Hey guys!
There really isn't much to say... but here's the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own Batman. Or Gotham. Or Commissioner Gordan. Or Alfred, or anybody! Except for my OC's.
Enjoy.
Violet stared at her tea. They were upstairs, in the living room. Alfred had gone to get crackers. Bruce nodded as she finished her story, and took a sip of his tea.
"I can't really help you," he said. "But I have a hunch that all of this," he gestured around the room, "has to do with you."
She sat of quickly in her armchair. "Me? No," she gasped. "I don't have superpowers or anything!"
Bruce raised his eyebrows and looked up at Alfred, who had just entered the room. He took a cracker. "Thank you, Alfred," he said as he bit into the cracker.
Violet stared at the floor and put her tea down. "I'm not special," she said to the carpet. "I've been a comic book geek most of my life. I can't control anything, I don't have super powers and-" her eyes widened. "Unless..."
Batman sat up. "Unless what?"
"A couple weeks ago, Lila and I- she's my friend," she added as she saw Bruce's disapproval. "Lila and I where exploring this weird rock we had found in Cell Park. It was small, and it looked like an ordinary rock, but we both felt a weird heat coming from it. We broke some of it off. It was green inside, a glowing bright green. We decided I should take it, since Lila's mom would never let her have it. Some of the powder was on my hands when we ate that night- and I didn't wash my hands-"
"Oh," said Bruce. "Oh god... go get the rock," he ordered. "Come back to the Batcave and we'll take a look at it."
She nodded and ran outside, in the rain. Yes that's right, Violet had been in Wayne Manor for two hours and it was now raining. Of course. Her combat boots splashed in the newly made puddles, as she ran to her house.
Wayne Manor wasn't far from her home, she realized. She could go there any time. Her shaky hand found the door and opened it, spraying water all over the newly polished floor. She ignored that fact and went upstairs to her room.
Her hands shook even more as she opened the box that contained the rock a tiny crack. She quickly closed it before the odd green light shone on her face. Violet ran downstairs, only to crash into Max.
She fell on the hard wooden floor. The box landed upside down a foot away from her. Her brother got up and glared. "Why are you in such a hurry?" he asked. He looked at the box, and the anger turned into curiosity. "What's that?" Max asked, reaching for the box. She snatched it out of his grasp. "Comics," she snapped. "Nothing you'd be interested about."
He looked at her, more confused than ever. "I didn't know you liked comics," he said. "What kind is it? Batman?" He laughed and headed to his room. "Like they'd make a comic about that creep."
Violet looked down at the box. "You have no idea," she whispered and went out the door to Mr. Wayne's.
This time she made sure to grab her jacket, for it was now unbearably cold outside. Her long hair flew behind her, and she stopped to quickly pull it into a messy, curly pony tail with one of the hair binders she always kept on her wrist.
"Empty your pockets, missy," grunted a voice. She looked up to see two men with guns, pointing them strait at her. They where both in black, with caps. Violet gasped and dropped the box, it's content spilling out.
One of the men bent down and looked at the shining stone. "Looky at this, Leevie. Jade. Costs at least a hundred grand."
His partner, Leevie, lowered his gaze, but not the gun. "Good. But first, let's cover our tracks..." His finger seemed to push the trigger in slow motion.
Violet closed her eyes, thinking of Lila, Max, her mom, her dad, Daisy... but no pain came. She heard the grunt of someone getting punched, and a thud. She opened her eyes and looked down to see both men unconscious on the street. And Batman, mask and all, was holding the box, the stone back in it's place.
"Looking for this?" he asked.
Violet was in the Batcave with Bruce, in costume. He was examining the stone with some kind of scanner.
"The thugs said it was jade," she said as she looked over his shoulder. He shook his head.
"This isn't jade," Batman replied. "It's not from earth. I'll keep searching but..."
Suddenly, Violet slapped her forehead. He turned to her. "What?"
"How could I have been so stupid..." she mumbled. "If Batman is real, than other superheroes must be real too, right?"
He raised his eyebrows. "I don't like where this is going..."
"That means- Wait, have you met Superman yet?"
Batman stared at her. "You mean that overgrown boy scout in tights that Metropolis thinks as their hero?"
"I'll take that as a yes. Well, if you didn't know, Superman is from the planet Krypton. This rock... it's Kryptonite. Superman's only weakness. But if I swallowed it..."
Bruce's eyes widened. "You have superpowers," he said. "We have to find out what they are."
Hey, sorry this chappie was short. I'll try to make the next one longer, but anyways, R AND R! ITS GOOD FOR YOU!
