Faye sat cross-legged on the roof of building three in the thick darkness of Neocontra at night, bundled up in her gray coat to protect against the cold. She didn't have much of a reason to be there, other than boredom, a whimsical impulse to test out her shiny Christmas night-vision goggles, and curiosity about what her fellow inmates were up to in the dark of night.

So far it had been a big fat boring load of nothing, and Faye was fixing her mind up to go back inside, warm up by her cast-iron, wood-fired stove- Thank you, Ned~!- and go to bed. Faye scanned the streets one more time, then, with little interest, scanned the rooftops. Then, so quickly she almost missed it- had she seen... something disappear behind the peak of that roof? Faye turned to face the spot where she'd seen the flash of motion, straining to see it again. "What the...." she murmured.

Batman was the best at hiding in shadows, especially in the dark of night. He'd been trained by the best after all--a group of ninja elites. That had been some time ago, and practice had only made better. Oh the other hand, Batman was unconcerned with glimpses or sightings when he wasn't on a direct mission. It was a way for everyone to know he was there. Back home this was a good thing for enforcing the law. (Even if he was himself breaking it, technically.) Here, it served almost a similar purpose of deterrence

Faye watched the spot, but continued to see nothing. She rose slowly to her feet, the goggles still trained on that bit of roof. After a few more seconds of seeing nothing, she dropped the goggles from her eyes, as if that would help her see better. The green-tinted, daylight-bright picture of Neocontra's rooftops was replaced by mostly a lot of black in the dim moonlight.

Making a small noise in the back of her throat, Faye lifted the goggles to her eyes again and scanned around the rooftops- there! It was mostly hidden behind a ledge, and still as a statue, but with the aid of her night vision goggles very definitely not roof-shaped. It took her a few moments to make sense of what she was seeing, before her eyes recognized what looked like a not-human face- Oh God it's staring right at me!

"GAH!" exclaimed Faye, taking an involuntary step backwards as a jolt of shock shot through her.

About a second or two after Faye's shocking discovery, the Bat finally moved. He stood up slowly from his crouch. He was completely still in his movements, as contradictory as that may sound. He was stoic, intensely quiet, and besides the slow movement of standing there was nothing else to indicate that he was aware of her discovery of him. Or anything else to indicate he was a living, emotional being.

He was, however, obviously still staring at her.

Another moment passed and she was dismissed as a non-threat. He turned on his heel with a suddenness and was quickly moving across the rooftop to the opposite end. He only paused briefly before leaping off the edge.

Faye stood frozen in fear, her heart pounding in her chest and unable to breathe as the thing slowly rose to its feet, still staring at her- Gun, grab your gun, stupid-! Faye's fingers twitched, but before she could move her hand the dark figure whirled into motion, flying across the rooftop and disappearing off the edge.

"Shitshitshit!" exclaimed Faye, and all of a sudden she could move again and she had her gun in her hand and she was running to the window she'd climbed out of, to hell with dignity. She scrambled back in through the window and into the safety of the building less-than-gracefully, receiving a few scrapes in her rush. Faye whirled to face the window, her eyes wide and her gun clutched in both hands- her goggles having at some point found their way back into her pocket- and backed up until she hit a wall. She leaned against it and desperately tried to slow her heart rate and breathing. "What. The HELL. Was that?!"

Faye decided maybe she wouldn't go out at night very often anymore.

(( XDDDDDDD ))

((lol. Dude--I am so tempted to write something along the lines of "and the Bat manages to slip unnoticed into her apartment and sneak up on her--leaning in close and whispering "hi" in her ear" because LOL. But totally OOC... but how funny would that be!? XDD))

[lady_bounty]

((Ahahahahaha, it's a shame Batman doesn't do more things simply for the lulz. Silly Bat, why so serious? XD ))

[gonnaloveme]
