Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story other than my own. I'm doing this just for fun! :)

Authors Note: Ok after reading a ton of Batman Fiction I have finally been motivated to start my own. Now grant it this is my very first fan fiction so I hope you all will enjoy it. Now I'm just doing this for fun and trying to make this story a little plausible. This story is going to be in the present and in the past. The main character of this story will be the woman who has to go through this who scenario of chaos. She's going to be going to be retelling the whole story of when she was in high school with Bruce and Rachel and how she had came to befriend Jack Napier. Once that's all said and done it will start going more into the Dark Knight and how her life is going to be turned upside down. I really hope you all enjoy this story, Reviews are greatly appreciated and I do not mind constructive criticisms but just plain rudeness is not tolerated. Now with that said let's get on with the story! :)

Chapter 1:

Never in my life had I thought that I'd step foot back into Gotham city. I had always believed that, that part of my life would have been over with. You see about eight years ago I had left Gotham after finding out that I was pregnant. To be honest I was terrified… Not only because of this completely shocking news but also because there were two men who could've been the father and those two men were Bruce Wayne and Jack Napier. And to only further understand my story I would have to start from the beginning.

You see it all started during our Senior year of High School…

15 years ago...

"Alessandra Abberline! Will you come down here please?" Her mother shouted up the stairs. "I'll be just a second mother!" Alessandra said hastily, as she quickly pulled on a purple form fitting turtle neck sweater with short puffed sleeves and a pair of bootleg jeans. She then pulled on her black boots and pulled her long dark hair back in a loose ponytail.

Once she was satisfied with what she looked like she then quickly ran down the stairs predicting her mother to shout for her once again. "Sorry mom! Bruce is supposed to pick me up in ten minutes and I'm running late as it is!" Alessandra said in a rush as she quickly grabbed her purse and leather jacket.

"Oh honey its fine I just want you to meet our new neighbors the Napier's."

Alessandra quickly turned around and looked over at the new family. There was a tall skinny, lanky man with dark eyes. Even though he had a smile on his face she had a bad feeling about him, next to the tall man was a woman who was about same age as the older man who seemed very sweet and kind, but very exhausted. Next to her was a young man about her age which she had to admit stopped her in her tracks. He was very handsome but had the same dark eyes as his father.

He had short curly, dirty blonde hair and dark chocolate brown eyes just like Bruce's. She felt a lot of animosity radiate through him and couldn't help but wonder what was causing her to feel that way. Alessandra then gave them all a warm smile as she adjusted her leather jacket over her shoulders. "Hi it's a real pleasure to have met you all." The woman smiled at her and placed her hand on her son's shoulder. "It's really nice to meet you as well." She then gestured towards her son and nudged him.

"This is our son Jack. He will be attending the same high school as you."

Alessandra smiled at Jack and nodded towards him. "Hi." Jack gave her a small smile and nodded his head as well. "Hey." For a moment there Alessandra and Jack's eyes didn't divert from one another's until her mother had finally spoken. "Ally sweetie would it be an issue if you picked Jack up tomorrow and take him to school with you?" Alessandra then quickly looked over at her mother and shrugged. "Yeah that should be fine mom." Just then, the doorbell started to ring. "Shoot! That's Bruce. I need to get going!" she said quickly and rushed off to the door and opened to show Bruce standing there on the other side with a large smile on his face.

"Hey Ally! Are you ready to get going?"

Alessandra nodded as she linked her arm with his and gestured towards the Napier's. "Bruce this is the Napier family they're my new neighbors and Jack here is going to be going to school with us." Bruce gave them his charming smile and shook all of their hands. "It's a real pleasure." He then looked back down at Alessandra and grinned at her. "Well Ally we best be going." Alessandra laughed and gently nodded her head. "Yes we should you big dork! Rachel's waiting." Bruce rolled his eyes and waved at her mother.

"Have a nice evening Mrs. Abberline. Tell Mr. Abberline I said hello."

Evelyn smiled and waved at Bruce. "I will sweetie; you and Ally have a nice night!" Bruce grinned at her and nodded. "We will!" And with that said Alessandra and Bruce were then out the door. Evelyn looked back over at the Napier's and placed her warm smile back onto her lips.

"I'm sorry Alessandra wasn't able to meet with you all and chat. She and Bruce usually don't get to spend that much time together so when they do it's like a mandatory meeting."

