Dolores Umbridge was mad, nothing was breaking the Potter bitch's mind why. She questioned to her self and she got up and walked around her office, before anything could be done or even planned a loud thump made her turn and saw a large package on her desk with a letter.

Alfred Pennyworth

Lucuis Fox

James Gordon

Richard Grayson

Barbara Gordon

Tim Drake

Jason Todd

That is all to the hall

A friend who wants the truth out there.

Dolores had a spring in her steps as she went to the Headmaster's office to be hers after these books.

"May I help you Dolores" Albus said from behind her and she turned grinning.

"Yes you can I have in my hand all of your and Miss Potter's lies though her seven years, I want you to find these people I have contracted most, but you will do the others, also send the students to the great hall as well as all the teachers and ghosts" Albus frowned as she handed him the letter and he looked at the names.

'My dear girl what are you hiding? I am so sorry for your secrets to come out' Albus thought and went to his office, contracting everyone in the order and the four people that even he didn't know.

Meanwhile, Sakura was standing by the Black lake thinking of the past and what was going on with her adoptive father.

'I am scared dad, what is going on? What is going to happen to you?' Sakura thought letting flower petals leave her hand and a voice she hated came over the grounds.

"Will all students, teachers and ghosts please make your way to the great hall" Sakura glared towards the school and walked up.

As she entered she saw Remus, Sirius in dog form and to her shock most of the order.

"Sakura, over here" Ron yelled and she walked over.

As everyone sat, Sakura noticed that Dumbledore was there nor was McGonagall, but all the school ghosts were.

"Wonder why we are here?" Hermione muttered and Sakura sighed.

"I don't like it" Sakura hissed and everyone jumped at a bang, everyone turned to the doors to the great hall and Sakura smiled.

Bruce Wayne with his cane, Alfred Pennyworth, Commissioner James Gordon, Lucius Fox, Barbara Gordon in her wheelchair and to her adoptive brothers Richard Grayson, Tim Drake and just behind them was Jason Todd who she thought was dead and she stood up.

"Papa" she shouted and everyone watched in shock as the Potter heiress ran to the man with the cane hugging him "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Your headmaster came to me, Alfred, Lucius, Jim, Barbara and your brothers asking us to come to your school" the man replied.

"No hello for me, I am hurt little gem" a elderly man asked and Sakura smiled.

"Hello Alfred, have you been nice to dad for me" Alfred nodded "Good, hello again Uncle Jim, Uncle Lucius" Sakura turned to smile at her brothers "Dick, Timmy" she hudded them both and gave Barbara a hug before turning to Jason "Jay, I thought you were dead" Sakura whispered to him and she hugged him which she felt him freeze and she let him go before turning to her father leading him to where her friends were sitting.

"Kura, who are these people?" Molly asked and everyone in the hall went silent.

"Madam, my name is Alfred Pennyworth, I am the family butler to the Wayne Family in America and I raised Bruce here after his parents death" Alfred told her.

"I'm Bruce Wayne, I adopted Sakura here when she was 9, when Vernon Dursley and his family came to Gotham City for a business deal, these are my adopted sons Richard Grayson, Jason Todd and Timothy Drake" Bruce told her before he winced and Sakura frowned.

"Dad, have you been going to your doctor?" Sakura asked him and Alfred told her no and the two started to argue with Alfred telling Bruce to listen to Sakura.

"Ignore those three, I'm Lucius Fox, I am the CEO of Wayne Enterprises and a uncle of sort to young Sakura" the dark skinned man told the hall.

"I am the Police Commissioner of Gotham City, I have known Bruce a long time and Sakura ran into me while late to her school before she started calling me Uncle, my name is James Gordon, but call me Jim and this is my daughter Barbara Gordon" Jim said with a bow of his head.

Sakura sat next to her adoptive father with Alfred next to him and her two uncles in all but blood across from them and her brothers sat around her around with Barbara next to her father, while the order sat around them, Hermione sat next to Sakura with Ron across from her.

"Now, it's see the life and lies of Sakura Potter" Umbridge said and opened the book, before she could go on, Sakura stood up and glared towards the toad.

"You want to read about my life, well let me say this, my life is not pretty all sunshine and rainbow, where I live is dangerous, more than here" Sakura hissed before she looked towards James Gordon who had placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Relax, Flower" he whispered and the hall watched as Sakura breathed in deep and released.

"I am fine" she turned back to Umbridge and the teacher's table "Don't think I did not warn you, but keep in mind that once you start reading, do not stop" Sakura hissed, her violet eyes going darker and she sat down and Bruce hugged her.

Chapter one – Departing Dursleys, becoming a Wayne

For 8 years, the Dursleys were proud to say that no one questioned if there was another child within their home, their son was gaining many friends or followers as Dudley called them in privacy not aware that the young Potter Girl heard him.

Sakura was now 9 years old, she had shoulder length dark red hair with emerald eyes and she knew about the Dursley than people would have known.

The day started out like normal, Vernon Dursley going to work, while Petunia looked after Dudley and made Sakura clean the house, but something was different after a phone from Vernon that made Petunia very happy and for some strange reason she started to pack making Sakura pack her things as well.

"Girl, you have to come with us to America to a city called Gotham City, due to Vernon's boss wanting to make a deal with a man named Victor Fries or something" Sakura nodded and went on packing the few things she had, at 3:00 a taxi came to the house and the three of them left for the airport where Vernon stood proud with a man nearly as fat as him.

"The passports are ready, time to get the flight" Vernon said and the group walked in the international lounge where Vernon turned to Sakura "You girl, where be in second class while my family I along with my boss is in first class, you better behave yourself" he hissed and she nodded and sat down alone as the Dursleys left.

For one hour, she had nothing to do till first class was called and followed by second, she sat in a row to herself and fell asleep nearly straight away.

"Miss, we are about to land" Sakura nodded and looked out of the window and saw a city covered in smoke and tall towers, making her gasp.

"It is amazing isn't it, but the city is so corrupt that it should be put out of it's degrading form" Sakura turned and saw a man that made her want to run.

The man had greying dark brown hair with some of it white while he had dark blue eyes, but Sakura felt he was evil, pure evil like the laughing man in her dreams and Sakura turned back to the window.

Even if it was corrupt, Gotham was beautiful City to look at with it's river and bridges surrounding an island and finally she saw the airport and she ran off and saw the Dursleys glaring at her.

"Your late, now come on" Vernon grabbed her just as another plane landed before she saw the crowds of the airport blocking her view.

For two days, Sakura was left in the hotel while the Dursleys and Vernon's boss went to see the sites and see the man Victor, but the third day it all changed for her and her life with them.

"GIRL, THIS IS YOUR FAULT, GET OUT GET OUT, THAT MAN HAS DISAPPEARED AND IT IS YOUR FAULT" Vernon yelled and Sakura scared for the first time in her short life ran just as Vernon was about to hit her, she bolted out of the hotel and ran for ages, till she was out of breath and saw she was now in an alley near a tall building.

Alfred Pennyworth was walking back to his personal car when he heard a little echoed cry and looked around before spotting an alley way.

"Alfred is everything alright" his master and charge asked walking behind him.

"I don't know, I heard a small cry coming from there" Alfred replied and both men walked towards the alley when it was the young man spotted the young child.

"Alfred, it's a child" he told the now shocked butler.

"Master Bruce, I will go" Bruce nodded and watched from the head of the alley as his oldest friend and the man that raised him walked towards the red headed child.

Sakura looked up hearing them talk and she backed up.

"It's okay, we are here to help you" the elderly man said kneeling to her height "What's your name?"

"S-S-Sakura" she answered hiccuping a bit tear strains on her face and Bruce went out to the child.

"Where are your parents?" Alfred asked.

"Dead, when I was a baby from a car crash, my aunt told me that they were drunk and stupid no gooders" Sakura whispered and Alfred moved to hug her.

"What's your full name, do you know?" Bruce asked walking up to her.

"Sakura Potter, I was on 31st of July 1990" Sakura answered and both men saw bright green eyes like emeralds.

"Can you come with me and Alfred and we will clean you up?" Bruce asked and she nodded and looked at her self.

Her clothes were dirty and three sizes to big on her small frame while her hair was damp but still dark red.

Alfred picked her and carried her to the car and he drove the car back to a large manor.

Once Alfred parked the car, Bruce picked up the small girl and took her inside where she was amazed at the size and grand stairs.

"This will be your home till we we find a relative" Bruce told her and she turned.

"They don't want me, my uncle tried to hit me" Sakura covered her mouth and both men saw tears forming.

"Don't worry, you will never go back to them, I will adopt you" Bruce told her and Alfred smiled.

"Well, you better get started, plus you would have to tell her your secret" Alfred told them and Bruce nodded.

"Sakura, there is something you must know and it could at times bring danger" Sakura nodded and looked at Bruce "I only came back to Gotham after being away seven years three weeks ago and two weeks ago I became a man in a cape, a man to bring fear into criminals and evil men or even women, you may at times see bad press about me as I am now or my other self, I call myself Batman" Bruce explained and Sakura giggled, making him look confuse.

"I think you are cool, I saw a newspaper at the hotel and it had a dark picture of this hero saving and busting up this man sticking him on a light, Vernon said leave that to the police to clean up the city, but I thought you are doing something good" Sakura told him and Bruce smiled and hugged her.

The next few weeks passed quickly, the press got a hold of the information that Bruce Wayne adopted a young girl and named her his heir, Sakura was having the time of her life and opened up more to both Bruce and Alfred telling her of her life, while Bruce looked for newspaper or anything to do with Sakura's parents deaths, but he found nothing so it seemed that Sakura aunt and uncle lied to her.

