Snow fell in a blanket over Gotham city and ice frosted the Windows of Wayne Manor. I found myself sitting in sweatpants and Dicks Gotham University sweat shirt with my legs curled under me in front of the Bat Computer. My hair was pulled into a messy ponytail and my headset rested on the sides of my face. Dick and Tim braved the cold for their nightly patrol.
I revived my old alias as Finch a few weeks ago and I was glad to be back in front of the mega screen. I listened in over Dick and Tims conversations like always. Burglary on front street. Mugging on main. Nothing too interesting. The soft chattering of Dicks teeth made me smirk. He sure is stubborn when it comes to his costume. Breathable fabric was great until it was -10 degrees outside and snowing. I bet he was missing his cape right about now.

"R-Robin." Dick chattered over the com.
"Yes Nightwing?" Tim answered.
"H-how are y-you feeling about heading in for the night?"
" But Nightwing, it's only 11:00" Tim replied sarcastically.
"I'll see you at the cave, Robin"
" oooo Dickie Bird is annoyed. " I chimed in over the com.
Tim laughed and Dick mutter some incoherent words.
" now now Di. Act like that and you'll not be getting any hot tea when you get back."
" Alright, Alright I'll be quite."
" you boys stay safe I'll see you when you get back." I clicked off line on the computer and removed my headset and slipped my small ear piece in my ear incase of an emergency. I took the elevator up into the manor and was greeted by the warm air and roaring fire place. Bruce was away on a trip so Dick and I decided to come keep Alfred and Tim some company. As I walked to the living room a small scratching at the door caught my attention. I pulled a Bird a rang from my pocket and crept towards the door. The scratching got louder and suddenly stopped. I slowly turned the door handle and flung the door open, letting it hit the door with a loud clatter. I looked around with my bird a rang tight in my hand. A bright meow came from my feet and I stood shocked for a few seconds.
"Miss Sonya, what in the bloody is all the commotion about?" Alfred called as he hurriedly walked down the hall towards me."
"Sorry, Alfred." I said as I reached down and picked up the small gray kitten off of the porch. "This little sweet heart gave me quite a scare. I didn't mean to bother you." I said honestly.
" All is well miss just ... Give it a bath before you let it on the furniture." He turned and walked down the hallway.

After cleaning up the small kitten I found myself stretching by the fire with the small creature watching me curiously.

"What's this Sonya?" a voice asked from behind me. I pushed myself to my feet and embraced Dick in a tight hug.
"This," I said motioning to the ball of fluff by my feet. " is... Well I haven't thought of a name for it yet but it gave me quite the care earlier when I came upstairs."
" how about Eira?" Dick suggested.
" What does that mean?"
"It's welsh for snow." He reached down and picked up the small kitten.
"I like it." I decided.
Dick held up the small creature and smiled at it.
"Nice to meet you Eira."
The small kitten meowed at him and pawed for his noes.
"I think it likes you." I laughed.
"What are we gonna tell Bruce?" Dick asked.

"...Surprise?"
