The Streets of Gotham (open)
Maria returned the bike she stole the night before. She had felt guilty about having to steal a bike, but it had been a long way back to Wayne Manor. Little did she know it wasn't the Wayne Manor she knew.

Talk about messed up. Waking up in a whole new world. This was going to take some getting used to.

She shoved her hands in her jacket pocket. Bruce had given her some cash for a cab back to Wayne Manor, but Maria wanted to see a little more of /this/ Gotham. She wanted to see what was the same and what was different. Maria was always a curious girl.

A light rain started to fall, but she continued to walk. Aimlessly walking was good for clearing one's head and she had a lot of clearing to do. Her parents, this world's versions, were still alive. A good portion of the night had been spent thinking about them and what they could be like. It was mind blowing to think they were alive.

She asked herself a million times already if she wanted to meet them. She honestly didn't know the answer to that. It was one of the big questions she would have to eventually answer.

Another one was what she was going to do if she couldn't go home. She had been trying to figure out what she wanted to do in that world and now she had a whole new world to learn about and figure out what to do it in if she stayed.

Maria sighed and continued to walk the streets of Gotham.

	Maria entered the Batcave and removed her mask. She flopped down in a chair. Her first act as a crime-fighter in this world and it had been a total failure. Maria sighed and leaned back in the chair. She should do some reading up on this world's heroes, but she didn't feel like doing it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The Batplane flew into the hangar in the Batcave, and Terry got out, taking off his mask. Then he saw someone sitting in a chair that wasn't Bruce, Maxine, or Marissa, and the mask went right back on. What the hell was she doing here? And more importantly, how the hell did she get in? Batman sprung at Maria, intent on tackling her to the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Batman succeeds in tackling her to the ground and he landed on top of her. She smiled up at him. "I usually get dinner first," she said cheekily before bringing a knee up toward his groin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thank God he was wearing a cup, or that would've been extremely painful. "What the hell are you doing here?" He demanded, throwing a bolo to wrap around her legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm really not into bondage that much," she said as she rolled to the side to avoid the bolo. "It's just not my kink." She sprang to her feet in a crouch. "I was relaxing until you decided to jump me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-20 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"You're not allowed here," Batman springing at her to try and tackle her again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have /permission/ to be here," she growled and waited for him to reach her. "I live here." She threw a punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-20 05:18 am UTC (link)
	He the punch connected and he staggered back a bit." Bullshit you do," he said, growling. "I know everyone that lives and lady, you sure as hell don't." He quickly regained his footing, throwing a punch of his own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2010-11-20 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	She tried to avoid the punch, but it hit her in the shoulder. There will be a nice bruise there later. Maria staggered back a few steps. She went for a leg sweep. "You don't know half as much as you think you do. I do live here. Didn't you get the memo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-20 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Batman flipped back to avoid the leg sweep. "Clearly, lady, you must be on something. There's no way in hell you could live here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You didn't get the memo. I told Bruce to send one out," she said as she charged in for a tackle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-20 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	The tackle connected, and Batman went to the ground. He shoved his weight forward to reverse it and pin Maria to the ground. "Spill," he snarled, "How the hell do you know Bruce?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	old_windbat 2010-11-20 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Heel," Bruce snapped, stamping his cane down on the ground. His expression wasn't any different than it usually was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2010-11-20 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you his trained dog?" Maria smirked before she brought her legs up between them and tried to flip Batman off of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-20 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Not exactly," Batman said, as he was flipped to the ground. "Bruce...who the hell is this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	old_windbat 2010-11-20 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	Verbally defiant as they were, both of them had still listened to his command. "She's the new Huntress," he said. "And she lives here." For now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2010-11-20 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	Maria climbed to her feet. "Maria Grayson Wayne," she said as she smiled cheekily. "Now that we've gotten the fighting out of the way, does this mean we now have sex?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-21 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Batman narrowed her eyes at her. "No." "How the hell did she get here, exactly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2010-11-21 05:46 am UTC (link)
	"Well when a boy and girl /really/ like each other, they fall in love and get married. They bump uglies. If the time is right then a baby is created and nine months later that baby is born," she started. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She is from another universe. She's going to be here for awhile, so get used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-22 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Batman scowled. "Whatever. You could've told me all of this beforehand, you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2010-11-22 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"It's Bruce. Did you expect him to send out memos?" Maria asked and she gave Bruce a smile. "I can say you have the whole dark, brooding and cranky part of Batman down pat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	old_windbat 2010-11-22 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Bruce gave Terry a look, and let Maria's sentiment ring through. He turned around. "Don't start fighting again, or I'll teach you both a lesson." With that, Bruce headed out. He was tired and ready to sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2010-11-22 05:52 am UTC (link)
	"Fine," said Batman. There was an awkward silence after Bruce left. Now what? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2010-11-22 05:56 am UTC (link)
	"So...." Maria said. She was unsure of what to say. Cranky Bats were a pain to deal with at times. "So how long have you been Batman?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