Bruce knew he should tell her, but she was so young, but he knew if he told her she could end up and want to kill the murderer, so Bruce decided to wait, he knew it could come out he knew, but he didn't want his daughter to feel that type of hatred at least till she was older he would tell her.

It was one week till his 30th birthday and he was going to investigate those rabbits or bear toys that Falcone had shipped in.

"Papa" Bruce turned and looked at his young daughter, she wore a blue night dress with blue slippers "Be safe" Sakura told him and he nodded before heading down to the cave.

"Come along Miss Sakura, it is time for you to go to bed, I will wait for Master Bruce" Sakura nodded and walked to her room.

Sakura felt something a miss that morning and looked around it was pass 10am an hour later than she normally gets up. She got out of bed and opened her door.

"Miss Sakura, I was just coming to get you, your father is ill" Alfred said and Sakura ran to her father's room where he laid in his bed sweat running down his face and he had laboured breathing.

"Papa, please don't leave me" Sakura whispered and hugged Bruce around his chest, Alfred put a hand on his heart and he watched as Sakura tried everything to wake him.

"Miss Sakura, I will get your father better, why don't you make him a card?" Alfred said and the emerald eyed girl looked at him.

"I don't want to lose another papa" she cried and she ran out of the room.

"You won't" Alfred muttered watching the young girl run towards the attic, Alfred discovered that Sakura discovered pictures of the Wayne family that lived in this manor for hundreds of years building on it, she told him that she felt they were watching her protecting her and they guarded her.

For the next day, Alfred rarely saw Sakura only if she wanted something to eat or drink, she mainly cried up in the attic hiding in fear and Alfred's heart went out to her.

Alfred decided then on the second day to call in Lucius Fox and Sakura was in the room when they came in.

"Hello Miss Sakura, this is Lucius Fox, he is going to help Master Bruce" Sakura looked at the man before moving from her spot on the chair and Lucius looked at the young girl.

"Hello there, don't worry, like Alfred said, I will help Bruce I work with him at Wayne Enterprises, I just need to take a sample of his blood and I will find a cure" Lucius told her and her emerald green eyed looked away and nodded before leaving to the attic.

"Don't worry, Lucius, she already lost her parents like Bruce did, but they died in a car crash when she was only a baby" Alfred told the man and he nodded.

"How old is she?" Lucius asked getting the needle into Bruce's arm.

"She is 9 years old, a very bright girl when Master Bruce was not like this, she opened his heart to love and care for someone, they are very close" Alfred answered and Lucius finished and packed his things up.

"I will get this done as soon as possible" Lucius told Alfred and walked out.

It was the day of Bruce's birthday, when Lucius came back, Sakura looked from door as Lucius injected Bruce with a needle.

"Miss Sakura, your father will now be okay" Alfred told her and together Sakura and Alfred sat near Bruce while Lucius waited by the door to the room.

It was 3 in the afternoon, Sakura was outside sitting by the pond, when Bruce awoke and Alfred saw him waking.

"How long was I out?" Bruce asked and Alfred heard his voice was still a little weak.

"Three days, Miss Sakura will be happy to know you are well as well it's your birthday" Alfred told handing him a drink.

"I've felt these effects before, but this was so much more potent" Bruce frowned "It was some kind of hallucinogen, weaponized in aerosol form" Lucius decided to make his appearance as he saw out of the wide windows Sakura coming back up to the house.

"You have been hanging out in the wrong clubs, Mr. Wayne" Lucius told him making Bruce stop lifting his glass to his lips.

"I called Mr. Fox when your condition worsened after the first day" the three men heard someone running and Bruce smiled as Sakura ran into the room.

"Papa, you are better" Sakura yelled looking up and jumped onto the bed.

"As I was about to say I analysed your blood... isolating the receptor compounds and the protein-based catalyst" both Sakura and Bruce had a blank face and Sakura tilted her head while Bruce gave a small laugh.

"Am I or Sakura to understand any of that?" Sakura nodded while Lucius smirked.

"Not at all, I just wanted you to know how hard it was... bottom line I synthesised an antidote" Sakura looked at Lucius.

"What does Senfesized mean?" she asked.

"Just that I made a cure" Sakura looked at Lucius and nodded while Bruce looked at Lucius again.

"Could you make more?" he asked and Lucius stared at him.

"You planning on gassing yourself again Mr. Wayne?" Lucius asked and Sakura crossed her arms and glared.

"He won't" she answered and she got off the bed "Alfred, I am going to my room" the men nodded and watched as Sakura left.

"She was very worried about you Master Bruce" Alfred told the youngest man and Lucius left the room.

Bruce was up and walking around when the doorbell rung, Sakura who was with Alfred in the kitchen came with him where a young woman with dark brown hair and eyes was standing.

"Rachel, you are looking good" Alfred said and Rachel looked at Sakura "Oh this is Miss Sakura Potter, Master Bruce adopted her a few weeks ago, Miss Sakura this is Master Bruce's childhood friend Rachel Dawes" Sakura curtsied and Rachel smiled bending to her level.

"Well aren't you very pretty" Rachel told Sakura who hid behind Alfred blushing.

"Miss Sakura why don't you head up and find a dress for the party?" Alfred told her and nodded and ran upstairs.

"She is a sweet heart, very shy" Rachel said and Alfred nodded.

"She is, you are here early for the party" Alfred commented.

"I only came to drop off Bruce's gift then I have to get back" Rachel said handing Alfred a wrapped box when Bruce walked towards the door.

"Rachel" Bruce said and Alfred left and handed Bruce the gift before heading upstairs.

Alfred walked in to find Sakura looking in her closet and he chuckled.

"Need help" he asked and the young girl jumped with two dresses in her hand.

"Which one?" she asked and Alfred sighed.

"I am no good at colours, Miss Sakura, but the purple one will go better with her hair" Alfred told her and Alfred left looking for a maid, when he saw Bruce walking towards the hidden entrance to the cave.

Alfred ran towards him.

"Master Bruce where are you going?" he asked and Bruce turned.

"I need to help Rachel, something is wrong with the disappearance of her boss, I will be there with her outside the walls of Arkham in case she needs help" Bruce answered and Alfred looked at him.

"But, Master Wayne the guests will be arriving" Alfred said and Sakura looked out of her room hearing them on the floor above.

"Be careful, papa" Sakura whispered and she headed to find one of the maids to help get dressed.

After she found one not to busy, the maid helped the dress over Sakura head's and started on her hair.

"Here you go, miss, how is that?" the maid said after braiding Sakura's hair.

"I love it, thank you Marie" Sakura said jumping up from the chair and hugging the maid.

"You are welcome" Marie said and Alfred walked in.

"Wow, aren't you the picture of cuteness" Alfred told her and Sakura smiled.

"Thank you Alfred" Sakura replied and together they walked out and into the party.

"Sakura, go and sat over by Lucius Fox, I will be back" Alfred whispered to her and she nodded.

"You must be Mr. Wayne adopted daughter" Sakura looked up and saw a older man "I'm William Earle, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises" Sakura nodded and saw Lucius walking up to her.

"Mr. Earle, Young Sakura is not your poster girl" Lucius hissed and Lucius lead Sakura away.

"Can I call you Uncle Lucius?" Sakura asked as the two of them headed to a table.

"Of course, you can, if I can call you Gem, due to your beautiful eyes" Lucius replied and Sakura nodded.

"Uncle Lucius, it seemed you didn't like that man" Sakura said and Lucius chuckled with a slight sad look to his kind dark hazel eyes. While Lucius didn't say anything, Sakura could tell he didn't like the man at all and she smiled sadly.

"Gem, you know, your father will always protect you even Alfred or myself, we will stand by you till we old and we will always help you" Lucius whispered to her and she smiled.

Just then both heard the happy birthday song start up just as Bruce entered and Sakura ran up to him when the song finished.

"Papa, happy birthday" she handed him a card and he opened it and smiled.

'Thank you for helping me'

"You are very welcome" Bruce whispered just as William Earle came up to him "Sakura, could you find those nice crab sticks" she nodded and ran to where the maids were dishing out a few things.

Sakura was starting to get sleepy by 8pm when one of the maids saw her falling asleep at her table.

"Miss, come on, let's get you to bed" Marie said after one of the others told her about the young girl.

"Okay, Marie" Marie helped the young girl up and they left the hall and headed to Sakura's room.

"Here you go miss, your night dress is on your bed, sleep tight, I will let your father know" Sakura nodded and got out of her party dress before putting her her blue with white flowers night dress before jumping into bed where Marie left turning off the light.

Meanwhile, Lucius left the manor after telling Bruce about the Microwave emitter that was misplaced and when Mrs Delane pulled him to a man, telling him it was a Mr. Ra's al Ghul, but the bald man wasn't the real Ra's al Ghul was behind him.

Bruce talked to the man, but his eyes were looking for Sakura and he frowned.

"Your quarrel is with me... you let these people go" Bruce hissed and he spotted Sakura's main maid coming back down the stairs.

'Sakura must be in bed' Bruce thought and he looked at Ra's al Ghul.

"You are welcome to explain the situation to them" Bruce glared, but grew worried at the man who taught him all he knew to be the Batman.

"Everyone... Everybody?" Bruce walked to the middle of the room "I... I want to thank you all for coming tonight and drinking all of my booze" laughs around the room "No... Really... There's a thing about being a Wayne... That you're never short of a few freeloaders, like yourselves... to fill up your mansion with. So here's to you people. Thank you." Bruce said all the while growing worried about his daughter and if Alfred could here faster.

