Twilight landed safely on the roof of Jump City Bank. A robber was breaking in and planning to steal all of the money, but with her there, it wasn't going to happen.

Even though it was her first official mission, Twilight had had a lot of experience. She excelled in martial arts and knew every kick and punch in the book. For some reason being a super-hero thrilled her. Most women her age would never consider becoming one, but Twilight wasn't any average woman.

Twilight was about to jump down to the ground when something caught her eye. It was a figure dressed in a midnight blue costume. Was it him? The famed Nightwing? Even if it was, he wasn't going to ruin HER mission. She had her mind set on stopping the robber and saving the day.

Leaping down, Twilight glanced at her surroundings and headed into the bank.

It was a truly marvelous building she had to admit. Wayne Enterprises owned it, and when they owned something you had to expect the best. Of course Wayne Enterprises was owned by Bruce Wayne and Richard Grayson, the heir to the corporation. The two were the bachelors of the city.

Twilight shook her head and glanced around the room, looking for the culprit. He had to be somewhere.

From behind her, she heard the door open and a figure step into the room. Presumably Nightwing.

Then she spotted him, the villain who was trying to rob the bank single handedly. But of course he would not succeed with Twilight there.

She sprinted unnoticed towards the culprit. He was pointing his gun and moving vigorously around, swearing he would shoot if someone moved. Before Twilight could make it though Nightwing had already roundhouse kicked the man to the ground.

She stopped dead in her tracks, obviously angry. Twilight then noticed that the villain was trying to get up, and Nightwing was looking away. She then decided that it was her time to shine. Of course she wasn't trying to be selfish; she just wanted to make the city a better place…When she was little she had always wanted to be the hero.

The villain had gotten up and she began sprinting towards him again.

Reaching them, Nightwing still somehow not noticing the brute had been getting up, she looked the man in the eye. He was a foul looking man, most likely in his late forties. Twilight stopped in front of the man and he winked at her, she smirked punched the man in the gut, he fell to his knees.

"Who are you?" Questioned an irritated Nightwing.

"They call me Twilight." Twilight replied slyly, she had heard that line in various movies.

"Why are you here? Won't you break a nail or something?" Twilight rolled her emerald eyes under her mask. Men.

"I might, but who cares? I want to help protect the city. I'm a hero." She stood up more straightly, while the two were bickering, they hadn't noticed that the culprit was getting away.

Everyone in the bank had fled the building, even the villain, leaving Twilight and Nightwing alone, and angry at each other.

"A hero? Riiiiight, I'll believe it when I see it."

"You know what!" Twilight poked him in the chest with her gloved finger, "You think you own the city don't you? Well you're not the only hero around here! Women can fight and protect the citizen's JUST as well as MEN can!" She snarled, boy did she hate men that acted like they were better than women.

"I know I don't own it, but I know you don't either." Nightwing leaned in closer to Twilight seductively, but angrily. His breath caressing her neck, "You let him get away, did you know that?"

Twilight's eyes widened in shock as she looked around the room, afraid that he was serious.

"Good job Starlight…" Nightwing then stalked off to go and find a lead on the villain.

"IT'S TWILIGHT!" She yelled after him angrily.

"I'm so stupid! My first real mission and I ruin it! I'm SO STUPID!" Twilight then hit her head repeatedly repeating "Stupid" over and over again.

Out in the shadows, a figure stalked, watching the famed Nightwing exit from the bank unsuccessfully. The man rolled his eyes and continued to watch, he noticed that Nightwing had disappeared.

Glancing into the bank, he saw a lone figure hitting herself on the forehead, she was muttering something. SHE must have been the cause of Richard's failure…

The man squinted into the sunlight, it was mid-day. What was a young lady like herself doing off of work? Her costume seemed expensive and professional. It was black tight pants that looked like they were bullet resistant, and her top was a maroon tank-top, a black, long sleeved shirt was under it, both very tight and appealing. Not that he was attracted to her or anything… She also wore a mask…A mask that was somewhat like Nightwing's old one, except the eyes weren't white, they were maroon. Then on the chest of her get-up, he noticed a symbol; and insignia. It was a lone sewn into the fabric

She looked like an interesting character. He would have to introduce himself sometime in the future, but for now he decided that he would just observe her fighting tactics and her. He wanted to see if she was worthy of serving the town. For some strange reason though, he didn't know but he knew that she was going to be a great fighter. She seemed vaguely familiar to the mysterious man. Very familiar indeed…

Nightwing had stopped his search, unable to find the man. He was confused as to who that girl was. Why had she come to the bank and attempt to play hero? She should have known that the great Nightwing had it under control. Silently he laughed at himself, the great Nightwing…Ha.

After his amusement of himself had passed, Nightwing sighed and continued toward the Bat Cave.

Who was that girl? And what did she want to save play hero for? Didn't she have a life or anything? And why does she seem so familiar? Many thoughts like those were buzzing around Nightwing's usually organized mind, he had to rest.

Lying down on the cold ground of the Bat Cave, Nightwing got situated and attempted to fall asleep, on the floor he had no idea why.

When he was just nodding off into dream land, the Bat Mobile pulled into the garage of the cave. Nightwing rolled his eyes under his mask. Stupid Batman…

"Richard…Why are you lying on the ground?" Asked a bewildered Batman.

"I don't know…I don't want to go into the manor quite yet."

"Suite yourself," Batman was about to go into the manor when he remembered the robbery "Who was that woman at the bank?"

"Huh? Oh her? Actually I don't know. She calls herself Midnight or something like that…" Nightwing rolled over on the ground, trying to fall asleep.

"Hmm…She looks like someday she'll have good potential for crime fighting some day…" Batman shrugged his broad shoulders and stalked out of the cave.

"Pft…Yeah right. She's dumber than a rock!" Richard snorted at himself and wiggled around, soon he found a comfortable position and fell into a dreamful sleep. They were all about that girl…Twilight.
