I don't own Batman Beyond! But I do own MJ!
"I AM Batman!"-Terry McGinnis
Chapter 1...
I walked out of the alley, well, actually I ran. Zooming past people who seemed befuddled by my small and dirty clothing. 'Ok, the cartoon-traveling I was expecting, but why the hell am I fourteen?! I was twelve! So what happened?! Not that I don't love my new matured body-' My thinking was cut off when I had crashed into something,"S-Sorry!" I stuttered, getting off from the ground.
I looked up and froze. Jokerz, at least five of them. "What's your hurry cutie?" One of them asked mockingly, he looked like a new version of The Joker himself. I gulped, I was about to run when another joker, this one had a bowler hat, grabbed my wrist.
"Let go of me! You wipeout imitation!" I yelled, kicking him where it hurt most. He keeled over in pain,"Hey! Not funny!" some shouted as they ran at me.
I shut my eyes. Then I heard the whirling noise of a batarang. "You alright?" a voice I knew to well asked me, I looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. "Man, am I glad to see you." I walked over to him and held out my hand.
"Terry McGinnis," I said, watching in mild amusement when his white eyes widened,"Or do you prefer Batman?" He grabbed my arm, squeezing it slightly,"Who are you?! How do you know who I am?!" He demanded.
I smirked,"The name's MJ, and-"I looked around, noticing some eyes wandering on us,"We should probably find somewhere else to talk." I said, he glared at me before agreeing. Hooking his arms under my armpits, he activated his rocket shoes.
"Ok, start talking." He commanded, I sighed. We were sitting in an abandoned park that was very secluded. "Ok, um, you're not going to believe me but, I'm from another reality, you along with Bruce, The JLU, Zeta...pretty much everyone you've come in contact with is part of a cartoon produced by Warner Bros. I've met Zeta, by the way he says 'hi', and Ro. I know what you're thinking,'this girl's crazy'. But how else would I know about you, Bruce...Dana Tan, you're girlfriend?" I asked.
He stared at me with a 'WTH' look. "I'm taking you back to the old man, he'll take a blood sample and ID you." he stated, grabbing my shoulders. He pushed me into the car,"Don't bother blindfolding me, I know the batcave is hidden under Wayne Manor." I said in a bored tone.
We zoomed to said-place and Bruce was not looking happy. "Hello Mr. Wayne, can I call you Bruce?" I asked, hopping out of the car. Ace got into defensive mode before smelling me. Once he new I meant no harm, he licked my hand.
Terry glared at me before explaining to Bruce what was happening. I rubbed Ace's belly when the old batman came up to me and said,"If I am a cartoon, then answer something only would know." He commanded.
I thought for a second before smiling,"You were once in love with Diana of Themyscira,aka Wonder Woman, but denied it, saying that it would be better if she didn't know the pain of losing someone dear." I then turned serious,"And for the record, Mr. Wayne , someone doesn't have to be dead in order for you to lose them. I lost my father, and he's still alive." I went back to rubbing Ace's belly.
He stared at me, his expression unreadable. Terry stared at me in awe. Obviously, he didn't know that. "You can go ahead and take a blood sample, but it won't do you any good."
"How do we know you won't spill our secrets?" The new dark kight asked, taking his cowl of. "You don't, but to make sure I stay in check." I got up and smirked,"I do need a place to stay until I can get back to my own dimension."
They sighed.
I hopped onto the bed in the guest room, it was had been cleaned and well-furnished. Bruce had agreed for me to stay, although very reluctant. He got me some new clothes, I felt guilty for bringing up Diana, how else was I suppose to get him to believe me?
I layed in bed for a couple of seconds before taking out the photo of Ro, Zee and I.
Smiling sadly, I whispered,"Goodnight." I fell asleep.
I woke up at six o'clock AM. Yawning, I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom in the room I was in. I washed my face and got changed. I modeled the new clothing that I had chosen. A blue and black striped tank top that hugged my body, dark colored jeans and a zip up hoodie tied around my waist. Brushing my teeth, I thought of a fun idea,'My mom said once I turned thirteen, I would be allowed to use make-up.'
Oddly enough, I found some make-up in one of the drawers. Purplish black lipgloss and pure black mascara. I used these very carefully. Looking at my reflection, I smirked, I looked good.
I made some hot miso soup with chunks of sof tofu and seaweed in them. It was the only thing I could find. "Morning Mr. Wayne." I greeted without looking up. He was obviously surprised. "I know most of your tricks." I stated. Pouring the soup into bowls, I found him cautiously looking at me,"Would you relax, it's just soup. I would never poison my favorite hero." I said, he raised an eyebrow.
I saw Ace,"Hi, and how are you?" he barked,"Good!" Bruce stared at me before sipping his soup. I rubbed behind Ace's ears. "Get ready, you have school in an hour." I nearly spit my soup out.
"S-school?" He nodded,"Your transferring to Terry's highschool." "B-but, I don't know the modern lessons!" I pointed out,"Don't worry, I put in the resume`(SP?) that you had been in the hospital for two years. So you'll be in special classes. Your bag's at the door." He continued eating the soup, I gulped the last down.
"Bye Mr. Wayne!" I ran out the mansion after grabbing the black bag that carried most of my supplies, and I was surprised with what I saw outside. Terry was leaning against a car sulking slightly.
"Ok, I'll bite, what are you doing here?" I asked, he glared at me slightly before sighing,"Wayne wanted me to pick you up so that you didn't ditch school." he grumbled.
"Sheesh, aren't you in a good mood today." I stated, hopping in the backseat,"Look, you're obviously ticked at me, one question though:Why?" "You didn't give me a reason to trust you." "I'm a dimension traveling twelve year old in the body of a hot fourteen year old cartoon character! What more do you need?!" He shrugged,"Reassurance that you won't spill the beans."
"Would it help if I covered reasons on why you stood up your girlfriend?" I asked, he turned to me,"Oh? And how?" "I'll think of something." He muttered under his breath.
We got to school and we were met by a pissed Dana,"And where were you last night? I waited an hour!" she demanded, Terry looked helpless,"I'm very sorry it's my fault." I cut in, she turned to me,"And you are?" "MJ, Terry was stuck babysitting me for my godfather, Bruce Wayne. He told me a lot about you, in fact, he said you were a great girl that he didn't deserve."
She blushed and looked at Terry who grinned shyly. She made an 'aw' sound, hugging her boyfriend and kissing him on the cheek. "So what did he say about me?" "That you had beautiful eyes, which has now been proven." I smiled, it was so easy to sugar coat things.
She blushed more and apologized to Terry before saying how nice it was to meet me, she walked off with Max and Chelsea. "Trust has been earned." He said with a dazed grin,"Yeah yeah, now take me to the office McGinnis."
And we were off.
Sayuki:Well? If you don't get this one, then read 'The MJ Project'. RR, also, this is going to be TerDana. I know not a lot of you like this couple, but I kind of do, I just wish there were more episodes without the whole...
Dana:You don't have time for me, blah blah blah!
Terry:I'm sorry, blah blah blah...
Thanks for reading,I'll try to update soon.