"That's enough Bruce" one of the board members told the younger man.

"I'm not finished... to all of you... all of you phonies, all of you two faced friends... you sycophantic suck-ups who smile though your teeth at me... please leave me in peace" Bruce looked around "Please go. Stop smiling, it's not a joke. Please leave. The party's over, get out" everyone left while Bruce saw the maid Marie running up to his daughter's room.

'Good she will be safe' Bruce thought, but one of the men saw her and grabbed her.

"Bruce Wayne said leave that means you as well" he heard and Marie was forced out, her eyes saying Sakura's upstairs alone.

"Amusing" Ra's al Ghul said as the last of the people left the hall leaving only Bruce and the league of shadows few members "But pointless. None of these people have long to live. Your antics at the asylum have forced my hand".

"So Crane was working for you" Bruce said looking around.

"His toxin is derived from the organic compound found in our blue flowers. He was able to weaponize it" Ra's replied and both started to walk towards the front door.

"He's not a member of the league of shadows?" Bruce asked watching members of the league follow them.

"Of course not. He thought our plan was to hold the city to ransom" Ra's told Bruce and they stopped.

"But really you are gonna release Crane's poison on the entire city" Bruce said and he turned to his old teacher, the man he respected, but now hated with passion and this one man was going to ruin Gotham because it has become to corrupt in it's ways.

"Then watch Gotham tear itself apart though fear" Ra's said and Bruce glared.

"You are gonna destroy millions of lives" Bruce replied and he followed Ra's to his front door.

"Only a cynical man would call what these people have 'lives' Wayne. Crime. Despair. This is not how man was supposed to live. The league of shadows has been a check against human corruption... for thousands of years. We sacked Rome. Loaded trade ships with plague rats... burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence... we return to restore the balance" Ra's said and Bruce was beyond shocked.

"Gotham isn't beyond saving. Give me more time. There are good people here." Bruce said before Ra's cut him off.

"You are defending a city so corrupt... we have infiltrated every level of its infrastructure... when I found you in that jail you were lost... but I believed in you... I took away your fear and I showed you a path... you were my greatest student... it should be you standing by my side saving the world" Ra's said and Bruce stared hard into Ra's eyes.

"I'll be standing where I belong... between you and the people of Gotham" Bruce answered and Ra's glared.

"No one can save Gotham" Ra's looked over Bruce's shoulder and nodded and Bruce heard crashes "When a forest grows too wild, a purging fire is inevitable and natural" Bruce heard water or something being dropped on the floor and in his mind, he was screaming to run and save his daughter "Tomorrow the world will watch in horror as its greatest city destroys itself... the movement back to harmony will be unstoppable this time" Ra's said as matches and thing felt warmer to Bruce.

"You attacked Gotham before?" Bruce asked staring into Ra's eyes.

"Of course. Over the ages our weapons have grown more sophisticated. With Gotham we tried a new one. Economics. But we underestimated certain of Gotham's citizens... such as your parents... gunned down by one of the very people they were trying to help. Create enough hunger and everyone becomes a criminal... their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself and Gotham has limped on ever since" the fire was now raging and Bruce looked at his old mentor "We are back to finish the job and this time no misguided idealists will get in the way. Like your father, you lack the courage to do all that is necessary. If someone stands in the way of true justice... you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart" Bruce turned and started to fight.

"I am gonna stop you" Bruce hissed when Ra's grabbed him.

"You never did learn... to mind your surroundings" a beam fell onto Bruce and Ra's walked out.

Meanwhile, Sakura got up when she smelt the fire and she ran out towards the grand stairs, she was coughing and she saw her father out cold on the floor.

"Papa" she screamed and beams of fire fell, making her run to the wall, she was scared of fire and she watched and hoped her father woke to help her.

She was coughing and losing hope, smoke was filling her lungs and she saw little black lights in her vision.

Just before she was about to drop she heard a voice that was welcome and she looked up.

There next to her father was Alfred and she smiled weakly.

"Papa" she called out with her remaining strength and she saw her father lift the log and both men ran to her, where Alfred grabbed her and picked her and placed her on Bruce's back before the three of them ran to the hidden door to the cave.

They got into the lift and headed down. Bruce sat down and placed Sakura in his lap with her head on his arm.

"Sakura" Bruce whispered and he touched her darken face that was covered in soot "Wake up, please" Bruce whispered and Alfred bent down "What have I done, Alfred?" Bruce whispered and Alfred looked at him then to Sakura who was breathing weakly "Everything my family... Sakura's hurt because of me... my father built..." Alfred lifted part of Bruce's dinner jacket and saw a bleeding wound.

"The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir, young Sakura cares a lot for you and myself, she will forgive you" Alfred told him and Bruce went on looking up.

"I wanted to save Gotham. I failed. I failed helping Sakura in finding a better family" Bruce whispered and Alfred looked at him in the eyes.

"Why do we fall, sir?" Alfred asked and Bruce looked at him "So that we can learn to pick ourselves up" Alfred told him and Bruce smiled sadly.

"You still haven't given up on me?" Bruce said and he looked at Sakura.

"Never" Alfred answered with a smirk " You and miss Sakura are now part of my family, I will always keep you and Miss Sakura a float" Alfred stood up and got Sakura out of Bruce's arm and took her to one of the table around the cave, before helping Bruce to them. Alfred stitched him up and helped on the Batman outfit.

"Alfred, keep Sakura safe and when she wakes let her know I will come back and could you look for a place for us to live a penthouse if you can" Bruce told him before entering the bat-car and driving out of the cave.

"I will" Alfred whispered and he hooked Sakura to a breathing machine to clear her lungs out.

For one hour, Alfred looked over Sakura and searched the hotels Bruce owned that had a large three room penthouse that could house them all.

"Alfred" Alfred turned to the table and smiled as he saw Sakura's bright green eyes opening.

"Hello Miss Sakura, your father is out saving the city, he will be back, how are you feeling?" Alfred asked walking over to her and she smiled.

"Okay" a small cough came out and Alfred sighed "You will be better soon, hopefully you don't get Asthma" Alfred whispered and together the two sat with a few coughs coming out from Sakura's mouth.

It wasn't till late that Bruce came back, Sakura was coughing, but bushy eyed and smiling as her father came out of the bat-car.

"Sakura" Bruce said in relief and ran to her hugging her "You awake and better" Bruce said as he took off the mask.

"No, she is coughing a bit, but it is slowing down, I have been keeping an eye on her, sir" Alfred said and Bruce smiled.

"Thank you, Alfred, by the way, James Gordon we can trust, but I will not tell him I am Batman till he is a little higher in the ranks or I must tell him" Bruce said picking up Sakura and she hugged his neck with her face in his shoulder.

The next week, Alfred was driving Sakura and Bruce to Sakura's new school Gotham's all girls elementary school.

"Batman may have made the front page... but Bruce Wayne got pushed to page eight" Alfred said and handed Bruce the newspaper where it had the heading.

DRUNKEN BILLIONAIRE BURNS DOWN HOME

Sakura looked at it and smiled sadly, she was about to say something when Bruce's mobile started to ring and Bruce put it on loud speaker.

"Bruce Wayne"

"What makes you think you can decide who's running Wayne Enterprises?"

"The fact that I'm the owner" Sakura giggled

"What are you talking about? The company went public a week ago"

"And I brought most of the shares. Through various charitable foundations and trusts and so forth. Look it's all a bit technical but the important thing... is that my company's future is secure for when my daughter is ready to take over... right, Mr. Fox?"

"Right you are, Mr. Wayne, didn't you get the memo?" Lucius answered and Bruce hung up making Sakura laugh.

"That was great papa, but do you really that I would take over?" Sakura asked looking at both Alfred and Bruce.

"Yes, I did, you may be adopted, but I named you my heir and the heir the Wayne family after I go" Bruce told her and she smiled.

"Miss Sakura, your school is coming up" Alfred said and Sakura turned and looked at her new school.

There was no Dudley, only girls and she thought this was the future.

"Have a good day, Sakura" Bruce said as Alfred stopped the car and Sakura nodded and headed out.

"I will, papa" Sakura replied and she walked into the grounds of the elementary school where she saw girls that she could get along with and not because they want her just so they can say they are friends with the heiress of the Wayne family.

Sakura found Gotham all girls school was great the teachers were nice and they helped her get use to it.

Alfred picked her up saying that Bruce was up at the manor seeing over the rebuilding and the two headed up there.

"Papa" Sakura yelled when she saw him with Rachel "Miss Rachel" Sakura said and Bruce smiled.

"Have a good day at school" Bruce asked and she nodded and the three of them walked out to Alfred.

"Proved me wrong, you know" Rachel said as she watched Sakura run to Alfred.

"About what?" Bruce asked.

"Your father would be very proud of you. Just like me" Rachel said and she left and Bruce walked over to where Sakura was looking in the burnt remains.

Bruce saw at his feet his father's stethoscope burnt and he opened it remembering a few times where his father showed him how to use it.

"What will you do?" Bruce looked up to Rachel.

"Rebuild it. Just the way it was, brick for brick" Rachel walked away and Sakura ran up to him.

"Just the way it was, sir?" Alfred asked and Sakura looked at them confused before shrugging and walking over to a few of the walls that were still there.

"These are amazing" Sakura whispered, she saw little stones under bricks and she touched them "Their eggs, but of what" Sakura whispered and she looked up.

