Meeting of the minds
Bruce Wayne's secretary, Ms Jane Johnson, sat at her desk typing away furiously. She had a lot of work to get done before Mr. Wayne's one o'clock meeting with a new potential business partner. She did not know much about him, other than that he was a very young man with supposedly a lot of good ideas for Wayne Industries and the company he represented.

In between working, she looked up to see a man standing in front of her desk.

"May I help you?" She asked coolly. No one got to see Mr. Wayne without going through her first.

	"One moment please," Jane looked through the computer, "There we go. If you just go upstairs and through the first door on your right, I will inform Mr. Wayne and the board that you here, and they will be with you in the conference room shortly, Mr. Willard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you kindly, Jane." Damien says, turning to go to the conference room. No, she didn't throw her name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Daniel Willard enters the room all smiles and good cheer, smiling effusively at several members of the Board. He greets a particular man like an old friend and said man smiles warmly.

"Mr. Wayne, it's an honor and a pleasure." Damien smiles, genuinely meaning his words. The old man didn't look like much.

Damien surmised that he could kill every man and woman in this room inside of one minute, thirty seconds...if he was stopping to look at faces.

"I am glad that you had time in your schedule for me. How are you today?" Damien asks.

	Terry held back a snicker. Typical Bruce. He sat down with Bruce and the rest of the board members, ready to take notes if Bruce wanted him to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You cut to the chase, Mr. Wayne. A man after my own heart." Damien says.

"Very well. You know that I am with Dynamix Limited. My company is a retailer of top-end medical supplies for hospitals and clinics around the country. I'd like to discuss becoming a vendor for Wayne Medical.

You'll find that our prices are fair, our staff professional and reliable, and I'd like to give you a tour of the facilities at your convenience. We're new to Gotham and want to build relationships with it's best and brightest, and the Wayne name is synonymous with Gotham." Damien finishes.

Nearly as synonymous as Batman. he thinks.

	"I'll have to take this tour before I commit to anything." And yes, it was ultimately Bruce's decision. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The board members ask Damien some questions of their own, and this back-and-forth continues between them for a little while.

The meeting appears to be going smoothly, until there's the sound of glass shattering, and everyone in the room ducks to the ground.

If they looked up, they would see a tall, blond woman, holding Bruce Wayne by the collar, a dagger pressed to his throat.

"Mr. Wayne, I presume?" Lady Vic grinned widely. She had been informed by the Demon's Head not to kill Bruce Wayne, but to taunt him until the Batman was drawn out, as Damien believed that he was somehow connected to Mr. Wayne.

Terry hit the ground when the rest of the people in the room did.

Lady Vic seemed a little too preoccupied with Bruce to notice that the door was somewhat open.

"I'm going to get help," he whispered sharply to the others in the room with him. "Just stay put here."

He crawled carefully and quietly under the table, and out the door. Once he was he was out, he broke into a run and ran down a halllway where no one would see him. His clothes were quickly thrown off, revealing his costume underneath.He grabbed his mask and put it on his head, before firing his rocket boots and flying out the nearest open window.

Moments later, Batman was on the scene in the board room. He threw a Batarang at Lady Vic, knocking the knife out of her hand.

"You know...most people schedule appointments when they want to see the boss, but obviously you're more important than those people, right?"

The Batarang knocked the knife out of her hand, and she cried in pain as the skin on her hand was cut. She turned her attention from Bruce to Batman.

"And you are what...his secretary?" She snarled charging at him, picking her her dagger and raising it in the air.

She wasn't supposed to kill him. Only fight him so the Demon's Head could see this new Batman was even worth his time.

