JJ's little ordeal began a few days earlier. He was called into the headmaster's office of Gotham Academy. A rather prestigious private school that the whole family had attended. JJ hated leaving her there while he was off working but she understood. Plus she was staying with her grandfather while he was away. He still remembered that day, leaving Wayne Industries early. He got into the office and there sat his daughter, Barbra, a classmate with a swollen nose and his parents. Apparently the kid had been bullying Barby and she stood up for herself, like he taught her. Of course she'd broken his nose, but he was lucky. With her strength she could've caved in his face, if not decapitated him. They tried to claim he was a bad influence, teaching her wrong manners. JJ simply pointed out that her father was a quasi-action star and she lived in Gotham, a violent city. All valid points, of course he then pointed out that if their son was going to be a bully he should learn to take a punch. That coupled with some apparent bruises Barby had received during training. Next thing he knew JJ was in a court room, listening to a judge. They'd found no signs of abuse, only an active daughter with a mean right cross. JJ left, taking his daughter with him, only to be swarmed by paparazzi. JJ scooped up Barby, clad in a blue and black dress, and did his best to shield her from the cameras. Of course she had the infamous Grayson mouth so of course she just had to say something.
'My daddy's a good man! Better than you could ever hope to be!'
With a sigh he took off down an alley. Evading people was a rather solid skill he'd been trained in. Aside from fighting stealth and intelligence were some of the top things Bats were trained in. As he ran he carried Barby like she was nothing. She'd been prepared for this and wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his chest. It allowed him to move slightly better and she did her best to be aerodynamic. He placed one foot on a wall and jumped onto a dumpster on the opposite side of the alley. She quickly jumped off of him onto the fire escape. JJ quickly followed her and soon enough they were on the roof. JJ and Barby looked down just as the paparazzi came running into the alley. They looked left and right, as people had a tendency to do that before up. That's what gave them time to finish climbing. The paparazzi glanced at the fire escape but the ladder was too high for him to escape with a little girl. Once again JJ had taken advantage of them underestimating an actor and an 8 year old girl.
'We did it daddy! Did I do good?'
She noticed him going quiet, reaching into his coat and quickly became defensive. She balled her hands into fists, looking for a threat.
"We're not alone."
While JJ hadn't drawn yet he had a wing ding shuriken ready to throw. He was often doing random action movies so him having a shuriken wasn't out of the realm of possibility. JJ stepped to shield Barby from whoever else was on the roof, preparing to do whatever was needed to keep her safe.
