Imagine.... 😫

Your misty eyes slowly glanced around the chaos surrounding the now blocked off alley way, feeling as if your heart had been shot right through. You wanted to keep it together for Bruce. But it was getting hard to do just that. Your parents..... why would someone want to kill them is all you kept asking yourself.

Tonight started out like any other for the Wayne family. You all went and enjoyed a very good show, happy smiles littering your faces and pleasant conversation filling your ears. You loved it so much. The little moments always meant everything to you. And now? That's all you'd have. Your parents being slain in front of you was a nightmare you'll never wake up from.

And as you looked towards Bruce, his small frame leaning against yours with quite sobs leaving his traumatized mouth, you softly wrapped your arms around him, thankful that nothing happening to him at least. You always tried to be the best big sibling you could for him. You always had a connection that you never wanted to lose. And with your parents now gone, you had to keep it as strong as ever.

And do everything you could to protect Bruce from this horrible world full of awful monsters. You softly kissed the top of Bruce's head upon feeling his arms wrap around you in a death grip. And a tear rolled down your cheek ever so softly.

"It'll be okay Brucie...." And you didn't know if that was actually true or not. Because you just wanted to collapse and be woken up when this was all over. When the nightmare laid out before you finally ended. When your mom and dad came back home.

"Those are my kids! They're in my care! I need through...." Your eyes instantly went to Alfred and you felt the flood gates open, letting what felt like the ocean fall from your eyes. You and Bruce instantly ran to him, his comforting and loving arms meeting you in the middle with a tight hug, the embrace soothing you only a little.

And as your eyes landed on your parent's bodies being taken away, you softly closed them, resting your head on Alfred's shoulder to close out the horrors happening around you, still waiting to awake from a horrible nightmare.
