A/N: The first part got quite a bit of support, and I thank you all for that. I had slight doubts going into it, but I am glad it's getting positive feedback. Here's another one.

Chapter 2: Barbra Gordon

Ah, the beautiful Barbra Gordon. A beautiful sight for anyone who had just moved to Gotham, and to me, still is.

We met at the Gotham mall, a week after the incident in the alley. I was turning a corner, and we bumped into each other, and knocked a box off a shelf. We both went to pick it up.

"Sorry, I didn't see you." I said, looking at her.

The girl was a red-head, which I had NO problem with. She was about the same height as me, but I was slightly taller, and I went to put the box back.

"No, that's my fault." She said, helping me put the box back on the shelf.

"At least there are some decent people in this city." I said. She jumped slightly, and twitched.

"Yeah, well, nice meeting you, bye." She left, and I was suspicious.

I had a knack for noticing small details. The way she twitched made me think she wasn't telling me something, but I didn't know why, I had just met her, why would she keep something from me, and why would I think that at all. I shrugged it off for a while.

We ran into each other again that same week at the library. She was putting books on the shelf, and I walked up behind her, startling her.

"You again?" She wasn't to surprised this time.

"I'm sorry, but we still haven't been introduced." I said, wanting to know who she was.

"Look, I'm a bit busy right now, can you leave me alone?" She asked politely.

"Nevermind then." I left without saying anything.

I found an apartment that I could afford finally (I lived on the streets during the time looking for this), and was just about to turn in for the night, when I heard screaming in the room across the hall. I went across, and froze in fear. I gulped, and swung the door open. I was startled by the sight.

There was a guy with a gun, and he had it pointed at a woman and a little girl. I became enraged.

"Drop the gun!" I yelled walking towards the guy. He pointed it just the lady, and I heard it click.

"One more step, and the lady gets it, along with the kid!" He threatened.

"What is it with people in this town?" I mumbled under my breath.

A few minutes later, I saw the guy's finger come off the trigger, and I lunged at him. I took him off his feet, and he spilled his bag of stolen items. I punched him in the face before he rolled over, and started doing the same to me.

I was down, and the guy clicked his gun again, and pointed it at the kid first.

"No…" I gasped for air, and heard glass shatter before blacking out.
