Elliot's dad was a drinker.
And a fiend.
His mother would tell him to be quiet, but she said it in a nice way.
Hush, she said, that word stuck with him, be quiet, nothing to see, nothing to hear, don't worry, sleep well.
Except he couldn't he could never.
He remembered the nursery she would read for him. He always rememberd it...
That's what he would say to his victims, that's how he would calm them down. Before he ended them.
Bruce had a different life.
His dad was always kind to him, his mother too.
At bed he would read him a nursery too.
"Beware the Court of Owls, that watches all the time, ruling Gotham from a sahdowed perch, being granite and time, They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed, speak not a whispered word of them, or they wil send the Talon for your head."
Bruce never rememberd much of his child hood, at least not the happy part.
Elliot remembered everything.
One day he recieved an invitation.
They were from high society, but lived underground.
In old Gotham, the broken city.
Owls were watching him, they knew everything. But they didn't want to expose him. They wanted to use him.
