Another Story I wrote a while ago, I figured I might as well post it.

I love Reviews, A lot.

Disclaimer: I don't own Batman, I wished I owned Christian Bale though. But I don't. I do own Andrea and Kimber, Please don't steal.

Loud applause filled the streets as she walked up to the stage. Gotham city roared in encouragement as the new District Attorney walked up onto the stage. She smiled as the mayor shook her hand firmly and smiled back.

"Congratulations!" He whispered. She gave an appreciative smile back and walked up to the podium. She waited for the people to calm down before she spoke.

"Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you to the people of Gotham for electing me as your new district attorney! I can't tell you… actually I can, I'm beside myself that you chose me for your new D.A. and to be quite honest, I wasn't sure I heard right when I got the call. So a few minutes and thousands of pinches on the arm later, it was confirmed and I could not be happier.

As you know, I came to Gotham with a different goal than being the new district attorney, but times and goals change, and I now stand in front of you, humbled, and eager to do my job and protect Gotham by the law. Thank you." She spoke, earning a loud applause for her speech. She quickly waved and got off the podium, desperately trying to get out of the public's eyes. When she entered the car, she found her new assistant D.A. smiling back at her.

"Nice speech Andrea! Short, simple, and it totally screams working business woman." Andrea rolled her green eyes and looked at the woman in front of her.

"You know, criminals are going to try and take advantage of us, Kimber. After all we are the first all female D.A. team." She told her friend, who merely smirked in return.

"I'm up for the challenge, are you?" She asked. Andrea smiled and pushed a piece of her blonde hair away from her face which had fallen out of the very business looking bun that she had it in.

"Did you ever get that list I asked you for?" Andrea asked, getting back to business. Kimber nodded and pulled out a briefcase. Opening it, she went through several folders before producing a green one and showed Andrea.

"Here you go, a list of all the people coming in and out of Gotham. I asked for the list to be faxed over once every week." Kimber told her. Andrea nodded and looked at the list, raising an eyebrow at the last name on it.

"Bruce Wayne? I thought most of the rich socialites left the city a while ago." Andrea mused. Kimber shrugged.

"His whole business is stationed here in Gotham, so I suppose he can't afford to be too far away." Kimber mused as she looked through another folder. Andrea nodded and looked out the window; it would be dark soon, letting Gotham's criminals run free. She sighed..

"The scum of the world will be running around soon." She mumbled. Kimber looked out the window and nodded.

"Well, now that Batman is one of them, they're not scared anymore." Andrea's lips pressed together; she hated thinking that Batman was the only one who brought down the crime level. Yet it was true, especially now since he had been missing for about a year. The car passed a sign that had a picture of her from her campaign and she looked at her best friend.

"We're going to change that." She told her. Kimber smiled widely and nodded.

----------

"Master Wayne, It's wonderful to see you again." Alfred spoke upon seeing his employer. Bruce smiled warmly at the old man and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's good to be back. Did anything interesting happen while I was gone?" He asked as they walked out of the airport. Just as he did, he saw a bus drive by supporting the campaign of the new D.A. Alfred smiled.

"Other than a new election, nothing." He replied. Bruce rolled his eyes and got in the back of the car parked in front of them while Alfred got in the front.

"I hope your vacation was suitable?" Alfred asked. Bruce nodded in response. The whole point of this 'vacation' was to escape the problems he held in Gotham; both for Batman and Bruce Wayne. Bruce glanced over at the newspaper sitting next to him and picked it up. He read the name of the new D.A. carefully before looking at Alfred.

"Who is this?" He asked. Alfred looked back in the rear view mirror and saw he was holding up the newspaper.

"Ms. Dent, the new District Attorney. I read that she is the sister of Mr. Harvey Dent." Alfred announced. Bruce looked at her picture.

She looked to be in her early 30's, according to her picture in the article. She had a very business woman look to her, with the dark blue business suit she wore, and the briefcase she held in her left hand. Her emerald green eyes held a determined fire, one he had not seen in someone since, Harvey.

