Current location:Wayne Manor

Test Scene

First thing he registers: he’s face down in mud.
Never a good way to wake up, especially not in Gotham. Slowly he regains feeling in his limbs…and promptly he wishes he hadn’t. He aches all over, so much that he can’t tell where it hurts, just that it hurts all over.

With what seems to be a Herculean effort he manages to lift himself partially off the ground to figure out what fresh hell he needs to face now. He’s not quite recovered but in a split second he recognizes where he is. Wayne Manor grounds.

And for a brief moment he entirely forgets the destruction of Gotham and the sight of his universe crumbling before him as he groans.

“Unconscious on the grounds in Robin gear? Dad’s going to kill me…”

"Only if someone else doesn't first," came a female voice behind him. Maria couldn't sleep and had decided to take a walk around the grounds when she spotted a dark shape out on the lawn. Upon closer inspection it was a guy. Dressed as Robin.

Great. The last thing he needs. A witness.

He gets up and staggers a bit before responding with a weak smile, "On what grounds? Trespassing? Vigilantism? Inability to keep a normal sleep schedule?".

The figure approaches and he can make out her face.
"Wait, you're not one of the Waynes. What are you doing here anyway? Oh man please don't tell me this is a robbery cause that is really not what I need now."

"Trespassing to start, but if I were to do it on the inability to keep a normal sleep schedule then I'd be in trouble along with a lot of people."

"I'm an honorary Wayne and I live here. Now who are you and what are you doing here?"

Accused of trespassing on his own property? Well that was new.

"Well if either of us had one I suppose we wouldn't be having this conversation."

"Honorary Wayne? Since when?", he didn't think Dad would keep something like that from him.

He grabs the edge of his cape and waves it around a bit, "Can't you tell? Robin? Sidekick to Batman? I know I'm in bad shape here but come on."

He's getting the sense that something is very wrong around here but he's still too delirious to connect the dots.

"Since the day I was born," she replied. Her gut told her something really wasn't right. "Uncle Bruce took me under his wing so to speak. There hasn't been a Robin in a few years now." Maria had been the last Robin and that was a few years ago. "Batman is mostly retired now."

It was time for introductions. "Maria Grayson."

What? Oh no. This wasn't good. Dad's hatred of magic? Totally justified.

His memory is slowly coming back. "This is one of those dimension or universe hopping things now isn't it? Wonderful...". Although it's not like there was anything left of his universe to stay in...

"Grayson?! Like Dick Grayson?". He peels off his mask and offers his hand while trying not to collapse in front of the pretty woman. "Thomas Kyle, nice to meet you. Althought the circumstances could be better."

"Could be," she said. "We get those every once in awhile. You're not in Kansas anymore."

"Accept no substitutes." Maria grinned. "Dick Grayson is my dad and Helena Bertinelli is my mom."

She tilted her head. "Kyle as in Selina?"

"Would it surprise you to hear I quite dislike Kansas? Although I might prefer that option at the moment..."

Helena? Okay that was unexpected. This was the second time this conversation he broke Catwoman's Rule #1: never show surprise. If Batman catches you on the roof of Cartier, turn around and act like you were expecting him. If a woman you just met turns out to be your alternate universe niece...well okay the rule didn't translate well to this situation.

"No offence but I never would have expected that one. We used to have a pool going that Dick would end up with a redhead. I will admit to making money off it too. Dick's daughter huh? In my world I guess that would make you my...niece. Wow this is odd."

The mischevious grin comes out. "The notorious and uncatchable herself."

A sigh escapes him and he motions to the Manor while wiping blood out of his eyes. "If the boss himself is in there I'm going to have to go through his identity verification protocol aren't I? At least he has plenty of blood for a sample."

"Oh they're not together, my parents," she said. "I was the result of a fling and they didn't get married." Though they didn't marry, Maria never lacked for love from either parent and they got along reasonably well with each other.

Maria nodded. "Bruce wouldn't be Bruce if he didn't have verification protocols. Come on. Let's get you inside, let Bruce make you do a song and a dance to prove who you are, get you cleaned up and get you a room."

He feels insensitive for mentioning it now. "Oh, sorry I didn't mean to pry..." Way to be awkward Thomas. He makes a note to try and make it up to her when he gets a chance.

He can't keep himself from laughing. "Yeah he's paranoid as hell but you gotta love him for it. I can dance but he might want to refrain from asking me to sing. Apparently I sing like my cat."

He follows her towards the manor. "And thanks, at least for not setting the security measures on me. You would have been fully justified for doing so."

"Oh it's okay." She gave him a reassuring smile. "I don't mind being a bastard. I can get away with a lot more."

Maria laughed along with him. "I would have, but I'm not as paranoid as some around here. I would like to think that was Alfred's influence when I was younger."

"Hey, we're crimefighters in Gotham. Playing the bastard is part of our job description."

Five minutes ago he was exhausted, depressed and confused. Now he's definitely feeling better despite his situation. He wouldn't expect anything less from a relative of Dick.

Thomas grins, pleased he got her to laugh along. "Well I guess the rest of us always have to fill the normal quota, and Alfred is nothing if not an awesome influence. If not for him I'm sure Dad would never leave that cave."

"Something like that here too," she said. "Let's go. Uncle Bruce is probably wondering what's taking so long."
