BATMAN BEYOND\DRACULA part 2 Creatures of the Night
Bits of cement flew up as Terry hit the pavement below.
He tried to pull himself up, but it was useless.
One arm was definately broaken and there was no doubt about his ribs.
He screamed in agony just as the girl from the room came out of the apartments.
Terry groaned.
Bruce wasn't going to like this, but he needed help.
He rolled his eyes an spoke, "Can't...get up."
The girl gripped his shoulder and pulled him up.
"Come on."
She helped him to the elevator and they went up.
"You're Terry McGinnis."
"Is it any use saying I'm his twin?"
The girl smiled.
"So how'd you know that?"
"I've seen you on TV with Bruce Wayne and at school."
"So I guess you'll be wanting to know how I'm Batman?"
"Actually I'll be wanting to find my first aid kit."
She helped him into her apartment and onto a couch.
"You hit hard. I'm surprised you aren't..."She trailed off.
"The suit has impact-plugs in it. It'd take more impact then that to kill me."
She looked at him.
"You...Why'd you save me?"
Terry looked at her.
Out of all the stupid questions she could have asked.
"Why... Because I didn't want you to get hurt."
"You almost died because of me."
He grinned and a trickle of blood dripped from his mouth.
"It's my job."
"Nice job."
She didn't sound sarcastic.
She walked into the next room to find her first aid kit.
She re-entered carrying an orange box.
"You risked it for me too.Dracula had to be out there still."
"We're even."
He smiled.
"Not quite."
"What?"
"You know who I am."
She raised an eyebrow.
"So what do you do about that? Kill me so I won't talk?"
This time she was sarcastic.
"No. I offer you some words a friend told me when I became Batman."
"What are those?"
Terry pulled himself up, whincing and held out his hand.
"Welcome to my world."
She looked at him.
A cross between fear and concern faded into a smile.
"Alright."
She shook the outsretched hand.
