The Dark Truth

New Day: Chapter 5

As I woke up the next morning at six o clock, I knew today would be better. I spent most of my morning on the laptop of mine trying to find more information on Gotham. It was shocking, to say the least.

I have been cooking for the past few minutes waiting for Selina to get up.

As soon as I put the bacon on the pan I hear Salina get up and run over to me. "Bacon?!" I giggle and nod my head, "yup, go wash up and you can have all the bacon." She quickly runs to the bathroom and I wait to hear her turn the shower on. As soon as I do I sneak over to where her phone is.

The first thing I see is messages from an unknown number and a numbered passcode.

"Dammit!" I mumble in aggravation as I try to think. I quickly put 3150 and it doesn't work. I seriously thought it was her birthday. I put in my birthday next, 0107 and it unlocks. I quickly skim over everything in her phone and the unknown number seemed to be the only thing she had.

I look through the messages and it seemed to be a man asking her to meet him.

"Look, you need to meet me. I have some information." ~unknown

"I'm busy, I told you a friend just moved back." ~kittycat

"Oh I remember, question, what were you two doing at the jokers?" ~unknown

Before I can read anymore I hear the water turn off. I run back to see my bacon burnt and I throw it away sadly. I quickly cook up a few more as I hear her walk out. "Why does it smell like burnt bacon?!" Selina runs to me and I giggle. "Nose of a bloodhound. I burnt a few pieces chill." We both giggle as she goes over to her phone.

I look over my shoulder to see her texting what I can assume is the mystery man. I finish the bacon and put all the food on the table. "Hey, cat?" I look away as I say her name. She walks over towards me and smiles, "yea?" I look towards her as I put on a smile. " did you know there was a vigilante here? Well of course you did, you live here. What's up with that dude,  Batman? Was it." I see her shift uncomfortably as she makes her food. "Some freak in a costume I'm guessing." I look at her for anything else but she stays silent after that. I make my plate and giggle, "well there seems to be a lot of those, a scarecrow? Bane? Catwoman."

She goes stiff and I know the truth. "Where did you get all this info? Nevermind, I've got to go, I'm taking the plate." She rushes out after grabbing her stuff and I sigh.

I eat some food and get dressed, it's already 8 and today's my first day of work. I put on my black pencil skirt and button-up white shirt that hugs me perfectly. I go to the bathroom and take out my contacts and puts my glasses on to make me look smarter. Yes, I wear contacts, I have bad vision and I hate it. I put my hair up in a professional/ messy bun. I wear my tights and put on my black work heels that have red on the bottom. I look in the mirror one last time and grabs my work bag before leaving.

~time skip~

I get out of the taxi and walk into the Wayne tower. I sign in and the front desk person points me in the right direction. I go to the elevator and press to the top floor. As the door opens I see a desk and behind it, two big doors, which I'm guessing leads to Mr. Wayne's office. As I'm about to knock on the door it opens to reveal the one person I wasn't expecting.

"Selina?" She gasps and giggles awkwardly. "I forgot today was your first day! Well, I was just talking with Bruce, I'll be out of your way. See ya later?" As she walks away I nod my head towards her and she rushes out.

I look to the doors and there's the handsome, tall, surprisingly buff Bruce Wayne. I smile and he gives me a warm smile back as he speaks with a rough voice, "Hello, Lizzy, Right? You know Ms. Kyle?" He holds out his hand and I shake it as I nod my head. "Yes, and yes she's my best friend." His face seems to pale as I say that and he nods, "you just moved here right?" I look at him a bit confused but smiles, "yea but I lived here when I was younger. That's how I know Selina."

He moves aside to let me in, "of course. Please come in. Take a seat."

I smile and whisper a quick thank you as I walk into the huge office. Behind his desk was just windows showing off the city of Gotham. He has a chess board to the left and bookshelves everywhere. I sit in a seat in front of his desk and cross my legs. He walks to his desk and leans/ sits on the front near me.

"So, Lizzy, this isn't a permanent solution as I've said before but we need to see where we have openings. You said you're interested in the asylum?" I smile and nod my head yes as I speak, "yes I studied as I psychiatrist while I was still in high school, I even worked at a small asylum after school and on weekends." Bruce nods his head and starts looking at a file that I'm assuming is mine. "Your very skilled, we'd be happy to have you at Arkham asylum but as I said before, were packed. You are okay with being a secretary until we place you, yes?" He smiles down at me and I look up at him, "yes of course. " he stands up to which I do the same and we shake hands again.

We start to walk out of his office as we talk. "Wonderful, well here is your desk, you will get me a coffee, black, every morning. You will assort files and paperwork and anything not too important you will sign, regulate who comes in and out and whatever else I say. And you can call me Bruce, I don't like being too formal." I smile as I get behind the desk and look at where I'll be working. I look at him smiling, "thank you, Bruce. I will get to work immediately." He nods his head and goes back to his office. I sit down and start on some paperwork.

*kind of boring I'm sorry, hope y'all enjoyed. Bruce Wayne at top*
