Peggi-I don 't own Batman. There, you heard me. I OWN NOTHING! ARGH!. . .except this plot, which I will protect with my life!
TROUBLE ARRIVES
Trouble stretched out, yawning, as she pulled herself out of bed. She decided to have a few bites of cornflakes, without milk of course! She was the first of her three "cellmates" to wake up, and decided to take advantage of this. She flinched slightly as a bright over-head light flicked on.
"Hey girl! How are you this morning?" the teenaged girl who turned on the light, asked.
Trouble let her eyes adjust to the brightness, and heard the rustling of Shadow, Chewie, and Lucky, her "cellmates", waking up.
"Ugh. . .another boring day." Trouble moaned.
"Shh. . . Not so loud, Trouble. You'll wake Eevee up!" the teenaged girl whispered.
"Sorry. . .I'm not used to more humans who can hear me talk being around here. . .so, when is she leaving?"
"You know that she can stay here as long as she wants. It's my fault her house blew up, so I should be responsible and help her out however I can."
Trouble nodded and continued to eat her cornflakes while Shadow stumbled over, half awake.
You see, Trouble and her "cellmates" were rats, and their caretaker, Peggi, had discovered something very interesting about them. Something very interesting indeed. They could talk. As much of a gift as this seemed to Peggi at the time, she didn't realize that her rats couldn't just talk to anyone, and, in fact, until Eevee and Nick came to live with her, Peggi and her four rats had come to realize that no other humans could understand them. So far, only Eevee, Nick, and Peggi had the ability to speak with the rats, and knew how very special this gift was, and intended to protect the four.
Protection, was a necessity in Gotham, and if you had something special about you, you could be in great danger. But protection wasn't what Trouble wanted. She wanted to take care of herself, and to be just like her role models. She wanted so badly to fight alongside Batman, Robin, and Bat-girl, but she was just a rat, and had nothing to offer. . .but Eevee and Peggi didn't think that she should give up so easily, and little did the young rat know, they had plans for her. . .very BIG plans, indeed. . .
Peggi-Don't worry, my readers, this WILL involve Batman, this was just the prologue. . .things get better as the fic moves on. . . and I dedicate this fic to Eevee, Nick, James, and to my 4 rats, Trouble, Shadow, Lucky, and Chewie, who inspire me every day!
