I'm just sitting here, melded inside the shadows and watching Batman work, He cant sense me hehe, He is my favorite to watch and the best part is since, I live inside the shadow lands the League doesn't even know i exist! I know all their identities and have never told a soul,
Any who let's get this ball rolling.

"Hello Batman, my name is Moonshadow but, you can call me Shadow. I am an Intel gatherer so to speak however, the secrets I learn never leave these lips but, I'll make a exception for you, Joker is in the security room awaiting you to run past him."

I decided that I will stay in his shadow for awhile. This will be fun, I wonder how long it will take for someone to sense me especially since, Batman looked intrigued though, bet he's gonna try to find some data on me. He won't find it but it will be fun to watch him try.

Don't get her wrong she refuses to trust, with her life as it was though, abandoned to a mental healthcare residential facility, only to be beaten by her peers for her lack of anger to those who wronged her and raped by a staff member a person she was supposed to trust her sanity to yet despite all of it, she only feel for him and her other tormentors was pity that their lives was so bad that he had to take it out on her, ridiculed for lack of hatred or anger being accused of enjoying her abuse. So no she trusted no one and she survived, she fought and she won. Yes, she hit some bumps like her overdosing on her prescriptions, when she returned from such horrid affairs just to be welcome home by fear and hate which, further solidifying her resolve to never feel genuine anger or hate. No matter how much she wanted to and, no matter how tired of fighting she was and, no matter how much she wanted someone to take care of her for once. Yet despite all of this, she left her file for the bat in the hands of his butler which, she knew he would give it to Bruce. If she was to try to trust again, she would start with the bat after all, who better to keep her secret than the man more paranoid than she, wrapped in more secrets than he actually had.

She whispered into the night.

"Hope I'm not making a mistake Batman, I'm trying to trust you. I'll see you in the league even if no one sees me.
If you ever need me just call me Shadow."

(Batmans pov)

He was curious, this Shadow had intrigued him apparently, also followed him to the manor. If she didn't already know who he was.

Then Alfred, handed him a file with a invisible ink message that only revealed itself under moonlight which, had a note that stated, from shadow with hope to the bat. Oh yeah she was good, he never even felt her presence so, he opened her file and immediately felt enraged on her behalf, sickened that someone could do such things to a child, most importantly he felt impressed by her strength in will.

Most, who had her life would have died or, turned to inhibitions to ease there pain. No not Shadow, she chose to fade into the background and become what was needed of her because, Shadow chose to never be angry or hateful, she forgave with out second thought, but never forgot. It scared and enthralled him to look at the picture of a beaten bound and bloodied girl, next to the strong almost scarless woman the girl had grown into and marveled at how, he had never heard or known of her till now.

Whispering an unknown response

"Don't worry Shadow, I wont break your hope and I will gain your trust and when I do I'm gonna ask you out just to get to know you because, now you've just became the most interesting puzzle and potential ally."

Sighing, he returned to the batcomputer her picture still up while he worked though, he'd never find her, part of him knew that she was like a fox only coming to you when, she felt safe enough as the picture of the child version of her with, coppery fawn like tufts of brown hair with a splatter of freckles as she forgivingly smiled through blood stained lips with, wise and vast ocean blue eyes. The adult post overdose photo showed the company at deaths door had, awakened her abilities, Sporting moon white hair and icy steel blue eyes, though she had grown fox ears and nine tails of the same shade of white only both where tipped in midnight black, showing her now Kitsune status.

Shaking his head he remembered her words, tempted to call out just converse. Deciding that was a bad idea. He decided he'd ask superman if he'd heard of her or if he was special.

Funnily enough, turns out he was special but unsurprisingly he had heard her name before, apparently the Justice League has been trying to recruit her or at least spot her for ages. Her Intel gather apparently put even Dr. Fate and the Question to shame, shaking his head he left as, he would not break the olive branch she had extended. she had obviously wanted to attempt to start making at least a friend plus, she was beautiful he'd give her that and wondered why him. He would call her shadow soon, he needed answers but knew she need space.
