BATMAN

The Blue Diamond.

Ok so I was watching 'Batman' last night and then I was wondering what it would be like if Batman ran into a younger crime fighter, and what would happen, and this idea just popped into my head.

Disclaimer: I do not own Batman, or anything associated, I do however own The Blue Diamond, and anything connected to her.

(Batman's POV)

I stepped out into the open and scanned the area. Nothing. There had been little crime over the last few weeks.

I wished it was because I was finally getting through to the criminals. But no... Unfortunately it wasn't that. Nope, they were planning something, I could feel it.

As it was only a small recon operation tonight, I didn't bring Dick and Barbara along. Besides, they both had alot of Homework to do. Their education had to come first, no matter how much they begged me to let them drop out. Dick especially.

I started toward the dark alleyway. Someone was usually lurking behind a dumpster or wall ready to frighten their "unsuspecting victim". I shook my head. Good luck to them if they jump out at me.

Suddenly I heard an alarm. It was coming from the Gotham city Bank. That's more like it. I ran towards the sound.

When I got there the crooks were just running out of the bank. They looked like amateurs, and judging by the looks on their faces when they saw me, I'm guessing they weren't from around here.

"Who are you?" asked the big fat one.

I shrugged. "Nobody of Convenience". The skinny one nodded. "Friend or foe?" I remained blank this time. "It depends on who you are. If you're the police or not?"

He smiled. "Were not the Police...?"

I felt my eyes turn to slits. "Then to you...I AM FOE!" I lunged toward them.

The fat one stumbled out of the way as I brought the skinny one crashing to the ground.

"Looks like some-one is doing my job for me" Came a voice from somewhere behind me. "OH SHIT! Boss, its Blue Diamond, she's found us." They looked at me, pleading with me. They were scared out of their minds. Whoever this "Blue Diamond" was, they were petrified of her.

I turned around to face the owner of the voice. She was standing on a ledge across the road. Her hands on her hips.

She had long blonde hair, tied back in a Platt. She wore the most peculiar outfit.

She was wearing long midnight blue boots, which came to her knees. Midnight blue shorties. A midnight blue zip up midriff and midnight blue gloves. Black fishnet covered her legs, torso and arms.

Big surprise, her mask was also blue, and was shaped like a diamond, covering her eyes.

She jumped down from the ledge, and looked at the two crims. "Boo".

They tripped over their own feet as they jumped up and ran.

The girl looked at me. "Who are you?" she asked as she circled me. A predatory glare on her face. "Do you often make a habit of scaring away the criminals before they get jailed?" She asked.

I shrugged. She didn't look any older then around seventeen, give or take a few years.

"So Blue Diamond is it?" I asked incredulously. It was a rather odd name for a crime fighter. She stopped slightly and smiled at me. Atleast, it looked like a smile.

"Yes, Blue Diamond, my mother is a criminal, and so she said that I could join her, but I much preferred to be a good guy and beat up all the crims then steal and lie and cheat" She told me laughing slightly.

For some strange reason I thought I recognised the voice.

"By the way, I know who you are" She said as she jumped back onto the ledge.

"Who am I?" I asked.

She smiled. "Batman, and my mother says hello" She said before jumping down over the ledge.

Mother?

I leave the rest to your imagination teehee.
