No one POV.

No one, not even the Waynes would suspect a rat of being a spy. Or so you should think, Lester followed the youngest of the Waynes around the city for a entire day and had no problems doing so. Mostly because Gotham really has a massive rat problem, anyways that changed rather quickly once they came to Wayne Manor.
Lester equally how hard he tries finds no way into the Manor, which frustrates the rat to no end. Normally he could get into any house even Manors, so why couldn't he get in this one!

Lester :,,Stupid Humans."

What Lester didn't know was that he was being watched.

Damian :,,See!"

Damian points at Lester who was visible to the CCTV Cameras.

Damian :,,That thing has been following me the entire day already."

Dick :,,Is that one of Ratcatchers?"

Tim shakes his head :,,I don't think Flannegan (Ratcatcher) would only send one rat. He would send several."

Jason :,,Should I kill it?"

Bruce :,,No leave it be, maybe after it realises that it can't get in it will return to where it came from."

Damian :,,We follow it?"

Bruce just nods as he keeps his eyes on the screen.



The sun was already setting as Lester finally decided to go back to Will.

Lester :,,The boss won't be happy."

Will had promised him more parmesan meatballs for this job and he was pretty sure that Will wasn't interested in how many windows the Manor has. Well atleast he got a little bit of information as he was following the youngest Wayne. But sadly it wasn't much, the only thing he learned from him was about a guy named Alfred and what they get for dinner tonight. Nothing what Will wanted, well maybe he still gets the meatballs.

Lester :,,Finally!"

Lester was standing infront of Will's window and saw the blonde sitting on his desk doing something. He tapped on the window to get the attention of the Son of Apollo, Will hearing the taps turns around and smiles as he sees the rat. He quickly walks over and opens the window for Lester to let him in.

Will :,,So what did you find out?"

Will asked after Lester made himself comfortable on Will's bed.

Lester :,,Not much. I was following the youngest Wayne around all day with no problems but I wasn't able to get into their house. That thing is more of a fortress then a house."

Will :,,Did you learn anything interesting while following the other one?"

Lester :,,Not really. All I learned was a name and what they will have for dinner but nothing else."

There was a silence in the room with Will having a thoughtful expression on his face.

Lester :,,Ahm.... do I still get the meatballs?"

Will sighed as he closed his eyes :,,They are on the table."

Lester :,,Yes! Thank you!"

Lester quickly went over to the table while Will rubbed his face, taking the first meatball Lester turned to Will.

Lester :,,Maybe he smells of that Lazarus water because he was in contact with someone who took a bath in it?"

Will shakes his head :,,Unlikely, the smell was strong and clear. If he only was in contact with one who took a bath in Lazarus Water then the smell would be faint. But his was strong...... to strong."
