I only own MJ!
"I AM Batman!"-Terry McGinnis
Chapter 8
"Ok, someone stole non toxic chemicals from the science museum why?" Terry asked. We'd just recieved news that there was an odd break in at The History of Science.
"Sounds familiar, Bruce, do you think-" I was cut off when Bruce said,"Not possible, Ivy died a long time ago." He said, turning to the monitor. "Well, what if there's a new Poison Ivy." I suggested.
He kept silent. Sighing, I walked up the stairs,"I'm going out, let me know if something comes up." The two bats nodded.
I had my black coat on and shoved my hands in the pockets as I walked the streets of Gotham. Walking into a little cafe', I saw a pretty girl trying to balance cups on a tray. She had long red hair that was wavy and green eyes. She looked like a supermodel because of her height. I noticed two blondes with lime green eyes snickering and giggling at her behind the counter. The tall girl tripped a little and lost her balance.
I moved quickly and caught the tray before it fell,"S-sorry," the red head said sheepishly. "S'okay."I muttered, placing the tray on the counters, catching the glare of the blonde-headed brats. I gave a harsh glare topping with a cold smile. They squeaked before turning away.
"Um..can I offer you some jasmine tea? I just brewed some earlier." The girl asked. I nodded, "That'd be great, thanks." "My name's Rose. Rose Cloves." Rose introduced herself,"MJ." I shook hands with her.
"MJ, have I seen you before? Do you go to Hill High?" I nodded,"Just started two months ago, you?" "I'm a freshmen." She answered. My eyes widened,"But, you look like you're in college!" I said, incrediously.
"Yeah, a lot of people mistake me for being older, because of my height." She explained. Rose went behind the counter and poured some tea in a cup,"Would you like something else?" she asked,"Um, a sugar scone if you got one." I said, smiling slightly.
"There." She placed a plate in front of me. I reached for my wallet but she shook her head,"On the house."
I raised an eyebrow,"But-" "I insist." she said, cutting me off. I smiled,"Care to join me? I could use the company." I said, she gave me a smile.
"If you don't mind me asking, but, what's with the two blondies? I mean why are they so mean to you?" I asked,"Oh, you mean Karin and Katrina?" she asked,"I think they have problems at home, so they take it out on everyone but themselves." I frowned,"Still, you're one of the nicest people I've met, why do they bug you?"
"I'm their neighbor, and their only other friend, so I guess they try to rely on me for stability. It's like they do it to sort out the problems they have."
I frowned,"That's a weird way to show friendship." I stated. "Do you have any hobbies?" I nodded,"I, uh, take gymnastics." I said. 'Not a total lie.' "And karate."
"Oh, that sounds exciting." She smiled,"What about you?" "Oh, I like to garden." "Any particular plant you like?" I asked. She blushed,"I like Roses." I smiled,"So do I."
My phone rang,"Oh, excuse me," I answered it,"Hello?" "MJ. It's Terry, Bruce says he found something on the break in." "Ok, Ter, I'm on my way." I turned back to Rose,"Sorry, Rose, I've gotta go. My godfather needs me to run a few errands." I waved goodbye,"I'll see you at school,"she smiled.
"What's up?" I asked, coming down the stairs of the batcave."We have a lead." Bruce explained. I raised my eyebrow,"And?" "We found some rose petals on the ground of the break in."
'Rose petals?' I thought as my eyes widened.
'I love to garden. I like roses.' Those were the things Rose had said.
Could it be that my new friend...was Poison Ivy?
