I'm just a kid with, I wasn't cut out for the hero gig. In all honesty I wanted to become an art teacher. From as long as I could remember I was always bad at sports. I was a weak child I mean my name even meant weak. But somehow I got in this position. Here let me rewind to when I was four.

"Dad Dad look what I found," I screamed to my dad.

"What is it you know I'm busy."

I than held out my dainty, little hands and inside them was a little lady bug.

"Isn't he just the cutest."

Suddenly my dad grabbed my wrist making me drop Joe (the ladybug) and carried me by my wrist to the bath tub. He pushed me in the tub and turned the water on.

"Take a bath!" My father's scream broke my heart. So I cried and cried, It's not like I knew how to take a bath but if I did I wouldn't do it. I sat in the tub with the water ruining my pretty dress mother had gotten me. Hours later my dad came in to see a flood on the floor.

"Linda!" My dad shouted. He pulled me out and smacked me. Suddenly I was in my room. The door handle had one of those child proof things on it and I was locked in my room. No one came to see me again the rest of the day, so that meant no lunch or dinner. Not like he cared. If mother was here she would have treated this differently. But mother had died giving birth to my younger sister who also died with mother, it was just me and dad.

My hand went right across his face.

"Get away from him," I yelled at the boy. The boy being my friend Dick's bullies.

"Oh come on Linda, why are you even hanging out with him, I mean a cute girl like you should hang with us." A smirk appeared on his face.

I could feel my blue eyes getting madder. Tim (the bullies) walked closer moving my straight blond hair out of my face. I quickly slapped his hand away.

"Fine till next time." He said walking away.

"Dick oh my god are you okay." I ran over to him as he laid on the ground.

"I'm fine I'm fine, I've been through worse."

"Yeah I know, you're a real dummy getting yourself hurt like that." A huge sigh came out of my mouth.

"Let's hurry up and go home we still have the project to do."

"It's all about home work with you, I know Mr.Wayne doesn't let you have a second to rest does he."

"You have no idea."

As we walked home cars passed by us and of course Dick was trying to act all strong as always.

"I'm just saying if dislike is the opposite of like than disaster is the opposite of aster."

"So turb is a word."

"Yeah you got the hang of it."

I giggled at his silliness. He laughed back.

When we got to his house I saw Mr. Wayne talking to Alfred.

"Dad Linda and me are working on the project."

"Yeah about that, Wally's here." Mr. Wayne said sort of with disgust. 

Dick must have noticed because he said, "You don't seem gusted."

I rolled my eyes and dragged him to the kitchen. There sat Wally drinking the milk right out of the can.

"Wally what are you doing here." Dick said with more disgust.

"Well I heard Linda was gonna be here so I had to see the girl Dick keeps talking about."

Suddenly dick elbowed Wally in the stomach. To my surprise it seemed to hurt him. Is Dick actually really strong.

I started to giggle, "So I'm popular."

"Vary much so."

Dick jabbed him in the stomach again and I laughed even more.

"You guys are really good friends aren't you."

The both nodded in union.

"I'm gonna be right back, the bathrooms this way right?" I said pointing to my left.

"Yeah."

As I was walking to the bathroom there was a door slightly open. And of course I had to look at it. I slowly crept my way in and turned the light switch on.

My eyes fixated on something truly terrifying. I looked around and everywhere I looked was weapons. My eyes scrolled around as I soon saw a costume, it was black and gray. Yeah you guessed it, Batman.

"Linda It's not what you think," Dick's voice rang behind me.

All I could do was scream, so I did.
