As Epsilon looked for our next target I thought about how I ended up here. I think it started after my mother died. She died when I was 5. I don’t remember a lot about her only the smell of the old books she was always fixing. After her death my father started drinking. Because of his drinking problem, he couldn’t hold down a steady job, so I decided to help out. I had taken some fencing classes before my mother died and I had always had a way with computers so becoming a thief seamed like the best way to make money. I’ve been doing this for 10 years now with the final goal being to leave Gotham. A chirp from Epsilon reminded me what I was doing. “Have you found something?” a picture of a manor appeared on the screen. “Wayne manor? That has the most state-of-the-art security system. Are you sure you can override it?” Epsilon beeped angrily. “Ok, ok I’m sorry, gees you don’t need to get all worked up over it.” I put her back in the messenger bag. I ran down the stairs to the underground garage. There was where I kept my bike. I walked it out of the garage, put on my helmet, and drove off to Wayne manor.

I stopped a block away, removed my helmet, and hid my bike in some shrubs. I walked to the wall around the manor. “Time to work your magic, Epsilon,” I whispered as I pulled her out of my bag. Five minutes latter she pinged to tell me she had overridden the security system. I put her back into the bag and climbed over the wall. As I sunk up to the manor I thought back to my dream. No one with my past can become a hero. Once a thief always a thief. I crawled under a partial opened window. Looking in and seeing no one, I pushed it opened and climbed in. “Where to Epsilon?” I pulled her out and looked at the map that popped up. I followed the map into the study. “If I was a safe where would I hide?” I looked behind every painting. I finally found it behind the painting of Martha and Thomas Wayne. The lock was a keypad kind. This kind uses a 4 number code. I dusted the keys to see which ones where used. Then I typed them in to Epsilon so she can come up with the most likely combination. After a minute she came up with one. I set her on the near by desk and punch the code in. The safe door unlocked and I pulled it open. A noise made me turn around to see who was behind me. I let out a gasp when I saw them. The ones everyone talks about in whispers, Batman and Robin.
