"What are you doing?"
Gearhead turned around to see Catgirl standing there. What was he doing? He had broken into Wayne Industries and was now stealing one of their most valuable projects they possessed. To achieve this opportunity, he had been watching the progress of various projects in the company. This one attracted his attention and it was only a matter of mustering his virtuosic knowledge of technology for him to get inside and take what he wished. He had done it before. Catgirl must be here because... well, because... He turned back to computer and continued extracting the information he needed.
"Oh,", started Gearhead, "I am stealing from one of the most wealthiest companies in the country. It is practically charity.". Catgirl smiled,
"And how is that?"
"Well, I may even share some of the profit with you if you stop asking me questions."
"That sounds fine to me."
Gearhead wanted to know why she was here in the first place. She already started opening drawers by the desks. Why didn't she just go to the estate of some rich couple?
"Catgirl, why are you here?"
"I know that my stage is typically that of a cat burglar. Maybe, I'm here because you are here. You are a big time criminal and I want to be one as well."
Gearhead was laughing at this point. She didn't understand what was so funny. Maybe nothing. Gearhead settled down and considered things, saying, "Why me? Why not another great criminal? Don't you already have a mentor. You certainly went through a lot to meet with me here. This place isn't easy to get into."
"Well, you don't intimidate me as much as the others. My teacher is great, but you do all the cool stuff.", she said, "I wanted to impress you by meeting you here. You were hard to find and you seemed to disappear for a while."
Gearhead seemed impressed. "All of this sounds fine to me.", he said, "If you would like, you can study with me. One month under me and the grandeur schemes are within your reach."
Catgirl was beaming. She couldn't wait start learning it all. The technology. The gadgets. Gearhead observed her excitement, "Don't get too excited. You will need to maintain and wash my car."
He began transferring the Ambrosia files onto his hard drive. Oddly, much of the design of the project resembled Ancient Egypt and its mythology. Catgirl looked at her phone.
"It's been ten minutes already.", she said, "Shouldn't we be going? Surely, someone will be noticing us soon."
"As soon as this is done. It's done.", he started to leave.
"Here.", she said, handing him a piece of paper, "Let me know when I can start. That's my number."
"You might not hear from me for a while. We'll see what happens."
Once they were outside of the building, they parted ways. Gearhead got in his car and was reaching for the shift stick when he saw a car approaching irregularly fast. Once it was closer, he could see that it was the Batmobile. Grinning, Gearhead stepped on the gas pedal. There would be no contest. Really, the Batmobile never came close to Gearhead's car. A short chase took place. Batman tried shooting at Gearhead with a handgun, but it didn't seem to do anything. The Batman was out of sight not soon after.
