A/N: This was written for the tth100. The only linking thing for these is Faith in them.
Summary: Faith decides to stay and help.
People murmured in confusion when Faith entered with Bruce. She almost laughed from the look on Jeremy's face. They mingled, with Bruce introducing her around, but excused himself to talk to an older black gentleman. Faith caught sight of the man she'd fought with earlier, but lost him in the crowd by the time Bruce returned.
"Bruce, you must meet this delightful young man. What's your name again? Rhys?"
"Ra's al Ghul," Bruce said, and Faith felt his arm bunch. "You're dead."
"Maybe, but I have always told you that misdirection is key," said a voice behind them.
She spun around, her hand going for her knife, but Ra's held up his hand.
"This is not your fight, but something between myself and Mr. Wayne."

After Bruce cleared the partygoers out, Faith caught sight of henchmen. "Can't do your dirty work all on your own? Have to have minions do it for you?" she taunted.
"Delightful lady you've met," Ra's commented.
Bruce glanced over. "He's right. This is between me and him; my faith in people versus his lack thereof."
Faith thought about it. "Fine," she bit out.
With a nod from Ra's, one of the men followed her.