There in front of her just on the outskirts of the burnt manor was a cave and she walked towards it.

She carried the eggs to the cave, thinking it was part of the bats family, but it wasn't there inside the cave was a creature, but it looked fast asleep and she smiled and placed the eggs near having the feeling they belong there with the mother.

The body was golden like as was the wings, the body looked like a lion while its wings and head was like a birds.

"Sleep tight" Sakura whispered and she left, she knew she would tell her father because the creature was asleep and it was better to be alone.

That night, Bruce had gone out again to see Sgt. Gordon while Alfred and herself ate desert and Sakura was smiling.

'This is a better life, but what was that creature?' Sakura thought and she got up and walked to the window seeing the light with a bat symbol disappear.

"Miss Sakura, time for you to get to bed, big test tomorrow I believe" Sakura nodded and left with a smile.

Alfred smiled as he watched his youngest charge walked up the stairs to the rooms and looked out of the window.

"You would be proud of her, she will be great when she is older, she will change the world, I can feel it" Alfred whispered to the clouds and he waited for Bruce in case he was hurt.

Chapter two – one year later, Griffins and two madmen

Alfred Pennyworth sighed as he watched Bruce Wayne go out for another round, but this one was during the day, Sakura was out with a school trip so Alfred got ready for her home coming.

It's been one year since the burning of the manor and adopting Sakura Potter.

Sakura was now ten years old, in two months she would be turning 11 and onto her final year till high, her teachers told Bruce and himself she was smart girl and they moved her up a year, it was coming up to winter holidays, not yet snowing but the chill was around.

"Alfred, I'm home" Alfred turned and saw Sakura standing there and he smiled.

"Welcome back, miss, how was the start of your last week?" he asked and Sakura smiled.

"It was interesting, I met one of the boys of Gotham's boys, his name is James Gordon Junior I think he is the son of Lt. Gordon" Sakura said as she placed her bag next to her chair and she walked over to the kitchen "Did you get any apples?" she asked and Alfred chuckled.

"I did, they are here next to me" Alfred told her and she turned and grabbed an apple.

"Where is papa?" she asked and Alfred looked at the clock.

"He is seeing Lt. Gordon, there was bank robbery again one of the mobs banks, Master Bruce knows there are five banks they use but which they are he doesn't, he was not in the penthouse this morning, he was in the bunker and will go there after he is finished, will you behave yourself miss, no more jumping on your bed" Alfred told her and she shook her head.

"I will not be doing that again, but I will be on the roof, watching Gotham move around and painting" Alfred nodded and headed out while Sakura grabbed her drawing book and ran upstairs, before going back down and grabbing five apples and heading up to the roof.

Alfred and Bruce rarely came up, so Sakura hid the creature she found in the small cave, she built a small hut and got the creature there safety in the dark of the night.

"Hey Zeus" Sakura said entering the hut and the griffin looked up.

'Food' the griffin said and Sakura chuckled and placed the five apples in the bowl.

"Did you go out last night Zeus" Sakura asked sitting down on her chair.

'I did, your father had those others that dressed like him again' Zeus said and Sakura sighed.

"That is not what he wanted, you know I wonder if my father will ever give up Batman" Sakura whispered before hugging her book to her and Zeus stood up.

'Sakura Potter, you father is a great man, never doubt that, I am your friend and always will be you helped those bird eggs survive before those men saw them or crushed them, you brought them to me and since then you and I became best friends, you know I can not tell the future, but I believe you are meant for great things' Zeus told her and she nodded and hugged his fur.

"Zeus, I have been wondering do I have magic?" Sakura asked and Zeus nodded.

'When I sensed you entering my cave, I felt like was truly awaken, I guarded that cave for hundreds of years, but your power waken me and ever since I felt like I needed to protect you, but till something happen comes I can not reveal myself' Zeus told her and she nodded.

"Sakura, are you up there?" Bruce's voice shouted up and Sakura hugged Zeus goodbye.

"Here" Sakura said coming to the roof door.

"What do you do up here anyway?" Bruce asked as the two walked down the steps.

"Paint" Sakura answered showing him a drawing of Gotham, not yet finished "I am hoping when the manor is finished I can put this up in the dinning hall or your room" Sakura told him as they came out to the kitchen.

"I will love it there, by the way, you and I are taking out the Prima ballerina of the Moscow ballet, her name is Natascha" Sakura grinned and hugged Bruce before running and getting dressed.

"Miss Natascha, you look stunning" Sakura heard an hour later and she was trying to fix her hair, before sighing and putting it into a pony tail with a white flower chip above it, she wore a simple dress with flats.

"Sakura, you look beautiful, come on and meet, Natascha" Bruce said and Sakura grabbed his hand and he took her to the lift where Natascha and Alfred were talking.

"Miss Sakura, very beautiful" Alfred said and Sakura blushed.

"Natasha, this is my daughter Sakura, Sakura this is Natasha of the Moscow ballet" Bruce introduced them and Sakura curtsied.

"Pleasure to meet you, I love your dancing style" Sakura commented and Natasha smiled.

"Thank you" Natascha's replied and together three of them went to the restaurant that they were eating.

When they got there, Bruce took Sakura's hand and Natasha followed them.

"Mr. Bruce Wayne, table for three" Bruce said and the waiter nodded pointing them towards the back where Bruce saw Rachel and the new DA.

"Rachel. Fancy that" Bruce said and Rachel looked at him seeing Sakura and another woman with him.

"Yeah, Bruce. Fancy that" Rachel replied.

"Rachel, Natascha. Natascha, Rachel" Bruce told his childhood friend.

"Natascha. Are you the Prima...?" Rachel started and Bruce finished.

"Prima ballerina for the Moscow Ballet" Bruce finished for Rachel.

"Wow. Harvey's taking me next week" Rachel told him and Bruce looked at the DA.

"Really. So you're into ballet? Oh sorry, this is my daughter Sakura" Bruce said after feeling a sharp pinch from his daughter.

"I'm Harvey Dent, Miss Sakura" Harvey said holding out his hand.

"Pleasure to meet you, sir" Sakura replied and Harvey looked at Bruce and shook his hand.

"The famous Bruce Wayne. Rachel's told me everything about you, but not that you had a daughter" Harvey said and Bruce looked at Rachel.

"I really only met Sakura on two different times, not really spoken to her" Rachel replied and Bruce nodded.

"Let's put a couple tables together" Bruce said and Harvey looked around.

"I'm not sure that they'll let us" he said and he heard a giggle.

"Papa owns this place" Sakura said with a smile "Papa, I am going and see Marie, she works here now plus I saw Pierre here" Bruce nodded and the four of them watched as Sakura ran to the kitchen where a man was and he hugged her.

"So, little bloom, how is school?" Pierre asked sitting down next to Sakura and she grinned.

"I love it, Pierre, papa, helps me with my homework if he understands it" she let out a giggle and Pierre smiled.

"I miss working at the manor, but this place is amazing, maybe on your holidays I will teach you to cook" Pierre said and Sakura jumped up.

"Really, but aren't I too small" she said sadly and Pierre placed a finger under her chin and lifting her head so their eyes met.

"No one is too small to cook" he told her and she grinned.

"Little Miss Sakura" Sakura turned and saw Marie, Pierre's wife and her old carer before the manor burnt down.

"Marie, I miss you so much" Sakura cried and Marie hugged the young girl to her while her husband was called to place Mr. Wayne's dishes on his table.

"Shh, little bird, little bird, you are safe with Alfred, he takes care of you, plus you now know I and Pierre work, so if you ever feel you are in danger come and see us, okay sweetie" Sakura nodded and Pierre came back in.

"Well, little bloom, what do you want for dinner? Do you want my world famous soup or the way you like your roast lamb?" Pierre asked and Sakura smiled.

"Soup please" Pierre nodded and went and got the soup ready.

Marie and Sakura talked till her meal came out and Marie had to go and finish taking out the meals for the other guests.

30 minutes later, Marie came and told her that her father was ready to leave and Sakura hugged the two good bye before running to her father, who picked her up and kissed her forehead.

"Did you have fun?" Sakura nodded and hugged him.

"It was nice to meet you Miss Sakura" Harvey said and Sakura smiled.

"Call me Sakura, only a few call me miss" Harvey nodded and he left with Rachel before Bruce took both Natascha and Sakura back, he dropped Natascha off at her hotel before he drove home.

Sakura went straight to bed due to it was her final day tomorrow and she wanted to look her best.

Sakura saw before she went to sleep the bat-signal go on and she knew something was wrong in Gotham and prayed that her father would be safe.

The next day, Sakura saw her father was out and Alfred said he would be going to Hong Kong for two days the next day, the start of her holidays and Sakura was sad but happy when Alfred told her that he was getting a bad man back.

Alfred and Bruce went to the new cave, while Sakura went to school where she learned about the choosing of schools they could go to.

When she got home however, she saw Alfred and Bruce packing for the trip.

"You stay safe" she said to them and they nodded.

"Marie will be coming in 20 minutes to take care of you till we come back" Bruce said and Sakura smiled and they left the penthouse and before Marie got there she went to see Zeus again where she told him what was going on.

'It is interesting, but be careful on the nights I go out, this Joker seems dangerous, so always be alert if you are ever ever near him or if he comes here call me' Zeus said and Sakura nodded at the griffin before heading back down to the kitchen to make herself a meal so Marie did not have to cook after cooking all day at the restaurant.

"Little bird, you look are looking well" Sakura turned and smiled at Marie.

"Thank you" she answered and soon the two caught up.

