Here is another one. Hope you like it! Please review.

RICHARD POV

I'm a little nervous about training her, I think I'm going to start with her he same way Bruce started with me. Full on attack and gauge her reactions from there. She is just so petite, I was a sturdy kid, so was Jason and so was Tim, even Babs is sturdy to a certain degree, but Jackie is…fragile. Maybe I'm thinking more of her mentality right now than her body. I know from experience that that isn't exactly how it works with human beings, and she can't be any worse off than I was when I got here.

The door opens above and she descends the stairs and smiles when she sees me, I wait for her to be down the stairs and about 10 feet away when I attack. "Defend yourself!"

JACKIE POV

Richard just jumped at me "Defend yourself!" He yells it loudly and it echos off the walls. The only things I can think to do is duck, so I do. I hit the deck and he flies over me, but before I can move he has my ankle and is sliding me towards him effortlessly. "Come on Jackie, do better than that, how will you stop me?"

I start to struggle against him and manage to free my ankle, I kick back and I connect with some part of him, but I don't look back to see what. I desperately move forward trying to find anything to defend myself with; there is no hope of me taking down anything with my strength, or basic lack-thereof. I grab a large wrench with a long handle from the table by the batmobile and turn back toward him. He is coming at me, "Remember, Jackie. No killing blows, body blows only with something like that."

I didn't need the advice because I panic before he is within reach and run again. I can see the water and one of the many waterfalls that line the walls of the cave up ahead. I have no idea how deep the water is, but I have nothing to lose, and I always could hold my breath for a long time. I jump into the water and go under.

The water is like a million pins hitting my skin all at once but I force myself to stay under the water and watch the rippling surface above for dick's shadow, it never comes and I can feel my lungs start to scream for air so I push myself forward in the water underneath the dock of the actual cave. The floor of the cave sits about 4 inches above the water and has several large grates that keep the water from flooding over the metal island when the water ever rises.

I come up for air near one of these grates and can hear Dick's footsteps on the metal floor. It is drawing closer and closer, the linked metal of the grate allows me to see where he is when he steps into view. He is crouched low like he is being hunted or like he is hunting, which both could easily be true in this situation.

I find myself watching him closely until he slips from view again. He was turning often watching all sides, I'll have to get at him where he doesn't expect it, which is only easily said. I start to swim forward thinking I may have a better view of what to do from a different grate when the grate is lifted up and I'm yanked out of the water by Dick as quickly as he would pick up a shirt from the floor.

"Nice try, but you'll have to try again. We're gonna do this until you can take me down." He smiles and puts me down then lunges at me again, in hindsight I should have kept the water try for later because my wet clothes seriously slowed me down.

He didn't lie when he said that we would do this until I could take him. A teacher with a "Learn by doing" method is sometimes a good course of action, but I did leave with a lot of bumps and bruises and scrapes and maybe a broken pinky finger, and as far as I can tell he wasn't even trying to hurt me. We worked on some methods of stalking and staying silent, we also worked on using shadows to my advantage, but mostly we stalked each other. I only managed to sneak up on him once and it's because Bruce came in and started yacking at him, and while they yacked I lunged at Dick and wrestled him down by pushing my whole body weight onto his neck.

He caught me in the rafters, he caught me underwater, he caught me under tables, he caught me in the batmobile, he caught me behind computers, behind him, behind costumes, behind giant joker playing cards, if I could hide in or around it, I did. And he found me every single time. And then at the end of the day he congratulated me, told me I was a fantastic student and told me to get some rest. I'll be honest, I don't think Richard Grayson knows what a good job means.

DICK POV

She thinks she did poorly, but actually she worked very well to her strengths and to my weaknesses. She figured out that I don't check my left side nearly as often as my right side. She also knew she couldn't take me in a headlong fight. And she managed to find every single vantage point and hiding spot in the entire batcave, and there are more than a few of them, 89 as far as I've counted. She even found one or two I hadn't though of, like under a few tables and behind mannequins.

She also used stealth and cunning well, as well as taking advantage of her surroundings. She is a different partner than any of us Robins have been. We always took fights straight on with no caution and no thought. She really thinks things through. Even when her plans didn't come to fruition, when asked she was able to give a detailed account of how the plan was to take place and how and why it would have worked if she had the proper skill and she was correct with every plan.

And the best aspect I can say for this new girl is that she never gave up. She didn't even complain. I would find her, foil her plan, catch her, knock her down, you name it. And she would ask for advice on what she could do better next time, and she would implement it in her next try. It got harder and harder to foil her as the day went on. I bet by the end of the week she will have the basic stealth and stalking styles down.

She is going to be easy to train. Much easier than any of us boys have been. Bruce should have thought about adopting a daughter years ago. She may not have the Braun, but she has brains and cunning like you wouldn't believe. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, we will do it all over again.
