5. Chapter 5

POV: Batman

Setting: Bat Jet/Batcave

I steadied my breathing, locking my eyes on her. I saw her hands moving quickly from gear to switch, almost naturally. Just by observation of her so far, I knew she would grow up to be come a skilled fighter. Who she would choose to ally with, was up to her. So far it wasn't me. I was her enemy. But it so happens that her "enemy", was hiding out in the back of the jet she had just abducted.

"Rookie mistake", I thought.

I studied her, my eyes going back and forth. She had dark brown hair, with streaks of red. Based off of the reflection in the mirror, her eyes appeared to be a crystal blue. Her fingers were long and thin, and her legs stick like. Her lips were thin, and creased into a sorrow grimace. I slowly slipped out of the shadows and followed the curve of the jet's metallic frame. I unlatched a Flash-Bang Grenade from my utility belt. I rolled it across the console table,to the point where it landed directly to the left of her.

As she went to switch the gear on the console, she saw the grenade, and exclaimed in surprise,"What the...!"

She couldn't finish the last bit of her sentence because the grenade had already gone off and temporarily impaired her sight and hearing. I slipped her out of the seat and tied her hands and feet together and moved her to the back. I knew I had about 10 minutes before she would fully recover her vision and sight. I landed the jet quickly and smoothly. I threw open the door and set a timer for 9 minutes. I ran to what I thought was a villain camp in a town near the border of the Jostreca region and the Tastal. Then I saw many people brandishing knives and guns asleep on the ground. I placed many gas pellets around the sleeping people. I unhooked a couple metallic fold boxes from my belt. I scavenged as much food from the camp as I could and placed it in the boxes. Unexpectedly, my timer loudly went off awakening the villains from their slumber.

A/N Once again please review my story! I don't want to sound desperate, or anything ;) but please do give me some feedback. Thank you so much for the anonymous review who told me about paragraphing, it was very helpful! Sorry this chapter is so short I've been trying my best to publish chapters about every 1 to 2 days so that should make up for the shortness in length. Enjoy!
