The White Knight // Batman

Chapter Seventeen

Dear Batman,

I had just found something out, something awful. I am an alien. I'm scared, I don't know what in the heck is happening to me. Apparently, my father isn't dead. He is actually his true self. It's weird...its like we use the fear. We are fear. So do you have an alien? Does everyone have an alien on them? I know that God and demons and that stuff ...I don't understand this Batman, I hate this! I was normal! I was just a girl! A confused girl that needed guidance. Apparently, since my mother didn't want me out of the house...then I couldn't be my alien form. I need the anger...to fuel this.I don't understand. And now, my dad lives in the darkness.

I need to talk to you, face to face, I need comfort in this situation. Bruce, Dick, Barbra...even Alfred, they won't understand this. I know that you would though. Do you deal with this kind of stuff all the time, don't you? I mean ever since Superman came to this earth a lot of weird things happened. But please, PLEASE help me! I don't want to be evil! I want to be just like you!

I was crying again. All of this was frustrating. After Bruce and Dick came home, I was asleep. I could hear Alfred talking to them from somewhere in the house. Apparently, he couldn't see my father. I guess I can turn invisible as well, it's just my flesh that was making it hard for me to do. I wanted to ask my father so many questions but I couldn't. I didn't know where he was, what I am doing, or when he was ever going to come back. I stood and came out of my room and went down to the stairs and went down to the front door. I slipped on my jacket, well Dick's jacket, and went to open the front door but Alfred came inside the huge room.

"Where are you going, Miss? Isn't it late to go out?" He asked me.

I shrugged.

"I need answers," I said.

"If it's the Bat you seek, may I suggest you call Jim Gordon? After all, he has been asking about you. And he also knows him,"

"Doesn't Bruce Wayne know him too?" I turned around and asked him. He had a look of shock on his face but he nods. He stands on his tiptoes and then back on his feet again as if he was nervous.

"I guess you can say that, miss,"

"It's Jasper." I blurted.

"I'm sorry, Jasper," He said bowing a little. He was very respectful but it was getting on my nerves. I guess seeing Jim Gordon wasn't a bad idea. He had shown me to Batman before. I thanked Alfred for his time and again went to the front door and turned the door handle, but that's when I heard something I thought I would never hear in my life.

"She's gaining on us,"

"Who said that?" I whirled around and saw Alfred standing there with a wireless phone in his hand. He looked up at me with confusion.

"Excuse me?" He asked, "I hadn't said anything.

"Dick...dick said she's gaining on us. Where is he?"

Alfred blinked.

"I-I'm sorry, Miss Jasper. I don't know what you're talking about."

I rolled my eyes and told him I would be back later and went out the door.

I swear I am going crazy.
