Summary: Acro doesn't usually hate someone enough to push him this far.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters.
Acro doesn't want to do this. It's not like him. He doesn't usually hate someone enough to push him this far.
But he thinks that he has to. He must do it--for Bat, for everybody at the Berry Big Circus. Everything will be better afterward, he believes.
He waits patiently by his window, sitting in his wheelchair like he usually does. He's not there to look at the night sky like most people would do; he's there to avenge his brother. It was her fault that Bat was in a coma, her fault he was in this wretched wheelchair. Regina Berry had made her tiger, Regent, bite down on Bat's head and it had caused him to go comatose, and Acro had suffered just by trying to save him.
Everyone else is completely oblivious to the fact that it was no accident. Only Acro and Regina know the truth. And of course Acro knows Regina will do nothing. It's already been six months. So Acro is taking action himself. There is a giant bust in front of him, ready to be pushed out of the window when the signal is sent. He knows she will come; he had requested her presence. And she has nothing to suspect, as she doesn't realize that Acro knows everything that had occurred on that fateful day.
Occasionally, the other side of Acro decides to take over his thoughts.
This isn't you, Acro. It's really not. But... Bat... all he did was try to make her happy. All he wanted was one chance with her. And she repaid him like... like that! A person who tries to take the life of another doesn't deserve to live. This has to happen. Tonight.
A few moments later, Acro hears a noise. And he knows it's her. It can't be anyone other than her. He knows she is picking up the giant suitcase left for her right below the window. It contains the truth inside of it, and once everyone looks inside that suitcase, they will know everything.
This is for you... Bat.
Acro hesitates for a moment to look away from the bust, and then pushes it out the window.
