(Sarah's P.O.V )

This is it. Me and Screech were finally leaving the orphanage and going to an actual home. A Mansion!

I quickly packed my things, and got into Mr. Wayne's limo, although he insisted that I just call him Bruce.

When we got to the mansion, We were greeted by an elderly man in a suit that looked just a fancy as Bruce's.

"Greetings, Master Bruce, I assume this is the young lady you gave adopted." He said in a British accent. "Yes Alfred, This is Sarah." Bruce said placing a hand on my shoulder.

Can we see what's inside now? My friend groaned.

"It's nice to meet you, Alfred could I be in mansion now?" I politely asked.

"Of course, Miss Sarah." Alfred kindly said.

I follow Bruce and Alfred into the Manor, Inside were four boys bickering over something.

I'm starting to have second thoughts, They're loud.

"Boys, stop!" Bruce shouted to them. "Now, I would like you to meet your new sister, Sarah."

They all looked like they were examining me, which was a bit unnerving, Me and Screech felt the same.

Until one of them spoke up, "Hi, I'm Richard but, you can call me Dick." He smiled. He seems to be a very happy and friendly guy.

"I'm Jason and I'm obviously the coolest." He grinned. Jason had a small white streak of hair, I wonder how that happened.

"Hi, I'm Tim." He said. He also seemed friendly but he also looked weary of me.

"I'm Damian." The smallest one said. He didn't seem to show much emotion, just a blank stare. It was strange.

After I was introduced to everyone, We had dinner and Alfred's cooking is fantastic, so much better than the slop at the orphanage.

After dinner I had to go to bed. I was escorted to a room there, I fell asleep.

====================================

(Middle of the night)

Sarah.

Wake up.

"What, Screech?" I stirred awake.

I'm hungry.

"Alright, I'll get you your precious chocolate." I whispered. I reached under the bed for the stash but, I couldn't feel anything. "Uh oh." I got up and quickly checked my bags. That's when I realized: I left all the chocolate back at the orphanage.

Did you seriously forget my chocolate?

"I'm sorry, okay? I can get you some more if you're that hungry."

Sounds like a plan, but I've heard that there's a lot of criminals in Gotham, so why not have that instead?

"But Screech, you promised me no killing."

Just one robber? My symbiote friend pleaded forming half a body and giving me their irresistible puppy dog eyes. Reluctantly, I obliged "Fine, but ONE robber, no more, understood?"

Understood, Dear Friend

As soon as they finished talking, Screech took over my body taking on the form of an adult female as we jumped from our window and swung into the city.
