Naomi sort of sat there in the pull laying her hands against her chin. She figured she would answer truthfully. Considering Robin's "Occupation" She figured he had seen much worse.
"I was abused by my husband, so I ran away. I found this cave by accident, I was fascinated by all of this treasure, but a mist all of this treasure lied that strange orb. It was glowing orange, and it almost felt like it was calling me. Whether out of fate, or out of stupidity I touched the orb, and I absorbed it's essence. See Oni's are not creatures of themselves. Those creatures you see in mythology, they are the result of an oni essence being bonded with a host. After a while the two become one. unlike most popular possession story where essentially the host "Dies" and becomes a hollow shell for the essence to control, the opposite occurs. The oni Essence allows itself to be be absorbed by the host, and give it it's Memories, it's powers, and as you've seen with Yakasuma it's very being. The Host does absorb the Oni's personality, so the two kind of fuse and become one. It's hard to explain. Geographically speaking we are on a small island about 75 miles off of the coast o Japan. this cave is all that's left of my kingdom."
Naomi began practicing some of her Sumo skills while in the water.
'I WAS a queen. My Kingdom is gone. If you were to look out of the cave, you would see overgrown rain forest, and blackened. ruins that looks like something of a mix between Stonehenge and Camelot. I was, Isabella Sakuti. of Lacora."
Naomi smiled realizing what she just pot tim through. "I could conjure you a swimsuit, but I won't force you. into anything if it's awkward."

Tim listened in silence. He slightly frowned and cocked his eyebrows, a look of interest on his face.
"I was abused by my husband, so I ran away.
He frowned as Naomi spoke of the abuse. He would've never guessed that happened to her, if he hadn't seen the memories. He slightly interrupted, not speaking over her, but speaking softly.
"Naomi... I'm so sorry." He said earnestly.
"I found this cave by accident, I was fascinated by all of this treasure, but a mist all of this treasure lied that strange orb. It was glowing orange, and it almost felt like it was calling me.

He lifted one eyebrow at the explanation of the Oni. It all sounded very confusing. Not that he hadn't dealt with creatures before, but he still couldn't fully wrap his head around everything. How had they gotten to Japan that fast?
"So... excuse me if I sound ignorant, but the Oni is almost... a symbiote? What are all your powers?" Tim questioned.
"I WAS a queen. My Kingdom is gone. If you were to look out of the cave, you would see overgrown rain forest, and blackened. ruins that looks like something of a mix between Stonehenge and Camelot. I was, Isabella Sakuti. of Lacora." Naomi said.
"And now you're just... not? How old are you? If you have all this treasure, why are you living off a cop's salary? Why work at all?" Tim bombarded the woman with more questions. "No thanks, I think I'll pass."

