Batman and Robin were standing in the doorway leaving the windows and a two-story drop the only easy exit. I would have to fight my way out. I pulled my sword out. “Why don’t they ever just surrender?” Robin asked. I ran at them. The following fight scene has been cut for language and the destruction of a Shakespeare bust.
I came to in a hospital bed. It took me a while to remember what happened. I felt a huge lump on my head from where the bust had landed. I started to climb out of the bed. “Don’t sposta te have a concussion,” an elderly woman detto walking into the room.
“I’m fine.” If there was one thing I hated it hospitals and needles. Make that to things I hate.
“You don’t leave until I say te can.”
“How is your patient?”
“She’s not listening to me,” she detto as I stood up. I wobbled a little bit before I found my balance.
“I’m fine see. Now if te don’t mind I’ll be leaving.”
“Wait a minute.” I turned to see Batman.
“Oh you’re going to take me to jail now, right?”
“Mr.Wayne didn’t file any charges.”
“So I’m free to go.”
“I’m not done yet. In return Mr.Wayne want te to volunteer here at the clinic.”
“Is that all?”
“Not quite. I would like te to the league’s covert team.”
“You mean the Justice League’s covert team?”
“Yes.” I started to laugh.
“You’re joking right?” I looked at his face. “You’re not joking.”
“You have the right skills to do covert missions if trained properly.”
“But I’m a thief.”
“The same skills the makes te a good thief can make te a good spy. te were able to hack Mr.Wayne’s security system…”
“That was Epsilon’s doing.”
“Who’s Epsilon?” I looked around for my bag. After I found it I picked it up and pulled Epsilon out of it.
“This is Epsilon. She’s the one te want if all te care about is hacking.”
“Epsilon is a computer.”
“Yes.”
“Explain how it works?”
“I tell her what I need done and she does it.”
“But she only does what te tell her to, right.”
“Yes.”
“So we would still need te to play go between.”
“May I have some time to think it over?”
“You have until this evening to decide. We’ll met back here.”
“Ok,” I detto leaving. I knew whom I needed to talk with about this.
