Bruce cursed for the fouth time that day as he relocated his wrist back into place. Despite how he felt about the League of Shadows, he was grateful for the lessons they taught despite how painful. Finally free of his bonds he glanced up the stairs where he could hear the lady of the house cooking. 'There is no way this isn't going to turn into a fight,' Bruce thought 'Is he even worth it?' Almost immediately guilt washed over him in a tidal wave. How could he even think that? It was his fault that Jonathan was in his position- no it was THEIR fault. It was the fault of the guards who didn't check to make sure everyone was out, the nuns who either didn't notice or say anything, those sick and cruel inmates at the hospital, the sadistic grandmother, the aunt and uncle who took Jackson away, the league of shadows who recruited him, and finally Bruce himself. 'With so many people who did him wrong, no wonder the tormended became th tormentor...' he thought as he slowly made his way up the steps because Bruce knew if he was to right this wrong he had to face the lady standing in his way.

Jackson signed at the slow passengers making their way off the plane before grabbing his suitcase. He was determined to get home, check on Lisa and make Wayne spill everything, his blood if neccessary. He won't deny he was not happy about leaving Lisa alone but Jackson knew Lisa could take just about anything. Smiling at the thought of her, Jackson fingered the ring in his pocket that he took everywhere. Soon the world would know Lisa was his and Jackson would have his brother back. Lightly sprinting outside and advoiding kids and old people alike he hailed the first taxi he saw and hopped in.

Lisa stirred the pot of boiling water with rice with one hand and rubbed her belly with the other. 'Twins. I'm having twins. How am I going to tell my father? How am I going to tell Jack?' so busy in her thoughts Lisa didnt notice a door opening behind her. 'What if he doesn't want kids? What if he only wanted a temperary fling? Would he leave me? But surely, jackson would stick around for the sake of the kids, right? But Jack wouldn't just leave! He cares about me!' 'Does he?' a voice at the back of her mind whispered 'Yes, he does! We wouldn't still be here other wise! Jack never stick around things he doesn't like...' "Your burning your rice." Startled Lisa grabbed the pot and without thinking twice she threw it's contents at the man in the door way.