When it hit 10 pm Sakura headed to bed while Marie stayed in the guest room and a guard from down stairs that Alfred knew stayed at the door when the two headed to bed.

The next day, Alfred came back and hugged Marie when she got up before Sakura.

"How was Miss Sakura?" he asked the ex maid/cook of Wayne Manor.

"She was good, she went to bed at 10 because we were watching ice age 2 and she was starting to fall asleep" Marie answered and Alfred chuckled.

"Alfred, your back, is dad back yet?" the adults turned and saw Sakura before she hugged Alfred.

"Not yet tomorrow he will be" Sakura nodded and hugged Marie goodbye.

Marie left around lunch as she had to get home to her husband and Alfred had to start on the roast lamb due to Bruce would be coming home around in the early morning so he slow cooked the meat while Sakura was up on the roof with Zeus and drawing Wayne tower.

It was past 8:30 when Zeus told her that her father was coming.

'Sakura, you better get inside, your father is heading this way' Zeus said and Sakura nodded and packed up her things before heading down and getting into bed.

Bruce got in the penthouse around 7am after dropping off Mr. Lau at the police station and he fell asleep before being woken by Alfred due to it was the day of the fund-raiser.

Sakura heard Alfred talking and she ran down stairs and saw her father.

"Papa" she called out and she ran and hugged him.

"I think your fundraiser will be a great success, sir" Alfred said with a chuckle.

"And why do you think I wanna hold a party for Harvey Dent?" Bruce asked and Sakura let go and ran upstairs to Zeus.

"Zeus, something is wrong in Gotham City, am I right?" Sakura asked the griffin who was eating another apple.

'Yes, I will be ready if anything happens to you, but hide on the stairs behind the wall towards this door to the roof or under a table, but make sure what ever happens you stay safe' Zeus told her and she nodded before heading down and getting ready while her father went and got three other friends, all girls.

One of the maids helped Sakura get dressed into a violet and silver dress with ballet flats and her hair was placed into a bun with her butterfly clip though it.

"Hello Sakura" Rachel said seeing the young girl and she hugged her.

"Hello Rachel, I love your dress" Sakura replied and Rachel took the small girl by the hand to where Harvey was talking with Alfred.

"Miss Sakura, Miss Dawes, both of you look stunning, well I must be off, can you two mind Miss Sakura, Lucius is around somewhere, possibly not here yet" Alfred told them and they nodded.

"Mr. Dent" Harvey looked at Sakura "What you are doing is wonderful, cleaning Gotham to be a better place for me and my friends, the children of Gotham" Sakura said and Harvey chuckled.

"I am aren't I?" Harvey said proud of himself while Rachel went over and talked with Alfred more.

A helicopter could be heard and Sakura grinned.

"Papa is here, finally" she said and she ran to Alfred and Rachel.

"I'm sorry that I am late, but I'm glad to see that you all started without me. Now where is Harvey? Where..." Bruce spotted him and walked towards him "Harvey Dent, the man of the hour. Where's Rachel Dawes?" Bruce said and he spotted his daughter standing next to Rachel "She is my oldest friend. Come here. When Rachel first told me she was dating Harvey Dent... I had one thing to say: 'The guy from those god-awful campaign commercials'" Bruce looked around smiling as his daughter stood now with Alfred "'I believe in Harvey Dent.' yeah nice slogan Harvey. But you caught Rachel's attention. And I started to pay attention to Harvey... and all he's been doing as our new DA. And you know what? I believe in Harvey Dent. I believe that on his watch Gotham can feel... a little safer, a little more optimistic, plus what he is doing is the best thing for the children of Gotham" Bruce walked over to his daughter and picked her up "Safer for children like Sakura here, my young daughter is the future of Gotham and Harvey is making it better for her and all of us" everyone started clapping and Bruce placed Sakura down on the ground before heading out.

"Is your father like that a lot?" Harvey asked going to Sakura's level.

"Only to people he sees are doing good, he teases Lucius Fox a lot when he is over" Sakura replied and she went towards the kitchen seeing Marie and Pierre.

"Miss Sakura, your father wants you for a second" Alfred said just as Sakura was about to enter the kitchen and she walked out onto the balcony.

"Papa" she said and he turned to her.

"Sakura, you know I protect the city, well soon, with Harvey locking so many people away people will see as a hero not me" Sakura looked confused before understanding the words.

"Papa, please don't give up Batman, he is part of you" she whispered and Bruce smiled sadly.

"Soon I will give it up, like Harvey said at that dinner I can't do this my whole life" Bruce whispered and Sakura nodded and Bruce lead both of them inside where Sakura headed to the kitchen, when the lift to the penthouse opened from the corner of her eye and she saw the guard that talked to her the most and liked telling her stories fall down dead.

Alfred was near the lift before moving to the wall as five men with the Joker came in and Sakura's eyes widen.

She ran towards the tables towards where Rachel was and she stood slightly behind her.

"Okay, stop" Rachel called out and Rachel walked towards the Joker making him turn to her.

"Well Hello beautiful. You must be Harvey's squeeze. Hm?" Joker looked right of her towards Sakura and she moved out of his sight towards the stairs "Where that girl going?" he asked and the thugs moved towards the tables.

The joker moved around Rachel making her watch him as he circled her and Rachel sensed he was also looking for Sakura. Sakura however got under the tables towards the kitchen and hid watching the purple shoes of the joker move around.

Sakura listened and just as one of thugs got near the table she was under she heard her father's batman voice and a fight starting.

Sakura looked though the gap and saw Joker with his green hair and make up face with the ugly purple and green suit, he had Rachel in his arm with a knife to her neck, Alfred saw Sakura and walked towards her slowly along the walls.

Joker also saw her and he walked and grabbed Sakura and held both Rachel and Sakura and somehow had guns to their heads.

"Drop the gun" Bruce hissed his eyes were full of rage and Sakura sensed Zeus moving towards the edge of the roof.

"Sure remove your mask and show these people who you are" Joker said and Sakura grew scared.

'Sakura, call for me now' Zeus's voice yelled in her head just as the Joker shot the window behind them.

Joker made Rachel grab Sakura by the arm and the Joker held Rachel by her arm.

"Let them go" Batman hissed dangerous.

"ZEUS" Joker cover his ears when Sakura screamed out the hand and dropped Rachel forcing Sakura to fall and the griffin caught her as Batman jumped after Rachel.

Zeus landed in the room and everyone was in awe.

"You hurt my charge, the one who will change everything and now you die" Zeus hissed and Sakura grabbed his neck.

"Don't Zeus" she yelled and everyone looked at the girl in confusion "He will get what is coming to him, death, but not by you" Sakura whispered and everyone heard her.

"What is it?" Joker muttered before running out, but was stopped by Zeus who pushed him down.

"You dare hurt, my charge, I will hunt you down and skin you alive having nothing but bones" Zeus hissed his amber eyes looking into Joker's dark brown eyes.

Joker left with a limp and Sakura hugged Zeus.

"Go" she whispered and Zeus nodded and flew away.

"Miss Sakura..." Sakura quickly grabbed a small bag she hid on her leg and blew it on everyone but Alfred and the people left.

The next morning Bruce and Alfred stood in front of Sakura.

"What is that creature?" Bruce asked and Sakura sighed.

"His name is Zeus, he is a griffin I found him in a cave near the back of the manor, he guarded the Wayne manor for hundreds of years when Septimus Wayne built the manor back in the 18th century, Zeus will not tell me much of what I am meant to do, but I had to make everyone forget, but you two, till Zeus said it was time to show the world of this power" Sakura explained and Bruce walked over to his daughter.

"I am not mad, no I was worried that I couldn't catch both you and Rachel and when you yelled like that you hurt my ears, so what does every one think that happened?" Bruce asked and she grinned.

"Only that the Joker had Rachel and I was still under the table" she replied and Bruce smiled at her.

"Miss Sakura, could we meet Zeus?" Alfred asked and Sakura nodded.

"But not till this thing with the Joker is over, he watches over me and whoever I care about, he tells me what you have been doing at night, he sometimes follows you" Sakura told Bruce and Alfred laughed.

"Good to know that" he said and Bruce glared.

"Well, you better better get ready for the day, Alfred and I will be at the cave" Sakura nodded and she headed to her room.

"She is really like Thomas Wayne, sir" Bruce looked at him "Your father when he was young told his carer at the time of a creature in a cave, but I never looked into it, but the butler before me told me that Thomas said the creature was asleep" Alfred explained and Bruce nodded.

Soon only Sakura was in the penthouse and Zeus kept an eye on the front and back doors on the ground floor of the hotel making sure no one came into the penthouse plus there was a guard at the lift entering the penthouse and you had to have a key to head up.

As night came Alfred and Bruce came home and Bruce got dressed and headed up to the roof, where he saw the griffin lying in the moonlight.

"Thank you, for protecting Sakura" Bruce said and he put the mask on and the griffin looked up.

"Your daughter is someone born to be great, only time will if she is ready for her task" the griffin said and Batman stood on the edge.

"Sakura, ever since I met her I felt we were meant to be father and daughter" Bruce said turning on his radio feed going into phone lines.

"It was fate for you two to met, but Sakura was meant to find me in her hardest time, she was suppose to be fifteen when she found me, I guess that fate likes to change things, you better go" Zeus said and batman headed out to where he heard Harvey Dent was.

Sakura came out and walk towards the large griffin making him look at her.

"I thought you spoke though your mind, so when really spoke though your mouth I was in shock" Sakura told him and the griffin looked down before getting up and walked towards the other side of the building.

