The Tale Of Becky Quinn

Day at the Mall

Becky bit into her slice of pizza she kept her eyes on Kyle and Tim who were talking amongst themselves and ignoring her, she had half a mind to flick a piece of pepperoni at them.

But she decided against it no need to waste perfectly good pepperoni, She put her pizza back on the napkin and picked up her soda with her eyes still on the boys; she plopped her soda on the table after her drink and rested her elbows on the table.

Okay now she was angry. Why were they ignoring her? She hated boys. She rested her head on the palm of her hand and rolled her eyes, she wanted to get up and leave but didn't want to risk getting lost; so she was stuck here doing nothing.

Why would Tim even invite her here?! Becky looked over at them for a moment both still caught up in whatever they were talking about, she rolled her eyes again and stood up; she didn't care about getting lost! She knew when she wasn't wanted.

She brushed passed them nobody looked up even as she exited she scoffed as she made her way through the crowds of people, she hated boys! She bumped into a few people before finding a bench to sit on.

She crossed her arms and sighed she had no money, no friends, and no way back home. This was a real let down she thought she would have a good time but life likes to trip and make her fall more often the help her back up.

"Maybe that's way mom never brought me here..." she thought and looked down at her boots, "I wish I knew the way home..." She thought as she leaned against the bench, Home.

"Did those two even notice I was gone?!" she sighed and stood up and marched back to the food court, after looking around the court for a minute she couldn't find Tim or Kyle.

She growled and stormed back out she headed to the escalator that went to the upper part of the mall, she nearly ran into someone as she got off then shoved her hands into her pockets and kept walking she stopped and looked at a clock in a window display; Becky smiled slightly they had five more minutes left.

She turned on her heels and headed back to the escalator when a taller boy ran passed her nearly pushing over, "Hey!" Becky yelled after him "Watch it..." she mumbled; Then she noticed a mall cop running in her direction.

"Stop him! He just robbed a jewelry store!"

She went off like a bullet.

Becky took off after him pushing through people,

"Stop!" She yelled

"Stop him!"

Some people took out there phones but that wasn't helping her. Becky took a breath and yelled again,

"Stop him!"

Some people tried grabbing the boys arm or stepping in front of him but the boy either pulled himself away or got passed them.

That slowed him down enough for Becky to catch up with him she grabbed the back of his jacket,

"Stop!" She yelled gripping his jacket with both hands she held tight to his jacket until the mall cop caught up with them.

"I'll take it from here young lady" the man said grabbing the boy on the shoulder and dragging him away, Becky caught a glance of the boys face as they rounded the corner she gasped he looked so...sad.

"W-wait" she called after the cop the man turned to look to her "Yes?"

Becky opened her mouth to say something,

"Becky!"

Becky turned to see Tim and Kyle charging at her she frowned "So they find me now!" she muttered as she crossed her arms and turned away from them Tim reached her first.

"Where did you go?!"

"I left!"

"Why?"

Tim looked up at the mall cop not giving Becky a chance to answer, "I-Is something wrong?" he asked a surprising fear creeping up in his stomach the cop shook his head,

"Nothing she caught this kid trying to swipe a few diamond rings is all" The kid blew a strained of brown hair out of his face, Tim looked between them then let out a sigh.

"For A moment I thought you were in trouble"

Kyle caught up a moment later, "So you stopped a robbery huh?" he smiled at her "Why don't you let me interview you!"

Becky laughed taking it as a joke but stopped when Kyle pulled a small notepad and pen out of his pocket,

"What's you statement Beck?" he asked

Becky blinked "Umm...I just wanted to help..." she told him; Kyle nodded jotting it down "I'll get my dad to put you in the paper" he told her shoving the pad back into his pocket.

"Who's you dad?" Becky asked

Kyle laughed "Jack Ryder he is a television newscaster and reporter for a Gotham City TV station" he told her "But he has connections to the news paper"

The mall cop patted Becky on the head before heading down to his office with the kid, Kyle looked down at the watch on his hand,

'Crap sorry gotta go!" he told them as he ran passed them to the exit, Becky sighed as soon as he was out of sight.

"I really don't want to be in the paper.." she mumbled Tim shrugged "Don't worry about it miss. Pennyworth" he smiled at her, Becky scoffed.

"Let's go meet Alfred" Tim said "He might be waiting outside" Becky nodded and followed him out.

They resumed there positions in the car just as they were on there way there,

"Jack Ryder" Becky thought "Why does that sound so familiar...."
