I slowly made my way to my room, at the manor, muscles stiff, and body sore. Bruce has been pushing my training pretty hard because I finally convinced my family to let me join the business. I want to be a superhero, so I don't put up a fuss with training. I make it to my room, after closing the door, I pretty much just collapse on my soft and squishy bed. I fall asleep as soon as my face hits the comfy surface. Too lazy to change out of my sweaty gym clothes.

My nightmares are what you'd expect after watching your parents be murdered by a clown clad psychopath. Every night I have to watch helplessly as my parents are killed, and I can never save them.

I awoke in my covers, one of the boys must have come in last night. My groggy brain wants more sleep but I know I'll have to get up at some point. I pull the massive cover off my body, and pull it over to make the bed. Alfred could easily do it, but I kind of enjoy doing it. I try to help out with any chores I can, because the man is like my grandpa. I make my way through the massive manor, down to the kitchen to have breakfast. By the time I get there Bruce, dick, Jason, tim, and Damian were already sitting there and Alfred was making breakfast. I sat down in my seat. Bruce looks at me.

"Well good morning sunshine, how'd you sleep?" He asked.

"Fine, still getting used to long nights though" I replied.

"So we were thinking that you go on patrol with me, as Amethyst, would you want to go?"

my head snapped up "Yes absolutely yes." Excitement crashing through me. I was going on patrol with Batman.

"Well I think we have to introduce you to the hero world, as a superhero. The league knows you as one of my adopted children but not as Amethyst, although I'm going to put you under the same restrictions as dick. No telling people your secret identity. It's forbidden." Bruce says sternly.

"Ok, I won't tell anyone dad" Bruce smiled, he loved it when we called him that instead of Bruce.

"Alright now hurry up or you'll be late for school." The two of us hurriedly ate our food, and rushed to our rooms, to get ready. Bruce has a thing with punctuality, and would add hours of training to anyone who is as late.

We rushed to school, Alfred driving the limo. Being the kids of a billionaire meant limo rides to school, all the nicest schools, and reporters on your tail. Dick and I were freshman in Gotham Academy, and were clad in their uniforms. We got out of the limo, and as always were swarmed by the fan girls for dick and fan boys for me. They were all so obsessed, like they didn't have anything better to do with their lives. Dick and I managed to escape the fans, and make it to our fist period class (Bruce pulled some strings to make sure dick and I had every class together).

"Well dickie we manage to escape yet again"

"Barely" dick said with a smirk.

"Oh brother you love the attention" I say as we walk to our seats together. Dick and I sat in the back of the classroom, and we sat together because dick was my best friend.

"Alright class we're going to have a pop quiz" Mrs. Alvarez said, she was a teacher that was famous at school for how impossibly hard her quizzes were. Dick and I had no issue with the quizzes because they were easy for us, after all we were both really good at math. The class groaned, but cleared the desks, and go ready for the quiz.

"You ready daphs?" Dick whispered

"Yeah dickie, these quizzes are always easy." I whispered back.

"You're totally feeling the aster" he retorted in whisper.

"Oh my gosh, dickie be careful, someone might hear you"

"Please like anyone here could figure it out."

"I did"

"That's cuz you're as smart as me, well maybe a little less smart than me" I rolled my eyes at his comment. Our teasing whisper conversation came to a halt, as Mrs. Alvarez came by our desks, dropping our papers off.

I finished my test in five minutes, but dick finished his in four. We always had a race to see who could finish their tests first, it was actually rare that we got anything wrong though, seeing as me and dick were tied for the best in class. Dick and I were having a silent conversation, the kind only siblings can have, when the bell rang dismissing us from the class.

Next we had gym, and it was the only time dick truly worried about me because I was A) in the midst of a bunch of guys in rather unflattering clothes and B) we had to split off to change, so dick couldn't keep an eye on me. Dick hates it when we're in public and he can't see me because as Wayne kids we tend to get kidnapped for ransom a lot, but it wasn't like someone could kidnap me out of a locker room, but still he worried. My brothers were a little if not a lot overprotective of me. After I changed, I walked out and was swarmed by boys. I felt a hand on my wrist, and suddenly I was struggling to keep up with the person dragging me backwards.