"Naomi... I'm so sorry." Tim said earnestly
Naomi smiled a bit, she didn't want anyone's pity, but it felt a little nice to hear that someone cared about her well being
"Yeah well now you see why I don't have as much sympathy for someone like Batman as I probably should."
Naomi giggled as her explanations appeared to throw Tim for a loop.
"I understand if this is all really confusing
"So... excuse me if I sound ignorant, but the Oni is almost... a symbiote?"
"Well yeah I guess yeah they are a symbiote. There not as gooey like that Venom character from those Spider-Man comics. I wish I could say they were more benevolent, but sadly that's not the case. I'm sadly one of the few good Oni's in the world."
"What are all your powers?""
"Oh good grief I have more powers then you can imagine. Well as you could probably tell from what you've seen so far, I have telekinesis, I have the ability to shape-shift, and I can teleport. That's how we got so close to Japan in mere seconds. I can also cast elemental spells." Naomi stretched her palms face up and fireballs rose from the tip of her figures to the face of her palms .
"When I shape-shift, I can change the mass of my body. so yeah when you see me go fatter and skinnier, that's real. I have Super Strength and I'm just at the tip of the iceberg.
Naomi's face changed from giddy and excited to a more hushed and almost scared tone
In my Oni-form I'm at my most powerful...and my most dangerous a long time ago people once worshiped Oni's and treat the with aww as if they were gods. Mothers would tell stories of the Oni to scare the children into submission. Young men would tell stories of our kind in a hushed voice over a campfire, there is a reason why. "With a single step, I could create an earthquake. With a single breath, I could create a hurricane. I can lift the largest of mountains as if they were mere sacks of grain and shatter earth as if it were made of glass. I could decimate entire forest with a single fire spell I could make your worst nightmares feel as real as what you see in front of you .
As she described her powers her voice became more higher pitched not in a sort of boast or or bravado but out of fear. Oni's and Yakasuma in particular were more powerful then anything most humans could imagine. They were the kind of beings only someone like Superman or Thor (Note: The DC version of Thor not the Marvel Comics version) were capable of standing toe to toe with. Humans were no more powerful to n Oni than say a ant was to a boot. and in fact many oni's viewed them as such. Mere ants to be squashed against the boot of a mighty oni. If Yakasuma were to turn evil like many of her Oni Brothers and Sisters, While the odds were next to impossible it still haunted her nightmares.
"I WAS a queen. My Kingdom is gone. If you were to look out of the cave, you would see overgrown rain forest, and blackened. ruins that looks like something of a mix between Stonehenge and Camelot. I was, Isabella Sakuti. of Lacora." Naomi said.
"And now you're just... not?" How old are you?
"I'm over 500 years old Tim 10,000 years old if you want to include the memories that I have because of the Oni spirit inside me. Kingdoms don't last forever. Some get conquered while others become corrupt. Eventually the sands of time eroded at them until there is nothing left but ash and ruins. They become left to time lost...and forgotten."
Naomi turned her face away from Tim's gaze trying to hold back tears.
'nobody remembers the blood of the innocent that flowed down the rivers like an open room. Nobody remembers the scream of the lost child calling for her mother as Barbarians raze the city to the ground. And all the queen can do is watch as they have her bound to the tower because she is not strong enough to stop them. And then when she finally is strong enough her people run from her in fear. They would rather cast themselves into a fire rather than try to face something they don't understand."
If you have all this treasure, why are you living off a cop's salary? Why work at all?"
"I never became a cop for the money Tim. I became a cop because I wanted to do good in the world. You want to know the reason why I hide? Why I hide my Oni form. it's because the world is not ready for my kind. The world is not ready to face monsters and gods.
Naomi smiled a bit.
"If it makes you feel any better, I have thought of quitting, I think Being a policeman is becoming a little too much. I've lost a lot of good friends to goons like Joker, Ivy and Scarecrow. I probably vent my frustration on Batman even though it is unfair. and it's not like I completely live off a cop's salary. I may not live in a fancy castle or manor, but I have no issue treating myself everyone in a while.

"Yeah well now you see why I don't have as much sympathy for someone like Batman as I probably should."
The words cut into Tim. Yeah, they disagreed sometimes, but Bruce was his mentor... his father.
"Everyone handles things differently, Naomi. Batman went through crap. Sure, it might not compare much to what you went through, but it was still tragic. He isn't cranky just to be cranky, his childhood was taken away from him. He had no one to show him the light. He dedicated his life in the pursuit of justice. He just takes his job very seriously. The Batman doesn't mess around."
"Well yeah I guess yeah they are a symbiote. There not as gooey like that Venom character from those Spider-Man comics. I wish I could say they were more benevolent, but sadly that's not the case. I'm sadly one of the few good Oni's in the world." Naomi said. Tim smiled as she said it, he grew up reading Spider-Man comics.
"There are other Oni's in the world? Are you doing anything to try and stop them?" Tim asked. If there were creatures as powerful as Naomi but evil... that would be quite a force to be reckoned with.
"Oh good grief I have more powers then you can imagine. Well as you could probably tell from what you've seen so far, I have telekinesis, I have the ability to shape-shift, and I can teleport. That's how we got so close to Japan in mere seconds. I can also cast elemental spells." Tim looked at the fire in awe. He knew the answer, but he said it as a joke. Atleast, thats his excuse. He was totally serious on the inside.
"Is there anyway you can... learn how to do that without an Oni?" Tim laughed.
"In my Oni-form I'm at my most powerful...and my most dangerous a long time ago people once worshiped Oni's and treat the with aww as if they were gods. Mothers would tell stories of the Oni to scare the children into submission. Young men would tell stories of our kind in a hushed voice over a campfire, there is a reason why. "With a single step, I could create an earthquake. With a single breath, I could create a hurricane. I can lift the largest of mountains as if they were mere sacks of grain and shatter earth as if it were made of glass. I could decimate entire forest with a single fire spell I could make your worst nightmares feel as real as what you see in front of you." Naomi said.
Tim looked at her in awe and said in a hushed tone, "Remind me not to pick a fight with you." He listened in silence to the rest of her speech.
"The world is not ready to face monsters and gods."
"Naomi, we need people like that. Look at the Justice League, the greatest and most powerful heroes of all time. You could be with them. If you are as powerful as you say, you could help them. You could defeat monsters like Vandal Savage, Doomsday, Darkseid, etc. I don't want to sound rude, but you could be doing so much more." He wasn't trying to imply that she didn't do any good, but why not use her powers to do more good?

