Dear Maria,

Ay Dios mio you make me so scared. You need to pick up a martial arts class as soon as possible. Hell, ask Dick or Jason or even Bruce to teach you. And carry around pepper spray and a pocket knife with you at all times, I don't care what your school's weapon policy is.

You're not stupid though, Maria. You're young, you're naïve, and you want to see the good in everything. However you aren't stupid. I've known you too long to know whether or not you are stupid.

I also want you to know that what happened isn't your fault. You couldn't help being attacked. You were in a parking lot which you assumed was a safe place since it was on your campus.

Please, just because I want you to be safe, don't let any fear take over. You remember the first few months of my job and how difficult it was for me to see the horrors of this world. My reaction was the same reason I wanted you to see more good in life than the bad. I envy your optimism and I want you to keep it.

Now, as for this man, the one with his crazy eyes, send me a sketch and description of him. No if, ands, or buts, send me all the information you can remember about him. I'm currently looking into the human trafficking auctioning ring on a boat in and around Gotham despite being away. Once I find the men who took you, they are dead. And the guy with the look in his eyes, I'm going to break him slowly and make sure he feels every pop of his bones breaking. I'll keep him from passing out from the pain, and finally once he feels like he doesn't have the will to live anymore, I will kill him. Nobody is ever allowed to look at my sister like that and scare her. Nobody is allowed to do that to you and get away with it.

Anyway, please stay as safe as possible. I hope you spend more time with Jason and Stephanie, they both sound like they care about you and I feel better when you are in that hell of a city with another person who wants you to be safe. Not to mention I also would prefer it if you didn't walk around alone often.

I knew your description of Jason sounded familiar, he's Red Hood, right? I almost ran into him on several occasions. I've been told be some associates that we would either get along well or horribly.

Everything on my end has been normal. Well, as normal as my life can be. I am writing to you currently on a plane to California. I'll make sure to send you a souvenir. I know how much you like California. Maybe when life gets less hectic and you finish college I can take you there.

Please stay safe and be careful. I only nag like this because I love and care about you.

Love,

Genesis
