#the dark knight: legacy

Prologue

Hell.

Hell can be classified as different things, you can use it as an emotion. Claiming you "feel like hell", It can be a place, where sinners land after they die, but it can also be classified as an experience. You can experience hell in any form. However, no one has ever felt hell like that of Violet June Hernandez.

She was a normal girl, with normal hobbies but not much of a normal background. If anything, she would give anything to feel normal. Her childhood was normal until it wasn't.

"What do you want?" Selina asked the tall man at the door, he was graying but he was well groomed. He wore red shades to hide away at his brown eyes. He had a mustache and somewhat tan skin.

Selina was shorter than him, her hair cut into a pixie cut, her brown siren eyes shooting daggers at the man as he grinned at her. A cold, menacing grin.

"I just wanted to know why I haven't seen you at the Iceberg. You okay honey?" He asked her even though she didn't want him to speak. He knew she knew he knew, yet he didn't believe it.

"None of your damn business, now leave," She warned him, he didn't listen, he wanted the proof, he wanted to know why she was barely showing up to work, and when she did show up why she wasn't showing up her usual self. Until he saw it himself.

His gaze left hers as he saw a little girl, she's about seven years old, in a Disney princess nightgown holding a black kitten. She has Selina's big brown eyes yet the gaze of someone he knew, someone he despised.

"Cute kid, she your sister?" He asked as he returned his gaze to Selina. Selina's eyes widened as she turned around and saw her daughter, she had a scared expression on her face. Selina rushed up to her as the little girl's eyes began to water.

"Violet, honey, why aren't you in bed? You should be asleep," Selina mumbled to her young daughter as she brushed down the stray hairs on her little head, Violet hiccuped and let out a shaky breath.

"Mama, I'm scared, who is that man?" The little mutter softly, as Selina kissed her forehead and wiped the straggled tears from her chubby cheeks. Violet was the spitting image of her mother, the curls, the lips, the nose, and the eyes but her gaze wasn't of Selina's, no, it was someone else's gaze. Someone they should never ever mention.

"Who's her father, kid?" He asked Selina as she didn't look back at him. She was only worried about calming Violet down so she could go to bed. Selina took the black kitten gently as it meowed softly. Selina looked at Violet and grabbed the girl's little hand. Selina stood up and sighed.

"Come on, princess, let's get you to bed," She whispered to Violet. The girl looked at the man and then looked at her mother, she nodded at her mother's words and Selina took her to her room and placed her on the bed gently.

"That man, is a bad man, baby," Selina told her young as she tucked her in. The child looked at her mom, who looked frantic.

"Why is he here mommy?" She asked gently as Selina placed the small kitten next to her. Selina looked at her child, those eyes of hers makes Selina want to start crying. It is unbelievable how someone so damaged was able to make someone so beautiful, she was the luckiest woman on Earth to have such a beautiful baby girl.

"He wanted to see if I was going to work today, that's why I need you to sleep, take care of little Salem, I will be back later, okay?" She asked as the kid could do that. The girl nodded and the older woman smiled softly. She leaned down and kissed the young's forehead.

"Sweet dreams, Vivi, you make me the happiest woman on Earth by being your mother, I love you so much," She said as she caressed Violet's cheek before standing up and walking to the door. She was about to flip the switch but forgot to turn on the girl's nightlight. As she flipped it on she looked at the child.

"Good night, honey," Selina whispered to her little girl.

"Good night mommy.." the young girl mumbled as she looked at the nightlight. That nightlight had always kept the 7-year-old company. Something about a bat hanging over her bed was comforting to her.

Selina didn't bother to check if her daughter was asleep to leave the room. She saw him standing by the door as she closed the door. He sighed and took off his shades.

"Listen, kid, I don't want to ask again, but who's the father?" He asked him and she looked at him. She went to grab her coat, and when she started putting it on she sighed.

"Her father is an addict that frequents the Iceberg," She said, she kept saying that to herself as if it was the truth but it wasn't. She knew who Violet's dad was, but she doesn't want him to know, she wanted no one to know about it.

"I wish I could believe that, Selina, I really wish I could, kid," He spoke as he put the shades back on. He looked at her with not a look of disgust, or disdain, but of disappointment.

"I would've believed the lie of immaculate conception before the whole 'her fathers an addict' schtick. You know who I think is her dad? I don't know if you really know him, I know he goes by a bunch of nicknames," The man spoke as she had enough.

"The knowledge of who her father is, is none of your business Carmine." She told him sternly as she grabbed her keys.

"What's going on?" Annika, her best friend called out as she was leaving her room. Selina looked at Ani with a sigh of relief.

"Ani, honey, can you watch Violet for me? I picked up a shift tonight," Selina asked, it was more of a pleading tone. Selina didn't have anyone to watch Violet, it was either she had to leave her alone in the apartment or take her to the Iceberg, both were a no-go.

"Yeah, of course, Seli," Annika nodded as she put her hands in her pockets. Annika was a tall blonde woman from Russia. She met Selina at the Iceberg 3 years ago when Violet was 4 and had a babysitter until Selina found out that the babysitter was bringing in boys into the apartment and leaving Violet in her room. It wasn't a pretty sight for any of them.

"Thank you so much, Ani, I owe you," She said in relief as Annika shook her head.

"It's nothing, I love Violet like my own," Annika said as she smiled "Go! You have to work!" Ani added as Selina laughed and closed the door. Carmine stood by the wall outside of the apartment as he watched Selina lock the apartment.

"You see, honey, it is my business as not only you work for me, but as your father," He told her as she looked at him. Her eyes had narrowed, she wanted nothing to do with Violet's dad, or her own father.

"I hope one day I can prove you wrong," She muttered as they started walking outside of the apartment building. It was a bad area in Gotham but it wasn't as bad as living near the Iceberg or living in the Cauldron. Hopefully, this was the first and last time he ever mentioned the subject of Violet's dad. She never wanted him to know of Violet in the first place. It was something that she needed to keep a secret from the Earth.

She was never disappointed in Violet, how could she be when Violet saved her at a time of need? Selina loves her daughter so much that she would kill for her. There is nothing Selina wouldn't do for her baby girl. But sometimes you have to hide the things you love so they won't get hurt.

The last thing Selina wants is for Violet to get hurt.

In any way.

Batober Day 24:

Storm

I didn't plan on making Batman beyond, but I was struggling with which character I should draw for the prompt. My sister suggested Terry! Honestly, it was a good idea! I owe this prmpt to her. This was made in a rush, which is why I used reference instead of doing something original. But its okay, because I feel like the array of inspirations I used really amplified the purpose of this prompt, which I'm really happy about.
