Authors note: This is all about a character I personally think should have been in the Batman/DC Comics world. All credit goes to the makers of those comic's, the only characters I made up are Alexa, Amy, Vivian, and Gabby. This story talks about her life and how she came to know Batman, so here is one chapter so I can know whether to go on or not. Also this is my first fanfiction ever so let me know what I can fix and work on, thanks.
As Alexa walked toward her car after dinner with her friends she finally looked at her clock. "Oh crap!" she yelled "I totally forgot about Amy's recital. I have to go bye, see you tomorrow." She faintly heard their murmured goodbyes as she rushed away.
Pulling up to the gym Alexa ran inside wanting to at least see the last part of her sister's act. She noticed that her sister watched her come in late, so she sent Amy an apologetic smile. Watching her sister flip and twirl across the mat, she was glad that she had remembered the event when she did. As all the girls finished up looking proud, (none more than her sister, of course) she thought of how proud their parents would have been, and a sad smile showed up on her face.
"Ok Amy that was so amazing." Was the conversation starter as soon as they got on the road home. "Yeah I know, I can't believe you almost missed that. That could have ended in tragedy," Was the sarcastic response. "Ha ha ha, would you just turn on the radio brat, by the way that is the last time I will ever compliment you, how do you like that huh?"
As they pulled into the driveway Alexa noticed the light on in the living room. Now what could she be doing home this early on a Thursday. "Man I hate living all the way out here," Her sisters voice brought her back from her thoughts, "it takes way too long to get here." Alexa just nodded her head and rushed to get inside. "Hey is everything alright, did something happen?" she asked her aunt Vivian when she saw her sitting on their grimy old brown couch. Viv's head turned to face her "No everything's fine why do you ask?" Alexa studied her face to see if she was lying, and saw something, was that fear or just her imagination? "Well it's just that you're home really early for a weekday so I didn't know what was up. So did something happen at wor…" Suddenly she was interrupted by her sister for like the millionth time in her life. "Hey Gabby is outside wondering if Lexa can stay the night, at her house tomorrow." Then suddenly Gabby came into the room with a grand flourish of her arms like always. "I guess if she wants to," Vivian said looking at her eldest niece "but be safe and if you want to, come straight home." Gabby nodded as if Viv was talking to her and left without saying anything. "Now is the time I ask myself why I pick such talkative friends, could she have been any louder, I swear". Lexa said before going upstairs for the night.
The next day in Lexa's last class they had a career lecture. "Now for the last presenter of the day, Mr. Bruce Wayne." Everyone oohed and awed as he stepped up to the podium on the gym floor. "I am so honored to be here in another one of Gotham's many fine schools. Today I am going to tell you about a problem that even the companies of Wayne enterprise face. Crime. It is all around us, but it starts here. As you walk the hallways a lot of students may think about which one of the major cities they want to work in, or what it is the want to major in when you are in college." He stopped and took a breath, using this time to make eye contact with just about every student in the gymnasium. "What you don't think is 'I may be tempted, or something may go wrong in my life and I have no one to turn to'. Well students I know you wouldn't want to be that person, but don't let someone else be that person either, bond together and I believe that if every person in Gotham takes care of each other we will be able to abolish crime in the city." At this everyone clapped, and wooted their agreement. Suddenly the bell rang, and no one cared about crime or the very rich young man in a suit standing awkwardly at the podium looking dumbstruck. No one except for Gabby and Lexa as they rushed forward to say hello to the Billionaire Entrepreneur Jr. "Hello Mr. Wayne I am Gabby and this is my friend Lexa, we are such big fans of how you took the company that nearly fell after your fathers passing and you rose it back up again. We were just wondering if you could sign our binders, and take a picture with us." She looked at him with big hopeful eyes, and a quivering lip. He sighed, but nodded his head saying "of course, it would be my pleasure."
