Fishes and Birds (nightwing x oc)

Boarding School?

While reading: 'Beautiful boy' -Jhon Lennon

A little warning: this chapter contains a creepy fella. If that is triggering to you there is a warning when to skip!

I put on some slow songs to get her to fall sleep faster and kissed her on her forehead. "Go to sleep pinki."

Pinki is my nickname for her, because I used to always compare her size to my pinki finger.

"You have school tomorrow" I whispered "okay." she wisperd back.

I closed the door behind me and sighed.

She really doesn't deserve this life, she's not made for Gotham, she's sweet and smart and I hope we one day have enough money to move away from here.

But now I'm focusing on getting her a good education. I'd love an education as well maybe something in art or medicine, but it's too expensive.

Sophies very gifted even now at six I can tell she's a Bruce Wayne in the making, who she's weirdly obsessed with.

As for me, I'm more creatively smart and am not great academically.

I've been homeschooling myself for a few years now. It's not great but its more than some kids I know.

Most of the people in our small building are in the same boat as me and my sister, kids with no parents and no legal way of income. A lot of Gotham is that way so I truly have no right to complain.

2014 Nov.1

The door swung open followed by a bang of the door hitting the wall, I jumped up and got into a fighting position but I relaxed and slipped back into my chair after realizing it was Sophie.

Sophie ran towards me sitting at the dining table slapping a piece of paper on the table.

 "dala! dala! look my teacher gave me this. please tell me I can go! please please please" she begged in pure enthusiasm.

I looked down at the paper she slapped on the table to see a poster, of a boarding school in France.

"Sophie, you know we can't afford that." I said while reading the rest of the poster.

 "but dala it's a highly respected school for young geniuses! and my teacher said that with my grades i would be able to get in! it would be life changing." Sophie defended.

 "I get that sis, and I would love to have you go there but we can't afford it. Working as Siren makes us enough to live comfortably, but we have different things we need to save up for."

 I said looking down not wanting to look Sophie in the eyes.

"but i can't join until i'm twelve, so we have two years to save up!" she said in a last-ditch effort to convince me.

 ''Pinki its 10k a year! And thats not even including uniforms, supplys and mutch more!" I said pointing at the costs shown on the poster

"so for your 6 years it would cost 60k! With Batman and Robin constantly on my tail it would take me at least four years to save that up, I'm sorry sis but it's not possible.'' I said

 ''okay'' Sophie sighed and walked to her room slamming her door shut.

I sighed heavily as I scanned the poster again l'acadèmie du chat blanc' The white cat academy, it sounds cooler in French.

I really want to send her there it seems perfect for her; I just have to find a way to earn more money, I can hardly earn more as Siren esspecially when Batman and is minions can't seem to leave me alone. And no part-time job will pay enough.

I have to get some air so I can think clearly.

''Sophie I'm going out for a walk I'll be back in a few minutes!'' I put on my headphones and put on some music.

Music always seems to help.

I stepped outside and let the cold misty air enter my nose.

This is your little warning

The streets were almost empty you could hear a pin drop I thougt to myself, which is weird for Gotham.

 I took my usual route of a few streets and was just about to turn around when I got shoved down on the street.

I landed on the cold hard pavement and when I looked up to see who shoved me, a man creeped towards me with a menacing grin plasterd on his face.

''What are you doing all alone missy?'' The man questioned grining like a predator looking at prey. 

What a fucking idiot, that of all poor girls he could have pushed he had the misfortune of choosing me. 

I opened my mouth and hit the highest note I could, his hands shot to his ears to try and stop the screeking from breaking his hearing but it didn't work, his ears started bleeding.

He fell to the ground and started screaming incorherently. 

I walked closer to him and pushed him with my foot on his back against the cold hard pavement that I was just laying on. Before he could utter a word I stomped his face with my boots. 

I bend down to his bleeding ear and screamed "If I ever see your face again you won't be so lucky as today!'' Making sure he heard me.

I stepped over his shaking body and walked back into the empty street.

It's over!

I hear a purr behind me and I automatically turn around expecting to see a stray cat or something but no...

A chill went up my body as I look at the woman decked out in black leather standing infront of me.

Catwoman.

Sorry for the short Chapter.
