In my Head [Naomi]

[Deleted]

    Tim hunched over his desk, scribbling a design on onto his notebook. He had been working Bruce over for a new suit, and over the past month or two he had been working on a new suit design. He was just hanging out in the classroom, waiting for a few other students to file into the room. All the students were invited to come and take a World History quiz for extra credit, and he was one of the few lame kids that decided to take it. But, whatever he could do to get some more credit he would. Not because he needed it, but it was just nice to have.

    Recently he had been getting some really bad headaches, they were fairly short but they hurt like hell. Tim just chalked it up to a lack of sleep, he had been working really hard as of late. But, crime doesn't rest. He quickly closed his notebook and sat up as his teacher walked behind him.

    "Alright, kids. I'm glad you decided to take this quiz. I know it may not be fun now, but it'll pay off later in life, when you are trying to get into college and such." The teacher said in a monotone voice while handing out papers.

    Once all the papers were handed out, Tim began working he breezed through all the questions, but as the last one came up he began to get a headache again, but this one was worse than the others. He kept repeating the question to himself in his head, focusing really hard on it.

Come on Tim, focus. What was the last word Napoleon said. Come on! What was it...

Note: The answer is Josephine

[Deleted]

Naomi sat at her desk working on a crossword puzzle while drinking a cup of coffee higher ups didn't seem to care so long as everybody was willing to be up on the call. Besides "Technically." She had the day off and was only there to make sure the rest of the rookies were not sleeping on the job.

she had nearly gotten the crossword puzzle done before all of the sudden, she felt a sudden question going through her head. 

"Come on Tim, focus. What was the last word Napoleon said. Come on! What was it..."

Naomi had always been a trivia nerd especially when it came to history. Part of it had to do with the fact that she lived through 500+ years of it (technically 10,000 if you counted the memories she assimilated through the oni spirit) and on the 2nd part was just the fact she just enjoyed this kind of thing. After taking another Sip of Coffee, she blurted the answer without thinking a second.

"Napoleon's last word was Josephine...Wait What?"

There were two problems with what just happened. First of all why did that question in her head because it sure wasn't on her crossword puzzle.  second of all, who was Tim?

She then heard what sounded like whispers.

"Hey Tim? What is the answer to number 5"

"Miss Crabgrass please advert you're eyes from Mr. Drake's test and focus on your own. Remember this is extra credit and not mandatory so there should be any reason why you have to cheat."

Naomi couldn't help but snicker at how monotone this guy sounded she found herself going

"Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller"

Ok something was wrong. Why was she hearing voices. The only time something like that occurred was when she had a telepathic link with someone. and she knew that she hadn't intended to do that. So she did he only thing she could do. Reach out to the person she was linked to.

"Uh...Hello?"

"Yo Joe? any word about that double homicde last week?"

"Yes...sir commissioner Gordan is not available at the moment. If you give me your number I can leave him a message."

"Hello? My name is officer Naomi Yakasuma. If...If you can hear my voice inside your head. Just think something. I know this is crazy but please just trust me."

[Deleted]

    "Napoleon's last word was Josephine...Wait What?" were the words from an unknown voice that shot into Tim's head. He shot up in his chair, his eyes wide. He looked around at everyone around him. He knew the voice didn't come from someone in the room, but he looked around anyway, the realist part of his mind trying to figure what in the realm of the natural world just happened.

    His teacher cleared his throat before adressing the boy.

    "Mr. Drake, is everything all right?"

    "Yes sir, it's just... I'm fine nothings wrong."

    "Then if you don't mind my being blunt, get back to work."

    Tim leaned back over his paper and slowly wrote the word Josephine. Who was talking to him? Why? And most importantly, Why? He was interrupted by one of his classmates, Misty Crabgrass, leaning over to him.

    "Hey Tim? What is the answer to number 5?" She whispered to him. Tim looked at her, still dazed by what was going on, then he started to move his lips to answer before he was interrupted by Mr. Ferris.


    "Miss Crabgrass please advert you're eyes from Mr. Drake's test and focus on your own. Remember this is extra credit and not mandatory so there should be any reason why you have to cheat." Mr. Ferris said in his annoying, monotone voice.

