Gold

Three days had past since the party and you still hadn't called Bruce. Every time you laid your hand on your phone to call, you would chicken out and walk away. You had told your friends you would but the idea was just so.... crazy! Absolutely crazy! You on a date with Bruce Wayne?! You shook your head at the thought. You were now sitting in front of your cell just starring at it for the fifth time that day. You jumped when it vibrated loudly on your wooden table and you almost fell out of your chair. You quickly calmed down and fixed your messy hair, like who ever the text was from could see you, picked it up and looked at it. It was from Sarah. She was just checking in since you both hadn't really talked since the party. She said there was an amazing sale at her favorite store so she was shopping and bragging about things she had bought. She also mentioned the sun was setting and it look fantastic. You sighed and texted back that everything was fine and nothing really new was going on. While you typed out the words you walked to the window and looked out to see a sliver of red sky. The buildings that stood in front of your window blocked the rest. You grumbled about how the building were rude from standing in the way while you opened your window and stepped out onto the stairs that led up to the roof. You finally reached the top and looked out over the roofs now having a great view.


"Wow." You gasped at the sight of the red and orange painted sky. You don't know why you don't come out here more often but you really should. You sat down near the edge of the building and took in a deep breath. You were happy your building was so tall, you could get a breath of clean air unlike down in the streets where all you can smell is oil, smoke, and who knows what else.


The breeze caught up as the sun went further down. You wrapped your arms around you and started to debate if you should go back in but decided to wait till the sun was gone. You suddenly heard voices coming from below. You peered over the edge and saw two men huddled up in an ally way. At first you thought they were homeless and just getting out of the wind but then you saw something glitter between them. You hung lower trying to see what it is but it was difficult from the distance. You finally figured it out when they opened the bag more.


"Gold?" Gold bars were sticking out of the bag. They must have robbed a bank. What was with this city? Where ever you go some crime is being committed.


You quietly walked down the stairs trying to not make it creak. You dialed 911 and told the woman who answered where you lived and what you were seeing. They confirmed that a bank had been robbed and that they were sending police. The person on the phone advised you to stay hidden and not to provoke them. You weren't an idiot, you wouldn't dream of getting yourself into trouble. Well that's what you told yourself but that all changed when you saw they also had some purses in their hands, probably stole them as extra. One of them looked familiar. It was a Monty original, one that hadn't even been released yet but Monty had given it as a gift....to Sarah. You retracted what you said about yourself. Your an idiot.


"Hey jerks!" The two looked up to only see jean covered legs getting rapidly closer. They couldn't think fast enough to get out of the way before you landed on top of one of them. You landed on his shoulders and sent him sprawled out on to the ground. The other quickly stepped back confused and shocked at what just happened.


"What the-" as soon as you got your feet under you, you shot forward and tackled the other to the ground before he could finish what he was saying.


"Get off me you crazy chick!" He yelled as he tried to push you off. You dodged his punches and landed a few across his face.


"What did you do to Sarah?!" You yelled as you punched him again and again. You were pulled off by the first guy you had landed on but you kicked him away before he had a good grip.


"I don't know a Sarah! You nut job!" The guy you had been punching screamed as he wiped away blood from his mouth.


"She's the owner of that purse!" You screamed back as you pointed to the Monty original.


"Man she must be a cop." The first guy said, not listening to your words. He started grabbing at the bags of gold and the purses. You run at him and jump high landing flat footed onto his back like he was a stage. He fell onto the bags and the noise of a loud crack was heard.


"AH MY BACK!" He yelled. The guy you punched ran at you with his hands raised ready to strangle you but he never made it. Something wrapped around his ankles and before he knew it he was hanging upside down in the air. You looked at him confused until you saw the dark figure walk out of the shadows of your building.


"You sure like to get into trouble." Batman said in his gruff voice.
