"So," asked Terry McGinnis. "Who are we seeing again?" He looked in the rear view mirror but all he received was a passing glance from Bruce.
"To see an old friend," answered Bruce. "Just drive to the address I gave you."
"Can do," Terry replied. Gotham City. It wasn't one of the best places in the world. It was no match for Metropolis, but it had its advantages. 'Being dark half the time,' Terry thought, 'was one of those advantages. Just gives me more camouflage at night.'
Terry had been working with Bruce Wayne for about four months now. His life was getting better, except for the occasional weirdo that he encountered while patrolling. His mom was happy that he had a steady job. 'If only she knew...' He was even starting to get over the fact that it wasn't his fault that his dad had gotten murdered, but probably being the Dark Knight lessened the pressure.
A few days before, Wayne had told him that he was going to visit an old friend and Terry would be going with him, because of course that was his job, during the day anyway.
'I wonder what this guy is going to be like,' Terry thought while driving. 'Probably some old C.E.O of the company... 2nd Rebirth I think is what it was called.'
The car ride was silent the whole time, but that wasn't anything new. They had finally reached the build. It was white, which was weird for Gotham standards. It had a statue in the front of an angel holding a child in the front.
"I guess," Terry said while parking the car, "This is the place. How long do you think I should wait? Huh? Wayne..?"
Wayne had already stepped out of the car and Terry followed suit. "You're coming with me."
Terry shrugged and followed Wayne inside of the build. Once inside, a young woman wearing a white nurse's uniform greeted Wayne and Terry. "Hello Mr. Wayne. Mr. Penit is waiting for you. He is on the 4th floor, room 4B. Anything else I can do for you?"
"No, but thanks," Wayne answered to the nurse. He and Terry walked to the elevator.
"Is your friend sick or something?" Terry asked. "This is really starting to look like a hospital."
"No. And no this isn't a hospital."
"Okay." This place looked like a hospital, but it seemed really high tech to Terry. 'Maybe it is just because I haven't been in a hospital lately.'
When they got off they elevator, they walked down a white hallway. "What is it with these people and white?" Terry asked.
"Some people find it comforting," Wayne replied.
"And how would you know Mr. I-am-obsessed-with-black."
Wayne just smiled back at Terry with one of his rare smiles. They finally reached room 4B. Terry opened the door and went in first. The room was huge. It was a giant lab. Wayne walked around him and over to a man in a white coat.
Terry was still looking around the room when he noticed a large, circular tank in the middle of the room. It had someone floating in it.
"Why, hello Mr. Wayne," the man said.
"It is good to see you Mr. Penit," Wayne answered, shaking his hand.
"And who is this," Mr. Penit said gesturing over to Terry, who was staring into the tank.
The tank was filled with a deep green liquid, but Terry could tell that there was a girl in there, floating around. She also had lots of small tubes attached to her back.
"Oh," Wayne said. "This is my assistant if you will. His name is Terry McGinnis" Terry looked over to Mr. Penit and waved hello, but he was still looking around the room.
"If you'll excuse me gentlemen," Mr. Penit announced, "I still have to run some more test before she will be able to wake." Mr. Penit went over to a bunch of computers and started typing.
Wayne walked over to where the tank was. "Wayne," Terry asked. "Who is she?"
As if as on cue, the girl in the tank opened her eyes. They were a deep blue that Terry had never seen before. She glance to Wayne then to Terry. She put her hand up to the glass and smiled.
Terry then heard a voice that sounded like a girls. *Hello Mr. McGinnis. My name is Julia. How are you today? *
Okay, so end of chapter one. I know it is short but please review. Did anyone catch the building's name? I only realized this after I went online to figure out a spelling. And since I have written it to about chapter nine, the chapters are going to be about the same size, until I balance between finishing my old fan fic, Siren, and brain storming for another one that I will be writing about the X-Men Evolution television show.
