For as long as you could remember, anything and everything that got you by was anything and everything that you did. Stealing and lying, doing what you had to. When Selina came by and picked you up like another one of her strays, it was odd. You barely changed, still thieving, still doing crime, just...doing it better. And with someone beside you. Being taken care of was strange, and yet it was comforting to know that she was always there.

That changed once she met Bruce. Bruce had other kids, and other focuses. Selina too grew to have other things to think about, and then suddenly she just wasn't always there anymore. They fell in love. Moved in. Got married. And then...Bruce found out who she really was inside. They fell out of love. Broke up. Leaving you...not quite back where you started. Because Selina was still there. Sort of. Until she wasn't. Until she was caught. And then you really were back where you started; Alone.

It took a month more for you to cross paths with Bruce again, since you were so obviously in such different...jobs, it was awkward, to say the least. But Bruce had a clear hesitation behind those seemingly blank eyes, an inkling of guilt? Maybe? None could be too sure even as he eyed you up and down, waiting for the right moment to say something. What something? He wasn't sure just yet, but that wasn't the biggest problem just yet.