She looked a lot like Harvey, despite a few characteristics. Her face was a bit rounder and she had a softer look to her. Her hair was the same blonde color as her brother's was, but her hair was much longer and had a bit more volume. However, her eyes were a completely different shade than Harvey's. Instead, it was a vibrant emerald green, yet it still held the same fire his once had, maybe even more passionate.

"Fine looking woman, isn't she Master Bruce?" Alfred spoke from the front, seeing his employer take much more than a cursory look over the new district attorney. Bruce tore his eyes away from the picture and looked at Alfred.

"She is alright." He said, putting the paper back on the seat. Alfred smirked and looked back to the road. Bruce looked out the window and saw a sign. It clearly showed Gotham's view of Batman. He sighed heavily, realizing that Gotham still was angry with him, even after a year. Somehow, it hurt him more than he thought it would.

Gotham doesn't support 'Heroes' with a mask

"Hey Andy, how is your first day as the new D.A. going?" Kimber asked with a smile as she entered her friend's new office the next day. Andrea looked up from her laptop and smiled as Kimber came and sat down in front of her.

"Busy! I already have five cases that are being piled on my desk, I have to meet with Commissioner Gordon, and I have a request to go and meet with the doctor at Arkham Insane Asylum." Kimber raised an eyebrow.

"Why? What does he want?" Kimber asked, looking at her friend who was still typing on her keyboard. Andrea stopped and looked at Kimber.

"I'm meeting with the Joker." She announced. Kimber sighed and shook her head.

"Andrea, don't do this to yourself." Andrea rolled her eyes.

"I'm not doing anything. I want to see the man who helped ruin my brother's life." Kimber bit her bottom lip.

"And what happens after that? Are you going to go after Batman?" Andrea was silent and Kimber stood up.

"Andy, you have a duty to this city, don't forget that." She told her as she walked out of Andrea's office. Andrea stared at her office desk for a moment before she picked up the phone and dialed a number.. A few rings later someone picked up.

"Hello, I'm Andrea Dent and I 'm calling to cancel my appointment. No, I'm sure. Thank you." She said as she put the phone down and looked back at the door, where Kimber now stood. Kimber smiled and Andrea rolled her eyes.

"Thank you." Kimber said. Andrea rolled her eyes and opened another file, looking it over and moving a few notes on her computer.

-----------

"Find anything interesting?" Alfred asked. Bruce turned around and looked as his butler as he handed him a cup of coffee. He then looked back at his computer screen, where a lovely picture of Ms. Dent was open.

"Andrea Elizabeth Dent; born in Gotham city. She is twenty-seven years old and has a degree in law from Harvard." He told Alfred, who nodded in approval.

"She seems like a respectable young lady." Bruce nodded and pulled up a picture of Harvey and placed it next to his sister's.

"I wonder if she knew what happened." Bruce wondered out loud. Alfred looked at his master before shrugging.

"I'm not sure sir; she might be under the same impression the rest of the city is." Bruce nodded and walked away from his computer; he wanted to find out if this new D.A. was good enough for Gotham. But if she was anything like her brother, he knew she would be just fine.

------------

"Ms. Dent, Commissioner Gordon will see you now." A woman said from her desk. Andrea nodded and stood up, walking into his office without waiting for any farther instruction. Inside, Commissioner Gordon was sitting at his desk and going over a few things with his men. When she entered the room, the commissioner dismissed his men and stood up. When they were gone, he smiled warmly at her.

"Ms. Dent, pleasure to meet you,"

"Same to you, Commissioner. May I sit?" She asked.

"Yes, yes, of course." Gordon responded. They both took their seats and there was a brief silence. Gordon spoke first.

"So what can I do for you, Ms. Dent?"

"Commissioner, being the new D.A., I'm also quite new to the city. It's been a while since I've lived here and I want to be able to clean up the streets as best as I can, but I can't do it without someone who is trustworthy and who knows these streets better than anyone else." She explained to him.

