Going to court? Not the best thing for a kid like you. And a kid like you will make up any lie, and roll with it to get outta stuff like this.

So that's where you sat, at one of those tables. A lawyer next to you, a social worker in the audience, and the prosecutor seriously trying to put you in Juvie.

"In my professional opinion, what we got here is the run of the mill juvenile delinquent." The prosecutor hit a ruler against his hand (where had he even gotten one of those?) "And juvenile delinquen- smack -cy is a social disease-"

"Alright, okay. Thank you, Mr Worther. Mrs Sweeting, does your client have anything to say in response or for you to say as the lawyer of your client?" The judge cut the prosecutor off.

The thing was, of course Bruce Wayne had heard of this. He had his ear open to all news of orphans. Cough cough Alfred found a newspaper with another kid with a troubled background and cough cough knew Bruce couldn't resist so cough cough accidently gave it to him. Yes, Bruce Wayne was somehow there unnoticed at the moment, quietly speaking to the social worker.
