mhmmhmmh lalala laaa"
A huge lighting ball hit the slippery road in front of Riana s eyes. it sounds so loud even she feels the shaking of the earth. She mutes her radio and slows her car as slow as possible. What in the world is wrong with the sky? And it's her first day in Gotham city. And she is already wet. How is she going to start her work from tomorrow after bathing in this rain?
"DSHHH" another lightning ball hit the road. Riana stops her car next to a huge tree. she doesn't want her car to get hit by a huge lightning ball. But still, her car is under a tree and… well, she doesn't have a place to go at the moment. she is 8 Kilometers away from the city and stuck in a road middle of the forest.
"I hate rain" her nephew Terry said annoyingly.
Riana looks back at her nephew who is sitting on the back seat. He is closing his small ears and looking outside.
"I hate rain," he said annoyingly again.
"Me to Hun" Riana yawn and reply. She was so tired after driving all the way to Gotham City from the Airport. It's her job to pic her little nephew from the airport and keeps him with her for few days until her brother land to Gotham
"we are still 8 or 9 kilometers away from the city hun" she said again. Her Little nephew makes a sad noise. Riana turns back again and smile with him.
"What's Wrong Hun," She asks kindly. she loves her nephew more than his own mother. Little guy covers his face from his hands before replying.
"What if The Dracula comes?"
Riana wide her eyes before starts to laugh.
"Dracula in here? "She asks. Terry looks away annoyingly. Riana taps his head and began to sing his favorite song.
"raw raw Roy about gentle down the steam, Merely merely mealy merely Merely merely mealy merely…. Errrrr hey Terry what is the next part." She asks while making puppy eyes at Terry. Terry suddenly starts s smile. He is only 4 years old.
"Life is but a dream," he said and clap. "YEPPPYY" he screams.
Riana laughs and glances back at the rainy road.
She starts to work as a jewelry Designer in her Brothers Company. And that's why her brother sent her to Gotham with his kid. She had done many popular Designs to people when she was in England. But this is the first time she came to the Gotham Brach of her Brothers Company.
Wayne Manor
Alfred starts Closing all the Windows inside the manor. He doesn't want rainwater and mud to destroy the whole floor he moped a few hours ago. his old hands work so fast.
"Come on Alfred let me Help You," Burse said and try to push the old man away from his work.
"No No Master Burse. For the last time. I am not that old. I can do this by myself" Alfred said Annoyingly and push the young billionaire master away from him. Burse laughs and step aside. He can't believe his old butler sometimes. He never allows Burse to do chores in the household.
"Maybe we should find a maid for you, Alfred," Burse said and sat on top of the table. he took an apple from the bawl and start to eat.
Alfred Stare at his master's boyish act for few seconds before reply.
"Maybe we should find a mate for you Master Bruce," he said and smirked.
Burse wide his eyes and chew the apple so hard.
"Come on Alfred I met few ladies' in past week. And I am going on a date with a one again tomorrow"
"Oh well, you are doing that because you have something big to cover up"
"well it was fun," Burse said the last part while looking out from the window. Small raindrops hit it with the cold smoky wind.
"perhaps it's time for you to stop acting and let someone special too know who you really are Master Bruce," Alfred said Seriously with a warning in his voice.
Burse exhale a deep berth. he knows what Alfred talking about. He hates this topic so much. He knows there is no one out there for him.
"Alfred without my money and looks I am just another 30 years old jerk to everyone"
"and that's why you have to find someone to tell the truth"
"I don't Know Alfre,d" Burse said and keep stare at the dark misty road.

"I am not thinking about the rain… what if someone saw me, what if Dracula saw me" Terry scream annoyingly. his pants are still down and rain water is covering them. Riana Roll her eyes for the second time of the day.

"Now Pee" She demand.
Terry Slowly loose himself and start to pee.

Wayne Manor
Bruce slowly step inside to his hid out under the Wayne Manor. He doesn't feel good after what Alfred said. He Yawn and stretch his arms before sitting next to his bat Computer.
"Let's start some work shall we," he said to himself.
He lazily turns on his computer and yawn again. The computer shows nothing. No robbery's or emergency signals. Bruce Yawn again and keep his head on the table.
"perhaps it's time for you to stop acting and let someone special to know who you really are Master Burse"
Bruce turn his head towards Rachel's Photograph.
"I wish if you are still alive Rachel, I really Miss you," he said sadly. how can he think about someone else after Rachel s death? She was the only one who understand Bruce more than anyone else. And she was the only women Bruce loves the most. She was her friend. No one can take her place.
"Sometimes I don't understand myself Rachel. How am I going to let someone to get close to me when you are decorating my mind"?
"Triing , Triing" Suddenly one of the bat signals make a noise that scares Bruce. He jumps out from his seat and press the buttons to turn on the cameras.
"what is going on Master Bruce"
"I don't know Alfred I am already Checking on"

