Maddie stared out of her bedroom window at the slowly setting sun over the horizon of Naples. The family had moved there recently, her parent's decision, they didn't know how they were going to handle, Maddie going away from home while at university, they had no idea how they were supposed to handle her going halfway across the world to fight crime in America. Maddie was rather solemn about the whole thing, she was ecstatic about getting to go to America, and even more excited about the possibility of meeting Batman. 

However, underneath all this excitement was the resounding possibility of being injured for life. She had been informed by the Italian representative of Batman Incorporated about what had happened to Robin, and even, Ves as of recent, it was only fair for Maddie to know what she was getting into. Along with the nervousness, was her sadness for leaving. She loved her home country and her parents, and was sorry to leave them at such short notice.

She sighed, turning from her window to her room and staring at the mirror. It was going to be a long flight to America that was for sure, but old Bats' had paid for first class. The benefits of being a young hero it seemed.

Maddie carried a sports bag slung over her shoulder as she made her way up the stairs to the meeting place. She stopped when she reached the top step, taking her signature bandana out of her pocket and tying it around her head. She rubbed her tired eyes, still jet lagged from the flight. She moved around the corner to see the door to the room was already open, with a few people inside. She wandered in, shutting the door behind her and gazing at the people inside. They were a ragtag bunch that was for sure.
