I swirled the lollipop I had in my mouth as I leaned against my desk in the main branch of Wayne Enterprises. Bruce was sitting behind his grand, red oak desk as he talked to a couple of his business associates.

Yes, Dick and I had our own miniature desks in Bruce's office, complete with a high-tech computer. He was teaching us the ropes of running a large company on top of our regular school classes, self-defense lesson, extra classes, and our… vigilante activities. It was a good thing that we were almost always whelmed, or else we'd be overwhelmed times a thousand.

I sighed silently to myself. Bruce had been talking with them for a little over an hour, and he was supposed to show us Wayne Mining's job reports.

Whatever. I'll just hack.

I leaned back in my seat and moved my mouse, breaking my computer's rest.

I then leaned forward, giving the screen my entire attention. My fingers danced across the keyboard in a swift, soft, and intricate dance. My green eyes darted across the screen, reading the codes as they quickly appeared on my screen one after another.

Bypassing security… uh huh…

Binary code appeared on my screen; all of the zeroes and ones stared down at me, trying to intimidate me. In response, I typed in a code that broke them for me to enter and access the files.

Bypassed the first defense…

C'mon Bruce. How about putting up more of a challenge?

By now, I knew it was my goal to successfully hack into the systems. He was talking to them not only to discuss business, but also train us. Why I hadn't realized that earlier was an anomaly.

I continued typing in carious codes that I knew interrupted the frequency, but then something stopped me.

The next digits appeared on the screen, and I stopped in my typing, paralyzing in shock:

0100010101001100010010010100 1101010010010100111001000001 0101010001001001010011100100 0111001000000100010001000001 0100111001000111010001010101 0010001000000101001101001111 0101010101010010010000110100 0101 [1]

Crap. Crap. I can't get out, but how do I hack and get away from the virus that was going after me?

I immediately resumed my typing and glanced up for a second to see Bruce make eye contact with me and give me a flitter of a smirk. He was toying with me. I internally pouted and continued to furiously work.

I saw the codes move faster, almost double its speed. If I wasn't trained to read so quickly, I would've just seen blurs. The strange thing though, was that it wasn't me causing the spike in speed.

Realization then hit me: Dick.

I noticed the virus that was chasing after me disappeared and knew it was his doing. I turned my head, making eye contact with blue-grey.

'Got your back, V,' he said with his eyes. My orbs softened slightly before hardening and turning back to my computer screen.

A couple minutes later, a window popped up, giving me a folder that was labeled with all of the dates of Wayne Mining's progress. Dick and I leaned back, sighing heavily in unison. Hacking through Bruce's systems never failed to make me exhausted.

"Good work, you two," Bruce's voice came. I turned my head.

He smiled at us, a proud look on his face, with his business associates long gone.