"I didn't talk normally due to fear of myself being heard by your father or Alfred, plus I wanted to protect you, you are the future and very soon you will find out why" Zeus told her and Sakura nodded and ran back down stairs to her room just as Alfred was leaving to meet Bruce at the cave.

It was the day of Commissioner Loeb's funeral, Sakura was on the roof over watching it Zeus flew her across so she could see it and pay her respect.

"You know, I sense is going on it the next few days, on friend James Gordon Jr will need you close" Zeus commented as he laid out of sight.

"Why?" Sakura asked looking at her protector.

"You will see, this is fate" Zeus whispered and Sakura kept on watching.

As the parade came to the stage and stopped, Sakura bowed her head as the mayor started to speak.

"Commissioner Loeb dedicated his life to law enforcement and to the protection of his community. I remember when I first took office and I asked if he wanted to stay on as commissioner" Sakura blanked out and stood up before walking over to the edge on the other side.

Soon the honour guard came and the shots were fired into the sky, Sakura ran to the edge ducking down and watched the guard shot more into the air.

Before more shots were fired all over the place and Sakura looked around the screaming people and saw James Gordon face down on the stage.

Sakura looked at Zeus who had his head bowed and she felt tears falling onto her lap.

"Take me to Jimmy's place please" Zeus nodded and let Sakura his back before flying off towards James Gordon's home where the family was about to get the most horrible news.

Zeus landed behind the house and Sakura got off before he went and hid, but kept an eye on Sakura.

"Oh Sakura, how are you?" Barbara said opening the door and Sakura smiled.

"Is Jimmy home?" Sakura asked and the woman nodded and lead Sakura inside where Jimmy was watching a cartoon about G.I. Joe.

"Jimmy, Sakura is here" Jimmy turned and got up with the biggest smile on his face.

"It's good to see you, Saki" Jimmy whispered and together the two talked about what school they were hoping to get into, but it was night time when I door bell rang and Barbara opened it, there stood two of the officers that worked with James Gordon and Sakura knew it was the news that James was dead.

"No" Jimmy and Sakura walked to the door as Barbara started to cry 'No' over and over.

Both Jimmy and Sakura saw Batman on the fire escape and Sakura saw bow his head knowing she was there, before she saw Zeus near the stand of the bridge.

As Jimmy and Sakura slept that night, Sakura felt that more danger was coming and she looked up.

"Papa" she whispered when Batman was at the window.

"Don't worry, Zeus told Alfred who told me who were here after seeing Jim fall, but in the morning I will get Alfred to come and pick you up" Sakura nodded and Bruce left.

Barbara was crying still as the doorbell and she opened it and saw Alfred Pennyworth there.

"Shh, Mrs Gordon" as he hugged her and Barbara looked at him "Yes, I have come to bring Miss Sakura back home, Master Bruce is out at Wayne Enterprises getting a few things" Barbara nodded and both saw Sakura standing there with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry sweet heart, Jimmy, Sammie and I will be fine in the future, it is a time of mourning at the moment" Barbara told the young girl and she nodded before taking Alfred's hand and the two left.

"Your father is turning himself in very shortly, he made sure no one could take you away and made me your guardian" Alfred told Sakura and Sakura nodded.

Alfred and Sakura finally got back to the penthouse where Rachel was standing was the TV as the press Conference came on.

"Miss Dawes, Miss Sakura I will be in the kitchen getting a meal ready" the two nodded and Rachel looked at the young girl.

"Sakura, you can always stay with me and Harvey" Rachel told her and Sakura smiled.

As Harvey spoke and towards the end to where Bruce was about to turn himself, both women stood in shock as Harvey spoke the next words.

"I am the Batman" Sakura watched as Rachel walked to Alfred and Sakura ran to Zeus.

"Zeus, my father let Harvey Dent take the fall for him" Sakura cried and Zeus looked down.

"Your father must have something planned" Zeus whispered and Sakura cried with both tears of sadness and happiness.

Sadness for Rachel who was down heading out of the hotel and going towards Harvey while the happiness was she got to keep her father.

As night came, Sakura sat on the roof with Zeus watching as streets were cleared as Harvey and his police escort went though the streets of Gotham City, when she saw a fire blocking the way and the trucks disappeared.

"Zeus fly towards the river" Sakura cried and she got onto him watching as a van that held a few swat guys into the river, but Sakura wanted to see her father in real action.

"The truck with Harvey is topside and the man Joker is behind him, your father I don't know where" Zeus said as he flew above the buildings before landing on the Wayne Tower and Sakura saw her come out from an alley and he drove towards the Joker's truck and soon watched as the truck flipped.

Bruce drove towards a now lone Joker as he shot at cars before he went to his side and fell to the ground.

"Zeus" Sakura whispered and Zeus watched as the Joker moved to the still Bruce Wayne as Batman.

"Your father will be fine, watch" Zeus whispered and Sakura frowned before watching the joker jump on her father when a man in police uniform came to the back of Joker's head. Zeus flew Sakura down to an alley way and she watched the man with a voice she knew flipped Joker onto his back and pointed the gun into the man's face.

"We got you, you son of a bitch" James Gordon said with anger before James went to the truck that held Harvey in it.

"I better get you home to Alfred, Sakura, I will watch for your father" Sakura nodded and got back onto Zeus and he flew her back to the penthouse. When it was time for bed, Sakura kissed Alfred on the cheek and headed into her room.

It was 3am when Sakura was woken by a loud bang and she ran up just in time to see another before a third and she gasped.

"The war has started, the Joker's war on Gotham" Zeus said and Sakura nodded.

The morning came and Sakura walked down and saw her father sit wearing the batman body suit and he was sitting by the window.

"Papa" she whispered and walked over to him as Alfred came in and she curled into her father's arms.

"Prepared a little breakfast" Alfred said and Sakura was wrapped in her father's arm as he placed the tray down "Very well then" Alfred started back towards the kitchen when Bruce spoke.

"Alfred"

"Yes, Mr. Wayne?"

"Did I bring this on her?" Sakura looked into her father's eyes and saw that somehow Rachel was dead "I was meant to inspire good... for Sakura... for the people of Gotham... not madness or death" Bruce hugged his daughter to him.

"You have inspired good. Your daughter respects you. But you spat in the faces of Gotham's criminals. Didn't you think there might be casualties?" Sakura had tears running down her face and Bruce rubbed her back "Things always get worse before they get better" Sakura looked at Alfred and his heart broke for her.

"But Rachel, Alfred, what if it was Sakura or even yourself he caught, I don't forgive myself for her death, I should have known it was trick" Bruce whispered.

"Rachel believed in what you stood for... what you are doing? What the three of us stand for" Alfred bent down and picked up one of Batman's arm protecters "Gotham needs you" Alfred said.

"No, Gotham needs its true hero... and I let the murdering psychopath blow him half to hell" Bruce muttered and Sakura stood up before running to the roof.

"Zeus it was Rachel that was killed and Harvey is badly hurt" Sakura cried and Zeus bowed his head.

"The Joker, dear little one, will be stopped" Zeus said and Sakura nodded before hearing Alfred call for her.

As the three ate lunch the TV was on and all three heard the news come on.

"He's credible, an M & A lawyer from a leading consultancy. He says he's waited as long as he can for Batman to do the right thing. Now he's taking matters into his own hands. We'll be live at 5 with the true identity of the Batman" the news caster said and Alfred turned that off before he went on with cleaning up the kitchen.

"He works for you doesn't he papa?" Sakura asked and Bruce nodded.

When the news came on, Sakura was up with Zeus watching the crowds on the streets before finishing her drawing of Wayne Tower.

Alfred walked up to where Sakura was normally and saw her drawing one of the hospitals.

"Miss Sakura, there will be something happening soon, Joker's voice just ran though the TV and he said if that made Coleman Reese wasn't dead in an hour, then the Joker would blow up a hospital, I am telling you so Zeus can get you away towards Wayne manor if anything happens" Alfred said and he saw Sakura's eye widen.

"Alfred maybe I can go and see Jimmy, is that okay?" Alfred nodded and Sakura ran to her room packing an overnight bag, before going back and seeing no Alfred.

"Get on, I will head there now" Sakura nodded at Zeus and Zeus flew towards Sakura's only true friend since she has been for a year.

Sakura surprised Barbara when she knocked and Jimmy pulled her to his room.

Jimmy turned on the TV and put on a show called 'Growing up Creepie' about a girl growing with bugs and all types.

It was 45 minutes later when the family and Sakura heard something blow up and Sakura and Jimmy ran to the kitchen window and saw it was the way towards Gotham general and the mushroom cloud appeared over it.

"Stay inside" Barbara told them.

Zeus watched over the house from the shadows as night slowly came and Zeus bowed his head.

"You seem deep in thought, Zeus" Zeus turned and saw a tall woman walking towards him.

"Tara, I thought you stayed in the mountains" Zeus said and the woman laughed.

"The fates sent me to tell you that the time for Sakura to chose of which path she will follow is around the corner, she should chose to go to Hogwarts like her birth parents or should she follow the steps of Bruce will is fast coming around, it is her choice Zeus, but be careful to not reveal yourself tonight, old friend" Tara disappeared and Zeus sighed.

"Bloody sirens" he muttered and went on watching the house.

Sakura watched as Barbara answered the phone and she frowned.

"Kids, come on we have to go" Barbara said.

Zeus looked up and saw Barbara taking the children away from the home and she drove off.

