The White Knight // Batman

Chapter Eight

I am standing there flipping on the switch for Batman. Commissioner Gordon was standing on the other side of the light with his hands on his hips with a chuckle.

"You're the first girl to ever do this you know?" He explained to me.

"Really?" He nods.

"He's going to look scary but he isn't, alright?" I nod. Jim was being really nice to me and knowing that I was up here with him and that I was going to see Batman. I was nervous, so nervous that I might throw up at any moment. But then, that's when I saw him. I saw the man that I had always wanted to see; my hero, even though he had never saved me before. He came from nowhere and landed on the roof. I stood there speechless as he slowly stood with his black cape around him. He stood in the moonlight, there was nothing but darkness on this man. But, the darkness made his eyes pop.

I swear my heart wasn't beating.

"What is it?" Batman asked, his voice was gruff and low. It sent shivers down my spine.

"This lady asked to see you personally. She has some incite on Penguin."

How in the world was I supposed to talk to Batman when he was standing right there and he was going to be closer to me. I don't know, I am just really nervous. He stood, came closer to me while the light that I had turned on went off by Jim. I swallowed hard and Batman stood there looking down at me. I couldn't speak, heck I couldn't even think.

"What happened?" Batman asked me.

"H-he...he took my sister...I-I think...she...she's...evil," I whispered looking down to my feet. So, I actually started to talk to him like I had been talking to him for a very long time. Actually, technically, I have been. He stood there and listened to me but when he did, the memories of my sister came into my head and it made my body ache and it was hurting. Then, the demons that had bothered me all these years, came back to me. Batman had turned into this evil that was trying to grab me. Jim was trying to help me but I knew that there was no helping left. I was trying to scream, trying to move, but I was frozen in place.

"Breath," Batman grabbed me as I fell. I couldn't breathe, they were suffocating me. Whatever was happening, they didn't want me to tell him much more about my sister. Did she poison me with something? Eventually, everything stopped. I closed my eyes and fell into a sleep that made me hear Batman tell Jim that I was in a lot of danger and that I needed somewhere to stay for the night until things could get better.

"She can stay with me," Jim says.

That's when I lost sense in everything.
