This couldn’t get worse.

First I find out the clown’s loose, then I’m stopped from killing him by the man I thought of as my father, then the man fucking throws a Batarang at my neck, then I’m blown up.

If the Batman wanted the Joker to kill me again, he should have just said it. But no, that’s not how the man works. He had to act, and thus he

...Did you say Batman?

[crazybirdie]

Did I stutter?

[notarrowette]

Uh, no. I was just surprised. Most people here think he's fictional.

[crazybirdie]

Well I can tell ya cupcake, the man isn't fictional. He fucking raised me.

[notarrowette]

Yeah, that's--wow. I believe you. I'm not from Gotham, but where I'm from he's a real person.

[crazybirdie]

Really. How special for you. Now who the hell are you and why the hell are you even talking to me?

[notarrowette]

You mentioned Batman like he was a real person. It attracts attention. But that's an excellent question and I'm done now.

[crazybirdie]

Because he is a real person!

You didn't answer my fucking question! Who are you?!

[notarrowette]

I know he is. That's why I paid attention. I'm Cissie, and you can stop swearing at me any time.

[crazybirdie]

Cissie? Never heard of you.

[notarrowette]

I'm really not surprised. Like I said--I'm not from Gotham, and even if I were, I'm not anyone special. I'm just from the same world as you, apparently.

[crazybirdie]

Somehow I doubt that. Because I might not know what all this place is about, but I know that you have to be someone to be picked up.

So what's the story?

[notarrowette]

I'm an archer; I have an Olympic medal. I've done some acting and charity work and I wanted to do more than be an athlete. So the admiral offered me a job as a warden and I took it.

[crazybirdie]

Olympic medal archer. Aren't related to the Green Arrow are you?

[notarrowette]

Ha, no, not that I'm aware of. I've just been training since I was like three.

[crazybirdie]

Don't laugh, if you're not sure for certain, you could very well be. The guy gets around more than the Green Lantern, the first one not the other three.

Wait, three!? Not even the Robins have trained that damn long. What the hell was your parents on?
