Ch.1
[So this is a story about 14 year old Jay-Jay Evans who was friends with Robin- Richard Grayson- when they were younger. After being trained by batman she was chased by villains all the time so she went from place to place using her powers that were given to her as a gift when she was 11. Now she gets a new power for her birthday until she turns 16. But what happens when she discovers who Robin really is and is asked to join with his team. Yay or Nay. Let's see how well a girl so damaged and haunted can deal with being mentored by batman for the second time in her life at the risk of returning to her horrid past and tormentors. Is Robin more than a friend now? Will they trust her? Well here's chapter one! Enjoy and review if you want to hear more!] – remember you only get answers to question if you ask :D]
"Having fun?" I ask the idiot below me. He looks up startled and smirks up at me.
"Oh yeah having tons of fun. What about you Angel back for more pain? You'd think you'd learned you're lesson last night." I laugh a sound so normal and bright it doesn't fit the current situation at all what with the dark street and the alley blocking my exit not to mention the disgusting smell coming off in waves from his disgusting body. Jeez don't super villains know what soap and water are?
"Oh please you got off easy I had to go deal with something more important than a poor excuse of a man running around breaking into houses. Besides I'm available now so how about we settle this once and for all you've knocked out enough people with that stench of yours."
"Oh give it a rest girl you know you can't do what a hero could give it up Angel you're nothing but a girl with wings playing dress up as Wonder Woman. "
Of all hero's he chose wonder woman how stereotypical and sexist I was always associated with her due to my good looks -though I was nowhere near her beauty if you asked me-I may be almost as 'pretty' for a 14 year old but I was still not that beautiful and doubted I ever would be. Then again it was a compliment. But I didn't come here for compliments I came here for justice! And I was going to get what I came for!
I narrow my eyes at him and reply "Just playing dress up huh wanna test that?"
He laughs an annoying throaty sound that irritates me and says "If you insist but it's pointless you know my 'stench' can have you lying unconscious in under 5 minutes flat." I laugh to myself and say wrong I can get to you in a second and have you knocked out before you can say "no!" Then I'm suddenly directly behind him as I insert a needle into the back of his neck his smell filling my nostrils and making my eyes water. He reacts quickly but not quickly enough. By the time he turns to attach I'm standing on the roof of the small building a couple of feet above him watching as he gapes at me in shock touching his neck questioningly.
"It's Chloroform you'll be out for a while. Oh and when you wake up you'll most likely be taken care of by the Justice League have fun stinky wish I could stay and chat but I have to get some dinner chasing a goon makes a girl hungry and Superman will be here soon. Au revoir, enjoy punishment!"
I jump down from the building making sure to bend my knees so I don't hurt my ankles and walk away into the dark as I make my way back home. Home that place I've been avoiding for so many years. The same boring everyday routine, the place where my family waits for me with arms wide open the place I left so long ago only to be brought back for something I never thought I would come back for my family.
"Chin up, smile, pretend you're the girl you were when you left!" I say to myself with fake enthusiasm as I make my way down the block. Even now I still can't tell my family that I've developed yet another power for my birthday and that I can't help but want to give it away and have someone else shoulder the burden. But I won't you get what you ask for when you mess with super humans after all right? Too bad I didn't know that at the age of 11. Three years, three powers and still 2 more to go. If I make it to16 that is. Right now that seems highly doubtful.
You see while most 14 year olds are worrying about boys, dances, friend drama and what clothes to wear for the first day of school I was worrying about how to explain that I'd managed to sprout wings I could manipulate and make disappear but not forever. Sure I would normally be worried about what I would be wearing for my first day of my sophomore year too except I was accepted into Gotham academy and had to wear a school protocol uniform. Geeky tie, and flannel skirt of course. (Why must private school have such ugly uniforms!)
Then there was the obvious problem I was a heroine more like a side kick but minus the mentor. I knew that the Justice league would be hunting me down trying to figure out who I was. Too bad they didn't know my secret the one that's kept not only me alive but my ex-mentor sort of person Batman under the radar.
Yes I was trained for a while under Batman at my parents request ever since I'd read about super hero's I always wanted to be a heroine my parents pulled some strings and finally Batman agreed. It was fun while it lasted he was a good teacher tough as nails always pushing you to your limit physically and mentally.
"Mentally" I repeat out loud and actually manage a real laugh. I remember his son a childhood friend of mine Richard or Dick I didn't like calling him Dick I liked his real name Richard and it irritated him when I called him by his full name so of course I called him Richard and only Richard. I used to laugh at his frustration with the English language he preferred boring things like math and science or computers. He was actually very good at hacking for a ten year old. We were the same age then but he's always been older by a couple of months. I remember that Batman or Bruce would also push Richard to his limits always expecting nothing less than an A in all subjects' school wise.
Those were good times when I was completely human and only needed to learn how to defend myself in hand- to- hand combat.
That was so long ago I wonder how Richard is now and if he knows his adoptive-father Bruce is really Batman, Defender of Gotham. Probably not oh well I was starving and I could smell the dinner on the table from outside.
Back to human reality Jay-Jay! I take a deep breath and smile calling out I'm home before teleporting upstairs to change out of my costume so no one suspects I was busy taking out some Gotham human trash!
Another boring day in the life of simple, smart and funny only to normal Jay-Jay Evans.
Curious yes, no? hopefully if you are review or message me and the italics are when she is either thinking or talking to herself.
The next chapter will be her first day at Gotham Academy where she will be reunited with Richard. How will he react, angry, confused, happy or will he even remember her. How will Jay-Jay fell or react. Will she tell him the truth about Angel- the heroine or will she keep it a secret. Review if you want to find out!
Thanks for reading :D
