A/N Well, you probably know I love transformers, but now I'm dabbling in another love...BATMAN! And not just a batman fic, but a cross over to boot. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it! (Oh, and to make this easier, this is JLA/ JLU animated universe.)
Disclaimer: DC owns Batman, 343 industries owns what is to come. I own my OC. Done for fun. NO PROFIT IS MADE FROM THIS.
Bruce Wayne sat in his study with a news paper. He didn't get to relax much if at all, and a paper was something to savor. As he got to the tabloid section, he bit back a grumble as Alfred came in.
"Tabloid rumors again Sir?" The butler asked cordially
Bruce nodded. "I'm not even sure how they managed to come up with this one." He scowled as he stared at the head line. "Bruce Wayne is a Robotic android put in place by the Sinestro corps...Stewart's going to get a kick out of this." Bruce chucked the paper onto the table with a flick of his wrist.
Alfred glanced out the window and looked back at Bruce. "No need to dwell on it Master Wayne. For it seems your more elusive persona is needed."
Bruce looked and saw the Bat-symbol glowing brightly in the inky-black night. He nodded before going to the clock and moving the hands to access the batcave.
-2 hours before-
Danni and her parents were coming back from a day of shopping. School was right around the corner, and that meant she had to be tortured mercilessly by T-shirts and rows of footwear. Not that she'd tell her parents this.
Danni was tall; well, tall for a twelve-almost-thirteen year old. Her ice blue eyes and auburn hair made her semi noticable in her crowd of school mates. She had some freckles due to it being summer, but they vanished when fall would come around. "Mom, are we still going to the movie?" Danni asked as she starred at the display on the dashboard reading six pm.
Danni's mother was gorgeous. She had pale, almost translucent blue eyes and blonde hair. "We'll try. Pat, can we?" Her Mother asked her father.
Danni's father was robust and strong. Danni had inherited his build, which meant wide shoulders and an athletic appearance. Not to mention a high chance of towering height. He looked down at the time. "If we hurry Sandra. I need to stop by the bank and get more cash. A certain someone needed an Orange Julius." He taunted.
Danni straightened up. "I was thirsty! And they taste good!" She playfully shot back from the seat behind him.
"I'm just messin with you Danni."
At the bank, everything was good when suddenly, the cries of frightened people sounded followed by a man yelling.
"Everybody down! NOW! !" The sound of automatic gunfire echoed in the marble halls of the bank. Seven armed men in brown jackets and ski masks rushed into the bank. Each held an M16 and began pointing them at the petrified tellers and thirty something civilians.
Danni's father and mother pulled her to the floor.
"Just stay calm Danni. It's going to be alright." Her mother said.
For two hours, Danni sat on the floor as the gunmen patrolled the hostages. This wasn't good. She saw the red and blue flashes from the police cars arrive almost and hour and a half ago. The SWAT team could be heard negotiating with the robbers, but the robbers had turned down every offer.
The leader was getting furious. "Any cop says another word-" He turned around. Danni's eyes met his, a cruel grin flashed underneath the wool mask as he walked over and hauled her to her feet. Danni's Father lunged forward but was rewarded with the butt of the rifle being smashed into his temple. The gunman chuckled at the horrified expression the hostage was wearing, and dragged her at gunpoint for the GCPD to see. "And this kid gets it!" The man slammed the door and threw Danni sprawling to the hard marble.
The leader of the robbers laughed. "That outta shut them up. Now, what to do with-AHG!"
The thug staggered backwards, gripping his shoulder. Something was lodged into the flesh. As he pulled it out, his blood chilled. "Oh shit." He whispered. His eyes showed panick as a voice came from above.
"Let the hostages go if you know what's good for you."
Danni looked up to see a shadow balanced on what appeared to be a taunt cable. "Batman." Danni whispered.
The thugs raised there automatic rifles and trained them at the Dark Knight.
"FIRE! KILL THE GOD DAMN BAT! !" The leader yelled.
A hailstorm of bullets launched at Batman. He lept off the cable over the ark of the bullets and aimed for one reloading a clip. The thug yelped in terror as Batman landed on his chest and delivered a punch to the jaw. 'One down, six more.' The caped crusader thought as his hands let loose a volley of Batarangs that managed to disarm the others. The robbers charged him. Batman ducked the first blow from the leader and delivered a kick to his face. The second henchman lunged, and was promptly grabbed and thrown into the third and fourth. The fith and sixth tried to jump the dark knight from opposite directions. He simply ducked, letting them smash into each other.
The leader of the group recovered from the kick. Though still on the floor, he was in reach of a rifle. Quickly he jumped to his feet and aimed it at the back of Batman.
Batman heard a click of a rifle. He wheeled around fast and saw the leader of the robbery was aiming right at him. A Batarang would be too risky as the gun was close to civilians at that angle. Instead, Batman threw a smoke bomb at the assailant's feet and lunged; cape filling out into the iconic shape.
The struggle was harsh. The thugs' upperbody strength was surprising. In a desperate attempt, the leader aimed the gun at where he thought Batman was, and fired.
The bullets that found their mark that night hit three targets; A teller was shot in the arm and would be alright. But as the smoke cleared, Batman saw the other two, causing his eyes to go wide and his mouth to hang open in horrified shock.
Danni staggered towards her parents lying in a pool of blood. "Mommy? Daddy? No...no...NO! ! !" Danni fell to her knees, tears running down her face. She punched the marble floor, bloodying the knuckles on her right hand.
The leader laughed as the Gotham police entered the building and took him away. He spat blood at Batman from his mouth. "You lose Batman."
Batman watched from a rooftop as the girl's parents were taken away to the morgue, and the girl herself was escorted by commissioner Gordon to a waiting ambulance. The sight deeply saddened him. As he turned away from the scene, he reasoned that the girl could use a visit from Bruce Wayne in the morning. Maybe he could set a few things right.
A/N Well, that's how it starts. I apologize for crummy writing, but this proved to be more difficult than I first anticipated. Hopefully, the second chapter will go more smoothly. Tell me what you think! :D
P.S, as for my loyal Transformer fans, updates will be soon I promise!
