“Step on it,” Raven
commands Strauss, “Get us the hell out of here.”
“As you wish,”
Strauss replies, throwing the car into gear. They hear the sound of
wheels spinning on tarmac before all three are pushed into their
seats by the force of their acceleration.
“Blimey,” Robert
says once he's recovered his composure, “For an old car this thing
can really move.”
“It is not actually
an old vehicle,” Strauss tells him.
“It certainly looks
like one,” Robert replies, “What is it then?”
“It was imagined,”
Strauss says, “To be the main vehicle for some never completed
reboot of some caped crusader.”
“You mean like a new
batmobile?” Robert asks, a little awed.
“Something along
those lines, yes.”
