Title: Mysterious ways
Summary: She has *plans* for this child.
Author's Notes: All. Sockich's. Fault. Shiva, Tim, gennish Shiva/Tim.
There have, of course, been other possible protégés. None of them have had quite this level of dedication.
A discipline like hers is all-consuming, with no room for the self. Nothing but the fight. The art. This little bird, this Robin...
He will be great, some day. Perhaps he will kill her... the little death or the great, she is uncertain.
As for his mentor -- Batman she cares little for, except as he shapes and forges the boy. Robin's death is not permitted, unless it be on her terms.
Shiva smiles behind her paper monkey mask, watching the flash of red move through dirty streets. His compassion -- this 'heroism' idea -- she can beat from him. Alternately, she can wait until Batman has molded him for her and then simply take her apprentice. Consort.
