You know what is evil? Stories which write out then stop because another jumped up and said "Write me now!"

I am writing multiplies at the same time due to this.

Anyway we meet Jonathan a bit better in this chap, and we get some spark of other mysteries. Apparently the story did not like me only using 'Jonathan getting to know Klarion' as the mystery so it is adding! It is a meanie!

Now I will say this is not after the FOG incident. That will come later. I have a scene with Klarion and that episode later. Really this is before YJ is even created. But that is not mentioned until later when we get our witch talking to us. But for now we have Jonathan and his normal life which shall be turned on his head later. After all he is going to bop the sleeping cat's tail later.

Now remember: Au, Out of characterness, and OCs holding major roles in the story. If you do not like do not read. It is as simple as that.

I hope you will enjoy!

(Chapter 2)

Black Nails

When the firewalls and all the lovely data-files were placed back together, Jonathan decided that lunch was a very good idea. So he left his little office and went down to the cafeteria. Smiling at Izzy, the woman behind the counter as she handed him his food, he felt his worries wash away for a little bit. Nothing else was going to go weird today. The strange man was nothing more than a distant memory of this morning.

Turning around he began walking to the table at the very back of the room where he always sat. To his surprise there was someone sitting there. Getting closer he smiled as he saw that it was Eric, one of the men on Tech Support and a good friend of his.

Sitting in front of the blue dyed haired man, Jonathan sent him a grin before chowing down.

Eric grinned back before swallowing his food.

"Hey man. How is it up there in the cupboard?"

Jonathan swallowed before answering.

"Alright. Had a strange visitor who had me checking the firewalls for three hours for anything which could cause such damage and fixing what was already done for."

The blue haired man grimaced.

"Met him have you? Mr. Wayne's new secretary?"

That got Jonathan's attention. He heard rumors of a new assistant for the boss coming in. But no one really had anything on what they look like. And most were wary to get near the topic of the last one.

"You mean that the strange man who looks like he could tear you apart with his glare alone?"

Eric nodded.

"Been the one who had to help him fix the copy machine this morning. Heard old Tom had to help him with the Database. Guess there was nothing he could do if he sent the newbie to you."

Jonathan winced.

"With those holes? Yeah, I'm not surprised that he had to send for my help. Though I am surprised that the new Sect would come and demand it being fixed himself."

The Tech Supporter sighed.

"The man is stubborn. And seems to be willing to do things on his own time when he could make others do it for him."

The blue haired man shrugged.

"I don't want to question it, really. Seeing that he man has a look of child and a mind of an elder. The guy is scary to say the least. Personally I can see why Boss would hire him. Seeing the council have been pecking at him lately. If the man is going to be only on the Boss' side then let him. That glare could scare anyone into silence."

Jonathan nodded as he shoved another fork-full of chow into his mouth. He remembered the glare from this morning. If Mr. Wayne had that backing him up, well the council would be either demanding that the secretary be gone or will be shutting up and listening to the boss.

Shuddering he smiled. Yeah, keeping on the guy's good graces. Got it.

"So did you notice anything about the Sect that is a bit odd?" Eric asked.

Jonathan shook his head.

"If you mean anything about the fact that he is scarier than some of the supervillains running around? No I haven't."

The man in front of him grinned.

"Well, I'll give you that. No, what I meant was have you seen his hands?"

The Network Security guard gained a look of confusion.

"I didn't really have time to make note of them. What about them?"

Eric's grin grew.

"He paints his nails."

Jonathan blinked.

"And? That is his choice."

The older man shook his head.

"He paints them black. A deep black. As in night sky with no stars in the country black. A bit freaky if you ask me."

Jonathan blinked. He did not know that such a color even existed in nail paints. Then again he did not know much on nail colors anyway.

"Well then. He must have a reason. Personally I think knocking a man down due to his sense of fashion is a bit different is stupid."

Eric grinned.

"Knew ya would say that. Anyway, off the topic of Scareville. Have you heard about Izzy's engagement?"

Brown eyes glanced over to the food line.

"No I haven't."

Green eyes grew mischievous.

"Heard the girls talking about it. Seems our little Izzy found a man four nights ago and suddenly got engaged. No one really knows where he came from nor who he is."

Jonathan narrowed his eyes at that. That did not sound like a good situation to fall into, especially in Gotham.

"Has anyone bothered to ask her about it?"

Eric shrugged.

"Yeah. I did. And a few others she hasn't been forthcoming with answers though."

The man glanced over at the woman.

"Personally, its seems fishy. Too fishy. Its making many worry over her and what can happen. Remember Lila?"

Jonathan nodded. He may have been new at the time but he remembered the blonde woman from customer service. She ended up dating a gang leader and was dead in a week.

"Well, most of the folk around here are worried about Izzy falling into the same trap."

Eric looked back at Jonathan.

"Care to help us keep an eye on the little lady?"

The brown eyed man smiled.

"You bet. Izzy's family here. I'll keep an eye on her."

Eric gained a huge grin.

"Thank god, kid. Now I have to run. See you."

Jonathan looked at his watch, before standing.

"I got to go as well. It was great talking to you, Eric. Hopefully you have a good day."

The man laughed as he walked off.

The brown haired man grinned before handling his tray and headed back up to his office.

Fifteen stories later and he was sitting before his computer screen again. Triple checking the firewalls and connections he sighed. Now that he knew about Izzy's situation he was on alert mode. Which meant he was restless.

Tapping his foot he tried to pull his mind away from the problems he was introduced to at lunch. However numbers were not holding his mind like they normally do. Thus he turned his mind over to the man he was briefly introduced to when he barged into his office.

Mr. Wayne's new secretary. By what he could recall from this morning he was a young man with long black hair which he had pulled back into two pigtails which were clasped together with a black ribbon at the base of his skull. He had deep black eyes which spoke of ages and could give such a glare it could have Batman halting. The man was also was clean pressed even in a frantic state, undoubtedly something the Boss appreciates if not made sure to have in his new sect.

Shaking his head Jonathan forced his mind away from the man before he lost focus on his work. Falling back into the realm of numbers he never noticed when someone entered the room until they cleared their throat.

Jumping the Network Security guard spun around before his gaze landed on the new sect of the company. Gulping he nodded.

"Sir. Um... is there something I can help you with?"

Black eyes looked amused before the pale man spoke.

"My thanks for this morning. And yes there is something I need you to do for me."

He walked tantalizing slow across the room. Jonathan swore that this man was a big cat in disguise. Brown eyes blinked as a flash drive was handed into his direction.

Taking it from the other man he met black eyes. They were no longer amused, but fierce and harsh.

"This drive holds the feed of last nights dilemma. Look it over and find away to help prevent it from happening again."

Jonathan nodded before grinning cheekfully and giving a salute. Once done he turned to his computer and put in the flash. Opening the files he noticed the man turn and walk out of the room. Glancing down at the man's hands he smiled.

Eric was right. The new sect had deep black nails.

As for what happened with the Boss' last secretary... it will be spoke of later. And for Klarion being Bruce's personal assistant at work, well let's just say 'keep your enemies close' is at play here. Though there is more under that, it will come up in the story itself so just wait.

Thanks!