    Tim turned back to his paper. He had finished, thanks to whoever was talking to him, so he walked up to Mr. Ferris and gave him his paper, before quickly leaving. As he was leaving the room, he thought he heard someone saying hello to him, but no one was there. He went and stood in the hall to compose himself for a moment. Should he call someone? Was he going crazy? Then he started to hear more voices.

    "Yo Joe? any word about that double homicde last week?" Commissioner's Gordon sounded in Tim's head like a whisper.  He turned around and looked down both sides of the hallway, looking to see if the Commissioner was in the school and discussing homicides for some reason, but obviously there was nothing.

    "Hello? My name is officer Naomi Yakasuma. If...If you can hear my voice inside your head. Just think something. I know this is crazy but please just trust me." The voice echoed in his head. He recognized it this time. It was the detective that was there for the investigation of the cult murder. He jogged into the nearby empty bathroom. He wasn't sure what to do, so he decided to do what she asked.

    "Hello? Can you hear me? What the hell is going on? Why are you in my head?"

[Deleted]

As the voice of Tim Drake shot into her head, she couldn't help but feel like it was familiar somehow.

"Mr. Drake? Yes I can hear you. I don't understand what's going on. I somehow developed a telepathic link with you, but the only way something like that could happen is if sent someone a strong telepathic link with someone and the only one I've ever done that to recently was..." Like the impact of a freight train, the sudden answer became clear. The voice, the length it all made sense now but whether out of fear for Tim or fear for herself she was afraid to call it out. but the word formed from her mouth and then came the voice. "...Robin?"

 She couldn't hear anything on the other end. She didn't know whether it was because Tim went silent out of shock or fear or if maybe she was blocking his voice out because of her own shock. She just found out the secret Identity of the boy Wonder and it was done by freak and total accident. What if the boys found out? Heck what if Batman found out. For all she knew he might just beat the living snot out of Tim and leave him to die. She found herself swallowing what spit gathered in her thought and the continued to speak. Her voice viable shaking 

"Robin...Tim...I know this is scary...Look I can remove this without any major issues, but you and I have to be touching each other. Now I'm going to call the principle he'll dismiss you from school an I'll come and pick you up in about fifteen minutes. Just meet me in front of the school ok?"

Once again she couldn't hear anything on the other end she could tell that this time it was probaby because of her nerves but she continued to speak anyway.


"Tim I don't know if you can hear me on your end. I won't tell anyone about your secret ok?"


She then looked up Tim Drake's file and looked up what school he went to. she then picked up the phone and started calling.


Uh yes Mty name is detective Naomi Yakasuma I'm from the Gotham Police Department and I needed to know if you have a Timothy Drake....No he's not getting arrested...uh huh...uh huh...Would you? That would be wonderful...Thank you so much I'll be there in fifteen minutes."


A few secounds later, Naomi could hear a voice in her head that sounded like a intercom.


"Mr. Drake Please Report to the principles office and prepare to leave. Mr. Drake Please Report to the principles office and prepare to leave."

Naomi then got up from her desk.

"Guys I have to go."

"Ya finally come to your senses and decided to take the rest of the week off? All right girl see you monday."

   

[Deleted]

"Mr. Drake? Yes I can hear you. I don't understand what's going on." Noami said.

Tim stood in the middle of the bathroom, shaking his head. This was a lot... Too much for him to grasp.

"I somehow developed a telepathic link with you, but the only way something like that could happen is if sent someone a strong telepathic link with someone and the only one I've ever done that to recently was... Robin?" Naomi asked.

Tim's heart dropped and his stomach flipped. He leaned against the wall. How did she? The other morning , when she had spoke to him before leaving. Is that what was causing this. Tim was worried, he didn't think this was good. He was too stunned to say anything.

"Robin...Tim...I know this is scary...Look I can remove this without any major issues, but you and I have to be touching each other. Now I'm going to call the principle he'll dismiss you from school an I'll come and pick you up in about fifteen minutes. Just meet me in front of the school ok?" Naomi said through his head. It still dazed him to hear her address him as Robin. He nodded to himself, even though he was still too shocked to say anything back. He still stood in the bathroom, not starting to walk to the school entrance. He considered pinching himself to make sure this was real.

