Streets were flooded with rain and crime, windows were broken, shops were empty, villains ran all around the city..
''This is Gotham now, for who knows how long? The city's streets have been filled with crime, we are barricaded in this building, all of our personel are trying to shoot some goons, but we're ambushed, WHERE IS BATMAN?''
Bruce turned the TV off, where was Batman? Batman wasn't in Gotham anymore, Batman wasn't on this Earth anymore, Batman was dead, just as Talia, just as Joker
After Arkham City, all villains were placed into a new and reborn Arkham Asylum, it looked promising, with lasers that could harm anyone touching them, and Batman was allowed into all areas, but what was the big idea of having all the crazy's in one building? Without thinking they weren't plotting against security?
It was that time of the year again, they escaped, but Batman wasn't there, Batman was gone
Tim walked by as Bruce walked off the couch, giving him a glare and nodding his head, Bruce blocked off all access to the Batcave, even for himself, no one could come in, no one could come out
Batman was dead…
And then, Bruce awoke…
He was strapped to an operation table, in his Batsuit, he heard faint noises from afar ''He's not sleeping anymore!''
Bruce opened his eyes, only to reveal two dark, empty eyes staring back ''Hello little Bat, remember me?'' In front of Bruce was a horrible looking Scarecrow, pieces of his costume were missing and he was even missing some flesh, he was bandaged all over his body
''What you just experienced, Bat, was your worst fear'' He heard Scarecrow's voice say
''While you were busy, in that city prison, I had all the time to make a huge fear bomb, which is currently spreading over Gotham, soon Gotham City will know fear''
''I...Will…Stop...You'' Batman spoke, his voice angered by the situation he was in
Scarecrow smirked ''you're too late, it's already in effect, look around you Bat!''
Batman looked around and saw people, civilians, locked in cages, mentally losing themselves
''Too late...'' Scarecrow walked away
Batman was almost given an heart attack when he heard statics ''Mas-..Bru-..Are y-… You th..ere?'' Bruce was relieved to hear Alfred's voice ''Alfred, sent the Batwing to my location, immediately! '' Not 2 seconds later, the Batwing crashed in the roof Bruce was forced to look at
Bruce broke the ropes holding him, and quickly went in, as the Batwing flew high in the skies, Batman looked around, the place was a mess, all around Gotham, people were walking around aimlessly, running away from something or someone
''It's been like this after Arkham city'' Batman heard Alfred say through the comm. System''
''Oh, by the way Master Bruce, you might want to park the Batwing somewhere else, Wayne Manor is currently a shelter to those who could make it out of the fear gas''
This was bad, really bad
