Chapter 1: 6 Years Ago

A 10 year old Lynn Wayne looked outside the moving car window and looked at the rain. Her mother has just passed away and she now had to live with an uncle she had never meet in Gotham, a place she has never been. When Lynn's mother, Sarah was pregnant, she wanted to leave all the crime in Gotham for her unborn baby. Now Sarah had always kept in contact with her brother, Bruce Wayne, but never visited. At Sarah's funeral, Lynn's uncle was unable to attend due to business. Since then and friend of Sarah's, Emily, has been looking after Lynn.

The reason why Lynn was moving in with her uncle in Gotham and not staying with Emily was because in Sarah's will, if anything happened to her, she wanted and knew that her brother would be able to take care of Lynn. Now she and Emily were driving into Gotham.

"We should be at Wayne Manor in a few minutes Lynn." Emily spoke up, not taking her eyes away from the road. Lynn looked away from the window at hearing Emily's voice.

"I don't understand why I can't stay with you Emily? I never met my uncle before, only seen pictures, and I thought mom didn't like Gotham."

"Sweetie…your mother wanted your uncle to look after you if anything happened to her and you've heard about The Batman right?" Emily asked, quickly looking at Lynn, who nodded at her. "Gotham has been safer with him around and your mother knew that with your uncle around, nothing would happen to you, and he agreed to take you in and take care of you."

"Right…" The 10 year old looked out ahead of her. Emily then turned the car into a driveway.

"Here we are…Wayne Manor…where your mother said she grew up…" Emily stopped the car and put it in park. "…They should be expecting us." Emily got out of the car with an umbrella and ran to the passenger side and opened the door. Lynn stepped out and under the umbrella with Emily. They looked up a few steps and to the front entrance and saw two people; the younger looking man Lynn knew was her uncle from the photos and the older man must be Alfred. Sarah told her about him. She said that Alfred raised her and Bruce after their parents died.

Lynn saw Alfred walk towards them, umbrella in hand.

"It's good to finally meet you Lynn, my name is Alfred Pennyworth. I'm sorry to say our meeting is under circumstances like these. Your mother was a kind girl. I'm sorry for your loss." Alfred spoke up.

"Thanks." Said Lynn.

"Allow me to get your bags." Alfred walked over to Emily, who was gathering bags.

Lynn took an extra umbrella and walked up to her uncle, who smiled at her and she gave a small smile back at him.

"Hello Lynn. I am your uncle, Bruce. Your mother used to send me a lot of pictures of you. You've grown up so much…you even look like her." Then Bruce gave her a hug after she was out of the ran and put down the umbrella. "Thanks." Then Bruce let go.

"Why don't we go inside, shall we?" Bruce led her inside, followed by himself, Emily and Alfred; the two of them carrying the bags.

Thus began Lynn's new life at Wayne Manor.

It may start out a little slow, but I hope it will get better soon.
