Chapter 12: A Knight of Shadows

Hello everyone! Thank you so much to those who have reviewed the story and messaged me, it really means a lot. Please keep sending in your reviews, whether or not they are just to let me know that you like it, or if you want to see anything specific. I will try my best to work with you.

I did have one question come up. Someone asked me if I was going to do the episodes "Kids Stuff" and "This Little Piggy" and the answer is yes! I am definitely planning on doing both of these episodes, but they obviously won't come until later.

Just a heads up, I'm probably go straight to "Savage Time" and just skip "Metamorphosis". I didn't really like that episode and I am super pumped to be getting to season 2 already.

Thanks so much for sticking with the story! 3 Don't forget to review!

Chapter 12- A Knight of Shadows

I don't understand how I always let myself get dragged into situations. I never thought I was a pushover, but I guess I am. At least when it comes to one person.

I was lying in bed, hoping to get a few hours of sleep. I didn't think that was such a hard thing to ask for, considering that I had worked a double monitor shift the day before. I hadn't even gotten a full 5 hours of sleep before my communicator woke me up.

"This better be super important," I growled into it, mentally cursing the person who dared to wake me up.

"I wouldn't say it's super important, but you should get down here."

Of course, only Batman would be brave enough to wake me up early.

Groaning, I rolled out of bed and blindly stumbled around my room looking for a fairly clean uniform, knowing that if he was waking me up it had to be something somewhat important. "What happened?"

I could hear his car engine roar in the background so I figured that he was on his way to the scene. "Another antique bookstore was broken into. That's the third one this week."

As I was hopping around in the dark trying to get my leggings pulled up, I recalled the earlier cases. "That's right. They were broken into but nothing was taken."

"We should investigate it some more. Hurry up, I'm downstairs."

"Wait, what?" I asked him, walking over to the window and looking out. Sure enough his Batmobile was parked outside of my apartment building. "Seriously?"

I heard Bats sigh on the other end. "Just hurry up," He said before he shut off the com link. I rolled my eyes, pulled my hair up into a ponytail and double timed it so that I was downstairs within the minute. I walked over to the car and opened up the passenger door.

I had no sooner closed the door before we were off, heading towards downtown Gotham. "Took you long enough. I was afraid one of your neighbors was going to see us," Bats said, glancing over to me.

"Bats, it's 2 in the morning. No one is looking out their windows. They are all asleep, like I should be."

Bats only chuckled before he parked the car. "We're here." We both go out and walked over to the side of the building. Without asking permission, he grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him before he used one of his grappling hooks to shoot to the top of the building.

Once we landed he walked away like nothing happened, but I actually had to catch my breath for a minute. Whether it was from going so fast, or just being in close contact with him, I wasn't sure.

Once I got my slamming heartbeat under control, I walked over to the skylight to see that one of the windows was already pushed opened. I gently slid through the window and landed silently on my feet.
