Disclaimer: I don't own Batman Beyond. I only own Jules and Samantha.
A/N: Please review and let me know what you think. This is my first Batman Beyond fic. It takes place before Terry has taken care of Blight/Derek Powers. So far this is all I have.
Nightfall Gotham:
A lone figure stood on the rooftop of the Fox Techa warehouse watching the Jokerz, waiting for them to make their move. Finally, a gun shot rang out. This meant they had begun to have what they considered to be fun. The figure made its move.
"Can I help you with anything boys?" The figure purred sweetly.
"Who are you?" One of the thugs asked. The others nodded in agreement.
The figure noticed the shock on their faces. He had expected a man. That much she had been sure of. With a quick kick to his stomach she downed him. There were only five more to go.
"Who cares. Get her!" The leader of the gang said causing the girl to laugh.
With in moments the rest of the thugs were hanging from a lamppost. She had just finished placing an anonymous phone call to the police. Bidding the thugs good night she took off for home. Her last thought as she once again surveyed her work was that once again the Bat hadn't shown up.
The next morning she woke to find herself all over the news and on the front page of every major newspaper in Gotham. Commissioner Barbara Gordon was calling for her "immediate arrest", saying she "wouldn't allow anymore vigilante justice in her city."
"Oh that's rich coming from the former Batgirl isn't it kitty?" Perhaps the time had come to pay Batman a visit. The question was how.
Getting dressed she headed for work. Working for Wayne-Powers had its advantages. For one she could keep an eye on Derek Powers, she didn't trust him Maybe it was the way he'd taken over Wayne Enterprises that had earned him her distrust. Then again it could just be the man himself. Of course there was also the matter of the crush she had on Bruce Wayne. That might have something to do with it. Either way she felt the need to keep Powers in check.
She arrived at work and found her friend and confidant Samantha Walters already there. Samantha was the only one who knew how she spent her nights.
"Hey Jewels I see you made the headlines yet again."
"Well I do my best. Besides someone has to protect Gotham now that Batkid has opted to start taking time off."
"What?" Samantha said with a smile.
Before Jewels had a chance to answer the elevator swooshed open revealing Bruce Wayne. Even at the age of 70 you could feel the confidence emanate from him. Jewels found herself getting goose bumps. Wayne headed straight for Derek Powers' office.
"What did the whack job do now?"
"Not sure. But the look Wayne has on his face tells me it's something huge. Why don't you go offer to take notes."
"Like Powers would allow that, he knows I don't trust him."
"It might have something to do with last night aren't you even the least bit curious? Besides you get to spend time with Bruce that way."
"I'll be back wish me luck."
Jewels went over to the office door and knocked. Powers came to the door, yanking it open angrily.
"Can I help you Mss McAllister?"
"I noticed Abby was out of the office this morning. Thought you might want me to take notes for you."
"Fine. Sit over there and keep your mouth shut." Powers said icily. "Now Bruce what is it you felt the need to barge into my office about?"
"Ms. McAllister is it? Make sure you get this word for word if you would please."
"Of course Mr. Wayne, whenever you're ready."
"Either you leave Fox Techa alone Powers or you'll answer to me. Is that clear?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about Bruce."
Jewels decided there was two ways she could take Powers last statement. Either he was telling the truth, which he highly doubted, or Wayne was right and the attempted break in was his doing. She would have placed a month's worth of creds that it was the later.
"Don't play dumb with me. I'm warning you Powers I can destroy you. I used to eat sharks like you for breakfast." Turning Wayne left.
"Will that be all Mr. Powers?" Jewels asked acting calmer than she actually was. She loved it when Bruce got into Powers' face.
"GET OUT!" Derek Powers barked. He practically threw her out of his office.
Jewels knew she was playing with fire but she also knew that Wayne was right; he had to be it was the only logical explanation for the events of last night. She stood outside the door and attempted to listen in but Powers was being to quiet.
"Ms. McAllister, would you be so kind as to walk me to my car?" Bruce Wayne asked coming up behind her and scaring her. Not that it should surprise her. He was The Batman.
"Sure let me just grab my coat."
