I am shaken awake by cat to find myself at a dock. I see the taxi driver is waiting for me to get out impatiently. I stumble out of the car and cat seems aggravated as well. The taxi drives away and I look around the crummy dock to see it's empty. I also see the sun is starting to rise and I realise how much time has gone by. It seems like it was still yesterday. I look to cat as she's looking around. "Hey selina, what are we doing here?" She sighs and looks at me, I'm sure I look like a wreck and remember I'm still in Harleys night cloths. She walks over to me stomping her heels as she speaks, "were meeting bats here, but he's late! I swear, he never seems to be on time." As she says that I hear the roaring of an engine only to see a slick black...car? It's what I can only assume is the batmobile. The man himself jumps out of the batmobile and walks over to us in a brooding manner. "Speaking of the devil, what took you so long?" Batman looks at me and I look away feeling intimidated, which I don't know why because I don't feel that way towards j and he's threatened me, but this man has done nothing. He looks back at cat and with a scratchy growl says, "got caught up with other things. What's with the blue and the outfit?" Bats nods to me and I play with my hair as I realize not all the blue came out. Selina sighs and walks to me, "long story." She hugs me and whispers, "he's not as scary as he seems." I look over to see him brooding at us and I whisper back, "I doubt that." We giggle and she waves as she disappears among the buildings surrounding the docks. I follow Batman to his car and gets in. As I look around I see many different buttons and it's completely black and sleek. "Put this on." I jump at the sound of his voice and look to his hand to see a blindfold. I raise an eyebrow and he sighs but it sounds strange, it made me realize he's using a voice changer, "look I can't let everyone know where the batcave is, especially if they are affiliated with the joker." I look at him a bit angrily as I rip the blindfold out of his hand and puts it on as I smirk, "just don't be angry with me if I get car sick."

Bam! I'm on the floor again. It's been an hour of me and Batman sparring. He calls it "seeing what I've got" but I call it "let's beat the shit out of lizzy till she bleeds." Bats gave me workout leggings and a tank top and I've put my hair into a pony tail. I get back up to hear him growl to me "come on! From what catwoman has said you have a lot more fight in you then this!" I get back into fighting position as we circle each other a bit. I go to throw a punch but he quickly bobs out of the way and lands a punch to my stomach pushing me back. As I stumble I look up to see him stretching a bit as he growls back out, "if you want to protect yourself you have to at least be able to throw a punch! Cat said you use to protect her and isley, now you can't even protect yourself, cant even protect harley!" I growl as I get back in fighting position and so does Batman. He's the first to throw a punch this time and I easily dodge it. He goes to punch my stomach and I catch his fist and goes to kick his feet out from beneath him but he jumps. I quickly get up instantly having to dodge another punch, he throws another and I dodge again and throw a roundhouse kick to the head and he stumbles back a bit. As he's stunned I elbow him in the face and the grabs his head and slams it on my knee, he stumbles a bit and nods in approval. I'm breathing hard and I smile a bit as he walks over to me. "That's what I expected from you. I've heared so much, I'm glad I could see what cat has said." I nod my head and look away, Batman coughs and crosses his arms. "Time for real practice, have any talents I should know about?" I smirk as I think and puts my hand on my hip, "well I use to do gymnastics and ballet." He smiles and walks over to a cabinet in the room I can only assume has fighting supplies in it. He opens it and turns around to show padding for your arms and legs. "Gear up, you'll need it."

By the time I got home I dropped the bag of supplies and practice things in and dropped onto the couch. I instantly thought about the first time I learned to fight, my dad taught me when I was young. It was one of my fondest memories with my dad, since most of the time he was gone or drunk. He had a friend that taught classes on defending yourself and he made his friend teach me for free. It helped when I was on the streets, I never knew when I'd have to fight. I roll onto my back and lazily takes my shoes off as I get comfortable. I can see the city from the huge window and the way the lights sparkle onto the dark night sky made me feel relaxed and sleepy. As I start falling asleep I see the sign of a man who has helped me so much in one day. Thank you Batman, but I pray I won't have to use what you've taught me anytime soon. I fall into a nightmare filled night once again.
