She didn't remember how she had gotten there. Gotham was just so big. Truth was, she was always getting lost.
Confused and lost, she took out her iPhone. She'd have to get home so or-
Well... that.
Dressed in a dirty shirt and ripped jeans, he came out from behind the dumpster holding a knife.
Well crap. She didn't know how to fight, and even if she did, she had no way of knowing which way to run afterward. And the true fact is that most people are more afraid of knives than guns. She was one of them.
Left with no choice, she ran.
Some guys would have left her alone, not wanting to run after them, but she had some nice, shiny tech. She wasn't too bad looking either. Add those with a defenseless expression and you've got the perfect prey.
She hated running. Oh, but if her gym teacher could see her now. Faster and faster, until-
SREEEEECH!
The Batmobile. The one and only bat-mobile. Her hands slapped the hood as she tried to stop before she hit the car. If it could be called that.
Instantly information flooded her mind. It was so high tech... and she had made some really high tech stuff, so this was saying something.
It was rather quick. Out came batman in all his black billowing glory. The poor man didn't have a chance. Not that she cared.
"'s not safe, wondering around this late," he growled.
"New here," she shrugged. "But thanks for the help." She looked longingly at the vehicle. "That's really something you've got there. I mean, who else has a dashboard radar, hydraulic impact absorbers and an emergency dashboard JLA signal in their car?"
To say he was shocked might be an understatement; however, he didn't even flinch. "How do you know so much about my car?"
"I'm just good friends with tech. And don't worry Mr. Wayne I won't tell. After all, I wouldn't want my dad to lose his boss," she whispered. Then she turned around and just walked away.
Back at the Batcave Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman did research on this strange girl. He knew immediately who the girl's father was.
Name: James S. Collins
Age: 48
Department: Wayne Electronics- Gotham
Formerly employee at Midway City
Transfer requested by CEO
Collins is married to Katie Collins; both have a 14-year-old daughter, currently enrolled at Gotham Academy.
That's right- Bruce had heard only good things about Mr. Collins and had requested his transfer himself. Mr. Collins had replied with an intimidate, yes. But what about the daughter. How did she know so much? Surely she hadn't learned the information from one of her parents. Perhaps Robin would learn more at school.
Bruce went up to ask.
After all, one couldn't be too cautious.
