Terry was in a hurry. He ran down the street, past the toy shop, down the alley, and slowed down his pace. He was late for his date with Dana AGAIN and he knew she would be so upset if he didn't show up. He had to work late for Bruce and he so wanted to tell Dana about his night job, but Bruce would kill him if he did.

He walked into the restaurant and brushed back his hair. He looked around quickly but didn't see Dana. He groaned. "Why oh why? Bruce, PLEASE! Please let me tell her!" He thought.

"Terry, where were you AGAIN? Please Terry, if you don't want to see me anymore, just tell me," a voice said from behind. Dana was dressed in a pink mini skirt and a black bandeau shirt.

"You look… beautiful…" Terry said. "I mean, of course I want to see you, Dana! Why would I be here EVERY time Bruce lets me out of that cave of his?" Terry gasped.

"What do you mean, "that cave of his?" Dana asked, curiously.

"Dana.." Terry began.

"If you don't want to tell me that's fine…" Dana said, reluctantly.

"No. I have to tell you or you will be always upset." Terry said, slowly. "Here, sit down."

He pulled up a chair and started telling her how he got roped into the business with Bruce. The part he left out of Bruce being batman was left out.

"WOW!!! So all those times… you were gone… and Batman appeared….. you were BATMAN???" Dana asked, astonished.

Everyone looked. "Oh, sorry! We're rehearsing for a play… did I say that loud?" Dana asked, innocently. They all looked convinced and turned to their usual doing.

"So.. who else knows?" Dana asked.

"Well, Max is the only other one." Terry added, "Just because she caught me!" He said quickly.

They walked out of the restaurant and toward the park. It's a calm night, Terry. It's beautiful." Dana and Terry stayed there until midnight and left for home.

On Dana's way home, a huge creature's shadow bounced from tree to tree. Dana didn't notice it and walked straight on home.

Terry walked home and saw that his mom and brother were gone. He spotted a note that said," We have gone to see the Batman that is at 8:00."

Terry looked shocked. Eight? It's past midnight!
