I don't own Batman
Enjoy
Bruce decided to home school Alice and hired the best tutors in the country and a famous science professor from England. After her "classes" she spends most of her time reading and sitting in the garden. Dick and her became fast friends despite her quiet nature and the fact that she behaves like a 30-year-old rather than a 9-year-old. Bruce and her spent almost every day drinking tea and talking in a sunny room on the west wing.
At the garden on a warm afternoon, Dick and Alice went to the beach that was a small walk from the garden. They sat together in total silence on the beach, they Dick decided to strike up a conversation.
"So Alice…why do you like the most about reading?"
"It makes me forget that I'm Alice and I'm instead a hero or just another person."
Dick looked confused, "But why would you not like yourself, you're so smart and pretty. You like in a wonderful home and Bruce treats you well."
"It not my lifestyle Dick…it's me that I hate…I want to show you something." Alice took out a small necklace with an amulet on it. The amulet was a dark purple with the picture of a large raven on the back. "They would this around my neck when the police found me. I can't stand myself because for some reason…my own family didn't want me."
A FEW WEEKS LATER
Alfred noticed something very strange one day while he went into the garden to pick roses to put into the dining room. Near the pond Alice stood very still and remained very quiet. Suddenly around her small flames floated around her. They spun around until the disappeared in a flash. Alfred didn't know what to think of it. Magic perhaps or a strange sort of illusion? While Bruce and Alice were drinking tea, he brought up the issue.
"Alice…Alfred saw you out in the garden yesterday. Flames were floating around you."
Alice put down her tea cup and looked up at him with those strange green eyes.
"Since I was little, things like that have happened, they are reoccurring more frequently and I'm training myself to control it. When my parents saw me do it once, they were so frightened. They called me a demon and a freak. So far I seem to be able to conquer fire at will. It's strange but also fascinating."
Bruce looked at her questioning himself on what to do. He then decided to call and old friend, Zatanna a powerful sorceress.
