A Whole New World-- Chapter 1 Part 2

If Tatsu ever needed a little something to keep the residents of Wayne manor occupied, chasing down a Green Lantern while wearing nothing but the same jacket you wear on your patrol? Not what she had in mind. In any case, this guest needed the welcoming she needed,even if Bruce was not really going to accept her at first. Tatsu knew that the girl was just on the other side of the immense white cedar doors that guarded the manor so carefully, but Bruce halted her. "Stand down Katana", Bruce cautioned, "This 'Green Lantern' could be hostile, so take every precaution." Tatsu nodded, clutching her sword   and hesitantly, with the guards permission, creaked open the door, where the Green Lantern girl sat shivering in the cold autumn wind. She was about Tatsu's age due to her height, with skeletal green fingers folded over what appeared to be pure silver gloves. Her exposed neck and part of her chest were green, containing the unmistakable symbol of the Green Lanterns, as well as the rest of her face, with two of the most beautiful cerulean eyes Tatsu had ever seen. "You weren't kidding," Tatsu whispered to Alfred, "It is a Green Lantern!" Turning to the girl,kneeling down and taking her hand in hers, she asked "What's your name, Green Lantern?"
The girl timidly looked up at Tatsu's smiling brown eyes, then towards Bruce's dour expression on his face, then to Alfred, and replied softly "It is a pleasure to meet you. You may call me Aya."
"A pretty name for a pretty lady," Alfred muttered to Bruce, who turned his cold blue eyes towards Aya and strode over to her until he was towering over her, which made Aya jump to her feet, which thudded against the grass. "Could you have gone somewhere else to annoy the residents that live there?"
"N-No," Aya stammered, "N-no one else would--- "
"Then go home," Bruce finished, "Because it's late."
"That's not of your concern, Mr Wayne," Aya replied rather coldly. "As of this moment, I am still alive and in need of shelter till someone finds me or kills me again! Don't try to take it--" With a thunderous smack across her face, all of Aya's self-control was gone; she burst into a solemn weeping which reluctantly sent her off. Pointing an accusatory finger at Bruce, Tatsu fumed venomously "What the hell is wrong with you? Aya did not mean any harm to any of us!"
"Tatsu is right," Alfred agreed, "She never laid a finger on anyone. Not even you!"
"It's all in your heads, everyone," Bruce calmed them, "Go home and get some sleep."
"I'll sleep when you're dead," Tatsu hissed, putting on her mask. "I'm going to find her and bring her back to the manor where it is safe. You want to be a miser all your life? Go ahead, do it!! You don't know the meaning of friendship when you see it. So don't remind everyone of that fact!" With that, Tatsu ran off down the manor steps, ignoring Alfred's order to come back. Bruce laid a hand on his shoulder. "Let her go," he told him, his gaze fixed on Tatsu. "Aya, if that's her real name, will be long gone by the time  Tatsu comes back."

A Whole New World-- A "Beware The Batman" and "Green Lantern The Animated Series" crossover

I know it has been a long time since I updated this blog, but I'll make it up to you; here is my first crossover story featuring my two favorite characters: Katana  from "Beware the Batman" and Aya from "Green Lantern The Animated series".

The soreness of her arms grew intense. Honestly, Bruce had overworked Tatsu over the last week. Clad in only a creamy white undershirt grown pungent with overuse and dark sweatpants tightening around her ankles, Tatsu wondered how much more training she could take before she passed out for good. Even a date with Jason would have been better than this! Besides, Tatsu thought, smiling a little now as she rubbed her sore left arm, he's odd, but at least he is not like the villains that try to capture me. He at least calms the stress in my life. With a sigh, Tatsu ceased rubbing her left arm and started to rub her right. "Just breathe", she muttered, seemingly to her arms. "Remember, Bruce is thick-headed and unpredictable for one thing. For another, he is still weak and vulnerable. With a few more months, you'll see how strong he is. You'll see..." An ascending footfall jerked Tatsu awake from her scheming, followed by a sharp, staccato tap-tap-tap  on her door. Assuming it was Bruce, Tatsu stopped rubbing her arm and groaned, "Will you leave me the hell alone, Bruce?!", before swinging open the door. Surprisingly, it was Alfred, her godfather and Bruce's butler, who was on the other side of the door. He was a strapping man despite his old age, with grey eyes and a sharp, curving nose like an old falcon. His height was of over 6 feet and his broad shoulders made him seem a bit taller than he actually was. He was dressed in his usual butler attire: Black suit and tie with white cuffs, black pants with shoes to match. Tatsu always teased him about going for something brighter to wear, but she loved the outfit just the same. However, there was a different glow in his eyes as Tatsu stared at him blankly; there was a glow of excited fear.
"Tatsu, come down at once!" Alfred cried in a rush, forcing Tatsu to snap out of her daze and offer him a spot on her bed. Alfred accepted the offer but made no inclination to sit down. "Major, relax," Tatsu coaxed gently, "You've probably had a nightmare or something. Go to bed."
"Tatsu, I assure you," Alfred continued, his voice rising, "what I saw on the watch was no dream. I found a girl on our doorstep!"
"Does Bruce know about this?"
"I tried to tell him but he told me the same thing," Alfred replied, "the girl was about your age, I think ,and she had the most beautiful blue eyes you've ever seen. The peculiar thing I noticed about her: Her skin was green! Green as an emerald! We have a Green Lantern in our house!"
In stunned silence, Tatsu processed what she had just heard; to have a guest in the Manor at all was unusual, but a Green Lantern? Now that was something Tatsu had to see to believe. "If she is a Green Lantern like you said", Tatsu noted,ditching the rancid undershirt quickly for a new one, "then let's go see what she really looks like before Bruce judges her presence." Alfred nodded his reply and hurried out the door and went to tell Bruce exactly what he saw. Putting on her flat boots, knee-high at the height, was already tricky if she weren't rushing about like a hurricane making landfall towards the entrance. Now it was harder than ever for Tatsu to hurry up and meet Alfred and a reluctant Bruce Wayne at the door. Her sword strapped to her back was only complicating matters, for every time she sped up her run, the sword would drop to the floor and Tatsu, cursing under her breath in Japanese, rushed to pick it up before Bruce could yell at her. What is the big deal with a Green Lantern,anyway? Tatsu thought, Aren't they supposed to be on Oa, where they belong? Unless... the girl somehow had escaped.

Reflection on commmercial

When I first did my commercial for Beemo, my video playing doll, my partner Sanskriti was not here. Apparently she was on vacation and left me with no partners. Luckily, my two friends Kathlyn and Rosebeli decided to help me do the commercial, though they were working on their own commercial. At first, we said all our lines correctly and we did what we were supposed to do. We screwed up sometimes, but hey, it's just what me and my friends do.
