Robin and Sable were in a dress store, searching for a good disguise for the villains ball. Robin held up a dress and looked at Sable inquiringly, "What about this one?"
Sable scrunched up her face, "It's ugly."
He frowned, "That's what you said about all the others."
She crossed her arms, "All the others you picked out. Go to the suit store across the street and I will find a dress myself."
Robin was pushed out of the store, "Alright! Alright! I needed to get something anyway. Be careful though."
Sable nodded quickly and ran back into the store. She was looking through the dresses when she found a beautiful dress. It had a black strapless bodice and the bottom of the dress was a deep red with silver glitter patterns on it, "I have to try this on!" She went into the changing room and carefully pulled the dress on, examining herself, and then stepped out and quickly looked at the shoe and mask side of the store. Sable picked out a pair of black heels, which she had been introduced to by Robin earlier, and a pretty black mask that only covered her eyes and cheek with silver glittery patterns on it.
She looked into one of the mirrors, admiring herself, and almost freaked when someone walked up behind her and said, "You look good in that."
Sable looked at the man, he had a mask covering one side of his face, the other was handsome and tan, with a sparkly blue eye and brushed back blonde hair, "Thank you. But my brother told me not to talk to strangers. I'm new here."
The corner of the half of his mouth she could see tilted up, "You can't make friends if you don't talk to strangers."
Sable quickly scanned his thoughts, and, sensing no threats, smiled and held out her hand, "That's true. Call me Sable."
He bowed down and took her hand, kissing the top, "It's a pleasure, you can call me Harvey, Harvey Dent."
She blushed under her mask and quickly took her hand back, before turning around and looking at herself in the dress again, "I think I am going to get this one."
Harvey put an arm around her shoulders, "Hold on, there's a store full of dresses. Let me help you find a few more. Maybe there will be one you'll like more."
Sable couldn't help but agree as she was pulled towards the changing rooms and sat down on a bench. Harvey sat down next to her, "Are you seeing anyone?"
Sable blinked in confusion, "Uh, I see everyone."
Harvey chuckled, "I meant dating anyone."
She was about to answer when someone put their hand on her should and said, "I recommend you stop hitting on my daughter."
Harvey looked up in surprise, "Bruce. Long time no see. Since when do you have a kid?"
Sable looked up and her eyes widened as she recognized him, 'Batman?'
He nodded in her direction, "Sable, what did I tell you about talking to strangers?"
She looked at him sheepishly, "Not to."
Harvey stood, "Well, I'll see you around, Bruce, Sable." Harvey walked out of the store, waving to Sable as he left.
Sable looked at Batman, "Bruce?"
He sighed, "That was Two-Face."
She stood up in shock, "What?"
Bruce shushed her and walked up to the register, "Put them on my bill."
Sable went and change back into her regular clothes, which were actually Robins so they were a little too small, and handed everything to the lady behind the counter. Bruce led her out to a limo, where Robin sat waiting for them, and said, "The ball you are to attend is full of dangerous criminals, some that will do anything to discover a heroes identity. I would suggest not making yourself known. Sable, since you've already made yourself known to Two-Face, it makes it much easier for you to get close enough to find out what he's planning. I will be there, hidden of course, just in case either of you need me. I will need us to be mentally connected the entire time. Robin, make sure Two-Face doesn't try to leave with Sable."
Robin frowned, "What happened while I was gone?"
"Long story short, Two-Face happened to be there and flirted with Sable."
The younger males face screwed up in disgust, "She's sixteen!"
Sable looked at him, "I don't understand, why did you yell my age?"
Bruce sighed, "It is inappropriate for a male of his age to go after a female of yours."
She blinked, "Oh. Why?"
"It's gross!" Robin shouted, "A man can take advantage of a girl your age!"
The shape-shifter narrowed her eyes, "Are you saying I'm not intelligent enough to deal with someone myself?"
Robin quickly responded, "No, no! That's not what I meant!"
"You just thought yes."
'Oops, forgot about that.' Robin thought, before chuckling fearfully.
Sable growled and crossed her arms, "What is it with boys and thinking I can't do anything?" Bruce looked out the window, quickly emptying his thoughts. Robin squirmed in his seat as Sable continued her rant, "The male species always seems to feel the need to put down the females! They need to feel like the dominant ones!"
Robin laughed sheepishly, "Sorry?"
The limo pulled up to the hotel and Sable transformed into her kitten form, hiding in the shopping bags, 'You really need to control your thoughts around a mind reader.'
Bruce chuckled as the door closed, shaking his head, 'It's true Robin.'
The youngest sighed and walked up to the room, dejectedly calling for room service once there.
I apologize for the long wait and the crappy quality of this chapter, I got my computer back! NO MORE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! Reviews make me smile.3