Zeus followed them to one of the bomb sites where Barbara and the kids were grabbed and pulled inside the building, one where Zeus couldn't help till Sakura called for him.

Sakura was crying, Jimmy and Sammie were next to her as the man she met weeks ago handed Barbara a cell phone.

"Call Gordon and get him down him or I will kill one of you" Harvey Dent hissed, Sakura saw the half of his face was burnt and the other was fine.

"Jim, we're in trouble... he has the kids and Sakura Wayne" Barbara cried and Dent grabbed the phone.

"Hello Jim... where my family died?" Harvey hissed and he hung up.

"Please let Sakura go, she has nothing to do with this" Barbara cried and Harvey laughed.

"She knew, Rachel left that penthouse and she never said a word" Harvey hissed and Sakura whimpered.

'This man was to be the white knight, now he is what he hated to be called 'Two-face' a villain and one who plays with a person's life by chance via a coin' Sakura thought and she watched the man walked around.

Sakura knew to call Zeus, but she didn't yet trust Jimmy, Sammie or Barbara with the secret of the griffin.

30minutes they waited till Sakura heard a car door close and Jimmy whimpered into his mother's arms.

"DENT!" Gordon's yells entered the building and Sakura saw Harvey glaring or daring any of them to say a word and sounds of footsteps going up the stairs before they went silent.

'Please let everyone be safe and sound' Sakura thought as she watched Dent move behind a the wall.

She saw James Gordon running to them before he was hit from behind by Dent with the butt of the gun and Harvey pushed the man over to face him.

"This is where they brought her, Gordon, after your men handed her over, after Sakura Wayne saw her leaving that penthouse. This is where she died"Dent said looking up and James moved up seeing Sakura next to his wife, just behind Jimmy.

"I know, I was here... trying to save her" James whispered as he moved onto his elbows.

"But you didn't" Dent slightly yelled.

"I couldn't" James argued.

"Yes could have. If you'd listened to me. If you stood up against corruption... instead of doing your deal with the devil... you didn't question yourself and see if it was her that was missing, you knew I was, you didn't ask Sakura here if she knew where my girlfriend was" Harvey hissed moving towards James.

"Sakura is a child, I didn't even know Rachel was at the penthouse" James yelled.

"But you still made a deal with the devil" Dent hissed his voice growing louder and Sakura winced.

"I was trying to fight the mob" James yelled and Dent pointed the gun in his hand to James.

"You wouldn't dare try to justify yourself if you knew what I'd lost. Have you ever had to talk to the person you loved the most... tell them it's gonna be all right when you know it's not?" Dent asked looking at Sakura and James's family "Well you're bout to know what that feels like Gordon" Sakura looked at James begging to help her and his family, her best friend "Then you can look me in the eye and tell me you're sorry".

"You're not going to hurt my family nor Sakura Wayne" James whispered and Dent smirked.

"No. just the person you love most" Sakura knew she was safe, but Jimmy wasn't he was the apple of James Gordon's eye and Dent walked over to them and cocks the gun pointing it at Barbara "So is it your wife?"

"Put the gun down, Harvey" James said his voice a little panicked and Sakura felt the gun move to her.

"No, Sakura will get her own death in front of her father and that butler they will two die for not protecting Rachel" Harvey said and moved the gun to James's daughter.

"Harvey please put the gun down" James said his voice raising and Harvey pointed the gun to Jimmy and Sakura held him.

"Your son then" Harvey said and James's eyes widen.

"Will you stop pointing that gun at my family?" James yelled.

"NO" Barbara yelled as Harvey grabbed Jimmy.

"Jimmy" Sakura cried out and Barbara hugged her to protect for her father.

"We have a winner" Harvey said and pulled the boy out away from Barbara.

"No, Jim, stop him... don't let him" Barbara cried.

"Harvey" James started to get up, but was forced down when a pain happened in his shoulder "I'm sorry... for everything... but please don't hurt my son" James said and the group heard dogs barking.

"You brought your cops?" Harvey said with a roll of his eyes making his burnt side creep Sakura out.

"All they know is there's a situation... they don't know who or what. They're just creating a perimeter" James told him and Sakura winced as Harvey growled out.

"You think I wanna escape from this? There is no escape from this" Sakura then sensed her father had entered and his voice came from the shadows

"You don't want to hurt the boy, Harvey" Batman hissed and Sakura watched as he entered, Sakura knew she was now safe as her father had come looking a little beat up, but still himself.

"It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair... you thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But you were wrong. The world is cruel and the only only morality in a cruel world... is chance" Sakura saw Dent holding a coin and she started to tear up "Unbiased. Unprejudiced. Fair. His son's got the same chance she had. Fifty-fifty" Dent muttered and looked down at the coin.

"What happened to Rachel wasn't chance. We decided to act. We three" Batman hissed and Sakura looked at her father and he was glaring at Harvey.

"The why was it me who was the only one who lost everything?" Harvey yelled and Sakura saw her father look down.

"It wasn't" Batman whispered nearly sounding like Bruce Wayne, not that Harvey or Gordon caught it.

"The Joker chose me" Harvey yelled.

"Because you were the best of us. He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you... could fall" Batman argued back and Sakura could sense it was nearing the time of the coin flip to see who lives and dies.

"And he was right" Harvey muttered.

"You are the pointing the gun, Harvey... so point at the people responsible" Sakura looked at her father in shock and tears started to fall as Harvey grinned.

"Fair enough... you first" Harvey said and he flipped it before smirking and shooting the gun at Batman and Sakura cried, she knew not to say a word due to Bruce Wayne and Batman could not be connected to her.

'Please let him be okay' Sakura prayed and she heard another cocking of the gun.

"My turn" Harvey said and flipped the coin before he smiled "I live" he said and Gordon looked at him.

"Harvey, you're right. Rachel's death was my fault, but please don't punish the boy... please punish me" James said and Harvey smirked.

"I'm about to" he said with a smirk, true evil smirk "Tell your boy, he's gonna be all right, Gordon. Lie... like I lied" James was fighting with himself before he answered.

"It's going to be all right, son" he told Jimmy and Harvey flipped the coin and just as it went into the air, Batman pounced and both Harvey and Jimmy left over the edge.

Barbara screams and Sakura moves away before getting up and running to the edge with James helping Jimmy up before James turned back to Batman.

Sakura watched in horror as her father fell to the ground and she ran down.

"Sakura" James yelled and he followed her after he made sure Jimmy was safe with Barbara.

"Dad" Sakura whispered before James got down there.

"Dad? Daddy, is he okay?" Jimmy asked from his spot.

Sakura smiled as Bruce awoke with a pant just before Gordon could call for someone.

As Batman stood Sakura and James followed as he walked over to Harvey.

"Thank you" James said to batman and Sakura grinned from behind the two.

"You don't have to thank me" Bruce answered.

"Yes, I do... the joker won" James muttered and Sakura walked over to him "Harvey's prosecution everything he fought for... undone" James sighed before he saw Sakura before looking back at Batman "Whatever chance you gave us at fixing our city dies with Harvey's reputation" James went on and Sakura saw that her father was in pain "The future is undone, for the children like Jimmy and Sakura they may never know a clean city" James told the Batman grabbing Sakura's hand.

"The city doesn't die with him because I will not let it" Batman pushed Harvey's head to show his good side, the burnt hidden "You either die a hero... or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain... I can do those things... because I'm not a hero, not like Dent" Batman looked down to his daughter before looking back to Gordon "I killed those people. That's what I can be" Batman said and James Gordon's eyes widen.

"No, no, you can't. You're not" he said and Sakura looked away knowing what was possibly about to be said next.

"I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call it in" Batman said handing him a phone.

"They'll hunt you" Gordon said.

"You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me. Set the dogs on me, because that's what needs to happen... because sometimes... the truth isn't good enough... sometimes people deserve more... Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded..." Batman began to run and Jimmy just got down while Sakura smiled knowing he will be home when she gets back.

"Why's he running, dad" Jimmy asked and James looked at him before answering.

"Because we have to chase him" James answered and he looked at Sakura before Jimmy spoke.

"He didn't do anything wrong" Jimmy said before all watched as the dark knight of Gotham City disappeared as they heard dogs barks and men yelling.

"Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him... because he can take it... because he's not our hero... he's a silent guardian... a watchful protector... a dark knight" James answered and he smiled at the two children "Well Sakura, I believe Alfred said your Bruce would be home, so lets get you home" James told the young girl and she smiled "Your father will have to be told what happened tonight, you know that, don't you Sakura" James told her and she nodded again.

"Papa, will be worried and scared for me if I was lost tonight" Sakura answered and James agreed before heading to his car where Barbara and Samantha were waiting.

"I am taking Sakura back to her home, then we will go home, I will not work for a week or till they need me" Barbara nodded and James drove as Zeus followed them back before landing on the roof of the penthouse.

Chapter three – The talks and of strange dreams and the creepy letters

James drove to the driveway of the penthouse above the hotel and he smiled sadly at the young girl.

'She shouldn't have gone though that, she is too young like Jimmy' James thought and Sakura looked at him and then the door.

"Thank you, Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon, I am sorry what you had to go though" Sakura whispered as James stopped the car and he got out and walked around to Sakura before bending to her level.

"It was not your fault, let no tell you that it was, Harvey Dent was a man that was depressed and the Joker could that as a way to bring him down to the level of a bad guy, just remember you have your father and Alfred is it, caring for you, plus now you have me, I will always keep an eye out for you keep the danger away if I can help" James told her and Sakura had tears running down her face.

"Thank you, Mr. Gordon" she said and James chuckled.