Riana roll her eyes when Terry starts to cry.
"Come on Terry. It's only a few miles" she said kindly. she knows why Terry is crying. The boy is in pain and hungry. Riana look around to find a store. but there is nothing at all.
"My shoes are cover with mud. Aaaaa and my whole body smells like peeeee aaaaaaa" Terry Scream again. "I want to Bathhhhh"
"oh dear god," Riana said and pic her phone to give a call to her Brother. but then suddenly something big happens and Riana's car starts to shakes. She tries her best to slow down the vehicle but the slippery road didn't let her.
"WHAT IS IT? What's going on" Terry Scream in Terror.
Riana didn't answer but she knows what happen to her car already. Flat tier. Riana exhale a huge berth after her car stops safely. She closed her eyes and keeps her head on the Steering wheel. What in the world is she going to do now? She knows how to change the tier. But not in this weather.
"I didn't know from witch side I wake up this morning. But it has to be a bad side" She morn to herself.
"No what are we going to do?" Terry asked sadly.
"I don't know Terry" Riana reply without opening her eyes.
"Maybe we can ask help form that guy," Terry said suddenly while moving to the front seat.
Riana open her eyes for a second and look at Terry. He is staring at the dark road. Then suddenly Riana so him. it's an Old guy with an umbrella. Riana open her window and wave her hand so the old man can see her.
"Heyy" She Screamed. The Old Man wave her back.
"he must be the Draqula"
Riana Roll her eyes before Shushing Terry.
"Hello Miss," Riana heard the old man's voice next to her. she simply smiles with him.
"Hi," She said.
"Is Something Wrong Miss" The Old man ask Politely.
Riana stare at his face for a second before answering him. he doesn't look like the Dracula.
"well we have a Flat Tier .and I know how to fix it." She said slowly. "But The Problem is I can't at the moment. I am wet and feeling cold badly and it's raining like hell"
"Oh, I see, by the way, miss, my name is Alfred Pennyworth." The Old man said and gave his hand to Riana for a hand shake. Suddenly Riana saw Something familiar to her eyes on Alfred's coat. Her eyes start to glow after the discovery. The cuffing set he was wearing was made by her. She laughs at it but didn't said a word. He must be from England.
"Oh Hi well a… my name is Riana and this is Terry" Riana introduce herself and comb Terrys hair. Alfred Smile with them and wave at Terry who wave Alfred back.
"well I can Help you, Miss," Alfred said. But I can't Keep you and your Nephew here alone like this"
Riana didn't reply for this. She waits until the old man talk.
"I live nearby. and I brought an Extra Umbrella with me. how about you both come with me and have nice warm tea" He said.
Riana stare at Alfred s face for few seconds. She doesn't normally trust people. What if this guy is a thief? What if he does something bad to them. And more Importantly, how did he found them.
"Aaaaaa" Riana Starts to think. and Alfred seems to noted it too.
"It's Alright Miss I am not going to hurt you. Actually, you were in the Wayne Property. This land Belongs to Master Bruce. He Gave this Road to the Government as a Social Service. And we have Cameras and a Security System around Here. We saw your car and…
"You saw What AAAAAAAAAAAA" Suddenly Terry starts to cry before Alfred end his story. Riana slowly Massage Terrys hair and smile. She understands why Terry Cry.
"Did I said something Bad Young Miss?" Alfred ask with confusing voice. He has no idea about the Reason Terry Starts to cry.
"It's nothing please don't mind him. You said that you have Cameras Right?" Riana ask while laughing. Terry Glare at her.
"Yes," Alfred said. His eyes are wide like Oranges.
"Terry Peed a few minutes ago, and now he thinks that you saw it"
Alfred Starts to laugh after Riana Explain the Situation.

Alfred took the Bag from my car.
"Aunt you think Mr. Buuusy Wiini is a good Person". What if he eat us?"
I laugh at what Terry said. 'Buuusy Wiini' now that was funny.
"Don't Worry hun. I am Shure he doesn't wants to eat us" I said and laugh again.
"Here we are" Suddenly Alfred Point his finger towards a huge old mansion. My mouth Open as a O.
"WOW," Terry said with a huge Surprise. I wide my eyes with the same Surprise. This mansion is huge. I wonder how Bruce Wayne Looks like in real life. I heard about him from Magazines and TV. But I never met him in person. I wonder how he really looks like. Then Suddenly it hit my mind, I wonder How I looks like.
"This way Miss," Alfred said and Open The front door of the mansion. I Slowly keep Terry on the floor and hold his hand.
"Come in Miss. I show you the wash room" Alfred said kindly. He helps me to remove my muddy coat and hang it on the wall. I remove my shoes before entering the house. Terry Look at me with a weird face. I smile back at him. I don't want to destroy the cleanly floor of the Mighty Bruce Wayne.
