Red Hood: Red Roomate

by Anonzerozeroone

Andrea Albertsons received an unknown letter from Gotham Real Estate with a list of five places she could choose, but she would have to have a roommate. She decided to choose one of the five out of desperation that her other five real estates turned her down. The name of her new roommate was Jason Todd.

1. Chapter 1

"Hello!" I enthusiastically accepted the call from the real estate.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Albertsons. We are very sorry that we could not find any available apartment for you in Gotham," the office lady declared.

"I see. Thank you," I said, trying not to reveal my disappointment, and sluggishly ended the call.

All the five real estates, I contacted, said the same thing.

"Dammit!" I cursed under my breath.

I was an ordinary girl at the age of twenty-two living with her mother. It might sound pathetic to dream of finding more opportunities in Gotham after fresh out of financial collage, but I nailed one of my many job interviews and got accepted at Harper's Financial Help. The only thing I could not find was, a goddamn place to live near my working place because my house was a fourty minutes drive to work despise traffic. And, hell knew how bad traffic jam in Gotham was.

"Darling!" Mom called me from downstairs. "Could you come down for a second?"

"Sure, Mom. I'll be right there in a second," I yelled back, and slid the chair from the desk. I rolled onto my bed and stared at the ceiling for precisely seven minutes, before making any attempt of walking down the stairs.

"There's a mail for you from Gotham Real Estate on the table."

"Thanks... Gotham Real Estate? I've never heard of it before," I wondered, pacing toward the letter.

It read:

To Ms. Andrea M. Albertsons,

We are Gotham Real Estate. You did not contact us, but we heard that you were looking for a place in Gotham.

Our real estate is slightly different from the other. We offer places that already have owner that willing to have a roommate. We attached a list of five places in this envelope. Please consider them and feel free to contact the owners.

Sincerely,

Gotham Real Estate

Holy crap, people said Gotham was weird, but I did not believe that it would be this weird. An unknown real estate that knew about you without you realizing that they existed. How did they even know I needed a place?

Sketchy... perhaps, very sketchy, but what more could I lose after all the disappointments.

I opened further into the envelope. The information, they provided, included the location, the size of the room, the roommate and their personal information, and the deal. It seemed basic enough. Although, what surprised me the most was how all the locations were five to twenty minutes walk to my work!