Naomi knew she hit hard and it did not take long for him to figure out why. When you live as long as she has, you tend to be able to see a person based on their eyes.
"Your his son aren't you? Perhaps not in blood, but that makes little difference does it not? Look you don't have to hide it I understand. A part of you owes him a debt because you would not be who you are if it was not for him. and I will admit I don't know him as well as you do, and I can only judge by what I see. and what I see he steps to close to the line for my taste."
"There are other Oni's in the world? Are you doing anything to try and stop them?"
"The other Oni's are gone banished. to other dimensions. Similar to Superman's Phantom Zone
""Is there anyway you can... learn how to do that without an Oni?" Tim laughed
"I AM a Oni Tim. We are one in the same at this point."
Naomi winced when Tim talked about the league.
"Your sound like Superman. Yeah he told me the same thing.
Naomi thought back on a flash back before uttering a phrase.
"Who watches the watcher? If one of you were to go bad, who would be there to stop you? Whether you guys like to admit it or not, you play by your own rules that's why are you called vigilantes. You say I could do more good, but the question is, good by who standards? You have no law to tell you what is good except that what you feel is right. You save lives sure, but do you ever wonder who has to clean things up after the smoke clears all is said and done? You guys take it upon yourselves to do all of these miraculous things and fight all of these war's yet you heroes are surprised when people look at you more like other worldly beings. instead of people? why do you not subjugate yourselves to the people actually trying to run this country and put on a badge or serve in the military? or I mean if your so interested in fighting your own wars why not form your own type of representative government give yourself a voice and an actual written code of laws that will hold yourselves accountable instead of just these sort of creeds that people can only pray that you will actually keep. Without a government or a law, there is chaos it's no that I'm blind, I've seen stuff that you are just now beginning to see. but frankly from my experience, Chaos has caused more death and destruction than any kind of Evil. Besides you don't want me as part of your group. I have absolutely no problem killing people. and if the Mayor or the president told me to sic em. I'd do it in a heart beat."
She then took a deep breath.
"To put all philosophy aside and put this in lamens terms, If and when the world comes to accept people like us and allow us our powers in the police force, I'll be the first to sign of for it. Or when the day comes Where Superheroes make there own form of government I'll be the first to sign up for citizenship. Until one of those two days come, I won't be part of any giant meta human group. Make no mistake though in thinking I'll some how stand idol and not go Oni out if any of those guys you speak of invade Gotham.
To be honest, I wish our world had it's own version of S.H.I.E.L.D. Someone that could be a middleman between a group of Heroes like the Justice League and the governments of earth. That way heroes could legally fight crime and use their powers well within the means of the law, and the governments can breath a little bit of releafe knowing there is someone that has the power to hold heroes accountable if they decided to go rouge.
"I don't want to sound rude, but you could be doing so much more."
a grin came over Naomi's face.
"I find it funny that you say that, because I look at you same thing. All your skills, you would make a good cop, a good firefighter, you have the potential to go to college and have a good future raise a family, and yet you choose to basically be an outlaw. Maybe not one that goes out of his way to break the law, but still and outlaw. I guess I look at you, and hope that maybe you have a chance at being normal."
she then turned away and smirked.
"Ironic isn't it? I'm a otherworldly being that values the down to earth things, and your a normal human that looks to the sky."
Note: if you have confusion at Naomi's position, feel free to PM me.
