I'm really glad people gave the first chapter a chance. Thanks.

Bruce's PoV(2029)

"Keep up Robin!" I called out from behind me as we ran above the streets of Gotham. Jumping building to building.

"You know it's funny that you always repeat that!" He says from behind me.

I quickly grapple up to a taller building. And land on one of the many golems planted around Gotham.

Robin landed next to me.

"You know Bruce this past year and a bit has been fun and all..."

"It's been fun? Must not be doing this properly" I say with a light smirk.

"Hardy har har. But I'm being serious Bruce. I think it's time that I... That I..." he was interrupted by an alarm going off below us. I activated my enhanced vision in my cowl. A quick figure dressed in black ran passed right below us.

"Who was that!?" Robins asked behind me.

"Personal" I say.

"What are you talking about!?"

"Go back to the cave. I deal with her".

"Ugh fine but we need to talk!"

"After" I say as I jump off the skylight.

Robin leaves and I try catching up to her.

I was making good ground before I noticed her hand movement. She commonly did that particular thing with her hand  just before she threw something.

I was proven correct when her arm threw backwards a bunch of caltrops.

I quickly grappled above myself and boosted above her, gliding over her caltrops and right above her.

I quickly dive down. When out of nowhere she throws up another item I didn't have time to counter. Heat covered my eyes, blinding me temporarily. I landed unable to open my eyes.

"Dear me Batsy you made me take out my pepper spray you really shouldn't sneak up on a woman".

"Pepper spray grenade? Really!?" I ask.

"A kitty's gotta do what a Kitty's gotta do".

"But pepper spray!" I exclaim this really hurts. I heard a small giggle. An honest giggle, not an act like I know she puts on but actually Selina, the person who challenged me to hit her with a bagel with the reward of a kiss.

The giggle stops as she catches herself. Her charade back up. I stand back up with red eyes barely visible through my mask.

"You know if you ask nicely, I may just give these back to you" she says holding a pair of diamond necklaces.

"Or...." she trails off walking closer and placing her left leg on my right leg leaning closer and drawing her claws around my bat symbol.

"If you ask nicely I could give you something else" she says looking up her lips close to mine. Another charade but I know she'd do it.

She pretends she likes to use seduction as a weapon to distract men to steal what they want. But I know she never actually did anything with those men. But there was something different about this one. I could feel her racing heart even through our suits. She was nervous.

Before I could say anything a large amount of light appeared above us. We separated and got ready for a fight.

But two people dropped down. A boy in an altered robin suit and then a girl in purple robes dropped down with him.
