After the call from The Riddler, I finally started to take this job seriously. I ran out and bought a bunch of security webcams and set them up outside the building and along the barbed wire fence outside the property. I bought another phone to use for everyday use and I'll use my old phone for business only. For the icing on the cake, I set up a new lock on the fence that uses a swipe card. I have basically no money now, but it's worth it. Fingers flying across the keyboard, I finish connecting the webcams to my computer. I'm so engrossed in the computer I don't notice the front door open and a dark figure sneak in silently like a shadow.
"And…" I say, "Done!" The computer gives a beep and I smile as I lean back in my seat. Scooby suddenly pads into the room and barks before growling, hackles raised and teeth bared.
"What is it Scoob?" I ask, turning around in my seat. Before I can blink something grabs me by the collar and throws me across the room. I shake my head, slightly dazed, before I look up and gasp. The Batman. The Batman, is standing right in front of me, looking a little pissed. Holy crap that's terrifying. Scooby gives another growl and a bark before leaping forward towards Batman. The Dark Knight grabs Scooby by the throat before throwing him against the wall. Scooby gives a yelp, but doesn't get up. A look of shock passes over my face before it's quickly replaced with a sneer, and I rise to my feet.
"How dare you?" I spit, fists clenching. Batman's eyes narrow and he takes a step towards me. My arm snaps out involuntarily and Batman flies back, smashing against the wall with a grunt. I'm so angry I'm not even fascinated by the fact of what I've just done. I've practiced but the biggest thing I've ever moved with my…telekinesis…is a desktop computer. Never an actual person. I keep my arm raised and Batman stays pinned against the wall, as if kept there by some invisible force.
"Who are you?" Batman grunts.
"What are you doing here?" I retort, my glowing eyes narrowing. Batman glances around, obviously looking for a way to escape, but even I don't know if I can release him.
"The Riddler was going to kidnap Chief Lewis." Batman explains through gritted teeth, "He found out where Chief Lewis was going to be through an outside source." Putting two and two together, I pinch the bridge of my nose with my free hand.
"And you traced it back to me." I sigh, and Batman nods.
"Well that's just fucking great." I exclaim, taking my hand away from my nose, "Fucking brilliant!" Batman looks me up and down, now looking slightly puzzled.
"Who are you?" He repeats, and I sigh.
"Look, it doesn't matter, okay?" I sigh, "I'm just a contact. I give information for money, that's it, there's all there is to me."
"Obviously not." Batman replies, "You seem to have special abilities."
"Well done genius." I congratulate flatly. I lower my arm and Batman drops lightly to the floor, and he glances over himself before stepping towards me. My shoulders sag and I look down at the floor, my hair draping like a curtain over my face.
"I guess…" I sigh before looking up at Batman, "I guess it's kind of an honor to meet you, sort of." Scooby suddenly gets to his feet and I smile before hurrying towards him, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Are you alright bubba?" I ask him, and Scooby gives a quiet whimper before licking my face. I almost forget about the bat before I realize he's standing right behind me and I jump.
"Okay, okay." I say, getting to my feet, "Just slap the cuffs on and get it over with." I hold out my wrists before I realize that I'm being completely stupid. I have the power to pin Batman against a wall without touching him, and I'm giving up without a fight.
"On second thought…" I say before my hands burst into flame. Batman jumps back and I chuckle before running towards the door. I give a whistle and Scooby runs after me, and I burst through the door just before Batman can grab me.