"Tim I don't know if you can hear me on your end. I won't tell anyone about your secret ok?"

Tim mumbled some sort of mixture between uh-huh and okay, but he wasn't sure if she could hear him on her end. He then began to walk to the Principal's office. He walked up to the assistant and said "Um... I... Uh.... I have to go now." Tim said.

"Mr. Drake, right?" The woman said." Yep, we got a call a minute ago asking for your release. Have a good day, sweetie. Don't get into too much trouble."

Tim smiled quietly and slowly backed out of the room while saying "Thanks." As he walked out of the school he saw Naomi's car pulling up. He opened the door and got in. He looked at her and said, "Detective? Naomi? What's going on? How are we... Communicating?"

Note: sorry for any typos and no colors, I'm on mobile.

[Deleted]

Naomi didn't speak at first. Tears started to form in her eyes and she found herself chocking out  moderately loud gasp and sobs. It took her a good several minutes to gather her thoughts.

"I know...I know I try to act all brave around Batman, but the fact is...I'm terrified of him. It's not because he wears a bat suit or tries to act all intimidating I'm not even afraid of what he would try to do to me I've faced far worse than he is. But Every time i'm near him, I can feel the anger and the hate and the rage.I know what he is potentially capable of and if he were to find out that I know who you are...I don't know what he would do to you. This is all my fault...I'm sorry." Visions of a bloodied and a broken Tim with the shadow of the Batman over him started to flash through Naomi's mind. Just the thought of someone as young Tim being murdered at the hands of someone like Batman caused her to break out  into violent sobs and she sunk her face into the steering wheel. "...I'm so sorry Tim!"


After she cleared her eyes, she turned around and stared at TIm. Her eyes were visible bloodshot. Even as she spoke her voice was notable soft. 

" You see...What happened was when I thanked you that other night at the crime scene, I wanted to make it strong enough to where you would be able to hear me clearly. But I made it too strong and as a result, you and I have a telepathic link to each other which means we can hear each others thoughts and those around us. In other words we can see and hear through the eyes and the ears of the other. it's not hard to remove, but it can make things difficult. You've probably had bad headaches because of it."

Note: Yes Naomi is afraid Batman will Murder Drake if he finds out she knows that drake is robin. via Mortal Kombat style as a matter of fact. Her experience with vigilanties like Batman are not good.

  

[Deleted]

     Tim's jaw dropped as the woman started sobbing. He was so used to working with his hardened mentor that he didn't expect it. His mind switched from interrogating her to almost comforting her,.

       "I know...I know I try to act all brave around Batman, but the fact is...I'm terrified of him. It's not because he wears a bat suit or tries to act all intimidating I'm not even afraid of what he would try to do to me I've faced far worse than he is. But Every time i'm near him, I can feel the anger and the hate and the rage.I know what he is potentially capable of and if he were to find out that I know who you are...I don't know what he would do to you. This is all my fault...I'm sorry. ...I'm so sorry Tim!"

        Tim looked at her and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder, not sure exactly what to do. He listened to what she said. Was she afraid that Bruce would kill him? Or her? He moved his lips for a minute trying to form words.

    "Detective... Naomi. Look. It's okay. He won't hurt you or me. He's not like that. He just... he puts the personality on to scare the criminals, but sometimes he gets lost in it a bit and pushes it on to anyone else. He'd never hurt me. You don't need to apologize. It's okay. But..." Tim moved from comforting to dealing with the situation. He didn't know why, but he felt like he could trust Naomi. But he had to make sure. "I know you already told me you wouldn't, but you have to promise not to tell anyone. It could endanger me, my family, and anyone I love. Do you swear not to tell anyone? How can I know you won't?" Tim asked, looking for some sort of confirmation that she wouldn't tell anyone, or maybe a secret in exchange, or he didn't know, but he had to do something.

