"You watch the door this time." I groan as we climb through the window.

"But that part is no fun."

"Well someone has to do it. I'll check the safe." I nod reluctantly. If you saw us right now you'd think we were twins. Our similar suits and masks covering our eyes. Our only difference is the red details in my suit and our hair. Hers being straight and mine voluminous and curly. I stand by the door, peeking around. I hear talking but it's faint so it can't be too close. The tv is on GCN. It's a police chase on the Batman.

"Well, what do you know." Sel smiles. She opens the safe and it's empty.

"Maybe it's in a different safe." I suggest.

"No. We'll just have to ask politely." She smirks. We wait for Dagget and it only takes a few minutes.

"Can we get some girls in here?"

"Little late for that." I say as Sel pushes him down. I grab him by the collar standing him up, pushing him against the wall. He pulls out a gun and I trap his wrist with my heels airing it above his head. He drops the gun.

"What's the matter Dagget?" I ask.

"Cat got your tongue?"

"You dumb bitches." He smirks

"Nobody ever accused us of being dumb." I tilt my head.

"You are. For coming here tonight." I push my heel up his wrist squeezing his bones. Grinding them together. He groans in pain.

"We want what you promised." I hiss. I hear a gun cock.

"Nice outfit. Those heels make it hard to move?"

"I don't know." I take my heel down and kick him hard where it counts and finishing with his face as he topples over unconscious. "Do they?" I step away for Sel. She points the gun at him. I grab his gun off the floor.

"Where is it?" She asks.

"What?"

"The program. The clean slate." I answer.

"The ultimate tool for master thieves with a record." Men burst through the door and she holds him hostage. I break the window and we drop down onto the window washing machine. We lower it to the roof and she throws him to the floor.

"So where is it?"

"The clean slate? Where you type in someone's name and date of birth and in a few minutes their gone off of every database on Earth. Sound a little good to be true?" I hit him on the head with the butt of the gun. Just enough to leave a bruise.

You're a liar! Breaking Data took it to prototype stage!" I yell.

"That's why I bought them. But they had nothing." I get up and kick his head.

"Dammit!" In seconds over twenty men appear on the rooftops. Sel holds Dagget at gunpoint.

"Stay back. I'll do it!" I keep my gun aimed at them as they surround us.

"They know. They just don't care." A deep, hoarse voice says. I shoot one and we start taking them down. Throwing elbows. Batman quickly knocks the guns from our hands before we have the chance to use them again.

"No guns."

"Well where's the fun in that?" I ask. We continue fighting until Bane and his men come out shooting. He leads us across the rooftop and jumps into a car.

I give Sel a questioning look and look back at the men. Bane walks to us slowly and waves at me. Screw it. I jump down into the car with Sel following. We squeeze into the passenger side.

"My mom warned me about getting into cars with strange men."

"It's not a car." He responds. He starts it up and it flies away from the building.

"Dude this is awesome!" I gleam. We fly to a tall building away from the thugs. Selena looks nervous. It's quiet except for the hum of the aircraft.

"That's quite a voice you got there Bats. Do you really need a lozenge or do you use that as an intimidating factor?" I ask curiously. He doesn't respond.

"I use it to protect the ones I care about." He finally says.

"Oh that's nice. So are you back for good or are you going back to hibernation after this?" Sel hits me on the leg.

"Are you always this talkative?"

I put my hands up in surrender. "Sorry. Just trying to lighten the mood." I cross my arms.

We stop on a rooftop and we get out.

"See you around." Sel says as we start to leave.

"You're welcome." He gets out and follows us.

"Oh come on we totally had it under control." She says.

"Those weren't street thugs. They were trained killers."

"Well they obviously aren't very good at their job." I laugh. He looks at me and shakes his head.

"I saved your lives. And in return I need to know what you did with Bruce Wayne's fingerprints."

"Oh we sold them. To Dagget." I smile.

"For something that didn't even exist." Sel rolls her eyes.

"I doubt many people get the better of you." He steps closer to her. Awkward.

"Hey, when a girls desperate." She shrugs.

"What's he going to do with them?"

"I don't know but he seemed pretty interested in that mess at the stock market." A helicopter approaches and distracts Batman and I.

"Ms Kyle?" We look back and she's gone.

"So that's what that feels like." He looks at me.

"Oh right. Bye!" I wave and jump off the building going back to my house.

"You left me standing up there with him looking like an idiot." I shake my head as I change into pjs.

"I know. I don't know what it is about him. I couldn't be up there any longer."

"What do we do now? Now that the clean slate is gone."

"I say we book flight tickets out of here before things get too bad." I nod.

"I'll make the arrangements tomorrow." She says before going to bed. I turn off the lights and go to sleep.
