The bus came to a jarring stop, startling Mavis Logan awake. Rubbing her eyes briefly, Mavis grabbed her duffle bag from above her and slunged it over her shoulder. Stepping off the steps, she observed her surroundings carefully.

Yes, she heard the horror stories about Gotham. About the mob, the Narrows, even the peculiar inmates of Arkham Asylum. But for some reason, they didn't vex her. Not one bit.

If anything the stories drew her to the city even more.

Making her way down the sidewalk, Mavis looked down at the paper where her new address was written down. Her parents insisted that Mavis had an apartment in the nicer 'safer' part of town. Not seeing where she was going, she bumped into a body, causing them to drop the things they were holding.

"I am so sorry!"

Mavis dropped down to help the person collect dropped papers. When she lifted her head, a pair of charming ice blue eyes met hers. The man gave her a brief smile.

"Forgive me, I should have seen you."

Mavis shook her head and smiled. "I wasn't the one paying attention."

The pair stood up. The man stared at her for a few minutes before offering her his hand. "Jonathan Crane."

She smiled and took his hand. "Mavis Logan."

"You're new to Gotham, aren't you Miss Logan?"

"Just Mavis, please. And yes, I arrived about five minutes ago."

Realizing she was still holding one of the files that he dropped, she flushed and handed it to him.

"Oh, sorry." While handing him the file, she briefly caught a glimpse of heading.

"You work in Arkham Asylum?"

Jonathan's eyes shined with pride briefly. "Yes. I'm the head doctor there."

Mavis's eyebrows raised. "Impressive. So, any advice for the newcomer?"

A smirk stretched itself across Jonathan's face. "Trust no one, not even the cops."

Mavis frowned and tilted her head to the side. "I thought the police were the good guys?"

Jonathan's smirk widened. "Not here. Half of the police force is corrupted by the mob."

Mavis nodded. "And what about you?"

Jonathan chuckled darkly. "I'm one of the people you do not want to trust."

Mavis shook her head. "I don't believe that. Your being to nice to me."

He took a few steps closer to her. "Trust me, I'm not someone you trust. I'm someone you fear."

"I still don't believe that."

Jonathan's smirk turned to an actual smile when he realized that he wasn't going to win this conversation.

She's very pretty Johnny.

Jonathon internally frowned and attempted to push his alter ego to the back of his mind. Key word attempt.

"I'm afraid I must bid you adieu, Mavis."

Mavis smiled. "And I to you. Maybe we'll see each other again."

Jonathan smiled and agreed. "Perhaps."

Mavis smiled at her new friend before stepping past him and continuing on her way.

-Time skip-

It's been a week since Mavis has arrived in Gotham. She has somewhat settled into her apartment. Unfortunately, since her apartment was in the nicer part of town, it was also more expensive. Despite this, she has yet to find a job. She has seen tons of job offers, yet none seemed to catch her eye.

How hard is it to find a job in a city this big?

Her thoughts were cut off by her cellphone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mavis!"

Jessica was one of the few kinder souls that Mavis has met during her first week in Gotham.

"Hi Jess! What's up?"

"You said you were looking for a job right?"

"Yeah."

"The company that I work in just had an opening and I managed to get the interview for you."

"Really? Thank you so much! Where do you work?"

"Wayne Enterprises."

"Can you send me the address?"

-Time Skip-

As she walked in the building, Mavis took a deep breath to calm her nerves.

You can do this Mavi. You need this job.

Exhaling, she walked in with her head held high.

"Hi. I'm Mavis Logan, I'm here for the job interview?"

The receptionist looked up and smiled briefly at the brunette before handing her a paper.

"Take the elevator to the top floor. Mr. Knight is expecting you."

"Thank-you."

Sending one last smile to the receptionist, Mavis made her way to the elevator. By the time she reached her designated floor, she had to force herself to calm several times, one for each floor.

I should have taken the stairs, she thought to herself as she reached the top floor.

-Time Skip-

"Congratulations, Ms. Logan."

Mavis smiled and took Mr. Knight's offered hand.

"Welcome to Wayne Enterprises."
