Flying with Bats

Chapter Two

(Skyler)

Bruce is the first person I've met that actually is a father to us with a heart that wants to keep us and not kill us.

"Skyler, what is it with you and Grayson? He's staring at you like he likes you." Jet asked me. We go to school at Gotham Academy. We're looking for my best friend in the whole wide world, Conner Kent. His girlfriend, Megan, is so amazing. She's like another sister to me.

"Nothing, now where's Conner?" I urged to change the subject. Technically, nothing was going on with Dick and I, but Jet didn't need to know that we knew each other. Someone came up behind me and picked me up. I squeaked until I saw Conner. He was laughing at me. I pouted and I saw Dick glaring at Conner. I giggled and blew a kiss at him. He blushed and walked away. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Conner.

"Hey, what's new Blue?" Conner asked. He called me Blue for obvious reasons. My hair's blue of course.

"Not much. Guess what!" I said in excitement. He pretended to think about it.

"You're finally giving up crazy blue hair theories?" he guessed. I shook my head and swat him on the head.

"No. We finally got adopted." I told him. He growled. He's very protective.

"By who?" Megan came up and asked. I laughed at her excitement.

"Bruce Wayne." I told them. Megan cheered and Conner freaked out.

"What? No! Do you even know how much of a playboy he is?" he freaked at me. I stuck out my tongue and walked to my class. He's in all of my classes. This way, I can cheat off of him. Just kidding. He's more like a brother to me. Plus, I don't cheat.

"Earth to Sky." Conner teased, waving his hand in front of my face. I realized I zoned out and blushed. Conner, Megan, and Jet laughed. I flipped them the bird and stormed off to my locker. Jet caught up immediately.

"You know, if you're not busy, we could go patrolling tonight." Jet offered. My eyes went wide and I smiled. I loved fighting crime. Especially with Jet. We worked like a well oiled machine. I nodded quickly and he grinned.

"This is going to be so fun. We can avoid the Batman like always. Working right under his nose to take down the Joker. This is going to be like old times." I said with excitement. I hooked his arm around me and we walked to class. One more class and then we're out. Woohoo!

~~~~TIME JUMP TO TONIGHT~~~~~~

When it was time to suit up for patrolling, I made sure nobody would bother me. I told them I was studying. Bruce was nowhere to be seen though. Nor Dick or Tim. What the heck?! Oh well.

"Ready Aqua?" Jet asked. Oh, I forgot. I'm Aqua and Jet is Falcon. I nodded. We used the shadows to get to our hide-out. We turned on Auto (our computer) and he brought up the closest crime on the scanner. Firefly was robbing a bank. We gave our little signal and got to the scene. He was already gone, or so we thought.

"Cute girl and free money? How lucky am I?" I heard a voice say. Then, I was scooped up and flown into the air. Firefly. I forgot that he's a playboy.

"Put me down, you idiot, before I blast you!" I yelled at him while hitting his metal covered chest with my fists. He stopped and dropped me. I landed on a building roof and hit my back pretty hard. I must've hit my head, too. I'm having a hard time seeing straight and staying conscious.

"Skyler!" was the last thing I heard before I passed out. It sounded like male voices. Maybe Jet and someone else.

(Bruce)

Firefly was robbing a bank. I found this out on the Batwave. When I got to the crime scene, Firefly was taking off with a hostage. She had blue hair and was yelling. Firefly finally dropped her and she landed on a roof building. Nightwing didn't see her, so he kept going after Firefly and I stopped to get the girl. I went up to the rooftop to see a girl who looked like Skyler.
