"Did you hear, Mr. Wayne? I said I'm a mutant." Impatiently crossing her arms across her chest, she asked Bruce as he just sat there processing what she had told him.

"You're a mutant?"

"Yes. So is my father, my mother and just about everyone at the school. We teach kids how to use their powers properly so they can live with normal people or stay on and teach the next generation to handle their abilities. Marie was a mutant, but she took 'the cure' from Worthington Labs about five years ago. That's when I first meet her and my father"

"What exactly are your abilities, Miss Mai? Alfred asked intrigued.

"I have a healing factor. Every time I get hurt, the injury heals almost instantly. That's why I wasn't hurt when I fell from the tree yesterday" turning to Bruce "I also animal powers. I have an acute sense of hearing and smell. I can speak to animals and shape shift into any animal." She explained leaving out the fact she had an indestructible skeleton and claws that came out of both hands. She figured just telling them about her animal side and healing factor was enough for now.

"Could you please demonstrate for us?" Bruce finally spoke

"Sure." Crouching down, she turned into a Doberman Pincher and walked over to the men on the couch.

"Outstanding." Alfred pet her on the head and smiled. The dog that was Mai looked at Bruce and then turned back.

"You said both your parents were mutants?"

"The mutant gene is passed through the father. That's where I got the healing and animal senses from."

"The school was run by Professor Charles Xavier. He passed away six months before I arrived at the school. Its now run by Ororo Munroe, aka Storm; who has the ability to control the weather." Mai was explaining the school with a power point on Rogue's laptop. "Next we have, Bobby Drake or Iceman. He can freeze just about anything. He's also Rogue's fiancé." Clicking to the next photo, Peter. "Peter Rasputin, native to Russia but now a U.S. citizen. When danger is near, his whole body is cover in some kind of armor. He also has unbelievable strength. Kitty Pride, can phase through walls." The presentation continues until she stopped at the only photo of two mutants together: her father and her. "My father, Logan. Well, you already know about his powers, but what you don't know is that was a metal called adamantium surgically grafted through his entire skeleton, as do I. Adamantium is supposedly indestructible."

She turned to the men still seated on the couch. "Any questions?"

"So, you and your father can never die?"

"We're had a few close calls, but as far as we know, yes we can't die."

"The procedure you and your father had to endure, is it…?"

"Painful. Try to imagine a thousand needles piercing you in one place at once and them put them all over your body. Now my skeleton" turning to a slide of her skeleton "as you can see has a lesser grade then my dad's. Its so I can change, but also not break when I'm in a animal form."

Mai's POV:

I heard a faint sound outside, sick laughter. "You boys got a panic room around here?"

"Yes, Miss."

"Then I strongly suggest you get into it and call the police." I walked out of Wayne's office and sniffed three times. I smelled grease paint and gun powder. I moved into the shadows as five or six armed men and one woman came in. One had slicked back green hair and purple trench coat over matching pants. The woman was in orange and black checkered jesters out fit. The others were in all black and wore clown masks.

I slowly unleash my claws, wincing as the blades slowly exit my skin and stalk over to where I'm directly over the people. Jumping up on the railing, I let a roar and jump off . The two henchmen that looked up were the first to die. The others order each other to fire at me, but I'm too quick. Running I jump and turn into a large tiger and maul one. I feel bullets piercing my fur, but adrenaline keeps me fighting till all that's left is the clown and jester.

Normal POV:

Joker watched as his men were killed in seconds. The girl jumped off a second story balcony and stabbed the two as she landed. Three metal knifes stuck out of each hand then she turned into a large tiger. Nothing seemed to stop her, not the bullets they had been able to shoot before meeting their end.

Mai was turning back to her human form when the women dressed as a jester walked right up to her and stabbed her in the side with a large serrated knife. Mai dazed, looked at the blade now stuck in her side. Wanting them to think it was killing her she fell to her knees and looked up at them, fear of dying in her eyes. As trail of blood be blood left her mouth, she gave scary smile and pulled the knife out. However part of it broke off and as she healed, it was stuck inside.

"You shouldn't have done that." Flying to her feet she charged at the clown man, but he kicked her with force that flew her backwards, right into a concrete pillar. Thank god for adamantium bones. Slightly stunned, she shook it off and tried again to get the villains.

Harleywas impressed by the girl's integrity. The girl threw her arms out and the claws came back out. Barring her teeth, she ran at full speed at the two. Harley grabbed her neck.

Mai looked in shock. She caught me?! Next thing she knew she was being thrown out a large window. Mai laid there in pain. For once, she couldn't move. All the fighting and constant healing had taken too much out of her. So she passed out.

Bruce had taken Mai's advice and went to the panic room with Alfred and watched the fight on the monitors. The men watched speechlessly as she cut the intruders down in seconds. Taking out the first two with claws that stuck out of her hand. It wasn't till her fight with Joker and his partner did the invincible girl seem to falter. It wasn't till after being thrown out of the window head first, did she finally stop.

Mai heard the sirens as she also heard ".HA. Good throw sweetie."

"Thanks Mr. J." Harley gushed

"Lets see if we can take those knifes from her." He stepped on her hand, hard and it triggered the blades to shoot out of her hand.

"Ahhh!" Mai screamed as the two pulled at the claws, attempting to pry them out her.

Thankfully the approaching sirens caused them to stop.

"Lets go. We'll get them later. But lets see if she can survive this." With that Joker pulled a gun out of his coat and shot Mai, point blank in the head.