"Thanks dickie. That was a little stressful"

"You're welcome, anytime you need a save, you know who to call" he said with a wink.

Later during lunch we sat with Artemis, because dickie thought it would be interesting, she completely ignores dick but always talks to me.

"Hey Sims, hows it going" sims was an inside joke between Artemis and I, one day we were messing with each others names trying to figure out a nickname for each other, because our names are so odd, and I spelled her name backwards and created sims.

"Nothing much daffy" I was dubbed Daffy Duck, just because she couldn't figure something that dick never called me. "Why's he here?"

"Oh please Sims you know that well first dick would have a cow because he wasn't by my side at all times and that then Dad would explode because dick wasn't by my side, so all in all i let them follow me" dick didn't look all that pleased with my answer.

"I'm offended" he said putting a dramatic hand on his chest "how could you not enjoy the company of moi?"

"Oh brother, you're such a drama queen" I say rilling my eyes.

"Anyways how was doing Mr. Wan's homework assignment last night, it was killer for me." I asked sims

"Oh no" she suddenly said in alarm "I totally forgot to do that!!!" Well she didn't forget, she was on a mission with dick, but she didn't know that I already knew that. I was just training with Bruce, but he let me do my homework before hand.

After lunch the day passed with ease and it came time to dawn my costume to go patrol with dad.

"You excited?"

"Um yes, I finally get to be introduced as a superhero" Bruce rolled his eyes with a smile. He knew that I wanted this.

We got into the batmobile, and dad dawned his 'brooding Batman face' as we drove out of the cave, we saw the bat signal up in the air. Dad just sighed and drove to an ally, locking the doors once we got out. We both took out grappling hooks, but I didn't really know how to use it.

"Um Batman, I don't know how to use it yet"

"That's ok, just point it up there" he pointed to the ledge of the police building "and once it's aimed just fire, but hold on tight because as soon as it grapples you have to push the second button to engage the pulley inside the gun, pulling you up with it, you go up first so I can catch you if you fall ok?"

"Ok, thanks Batman." I wanted to call him dad but we were somewhere people could hear us, so I can't blow our cover. I aimed and shot the grapple. I then clicked the second button and was being pulled to the roof.

Batman came up beside me, as quiet as could be. He stepped ahead of me, and I walked slightly more behind him than anything. Even though we were only going to meet with commissioner Gordon, which I had met with many times and had many family dinners with Barbara and him multiple times, but it was my first time as a superhero, and I was a little nervous, I get a little shy when I'm nervous. What if uncle James figured out who I am? Commissioner James Gordon was a good family friend, more like family, so even though he wasn't my biological uncle, it was just one of those things that you did for really close adult friends. Much like the justice league, I call all of them my aunts and uncles too, it was like one massive family.

We approached the commissioner, when Batman stopped, I was more behind dad then next to him.

"What is the situation Gordon?" Dad switched to his gravelly Batman voice.

"Poison ivy escaped Arkham tonight"

"Where was she see last?"

"Gotham square"

Before I realized it Batman started to move and Uncle Jim saw me.

"Where's robin? Is he hurt or something?" He asked the dark knight.

"Robin is Fine. I'm just introducing her into the community, this is her first time. I was just going to take her on patrol."

"What's her name?"

"Amethyst" it was my turn to talk.

"Why do you always have young ones?"

"I'm not that young" I protested.

"Yes you're a dang teenager"

"We're not here to discuss my technique, I'm here because you put up the signal" he was a little defensive of his princess. He shot his grappling hook, towards a taller building near by but didn't click the button, evidently waiting to make sure I was able to shoot my grappling hook and make sure I was safe.

"Bye commissioner" I waved in farewell and shot my grappling hook. I hit my target and took off, soon after dad followed me.

"I don't know why the sidekicks are always the polite ones" commissioner said under his breath.
