MIND GAMES: A BATMAN AND ROBIN STORY

CHAPTER 4

“Forgive me.”

You opened your door, just a crack. You checked up and down the hall way for Alfred. You usually don’t butt into other peoples stuff, but curiosity was controlling you. You walked out into the hall, being as quiet as possible. You made it half way down the hall when you remembered you didn’t close your door. You made a swift movement with your hand and the door (that was half way down the hall) closed, but louder than you wanted. You cringed and listened closely, but you didn’t hear Alfred coming. You continued down the hall, opening all the doors, nothing really special.

Walking down the hall you came to another door closest to the stairs. You turned the handle but it didn’t open. You twisted it harder, but still nothing. You put your ear to the door, but you couldn’t hear anything suddenly a hand grabbed your shoulder. You gasped and turned to face Alfred. “Miss I have been looking for you, its time for you to get ready, Master Bruce will be here soon.” He said. You smiled. “You scared me Alfred. What’s with this door? Why is this the only door that is locked?”

“That is Master Wayne’s study. He keeps it locked. But you should hurry or you won’t be ready on time.” You nodded and looked back at the door before you went back to your bedroom. A half an hour later you showered and dressed. You were applying makeup when there was knocking at your door. Alfred opened the door. “Miss you look beautiful, Master Wayne is ready and waiting for you in the foyer.” You nodded and thanked him. He left, and you turned back to the mirror for one last check over.

You wore a beautiful, one of kind dress that you designed yourself, something that reflected your sweet side, but was still black to show your love for the color. You wore this (pic here)

You walked down the steps to the foyer. You could see Bruce there, with a woman you never met. He looked very handsome. He wore a designer suit you were sure he purchased at your store. The woman was a tall, beautiful, blonde, but not the typical model type that Bruce went for. This woman just looked smart, if that was possible. Sorry to say, the models you knew weren’t very bright.

“There she is. Wow Chris you look very beautiful.” Bruce said taking your hand and leading you down the last few steps. “This is Dr. Chase.” You offered your hand to shake. She took it. “What kind of Doctor are you?” You asked. “Psychology. I deal with a lot of work on the criminal mind.” She said with a proud smile, not smug. “Cool.” You said. You loved the study of the mind, ever since you found out about your powers. And you loved to study why people did what they did, but also the hidden part of the mind, like telepathic people and physics.

Bruce looked at his wrist watch. “I think we have to get going. Or we are going to be late.” He opened the door. Out side was the most beautiful car you have ever seen. It was a Bently Continental GT Diamond Series. But you tried not to be stupid. He opened the door for you to get into the backseat, and for Chase to get into the passenger seat. You guys arrived there in no time. You got out of the car, and noticed the big tent beyond the entrance. It was The Big Top Circus! You clapped. You had never been to a Circus before. You stepped onto the red carpet to get in. Flashing cameras and paparazzi.

You modeled your dress for a moment before entering the Big Top. It was awesome. Bruce held out his arm and you wrapped your arm around his, with Chase on the other side. Your seats were on the second row. You three took your seat. The ring leader came out into the middle of the circle and grabbed the mic. “Ladies and Gentlemen, the show is about to begin. The Amazing Graysons will be taking to the skies with a trapeze show that will blow your mind!” Every one clapped really loud. The Amazing Graysons took to the trapeze, doing tricks that made people ‘oo’ and ‘ahh’. You clapped.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like you all to keep very quiet. The youngest of the Graysons will be putting his life on the line to entertain you all. He will do the most dangerous of all tricks, he will perform the jump of death, with out a net!” The youngest looked about your age, 16-18. He began, when he swung, you watched, nervously. He let go and you gasped. He caught his father’s hands and made it. You jumped up clapping as loud as you could. Every one followed and stood as well. Suddenly the doors to the Big Top blew open, and a gang a men with half painted face, some looked like the ying yang sign, came bursting threw the doors. All of which had guns. Everyone screamed. Then he stepped through the door. “Hello everyone, having a party and didn’t invite me?!” He said mockingly.

Your heart pounded. ~That’s him, the man who killed my mother and tried to kill me, that’s Two Face!~ Bruce put his arm in front of you, to block you. “Now who in here, knows the Batman? Oh come on, someone gots to know. No one, well you have about 2 minutes to decide to tell me or the Big Top goes Big Boom!” He laughed; his goons rolled a big ball into the middle of the floor. It was a bomb with a timer on the side. They hooked it up to a chain and they began to raise it to the roof. You went to move but Bruce’s hold was stronger than you thought. “Bruce let me go, he is going to kill these people, I have to help them!” He didn’t respond nor did he let you go. You looked up, The Amazing Graysons were working to get the bomb up, and out to the water outside. People were screaming and rushing for exits that were blocked. It was very crazy inside the big top, everyone was panicking.

You couldn’t take it any longer, you bit Bruce’s arm, he flinched and you were able to catch him off guard and push his arm off of you. You ran through the crazed crowd, running straight for the evil man in the middle of the circle. You swung your arm with all your might and his henchmen went flying. You were actually aiming for Two Face, but hey you hit someone. The Two Face looked shocked, then his eyes landed on you. “Oh, your still alive. ~he clapped~ Bravo!” He said. Your hands were clenched into tight fists. “Oh come on, are you still made at me? No hard feelings.” He said laughing. You took a step towards him, and he raised his gun. “What no more fight in you?” He raised his gun to the ceiling and shot the poles that were holding The Amazing Graysons. And before you could react, they fell. You watched in horror as they fell to their deaths. One of the Hench men grabbed you from behind. Trying to pull you into the trap door that Two Face just jumped through. He had a knife to your side. You flailed around trying to break free of the man. Suddenly he was thrown back by someone. You sunk to your knees, not even bothering to get up.

“Chris, Chris are you alright?!” Bruce said kneeling in front of you shaking you. But you didn’t respond. “Oh god she bleeding.” You heard Dr. Chase say, but you didn’t feel it. You looked up, only to see the youngest of The Amazing Grayson, looking down at his family that now laid dead. His face was a look of shock and confusion. “I’m soo sorry….”