    " You see...What happened was when I thanked you that other night at the crime scene, I wanted to make it strong enough to where you would be able to hear me clearly. But I made it too strong and as a result, you and I have a telepathic link to each other which means we can hear each others thoughts and those around us. In other words we can see and hear through the eyes and the ears of the other. it's not hard to remove, but it can make things difficult. You've probably had bad headaches because of it." Naomi said while Tim listened intently. That would explain the headaches, but how did she make a link to his mind? That wasn't something someone can normally do. He looked her in the eyes, with a confused look on his face.

    "I... think I understand... But... how did you make a telepathic link to my mind? People can't just... do that."


(If I'm bringing up her alter ego/powers too early let me know)

[Deleted]

"Detective... Naomi. Look. It's okay. He won't hurt you or me. He's not like that. He just... he puts the personality on to scare the criminals, but sometimes he gets lost in it a bit and pushes it on to anyone else." Naomi found herself tensing up slightly trying everything she could not to get angry.

"Puts it on? No. A person who puts on a front doesn't leave bodies broken, bloodied and tied to a lamppost. A person who puts on a front doesn't drop criminals off a building and shatters their kneecaps  so they can get information out of them, you're young and I don't expect you to understand this, but I've seen people like him. They all make the same promises about how they are doing this for justice and they will never go over the edge...until they do. I've seen it happen way too many times."

"I know you already told me you wouldn't, but you have to promise not to tell anyone. It could endanger me, my family, and anyone I love. "

Naomi nodded. "I understand"

"I... think I understand... But... how did you make a telepathic link to my mind? People can't just... do that."

Naomi stopped in the middle of a area where no one could see them. she then got out of the car and signaled Tim to come out.

"Look...I'm not human and I'm sure you are aware of that. I know your secret, so it's only fair that you know mine. just...don't freak out ok. "


Naomi closed her eyes and when she opened them, she started to levitate in the air her eyes became fiery orange and catlike. She started grunting the grunts getting deeper. Her skin started to change color and become orange as black striped covered her body. Her nails became long and talon like. Toned Flesh quickly got replaces by bulk and fat until she had a sumo like build. Her black hair became blonde and it grew into a large mane that went past her ankles. black horns sprouted from her hair. before long she became a 7ft nearly 2000 lbs Oni. She then hit the ground landing in a sort of Sumo Squat position as the ground violently shook from the impact and giving the biggest fanged grin she ever gave, she  let out a roar that melted into a sort of triumphed laughter  

"RHAHAHAHA! it feels good to be me again!" She shouted in a bit of a husker voice

note: if there was such a thing as a voice claim, Naomi's Oni form AKA Yakasuma would be voiced by Nicki Minaj

    "Puts it on? No. A person who puts on a front doesn't leave bodies broken, bloodied and tied to a lamppost. A person who puts on a front doesn't drop criminals off a building and shatters their kneecaps so they can get information out of them, you're young and I don't expect you to understand this, but I've seen people like him. They all make the same promises about how they are doing this for justice and they will never go over the edge...until they do. I've seen it happen way too many times."
Naomi said.

    Tim listened to her. Part of what she was saying... it made sense. But Bruce was different. He wouldn't cross the line. Tim knew he wouldn't. Hell, Joker killed his son but he didn't even cross the line. 

    "With all due respect, you don't know what he's gone through. It's amazing he hasn't crossed the line. He has more willpower than anyone I've ever known." Tim said defensively,yet softly.

    "I understand"
Naomi responded to Tim's request. Tim started to nod; partially to Naomi in thanks and partially to himself in stress release. 

    "Good. Okay. Yes. Thanks." Tim responded. That was one less thing to worry about. He listened to Naomi and his heart dropped. He had... suspected something. That maybe she wasn't human, but he had no proof. That is, until she straight up told her. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped as the women in front of him morphed into a giant demon, catlike figure. He felt a bit.. afraid as the thing began to laugh. He cleared his throat and softly said, "Naomi? Are you still... there?"

(So basically the RAHAHAHAHAH is this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIrt_-E0PRs lol)

[Deleted]

Naomi (or more Yakasuma) looked down at the now much smaller Robin. She then knelt down moving from a beast like grin to a more gentler but still somewhat gitty smile "Don't be scared little man!" She said with a type of laughter in her voice.