Emma laughed while giving Evelyn a sweet smile, noticing that Jack seemed somewhat upset that Alessandra left in such a hurry. "That's quite alright. I'm sure she and Jackie here will be able to chat more tomorrow. May I ask how long has your daughter and that young man been dating?" Tony Napier rolled his eyes and glared at his wife. "Does it really matter?" Evelyn chuckled and gently shook her head.

"Actually Bruce and Alessandra are not dating. You see Ally and Bruce have known each other since they were in diapers and have been that way since I can imagine."

Emma then suddenly had a secretive smile morph on her lips and then looked over at Jack with thoughts running through her head.

"Well that's good to know."

"So who's the new guy?" Bruce asked, as he was driving himself and Alessandra to the movies. Alessandra shrugged as she was trying to mess with the radio. "Honestly I don't know. Our new neighbors I suppose. I'm supposed to be taking him to school with me tomorrow." Bruce scoffed.

"Why can't his parents take him? Why do you need to be obligated to take some guy you don't even know to school with you?"

Alessandra glared at Bruce and slapped him on the shoulder. "Oh Bruce be nice! My mom figured it would be a good way for him to get to know someone! To have something like a safety blanket, you know how vicious Gotham High school can be!" Bruce sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I just want you to be careful. If something happened to you I'd kill him in a second."

Alessandra smirked over at him and gently shook her head. "My dark knight in shining armor. Bruce it's not your job to protect me. And if you continue on doing so it's going to send Rachel the wrong message. She already can't stand me why add more to the strain?" Bruce sighed, keeping his eyes on the road.

"I don't understand why you two cannot get along."

Alessandra then shrugged. "Maybe because she's evil and I'm not." She said rather innocently, Bruce glared over at her and she immediately started to laugh. "Alright, alright. I think she's threatened. Jealous even by my immaculate beauty!" Bruce rolled his eyes and smirked over at her. "You think she's jealous of you?" Alessandra then shrugged.

"Not to sound conceited here but I would be jealous too if my crush is best friends with some girl who takes away all of his attention."

Bruce then gave her a look while she shrugged her shoulders. "I'm just saying Bruce. I think Rachel doesn't get why you and me are friends, why we get along so well and I think she's intimidated by that. I mean grant it you've known her the same amount that you have known me but in her eyes she thinks that you and I connect better than she does with you." Bruce then arched his brow at her. "And how do you suppose we fix that?" Alessandra shrugged.

"Just tell her that we're friends. That's it. And if she can't accept that then she was never meant for you in the first place. Bruce you're my best friend and you will always come first that is why I am more than willing to try get along with her for you but if she tries to ruin our friendship I can't guarantee that there will not be consequences for her actions."

Bruce chuckled and quickly glanced over at her and then back at the road. "Ally why haven't we ever tried to you know… be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Alessandra sighed and gave him a sad smile. "Because I don't want to lose what we have. Bruce if we started dating and something went wrong our entire friendship will be thrown on the wayside." She then looked at him seriously, taking his free hand into hers.

"I don't think I could handle that. I don't think I can handle loosing you."

Bruce finally parked the car and turned the key to stop the engine. He then slowly looked back over at Alessandra and gave her a sincere smile. Bruce then gently lifted his hand, running his fingers through her dark hair and leaned towards her and pressed his lips against her forehead, now resting his forehead against hers.

"You will never lose me."

Alessandra looked up into his dark eyes and nodded. "You promise?" Bruce grinned at her, trailing his fingers against her cheeks. "I promise." Alessandra smiled at him and allowed out a soft sigh. "Well alright then." She said taking his hand into hers.

"Let's go see this movie and make Rachel become head over heels for you."

She said happily and rushed out of his car. Bruce nodded, as he jumped out of the car, placing his hands into his pockets. "Yeah… let's do that." He said, his smile never rising up to meet his eyes like they should be.

It was now morning and Alessandra was rushing down the stairs in her skinny jeans and black button down blouse. "Ally sweetie, have some breakfast!" Her mother shouted from the kitchen. Alessandra grabbed her backpack and purse and quickly walked into the kitchen to see her father sitting at the table reading his paper.

"Morning Daddy!"

She said happily, as she kissed her father's temple. John Abberline grinned once she did this and looked away from his paper. "Hello sweetheart. Had a nice time at the movie last evening?" Alessandra smiled at her father, as she grabbed a piece of toast. "It was fun. Bruce got to spend some extra time with Rachel and shockingly enough she was half way decent to me this time." Evelyn scoffed as she placed John's breakfast in front of him.

"I just don't understand why she has something against you. So what you and Bruce are friends! What's the matter she can't handle a little competition?"

