Two problems in one go

Cassandra Pov_

Life wasn't good I was born, training, cold stare from my mother.

It safe to say that I didn't have a normal upbringing, I always had to enter dangerous missions from early age of 8.... I'm talking like I'm my self not just a 13 year old girl, this of many side effects of having stressful upbringing, yet their two things that always bothered me how my own mother, did never praise me on any job i have done no matter how perfect it was executed, abd how she always had that regretfully look on her eyes when I finished any of my work, I always shruged it of as her regretting giving birth to me but. I always thought deep inside that there more to it.

I only ever wanted her to love and be proud of me.

One night I had enough, I used my mission as cover to make it look like a accident that me and the target got blown up by an explosion, not the most practical way but surely the most effective of getting rid traces.

At first, I thought the whole organisation bought my act and labelled me as dead, so naturally I needed to find a new way to live, so I started as mercenary doing jobs for the most payment, of course no one had taken me seriously at first who can blame them girl my age should be studying at school not killing people for money, yet their nothing that can change someone opinion more than a couple of broken ribs and successful metion later.

And just like that I secured my place on the mercenaries circle of importance, but at the same time pursuer started going after my information trying to find my location, it seemed like my mother had caught out my act and now trying to bring me back.

I had to change my location multiple time and get rid of multiple pursuers, yet they were relentless, of course they couldn't always keep track on me, my own mother didn't train me for naught.

I took a base in the rurale area of Gotham inside an old abandoned factory, it wasn't the most comfortable place but a place I can use to sleep is all I need, of course as I took my usual patrols around the streets making sure no one was after me, I found a collapsed women with unusual clothes the homeless around were weary of her, her were like that of magicians that she used to sneak out of her mother traps to watch, my intrigue reached it maximum capacity. So I took her from the cold street and back to my temporary hide out.

I didn't have a bed so I did the next best thing I tied her to the chair, she seemed unconscious and her eyes shown signs of sleep deprivation. I waited for her to wake up but no vail even after 3 hours of waiting it seemed like a meaningless endeavour.

I really started to consider getting her to a hospital even though that can lead me to trouble and need to change my location again. But then she started bleeding from her nose and mouth, I started to panicked, I was only thought how to kill not how to save.

Then a new presence was felt inside the room it seems my mother had finally reached, but what surprised me is the tall man beside her with greenish yellow hair beside her.maybe a new member of the organisation.vI swiftly got my daggers between my hands and tightened my hold on them.

My mother removed hervswirld from his hilt.

"Cassandra I came for you".

With no more words needed I launched my self at her and sparks of our clash lighted the dim factory.

I tried to slash her right by she just parried my dragger and kicked my side.

Rolling to the ground I quickly regained my Ballance and throwed one of my daggers at her she deflect it, but I didn't let the opportunity go away I stabbed my other dagger directly to her stomach, but she managed to twist her body at last moment to only get slashed instead, mummy mother used my moment of surprise to slash my shoulder and used her hand to pin my now injured shoulder to the ground, it was painful but regained myself and used my legs to kick her away from me.

Taking a moment to regain my breath, my mother on the other hand didn't sush moment and went directly kicking my chest sending me flying towards the factory metal wall where she pinged me again but this time, she used pressure point to make lose consciousness.

While I struggled to keep awake and my body was falling to the ground, my mother suddenly

Hugged my falling body and said.

"Glade to have you back"

'what does that .....'

That was the last thing I remember before falling unconscious.

End of POV.

'while my daughter and wife fighting their family issues away'

I was checking on the half dead woman and lifted her face with my hand to have closer look and to say I was surprised and horrified.

"Zatana, what happened to you"

I didn't wait a second and started healing her body specially her brain, from my initial examination it seemed like she injured her self using a forbidden spell, but why..... I always taught her to keep away from dark magic.

It seemed like her situation is getting better and the colores of her face are slowly returning. It also seems like my wife and daughter had reached the conclusion of their dispute. Coming closer the first thing I did is healing both of their injuries. I also healed the scratches that o cumulated on my daughter face from her years as an assassin.

Then I looked at my wife eye and the well hidden sign of relief that we got our daughter back, and the huge boulder of her hidden her existence form me all these years is finally going to be lifted.

I came closer to her side and deep kissed to assure her everything will be fine.

"Let go home"

Nodding her head, then she noticed the unconscious woman beside me.

"Who is she?"

"An old student of mine, I need to know what happened to her."

Then next moment we returned home, and put Cassandra on her newly room built specially for Cassandra and we layed her in the bed while Sandra stayed sitting next to her side until she eventually awake. While I arranged the gest room for Zatana to rest in.
