I looked around the new place I was going to try to call my home. It was dark and raining. In the distance I could see tons of tall buildings. I knew I wouldn't exactly ever fit in but I at least could live peacefully. Where was I going to start how did I even begin? I started walking down the street holding my mirror close. I didn't exactly know where I was or well even if anyone would take me in. But I had to find a place to stay. I smiled as I spotted a large house and ran up to the door. I knocked on it a couple times and waited shivering a little. I hadn't realized how cold it actually was. An older man unlocked the door and looked down on me. "Oh my child, are you all right?" Instantly tears filled my eyes and I shook my head. "Who is it Alfred," a voice called as I started to speak. "A young woman sir," he said as a man walked up behind him. My eyes widen a lit as I recognized the man behind the butler. Bruce Wayne a well know man who has tons of money and himself is an orphan. Though technically I wasn't an orphan. I looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry to bother you sirs, just I'm lost and scared. It got dark before I even knew...," He cut me off by picking me up making me gasp. "Alfred set up a guest room for her please," he said and I curled up against him. "Of course sir." He shut the door and walked off to another room and we went into a large bathroom. He set me down and sighed wiping the tears from my face. "Everything is going to be okay. You are safe here. Whatever happened to you we'll sort it out later. What's you name?" I looked up at him, "Rachel," I said softly. "It is nice to meet you Rachel. Are you hungry?" I nodded and he smiled. "All right I'm gonna go get you something to eat and some dry clothes. There are some towels right there so you can dry off or if you like take a shower." "Thank you sir," I said softly and he nodded before walking out the room and shutting the bathroom door.

I quietly set my mirror down and started the shower. My mind was buzzing with what ifs and what now's. I slowly took off my clothes and stepped I the shower. Instantly I sunk to the floor crying as the water washed over me. I was sad, angry, and overall scared but I couldn't feel it as much as I thought I would. Then I remembered my mirror where the strongest of my emotions sat in their own little world where I couldn't feel them as strongly. My master... he had betrayed me and he had lied to me. I thought he was someone I could trust. If I couldn't trust him who could I trust? "Miss, are you all right," Alfred called and I gasped. "Oh um yes, I'm sorry I'll be right out," I called back. I stood up and wiped my face. Well at least I was lucky enough to find a place to stay for the night and with maybe some nice people. I turned off the water and wrapped a towel around me. I opened the door and looked down to see some clothes laying on the floor. I picked them up and shut the door. They were kinda cute not my style though. I wasn't really the school girl type but beggars can't be choosers. I put on the clothes and sighed looking in the mirror. My hair was long and kind of wavy it's how my master preferred it. I growled and looked under the counter. I grabbed a pair of scissors and started cutting my hair. I never wanted my hair long it was all him. When I finished my hair was in a short angled bob and if you asked me it fit better. I cleaned up the mess and put the scissors back. I sighed looking in the mirror once more before grabbing my clothes and mirror and walking out the bathroom.

"You cut you hair," Bruce said softly walking up. I nodded and he smiled. "I like it. Follow me, a friend and I are about to sit down for dinner. You don't mind do you?" "What's his name?" "Richard," he said briefly and I nodded. "That sounds nice." I followed him into a large dinning hall and smiled as a boy about my age walked up. "Richard, this is Rachel she's going to be staying here for a while." He smiled and bowed, "nice to meet you Raven." "Like wise," I said simply. We all sat down at the table and Alfred brought out plates. I ate quietly as the two talked not really paying attention to what they were saying. I didn't really want to say more than needed. When I finished Alfred picked up the dishes and Bruce and Richard went to take a phone call. They seemed to be business partners of some kind. After the dishes were taken care of I quietly followed Alfred to the library and sat silently on the floor reading. I was more than grateful for the extensive library he had.

"Alfred," Bruce called. His head snapped up and he stood up. "I'll be right back." He ran off and I sighed closing my eyes and focusing on his mind. I gasped and got up running down some stairs. "Master Bruce what happened?" I looked at him and tears welled up in my eyes. I ran over to them and Bruce smiled. "Now now, I'm all right no need to get worked up." I shook my head and screamed as the foundation shook. "Alfred take her down stairs," he said firmly. "But sir?" "Just do it, her safety comes first. I can explain it to her later." "I can help," I said softly. "Its okay you've done enough today," he said and Alfred took my hand. Did I dare show them my powers or did I let him handle whatever was going on. I groaned and followed Alfred. He pushed a hidden button and the wall opened up revealing a pole. "Go ahead young lady you first. Don't be scared I'm right behind you," Alfred said. I sighed and slid down the pole to be amazed by what I saw. A huge cave full of gadgets and a huge computer screen. The rumors were true he was a super hero. Alfred walked up behind me and sighed. "Now miss realize that master Bruce has entrusted you with this secret for your safety." I nodded and sighed. I was so tired it took a lot more out of me to get here than I though. I sat down and leaned against the the computer closing my eyes. I was so tired but I was to afraid to actually sleep. What if something were to happen again?
