A/N So I decided to start another fan fic! Hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I will writing it! :)

Chapter 1: A whole new place

Andrea silently looked over her tiny new apartment. She had bought a week ago, and spent a week cleaning. It was like spring cleaning, in the middle of winter. She was exhausted, but tremendously proud. She could restart her life, and she felt leaving Boston and moving to Gotham was the best decision she had made in a while. Even though she had to leave her beloved Victorian home behind, she felt that this tiny apartment was more of a home than the Victorian, and more understanding. It was, well, cozy.

As she was appraising her work, her cell phone started ringing. She hummed along with her ring tone before she finally picked up.

"Hello?"

"An? It's Meg. Where are you? I haven't heard from you in a month!" Her best friends voice was a mixture of panic and relief.

"Meg! It's great to hear from you. Look, I moved to Gotham and have just settled in."

"What?! You moved…but I thought you loved Boston…" her voice was trailing off, meaning she was hurt.

"I'll tell you why soon. It was just very sudden. I had to get away. I needed to start a new life, without…them."

"Oh, I understand." She heard a ruckus on the other phone.

"You ok?" Andrea asked.

"I'm packing my suitcase. I'm coming to visit soon. What's your address?"

Andrea pulled out the deed to the apartment. "Apartment 6A, Mondrago Lane, Gotham City." She faintly heard her friend writing down the address.

"An, expect a visit, well, soon. Jeff's home. Talk to you soon!"

"Bye Meg. Tell Jeff I said Hi!"

"Bye!"

She felt bad that she hadn't talked to Meg in over a month. In college, they were inseparable. But she had bigger things to worry about. Like a job. She went out into the hall and "borrowed" her neighbors' newspaper, and then read the wanted ads.

Andrea still had no jobs. Then one caught her eye. It read…

Andrea made a quick call.

"Hello." A man answered.

"Hi. I'm calling about your job offer."

"You got experience?"

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, well come to the Wayne Enterprises building, tomorrow at 8 am, and go to the Basement. A man named Sean Crane will be waiting for you. You understand?"

"Yes, sir. Tomorrow at 8 am."

"I'll be expecting you. Goodbye." He hung up, not waiting for a reply.

Andrea went to be early that night, excited at having a job already. They must be desperate, she mused. And with the past couple months; she couldn't blame them for being shorthanded. She then drifted off into a dreamless sleep, unaware that her future was going to change rapidly. And it started with that job.