Alessandra shrugged as she pulled her keys out of her purse. "I don't know mother but I promised Bruce that I'll try to get along with her and that's what I'm doing." John then smirked as he was looking over his paper.

"What children will do for young love?"

Alessandra glared at her father, as she finished up her toast. "Daddy how many times do I need to explain to you that Bruce and I are purely friends?" John chuckled, flipping to the next page of the paper.

"When Bruce will finally get that look off of his face every time he looks at you."

Alessandra scoffed, placing her plate into the sink.

"Daddy…"

She said warningly, John looked over at her, finally placing his paper down. "Ally it's completely obvious. The boy has had a thing for you since I can remember. It's you who's resisting." Evelyn then giggled.

"He does have a point darling."

Alessandra then smirked over at her father and kissed his head. "Love you daddy. Have a nice afternoon." John leaned forward and kissed her head.

"You too sweetheart."

Jack sighed as he pulled on his black t-shirt and jeans. He dreaded school; it was the one thing he couldn't stand other than his father, and today was going to be his first day in this hell hole. He had to admit after meeting the Abberline's that he sort of wished that he had a father like Mr. Abberline.

He was very charismatic, and proper the type of father he always wished he could have. However, the father he had now was nothing but an ingrate, a sleaze, and a drunk. He couldn't stand his father for abusing him and his mother and Jack had vowed that one day he will get back at his father for all the mistreatment he has conducted upon his family. As Jack was now smoothing out his hair, he heard the doorbell ring knowing that it must be Alessandra.

"Jackie! Ally is here!"

Jack sighed, looking at himself through the mirror one more time and started to walk out of his room. As he walked down the stairs he saw Alessandra talking with his mother and couldn't help but be intrigued by her. Ally didn't seem like the usual rich type.

In fact she seemed kind of sweet but he figured it was just an act that she pulled on for her parents when they were around. In all honesty he was expecting her to revert into this nasty stuck up snobbish little thing who would flat out tell him that if he ever came near her that she'd ruin him completely.

But as soon as Alessandra caught notice of him she immediately gave him a warm smile that lit up the entire room. 'Damn why does he have to be so pretty?' he asked himself as he finally made it down the stairs. "Hey Jack are you ready to get going?" Jack slowly nodded, picking up his backpack and followed her out the door. "Have a nice day Mrs. Napier!" Emma smiled at Ally not understanding why Jack was being so quiet. 'Maybe he's nervous.' She thought to herself.

"Have a nice day you two!"

Jack gave his mother a small smile and started to dart out of the door. "Bye mom." Alessandra followed Jack out of his house and walked him towards her car.

"So Jack! You excited to start your first day at Gotham High?"

She asked, trying her hardest to make him feel comfortable. Jack gave her a sideways glance as he moved into the passenger's seat, buckling his seatbelt. "Yeah I guess." Ally smiled over at him as she jumped into the driver's seat and started the car. "I'll tell you I give you a lot of credit starting all new and such. If it was me I'd be terrified." Jack shrugged, just looking out the window, not really caring about anything she was talking about.

"Yeah well when you have to move around a lot like I do you get used to it after awhile."

Alessandra quickly glanced over at him and then quickly looked back at the road. "I'm sorry… But look I promise that I'm going to try to make your high school experience somewhat livable." Jack chuckled and finally turned his head to look over at her. "Right… Like you would really care if I enjoyed high school or not." Alessandra was somewhat insulted by his remark, but decided to keep a cool head on her shoulders.

"Look Jack, you obviously don't want me to be taking you to school, nor even associate with you. I know you probably think that I'm some rich, stuck up bitch that is just doing this because my parents had asked me to but to be honest with you I'm not like that. I know I can't make you believe that, but in all honesty I really want to try and be a friend to you. Will you let me do that?"

Jack sneered at her, but couldn't help but feel somewhat flattered that she wanted to really try and be his friend. "Look I'm not a good guy ok? I live one fucked up life and it's just better for you to not associate with me." After awhile of driving, Alessandra had finally parked her car in the schools parking lot and shifted her gear into park when she finally looked over at him and smiled.

"Well… Let me be the one who decides that ok?"

Jack who was still completely taken aback couldn't help the response that was going to be coming out of his mouth. "Ok…" He watched as Alessandra grinned largely at him and happily opened the door.

"Great! Now come on I need to take you over to the office."

Jack sighed, rolling his eyes at the same moment and got out of the car to follow her, not being able to help the small smile that was morphing on his lips.

"Alright… if we have too."
