<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/64/Young_Batman.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Name:</strong> Batman (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=294841.msg14455706#msg14455706)<br/><strong>Date | Time:</strong> Present<br/><strong>Location:</strong> Earth probably<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br/><strong>Note:</strong> N/A</span><br/><hr/><br/><em> 'See you soon.' </em>The note had said...but soon was clearly a relative term. But Bruce had once waited for a month on the doorstep of a Sensei in Japan to prove he was worthy to be a student, so if this was going to be a test of patience, Bruce was not going to be the one to fold.<br/><br/>And indeed the silence was broken, if not by the one who had summoned him, and clearly at least one other, to wherever they were. And though he kept his face impassive, her first sentence filled him with a sense of apprehension. How did she know he didn't have any answers? Was it simply a deduction on her part, like he had assumed she wasn't responsible for his abrupt arrival at this place? Or was it something more?<br/><br/>Her next sentence didn't offer many clues except for confirming the fact that she had arrived in a similar matter as he. But her next comment brought forth the wave of apprehension again...how did she know he considered her a potential threat? Just due to his body postion as he faced her? Or did she have some uncanny form of insight, and did that insight extend to the knowledge that he thought she was pretty? Even her voice might have qualified a bit on the seductive side, as soft as she spoke. But if she did pick up on that, she was polite enough not to mention it.<br/><br/>"John." Bruce replied with the alias he had decided on. He didn't have any ID to back it up yet, but he certainly had a good excuse not to have his wallet with him. Not that he'd bothered with any type of ID since he had left Gotham all those years ago. "And your guess is correct. I just woke up in a different place than I started and found a note giving me directions to this room. As for who brought us here...does the name Doctor Fate mean anything to you?" Obviously at least part of what Bruce recalled of his meeting with the mysterious being was accurate, and he was curious how much insight his at least temporary room mate had.<br/><br/>"I am no threat to you either." Bruce assured her, "and I didn't mean to disturb you." He briefly considered getting up and crossing the room to shake her hand, but the girl...Raven apparently...struck him as a bit on the shy side, and he didn't want to seem overbearing.<br/>