"I'm just bigger and better!" She twirled around and did another sumo stomp. "This Is the real me! Want to see something cool?"

she stretched her arms in the air and in a flash of what appeared to be fire, a large metal Kanabo appeared in her hand. She slung it over her shoulder effortlessly.


"That's how we do it Oni style! Ah man you don't know how good it feels to be able to finally let loose and be me! course someone like you was the last person I expected to reveal my secret to.

All the talk and excitement, she forgot how scared Tim was

"Look...Baby it's ok. I'm not gonna hurt ya. Despit what you might think, we are not demons probably a more accurate depiction would be ogres . and i'm one of the good guys.

[Deleted]

     Even as she... or it... whatever Tim should call her, she was still much bigger than him.    

      "Don't be scared little man!" Naomi... or Oni... Or Yakasuma, whatever she was going by, said. Tim quickly clenched his sagging jaw so as not to be rude.  Tim opened his lips to say something but nothing came out. He just stared and looked her up and down.

     Tim stumbled backwards in result of the sumo stomp, before she spoke.  "This Is the real me! Want to see something cool?" 

         "I... I Guess." Tim said before she whipped out a giant flaming kanabo effortlessly. He smiled. It was impressive. "Holy Crap! Where'd you get that thing?" But , naturally, he was still nervous. Things like this don't just happen.

     
    "That's how we do it Oni style! Ah man you don't know how good it feels to be able to finally let loose and be me! course someone like you was the last person I expected to reveal my secret to." Naomi said. Tim listened and smirked a little, trying to make the situation.

    "I didn't think you would be one of the only people to know my secret." Tim said jokingly, with a little chuckle.

    "Look...Baby it's ok. I'm not gonna hurt ya. Despit what you might think, we are not demons probably a more accurate depiction would be ogres . and i'm one of the good guys." Naomi said. Tim listened, and her words were comforting, but he still had Bruce in the back of his head. He clenched his jaw and spoke seriously.

    "Words only go so far. How do I know you're one of the good guys?"

[Deleted]

Yakasuma kind of just shrugged. "If I wanted to hurt you, I would have already done it by now. I got powers you could barely even dream of." Yakasuma didin't know quite sre how to get it to where Tim would believe her, except maybe one way.

"Look if you want me to come clean, I just need you to close your eyes."

Yakasuma slowly put her finger tips on the side of tim's cheeks so to hopefully not startle the him she then transferred images of the cops past. She figured it would be best to do so in a The Mirror of Galadriel style with bits and pieces of minute long burst rather than showing every graphic detail.


First she showed Tim her Inauguration as the princess, then she showed her the invasion of the warlord Trecoron and the Ultimatum

"You are to agree to marry my son by sundown or I will personally make sure that you personally see each and every one of your subjects bleed to death from their eyeballs."

"No don't. I will marry him."

After that, she showed him what it was like after the marriage and the abuse. She decided to do it only from a Vail with auto only

"This is my kingdom. now" SMACK and you...belong...to me!."

"Please I beg of you. Stop."


After that she showed a scene of him fleeing to a cave. Followed by an image of her turning into the Oni known as Yakasuma for the first time as it happened. First her body changing shape growing bigger and bulkier followed by the changes to her hair and nails.

"What...What is happening to me? Please stop....NOOOO!!!"

The final set of images she showed Tim was an image of her kingdom burning to the ground. Final she ended it with a picture of Naomi changing from her princess outfit with her kingdom in the background to her cop uniform with Gotham Streets in the background.

With that, Yakasuma decided to put the visions to an end.

'See...You and I have a lot in common. We both fight for the same things. oh I almost forgot.

Yakasuma started moving around her finger before playfully touching Tim's nose "Boop."

A light green aura glowed around tim and then Faded.

"There. The connection should be gone now. Hey Wanna see my crib."

Yakasuma grabbed the boy before he even had the chance to say no and get away. She then put his head on her breast.

"Hang on little man."

The teleportation lasted a mere seconds. And the two landed in a cave filled with gold jewels and treasures as far as the eye could see. The cave glowed with an ethereal light.

[Deleted]

“If I wanted to hurt, you I would have already done it by now.”

