Batman now Bruce Wayne without cowl types away on the batcomputer. It's been three days since Dark Warrior made their appearance . The warrior has fought crime and putting thugs in jail. Bruce wants to know who this person is and what's their motive. What he actually likes about this person is the GCPD is irritate with the warrior as much as Batman.
'Who are you?' he thought to himself, staring at a photo of Dark Warrior.
"Morning sir," said a british butler as he brings a cup of coffee.
"Morning Alfred," Bruce said not looking away from the screen.
"Still researching?"
"Yes, I went through every person in Gotham who could be Dark Warrior."
"And nothing?" Bruce nodded. "Well sir, maybe you could talk to Dark Warrior."
"You want me to ask for their identity?" He chuckles and gets away from the batcomputer. "I don't think so."
"Maybe you two can be partners."
"Sorry Alfred, but Batman works alone."
"We'll see," he mumbles to himself. "I'm here to remind you of the party tonight."
"Party?"
"Yes, Gotham's fashion line has gain new models."
"Who cares about new models."
"These models are very famous in Europe."
"Why do I have to go?"
"You're reputation as a billionaire playboy. And you miss too many parties because of Batman business."
"Alright, I'll go."
"You can also bring a friend."
"Well people will be expecting me to hook up with a model, so I'll invite Ethan."
"A wise choice."
Bruce changes out of his Batman suit and heads up the manor. He takes out his cell and dials Ethan.
"Hello?"
"Ethan? It's Bruce."
"Hey Bruce, what's up?"
"Do you have any plans tonight?"
"Well if you count me watching reruns"
"Well if you want, I got an invitation for a party."
"About the European models?"
"Yeah, so do you want to go?"
"Bruce, I'm surprise you have to ask. I'll be there."
"Great, I'll pick you up about 6:30 tonight."
"Alright see then."
Ethan hangs up and Bruce puts his phone away and thought, 'It's going to be a long night.'
Alfred drops Ethan and Bruce off, and they enter the building. Inside is all of Gotham's business people; mostly fashion. Bruce is surprise to see Chief Angel Rojas and he's flirting with girl, well trying to.
"Ethan, why is Chief Rojas here?"
"Trying to pick up a girl, I don't how he got invited." Ethan notice a blonde girl looking at them. "Hey Bruce, looks like you caught her attention."
He glance at the blonde girl and knew that she's a gold digger. "Not my type."
"Well she's my type."
"Go for it, just be careful."
"You shouldn't be telling me to be careful."
Bruce roll his eyes than he goes to mingle. Alfred told Bruce that he hopes that he'll find the one in these parties. But being Batman, Bruce doesn't know if he could be a loving husband and a hero. Besides the point, most the girls will marry for his fame and money.
"What the Batman," yelled Chief Rojas, which caught Bruce's attention.
"Yes the Batman. I think that he's the best hero for Gotham. I mean he puts the villains away and save the citizens. The police do a fine job but this city needs the Batman."
Bruce sees a woman maybe a year or a few months younger than him and two inches shorter. She has black hair down in light curls, wearing a tight red dress, a little makeup, and her eyes are hazel. Bruce smiles at her response.
"What's your name?"
"Clara."
"Well Clara, Batman is nothing but a crazy man dress up in a bat suite. He shouldn't be doing the police's business."
"Excuse me Chief, can I take this one away?" He couldn't let her suffer and gently grabs her arm, Clara gives a confuse look. "I need a dance partner."
"Go ahead Wayne," he growls.
"Great, let's go." Bruce takes her to the dance floor as a song for a slow dance begins to play. "Sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable."
"You're not and there's no need to apologize. I should be thanking you for saving me," she said in a sweet voice and smiles.
"Well I couldn't let you suffer."
"Thanks but I guess I made a bad impression on the chief."
"Don't worry about him, he's full of hot air." She laughs. "Are you new in Gotham?"
"I guess it does show."
"Sorry."
"Don't be, yeah I just moved here."
"From where?"
"Paris."
"Paris, so you're…"
"A model. Yes," she cuts him off. "So do you have a name?"
"You don't know who I am?"
"Of course I do, but my mother tells me to always ask for their names even though you know who they are."
Bruce smirks, "I'm Bruce Wayne. And what's your name?"
"Clara Jackson."
"Pretty name, but I thought it would be European."
"I was born in Star City. When I was 15, a woman found and took me to Europe to be a model."
"Wow, that must be a chance of the lifetime."
"Yes, so what did you do?"
"After my parents died, I finish school and travel the world."
"That must be fun." Than she realize what she just said. "I'm so sorry. I meant…"
"I know what you meant it's ok." Bruce said with a smirk than the song ended. "Do you to get a drink?"
"Love too."
They walk to the bar, where Bruce sees Ethan sweet talking to a girl.
"I'll have a sparkling water."
"Yes mam. What would you like sir?" the bartender asked.
