"It's finally here!" Wildly, with a finger that shakes in excitement, Maps points to the month on her phone's calendar. "The best month of the entire year, every year!"

"Really? Really really really? Thank you!" Maps is jumping up and down like an over-excitable child, before making a mad dash right to the Batmobile. This was gonna be fun.
"Wait, I shoulda asked first, but is the Batmobile automatic or manual?"
"So, I got the punching-people-part good, the sneaking-around-people-part good, and the throwing-things-at-people-part good. Can I learn how to drive the Batmobile now?"

"Phonebook." Maps answers instantly. They were surprisingly helpful. Maps is considering starting another collection.
“That really spooked you.” - Maps
Noticing Trauma sentence starters
"Yeah..." She takes a moment to catch her breath. It's almost odd. Maps can handle a lot of things that come with Gotham. Joker stuff, Scarecrow stuff, none of that gets to her anymore. But a Halloween Haunted House? Still sends shivers down her spine.
Then she smiles.
"I kinda wanna do it again!"
"Let me help you. Please." [ Maps, paraphrased]
PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO LET ANYONE CARE ABOUT THEM
"Hmm..." Maps contemplates this. The help could be useful. Really useful. But Detective Club stuff was already pretty insular. Bringing in someone who wasn't part of the club, and an adult too, could be problematic.
But she could really use the help.
"Scale of 1-10, how willing are you to be sworn to secrecy?"
“Count your breaths with me, okay? Ready? One, two, three, four…” [Maps]
Noticing Trauma sentence starters
"One two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four..."
She underestimated how much getting shot hurts. Hurts like hell. She doesn't know how Batman pushes through it.
She forgets about everything else now. Forgets about the mission. Forgets about chasing the bad guy. Just focusing on breathing.
"One two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four..."
