Same thing applies, I don't own anything except the story and Anna yada yada yada, please rate and review =) and here… we… go!

The Joker slowly turned around and said slyly "I'm kinda busy right now... can you come back later?" Then he bursted into laughter and Anna rolled her eyes but her stomach fluttered. Batman was here to "save" her, her idol, her obsession. Batman kicked the Joker in the stomach and grabbed his head and wacked it on the bed frame three times leaving the Joker to slip into an unconscious state.

Batman hurried over to Anna and cut her free but before she could speak, he picked her up and jumped out of the window leaving the Joker on the floor to bleed on the carpet. Anna screamed as the raced down to earth but suddenly they stopped and she saw that Batman was holding a wire cable. She pulled him in tight as she was terrified of heights, but she could feel his heart beating faster much like her own, this was one of her idols, of course her heart was going to be beating fast.

Slowly they descended but when they reached the ground, Anna still held on in shock. Batman's heart started beating even faster as he gently pulled her off him and grabbed her hand. He pulled her through a garden turned into a maze that was full of roses and unlocked the Batmobile and helped her in. There wasn't much room inside but neither of them minded.

As they shot off down the road, Anna finally broke the silence. "Where are you taking me?" Batman looked at her for a second and said "Wayne Manor. I have friends there." Anna racked her brain, trying desperately to think of who had the last name Wayne.

"Wayne?"

"Yeah uh, Bruce is a friend of mine." Batman replied smiling slightly.

Anna stared at Batman and said "Who? I just moved in here not too long ago. I don't know a 'Bruce Wayne' but I do know you Batman." She placed her hand on his leg that suddenly tensed up. Batman blinked a few times trying to keep his mind on the road. The rest of the ride was quiet but as soon as they pulled up at the manor, Anna gasped at the eerie but beautiful house.

Batman braked and helped Anna out of the car. The front door creaked open showing an old butler by the name of Alfred. Batman raced forward and said in his normal voice "She doesn't know Bruce Wayne so..." he was cut off by the soft steps of Anna and his voice suddenly went deeper to Batman's level. "Would you mind looking after her? I know Bruce is out of town for a while but her house was..."

"Burnt down by the Joker?" Alfred injected, Anna turned and stared at the old man. "I was watching the news, at first people thought someone had burned with it but an ATM camera told a different story." He concluded. So that's how Batman knew… Damn!

Anna held out her hand and said in a sweet voice "Well anyway, my name is Anna Kyles..."

"The ballerina?" injected Alfred excitedly

"Yeah and you are?"

"Alfred ma'am and I think you were much better than Cynthia Syne." Batman stared at Alfred and thought Alfred? Alfred watches ballet?

"Well thank you Alfred, maybe I'll teach you some moves?"Batman moved forward and shoved up his hand. "Can you teach me 'a few moves'?" Batman felt like a giddy school boy again as he did this and mentally kicked himself for it. Anna giggled and nodded her head while Alfred went completely red and ushered them into the humongous house. Batman excused himself and went back to his car and drove off to the batcave.

Alfred showed Anna to her new room with en suite and walk in wardrobe the size of another room. "I'll order in some new clothes for you, erm what size are you?" Anna looked up from the bed "Um, size ten." Alfred nodded and walked over to the chest of draws and pulled out a pair of black silk men pyjamas small enough for Anna to wear and placed them on the bed.

"Goodnight Miss Kyles."

"Please, call me Anna. Goodnight Alfred." He shuffled out of the room closing the door behind him. Anna slipped out of her leotard and walked into the bathroom and had a shower. She pulled on the pyjamas and crawled into bed and instantly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Alfred hung the phone up and walked to a locked door and pushed a tiny button on the door frame. The door swung open exposing shelves of silverware and copperware. Alfred pushed on one side of the shelves and they spun around leading to a secret stairway. He walked down the stairs and walked into the batcave where Batman had taken off his mask and was sitting on his seat in front of several screens. "Master Bruce, Miss Kyles is sleeping in the west wing and I have ordered her some clothes for her. So apparently you're out of town?"

Bruce scoffed and rolled his eyes. "And you like ballet?"

Alfred went pale and shuffled his feet. "I won't ask you if you don't ask me." Bruce looked back at the screen. Alfred looked to and shook his head sadly, on the screen was a picture of Anna doing the flamenco in Spain.

"She's beautiful." Said Bruce in a soft voice. Alfred shook his head again and began to walk off.

"Master Bruce, please try to get some sleep tonight. Even Batman needs to sleep. Goodnight."

"Night Alfred."
