---Katherine's P.o.V.---
After our little scene at dinner I exchanged phone numbers with Damian in secret. Alfred offered me a ride back to my apartment which I gladly accepted. Driving through the city I now call home was peaceful as I looked at the skyline. I remembered the memories of me and Damian when we were younger. (A/n: the last conversation they had was a pain in the ass so I'm just gonna write it in English, but they're saying it in Russian.)
***flashback***
"C'mon Lucy! You're so slow!" I yelled, my pure white hair bouncing as we ran in the snow.
"Tsk, snow rabbit, why are you referring to me as a little girl?" He said sharply, though he had a huge grin on his face as he chased me.
"It's short for your real name!" I squealed when he tackled me in the pillowy ice.
"And what would my real name be?" he asked with a smirk, as he rolled next to me to lie on the snow.
"Lucifer!" I screamed while laughing and running away from him.
***end flashback***
I was pulled from my thoughts by Alfred telling me that we've arrived. I grabbed my backpack and thanked his as I made my way out of the limousine.
"My pleasure, Miss Alice. You are welcome at the manor anytime, Master Damian seems very fond of you." Alfred said with a knowing grin. I chuckled as he drove off. I entered my small living room as I speed-dialed Charlotte's number on my phone.
"Hey what's up?" she asked once she picked up.
"I don't think I should take the Wayne job." I said while sitting down on the couch.
"What? Why?" She asked worried.
"I just don't know if I can keep up with the crime life. I think I'm having a negative impact on the world rather than positive." I said with a sigh.
"Oh, so now you're gonna have an existential crisis on me. Anyway, I totally agree with your decision. Honestly, I wish you realized this before you hacked into the Pentagon." she said happily.
"I do agree I should've done it sooner, but if I didn't do the first few, I would still be stuck in the orphanage." I replied. I could almost hear the gears turning in Charlotte's head from the other side of the phone.
"I'm sorry Kat, I have no ideas how you're gonna get a job to pay for your tuition and rent right now."
"I'll figure it out. Maybe I can just do some smaller jobs until I can get a real one. Talk to ya' later Charlotte"
"Bye." she said before I hung up.
I opened my laptop scrolling through several job offers. No, that one's illegal, No, that one breaks the law, no, that one's asking me to kill him, no-OH WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I DO THAT?!
After scrolling through what felt like hundred of emails I found one which wasn't involved in a diabolical plan of world domination. They wanted me to find where a clothing company imports their cotton from? For $8,000? It seemed like a scam, but seeing as I'm now turning down 99% of my jobs because of morals, I don't really have a choice.
The only way I could remotely hack into their system would be through the signal of a laptop which the head of the company keeps with him at all times. The problem? I have to be within a 75 yard radius of it. That was an issue, until I found where his next public appearance would take place.
Bruce Wayne's Annual Christmas Gala.
I was about to try to input Alice into the guest list until I realized something. Won't Damian be there? He'll notice me the moment I step foot into that party. Damn it.
I took out my phone and texted Charlotte.
You: Hey I need a favor

Char-Char: So? Can't you just put your name on the guest list?

Char-Char: I'm assuming the usual disguise?
Char-Char: Hair dye and contacts?
You: Yup
You: Thx Char!
Char-Char: No prob Bob
I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth before going to sleep. I lied down on my bed and stared at the ceiling to think of the day ahead. Why did I have to be part of that stupid group project?
