Chpt.5
Batman sat, typing vigorously on the computer trying to pull up files on Milo. However, he quickly was able to pick up some bread crumbs and found his files. Batman clicked around and found it. He found a small Island off the coast of Bermuda.
"Hiya." squeaked a voice, making him a jump slightly. He turned around to see Dark Shadow, sitting with a blanket around her shoulders next to the Robin case. Batman didn't even hear her come in.
"Dark Shadow, why are you down here?" he inquired, walking over and kneeling next to the girl.
"I like it down here. There's not a lot of light, and it reminds me of my home. We lived in a cave. Is it okay if I stay down here?" she inquired, her big golden eyes wide, looking up at him.
"It's alright if you stay down here, but don't touch anything. Some things down here are very dangerous." he explained and she nodded her head.
Batman needed to go to the Justice League and borrow a Javelin to make the trip to the Island. The Batjet wouldn't be able to make that long of a trip. He looked over at Dark Shadow who had her eyes facing her feet and tears streaking her face.
"Why are you crying?" Batman inquired. The girl wiped her face with her blanket, trying to get the tears out of her eyes.
"I'm not crying." she answered quickly. Batman looked her in the eye, and could see new tears starting to form, and she quickly looked away.
She's a ten year old. It's okay for her to cry. Batman thought to himself.
"Yes. You are crying." he stated.
"… sorry." she pouted, then cringed when he took a step towards her. "Please don't hurt me!" Batman raised an eyebrow.
"Hurt you?" he questioned as he took another step foreword, and she flinched. "Dark Shadow, I'd never hurt you. Especially not for crying." She looked up at him with uncertainty in her eyes. Batman knelt on the cave floor near her and tried to give her a comforting look. "You can trust me." In a quick silent motion, Dark Shadow was tightly hugging his torso and softly crying into his shoulder.
"I miss my family. They're in trouble, and I can't even help." she whispered, still lightly crying.
"It's going to be okay. I'm going to the island very soon." he stated, trying to comfort her.
"Can I come with?" she inquired, hopefully. Batman was going to say no, but with one look into her eyes, made him soften and change his mind.
"Alright, but you have to promise me that you will rest as much as possible. You still need to gather your strength." he explained, and she nodded her head.
Batman lifted up Dark Shadow, and turned on his COM link.
"Batman to watch tower. Beam me up." he stated, and the two were teleported to the Watch Tower.
