Dreams

I know I said this was completed... and I'm sorry but an idea popped In My head so here it is. Enjoy

He got shot fifty times! Good thing he had a bulletproof vest on bad thing that he still got broken ribs and internal bleeding. He had passed out that is something he knew but when he opened his eyes he was alone. Was the battle over? He slowly got up wincing with the pain, he looked around frantically for Quinn among the bodies which no-one had thought to bury. Rude! He thought, he stumbled to his feet leaning on a wall for support he spotted the woods and grinned, he shuffled through the labyrinth of trees his feet crunching on dead orange leaves their lives stolen by the autumn weather. He grabbed onto a tree but his leg was wrapped in some rope and next thing he knew he was upside down surrounded by men with guns and dear-stalker hats, they looked at him in annoyance one man pulled out a knife and cut the rope making him drop which also made him scream in pain
"What's up with ya kid?" One man grunted, I'm call him tod he thought
"Well you know the battlefield down there?" He asked pointing to where he had come and the men nodded "yes well I was there fighting and I got shot... fifty times. But I lived! I had a bulletproof vest on but I think I have a couple broken ribs and internal bleeding!" He said fake enthusiastically. The men looked at him shocked before one helped him off the floor
"Come on we have a doctor at home he can help you out and we have food " he said and slung the boy's arm around his shoulders and another man did the same.
"What yer name?" Asked a ginger
"Jack, I'm jack" the teen responded.

Quinn woke up in cold sweat
"The hell!?" She cried and took a shower trying to wash away the dream. It didn't work."That had to be a dream! I can't believe my mind is that mean t-to make me believe that!" She sobbed.
Quinn slumped down the stairs and ate her eggs half heartedly
"What's up?" Dick asked and Quinn looked up
"Oh just a bad dream... my stupid brain making me think my brother was alive" she muttered and looked down before she could see the sympathetic looks
"Oh that sucks" Tim said quietly but Quinn shrugged and grabbed a piece of Damian's toast
"Give me my toast" Damian demanded and Quinn grinned and grabbed the other one
"Take it from me!" She cried and jumped off her chair just in time for Damian to launch at her, she laughed and Damian charged at her, she didn't expect however for him to take down her legs. She landed on the floor with an "oof" as she and Damian wrestled both grinning madly
Then they heard a polite cough, the froze and turned to see Alfred looking at them disapprovingly
"Heyyy Alfred!" They said in unison, Alfred looked to Bruce for confirmation before he grabbed them by the ears and dragged them to the table and shoved toast in their mouth as they pouted.
"Oh what am I going to do with you too?" Bruce sighed rubbing his temples " just don't behave like that in this business gala" there was a collective groan around the table.

Φ  The gala  Φ

Quinn stood at the drinks bar talking to the YJ (of course not as their superheroes) since the whole incident they had finally made up but that was the hero side as they didn't know who she was (well that was long winded). She excused herself to go find Bruce who was talking to her brothers
"Bruce! When is this going to end? I don't like the cameras" she whispered,
"Look it'll be over in... an hour just try to hold on til then?" He chuckled and the kids sighed " and then tomorrow we can celebrate your birthday!" At this Quinn grinned this was her first birthday with the Waynes but it also didn't feel right without jack.
"Hey look I know you miss your brother but try to not let that ruin your birthday!" Dick said and she nodded before heading off to grab a glass of juice.
The front doors swung open and everyone looked over to see a tall boy with unruly blonde hair and green eyes, he wore a black jacket and torn up jeans and he had dirt on his face but he held a air of confidence around him. Quinn had yet to notice him and so she just walked through the crowd until she was at the edge of the big gap in the centre that was made by everyone who had spread to the sides where the tables were. What are they looking at?! She looked to Dick who was next to her before looking at the boy by the now closed door, and her heart stopped and her glass slipped from her hand, luckily Dick pulled her away from the glass missiles. But all she could do was stare not even caring if she was crying because there at the door of her home was her twin brother who she thought she had seen die. She stumbled forward and finally reached him not aware of all the people in the room looking at the sobbing girl, she walked up to him and poked his arm expecting it to go right through. It didn't.
"I-is it r-really you?" She whispered her voice cracking, the boy looked at her with his eyes. her eyes.
"Hey little squash" he whispered smiling tears running down his face too
"H-how?" She squeaked
"I had a bulletproof vest on, I had a few broken ribs and internal bleeding but some hunters found me and patched me up and I stayed with them until I could confirm you were alive" he muttered her eyes widened when she recognised her dream. But she looked into his eyes again and just pulled him into a tight hug as she cried into his neck and he did the same. Their knees buckled and they just sat on the floor making up for all the times they didn't get to hug.

Bruce knew who the boys was, he could recognise those eyes anywhere. Yes he was confused on how he had lived but he didn't care because his daughter was happy, him and the boys made their way over slowly.
"There goes me getting the best birthday gift!" Dick cried and they could hear a muffled chuckle. Finally the two stopped hugging each other and Quinn looked at Bruce and her brothers
"Um guys meet my brother jack" she said grinning but she quickly stopped they got off the floor so jack could say hi
"Hi... thank you for looking after my sister." He thanked and they nodded.
For the rest of the gala Bruce explained to the press about jack and Quinn didn't leave his side.

The Wayne family and jack sat on the sofas
"So you dreamt about me being alive?" Jack said
"Yeah I just thought it was my mind being mean but it wasn't" she said with her head on his shoulder, she had changed out of her suit and into her pyjamas
"That's interesting" Bruce muttered "I'll tell Batman"
They saw jack tense when he said that and they smirked
"We don't mind that you're the joker's kid" dick said and jack's eyes widened in shock.
"Ok you should get to bed, I think Quinn will want you in her room jack" Bruce said. And they all dispersed.
