26 Truth

----William's POV----

"Hmm?" Stephanie raises her eyebrow as she sits on crossed legs questioning us. Her fierceness look was quite tempting. What the hell am I supposed to tell her? I'm also shocked as she is. I don't understand what happened earlier, everything's a mess. Stephanie turns her head and looks at me.

"I don't know either! When we enter the headquarters, Clark was inside on one of the rooms. As I went in, I noticed him standing as he was looking at something then the next thing I know he was running towards me yelling that there a bomb then... the bomb went off." I answer with an irritated look on my face.

Stephanie didn't expect what happened. She turns quiet after hearing my statement. I can totally tell she's surprised but she not showing it on her face. Clark was still lying on the bed, slightly being gloomy.

"So, how did you guys survived?"

"The bomb was not that big, it is strong but couldn't take to whole headquarters. When Clark run towards me luckily we hid on a something like a plank of wood but Clark fell on top of me then one part of the roof knock him down it pierce on the side of his stomach. Good thing I have gotten rid of it."

Stephanie nod on relief but something was quite bothering her.

"How did you know that there's a bomb planted there? You saw something am I right? Brother?" Stephanie looks at Clark in sharp eyes. Come to think of it he did say that there's a bomb before it went off! Just what did he saw earlier!? We both look at him in suspicion. Clark was still in his cold faced not getting bothered by it. God, I hate his face!

"It's about father..." Clark says as he sits upon the bed.

Stephanie both shocked by what he said. Wait? What? Father? Theirs? They're hiding something from me...! They never told me about their father? How is it related to this shit?

"Wait! What father!?" I yell at them confusingly.

"Shut up! I'll kill you if someone heard you!" Stephanie's deadly eyes glare at me. Those mad eyes are definitely telling me something is wrong.

"Is it... Okay to tell William?" Stephanie asks Clark with hesitant.

Not okay... to... tell me...? W-what...? I'm so dang confused.

The rooms fell silent, no one was willing to talk and break the atmosphere. Stephanie looks away trying to avoid the situation while Clark was resting his eyes. Leaving me confused as hell, can't fit in on the conversation.

"The reason why we established the Dark knight is... we want to find out the real cause of our father's death." Clark says in his cold tone. Both of them somehow turn gloomy. They both suddenly feel down but the terrified look on their faces was still there. Their father? They... never told me that... I thought the only reason they built it is that they want to kill some assholes who are being too greedy and a threat to the underworld. Having that kind of reason is impossible... suddenly interfering on the underworld just to slay some asshole is not.... something that can be easily done. What they're really after is seeking their father's death truth. I grip tightly on my fist despise of not knowing the truth.

"So what really happened?" Stephanie stands up on her seat not being able to carry anymore longer while arm's crossed her piercing gaze facing Clark.

------Flashback------

----Clark's POV----

As I was sneaking on the enemy base actually it's not really their base, it's just like a house that just used I think for their meeting place, the hallway was unexpectedly empty. William was left behind taking care first of the mess earlier before coming along. The house was an antique design, it was quite spectacular for someone to use it as their so-called hideout. I was wandering my eyes around and I noticed something's not right. My men were behind me high on guard as they pointing their guns waiting for an ambush while I was there walking calm but my guard isn't off. Hmm...

Suddenly an eye-catching room caught my attention. Its door was filled with attractive design, wavy curls covered the entire door as the light shines on it. Why do I feel like something besides this door? The urge to open this door inside me is eating me away. Ugh... Damn...

"I'm going in, others guard the door and the rest continue the search." They all nodded and move on their positions right away. The ones who will continue patrolling continue walking forward leaving the others who will stay behind me.

"Guard the door, I want to be alone." I was about to enter the door giving them cold shoulder they both hesitant to follow my orders.

"What?" I glare at them threatening them to stop their foolishness. This is irritating... They both head as soon as they saw my terrifying face. Those piercing glaze on my eyes making them no choice but to move on their positions. God...

As I enter the door, a dusty library surprised me. The bookshelves were all covered with spider webs, not just the books but the whole room was dusty. Does someone even clean this place? *cough cough. I was looking around the room, all the books were just about economic and stuff, nothing important. I spotted a table in the room, it has a letter and a file. I got curious about whether this file is the one I've been looking for. Top secret? The file's name was quite alerting, as soon as I open the file the information in there got me shocked. It's like the feeling of finding out the truth all this time. A mix of excitement and fearful emotion lingering me down my spine of what kind of truth I'm about to see.

"Father's real Identity!?"
