Chapter 2

Batman Saves the Day(or Night?)

Allie approached the ally like she always did, pepper spray in hand and keys in the other. She didn't notice the "homeless" people that were huddled around a trash can. After she passed them, they closed in on her like lions on an antelope. She noticed them and gripped her pepper spray tighter. As a tall one grabbed her shoulder she turned around to spray him but then another one grabbed her arms. The third one went for her purse. She was trapped! She screamed with all of her strength until they taped her mouth shut and dragged into a dumpster.

Bruce was having a horrible time after that girl left. I didn't even get her name he thought as he walked to the table with wine on it. Then, he heard a scream. He sighed, I don't even get a break at my own party. He thought as he walked to the South East corner. After he played the notes that opened the door that lead down to the bat cave, he remembered that minuets before the girl he was talking to had left. He hurried to put on his suite and ran out the exit.

This is it! I'd done for! Good bye, world. Allie thought as her wrists were bound and feet tied together.

"Well, well, well" Said the same tall man that first grabbed her. "a little girl that is all dressed up with nowhere to go. We can fix that. Boys, you know what to do." He said with a chuckle.

Bruce ran with all his strength to the ally where the scream had came from. Okay, here goes. Batman to the rescue he thought as he searched the ally for any sign of life, when he heard muffled voices coming from a dumpster. He threw off the lid and jumped in to find the same girl he was talking to.

Oh great, just what I want. A giant bat-thing to see me like this. Allie thought as Batman jumped in.

"Dude! It's the Batman! Run!" A short man said as Batman started throwing punches at the three men. They got out in a hurry and Bruce started to untie the ropes on Allie.

"Thank you!" Allie said.

"No need to thank me. Will you be okay from here?" Bruce replied in the usual horse voice.

"Yes, but you're just leaving?" she asked.

"Yes. Why?"

"B-because. I don't want to get mugged again. My apartment isn't far from here. Please, just walk me home."

"Well…I guess."

"Thank you. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

"No, just doing my job."

"Oh"

They walked the rest of the way to her apartment in silence.

"This is where I leave you. You'll be safe here." Bruce said as he ran and took off.

"Thank you!" Allie said. But Bruce didn't hear her. When she walked in, she turned on the T.V. to watch the news. She fell asleep, trying to think up a way to save Gotham.

"Back so soon, Master Bruce?" Alfred asked as Bruce came into the Bat Cave.

"Yeah, the girl is safe now." Bruce replied.

"Well, you have an early day tomorrow, best be getting some sleep."

"Yeah, what ever you say." Bruce said as he walked up to his bedroom.

Sorry it took so long, I had writers block.
