Chapter Text
18-year-old Min Yoshine was staring out from her seat, staring the moving blur of Gotham City to tree sceneries, seeing as she fidgets her bag handle in nervously with Gotham’s billionaire and bachelor, Bruce Wayne next to her as a driver. The older man glimpse at the young girl’s nervousness, Bruce Wayne was all too familiar with this.
Having to lose your parents in unexpected ways can change any child’s life; be it getting murdered, an accident, being caught in the crossfire, and many more; but Yoshine… her parents met a tragic end by getting caught in a crossfire by a robber misfire.
There was so much blood oozing out from her parents’ bodies, that she wasn’t even able to process everything, her expression was blank, as if her emotional system was shut down immediately to have been slow to acknowledge that her parents were dead.
Bruce Wayne took a sneak glance at the young girl, the young girl seemed to be somewhat handled it better, he thought, but he knew better than that, Yoshine was still in the trance of processing the death of her parents. He could see the young girl fidgeting over her trap bag that was filled with what seemed to be full of yarns and half-finished projects along with knitting needles and crochet hooks.
Though it would seem that Yoshine likes to do these kinds of hobbies, which is good. Good, because she might get a proper coping mechanism unlike his dysfunctional family, each of them had a different coping mechanism and … umm… let’s just half or a quarter of their coping mechanism were not entirely healthy per se…… perhaps he could buy her some yarn store if she wished to do so.
Seeing his house was getting closer, he could notice the slight awe of sparkle in her eyes of admiring the old manor building upfront of their view.
Given that Bruce had tried to come up with a small talk with Yoshine, was really awkward.
“This is going to be your new home, Yoshine. I hope you will get along well with the others.” Bruce struck up a small conversation with the young girl.
“I hope so… I’m not sure they’ll like me or anything… I don’t want to destroy your dynamics with them…” she nervously stated, being careful with her words, slowly coming out from the luxurious car and seeing an elder butler out front ready to greet in warm open arms.
“Welcome back Master Bruce, and welcome Miss Yoshine to the Wayne manor. I am Alfred Pennyworth, you could call me Alfred if you like.” The butler greeted as he went over to grab the rest of her luggages. To which Yoshine stammers her nerves as she greets back the to the butler with a slight bow.
“I-its nice to meet you, Alfred sir.”
“Do please, Miss Yoshine, call me Alfred.” He smiled warmly at her. The wise elderly butler could see Yoshine seems to be a bright child with a wonderful future ahead of her. Unfortunately, fate has somewhat tempered her life for her to loose such wonderful parents. No number of children should ever go through that, not even this bright beautiful child in front of him now.
To which Yoshine smiles at Alfred, giving herself a deep breath, steadying herself, prepping for worse case scenarios… was that she’s holding in a very very large secret that she thinks the Waynes had something to hide, one that she had been guarding with her life ever since she did numbers of research of Gotham City when her parents decided that she could take a vacation there after graduation.
But it was also a fact she just stumbled it by accident when she connected the dots from the news and information she did back home. Honestly, she didn’t expect that she would now go live with a family full of capability seeing how she noticed Bruce's body structure, for a young girl who works out ever so often at times, she could recognize that he did this often, her guess was just as good as she thinks that the possibilities that she had wish that she never know about their secret and remain oblivious to it.
To her dismay, her overthinking had caused her a top utmost secret that no one and she means no one supposed to know.
That she held one secret in her hand, one that she was willing to keep their secret until the time was right for them to reveal their secret.
That she knew that she was now going to navigate her new life in the Wayne manor full of vigilantes.
