I woke up and everything was black. "AHH! I'M BLIND!" I screamed.
"Calm down." A voice said. "You've still got your eyes closed."
"You think I'm an idiot?!" I demanded loudly.
I did calm down, however, and realized my eyes were closed (...ha... ha) so I opened them. But I wasn't prepared for what I would see: a man dressed in all black, with a cape and a mask and pointy ears at each side of his head.
"You... you're... the Batman?" I asked.
He nodded.
Now, it was then I realized what a dumb question that was. I mean, of course he would say yes. If you were wearing a bat suit, why you would you say no?
"But how do I know? How do I know you're the authentic Batman? Beneath the mask, you could be anybody. I could suit up, and how would anyone be able to tell the difference?"
"You're not tall enough to pass as me."
I stared. Did one of the biggest superheros ever just DISS me? … whatever.
I looked around. "So... Cool place..." I offered, out of lack of anything else to say.
"You don't have any questions for me?"
"As a matter of fact, I do. Am I going to be attacked by any crazily themed villains? Because, seriously, if someone tries to gas me or something, I might have a panic attack."
He raised an eyebrow. (Theoretically. I'm just imagining he did. I can't actually see his eyebrows, he's got a mask on, remember?) "I don't believe so." The Batman responded uncertainty. "But that's not what I meant. You're not curious as to how you got here?"
"Of course I am! I was... just about to ask." I responded, eyes shifting. "How'd I get here?"
"I can't answer that."
You've got to be kidding. "Okay... So what am I supposed to do now?"
"I'm not sure...since you have no family..."
"Yes I do! I have a mother and a father and-" but he interrupted me. "Shut up! This is a story and I say you have no family!"
What happened to those sweet-natured, non-intimidating superheros? Why of all people did I have to get landed with the Batman? I mean, Spider Man might call himself Spider Man, but at least he has enough sense not to go around dressed up like an actual spider, yanno? But, here I was, with the Batman, and I figured I should go along with him. "Right… Poor me, I have no family…?!"
"Well, I suppose you could always live with Robin and the Titan's…"
"Sounds good!" I said, once I got over how pleased I was I made a rhyme.
So he took me to the Batmobile.
"Shiny…" I said in a mesmerized voice.
"Yeah, sure." He said. "Get in." He added, climbing in himself.
I got in and instantly reached out a hand, but the Batman slapped it away. "Don't touch anything." He ordered.
" But… every thing's so…touchable!"
"Is that even a word?"
I grinned. "Does it matter?"
Eventually we pulled up at a large T. I got out and stared at the building. "Very clever, who would ever guess the Titan's live here?" I remarked dryly. "But, seriously, your boy doesn't think much of subtlety, does he?" It was then the clouds moved and sunlight gleamed on the building.
"Shiny!" I said again in that same mesmerized voice.
Behind me, the Batmobile peeled out with a loud screeching sound.
That's right.
The famous superhero, the guy who saved so many people, totally ditched me. Like I said, was it too much to ask for a sweet, righteous superhero?
Well this is great…What am I supposed to do, knock on the door and say "Hi, I'm Bella!"? I'd look like an idiot.
I knocked on the door and Robin opened it with a quizzical look. "Hi, I'm Bella!"
... What? I couldn't think of anything else to do. Anyway.
"Hi." Robin responded vaguely.
Beast Boy appeared behind Robin's shoulder, whispering, "Who's she?"
"Bella, evidently." Robin answered.
"Do you know her?"
"No. Do you?"
"Nope."
I coughed. "I'm right here you know…"
"Sorry." Robin said. "How did you even get here?"
"The one who was such a father to you ditched me here." I informed him.
"Batman brought you here?" Robin asked slowly.
"And then ditched me here." I bobbed my head.
"Well, we can't leave her out here." Beast Boy said.
"You're right." Robin answered, opening the door wider and letting me in.
Cool. I was living with the Titans.
Well, what do you think? Let me know. I know there wasn't any Robin getting annoyed. If you want that, you'll have to review to encourage me to write more. Ha ha ha. (-shifty eyes- I just like to laugh.) Adios, amigos.
