Chapter 1: Dancing The Night Away

A/N: I hope you'll think this new story is good, I got the idea for this chapter from the Demi More Movie "Striptease" and from an episode from the Tv-show Lost called "Eggtown" (Season 4 Episode 4)

Paige's Pov-

Just a one more hour, then my shift is over. I grinded against the stripper pole in just a black and very skimpy as guys cheered for me and threw some cash at me.

I never thought my life would be like this, I'm a 24 year old college dropout who worked in a bikini club, I'd strip down to just a skimpy bikini and dace as seductively as I could to make the perverts the was sitting up front to throw their money at me. I had an incident college when I was 20 that had forced to drop out and my parents were so disappointed at me I moved in with my grandparents', they still accepted me and let me stay at with them, but they died a few mounts ago and they left the house to me in the will just as long as I had a job and this was the only I could get.

I let my friend Hanna move in with me since she needed a place to live near her college and she had a part time job as a journalist intern so she'd help out with rent and other stuff, the house was big enough for us and even a few other roommates if we needed to rent out another room, which luckily we didn't had to since I was uncomfortable with letting a stranger into the house.

I hear that my song was about to end so I grinded up against the pole one final time then the song stopped, I walked towards the stage entrance when I suddenly felt a hand grabbing my ankle.

"Hey! Don't go." A man shouted as he held on tight.

I looked mad at him and told him to let go but his grip just tightened.

"Hey get off her!" The clubs bouncer Toby said as he dragged the punk away from me, Toby was a really great guy but just like me he had made a few bad choices in life and ended up working in a bikini club, at least he got to keep his clothes on.

I looked at Toby and smiled at him as I saw him throwing out the perverted guy who kept screaming something about his dad being some important person, some days it felt like Toby was the only guy I could trust.

I walked backstage and put on a robe that was hanging from a hook, the manager put them there for us to have something to put on when we walks of the stage to our dressing room, it was a big room that all dancers shared, there was plenty of clothes that we could put on for our performances and they were very easy to take off on stage, there were no showers but we did have a bathroom stall. I sat down in front of a mirror and started to clean off the glitter from my face, we were supposed to really sparkle on stage but this felt like it was way too much.

"Hi." I heard Toby's voice say.

I looked back at him and smiled.

"That punk won't bother you again, I talked to the manager and now that guy in banned from here." Toby said.

"That's a relief." I said and started to brush my hair trying to get most of the glitter out of it.

"You're better than this." Toby said.

"I know but some guys just can't keep it in their pants." I said.

"No, I meant you're better than working in a place like this." Toby said.

"I know but I dropped out of college and this was the only work I could find." I answered.

"Yeah, but you could at least find something where you can keep your clothes on." Toby said.

"I've searched for a few places, but the only place that would hire me were fast-food places and the salary is way too small for me to pay the bills." I answered.

"Hey McCullers, ten minutes. And I want you to do your Batwoman thing." The manager said as she walked past me.

"She really makes you wear that often." Toby said when the manager was gone.

"Well, that routine is how I got this job." I said as I hanged my robe on the chair and walked up to the random outfits that was hanging on the rack. I didn't mind Toby seeing me half naked like this, he was a nice guy and he had already seen me and all the other girl onstage several times before.

I grabbed a black Batwoman mask, a cap that was black on the outside and red on the inside, a pair of red gloves and matching boots, then I got a black G-string and a bra with the same color and a red wig, then I walked behind a curtain to change.

When I was wearing my Batwoman outfit, or whatever you can call it since the cape was the thing that covered most of my skin, it reached almost all the way down to my foots and it covered pretty much as much as a slightly opened robe.

"You know, when Aaron asked when I do when he is sleeping I tell him I dress up like a superhero." I said to Toby as I looked at him.

"You should really work during the days or afternoons so you can spend more time with him." Toby said.

"I know, but the night shifts pays more and the bills won't pay themselves." I said as I adjusted my wig so my real long auburn hair wouldn't show.

"But there are days I wish I could spend more time with him." I said.

"You really love him." Toby said as he handed me my lipstick since apparently my lips had to be redder than a clown's nose.

"You'd expect Batgirl to have black lipstick." Toby said.

"I'm not Batgirl, I'm Batwoman." I said.

"I thought that was the same person." Toby said.

"No Barbara Gordon is Batgirl and Kate Kane." I said.

"That name tells me nothing." Toby said.

"Here is what you need to know about Kate Kane, she lost her mom and twin sister to terrorists when she was eleven, her father was a cornel who raised her by himself, Kate joined the army because she was gay and a few years later she became Batwoman." I explained to Toby, giving him a very abridge explanation.

