Baby Bat Goes To School Part 10
🕑 Added 2021-12-08 03:19:54 +0000 UTCRaven led Bee to a connecting room. Inside was a magical circle written on the floor. Surrounding it were eight candles. Raven waved her hand as they entered, and the candles lit up with purple flames.
“Enter the circle and sit down,” she said.
“Are you sure about this?” asked Bee.
“Yes. In order for you to fully become Bee Zatara is to confront your past head on. For that you need to enter your mind and confront your darkness.”
“I can’t say that it will be easy. Nor can I say that you will like what you will see once there. This may be scary for you, but juts think of it as the next step that you have to complete in this stage in your journey.”
“I understand,” Be said as she sat down in the center of the circle. Please tell me what I have to do.”
“First close your eyes. Now think about when you first decided to become the Batman. Think back to that time. Imagine it inside your head. What do you see?”
“I see the alleyway where it all began. I see a boy crying over the bodies of his parents, and the man that killed them running away. No one was there to help them.”
“But was that your fault. It couldn’t have been prevented.” “It could have if I was stronger. I could have saved them.”
“Maybe, but as of now that is not your past. That is Bruce Wayne’s past, not yours. You are Bee Zatara. At one point you were Bruce Wayne, and many people may wish for the bat’s return, but you cannot deny the happiness that you’ve experienced up till now.”
“If Thomas and Martha Wayne were all right now, they would be happy that you got another chance to stay over. The darkness can’t hurt you here, not as Bee Zatara.”
“But can’t it? If the Batman isn’t around to help everyone then think of the state that Gotham is in now. Maybe Damien was right.”
“Don’t say that. If I know anything it’s that if you believe that this choice made for you was the wrong one, then you would have done everything in your power to change it. Living in fear is not something that your friends wanted for you.”
“You have to move on, that’s why I have decided to show you him.”
“What are you talking about?” Bee asked, confused by what Raven meant.
“I believe that she is talking about me.”