"I'll have the same." Bruce said and face Clara. "Don't drink."
"I quit."
"Really?"
"Yes, only one night change my feelings for alcohol."
"What happened? If you don't mind me asking?"
"It's fine. I drank to much and I was puking my guts out. Of course the next day, I had a huge hangover. Since then I quick drinking."
"Wow and look at you now."
"I know, what about you? Do you drink?"
"No, I hate alcohol. All I need is coffee."
Clara giggle than Ethan comes to join them, "Damn I got rejected."
"Um Ethan, this is Clara."
"It's nice to meet you," she said and shakes his hand.
"The pleasure is mine," Ethan said and kisses her hand.
"Clara, I finally found you." A woman with short blonde hair and green eyes came to the group; and grabs Clara's arm. "We need to go. They're introducing us."
"Ok," Clara face Bruce. "Shall we continue when I come back?"
"Of course."
"See you then."
As they walk away Ethan punches Bruce in the arm. "You dog."
"What?"
"That girl, she's gorgeous."
"She's beautiful."
"Bruce you're in."
"Ethan, we've just been talking."
"That's the first step of every relationship."
"Believe what you want."
The lights went off and the center of the stage lit. A man stands in the middle of the stage, "Welcome businessmen and women of Gotham. I like to thank you all for coming here tonight to celebrate our new models. Each very talented and gorgeous. May I introduce Priscilla!"
The blonde woman walks on the stage do a few poses and kiss the man on both cheeks.
"Gabriel!" A man with a spray on tan job walks on the stage. He rips off his shirt to reveal his six-pack.
"Louise!" A woman with short red hair walks on stage, she does a few poses. Bruce didn't know how she did it, because her dress is so tight.
"Raphael!" A man is long dirty blonde also rip off his shirt to show off his pack. He throws the shirt to the audience to reveal his muscles.
"And finally Clara!" She walks on the stage and do a few sexy poses. The models stood together and keep on posing. "Gotham our new models!"
Everybody clap than they walk off stage, Bruce sees Clara trying to make her way back. But than the batwave goes off. Bruce checks inside his coat and it turns out that the Joker is on the loose. He looks at Ethan, who's flirting with a group of girls; so he's not that worried for his friend. Clara touches his shoulder, he hate to do this but has no choice.
"Clara, I got to go."
"Where?"
"Something came up at Wayne Industries. It was nice meeting you." Bruce leaves before she could say anything and summons his batmobile. He feels bad for leaving her but duty calls.
Batman drives through the streets of Gotham; he heads to an abandon warehouse. Finally arriving his destination, he hides in the shadows. He doesn't see Joker. Batman steps into the light than a playing card flies out of nowhere and miss his head by a centimeter.
"Hello Batsy!" said a voice in a melody.
"Joker," he growls.
"Why so serious Batsy? All I wanted is to have a laugh." His laugh echoes in the warehouse than there's a click. Joker didn't notice the sound but Batman did. Before he could think, Joker decided to reveal himself. "Don't you see Batman. I get So! Bored! at Arkham that I needed to escape."
"You're going back."
"We'll see about that."
"Yes, we will," said another voice.
"Who's there!" yells Joker.
The click came back to reveal a person in black, "The name is Dark Warrior."
"Oh are you Batsy's new partner?"
"No she's not," snapped Batman.
"The Dark Warrior is a she? Hmm, lets see by removing the mask."
Joker pounces towards Dark Warrior, Batman grabs the back of his shirt and throws him the other direction. Causing him to land on his back, Dark Warrior jumps over Batman and drop kicks Joker on the stomach. Batman runs and gives him a punch across the face and to his surprise Joker is out. They hear sirens and quickly leave the warehouse, only to be on top of a roof.
"How did you know?" Dark Warrior asked breaking the silence.
"I'll give you this the first time I met you, I didn't even know. You usually wear combat boots, but today you're wearing black high heel boots."
Dark Warrior looks down at their boots than at Batman. The warrior brings her hands to her mask and removes it. Batman sees their hair pulled back and a domino mask covering their eyes. Dark Warrior release their hair to reveal black hair with random purple streaks.
"Good job Batman," said Dark Warrior in a more feminine voice.
"Who are you?"
"You first."
"No."
"Than I guess you'll have to figure it out or tell me your's to find out my identity," she said with a smirk.
"Why are you here?"
"To meet you."
"Don't lie."
"I'm not. I came to Gotham to work with you."
"I work alone."
"Excuse me, didn't you see what we did to Joker. You were surprise on how fast we knock him out."
'How did she know?' Batman thought but push it aside. "Doesn't matter."
"Well no matter what you do, you're not going to get rid of me."
"No matter what you're not going to be my partner."
With that said Batman leaves the roof to go home for sleep. Dark Warrior stares at the direction Batman left; a smile forms on her face.
"We'll see Batman."
