The White Knight // Batman

Chapter Seven

Dear Batman,

I actually made it to Gotham in one piece! I am really excited, actually, I really hope I meet you. I really like you. I always have. You have always seemed to be sweet and gentle to others. I never saw you as a bad guy. I always saw you as a good guy. Also, I think you're really cute...hee-hee! Anyways, I am now going to see Commissioner Gordon so that I can tell you what I had seen in the window. It was so scary, I saw The Penguin. I had never seen anything like him before. I saw the evil in his eyes. I saw the terror that he was showing.

I hope to see you, Batman.

Yours forever,

Jasper Long.

I closed my notebook as soon as we reached the police station. My heart was racing against my chest. I was about to meet the hero of my life. I was going to meet this man who had put his life in more dangers and I was going to tell him about my sister who was gone. I was scared, I was beyond nervous and I didn't know what to think. I loved Batman, he was an amazing person and I was scared. What if everything I think about Batman was wrong?

"Jesus," I whispered, "I need to Your peace on this. Please help me through this. I need help with meeting Batman..." I didn't know what else to pray. But, I did feel God's love through me and I was happy that I did. I got out of the car, happiness spreading through me. I walked up the steps and into the police doors. I swallowed hard and asked the man at the front if I could talk to Commissioner Gordon. He rose an eyebrow and spoke through his radio on his shoulder and Jim Gordon actually told me that I could come and see him. I was happy, excited and nervous. Very nervous.

I followed the police officer who was in front of me. He was asking me about who this was regarding and I told him what had happened to me and my sister. I was nervous so I was stuttering like crazy and trying to calm down but everything was getting worse. My head started to bring in the darkness and I was getting scared. What was I supposed to do? I didn't have my parents with me nor my meds. There was that and the prisoners that were taunting me. I saw them, I saw their evil faces.

I gripped onto the officer's arm and he put his arm around me.

"They won't hurt us," He explained to me. I nod but stand close to him. Eventually, we were able to find Jim Gordon in his office. The officer brought me inside and left me alone with Jim. He shut the door and I let out a big breath. I was standing there shaking.

"Yes? You alright?" He asked seeing my pale face.

I wasn't even sure.

"I....I saw Mr. Panguine...s-steal my sister...kind of I um..."

God, now I was about to cry, "Batman..."

I was having a panic attack, I wasn't sued to talking to people. My mom said that I never went to school and I was homeschooled, my brain developed slower than other children so when I spoke or was around others, I was a scared teenager than a young adult. I wasn't strong like people and they could see it. Which is why I was home all the time.

"Here," He pulled out a chair, "Sit down." I did and he knelt in front of me and grabbed my hands, "You're safe here, honey," He said with his gentle, fatherly voice. I nod and took in deep breaths and took a sip of the water he had given me. So, again, I explained everything. I told him about Panguine walking away from my sisters bedroom window. I explained what he looked like and Jim told me that it was him. I told him how I wanted to tell Batman. Jim Gordon sat there and took a deep breath, thinking about it over and over again. After a few moments of holding my breath, he said these simple words that made my world.

"Alright," He said staning up, "But don't tell anyone I did this for you," He smiled and took me up to the roof to see my hero.
