The Tale Of Becky Quinn

Enter: Dick Grayson

Becky decided to keep her TV on 'GCN News' for the rest of the night, changing into her Pajamas she waited to hear that updates on her father.

There were but he was the main focus she bit her lip when the subject of the Jokers daughter came around again, She hoped Bruce wouldn't sell her out speaking of Bruce she hadn't seen him in awhile, she slipped off her bed and walked in to the upper hallway she stopped for a moment and glanced down the hall to a lone door that stood at the end.

"Wonder what's behind that ..." she muttered to herself as she started to walk toward it, she stopped mid-way something was telling her to open it but another was telling her to leave it alone.

Of course she listened to the most reasonable one. She opened the door.

The room was pretty simple a small study, Becky slowly inched inside and looked around. With only the moonlight she could barley see anything but she made out a lamp on the desk, she walked over to the desk and turned on the lamp.

The first thing she noticed when the lamp light up was the large portrait that hung above a fireplace, she walked closer to the picture and read the worlds that were gold plated above it.

"Thomas and Martha Wayne" Becky stared at the portrait for a moment "His mother is so beautiful" she muttered "Thank you" A voice behind her said, Becky gasped and turn around.

"Bruce?" she asked the man smiled as he leaned in the doorway, "Last time I checked" he said as he walked over to her.

Becky smiled nervously ay him "I-I hope I'm not in a room that I shouldn't be in..." she mentally face palmed "Stupid..." she thought, Bruce shook his head "Not really this door is usually locked so it isn't your fault"

Becky kept her nervous smile as Bruce leaned against his desk, "But I've been meaning to talk to you" Becky gulped quietly and nodded Bruce smiled, Becky felt her cheeks burn there was no denying that he was a handsome man.

"W-what is it?" she asked avoiding eye contact with him, Bruce cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck "Well...nothing..." he told her "I mean you haven't asked for anything..."

Becky blinked "I...don't understand" she said "Should I start asking for stuff..." Bruce stiffened "No...I mean...do you want anything...books...shoes...I don't know...dolls?" he asked making eye contact with her again, Becky tilted her head but didn't say anything.

Bruce sighed "....And about your father..." he said pushing away from his desk and walking over to her, Becky gulped again as she looked up at him "Here it comes..." Becky thought "I'm sending you to blah blah blah because I'm scared of your father"

But when Bruce kneeled down in front of her "...I don't want you to be scared...he wont get to you" he told her "I'll have the best police on watch if need be" he told her, Becky gasped.

"You would do that...for me?" she asked Bruce nodded "Why wouldn't I?" he asked "Because of who your parents are?" he gave her another smile "Your becoming a part of this family and a part of this family is always protected from danger" he told her placing his hands on her shoulders.

Becky smiled and jumped forward and wrapped her arms around him "...Thank you Bruce!" she hugged him tightly ".....Thank you" Bruce awkwardly placed his hands on her back "Of course" he told her.

Becky let him go and took a deep breath "Sorry" she laughed Bruce stood up and shook his head "its fine...Now back to the first question...do you want anything? You haven't asked for anything ...trust me you wont break my bank" he told her.

Becky smiled "...well I did want to get few things...." she muttered fiddling with her fingers, Brice smiled "Great how dose five hundred sound?" he asked placing a hand on her back and leading her to the door.

Becky shook her head "F-five hundred dollars?" she asked "T-that's way too much!" she told her, Bruce shook his head "Go get some sleep and tomorrow you can go to the mall" he told her "Trust me you are not going to break my bank."

Becky nodded "Thanks!" She said "I-I pay that back somehow!" she told him "I promise!" Bruce shook his head "You don't have to!" he said "Now it's late get some sleep alright?" Becky cut herself off and nodded.

"Goodnight Bruce" she said as she walked to her room, Bruce smiled as he closed and locked the door and walked over to an old grandfather clock and turned it to "10:47" and it opened to reveal the entrance to the batcave.

"That was to close" he muttered to himself as he walked down "I can't let her find out" he said as he seated himself in front of the computer and started looking for the Joker .

"What took you Bruce?"

Bruce didn't even jump at the voice "Dick..." he said turning in his seat to face his former sidekick "What are you doing here?" he asked.

Dick stood leaning against the costume holders glaring, "I heard you picked up some scum" he said walking over to him "Just wanted to stop by and see if it's true" he growled.

Bruce turned back to the computer "Barbra?" Bruce asked Dick said nothing "Why?" Dick asked "After all the shit her parents did why take her in?" he demanded turning the chair back to face him.

"Because I wanted to give her a chance" Bruce told him "You haven't met her get to know her she isn't like them" he told him, Dick sneered "Joker didn't give Jason a chance" That made Bruce stiffen.

"He didn't get to know him! Why give her that chance!?" Dick demanded again, Bruce closed his eyes "Enough why are you here?" he asked "Give me a straight answer"

Dick took a deep breath and walked away from him "Heard you were leaving town after this month thought I lend a helping hand" he said walking out of the batcave to the home entrance, "And through I'd get to know that scum" he spat.

Bruce sighed and turned back to the computer "I will keep her safe..I couldn't save Jason...but I'll save her" he thought.
