▪TWENTY THREE▪

"Time?" I asked, trying to stretch my legs out. they were seriously starting to cramp up, I've been in the backseat for what feels like hours,

"45 minutes." Bruce said, obviously getting annoyed,

"Exactly?" I must of asked these two questions about 3 times already, he's probably regretting taking me to find Kiara,

"Warner, shut up." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"What are we going to do when we get there?" I asked,

"First things first is to find a place to stay, we can't stay in a motel because; one, nowhere for the Batwing and two, I can't stay in some run down motel, the press will be all over it."

"So we stay in like somewhere.. deserted?" I asked

Bruce nodded, "yep." He said

I looked out the tinted window, "That's gonna be kinda hard bats, it's a pretty big city.."

"I know, also; i'm batman. We'll have a place we can stay. Also I forgot to mention that we are meeting up with an ally of mine, he'll help with finding the girl."

"Who is he? Have i met him before?" I asked, cocking my head to the side

"Azreal. And what's with you and the questions? You're acting like a child." He muttered,

"Its the suit probably."

"I packed BlackBirds suit too, just in case you want to change."

"I might. Depends on the weather." I joked and Bruce growled, I can only imagine him rolling his eyes.

"What am I going to use as a weapon? Sure I'll have batarangs and my awesome combat, but what if that isn't enough?" I asked,

"You could use what BlackBird uses." Bruce shrugged,

"I thought you hated guns?"

"As long as there is no killing i'm fine."

"So no bullets?" I asked, kinda confused on how to effectively use a gun without bullets,

"Rubber bullets. Now shush, no more questions." Bruce huffed.

I pressed my lips together and glanced out the dark tinted windows, I couldn't see anything but foggy darkness, "did you bring any normal clothes?" I asked,

"What? I said no more questions." Bruce growled, I could see him looking back at me in the reflection of the window,

"Yeah, you know. Like everyday wear, not just our suits." I shrugged and sat back a little in my seat

"Yes, I did. Now please, I know you're bored but please, shut up."

"Fine whatever." I muttered to myself and crossed my arms over my chest and let out a sign.

Bruce groaned and pushed a button in front of him and the Batwing jolted forward,

"30 minutes," Bruce said "Exactly."

-

The rest of the way was silent. No noise expect for the sounds coming from the Batwing. We were less than 3 minutes away from the city, if I looked hard enough; i could see the faint lights through the fog. I was getting kinda tired and I didnt want to bother Bruce anymore.

I leaned forward a little bit and cleared my throat, "Hey did you pack my phone?" I asked, in a quiet voice

"under your seat should be a small compartment, check in there."

"Oh and one last thing? Do you think I will have good signal up here?" I asked, feeling around under my seat,

"You should be alright," Bruce shrugged, "why?" He asked,
