Batfamily: one bad day #15

Spoiler looks at Robin going away, leaving her in the basement with her father. Behind her, a shadow appears.

 

BM: "I understand why you did it."

 

Splr: "Holy shit! You scared the hell out of me. Wait... you're Batman."

 

BM: "Yes I am."

 

Splr: "Listen, I didn't mean to-!"

 

BM: "I know you've been watching me and Robin for a while now. Studying our fightingskills and applying them to yourself."

 

Splr: "You know I've been watching you? How?"

 

BM: "Because I have been watching you."

 

Splr: "You have?"

 

BM: "You have the morivation to be a crimefighter, you have the will to learn, and you can fight. Your skills might not be the best, but that can be taught."

 

Splr: "What are you saying?"

 

BM: "I want to train you. You're motivation to take down Cluemaster was very high. Personal or not, you managed to take him out, and even went that far into manipulating Robin to come with you."

 

Splr: "You're not mad about that?"

 

BM: "I might seem scary, but I can be reasonable."

 

Splr: "Please don't be mad at Robin either."

 

BM: "I'm not. He figured out your secret identity on his own. Pretty impressive for him being this young."

 

Splr: "Don't you think he's going to be mad when he discovers that you are going to train me?"

 

BM: "I determine who I'm going to train and who not. So I suppose you're taking my offer?"

 

Splr: "Could you maybe give me the time to think about that? It's a pretty big offer you know."

 

BM: "I know, but understand, I don't just hand these offers out to every hero I see."

 

Splr: "I understand."

 

BM: "The offer will stay open though, for as long as you need."

 

Splr: "Thanks, eeehm. Didn't caught your name yet."

 

BM: "Nice try... Stephanie."

 

Splr: "So everyone knows it now, hm?"

 

BM: "Only the trustworthy ones."

 

Splr: "So how can I contact you when I've decided?"

 

BM: "Go to the GCPD, and ask for Gordon. He'll shine a light for you in the right direction."

 

Splr: "Alright. Thank you, Batman."

 

BM: "No worries. Now if you excuse me, I have something to look out for."

 

Splr: "The Joker, right? If there's anything I can do."

 

BM: "Go home, Stephanie. Your mom might be worried."

 

Splr: "Uhm, yeah, I guess you're right. Good luck finding him."

 

BM: "Thank you, get home safe."

 

Splr: "I will."
