Christopher Weiser, king pin of the third largest criminal organizations in Gothem City, sat before a little known girl who had caused him much trouble in the past three months. Her face showed no signs of fear or terror which, in his office was very unusual. Audra Williams had talent in crime areas, she could steal, she could threaten, she could disappear without a trace, she could control nature, she was intelligent, yet she was weak. Her family meant more then life to her as she had proven by running to Jump City instead of testifying against him. Weiser smiled a cocky grin, and began his chat with the girl.

"I was very unhappy to learn of your disappearance Ms. Williams." he said almost business like "You were I believe told to stay in Gothem so I could find you after the unfortunate misunderstanding was taken care of?"

"The only thing unfortunate about it was that you got off." spit Audra in a voice thick with loathing.

Weiser had Bouncer slap her hard enough to leave a mark on her face. "You seem to have forgotten the rules Ms. Williams. Allow me to remind you of them. You DO NOT disobey a direct order from me or else your mother's sponsorship in the hospital is pulled." Weiser sneered "That would mean her life support is done, gone, and she dies."

Audra's jaw set in a manner that suggested she was extremely angry but not going to say anything. Bouncer smiled as the boss told him to hit her one more time for good measure. This time a trickle of blood came from the corner of the girl's mouth and a growl came from the bottom of her throat.

"I still can't believe that you're so cowardly as to tie me down before you hit me Bouncer." whispered Audra "A real man wouldn't have to."

Bouncer's face contorted with anger and he gave Audra a heavy punch in the jaw. Audra glared at him with eyes filled with confidence at winning. He may have been able to punch her, but she had accomplished wounding his ego. Weiser watched with amusement as Bouncer proceeded to hit the girl yet again. Audra still smiled for every time Bouncer punched her, her point became more clear and true. Weiser finally called enough when Audra was gasping for breath.

"Now Bouncer do leave some life in the girl she does have to steal for me tonight." Weiser laughed.

"Over my dead body." muttered Audra. Weiser looked at her and a smile spread across his mutilated face.

"Don't you mean over your mothers live body?" he whispered just loud enough for her to hear. Audra's anger flared and she tried to get out of the chair jerking forward fast and hard. Weiser just smiled and sat down at the desk.

"You see that window? That is where I threw the man who told me you'd run off from. Those body spaces are where the two men who tried to bring you back and failed met their end, and those organs on the wall behind you, those are the police who tried to raid this building." Weiser commented in a nonchalant way. Audra's face showed pure disgust and anger.

"You're a sick twisted old man with nothing better to do then murder and one of these days I'm gonna kick your ass you bastard." Audra hissed. Bouncer cracked his knuckles, but Weiser just laughed at the girl.

"Yes and the day you do your mother dies. Without my money you would never have gotten anything you have and your family would all be dead." Weiser continued to pepper her nerves "Every last one who I have taken under my wing, and cared for, putting them in the best hospital possible...."

Audra cut him off "THEY WOULDN"T BE THERE IF IT WEREN"T FOR YOU!!" she screamed beginning to cry "THEY WOULDN"T BE IN COMAS IF YOU HADN'T TRIED OT MURDER US ALL!!!"

Tears streamed down Audra's crimson face, but Weiser just kept going. "And why did I have to try and kill you all? Because you're a sniveling fool who won't say yes to anything without mommy dearest telling you it's ok. You're a weakling who has no knowledge of anything but your own well being. Because you're a brat WHO STOLE MY MONEY!!!"

"YOU STOLE MY LIFE FIRST! YOU KILLED MY REAL PARENTS YOU MADE ME INTO THIS......THIS MONSTER!!!" screamed Audra back, her voice was cracking and hoarse, and Weiser just smiled at her.

"And I don't regret a minute of it dear." he said politely, but a new voice countered him.

"You're about to." said a cold hard voice from near the window.

Weiser, Bouncer, and Audra turned their heads to see Batman and Robin standing in the room. Robin looked as if he was about ready to kill someone as did Batman. Weiser's face fixed itself into the cheap smile it had been in and Bouncer cracked his knuckles smiling.

"We have guests how nice." Weiser commented "Bouncer welcome them for me would you." Bouncer grinned and headed for Weiser's desk, but Audra knew what he as going to do.

"GET OFF THE RUG!!!!!" she yelled. Weiser returned her yell with a punch, his rings leaving scratches on her cheek.
"Shut up you disobedient mutant!" he yelled, but the damage was done and Batman and Robin had taken three steps backward off the rug. Bouncer pressed the button anyway just to make the battle a little more interesting. The rug dropped to both side reveling a pit filled with an unknown chemical which hissed and emitted a heat from its crackling surface. Bouncer lunged at Batman and they began an easy fight as Bouncer was only half as good as he looked, but Weiser had a more sinister plan. He quickly grabbed Audra's chair and perched it precariously on the edge of the pit. Weiser made one mistake, he freed one of Audra's hands from its ropes.
"Leave or the girl dies." called Weiser; Robin lunged forward but was held back by Batman.
"It's not safe; she could fall with the tiniest vibration." he whispered to the younger hero. Robin growled in shear anger at being held away from Audra. Weiser smiled with triumph as Batman and Robin backed towards the window from which they had entered. Audra's eyes met with Robin's long enough for him to see she was alright. From nowhere a bolt of lightening fried Weiser and Bouncer causing Audra to fall, but Robin had seen her had headed for the sky and sent a rope just in time. A small tug gave him the sign to pull her upwards. Audra climbed safely from the pit of acid now dirty, bruised, bleeding, and extraordinarily angry.
"Get out of here, Weiser's mine." Audra whispered "Go to Gothem Private Hospital and switch the Williams family to my account I've got enough for a day or two till I can get someone else to help me out."
Batman smiled under his mask "No need Ms. Williams, Bruce Wayne already took care of it."
Audra threw a confused look at Robin who was also smiling before using wind to carry her safely over the pit. The first thing she did was to close the opening in the floor so as to free some of the space for the two men on the other side to fight Bouncer and the backup that had arrived a few seconds before. Audra then turned to Weiser a small smile curved her lips.
"You made me mad Weiser." she whispered malevolently.
"What are you going to do about it you little brat. Kill me?" Weiser cackled nervously.
"No, but I am going to hurt you." Audra whispered creating a hailstorm directly over him with hail the size of baseballs. "And then I am going to turn you and all of these lovely disks containing cold hard evidence against you into the police and watch as you get sent to jail for life."
Weiser's face reflected the fear in his heart as the girl whom he had made into a deadly weapon advanced upon his form. Audra took pity on Weiser and only struck him with half the lightening she had been planning two, but still enough electric energy to do some major damage to his body. By this time Bouncer and his cohorts were neatly tied in a bundle by Batman and Robin and the rest of the building had taken the hint when the warning lights went off and gone running into the street only to be captured by the police.
"I think, Ms.Williams, that you need to be fitted for a protective suit. You won't fit in with the Titans wearing jeans and a tee-shirt."
