Futureknight verse: Wayne Manor: Different Bat-Time, Different Bat-Channel

Daylight filtered through the window, rousing Helena from her sleep.  With a grumble, she pulled the covers up higher and attempted to bury her head in her pillow.  She wouldn't exactly say she'd had a good night's rest--too many memories associated with the Manor--but she had slept about as well as anyone who sometimes kept odd hours could.

When it became clear that she was not going to be able to get back to sleep, she reluctantly came out from under the covers and gasped.

This was not the same room she'd gone to sleep in.

The butler nodded and keyed this information into the computer, then nodded toward what looked like a rounded shower stall. "If you would step inside and remove anything that has no bearing on your uniform."

She turned back to the screen, then remembered the last time Rachel had come for a new uniform. "After you have closed the door, of course."

Helena stifled a chuckle and headed inside, first closing the door before removing the majority of her clothes.

Jets sprayed a foam-like substance onto Helena, followed by the hardening compound. Then high heeled soles were carefully fitted to the bottoms of her newly booted feet.

There was a beep, and she stood in a costume that was complete but for mask and cape.

"Holy cow..."

It was hard to call it one of the most amazing things she'd ever seen, but it was certainly an impressive bit of technical doings.

"We shall need to purchase the support devices for the bodice during our shopping expedition," noted Prudence, opening the door and regarding the new suit with a critical air. Then she decided that she couldn't see any flaws and gave a little nod of approval before walking back to the console.

"You did good," Helena said. "I'm impressed."

"It is a completely automated procedure," said Prudence as she shut everything down.

"Still... thanks."

[random_xtras]

"You are quite welcome, Miss Helena." She turned back to her and smiled, then cocked her head as though listening to something.