Tim shrugged to himself. She was probably right. They were alone and she was a giant, hulking… whatever she was. Tim still didn’t know. Tim pulled back a bit as she randomly touched his face, but he let it happen anyway.

He suddenly felt like he teleported. He didn’t really, but he felt like he did. Like he was standing there, watching events unfold. But he couldn’t do anything, he couldn’t interact.

First he saw Naomi, but things seemed different. Quickly the scenes changed. Was she showing him her… memories? He watched in horror as she was beaten. He sort of felt the pain, mentally, not physically though. Whatever she was doing, she was messing with his mind, which she seemed to be doing way too much recently. He saw another scene, Naomi transforming, and even though it seemed to be over anyway, he pulled himself out and slapped her hands away.

“Don’t do that. I don’t appreciate non-consensual mind-messing.” Tim said coldly. He quickly put away the cold demeanor though, and continued the conversation. He continued the conversation and listened to her. He believed her for now, but the first sign of her being bad and that trust was gone. Tim pulled back a bit as she reached for her face, but she eventually touched it anyway and suddenly his headache was gone. He smiled.

“Thanks.”

“Hey wanna see my crib?” Naomi said. Tim was about to respond with a skeptical maybe, but she grabbed him before he could. A few seconds later he appeared in what was supposedly Naomi’s home, cave, base of operations, whatever you want to call it.

It really was impressive. The place was glowing, light glimmering off of gold and jewels. His jaw dropped.

“What is this place?”

[Deleted]

 






"I guess you could say that this is where I was reborn." Yakasuma said tossing a gold coin aside and then pointing at the shattered shards of the orb that once held the oni Essence that transformed her. she looked over at the Jaw dropped tim. "surprised someone like me would be a multi-billionaire huh?" 

feeling a tired of the big hulking oni, Yakasuma decided to change back into a human Naomi except she changed into her sumo form. It was a good compromise. It kept her in a human form while giving her a body type that matched her Oni body type except on a smaller scale. So instead of being a 7ft tall 1800 lbs oni, she was a 5 10 375-400 lbs sumo woman. She then sat next to Tim smiled and let her black hair down.

"Is this better to look at?" She said in her normal voice.



 she stood up and she took off her kimono before jumping into the hot spring that laid in the middle of the cave. Her massive weight caused the pool to splash in a giant wave. She had to admit, the warm bubbling liquid felt good against her skin. She then found herself staring at Tim and egging him to join her.

"Come on the water is great."

Note: Naomi's face claim for her sumo form is a plus size model named Tess holiday whom  is roughly about a size 26-30. Naomi would be about 375-400 lbs.  Also no she is not naked.

[Deleted]

"I guess you could say that this is where I was reborn." Yakasuma said. Tim looked around in awe, slightly confused. He glanced down at the shards of what he guessed would make the shape of an orb if it wasn't broken. He squatted down and picked it up, running it through his hand and examining it. 

"So... How did it happen? Did you just find this place, and this orb thing then 'BAM!' Oni? What happened? How did you find this place? Also... geographically speaking... where are we?" Tim asked. The place looked like the cave from the vision Naomi put in his head, but he wasn't sure. "Is this the place from that vision?"

"surprised someone like me would be a multi-billionaire huh?" Yakasuma asked in a seemingly joking tone. 

Tim also responded jokingly, but tried to say it in a way that wouldn't offend her. "A little... I certainly didn't assume that. So, who were you in the past? I got that glimpse but it didn't give me much. Were you, like, a queen or something? Sorry if I sound ignorant."

He watched as she transformed back into a human and scaled down a bit into the form she was in at the Halloween party he went to with Stephanie.  Tim was surprised as she just jumped into the spring, sending water everywhere. He took a few quick steps back, keeping himself from being drenched and just getting his shoes wet. 

"Come on the water is great." Naomi said. Tim stood around awkwardly.

"Sorry. I don't know, I don't think so. I don't have a change of clothes or a swimsuit or anything." Tim said awkwardly. Even if he had one he wasn't sure he would get in. The whole situation was just a bit strange. Half an hour ago he had just been taking a pop quiz, and now this? This would be strange even if he was out on a mission.
