With Pete still rambling on about if Bruce Wayne was really the Green Arrow or not and being the usual annoying fan boy self about the latest gossip. He had completely forgotten why he had come in the first place and ended up on her computer while watching the news at the same time to see what was going to happen next. She really did not want to hear any more about Bruce Wayne or the trouble that he has gotten himself into.
Why could she never escape the men in her life?
All she was hearing was Bruce Wayne did this.
Bruce Wayne did that.
Bruce Wayne
Bruce freaking Wayne.
She could hear all the gossip, and she didn't like it because she was finding it hard to shut her hearing off right now. It was all everyone in Kansas was talking about and she did not want to know just how far this conversation was going on.
The sooner she got out of the country the better. It was getting on her nerves; he was getting on her nerves after not seeing him in a year and hoping never to again, he just hops up in her life again out nowhere and just makes things so much more badly. Of all Lawyers in all of Metropolis, heck the world why did Bruce Wayne have to get the one that was her Grandfather. And why was she thinking of the film Casablanca right now
Yeah, she knew the stabbing kind of feeling in her stomach was guilt because she was feeling guilty that a man was going to be charged for crimes that he did not commit. Well the exact crimes that he was being charged with because he did happen so to be guilty of some of the crimes he is being charged with. The police got the wrong name and identity wrong on both accounts. And the wrong place and time.
She just had to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Twice!
She knew who green Arrow was, and she really could not tell anyone how she knew and why he didn't know that she knew because of the person that prevented from him knowing that she knew. Only she and batman knew that she knew the identity of the Green arrow and he was the one being charged with being the Green arrow and not Batman.
"He did not see you. So as far as I concerned, You were never here and you never saw a thing. So, Kent it would be best that you pretend that you did not see a thing tonight and forget everything that has happened"
Was what he told her and she really should follow his advice (not his instructions) and just do as he said and basically keeps her mouth trapped.
"Batman's one cruelty that he does not do is kill"
Was what Pete told her and if she was to believe what he believes then it was not really fair that Bruce Wayne could be charged with murder because that meant the death penalty and he did not deserve to die for something he did not do. No one deserves to be put to death in the first place and especially when they did not do it because that would just be murder itself.
He was Bruce Wayne and he was Batman there was no way that he would actually be charged with all of this nonsense. It was not like she could make an anonymous tip that they had the wrong billionaire and it was one of the other ones at the party. Or could she?
What was she going to do?
"Bwah !" she said madly while running her fingers through her hair.
This was driving her crazy, and she had to find away to distract herself.
Well, she still had all the chores that she meant to do instead distracting herself and just floating around in deep thought when there was nothing that she could possibly do right now anyway. Of course she was doing this unintentionally and had a bad habit of doing it lately and frightened a few chickens when she did it. A lot of eggs were laid that day.
Well, there were some cobwebs on the ceiling that she could only reach.
RING
And right on cue she had the distraction that she needed.
She looked at her phone and was slightly surprised when she recognised the number. It was her Grandfather's office calling. She was nervous and was starting to chicken out even before she answered the call but on fourth ring she then answered it.
And an hour later she found herself in a shop hotel waiting at a table for dinner/meeting.
Maybe it was not the best idea to come to place like this, dressed here so casually and wearing jeans of all things.
She could feel the darts and dirt stares people were practically giving her, worse she could wear the insults that they were saying and she did not need her super hearing for this. The rich were really a different type and breed of people because the normal folks could not get away with being so rude without getting insults back or into a scuffle over something like that. The way they are behaving was as if she was insulting themselves and not the other round just because she did not give a second thought of her appearance. But there was no way that she was going to let get to her and the best revenge was to do nothing at all and let them be the ones annoyed at her and not the other way around.
All she knew that she here for something about "babysitting" job. A job her Grandfather knew too well that she did and was used to. After all she 'babysat' the Thea Queen girl when she got herself into that drunken driving accident and she had to help her out. She had to get her out of that ditch that she had gotten herself into and help her Grandfather, whom was driven into. And this was the story of how he had discovered her powers. It turned out her Dad was right, all along that it would be because the rich that the truth would be found out. She was just lucky it was just her Grandfather and she just wished her Dad would just drop it already. But she knew that this was something that he was never going to drop, not in a lifetime and after that.