"So, you're asking for us to join teams." He stated. She nodded.

"I'm not going to interfere with your job, Commissioner. I just need someone to trust; someone I know is going to be completely honest with me and I them." The commissioner seemed to muse over this for a moment before nodding.

"Of course, anything to help the new D.A." He said, extending his hand. Andrea shook it and smiled.

"Thank you, Commissioner. I will be getting back to you shortly." She said, turning to leave. The Commissioner laughed, causing her to turn around and look.

"Getting to work so early in your term?" He asked, admiring her perseverance. She smiled and nodded.

"It's a lot of work cleaning up a city that never sits still." She replied, turning to the door and leaving. The Commissioner turned and looked out his window.

"Perhaps Ms. Dent will be the first to successfully clean up the streets without working with Batman." He thought.

----------

Two weeks later

"Mr. Collins, is it true that you saw this man," Andrea asked, pointing toward a man sitting in the defense case who bore a smug look on his face. "Near the building while drugs were being shipped to a van?" The man shrugged.

"Maybe." He simply said. She gave him a confused look before turning back to her desk where Kimber handed her a paper.

"According to this confession that you signed, you did.."

"Maybe I lied." He told her. The judge gave a heavy sigh before looking at Andrea, who pressed her lips together.

"Mr. Collins, remember that you are under an oath that says you must tell the truth."

"That's the oath to god right?" He asked.

"Yes it is." She confirmed. He gave her a wicked smirk..

"I'm an atheist." She gave a frustrated sigh and turned around, glaring at the mobster in front of her. She was extremely pissed at the temporary D.A., that had taken the place of Harvey, had screwed up so badly. Now that the mob had regrouped, these men were much smarter. The mobster smirked as he looked her up and down, obviously admiring her choice of clothes.

"I know this is a bit repetitive, but…" Someone spoke, cutting through her train of thought. Andrea turned around, only to be met with a pistol to her forehead. The man smirked and she glared at him.

"Repetitive is an understatement." She commented.

"Like brother, like sister." He stated. She quickly ducked under the gun as he pulled the trigger, causing him to shoot his boss in the kneecap. She knocked the gun out of his hand and punched him in the face, forcing him to fall back into a security guard. She rolled her eyes and walked up to the mobster boss, who was currently trying not to scream, though it must have been difficult. Andrea figured being shot in the knee cap would have hurt like a bitch.

"Why don't you try and be more original; the same routine is getting old." She stated as she walked to her desk and picked up her briefcase.

"Ms. Dent, we have not dismissed this court." The judge reminded her. Andrea looked at the defendant who had finally let out a loud cry of pain and slammed his fist against the table.

"Mr. Dowell says differently." She told her. The judge rolled her eyes and ordered that Mr. Collins be put in a cell until there was a set date for him to be retried. Andrea walked out of the courtroom with Kimber by her side.

"Nice Andy; the mob is after you already." She playfully jested. Andrea rolled her eyes and began to put her coat on.

"Well, with ten cases filled with nothing, but putting away the mob's workers, it's no wonder they're pissed." She thought. She was so busy talking to her friend that she didn't see the man that ran into her, knocking her briefcase out of her hand and scattering all her papers. She gave a frustrated sigh and bent down, trying not to let anyone see up her skirt, to pick up her things.

"I'm so sorry." She heard him say, handing her some papers. She looked up and her emerald green eyes met a wonderfully warm pair of hazel. She took the papers and stuffed them into her briefcase before standing up.

"It's okay; I wasn't paying attention." She muttered. She looked him over and finally realized who he was and how attractive he was.

"I'm Bruce Wayne; you must be Ms. Dent." He stated, smirking slightly. The smirk made her feel like she couldn't stand still. She was filled with a sudden wave of excitement and it was bubbling over. She felt Kimber stand next to her and she was pulled back to reality. She blushed realizing she was at a lost for words.

"Yes, she is," Kimber said, saving her. Andrea finally found her composure.

