It was one of those nights that Mom was late coming home from what she called work. My name is Kathryn Wayne or Kyle as it used to be, before it happened, before I lost my mother to her longing to reform which took her life.

As I was saying, she was late that night, so I went to investigate like I had many times, using the skills that I had been born with, and had been taught. I had tracked her down to the dock. I smiled as I saw my mother trapped in a cage, because this was a chance to show her that I could be a hereon, like her. So I removed the mask from my pocket, and placed it on my face, only then did I make my move.

I did cart wills, summersaults, and flips to get to her, but before I could reach her, her captors appeared from the shadows, one of them I had seen on the news before, it was the Joker.

"Well, well, Miss. Pussy cat, this time your nine lives have run out." He stated. I then noticed a tank full of flesh eating acid. His henchmen grabbed my mom and dragged her to the tank.

"No!" I yelled, with tears in my eyes. "Who was that? Ah, so the Cat has brought us a little kitten to play with." Joker stated.

"No! Do with me anything you want, just don't hurt her." My mom exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt the kitten Pretty Kitty, but she'll have to learn not fallow people with dangerous jobs like yours. Throw her in boys!"

"No! Please don't make her watch Joker, Please!" "Mom, Mom! Mom! No not my mommy!" I tried to stop them but Joker held me back. I pleaded for them not to, but soon she was in the tank.

I watched her dissolve before my eyes. Then I saw a dark figure in the distance, I knew who it was.

"Batman please help us, they're killing my mom!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. The Joker and his men then ran off. I smiled as I saw Batman put on his acid safe gloves and pulled my mom out.

"Will she be ok Batman?" I asked seeing that she was in critical condition, but he wasn't there.

I went to get help (After removing my mask) in town, and soon an ambulance was there getting me and mom to the hospital.

I told the doctors that she had fallen in the tank while we ran from a couple of thugs. Despite my willingness to stay with Mom I was sent home. The next day I returned to the hospital only to be told that she could not have any visitors.

This went on for two weeks, and then they let me in to say goodbye. She was so scared that I barely recognized her.

"Mom, I'm so happy to finely get to see you." I said holding her hand.

"Kitty, promise me that you won't try to kill The Joker, he's very dangerous, and that's what he would want." I thought she couldn't speak any more.

"I won't try Mom, I promise."

"I would ask you to promise not to become a crime fighter, but that would be a useless request." "I love you Mom."

"I love…" Those were her last words.

After her funeral we went to my old home which was a pent house, to read her will. I got everything except for a few things that she gave to her sister. "Now I leave my daughter Kathryn in the capable hands of her father, Bruce Wayne…." The lawyer continued, but I was so excited to finely know who my father was. Mom told me that my dad was Batman, which if you knew anything about their relationship that kind of makes since, but she never gave me a name.

So the next day I was dropped off at Wayne Manor. I was greeted by a butler instead of my dad, whom of which I really wanted to meet... The butler showed me to the room that would be mine for up until I moved out.

"Miss. Kathryn, my name is Alfred, and if you need anything just let me know." As he was walking away I thought of something.

"Hay Alf, when will Dad get here?" "It is Alfred Miss. Kathryn, and he should be home very soon. I'm fairly sure that you have many questions?"

"Yes sir, I sure do."
