Gotham City 1:32 am. October 6, 2012

Standing upon the ledge of a seven-story apartment building stood a teenage girl. Her black hair flowed in the cool autumn breeze as her eyes gazed upon the city searching for crime to cease.

The figure closed her eyes as she listened to the familiar sounds of Gotham she had grown up to. The peaceful moment was soon shattered as she heard a cry for help. Using a grappling gun, she swung from building to building until she reached the alleyway in which the plea had came from.

Landing gracefully, she discovered a man trying to rob a women. The robber became aware of her appearance as he was kicked in the stomach.

She did a few quick punches after the man had painfully gotten back up, not even allowing him to fight back. He fell to the ground unconscious after she had finished off with an upper-cut.

"Call the police.", she told the women while jumping from wall to wall up onto the roof.

"Thank you", the women replied, not sure if she was heard.

She was returned with a "You're welcome~", as quiet as the wind.

As she jumped from building to building, she thought to herself that tonight was a good night. There were only a few muggings and even better, no rape.

She headed down to the docks before calling it a night. From past experience and the fact that there hadn't been any illegal shipping in the last couple of nights, she knew that there would definitely be one tonight. She proved herself correct as she arrived and hid in one of the nearby shadows. Illegal shipping tonight. She expected. What she didn't expect was to find the Batman and his little sidekick fighting against the workers of the illegal shipping.

She watched as they each skillfully dodged and blocked against the workers who fought against them while delivering back powerful blows. What certainly caught her eye was how easily the sidekick could be so agile, doing flips to dodge attacks and even somersaulting off of Batman's shoulders to kick one of the workers in the head, instantly bringing that worker falling down to the ground unconscious.

It was then that she noticed how much they suited each other. Batman didn't even flinch or look taken back when his sidekick had leapt onto him and somersaulted off. It seemed like he was expecting it, but as she watched more of the Dynamic Duo, she realized that it was more like they were each anticipating each other's move. It seemed like they could know what the other was thinking, no need for communication. Damn. Dynamic Duo, indeed.

Too busy thinking, she hadn't realize that they were done fighting. Her eyes swept the ground where all the workers laid unconscious, some even in piles. There had to be at least twenty workers knocked out, all done by a mere two people. Well, on second thought, Batman doesn't really count as one person. Fair enough.

Impressed, she decided that it was time for her to begin on the journey back home. Taking a step back, she cringed as the sound of a twig breaking was created. The vigilante cursed herself for not spotting the twig before. Where the hell did this twig even come from?, she thought. Slowly taking a step at a time towards the wall of the shadow's building, she hoped that Batman and his sidekick hadn't heard the snap of the twig made by her.

Finally reaching the wall, she sighed in relief. Looks like they hadn't notice the twig snapping.

Well, that's what she thought.

Right after her sigh, a batarang flew past her head, embedding itself in the wall. Looking to the side, she found that it was only a few millimeters from hitting her face. Holy shit.

"Reveal yourself.", the Dark Knight ordered.

She weighed her options. Run and die from getting hit with a batarang. Well she wasn't sure that you would actually die, but looking at how sharp the one next to her face was, she didn't really want to take any chances. Going with option two, she slowly stepped out of the shadow.

It was a normal patrol night for Robin and his mentor, Batman. Swinging from building to building, taking out thugs and robbers (there was an unusual decrease in crime), they ended up in the docks fighting to prevent an illegal shipping. A couple moments after the last worker had dropped unconscious, Robin had heard a twig snap. Raising an eyebrow at his mentor, they silently dismissed the sound to be made by an animal. They were about to turn and return home for the night when the Dynamic Duo heard a sigh.

Batman, being Batman, quickly threw a batarang at the direction in which the sigh was heard from.

"Reveal yourself.", he said, heavy on the Batman tone just in case it was a villain. Who else could it be? Not like there would be a citizen taking a walk at the docks at almost three in the morning. Robin highly doubted that.

Expecting a thug, the little bird quickly got into a fighting stance, ready to attack or block when he heard the thumps (surprising sounded like the person was wearing heals...) of the ominous person slowing taking their time walking out of the building's shadow. Dramatic much?

Was it a thug? Nope. Robin would have even guessed the Joker over who had came out of the shadows. There, standing in all black...was a girl. And she wasn't even in casual clothes.

The girl wore a vinyl full body cat suit with matching gloves and feminine high-heeled combat boots. Even more interesting, she wore a utility belt around her waist. Just by looking at it, he could tell that it was expensive, maybe even custom made. She wore a domino mask, also matching to the rest of her outfit, over her eyes which were a deep dark brown, yet not black. Looking at the rest of her face, he saw that she had slightly high cheek bones, a straight model-like nose, and pink shaded full lips. Framing her face were windblown ebony black hair.

In Wally language, the girl would have been described as "smoking hot". Wally language, just to remind you that Robin hadn't said it. But if Wally was somehow here and had said that out loud, Robin wouldn't hesitate at agreeing with him. The girl was like a mini Cat woman. Plus a utility belt. Minus the cat ears.

"Who are you?", Batman questioned.

To a normal person, it would have sounded that he was suspicious. But Robin was raised by Batman. He was able to detect a slight surprised tone when his mentor had spoken. That spiked Robin's interest. Batman rarely ever gets surprised. This girl must be more mysterious than he thought she was.

"Nightingale.", the girl simply answered with a smirk.

Robin felt a blush creep onto his face. The girl-Nightingale quickly threw a smoke pellet to the ground after she spoke. Seconds later when the smoke had evaporated away, Robin found that Nightingale was gone.

Looking at Batman, he saw a crease in his cowl as his mentor raised an eyebrow upon seeing his protege's blushing face. Robin quickly turned away, grumbling about being a teenager and having "stupid hormones".

Reviews make me happy. :P