Bruce watch in anger as Mai was executed. He ran out of the panic room as the police rounded the corner to enter the drive way. He got to her as they almost pulled up. He pulled her into his arms and check a pulse. He heard a gasp and felt her hand grip his wrist.

"You ok?"

"Just a head ache. Oh, thank the mother for crazy scientists and them giving me a adamantium skull. Can you help me up, please? I'm still recovering."

"Mr. Wayne happened here?"

"That Joker guy broke in, so my butler and I ran to the panic room, along with my friend here." Bruce was holding Mai, who was still recovering, against his shoulder.

"Are you ok, ma'am?"

"I'm fine. Just an adrenaline rush, makes me a dizzy at times." She was glad Bruce had grabbed his coat and wrapped it around her before being questioned. She didn't want to explain why she had blood all over her shirt, especially since most wasn't hers.

Mai sat on the corner of the tub as she felt around her side, trying to find the price of knife that broken off and healed inside her.

"Need some help?" Looking up she saw Bruce in the doorway.

"Yeah, that would be great. I just need to use the scalpel there and slice open my side. When I was pulling that knife out of me, a chuck of the tip broke off and it healed inside me." She watched as he slipped some surgical gloves and picked up the blade.

"You ready?"

"Just do it quick, please Mr. Wayne."

"Bruce." He slowly sliced at her skin and saw the blade tip. He carefully slipped his forefinger and thumb inside her and pulled it out. Once it was out, he watched in wonder as the wound healed.

"Whoa."

"Um… thanks for the help." She awkwardly got up and let the bathroom. She slipped on a black hoodie and went to the balcony doors. Bruce came out the bathroom and watched as she jumped off the balcony and landed on her feet.

Once her feet hit the ground she ran off. Moving through the trees, she felt like she was home again. She was one with nature again, using only the moon and stars to guide her. She leapt into the air and changed into a hawk. She flew toward the lights of Gotham city. She landed on the roof of Wayne Enterprises, still in bird form she looked at the city below and then dived into a dark alley and changed back. She lifted the hood onto her head and put her hands in her pockets, opening a her senses to the world around her.

A few feet behind her she could smell the alcohol on their breaths and hear their hushed snickering.

"Well, look what we have here, Tommy." One drunk with shaggy black hair chuckled.

"I see her, Ed. She's a cutie." He had a shaved head and a bad goatee

"Look here bubs, you DON'T want to mess with me." She threatened, clenching her fists, but didn't unleashed the claws. But it didn't work they still came toward her and backed her in a corner.

"What cha gonna do now, sweet thing?" One called Ed placed his arms on either side of her, trapping her against the brick.

"This" and gave a swift kick to his groin and when he was holding his sore balls, she round housed kicked him the head, her hood fell off in the process.

"Your dead girl!" Ed's friend flicked open a switchblade ran toward her, but she grabbed his wrist and snapped it, letting the blade fall out of his hand. The man screamed as he grabbed his broken wrist.

"Told ya not to mess with me." She told the two sore men as she put her hood back on her head and walked into the darkness.

Batman watched as she took down the armed men. He wasn't surprised, he had seen her fight the Joker and his cronies earlier , and they were armed with guns. Of course, she was also thrown against a pillar, launched through a window, and finally shot point blank in the head. He followed her on the roof tops, but was interrupted by a mugging. He may be public enemy number 1 in Gotham, but he still wanted to help the city.

"Lovely weather, isn't Mr. Wayne?" She didn't turn around. Standing on a ledge of a skyscraper. The rain was almost blinding. Her sweatshirt clung to her, showing off her figure.

"How did you know?" He answered in his normal voice.

"You really need to wash off that cologne before putting that suit on. I could smell it a mile away."

She turned and walked toward him. She looked at his up and down in his armor. With out warning, she moved to punch him, but he caught her fist.. He did the same when she moved to kick him, then he vaulted her over his shoulder, underestimating where the edge was and threw her over the edge. He heard what sound like knives slicing through brick. Looking over the side, she hung there, three claws embedded in the building. "Care to give a hand?"

Hoisting her back to the roof he watched the weapons go back into her.

"Do they..?"

"Hurt? Like a mother every time. Before the procedure, they were bone. I got them the day my mother was murdered." She had this far off look in her eyes.

"She was murdered?"

"A pupil of my dad's enemy found out about my healing factor and he wanted revenge on my family. A team went to my house while I was in school and gunned my mother down on our front lawn."

"That horrible."

"It gets worse. When she was shot, I was climbing the rope in gym. It felt like someone slammed a knife into my chest and turned the blade. I fell and landed hard on the mat. Ignoring everyone, including the concerns of my best friends, I ran all the way home and found her dead. I was trying to heal her, when the same guys try to grab me. When I punched one of them in the chest, the claws came out and I used them to kill them all. I took on about half a dozen men by myself when I was 15. Don't really remember much after that. The sheriff, who just happens to be one of my buds dad, found me lying next to my mother with a fricking huge dart in my neck."

"Well that's enough of the spilling of the guts. I'm gonna head back. Do me a favor?" She went back to the ledge and looked at him as she put her soaked hood on her sopping wet hair.

"What?"

"For your own safety, don't come charging into my room if you hear screaming. I'd hate to explain how I killed Bruce Wayne and then brought him back from the dead." With that she stepped off the ledge, turned into an owl and flew away.

That's chapter 3. Hope you liked it!
