeated himself as if he just realised something really important.
"... Something is wrong..."
He mutters under his breath as he looked away from your hanging body, your body rearranged to the point he cannot even recognise you, the suit and the mask was the only reason he knew you were a bat.
That was all you remembered, your last memory... Your last breath was spent thinking of the family that watch you die, how pitiful.
"It can't be... Why? Why do I have to die when we can all survive...?"
tears rolling down your cheeks as you fall onto the ground... Talia crouch as well.
Cupping your face and wipping your tears away like a mother would, her touch so gentle you almost lean into you... God you really are starved, even a simple gesture of kindness was enough to knock you over.
"It's simple, Bruce doesn't need you anymore and dispose you... The rest knew too, that's why they didn't fight for you. For years your family despite you, seeing a chance to get rid of you... they took it"
she explained, acting as if she ever cared before. She pull you into a hug a tight and one that make you feel safe.
"Im sorry, my little angel, you must be so scared and lonely but im here... we're here"
She muttered, you could smell her expensive purfume as well.
Talia looked up to meet his father's eyes with a knowing smile she went back to being pitiful for you.
"...Why? They love me? They wouldn't... They love me... they do!"
you were stubborn as always but Talia knew your weakness. They knew everything.
"If they love you so much wouldn't he safe you faster... when he had atleast four hour before you die... No one reach for when you were sent to die... Only we can help you"
Talia suggested as she take your hands, with a soft smile she opened up.
"They would know your corpse is gone by now... But they don't, cause your grave... isn't even in the manor"
She said as you could hear your heart shatter inside your rib.
"Bruce that night, was... busy with nothing... sweetie, he knew, everyone but you knew that you'll die... So he let it happen, you're just a burden to his life"
Talia calmly explain as you feel every fiber inn your body standing up.
"In going to kill them all. Every one of them."
You promised, Talia eyes widen to hear such word from you of all people... her plan was going too well.
"Oh sweetheart... I'll help you"
Her voice was just like a mother, her plan was working... Your eyes turning somewhat green as your anger flared, the Lazarus pit was affecting you greatly and it shown.
Your anger was unnatural, maybe because the only thing you knew before death was betrayal aab violence? Whatever it was... you need to take it out on them.
"My own family, never loved me... Why? this won't hurt as much as it did if they told me..."
"... I'll... kill them- All".
All those years you spent loving your family was just for nothing, years of trying to fit in was nothing... The truth hit you hard, they never loved you. It was a trick... How pathetic of you to be so blinded by them...
But no worries, you'll uncover the truth piece by piece... even if you have to hurt the people you once loved.
This isn't very good but I just might come out of my writer block.
