"Here is your legacy, Damian. Isabelle's and your's inheritance... The League of Assassins". Ra's said to us.

We looked down the balcony and saw every man that was currently training. We're we actually worthy of inheriting this entire army? I couldn't believe it. But this is what we were trained for our whole lives, to one day inherit The League of Assassins. But, I don't want to accept my 'legacy' as Ra's says. I don't want to become like Ra's and my mother Talia.ย  Both of them have trained us to become ultimate assassins like them.

I know that Damian sees the world from their point of view. But I'm different. My father, who was going rogue at the end of his days as a league member, wanted to stop.

He didn't want to do this anymore...because of me.

He wanted a better and normal life for both of us.

He's the reason why I see the word differently.

ย 
If I could use this league, I would use it for good, but I'm already a disappointment to my family. They only see the true 'inheritor' who is Damian. He already has the title of Demon. That makes it very clear they don't want me to be involved.

ย And that's fine by me. Because I can't and never will become one of them.ย 

Out of nowhere, aย  gunshot was heard.ย  My uncle Busan fell to the ground, and blood from his skull poured in an instant.

"We have been breached"Ra's shouted. "They're already inside! Take the boy and the girl".

As Ra's got his sword and ran inside, Talia grabbed Damian as I followed them, jumping off the balcony we were standing on and landing on a lower roof, then slid and landed roughly on the ground. Once we landed, we looked up and saw the men who were training a minute ago ready for battle. Some with bows and arrows, some with swords, and some in catapults, they were ready to fight with honor. Out of nowhere helicopters come from the sky and start shooting at everyone down there and vice versa. Men from both sides were dying.

It was scary, seeing Blood being splattered left me in a state of shock for a moment. But I had to keep running. Damian, Talia, and I hid behind a wall trying not to be seen by the Intruders.

"Stay here Isabelle. Protect your brother". she commanded, then ran out into battle with a couple of arrows and a bow and started shooting at the helicopters I freeze when I see the body of one of the enemies holding a gun next to us. So Damian grabbed the gun and started shooting at the Intruders in order to get to Ra's.

"Damian". I shouted trying to catch up to him. When we get there, it was too late. Ra's was in a terrible state, his entire body was burned, his hair was gone... he was dead. Even though I was a disappointment to him, I didn't want him to die this way, by a murderer. I wanted him to have an honorable death.

ย  ย  "Grandfather?" Damian said trying so hard not to cry. When we turn our heads and see the murderer who killed Ra's, I was in utter shock. I couldn't believe it. How could he?

"Slade"? I asked as my eyes were watery.

"I'm sorry Isabelle". Slade said mockingly looking directly at me.

Slade was Ra's second hand. He was almost family. Why? But there was no time to think this through. I took Ra's katana and ran up to him to fight with but as I approached him, he dodged the attack stabbing one of his katanas into my right thigh, and kicked me so hard I hit a wall. The impact was so fast it felt like I was about to faint.

"Isabelle!" Damian shouted, and I could hear the echoes of his footsteps coming toward me, and heard him grabbing the katana off the floor

"You'll regret doing that" Damian shouted. As Damian grabbed Ra's katana he immediately stabbed what seemed to be Slade's eye, leaving him yelling in pain.

ย  "Now you're heart". Damian shouted, but as he positioned his katana toward Slade. I ran still having my head dizzy and filled with echoes, he threw some smoke bombs as I went towards Damian.

"I'll make you suffer for this, boy". Slade said as he was slowly being lifted by a helicopter.

"Next time". I went up and hugged Damian to comfort him when we both saw someone specifically on the helicopter Slade was in.

"Ubu," both of us said at the same time, watching them as they flew away.

" Come back and finish it, traitors" Damian yelled, holding grandfather's katana in the air. Ra's. His body. I sprinted to check on Ra's body as Damian followed behind me, but when we got there, it disappeared.

The first thing that came up to my mind was the Lazarus pit. Did he actually make it?

"Both of you, wait!" Talia shouted as we ran into the Lazarus pit, where the neon green waters lit up the pitch-black cave. There, I saw Ra's body about to reach the pit. It looked like he tried to crawl to it, but died on the way trying.

ย  ย  "No"... Damian said as he kneel down near Ra's body, but with all his force he was trying to move his body.

" We have to get him into the Lazarus pit," he said as he finally succeeded to carry Ra's body.

"Damian stop, it's no use," I said standing in front of him.

"We have to try, we can't just leave him."

"Damian, listen to your sister, he's dead," Talia affirmed, as she mysteriously appeared behind me.

I could tell Damian was both frustrated and sad that Ra's, the only father figure he had was gone. And there was no way to bring him back. He escaped death so many times that I doubt he'll come back this time. I feel utter sadness words couldn't explain. He was my grandfather as well. I haven't felt this way since... my father too. He was my grandfather as well.

"The pit can't restore a body this damaged. He's beyond healing." Talia explained as Damian gently dropped Ra's to the ground.

"You did your best," Talia said as she walked away.

I rushed over to Damian and gave him a hug so tight, that he hugged me back even tighter. Talia in that case was very cold. Damian and I learned that the hard way. But I guess I am simply that way because of the way my father used to comfort me on some of my darkest days. But I still kept his memory in believing and doing what is right.

"Damian, Isabelle. Come now!" Talia grabbed Damian's arm and I followed her. "

Where are we going?" I asked.

"Gotham City, it's time for Damian to meet his father".
