She gave you everything she had, but she was young and dumb

Character(s): Stephanie Brown and EVERYONE ELSE
Location: Balamb Town
Rating: PG
Open/Closed/Finished: Open
Summary: One second she was in the cave, the next she was... where was she?

The first thing she thought was "this can't be happening." Whether she was talking about her strange new surroundings or the fact that Batman had just fired her? For one stupid mistake? It was a combination of the two.

Her second thought was "this must be a test." She messed up, and now... what? He wanted her to go through some creepy training? Why couldn't he just say that? He had to know that she would do whatever it took.

Or maybe he didn't know. Maybe the reason behind this whole charade was because he wasn't sure she was really devoted to the mission. Her mission, not just his. Well she was up to the challenge. She could do it without his help. It was the same thing she had been doing this whole time. The only reason she went to him at all was because she wanted proper training and proper recognition. She wanted him to acknowledge that she deserved this chance. Instead she got a probation. Well if this was what it took, she'd play along.

First that meant changing out of her costume, which hurt, considering Batman's final words to her. She kept it in the bag her civilian clothes had been in, reminding herself that she would be putting it on again. Next she re-read the letter, then re-read it again and again. When she had it almost memorized, she knew what she needed to do.

Putting on her best 'innocent civilian' face, she found a crowded area and looked around somewhat helplessly.

"Hello?" she called out, hoping somebody who knew the area would find her. "Can somebody help me? I'm lost."

"I can show you the place, if you'd like." Tandy didn't know the school that well either, but she'd been doing her best to remember mentally, rather than just using the map. After all, that was how she had gotten through New York and the slums. Constant re-work and constant returning.

Tandy nodded her head, smiling. "All right. If you'll follow me..." She stopped talking, blinking momentarily. "Uh, what is your name? Sorry. Forgot to ask."

"Stephanie." Tandy smiled. "Nice to meet you, Stephanie. I'm Tandy Bowen." She put out her hand for Stephanie to shake.
