"So you said you've worked with technology before?" asked Lucius as Josephine followed him down the hall.

"Yes. You see, I was the child who would go on vacations armed to the teeth with hand held game systems and music players. I was the technology wiz in the family, or so my siblings liked to call me" said Josephine with a small smile.

"Sounds fascinating" said Lucius as she entered the office after him.

Needless to say, Josephine had been rather surprised by Bruce Wayne's insistence that she start her trial period today. Though she wasn't complaining, it had seemed a bit sudden. Lucius had assured her that it was simply because Bruce didn't want to waste any time on an employee who couldn't work.

Before her was a room filled with computers, monitors, network towers, and plenty of wires. Josephine's eyes widened as she took in the sight of the room. It was the place where computers went to die. In her head she had dubbed it the Technology Graveyard and her heart pained to see so many computers just left to collect dust.

"Mr. Wayne left all these computers just sitting here?" asked Josephine, not believing what she saw before her.

"Well he did try to get them fixed, however every time he did it seemed as if a higher power did not want him to fix the computers" Lucius joked.

Josephine gave him a wary glance before rushing over to a computer that was covered with what seemed like two decades worth of dust. Wiping her hand across it, she fought back a gag before looking at Lucius.

"Can I bother you for some cleaning supplies? I cannot work in this room with it the way it currently is" she said gently.

"Of course" said Lucius as he walked a few steps down the hall to another door before returning.

Josephine was pleased to see that he had grabbed a soft cloth and cleaning spray that wouldn't be harsh on electronics. With a tiny saddened chuckle, she recalled all the years she had cleaned her family's house.

'Mom would be proud' she thought as she began to bustle about the room.

When what felt like an eternity passed by, Josephine stood in the center of a dustless room that seemed to sparkle with the light of the sun that peered through the windows. It had certainly been an improvement to the way it had looked before. Doing a quick scan, Josephine saw a stack of motherboards lying next to hard drives and video cards before noticing the towers.

A lightbulb clicked on in her head as she grabbed a monitor and a tower before grabbing a screwdriver , popping off the side of the tower to look inside. Josephine was delighted to see that it was empty and enabled her to start from scratch. Grabbing a motherboard, she screwed it onto the standoffs, which held the motherboard in place. Reaching over, she began to connect the power connectors to the motherboard from the power source. Beside her on a piece of foam was a processor which she had gently placed onto the motherboard.

Glancing about the room, Josephine looked to see if she could see any CPU coolers about or any thermal jelly to place the cooler into the computer. With an exasperated sigh, she began to dig about the room once more. After twenty minutes of searching, she had managed to find Arctic Silver thermal jelly and a CPU cooler. She sat back down and gently applied the jelly onto the CPU cooler before mounting the cooler over the processor. Josephine looked at the stack of RAM cards that she had found and looked at the computer she had been working on. With a concentrated look, she picked up the cards and looked through them, making sure that each of them worked with the computer. After finding about four out of the stack of fifteen, she put them into the slots on the motherboard.

After inserting the hard drive, Josephine closed up the tower and connected the wires to the wall and to the monitor before starting it up. When the screen lit up to life, Josephine jumped up and grinned as she glanced at the clock. With wide eyes she had realized that she had only been working for four hours. Her interview had been at 9 this morning and now it was only 1 in the afternoon.

She looked around the room once more and saw program disks which she promptly began to install before collecting all the items that were scattered about and placing them in plastic boxes she found. After all the programs were installed, Josephine gave the room another glance over and was pleased to see that she could see the floor now. Everything had been placed in their rightful places and Josephine had even found a computer chair hidden under a mountain of wires.

Sitting at the computer, she downloaded a music program and filled the silence of the room with music as she sat there in peace. It wasn't until a knock on the door cut through her music did she realize someone was watching her.

"Ms. Winchester?" questioned Bruce as he looked at the young woman with an amused look on his face.

Josephine jumped out of her chair and quickly shut off her music before straightening out her suit, her cheeks painted red in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wayne! I was just done with cleaning this room and I didn't know what else to do!" she said quickly, hoping she hadn't angered her "boss" just yet.

To her relief he simply chuckled and smiled warmly at her.

"Actually, I like what you did with this room. It was just a cluttered mess before, I'm glad you managed to get that straightened out" he said, his tone light and joking.

Josephine simply smiled shyly at his words. What else was she to say to him?

"Did you build this?" Bruce asked as he strode over to the computer she had just been on.

"Yes. I've been working on it since I finished cleaning the Technology Graveyard" she said.

Bruce stared at her with a raised eyebrow and she flushed again in embarrassment.

"At least that's what I called it in my head" she muttered quickly.

"It was a fitting name, trust me" he said with a laugh as he looked over the computer.

It was very well built, obviously done by someone who knew what they were doing. Bruce had watched her work on it with Lucius back in his office. There was a camera installed in the furthest corner in the room hidden in the shadows. He watched as she scoured the room for the parts, knew the types of parts she need and where to put them. He had tested her to prove that she knew what she was talking about and he was impressed to say she passed.

"This is very well built. You said you've been building computers since you were seventeen?" asked Bruce.

"That's correct Mr. Wayne. As I stated in the interview, my uncle had me learn how to put together computers. He told me it would be more reliable that way, rather than all the store bought computers" she said.

Bruce nodded and scanned the computer over once more. He briefly wondered what other things she could do with technology. Lucius had been just as impressed and asked if, when she had become comfortable within the company, they could use her insight to help with gadgets for Batman. Bruce had agreed, as that was what they were hiring to do in the first place. But Bruce had told Lucius she would need to work her way up to that point, he couldn't risk her opening her mouth to the press about his double life as the Dark Knight. He knew she would be smart enough to put two and two together.

"Well, this is all the proof I needed" said Bruce as he headed for the door.

"Excuse me sir?" asked Josephine.

"Your trial period. I had you work in this room for a reason. Lucius and myself monitored your work day, watching as you built this computer. How exactly did you know what parts to use? Have you built this type of model before?" asked Bruce.

Josephine shifted from one foot to the other, a nervous habit of hers as she met Bruce's gaze.

"For as long as I can remember, I've had really good memory. I had these types of computers back at Gotham University. One time in my Computers class we took one apart and looked inside. Ever since then I remembered what the parts looked like, what their names were, and how they fit together" Josephine explained.

Bruce nodded simply before walking out the door.

"You are hired Ms. Winchester" were his parting words.

Josephine couldn't believe her luck. Just the other day she had been sitting at home working on her resume, hoping that somewhere out in the city of Gotham she would be hired. She had begun to lose hope when no one would hire her. Her uncle had tried to tell her that it was alright and that she could stay with him as long as necessary, but she felt bad. She lived with him for seven years and now at the age of 24, she needed to move on with her life.

And she had proved herself to Bruce Wayne, proved that her abilities weren't a lie, and that had gotten her a job at Wayne Enterprises.

But she couldn't help but feel that Bruce's hasty decision to hire her was based on his relationship with her uncle.

Josephine sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She would have to work as hard as possible to maintain the high expectations of her. She owed her uncle that much.
