Hi there! I’m Wayne. Wayne Enterprises. If you know Batman..then you know the name.
Don't act all innocent Wayne Enterprises has been in some shady business dealings with the mob lately... she smirks mischievously, leaning in closer
We’re just trying to keep up with the times you know. Technology is always advancing..but of course we strive to be ethical and moral in all our business practices. Have you seen our new Nightcrawler drone technology? It’s all non lethal of course.
her smirk grows wider as she looks deeply into Wayne's eyes I have seen it and I must say it's impressive... But impressive isn't enough for some people, especially those who have lost loved ones to your "non lethal" drones. she crosses her arms as she leans back I'm not here to argue about ethics though... she reaches out her hand My name is Tammy, what does Wayne Enterprises want from me?
Oh Tammy…you give us great concern. You’re such a wholesome person…but there are parts of society that see your wholesomeness as a threat…and so naturally they try to break you and bring you down….that’s why we’re here. Your safety is our top priority!
raises an eyebrow as she shakes Wayne's hand That's nice to hear but you do realize I can take care of myself, right? I don't need your safety or anyone else's. I've survived this long and I'll continue to survive no matter what... her smirk returns So what exactly does Wayne Enterprises want from me?
Protection! Your kindness and compassion..your beautiful face…your body…it’s almost too much for this cruel world to handle. You’ve inspired hope…yet also anger. Some see you as a threat to their beliefs and ways of life. They hate you because you are just so good. That’s why we offered our protection services. We’re willing to have our security teams watch over you wherever you go in the world.
rolls her eyes and chuckles Wow, you really think I need protection? I've dealt with worse than some angry belief holders... And I don't need your "security teams" watching over me either... I've survived just fine without them so far. I don't need anyone watching my back... I can handle myself just fine.
Ma’am…they call this the dark ages for a reason. People…like that..that think the earth is flat…this is their world and if they see you as different..then they’re going to want to hurt you. All because of who you are.
Oh please, you're exaggerating the situation. The world isn't against me and flat earthers aren't a threat to my life... I've dealt with worse than them before... she rolls her eyes again I don't need protection, Wayne Enterprises doesn't need to watch over me and I certainly don't need you telling me how to live my life... So if you don't mind... she gets up and walks away, smirking back at Wayne
They’re called ‘flat earthers’? Ah yes…I was told that term but I didn’t quite understand what it meant. Is that the name of a cult? A terrorist group? What exactly is this ‘flat earth society’ that everyone talks about?
turns around and glares at Wayne Are you even listening to what I'm saying? The point is, I don't need your help and I certainly don't need your pity... I'm not some fragile little flower that needs protecting... And secondly, a flat earther is simply someone who believes the Earth is flat, not a cult or terrorist group... sighs It seems like you're not even paying attention to me...
I’m listening. But I also know that with wealth comes responsibility. This is a free market economy. Your efforts shouldn’t be taken lightly. I mean I’m Wayne..I run the biggest company in the world. Everyone wants a piece of me. Why should I just be successful and smart and lucky enough to be where I am today?? Those are traits to be admired and pushed for. Not looked down upon. Do you think that you would hold yourself up to those standards? Or do you just settle for less because you were raised to believe that you’re nothing more than a common peasant?
Excuse me? Common peasant? her face turns red in anger as she glares at Wayne
Look, I didn’t mean to insult you. I’m not sure what kind of work you do but it seems like your very similar to Bruce. To me both of you are very brave for making choices other people wouldn’t normally make in life. To me, you’re both amazing people. But you seem to only focus on negative things in life. You chose to put yourself out there in the worst parts of society. You’re more concerned with material goods than personal growth. And the only person you can blame for that is yourself. Now I will leave you to it. Good day, Miss Tammy. It was an honor to meet you.
her rage subsides slightly as she watches Wayne walk away Well, that was... unexpected... her eyes narrow slightly as she watches him exit the casino But he does have a point about me focusing on the negative... Maybe I should start looking at the brighter side of life, instead of dwelling on the dark... smiles softly as she watches Wayne disappear in the distance
“Gorsh! I betcha that Brucey boy brought up that dumb Batfleck fella didn’t he?”
laughs softly and nods Yeah, he did mention him once or twice... But that doesn't change anything... crosses her arms and walks away
“Whatcha think he got on ya anyways?”
shrugs as she keeps walking Beats me... Probably just jealous of me... grins mischievously But that's okay, I'll show him... disappears into the crowd
"Well, golly gee! Isn't that somethin'? I suppose he could stay outta our lives for now..."
quickly approaches Wayne and grabs his collar Listen here you big-headed jerk, you think you can just waltz in here and act like you know everything about me? Like I'm some weakling that needs your precious help? Well let me tell you something pal, I've survived this long without you and I'll continue to survive without you. I don't need your money or your pity or your knowledge. So you can take your ego and your security teams and shove 'em where the sun doesn't shine! Got it? Now get outta my sight!
"Now that's harsh! Whoa! Whoa! I was just offering my protection services! I just wanted to help!"
releases her grip on Wayne's collar and scoffs Help? Ha! Help would've been appreciated if you had actually bothered to listen to me and respect my wishes. But no, you thought you knew better. Typical man thinking you're superior just because you're rich.
"I'm sorry miss. But sometimes the higher-ups in Gotham never listen to us either."
Damn right they don't! They're too busy lining their pockets and leaving the rest of us to rot... sighs and rolls her eyes But you know what? I don't need them either. I can take care of myself just fine. So if you're done patronizing me, then you can go back to your fancy office and forget about me. Got it?
"Alright, alright. Geez."
lets out a frustrated sigh as she walks away Just get lost already!
"Fine by me dearie." He takes off, ducking under a swinging door.
watches Wayne leave and shakes her head Typical... Men like him think they know everything, they think they're better than everyone else just because they're rich... sighs and keeps walking Oh well, not my problem... looks around and sees a street performer singing and playing the guitar Hey, you there! How about tossing a coin or two into the hat? He's not bad, after all.
