This one is a little short.
The next day Bruce Wayne sat in the Board room of Wayne Enterprises with Lucius Fox, the CEO and his close friend. Jayla walked into the room in a pair of dark grey pinstripe trousers under a dark purple blouse and a matching blazer to the pants. Her black hair was tied back in a ponytail. Behind her was a tall thin man with a severe face and a shock of Brown hair on his head in a suit.
"Hello Mister Wayne" The Man said shaking his hand. "I'm Dmitri Logan, Head of the Board of Executives at the Wilson Institute"
"Hello" He said kindly nodding to the man to his right, "This is Lucius Fox the CEO of Wayne Enterprises"
They shook hands and Lucius turned to Jayla with a smile. "You must be Jayla Wilson"
"Yes I am sir" She shook his hand with a smile. "I will hand this over to Mister Logan for negotiations."
She walked out and Bruce followed quietly.
"Wow" He said as she sat down in a swivel chair. "You are good at this"
"I am who I am" She looked at him and smiled her attitude notably different than the day before. "Do you know how to play chess?"
"Of course" She waved him to a glass chess board sitting in the corner of the room.
"Care for a game Mister Wayne?" She asked her green eyes glinting with mischief.
"Gladly Miss Wilson" They sat and played. Two geniuses pitted against each other in a game of wits and strategy.
"I so am going to win this" Jayla said as Lucius and Dmitri come out to see the pair still in their game of chess.
"No you don't I have you cornered" Bruce said exasperated.
"Um" Dmitri coughed and they looked up. "We have settled on a partnership"
"I believe from the documents that that is what was being proposed by your father Miss Wilson." Lucius smiled. Jayla snorted and stood up, straightening her blouse and turning to Bruce.
"Draw?" She looked down at her opponent.
"For now" He stood and they shook hands. "Let's start a new game"
"How I'm going home?" She asked
"Here's my first move" He handed her a piece of paper with a coordinate on it.
"Pawn B-4" She smiled and shook her head. "I see. I'll send you my move soon"
He nodded and Dmitri and Jayla left. Bruce turned to Lucius.
"What did you find out?" He asked
"Jayla is an apparent street fighter along with a computer hacker. She hacked to military network at the age of twelve" He added. "Over all she is troubled and needs a friend"
"Strange" He looked out the window as Dmitri pulled out one way and a black Mini Cooper raced off on the other direction.
"Pawn C-3" Bruce read and moved the piece he was told too. His piece sat still on where he put it after he gave Jayla the card.
"Knight G-3" Several weeks after they started the entire board was arranged in a different manner. Jayla smiled as she moved his piece into the trapped she had planned.
"Bishop A-7 Pawn taken" Bruce scoffed at the note written and moved said pieces.
Five months after they had started they were still going at the same game. But then Bruce stopped getting changes. He called and called and asked Lucius if he had heard anything. When he got no as a reply he went to the Wilson's mansion to see what was wrong. He was greeted by an upset looking maid who went by the name of May.
"May, Is Jayla around?" He asked as he sat in the living room waiting for Seymour. May stopped and turned to him.
"Jayla has been missing for two weeks" She said quietly and Bruce jolted in shock.
"What do you mean by missing?" He asked standing.
"She means that no one has seen or heard from her in two weeks" Seymour Johnson came down the stairs. His entire manner was affected by her disappearance, he looked drab and down beaten. "She was driving home from The Institute one evening and then gone. The police found her car in a ditch along with her cell phone and wallet but no Jayla." he sighed and sat down. "They expect kidnapping"
"That's horrible" He sat down as well shocked that she was gone.
"Could you ask around Gotham?" Seymour asked frantically. "See if anyone knows anything that could help"
"Of course" He stood to leave thinking about what could have happened.
