A raging phone ringing woke me,  so I grabbed and answered the phone.

I asked, "Who is this, and why are you bothering me at seven?".

He responded, "Hello, Mrs.Carter; Mr. Bruce has requested your appearance."

I immediately knew who it was and rubbed my forehead, knowing that I didn't want to deal with it right now because I didn't have the energy or mental capacity to deal with Bruce after what had happened last night.

I replied, "Alfred, Can you please skip past the formalities, and you can tell him that I'm not coming to see him or anything, okay."

He breathed in and responded, "Yes, Miss-sorry Skylar, but he needs to speak to you about what happened last night and among other things."

I lay there naked in my bed and thinking about all the outcomes that could go, like, for example, me being me and having a screaming match with him or resolving things.

I finally answered Alfred, "I'll be there in 40 minutes tops, and don't make me regret this, alright".

He said, "Thank you, Skylar, and he won't regret it."

He hung up, and I rubbed my face, then thought this would be a long day.

I got out of bed and did my morning stretch, then went to the bathroom and washed my face. I thought, well, why not take a shower? I did, which took about 10 minutes, and I dried my hair in the bathroom. I walked out of the bathroom, put on my undergarments, and chose my outfit for the day.

Finally, choosing my outfit, a black turtle neck over a grey men's shirt tucked in with black flowy pants. Putting on my necklace that my mother gave me when I was little and put my Doc Martians on with black socks.

I was ready to go to Wayne Manor, so I walked to my door, grabbed my apartment keys, and locked them essentially after walking downstairs to head down to the main entrance. I pushed the door, walked out of the apartment building, and looked at my beautiful motorcycle. I hopped on my bike, put my helmet on, and then went off to Wayne Manor.

Pulling up in Wayne Manor, driving into the driveway, and then parking my bike. I removed my helmet, walked up to the front door, knocked on it, and opened it immediately, Alfred.

He bowed and said, "Good Morning, Skylar; Mr. Bruce is waiting for you in the bat cave."

I rolled my eyes, walked in, and said, "Of course he is."

Alfred moved out of the way and closed the door. Then, still speaking to me,

he said, "There is anything you want me to make you."

I looked at him and said, "I'm okay, Alfred, thank you."

He bowed his hand and walked away from me, then me looking around the place and thinking, wow, it hasn't changed a bit. I walked into the library and looked for the secret compartment leading me to the bat cave. I found it, unlocked the secret door, and entered the bat cave.
