"I have a very strong feeling that I will regret this," Lucius said as he and Adriana entered a freight elevator in Wayne Enterprises.

"Don't worry I can handle it," Adriana said, even though she was totally unsure of herself.

Lucius turned and gave her a doubtful look as the elevator doors opened. After they left the elevator Adriana saw what appeared to be an enormous storage facility. A very spacious area which seemed to be a basement with high walls, and random things everywhere. There were several boxes and cases that were stacked in every corner. Several rows of servers on the left side of the enormous room caught Adriana's attention. Everything looked like it could possibly be just junk but she could see lights flickering from the aisles of servers.

"Right this way," Lucius said.

He let her over to a stack of black cases and started to press buttons that unlocked one that was on the top.

"What is this place?" Adriana asked but she could see Lucius' thoughts. There was an enormous amount of weaponry stored in this area. The cases were not strewn around haphazardly. Everything was incredibly organized.

"Storage," Lucius answered plainly.

He opened the case in front of him and Adriana looked into it. Her breath was taken away by the material of the suit. The first thing that came to mind was that she could not even really tell what color it was. It seemed to be a merger of dark, very dark blue, and black but at times she felt she could see flickers of purple and possibly red.

"Wow, what material is this?" Adriana asked.

"Well, to be honest it does not have a name yet," Lucius answered. "This material was just invented. Frankly, I was quite happy to have something to make just to try it out. I was considering making something for Bruce with it... possibly redoing his entire suit or at least parts of it. But he is not fond of the appearance of this material."

"Well, it little.." Adriana searched for the words. "Feminine."

"It's entirely bulletproof," Lucius said.

"Really?" Adriana reached into the case and touched the suit. "It feels smooth and soft."

"Not if you hit it hard enough," Lucius said. "Try it."

"Really?" Adriana asked and Lucius nodded.

She lightly slapped the material and it still felt soft. Lucius let out a small chuckle, so she went with her fist and felt it solidify under her knuckles.

"Ow!" she said and held her hand. "You should have warned me that really hurt."

"And it will really hurt anyone who tries to hit you, of course. You would feel the impact of bullets the same as with any bullet proof vest so if you are shot at it will hurt. The only downside to this material is that is does not protect against knives or blades."

"That's okay. I'm good at disarming anyone holding a knife for blade. I've been practicing a lot with Bruce."

"That's great," Lucius said not sounding entirely convinced.

"Who invented this material," Adriana asked.

"I did," Lucius said in response. "The combination of the different materials that I had to use are what is giving this suit this appearance with the coloring. I hope you do not mind."

"No, it's beautiful. Looks like something from the future. Can I try it on?"

"Here?" Lucius asked. "I suppose. There's a mirror here somewhere, I will look for it."

"Ok, I'll change over there," Adriana picked up the incredibly lightweight suit and walked in between the tall rows of servers, extremely excited to try on the outfit.

She took off her clothes very quickly and held up the suit. There were no zippers or anything to show her how to get into it. She considered asking Lucius for help but then saw that if she pulled hard enough that the front opened a few inches and she could step into it. Getting the suit onto her body was incredibly easy. It seems like the suit was designed to be put on in less than 10 seconds. It molded and stretched over her figure very easily. Once the suit was on she pressed the small opening in the chest area together and it sealed perfectly and effortlessly. She imagined she would feel nearly barefoot on the ground where the stretchy black boots that felt almost as thin and lightweight as pantyhose were on, but the base of them felt solid and secure.

After the suit was on she wondered what it would look like in front of the mirror. She looked down at her body and was amazed. But at the same time incredibly nervous. It did not look like her. The suit was alien and foreign, it literally looked like something from another planet. There were slightly firmer plates that she could feel inside of a suit around her abdomen. And one of the wrists had material at the end felt a bit heavier than the other. As she looked down at her figure, the curving color shifting dark material over her legs and down to her feet, suddenly she felt out of place. She felt silly for getting herself into the situation. There was no way that she could be a vigilante, feeling this self-conscious. The suit was absolutely amazing and felt like it was meant to be worn by someone serious, powerful, and confident. Could she be all of those things?

She walked from behind the servers and over to Lucius and looked into the tall mirror with wheels that he had found.

"It fits perfectly.." she said. "Gosh..my waist looks so small. This suit is very flattering."

"Well, your waist is small. I had to guess all of your measurements, I'm glad they seem to be correct."

"I still can't believe you put it together this quickly."

"Here," Lucius handed her a mask. It was made of the same material as her suit. It was very simple and covered the middle half of her face, leaving her hair free.

"So..does it just stick to my face?"

"Yes," he answered and placed it on for her. "Look." He took her by the shoulders gently and faced her towards the mirror again.

"Wow.." Adriana felt entirely different with a mask on. She now felt a surge of confidence. It was amazing, she had never felt so powerful. Almost pompous. She wanted to go out right now and fight bad guys and haul them off to prison. "Lucius I can't thank you enough."

"You are welcome. One of the wrists of your suit has a communication device. Here," he held her right wrist. "If you hold it up to your face and pinch here, you can send me a message. It has to be ten seconds or less. Sorry that's the best I could do."

"Oh, that's awesome!"

"You need to contact me if you ever need help," Lucius said.

"I will," Adriana said and looked back into the mirror, stunned at the amazing suit but so self assured.

"So..Club Core.." Lucius said and walked over to the cases again.

"Yeah..I want to go tonight," she said.

"Maybe you should wait until tomorrow," Lucius offered.

"Why?" Adriana asked.

"It's Halloween" Lucius gestured to the suit. "Might be easier to get in through the front door with such a disguise."

"Oh, right," Adriana said as Lucius seemed to be putting attachments onto the suit.

"Just a few weapons," he said. "Primarily blades. Bruce has similar ones, in the shape of a bat. Yours will be round. I will give you extras."

"Do we know anything else about Club Core?"

"Not much, other than drug trade. We can go over the blueprints. There was also evidence that a large safe was installed into one of the rooms eight months ago, probably an office. Highly secure. Not anything you need to be worried about though. You will go just to observe thoughts and defend yourself only if necessary."

"Right," Adriana agreed.
