A stiff knocking sound came from Zaras front door.
"galapagos"The code word came soon after
She was still hesitant, so she slowly walked without noise to the door. Her cats following silently and closely behind.
Peeking at the shadow that came from under the door she knew that Galapagos was not the code word.
The agents made it clear that the call was being tracked and would not actually make the code word easily trackable.
Zara made it across her apartment without sound. She swooped up her cats and put them in the bathroom tub with food and water, knowing she wouldn't be back soon.
She without noise went into her bedroom grabbing and sliding on the suit given to her by the strange man in black, packed a bag full of ropes. Water and canned foods.
She jumped through and rolled out the window as she heard her door being kicked in and angry men shouting"find her!"
She inspected her left and right. If she'd run to the right the distance of balcony would connect to many other balconies.
She knew each balcony would take her 3.2 seconds each to hop and up to 9 seconds if she had a hard time.
Her only option was to hop them because to her surprise to the left was no other balconies just a dark empty space, where she would have to make a fatal attempt at jumping down 9 stories with no safe landing space.
So without doubt she took three large deep breaths and hopped over each balcony untill she was far from her apartment.
She stopped to catch her breath and climbed down each balcony until she was on the ground floor. She looked into the window of the side building and saw men she'd never seen in her buildings security uniform.
She assumed the worst, that they were out cold and the men looking for her were in the uniforms ready to kill or abduct her.
She had to run, the one thing she thought she could avoid.
She then felt a bulge in her right legs pocket. She felt around in the suit while looking around cautiously. She read the paper and it was a map that had directions to "Wayne enterprises"
Then at the bottom a note read
"𝓐𝓼𝓴 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓷."So she slid down each street, jumped every fence that came up, took every short cut and made quick silent turns.
She followed the map exactly as each direction was written. She found herself at the east entrance of Wayne Enterprises. She opened the door and saw a man at the front desk. He was clean cut and seemed very serious as he was on the phone with someone, discussing quantity and quality.
She walked to the counter where he stood, where she then threw on her best poker face. He looked up at her and put one finger up, indicating to give him a moment.

Man: hi my name is Georgio, how may I assist you madam.
He added in the most beautiful Irish accent.Zara: yes, well I'm looking for the Batman, I...
Georgio: done and done.
He interrupted her.Zara looked to her right as the elevator dinged then opened revealing an old man with a sleeker older suit.
Alfred: this way mademoiselle.
So Zara walked quickly and caught the elevator. Making small talk as she went up in the huge steel box.The elevator once again dinged and opened ,revealing a room filled with antiques and a desk with two chairs facing the desk and no chair on the opposite end .
Then he appeared. The man who had led Zara here. The one who had saved her before. The one who was trying to help her by suggesting going into witness protection.
Zara was about to sit down in one of the chair when the man spoke.
Batman: not here. The room next of this one.
He led her to two massive English doors.

Zara now knew that the Wayne Enterprises was in fact not just wealthy but was actually an old money enterprise.Zara: why are we here Batman?
Batman: I am kin of the Wayne's I stay here in the penthouse, it has several rooms and rest rooms. This room here, is yours now. Your mother is at one of best witsec programs and I have this hideout with you.
Zara: why are you helping me?
Batman: because you are a genius in disguise as a news writer. It's an abomination.
Zara takes a step back in offense*
Zara: Are you saying my job is an abomination?
Batman: no, I think you should use your mind to build your skill. I will train you, unless you want to not be trained as a human weapon and just want to live with cats and sleep one-eyed for the rest of the time you have here.
The man in all black looked around and called out.
Batman: ALFRED!
The old man came walking into the hallway.
Batman: get Zara set up in her room, and her security system.
Alfred: yes. Zara is it?
Zara: yes.
Alfred: hold out your hand.
Zara held out her right then left hand as the older man tapped the wall and a L.E.D keyboard flipped outward and placed itself Infront of him. As a camera slid out of the wall from a pulley.
Then a small blue light from the camera scanned over Zara's hand.
Alfred: try and keep still.
