Chapter One:
In Brightest Day
Gotham.
A dark city full of evil and corruption. Criminals ruled the streets of it for years, until one man took in upon himself to protect the city.
This man was... the Batman.
He struck fear into the hearts and minds of criminals each and every night. All for a City that truly was undeserving.
But this story is not about him and his endless crusade to protect Gotham. This story is about someone else.
Arc:1
- The Green Ring -
In the more poorer part of the city sat a young man, in his apartment, typing away at a computer.
It seemed completely ordinary but it really isn't.
"Yes, I'm in finally. They really upped their security since last time I broke in. And the time before that.
This man just hacked into an FBI secure server to obtain information for another one of his "jobs". If you haven't guessed he's a hacker and he's a damn good one too.
The man leaned back into his chair as he saw the data being downloaded into the usb drive. Seeing the success the man went toward his fridge and pulled out a drink before pouring himself... well you guessed it.
A good ole cup of milk.
The man took a large gulp of it.
"Ah, that hits the spot."
He made his at back to the computer and saw the data had been downloaded. Realizing he needed to get out quick before the FBI figured he was in their server he began making his way out and covering his tracks.
Finally, he made his way out before they could close on his signal.
"You did good Jacob," he said to himself in strong enthusiasm. He pulled the USB drive from the computer and took out his cell-phone.
He had a lot of calls to make. Who knows how much people would pay to have this type of sensitive data in their hands.
As he dialed a few numbers the power went out around the apartment floor.
Unlike, most who would be suspicious or worried Jacob remained calm. He after all knew who it was.
The Batman.
Jacob had ran into he Dark Knight of Gotham a few times and he knew fighting him was not an option. The man was physically superior to him but in every way.
Running away wouldn't help as he would eventually find him. So he calmly went to his computer and grabbed the USB drive. He needed to hide it until he could get it again and sell the data.
Yet before he could even think about hiding it, a batarang slammed rigt nto drive rendering it useless.
Jacob sighed, "Well there goes one-hundred thousand dollars. Damn you Batman."
"Let's go!" A dark voice yelled behind him. Jacob turned to him and there he stared the Dark Knight in the face.
Most would be scared or intimidated by the man, but Jacob kinda wasn't. When they first met the hacker was scared out of his mind but now he finds the Dark Knight as a mere annoyance.
"Fine, fine. Let me pack my stuff."
Batman grabbed Jacob by the hood and dragged him toward his batmobile.
"So how's Barbara," Jacob asked with no hesitation or worry.
If you listened closely you could hear Batman sigh. He hated when Jacob said their names aloud. Anyone could be listening.
"She's fine," he said quickly and monotonely.
"Good to know."
There was some akward silence after that. Then Jacob said, "I'm really surprised you tracked me. I put some of my best technology to prevent being tracked. You must have some extremely sophisticated tech. You could share."
Batman remained silent completely ignoring Jacob.
"Rude."
So, I bet you're wondering how Jacob knows Barbara, well he actually hacked into the Batman's server. Albeit once and he didn't get far due to it's security but he did read up on Barabara.
He was prepared to sell the data immediately, until he heard about her disability. He all of a sudden immediately dropped it and when Batman came to beat him to a pulp for breaking into a secure server. They somehow worked out an agreement.
It involves him not telling anyone or he'll end up at Arkham Asylum. Jacob gladly accepted.
Anyways, the hacker and Batman stopped at the Batmobile. (A/N: Batman Arkham Night Batmobile)
The back opened and Jacob was forced inside.
"Geez, be careful. I know I'm the criminal here but you could at least show some kind of care in this relationship. I starting think this is one-sided. Maybe we should break-up Batman. You know go our separate wa-"
The back closed immediately and Jacob's talk about relationships had ended.
Batman jumped into the front seat Hopi g for a quiet relaxing drive to GCPD. Then somehow the kid hacked into his surround sound system.
"Is this on," he yelled, "It is. Okay then. So anyways Batman. I'm starting think this is one-sided. You repeatedly bruising me and sending me to prison is not healthy for our relationship. And for godsake what happened to our sex life. It was gre-"
Batman immediately turned the damned thing off while thinking of many brutal ways to hurt the hacker.
They finally arrived at GCPD. Just in a nick of time to. The kid was messing with the systems.
Batman forcefully pulled Jacob out of the Batmobile.
"See what I'm talking about. Do you know how forceful that pull was."
"Take him." Batman said before pushing him toward the officer and the Dark Knight walked toward the Batmobile.
"Hey, nice talk Batman see you next time." Jacob said before allowing the officers to take him.
Jacob entered the GCPD Hq and are met with numerous officers who began to secure me. The hacker prepared to be extracted to Blackgate. He goes through a screening room. Standing looking straight toward the Camera and the one-way window.
Looking closely he can make out them reading my files. "Jacob Smith, numerous accounts of hacking illegal networks, escaped convict, 1 account of murder." Tha hacker immediately corrected him, "Accidental Murder."
"Accidental Murder, and assaulting an officer."
They finish and the kid is taking to a bus heading to Blackgate.
The ride was quiet and peaceful. Not much scenery.
Jacob sat quietly already planning his escape but then something unexpected happened. The ground shook violently and the bus veered off the road and slammed into a tree. Most of the other inmates were knocked out but he was somewhat okay.
The kid moved toward one of the knocked out guards and grabbed his keys and uncuffed myself. Also he grabbed his gun just in case.
He doesn't murder but will do what is necessary to save his own skin. He left the bus and saw small plumes of smoke coming across the road.
Slowly he moved across road making sure no one was nearby. He neared neared the crash site and there he saw laying in the pod of a ship was a pure alieb. Jacob freaked out and that was rare especially since he knew that aliens exist but then again this is the first-time he's seen an alien. He peered at the crash site again and noticed the aliens was wearing the same suit as Green Lantern. He also tool notice that he was bleeding badly. Despite every sense of self-preservation telling him to leave he went toward him.
He raced down toward the alien.
The guy looks at Jacob and questioned, "Who are you?"
"Um.. Jacob Smith," he said, "We need to get you to a doctor, you're bleeding badly."
He then said, "No it's too late for me."
"Well I'm sorry but I don't know why but I can't let you die."
(Will Detected)
The alien then says, "Hmm, you could make a good successor. You'll need proper training but you have the will to do it."
Jacob confusedly asked, "What are you talking about." The sound of helicopters are heard in the distance.
The alien smiles and pulls off his ring, "Take this, please."
"What is it." The sound of the helicopters become louder. "Just take it you'll find out soon enough." Not refusing the dying alien's request, I take the ring and place it in my pocket.
The Helicopters near and I know I need to leave. Yet I had to ask.
"What is your name?"
"Abin Sur."
I run off into the distance back toward Gotham.
A/N: I'm rewriting this story because I found it and I laughed frowned at the poor writing of it. If you want to check out the old one then be my guest and have at it. I don't suggest but try it if you want. This story will take a huge different direction than my previous story. You may not notice until the end of my second chapter.
ANYWAYS, Constructive criticism is accepted and no flames.
Peace!
