AFTER MINUTES OF WAITING the door slowly opened to reveal a man, he wore a hat and he eyes where fixed to the ground.
"Excuse me, who are you?" She asked trying to look at the man.
He let out a low chuckle before looking up meeting her eyes. She stepped back, clutching her knife tighter.
She asked in shock "Why?"
"I shall explain once we sit down, now please. Come in," he replied stepping out of the way for Lilith.

"So why am I here?" She asked placing down her cup.
"Well Lilith, your past is truly spectacular. I believe if we join together we might just be the greatest pair in Gotham," he explained pouring more tea in his cup.
"Look I don't know what you know about my past but I will not help you," she spat.
"Lilith I can assure you that you will be safe with me. I want to unleash the darkness that you try to push down ever so deeply. I want that fire, that determination. I want it all."
Lilith say there stunned by Jervis' words, she stared down at her cup trying to wrap her head around it all.
'He's using you'
"He's not."
'Oh but he is, he only wants to mess with you, he will through you away before you can say schizo.'
"I-i can't," she stutters.
"May I ask why?" He said leaning slightly forward.
She took a deep breath in and gazed down before looking back up to meet his chocolate colour. His eyes became the key to her secrets, she found her self talking about them.
"I have, I have these voices every since I was a kid. I don't know how to control them, no body could".
"Well except from my Brother, Sam. He always knew how to calm me down and distract me from them."
Jervis just stared into her eyes, feeling a sense of connection to the girl in front of him.
She slowed looked up, and saw his face of confusion of stillness.
"I'm sorry for laying my problems on you like that, it was quite stupid of me." She apologises
"Lilith, you can trust me. The voices are evil things to try and distract you from what most important.
I know you have suffered great loss, as I have but that's what makes us stronger, the pain and the suffering reunites is with strength."
Feeling a slight connection from his words. She slowly processes his offer, she thought about all the people who have let her down in life, the ones who didn't stand by her side, or the ones who didn't even ask how she was. She was ultimately alone, all her friends family, dead. But what if this was the opportunity the would lead to greater things, things that would build her life back up again. To rebuild bonds broken and create relationships with new people. Her thoughts wrapped up into one small word.
"Yes."