"Ok, so she is a crime fighter in the comic world and you dress like a half-naked version of her for money." Toby said.

"I'm going to switch work if I can get a better one." I said as I left the dressing room and walked up on stage.

"Alright gentlemen, give it up for our sexy protector of the night. Batwoman!" The speakers announced as I made my entrance on the stage, the men cheered and threw their dollar bills as I pushed my cape behind my shoulders and started my dance routine.

Later:

I had finally finished my shift and I had just changed into my regular clothes and I was sipping on a latte to keep myself awake.

"Hey, take care." Toby said as I was about to exit, it was 6 in the morning and I'd soon see the sun rising.

"I will, see you tomorrow." I said as I went out the staff exit. I walked to where I had parked my car.

"Need a lift?" I heard someone say, I turned around and saw my mom standing at the parking lot.

"Not the kind you're offering." I said and tried to ignore her.

"You has such a bright future." My mom said.

"Did you come all the way here just to rub it in?" I asked as I dug in my pocket for my car keys. "How did you know I was here anyway? It's not like you or dad cares about me." I said.

"One of your father's friends saw you a few weeks ago when he was with some guys at a bachelor party." Mom said.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Aaron is the reason your life is screwed up, you had a chance to become something better than this but…" Mom said.

"I messed up, I made a mistake in college and you and dad won't stop bringing it up, of course I'm not happy my life is the way it is but I love Aaron and nothing is going to change that." I said.

"If it wasn't for Aaron you would have graduated collage but thanks to him you're a drop out but there is something you can do to turn your life around, you're still young and you can reapply for college, you just need to get rid of Aaron." Mom said and I didn't believed my ears.

"Now you listen and listen good, I love Aaron, he is my everything and never tell me to abandon him!" I yelled to my mom.

"He is bad for you, you have to give up everything because of him… look you don't have to do anything, just give me your key and I'll make sure to fix this" My mom said.

"You stay away from him, I never want to see you near him!" I threatened my mom and she backed off. Ever since I stopped living with her I had no problems telling my parents to stay away from me.

"This isn't over, Paige." My mom said as she got into her car and drove away.

"Bitch." I said after her and got into my car and drove home.

When I reached my home it was bright outside as I parked my car and unlocked the front door.

When I walked in I saw Hanna sitting in the kitchen drinking some orange juice.

"Welcome home." She said as I took off my shoes.

"Thank you." I said.

"Is everything alright?" Hanna asked.

"I met my mom after work, she was waiting for me in the parking lot." I said.

"Oh, what did she want?" Hanna asked.

"That I get rid of Aaron and reapply for college." I said.

"They can't ask you to do that to Aaron, he loves you more than anything." Hanna said.

"Well, after I dropped out my parents became emotionless." I said and took Hanna's coffee cup.

"Hey!" Hanna said.

"Sorry, I just needed the boost." I said.

"Where is Aaron?" I asked.

"He is in the living room, his favorite show is on so he ran to the TV like the childish three year-old he is." Hanna said.

"Ok, I'll check up on him, you know let him know I'm home." I said.

"And give him his good morning kiss." Hanna teased.

"Shut up." I said as I laughed and then I walked to the living room, I could see the back of Aaron's head from behind the sofa, I didn't wanted him to spend too much time watching TV but he did love his shows.

"Hey buddy." I said and Aaron quickly turned around and got very happy to see me.

"Mommy!" My son almost screamed in joy as he got off the cough and ran into my arms, I hugged him tightly and kissed the top of his head. I loved my perfect little son more than I ever had loved anyone.

I got pregnant with him in college, I got drugged at a party and had unprotected sex without remembering it. When I went to a doctor I was already second month pregnant without knowing it and a few days after I found out I dropped out. My parents were mad but my grandparent were understanding and let me stay with them even after I gave birth to Aaron.

My mom had tried to convince me to put Aaron in an orphanage when I met her at the parking lot but I'd never give up my baby, when I saw him for the first time I felt nothing but love and I wanted to keep him safe and give him a happy childhood.

"What are you watching?" I asked.

"Batman!" Aaron said overjoyed then he grabbed my finger and dragged me to the sofa. "Please watch it with me." He said and gave me his big eyes that was almost impossible to say no to.

"Ok, I can stay up for a little while." I said and sat down on the sofa and Aaron sat next to me.

I looked at him and smiled. As he held my hand as we watched Batman.

"I love you mommy." Aaron said.

"I love you too." I said and hugged my son again.

A/N2: Ok, how many thought Aaron was going to be Paige's boyfriend? I hope this chapter was good and hopefully I'll keep writing it, if anyone have a request for a chapter feel free to PM it to me and I'll see if I can use it.