	Batman narrowly dodged the dagger, countering with a kick to her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_assassins 2011-01-07 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	The kick connected, and Lady Vic landed on the table on all fours with a thud. She turned her head over her shoulder, glaring at him, as she attempted to sweep his legs out from under him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Batman jumped to avoid the leg sweep, as he flipped backward, tossing a bolo to bind her legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_assassins 2011-01-07 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Lady Vic threw up her dagger, slicing the bolo, as she got to her feet. She threw a punch at Batman. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	newimprovedbat 2011-01-07 03:12 pm UTC (link)
	The punch connected with Batman's jaw, and he staggered backwards. Okay. Time to finish this before people really got hurt. He threw a kick at Lady Vic's stomach, sending her to the ground. He quickly moved to pin her, going to pull a pair of handcuffs out of his utility belt. She would be the GCPD's problem after this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The most important piece of instructions that Damien had given her? Do not allow yourself to get caught. Lady Vic quickly reached into her pack, pulling out a smoke bomb. She triggered it, and when the smoke cleared, Batman and the board members would find her to be gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Batman threw up his arm, coughing at the smoke.

"Damn," he muttered under his breath when the smoke cleared and Lady Vic was nowhere to be found. Bruce was safe, and that was what was really important, yes, but they could have figured out who she was working for.

He quickly looked at Bruce to see if he was okay before exiting the way he came, through the window.

Terry then took the same precautions of changing out of his costume and putting his clothes back on. There was a small cut on his arm...Lady Vic had gotten him with her dagger when he least expected it, but other than that, he was fine.

He ran back to board room, appearing to be out of breath.

"Police...are...on their way," he said, looking around at the room.

"Is everyone alright?"

The board members then launch into Batman must have been informed, as he saved them all from certain death.

If she was going to kill him, she would have done it. She wouldn't have just stood there. So for that reason, Bruce actually gave Lady Vic a smug smirk.

But even then, his mind was racing. His paranoia always kicked in. By the time Terry and gone and outfitted himself for the fight and come back, Bruce was staring at "Daniel Willard". His eyes were trained on that boy the entire time.

He was going to have a thorough search on this guy and any connections he had with this woman.

"Terry," Bruce said. "We're leaving. We will not be in need of a partnership with Dynamix Ltd., Daniel Willard."

And with that, a perfectly calm, yet suspicious, Bruce Wayne stepped out of the meeting room. Something told him this kid had just learned something he shouldn't have.

Daniel Willard played his part to a T. When Lady Vic arrived, he hit the floor like everyone else, though he did look around to make sure no one was hurt, including Mr. Wayne.

Daniel also noted when the assistant said he was going to get help. He couldn't help but notice how certain the young man seemed that help would be near enough to save all of them. Lady Vic could have killed everyone in the room by the time Terry got back with security.

Of course, when Bruce Wayne smirked at Lady Vic, Damien /knew/ that the old man wasn't expecting security to show either.

Cue the Batman's appearance. Batman fought against Lady Vic with skill, but nowhere near the kind of skill from Grandfather's stories, or even the ones Father told.

Then Lady Vic and Batman were both gone and "Terry" returned, out of breath and saying police were on the way. Of course, Damien knew just as well as Terry knew that there was a phone less than ten feet or so outside the office. The secretary would have called the cops if she'd seen anything through the open door.

And Damien notes a hint of blood seeping through Terry's shirt on the arm where Batman was cut only moments before.

Ah. So the mantle has finally passed, has it? Damien thinks.

When Bruce Wayne immediately rejects their deal, Daniel Willard looks shocked, and maybe even offended, though he says nothing. The board member who'd invited Daniel to present says that he'll talk to Mr. Wayne once he's less shaken.

Inside, the Demon's Head smiles. He'd never expected a deal with Wayne Enterprises, though such might have been amusing. All he'd wanted to know was already shown to him.

"Very well, Mr. Wayne. I am glad to see that you are all right." Daniel says apologetically.

"I did not know that Gotham could be so..random." Daniel says, turning to collect his scattered papers.

Soon enough, Damien's driver picks him up to take him to his penthouse in Gotham.

"It seems that the Bat and the Demon's Head will renew their rivalry for another generation." Damien muses, as the limo leaves the area.
