Lots of Dana bashing because that girl just ticks me off and I really don't like her.
Chapter One: New Girl
It was night-time in Neo-Gothem City and a few members of Jokerz had found some prey down one of the cities many allies.
"Hand over your Creds now babe or we're gonna make your pretty little head black and blue!" the shadowed Joker sneered at the young girl who was on the ally way ground.
"Bu...but...I don't have... any... please don't hurt me..." the small teenage girl pleaded with the offenders.
"Oh now I'm hurt that you would think we would do such a thing like that." a boy dressed as the joker, the clear leader of the group, began to fake hurt.
"Y...you mean... you wouldn't?" the girl was still stuttering in fear but gained a bit of hope. Unfortunately it was false hope.
All the Jokerz started laughing their big belly laughs.
"What do you think, of course we would! Just making a little joke there, now you can give me your Creds and a kiss for payment for my joke can't ya babe."
Suddenly a shadow appeared in the opening of the ally. Nope it's not who you think it is.
"You know in all the words of the English language, that has got to be the absolute worst of them all..." the voice of the shadow sneered at the Jokerz gang.
"...and you lot just using it shows how unfortunate you must have been at home. What's the matter, mummy and daddy refused to give you something and now you babe-ies are acting all big by trying to be some jokes of some Jokerz?"
A girl roughly in her mid-late teens, with dark red hair with brown streaks peaking out of the back of her beret, came from the entrance of the ally walking confidently towards the Jokerz, a few of which were wetting themselves because no-one had talked to them that way before and they were shock that anyone did much less a girl.
"You got some nerve girlie." the leader said as he began slithering around the teen forgetting about the other girl who took refuge behind the dumpster. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to!"
You can tell the poor sap is getting mad and where this is going can't you.
The girl shrugged nonchalantly before folding her arms and turned her head slightly to see the 4 other Jokerz moving around her in a circle. Before replying the brave heroine looked directly at the leader with a coy grin. "A bunch of second rate, Clown school drop outs."
It wasn't a guess. It was a matter of fact and the teen prepared herself for what was coming.
"Why you little Twip. Fine you can pay for the joke and that wise crack." the leader was really ticked off now.
"Funny I though the only jokes were your attempts at face painting each other. Especially you Mrs. Lipstick." The girl jabbed her thumb in the direction of the lone female Joker who was wearing lipstick as though it was put on by a blind man...in fact the girl was sure a blind man could have done a better job then all of them.
"OK THAT'S IT!" They all lunged at her at once rising their fists, clubs and... rubber chicken but the girl was well prepared for the attack.
She rolled onto her back taking the leader with her and by using her feet pushed him into the Joker behind her, then immediately got up on her hands and kicked the last boy in the chest before taking the female Joker by the hand and throwing her around and into the dumpster.
When the red haired/brunet managed to tie up each of the Jokerz she turned to the person still hiding behind the dumpster.
"Alright first off are you okay?" the defender looked at the shacking, blue dress wearing girl with slight concern while waiting for a response. Once the nervous girl nodded, the one that had saved her let loose her immense temper.
"Second are you completely moronic girl, I mean what in the name of all that's holy were you doing walking around on your own this time at night, you must know this kind of thing was gonna happen didn't you!" Having said all that she turned her head upwards to the top of the walls of the ally, with admittedly an even more disgusted face.
"Oh and don't think I can't see you up there Batman, get your butt down here I've got a bone to pick with you!" The girl that was hiding snapped upward to see a descending Batman coming towards them both. Her head then whipped towards the other girl, whom she noted looked around her age.
"Oh gosh how did you know he was up there?"
"That would be my question." The batwonder, both old and new couldn't fathom how she knew that Terry was hanging above them.
In the batcave, Bruce turned on the vid link and his eyes widened and a rare smile grew on his lips 'That explains it' the original Caped crusader thought to himself 'She's learnt well.'
