[playwitchu]

[It has been a stressful month for Sai. With the monsters, getting experimented on by Washu and then that confrontation with Eric. The strange holiday known as Christmas came and then left and then those creepy ghost things came as well. Why was she so scared of being alone? And now more then ever does she not only hear a male's voice in her head

[ Action ]

[ It had been a stressful few weeks for the Batman; not to mention coming down from that horrible transformation into the Man-Bat... He'd wanted to stay away from everyone, but in the end, he'd attacked people... He couldn't really forgive himself.

He'd spent the last few weeks avoiding people, but he eventually came to his senses, realizing hiding wouldn't do him any good. At least the Batman suit had been spared.

Landing upon a nearby apartment building, Terry spotted Sai down below, wandering the streets. He felt some guilt; he hadn't spoken to her very much. He really had no idea what she'd been up to ever since he met her at the High School when she'd been wearing... that dress.

Still, he glided down to her-- wouldn't be right to keep himself distanced forever. ]

Heather?

[Sai is lucky in that regard that she never got to attack people as that dog.

Sai blinks and stops in her tracks as Batman lands near her. It takes her a moment to process at first who he was (seriously never gonna get used to that) before perking up quite a bit.]

BATMAN!

[She doesn't care yo, she is so gonna give you a hug now!]

I missed you!

[ Action ]

[bat_schway]

[ Terry let out a "oof" like sound when he's suddenly hugged by her-- he really hadn't been hugged by anyone in a long time. Giving a smile, he pats her head gently. ]

Hey, squirt. I missed you, too. How've you been doing?

[ He really meant to tell her his name this time... He kept backing out before, but this time he wanted to do it. ]

[ Action ]

[playwitchu]

[Sai lets out a giggle at both the 'oof' sound and the head pats.]

Better now. Where do you disappear too, Batman? [She was worried.]

[bat_schway]

[ He rubs the back of his head. How does one explain this? ]

Well... It's part of the job, I guess. Sometimes I just gotta handle things on my own... But I'm back now, it's okay.

Uh... Hey, call me Terry.

[playwitchu]

[She goes to frown a little and just goes to give him a small squeeze.]

Don't disappear like that again.

[She blinks and tilts her head up at him.]

Terry? [Okay, she is a little confused.]

[bat_schway]

[ Well, this was a little awkward. Terry clears his throat. ]

Batman's my alias. It's not my real name; it's the name of the hero that protects people in my city. But my real name is Terry.

Just... don't tell people, okay?

[playwitchu]

So Batman is not your real name but Terry is?

[She thinks for a moment before smiling and nodding her head.]

I think that I get it and promise that I won't tell anyone!

[That was pretty cool! Having not one but two names!]

Why did you pick Batman then?

[bat_schway]

[ Well, this was a little hard to explain... ]

Well, Batman's a bit of an icon where I'm from. He's been around for ages. [ So glad Bruce isn't here to hear him sass him. ]

I didn't really pick Batman, I guess... I became him.

[playwitchu]

An icon? So what does Batman stand for,Terry?

Ah! You didn't have a choice in the matter?

[bat_schway]

Batman stands for justice. That's what I believe.

[playwitchu]

And what does Batman do whenever someone isn't doing justice? Does Batman beat them up?

[Hello a little bit of bad influence showing through!]
