The next morning I woke up in the most comfortable bed I had ever been in. I pulled off the bed sheets and saw that I was in a simple pair of pj's. I looked out side of the huge window next to me and smiled. There were huge trees and open fields of grass. The door to the room I had stepped in opened and Alfred walked in with a silver tray and some stuff on it. I waved at him. "Hi Alfred! What is this place?"
He set the tray down on the bed next to me. "This is the house of Batman's secret identity and you must never reveal it to anyone. Understand?" I nodded and he motioned towards the tray, "There is your breakfast and Master Bruce is leaving soon for Metropolis and wishes that you go with him. So I suggest that you hurry." I grinned wickedly and morphed to a raptor and was about to dig in when he peeked back through the door, "Not what I meant dear."
I smiled and returned to human before nicely eating my eggs and ham. I finished and went over to where my duffle bag was and pulled out a pair of faded jeans and an old simple red T-shirt and my red bandana. I quickly changed, slipped on my sneakers and ran out of my room with the clean tray in my arms. I walked around following my nose to the kitchen where Alfred was and placed it on the counter next to the sink.
"Where's Mr. Bruce?" I asked as I turned around.
"He's in the parlor with the newspaper." He replied without turning away from the stove.
I smiled, "Thanks!" I turned around and skipped out of the room. I looked around and saw Bruce sitting in a chair with the newspaper in his hands in deep thought. "Hi Mr. Wayne! Alfred said you wanted me to go with you somewhere?"
He looked up from his paper and smiled at me. "Oh there you are Erin." I froze.
"What did you say?"
He seemed saddened. "You don't like it?"
The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. "You named me?" He slowly nodded. "I have a name?! I have a name. Oh great day! I have a name!" I tackled him in a bear hug and sobbed into his chest. "Thank you so much! Oh, thank you Mr. Wayne!"
He slowly patted my back and chuckled. "You're welcome." He slowly pulled me away from him as I wiped my eyes. "Now, go grab your stuff because we leave in 15 minutes." I nodded and ran up to my room. I quickly grabbed my duffle bag and ran back downstairs.
"Okay! I'm ready to go Mr. Wayne."
He smiled and stood up. "Alright, Alfred, we are leaving now. We will see you later in Metropolis. Right?"
"Yes master Bruce."
I giggled and ran around him in circles until I felt all my hyperness run out. "Okay," I panted. "I'm good now."
He smiled and led me to his fancy car. He drove all the way to the airport and we arrived in fourteen minutes. The pilot of the private luxury plane nodded at us as we entered the plane. I sat across the aisle from Bruce as the plane took off. I leaned my seat back as he browsed through a newspaper from the Daily Planet. I soon fell asleep as we flew through a cloud bank.
"Erin, Erin. Wake up." I drifted back to the waking world as I felt some one shaking me. I sat up and opened my eyes. Bruce leaned back into his seat as I brought mine back to its upright position. "We're here."
My eyes brightened and I fully woke up. "We are?" He nodded and I looked out the window to see the runway come into view. I slightly paled when I saw how many people were waiting for us.
Bruce noticed, "Not one for crowds, are we?" I shook my head and sat back down. "I always feel like they're staring at me for some reason."
He smiled, "You can walk behind me and we'll go straight to the limo, I can just have a press conference later."
I smiled, "Okay."
When we landed I grabbed my duffle bag and slowly followed him out of the plane. He stopped at the front of the door and waved as people started taking pictures like crazy. I stood as close to him as I could without tripping him the whole way to the limo. A lady opened the door for us and Bruce climbed in first before I followed. I sat down and noticed there was a man sitting across from us. He was slightly buff, less than Bruce though, and was bald. He was slightly colored and glanced at me curiously before having a conversation with Bruce about some type of dealings.
"And who, might I ask is this lovely young lady?"
I was jerked out of my thoughts and looked around to find the man I had overheard was Lex Luthor gesturing towards me. "Erm, my name's Erin Mr. Luthor."
He smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you Erin."
I smiled, "Thank you."
We arrived at the condo that we were going to be staying at and I said good bye to Luthor as I grabbed my bag. As we went up the stairs I turned my head and looked over my shoulder to find the chauffer sitting in the driver seat as stoic as ever. I waved at her before turning around and running after Bruce. Unbeknownst to me, she smiled after me and waved her fingers.
I caught up to Bruce outside of the elevators and jumped in next to him just before the door closed. He smiled at me as we went up to 30 something. We calmly walked out of the elevator and I started to explore. I grinned when I saw a room completely painted turquoise and accented with a light grey.
"I call this room!" I shouted as I set my bag next to the bed and collapsed on its spongy surface.
Bruce peeked around the corner "Figured you would. We have some company."
I sat up puzzled. "Who?" He left without answering as a knock came from the door. I zoomed past him. "I'll get it!" I shouted as I looked through the peep hole. I saw Alfred and two other people behind him. I opened the door and hugged the man. "Hi Alfred!" I let go and he walked past me as the other two people waited in the hallway.
I smiled at them. "Hi! Won't you come in?"
They smiled at me and walked by.
The lady ruffled my short hair as she walked by, "Well aren't you cute!" I giggled and went to the living room where Bruce and Alfred were.
"I'm going to go to bed. See you guy's in the morning." They nodded as the two people came in. I waved at them as I passed them before closing the door to my room. I grabbed some of the pj's Batgirl had bought for me and opened the door to the bathroom. I gasped at how luxurious it was. I hastily climbed in the shower and took a quick one before changing and running into my room and jumping into bed. I pulled a pair of clothes out from my bag and set them on my nightstand just in case.
And voila! That was fun, excitement next chapter, stay classy people!