Watching through the link Bruce saw the girl still preatching "Can't either of you use your heads?" the girl said as if the answer was obvious, which to her it clearly was, turned to the teen still on the floor. "Gezz it's his job to be here, it's only logical that he would be here later rather then never, speaking of which..." the multi-coloured haired girl looked back at Batman.
"Why were you so late in getting here, like I said it's your job to do these things not everyday people like me." Batman could tell this girl was letting off some steam and was on the aftermath of adrenaline by the way she was moving vigorously about the small space of the ally but what he didn't get was why and what she was so mad at him for, she clearly didn't need his help in dealing with the Jokerz so what was the problem?
"Look lady I wasn't late you simply got here before me and by the time I got here you were throwing the last of them in the dumpster, nice shot by the way..."
The sort of Samaritan cut him off.
"I didn't ask for your prise, all I want is for the area around my new school to at least be safe from moronic thugs like these guys but I guess I was wrong I had to take one for the team before my first day," when saying this she gestured to her right arm which Batman realised had blood running down it and it was dipping from her hand to the floor. When he moved forwards to help her, she raised her left hand to stop him so she could continue.
"...and that really makes me mad since this little scared cat hasn't even said thank you yet cause she's only concerned about how I knew you were here which was totally obvious how!"
The girl was now panting her heart out, not surprising, I think anyone would after a rant like that all the while tearing at her skirt to make bandages for her arm. After all that Batman and the other girl could do has stare at her with mouths open at her lung capacity.
After shaking her head a little to clear it from all that had just happened the other girl finally addressed the girl who had just saved her and had finished tying a rather sloppy bandage.
"You're starting a new school... You must mean the one around the corner, that's the one I go to, maybe I could show you as a thanks for what you've done for me."
All of the girl's panting and movements stop in a single instant. Slowly she lifted her head up from her arm and looked straight into the eyes of the other girl.
"What's your name?" she asked with a point blank monotone voice.
"Urr...Dana. Dana Tan."
"Well Dana, Dana Tan, like everyone else in the world I base my opinion of people based on first impressions and my first impression of you is a semi-spoiled damsel in distress weakling, who has always had someone who looks after them and holds there hand in hard times and, on top of all that, seems to be a bit of a gossip, if that impatient anticipation in your eye it anything to go by." she then flipped her hair over her shoulder in a mocking reaction to meeting Dana, she then rapped up her rant.
"...so why would I want you to show me around when I more then obviously know how to look after myself better then you do."
A double shocked Batman and triple shocked Dana once again had their mouths hanging open and this time it was the bat who spoke first.
"Come on now don't you think that's just a little to harsh?" he was trying to be a moderator in this debate, without being to lenient towards Dana and reveal himself to her, even though he really wanted to, but the girl wasn't gonna continue the debate that much longer.
So she grabbed Dana by the arm pulled her up, since she still hadn't gotten up from the ground, then thrust her into Batman's arms then turned and walked towards her dropped bag before turning her head back to the pair behind her.
"Harsh or honest, there is a fine line between the two and it's all in the eye of the beholder..." the disdain in her words was unmistakable. "...so go ahead and think it's harsh but you're probably as insecure as the rest of the people in the world so you probally don't like to hear the truth about yourself read out to you. It's a fact of life, no one can avoid it so they shouldn't try." She began to walk towards the entrance of the ally.
Getting a bit ticked of with how this girl was talking to his daytime girlfriend, Batman took a step protectively in front of Dana seemingly to protect her from the words.
"That analysis must include you then mustn't it?"
Stopping completely the girl turned around and with a small almost sad smile and said, "Yes Batman but the only difference is that I'm well aware of that fact. Good bye Batman, might see you around and Dana I'll see you in school but I don't expect you to talk to me so don't expect me to talk to you."
And with that last word the girl turned on her heel and left the ally. It was only then that Batman and Dana realised that they didn't know the new girl's name.
AN: so what did you think? Don't worry more plot will come and the girl is very important to the story's progress and does get better, so please review ^_^
