I took off my mask and got out of the Bat-mobile. It was a long night, fighting gangs, Mad Stan, and bank robbers, as usual.
"How was your night?" Persephone was sitting at the Bat-computer. Her legs were crossed, and her chin rested on her fingers, which were meshed together, and her elbows on her knees. She seemed very interested in me, for some reason.
"Why would you ask?" I was suddenly feeling very annoyed with her, even though she came about two days ago.
She cocked her head to her right. "I'm curious about you, like I am about everything." She turned to the Bat-computer. "I've been looking through your files. You've gone to the Justice Lords' universe, so you might know that ours and theirs isn't the only one." She looked back at me again, her eyes relaxed and calm.
I put my hands on my hips. "OK, lady. You are really annoying, and weird." What I didn't say was that she was kinda fascinating, in a strange way.
She smiled mysteriously. "Somehow, I'm just not surprised." Persephone stood up. "I've learned quite a bit about you. You have a girlfriend, your dad's dead, you have a younger brother, you go to Hamilton Hill High, and you've worked for Mr. Wayne since last year." She walked toward the staircase and began climbing it. "Why don't we have dinner; it's a chance for you to learn a little bit more about me."
Come to think about it, I didn't talk to her that much, so I didn't learn too much about Persephone-
Whatever her last name was.
I shrugged. "Sure."
Persephone cooked Greek salad and an Indian side for dinner. After tasting her food, I thought she was the worst cook ever. She was so bad I actually told her. Big mistake on my part. She looked really upset when I told her that.
"No one ever told me that. I thought I was really good."
After dinner, Persephone sat across from me at the dinner table.
"What do you want to know about me?" she asked.
I thought for a moment, then asked, "Where do you come from?"
"I come from another universe. One different from the Justice Lords' and one different from yours."
She leaned in closer.
"Over there, I was born to Wonder Woman and Bruce Wayne."
