It had been a long night, and Bruce was beyond exhausted. He had spent the last three days tracking down a thief that stole gems. Though one of these gems seemed different. He made a mental note to look at it later.

Well to his credit he did mean to look at it again. But as soon as he got back to the cave Tim had rushed up to him. Wanted to get his help on a case. Then one thing trickled into another and he ended up forgetting about the gem for about a week.

Tonight he finally got sometime to work on his stuff. He sits down in his chair looking up at the computer in the cave. Not even noticing the gem that he had placed nearby.

His thoughts and work were interrupted by a light coming from the gem. He quickly stood up and stared at the gem as it made a...human? Or at least as humanoid shape.

Bruce stares in complete awe and weariness as the gem fully forms. His voice is a bit of a rasp as he asks

"Who, or rather what, the hell are you?"
