"Y/N!" My Dad shouted from down the stairs "I'm coming..." I said, getting out of bed and putting on a janitors uniform with a big W on the back "You better be! You're working at WAYNE ENTERPRISES now!" I could tell he was happy for me even though I was just a janitor. "Is Ma home?" I asked my Dad, he paused for a second "No, she had to get to work a bit earlier today." I grabbed my backpack that held my hoodie

I ran down the stairs "But, she made you some wheat cakes!" He said, handing me a bag that held my Moms famous wheat cakes "No get outta here! Can't be late on the first day!" He said, ushering me out the door "And remember, with great-" I already knew what he was saying "Comes great responsibility, Love ya Dad." I said, while running out the door, excited for the day.

And remembered I live in Gotham, the smell alone was enough to kill a man, but the crime is what will really kill you. Luckily you lived close to the subway. I got on the train and put on my headphones. As I exited the subway with the mass of people I took of my headphones, looking at the big W as Dad would say.

I entered the building, "Why would they need another janitor..." I thought, the floors were sparkling black. I walked up to the man who was sitting at the front desk "Name?" He said like he was being paid less than minimum wage "Y/N ,L/N, I'm the new janitor." He glanced at me "The names Henry." He shook my hand "Go down the left hall, take a right from there, then you'll see the janitors room, in there you'll find the other janitor." He said, as if he memorized every room in this place

I followed Henry's directions, and found the janitors room "Hello?" I asked, entering the room "Come in." a old voice said "Hi, my names Y/N, L/N, I'm the ne-" He put on his cap "My replacement." I noticed how old he was "My names Adrian Toomes. You should know what a janitor does, take this key card and cleaning supplies and get out of here." He said, handing me a key card and pointing to some cleaning supplies. "Go clean up room 8J, otherwise known as lab 1."

I entered the elevator "Hey Adri- hey aren't you that new kid." I turned to face him "Yeah, my names Y-" HOLY SHIT IT'S BRUCE WAYNE " Y/N L/N, you already know me I think." He said. "Yeah, Yeah! Of course I know you!" The elevator dinged, floor 7. "Well looks like this is my stop, see you around kid." He said, leaving the elevator "It was nice to meet you Boss!" I said as the doors shut "Boss? Boss?! He's the richest man alive and I called him BOSS!" I said to myself as the doors opened. 

I entered floor 8 and saw some scientists leaving a room down the hall. "Hello." I said to the scientists passing by, I got no response. I got to room 8J 'The spider room'. Spiders, wonderful. I entered the room turning the lights on, I saw a table with a web on it,  some tools, and a VERY dirty floor. So, I started my job. 

When I felt something crawl on my arm. "SHIT!" It was the spider, before I was able to hit it, it bit me "OW, SON OF A!" I hit the spider off my arm, but that killed it. "Oh shit..." I said to myself, beginning to panic. First of, is that gonna kill me? Second of, WELL SHIT I JUST LOST MY JOB. So, I grabbed my stuff and the spider and got to the nearest trash can "Please don't kill me..." I said to myself

After my shift ended at 11:00 I started to run home, my brain was aching like it was about to explode when BOOM! a explosion went off in the subway and the FUCKING JOKER EMERGED, so I ran and hid in a alley.

After about five minutes, I turned the corner and saw Batman, Robin, and Batgirl fighting the clown prince of crime. "Oh thank god..." I said to myself and after about 20 minutes it was safe to run, but, my hands wouldn't move from the wall, like they literally won't move. After about 5 minutes of trying I got them unstuck and then ran home
