I have not read the comics. Period. This is strictly movie based, and if you don't appreciate what I do with Ducard's charecter, then don't read it. I have no idea how his personality works, so I'm making a guess off the movie's not-so-good charecter development. I should say, though, that I went to see hte movie last night, and the reason I'm writing this now was that I was horrified to see my favorite actor, who does so well in a fatherly, good guy role, placed in the seat as a bad guy with a twisted sense of honor. That said, this is only to redeme my favorite actor, and, despite how evil he was, my favorite charrecter...

BIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG breath

Ahem.

Flamersmay open fire, if they choose. Every one is entitled to their oppinion. For those who have an open mind for new writers, I hope you enjoy this.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the charrecters from Batman, or it's plot. I am not benefiting from this financialy or in any other way. The plot to this story, and most of it's charrecters, Ducard aside, are just little drabbles I've kept locked up in my mind...


"I won't kill you…"

He looked into the eyes of his pupil, satisfaction tickling at his pride amidst the panic of approaching doom.

"But I don't have to save you."

Shit.

Foom.

Vanish away into darkness.

Flames licking at his skin, devouring the living flesh in a blaze of horrific glory.

Smoke clogging his lungs, engulfing him in a sea of suffocation.

Heat… Boiling over him… Pushing him, with vengeance, to the point furthest from reality.

And away into darkness.

Panic.

o.o.o

Flames like those should have killed a man. A crash like that should have destroyed any one human. An explosion such as the one he endured should have whisked a mortal man away into darkness… But for Henri Ducard, fate was making an acception.

o.o.o

"Mr. Ducard. Come now, time to face reality once again."

The darkness receding, like a veil, leaving him prone to violent light.

"Wake, child. Depart from that which you fear."

No… He fought against the current of energy that seemed to pull him. No…

"Come back to me, Ducard… It is time to forget."

His eyes opened.

"Good morning."
