After the Tragedy
Part Four of Four
“You asked me to come why,” Dick asked sounding a lot like the old Bruce but at least he was more stable. “Have you found anything out about who destroyed the tower.” He sounded raw and haunted as he said that.
“I found the security footage it wasn’t deleted it was just diverted from the original back up to another and all sound has been removed.” She could tell he knew what that meant someone would have to truly know the Titan’s system to do that. “It doesn’t show much just a bomb suddenly appearing and everyone collapsing probably the noise that Doomsboy described it didn’t show up on the tapes.”
“I want to see it,” Dick said darkly so she punched it up and then frowned it wasn’t the footage she’d tried to play. “What’s going on?” Dick asked and then froze as the camera panned over several familiar bodies. Beastboy, Damage, Tempest and Raven were laying there clearly dead .
“Bet you didn’t even know they were missing yet did you?” Dick’s voice said over the line as as a man wearing armor sat down in front of the camera and pulled the face plate of his mask up showing Dicks’ face. “Hi Dickie and Babs remember me Death wing.”
She remembered the fake Dick used in that fake future as an older Nightwing. “It can’t be you when Star Labs removed the trigon seed you were rendered comatose with permanent nerve damage.” Dick said and she recalled Bruce had quietly paid to have him sent to a long term care facility since they had never found out who he was.
“Yeah and Bruce sent me off never to be heard from again,” Deathwing said with a frown. “He didn’t want you to learn where I came from since his DNA test showed him I was your clone.” She saw Dick start in disbelief but she ignored the statements and began to track where Deathwing was broadcasting from. “Don’t be so surprised I certainly wasn’t when I learned that I was the result of a failed attempt to clone the Titans back when it was just the first team.” Deathwing snorted. “Seems they only managed to clone the two normal humans and then shortly after our training was complete they decided they only needed one infiltrator and had me kill the Roy clone.” He laughed, “But then I got sent into the fake future to be you for those fake titans.”
Dick glanced down at her so she pointed at the five and then the m on her keyboard to let him know how long it would take to find him. “If what your saying is true why kill the Titans?” She could hear the edge in Dick’s voice.
“Why not kill the Titans?” Deathwing said with a laugh. “I was given this suit of armor by one of the Titans enemy to wipe you all out and I will.” He was smiling. “I just wanted you to know that all of the Titans will die before you Dick, you see to prove I’m better than you I’m saving you for last bye bye.” Deathwing stood up. “I’ll leave the line open so Babs can tell you where to collect the bodies and be sure to tell Bruce I enjoyed being dumped as a vegetable in a nursing home.”
“Come back,” Dick said angrily as Deathwing walked out of the shot but as they heard a door closing she knew he wouldn’t. “How much longer we need to get there are see if any of them can be saved?” She could tell just by looking that none of them would be saved but she worked quicker for Dick’s sake. “Do you think it is true that Bruce knew he was a clone and didn’t tell me?”
“I don’t know,” She said quietly. “We will have to ask him when we get a chance?” She hoped for the sake of their relationship that Bruce hadn’t known or that Deathwing was delusional or lying the way things were going she didn’t think their relationship would survive since it was so fractured because of Tim’s death.
“If it is true then Bruce is the one responsible for Tim’s death not me like he said,” Dick said quietly. “He blamed me for helping found the Titans said if I’d stayed in Gotham and done my job then Tim would never have joined a Team.”
“That was his grief talking he doesn’t really believe that,” she said but could tell he didn’t believe that. She hoped that he would soon but she had a terrible feeling that this was only the beginning. “I’m going to send out an alert to all Titans to be on guard from Deathwing.” He nodded looking guilty to have not thought of it himself. She hoped they could stop him before more people died.
The End.