"Please call me James or Jim" he told her and she smiled.

"How about Uncle James, Lucius Fox is also a man I see as an Uncle can you be an Uncle as well" Sakura asked and he nodded and hugged her before the doors of the hotel opened and Alfred came out.

"Hello Commissioner, thank you for bringing back Miss Sakura" James nodded and shook Alfred's hand.

"Is her father home?" Alfred sighed and shook his head.

"Master Bruce is currently at Wayne Tower working, but Miss Sakura will be safe within the walls of the penthouse" Alfred told the Commissioner and James nodded.

"Will it be okay if I come around tomorrow, I need to tell Mr. Wayne about what has happened" James told the butler and Alfred nodded.

"I will let you in, could you come around the penthouse around 11am" James nodded and left Sakura with Alfred before taking his family back home.

Sakura ran upstairs and hugged Zeus crying as Alfred followed her and waited as the griffin kept her hidden in his wing.

"Zeus" Sakura whispered and the griffin looked at her "Is papa safe?" the griffin nodded and both Sakura breathed in relief and she looked to Alfred.

"Come along Miss Sakura, let's get you into bed, Commissioner Gordon will be around in the morning to tell Bruce and I what happened, I know Bruce will know some, but not all of it, you will have to tell us and Commissioner Gordon does not know what happened before he got to where ever you and his family were kept" Alfred told the young girl and she nodded before she entered her room.

"You better have bandages and needle and thread, because papa was shot by Harvey Dent" Alfred nodded and the door to Sakura room closed.

It was 10:30 in the morning when Alfred heard a bang from Sakura's room before he heard a loud.

"Damn clock" he heard and chuckled while Bruce shook his head.

"I think she really does hate that clock, what time did she get in?" Bruce asked as he grabbed a piece of toast.

"Around 1am, she was really scared of what happened" Alfred whispered and Bruce looked down.

"I could see it, when she looked at me when I arrived at the place, she was scared she was going to die, I don't want to see her that scared again" Bruce whispered and the doorbell rung and both looked up and Alfred answered it.

"Welcome to Wayne Penthouse, Commissioner Gordon" Alfred said bowing and Bruce stood up.

"Welcome Commissioner" Bruce said and James shook both men hands when another crashed happened but it was off above them and Alfred sighed.

"Just Miss Sakura's normal way to start a day" he told the shocked man and just then the girl in the talk appeared, her hair a mess and she had paint on her top and shorts.

"Sakura" Bruce said and the girl turned.

"Hello Uncle James" she said and the man smiled.

"You got yourself in a mess, haven't you" Sakura blushed and got her hair normal before sitting down.

"Commissioner..." Bruce started but James stopped him.

"Please, call me James or Jim, seeing as Sakura has started to call me Uncle, you as her father can call me Jim" Bruce nodded and Alfred looked at the man.

"If it is alright with you I prefer calling guests of Master Bruce or Miss Sakura, I always call them their surname before mrs or mr" James nodded and Sakura smiled.

The three of them sat down around the dinning table as James looked at Sakura.

"Sakura, before I got to 250 52nd street, how were you and my family brought there" James asked and Sakura looked down.

Sakura told them all she remembered right up to the point where James came and he took over seeing Sakura about to cry, Bruce even though he knew what went on when he arrived, he felt that Gordon needed a few months before he as Batman showed up again and told him the truth.

"Miss Sakura, what you were saying was something very brave, but many young children tell adults what happened to them only parts due to their fear" Alfred told her seeing tears run down as James spoke about how her father as Batman ran away and what he told Jimmy and herself.

"I know, but I am not brave" Sakura whispered and all three looked at her.

"Sakura, you are, you may have run from those relatives of yours, but you did so you could live, you were brave every day in their hands, but when Alfred and I found you, I knew you were a lucky one, one child who knew the odds were against you in one of the most dangerous city in the world, but still you ran and now you are braver because you opened up more, you are braver than I was when my parents were taken" Bruce told her and Sakura nodded.

"Well I better head off, Sakura, you can come and see myself at the new station soon and see Jimmy, take care of yourself" James told her and Sakura nodded and James left.

That night, once Sakura had gone to bed, she felt someone or something watching her, it wasn't Zeus even through Zeus does watch over the penthouse, it was not him that she felt.

"Okay, who is there?" Sakura asked turning around and saw no one. Till a male laughed filled the room, it was a truly strange laugh and Sakura looked around in terror thinking it was the Joker.

"Just someone who is interested in reading your future young Miss Sakura Potter" Sakura watched as a man appeared in the her room.

"Who are you?" she asked tilting her head.

"I am one of the oldest fays around, created by deals and wishes, you my dear, have am interesting future, Let me introduce myself, my name is Rumplestiltskin" Sakura looked at the man in shock.

"But I thought you did not say your name, you had to have whoever you were dealing with guess your name" Sakura told him and the man grinned.

"I told you my name because, your parents, your birth parents made a deal with me that you would be protected, so I have been watching over you and that so called aunt and uncle of yours, what truly made me angry was when they lied to you" Sakura looked at him in shock.

"About what?" she asked and Rumplestiltskin laughed strangely making Sakura raise her eyebrows.

"You will find out soon enough, you may hate those pigs and the horse, but know this, you are the future of two worlds, when the time comes I will come again and I will give you something that you and your new father will need" Rumplestiltskin disappeared in a puff of smoke and Sakura looked around as she spotted a note on her bed.

'May the water flow as free as you will be'

As Sakura placed the note on her mirror, she looked out towards the moon and she smiled before frowning.

"What did Rumplestiltskin mean by all of that?" Sakura asked out loud before moving into her bed and falling asleep.

Sakura stood in a forest, a circle of stone surrounded her and creatures of many stood around in the gaps.

Before the scene changed and she was standing watching a man in black walk towards a small two story house before voices came from inside.

"Lily's it's him run, take Sakura" a male voice yelled and Sakura watched in horror as a red headed woman ran upstairs as a black haired man fought the black robed man, no man creature before the scene faded and another appeared.

"You and I would be great together" a hissing voice said before the scene faded.

"PAPA" Sakura could hear herself a lot older, but she couldn't see anything before she watched as her father fly off in a plane like thing with a bomb going over towards the ocean before she was grabbed and she was being held by a man.

"Annie, calm down" the man whispered, but she could hear a great sadness for her father.

The scene changed and she was facing a snake like man holding a strange stick before red and green light connected.

"Miss Sakura, wake up" Sakura opened her eyes and saw Alfred's concerned face before she grabbed him.

"Alfred, I am scared" she whispered and Alfred hugged her before her thoughts turned to that dream or was it a nightmare, whatever that dream was about, she hoped it was wrong she knew one of those voices.

"You and I would be great together" Sakura shook her head, she would never in all of her life go with that creature for he was no man, he was a killer and she would never even think of going with him. The Joker killed her father's love, nearly killed her and hurt Harvey Dent, made him into a killer before her father ended him before he could hurt Jimmy.

"Alfred is everything all right" Sakura looked up to her father, tears running down her face.

"Papa, tell me you will never be Batman again please promise me" Sakura begged running to her father and hugging him.

"I promise, Sakura, the time of batman has ended" Bruce replied and Sakura nodded before she saw it was 4:56am in the morning and blushed as both Alfred and her father were in Pjs, her father in pants and no top while Alfred was in a jumpsuit.

"Sorry, about waking you up" Sakura muttered before walking to her bed and hugging her knees.

"Miss Sakura, you had a bad dream, it is okay to wake us up, you need to know that it was not real" Alfred said walking to her and sitting next to her.

"Sakura even if I was still Batman, I would come and give you a hug and stay with you till I knew you were going to be alright" Bruce told his daughter and Sakura gave a small smile before she laid back down, her father's arms around her and she soon fell asleep.

"Master Bruce, do you want to stay here?" Alfred asked and Bruce smiled.

"Till it is breakfast time, maybe pancakes would be best after what has happened" Bruce said and Alfred smiled.

"Of course, sir, I will have them ready at 9:30" Bruce smiled and nodded before Alfred left.

"Oh, my sweet girl, your terrors are only just beginning" Rumplestiltskin whispered from the darkest before he left the penthouse and appeared on the roof.

"I was wondering if it was you I sense" Zeus muttered before opening an amber eye and starring at the deal maker.

"It was time for me to appear, her dangerous journey is about to start, I hope you are ready Lord Zeus because ours and many others charge, our future lies in that young girl" Rumplestiltskin said before walking to the edge.

"What are you going to do?" Zeus asked standing.

"Watch over her, that was the job her parents assigned me when I came to them to see her for myself, while you have yet to tell her the truth, haven't you Lord Zeus" Rumplestiltskin replied before looking at the griffin.

"She will and must find the truth for herself, you better go Rumplestiltskin, but you know better than all of us, she must do her journey without our help till she has met the great one, the one corrupted by evil, but will live" Zeus said and Rumplestiltskin nodded before disappearing.

When the sun did come over the city of Gotham, Alfred awoke and started to prepare the pancake batter before the lift was turned on and Alfred frowned and walked over as a guard entered.

"Mr. Pennyworth, this arrived for young Miss Sakura, by the strangest way... it was an owl" Alfred was handed the letter and saw on it Miss Sakura's room, where she was and what city she was in.

"Get rid of it" Alfred told the guard and he nodded and headed out.

Over the next few days, letters kept on coming and creeping both Bruce and Sakura out, either they wanted to read this letter for they didn't know who it was from, no return address or anything.

I may finish this if you want me to or at least add in the comments.
