Hey this is a sequel to the Batman The bloody blade it isn't absolutely necessary to read the previous story but it does make it easy and a better experience. I hope you enjoy this and please give me a review it helps me to understand how I need to improve. Also the justice league characters will be in this soon!
Every night I wake up in a sweaty terror. I see each of my victims in my sleep. Worse than that my mind feels unplugged like the wires in my brain have been pulled out and it makes me remember images of my brainwashing. All I see is Ra's al Ghul's face staring at me… Then I remember my blade slicing him down and the blood dripping down my katana to my hands. I can't sleep and frankly I don't want to but it's pushing me to razors edge and I'm struggling to function. Once I've finished screaming from my nightmare I grab the gun at the side off the bed and I try to pull the trigger but I just can't.
The unnerving part is when Ra's al Ghul meets me and he talks and talks. I know he's not the real Ra's al Ghul just a figure of my imagination but I can't expel him out of head. He's virus that has seeped into my body and constantly plagues me. I wish I could end it all with a bullet to the head but I can't too much of a coward for that. I try and go on patrols, as often as I can to avoid coming home and during the day I own and work in hairdresser. It's not exactly ideal but other than fighting and strategy I don't really have many skills I was designed for one purpose to kill.
Batman has accepted me but I can tell it's just as much about my skill sets as it is about him wanting to keep an eye on my brainwashing. Most of the bat family have accepted me even if its so they can keep a close eye on me. But there are still wounds among some of the Bat family members and I can't blame them. Oracle hates me and Batman does even if he tries to fight it. Oracle is very much open with her anger but Batman hides because he believes it wasn't my fault. I understand how they feel so I hold no ill will against them after all I took people they love away from them.
It was just starting to get late so I decided that I needed to head to the Batcave there may be a case that they need me on. It doesn't take too long to get me there I live reasonably close so it's handy. I think that was another precaution that Batman implemented. As I reach the Batcave I see Nightwing and Alfred chatting. So I go over to them and say, "So are there any cases or?"
They both turn to me in surprise and Alfred interjects by saying, "Unfortunately no it seems Gotham is relatively quiet master Bruce is simply out on patrol." I sigh dare I say it a bit disappointed.
Nightwing says, " Oh don't worry we're going to be doing something even more exciting… TRAINING!" Alfred sighs at this and Nightwing jumps over the metal bars. Alfred says sarcastically " Please don't make too much of a mess otherwise you'll be sorry." Alfred walks off to the stairs up to the house and the training begins with Nightwing by him doing a swift gymnastic leap towards me. I quickly rolled out the way and immediately tried to swipe him off his legs but he quickly jumped above my legs and avoided getting knocked down. I immediately tried swiping punch after punch at him, which he continually blocked, and then he threw a square kick in the chest that knocked me straight back.
I asked him, "So uhh is Oracle better?"
Nightwing said uncertainly, "It's not you're fault but she just …" I bowed my head I understanding and when I looked up I see Ra's al Ghul.
He's standing in front of me and he says, "You are a disgrace that must be purged!" I instantly scream out in rage and pull the katana out of my sheath and immediately charge at him. I swing my blade repeatedly and I can see him stumbling back clearly struggling with my ferocity and strength. I finally force him to the ground and just as I'm about to deliver the final blow when a batarang smacks the katana straight out of my hand I look over to see Robin.
He immediately shouts at me saying, "it's training you're not supposed to kill him!"
I look back and I see Ra's al Ghul has disappeared and there on the floor is Nightwing who's bloody and panting heavily. I offer my hand to him and I'm surprised to see that he accepts it and I pull him. He says to me, "It's getting worse isn't?" I had only told Nightwing about my sleeping issues I needed support not further judgement from Batman.
Nightwing says to Robin, "Don't tell Batman it's under control." Robin shakes his head and walks offer muttering to himself.
I say to Nightwing, "I can't control It need to tell him the brainwashing is still inside of me I can't put people in danger."
Nightwing agrees with me and says, "alright you should be the one to tell him not me. " Suddenly the bat computer comes online and Batman's face appears on the screen.
He roughly cuts across both me and Nightwing and says, " You've each got different missions Nightwing I need you to start looking into Penguin I've just discovered he's moving a huge shipment of drugs." Nightwing nods and turns to walk away I stay knowing that batman would have included me if I was going with Nightwing he would have included my name as well.
Batman continued by saying, " Warrior I need you to find killer crock he's abducted several children this ones yours the police have him surrounded but he's not giving up the kids."
As soon as I hear this I immediately make my make my way and shout, "tell me where to go!"