"Sorry, it's been a long day" She rationalized. Bruce nodded his head.

"I bet. I saw what you did in the court room; it was very brave of you." He told her. She gave a shy smile as her cheeks turned pink.

"Thank you Mr. Wayne. I'm sure you would've done the same." She replied.

"I'm not so sure; I'm not one for getting my hands dirty." He explained. Kimber smirked and looked to the floor.

"I'm sure there are a lot of other things you can do with your hands." She muttered so that only Andrea could hear her. Andrea nudged her friend's foot and tried not to let her cheeks get any redder. Bruce raised an eyebrow at the women.

"So, what brings you to the court house today Mr. Wayne?" Andrea asked, trying to distract him.

"I'm holding a fundraiser in a few months. The only problem I have is who I'm going to fund." Andrea nodded.

"It's nice to know that some of the more privileged people of Gotham are trying to help out." Bruce smiled.

"That's an interesting way of putting it." He remarked.

"Are you thinking of helping to fundraise the law firm?" Kimber asked. He shrugged.

"I was thinking about it, but I'm not sure." He said, looking around the court house lobby. Andrea nodded.

"Well, I think it's a great idea." Andrea stated. Kimber nodded in agreement and looked at her watch.

"We need to go. We have to get our notes together; we have a case to try at four." Kimber told Andrea, who nodded.

"You guys never rest, do you?" Bruce asked, a grin appearing on his face.

"Criminals don't take a break, so neither do we." Andrea told him, lifting her chin up a bit in an attempt to show how proud she was of her job. Bruce chuckled and nodded.

"Hopefully I'll see you around." He told her. Andrea smiled and blushed a bit.

"Maybe. It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wayne." She said extending her arm for a hand shake, but was surprised when he took it and kissed it lightly. Kimber smirked as Andrea turned scarlet.

"The pleasure is all mine." He replied smoothly. She smirked and pulled her hand back.

"Time to go." Kimber said, pulling her friend away. Andrea smiled and waved goodbye to Bruce, who waved in return. Once in the car, Kimber broke down into fits of laughter.

"What?" Andrea asked, not fully understanding her friend's humor.

"You can take on the scum of Gotham, but come face-to-face with a hot, rich, billionaire and you're completely out of words." Kimber stated. Andrea rolled her eyes and opened her briefcase, sighing heavily at the mess of papers, and began to organize them.

-----------

Bruce smiled as Ms. Dent walked out of the room. She was completely confident in the court room, handling her own with even the toughest criminals. Yet she was so down to earth and shy when it came to life outside the court room. It was so different from Harvey, who was confident anywhere and everywhere. Andrea wasn't.

Bruce realized there were a lot of things about Andrea that were different from Harvey. For one, he found her to be much more attractive, though that might be due to the fact he wasn't into guys. However, Bruce noticed that she had a charm about her that he found quite attractive. Alfred walked over to him and glanced back at the door.

"That's Ms. Dent, is it not?" He asked. Bruce nodded and began to walk out of the building with Alfred walking right next to him.

"I think I know who I'm going to hold the fundraiser for." Bruce told his old friend as they entered the car.

"It wouldn't happen to be Ms. Dent, would it?" Bruce said nothing, but smiled at the old man. "She is a very attractive young woman."

"Yes, she is." Bruce admitted, and it wasn't a lie. She was beautiful in the picture, but that was magnified by her simple presence. She had a certain shy beauty about her, which was a different kind of attraction for Bruce. Harvey wasn't shy at all; he spoke out in public and stood against anyone anywhere. But Andrea was a different story.

She did her job and she did it well, but when it came to everything else, she sat back and watched. She wasn't flashy; she dressed pretty conservative with knee length skirts, long sleeved jackets, and button up shirts. Yet, the jacket she wore fit her figure if she buttoned it up and her skirt shaped her hips wonderfully.

"Should I send the first invitation to Ms. Dent and her assistant D.A.?" Bruce looked at his butler and nodded.

"That would be most appreciative."
