Prologue
Summer August 29th, 2017...
It was a hot summer day, a pair of teenagers sat on lush green grass with ice-cold sodas. "Well, shit it felt so quick and the end of summer is here just like that," Justin whined. "Yeah..." Thomas replied as he sipped his soda. The two boys who had been best friends for years sat silently with a sad air around them.
"Listen... After you move and all, we should still hang out, okay?"
"It's a promise, but... I'm not moving, I'm running, running as far away as possible, I only came here to say goodbye," Thomas explained as he quickly dashed away holding back his tears.
Justin was going to get up but he thought about it, stopping Thomas, wouldn't truly stop him. He'd just run again, so he just watched sadly as his friend ran off. "Come back soon you idiot," Justin muttered to himself as he got up and walked back towards his house.
Thomas had gone missing for days, but soon days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and months into years...
4 Years Later...
A yawn echoed through the air as Thomas awoke and rose from his bed stretching. He glared at the dull analog clock hanging from the wall, 3 A.M.
"I gotta leave or else Ra's is gonna have my head above his fireplace," Thomas whispered to himself as he packed away his belongings he found a picture of him and Justin along with his family when he was 15.
"It's been four years... Four brutal years of training with The League of Assassins," Thomas thought to himself as he put away the picture now determined to leave the temple.
Thomas stepped out of his room and crept down the long stone corridors of the temple with silent footsteps. Thomas soon arrived at the dimly lit front entrance and left. He'd been planning this for months on end and he had bribed a fisherman to come get him at the pier today.
Thomas soon arrived on the boat and greeted the fisherman. They soon set sail back to Washington.
Elsewhere Justin was walking out of the college campus towards his apartment. He sighed as he glanced at the archery case, although light, still a pain to lug around.
He quickly crossed a street and stopped by an alley as he saw a man in the middle of touching an unconscious Jasmine in an alleyway. Jasmine, his longtime friend since high school, and as much as he liked to deny it his crush.
"Get away from her!" Justin yelled dropping the plastic case as he ran towards the man reeling back his right arm before he swung his fist into the man's jaw, sending blood and spit flying into the air.
The man collapsed into a puddle with a splash as Justin took off his backpack and dropped into a fairly basic stance with his arms up.
The man groaned as he coughed out blood onto the cold pavement while he was struggling to get up.
The man finally regained his composure as he eyed Justin with rage. The man started rubbing his jaw as he reached into his jacket pocket.
"You picked the wrong fight brat," The man threatened as he pulled out a knife from his jacket.
The man rushed towards him holding the knife low. He quickly sidestepped a narrow stab at his neck before using his momentum to send a hard elbow into the man's face. He promptly followed up the attack by slamming the now very disoriented and groaning man's head into the brick wall of the alley.
He let go of the bruised and battered man onto the cold pavement as he checked his pulse. "Still alive... Phew."
Justin hastily went to pick up the archery kit as he picked up the unconscious Jasmine and slung her over his shoulder. He then grabbed his stuff and began running towards his apartment.
Justin gently draped a blanket over her after he placed her on the couch. He observed her face and spotted a few bruises before he walked into the kitchen and opened up the pantry with a creak.
Justin pulled out a set of bandages, as he quickly grabbed an ice pack from the freezer before walking to the side of Jasmine and kneeling.
He removed her ruby red glasses and placed them on the coffee table and started tending to her head injury by putting an ice pack on it and wrapping the bandage around it to keep the ice pack in place. Afterward, he cleaned up the materials and put them away. He then flicked off the lights as he grabbed his archery kit and backpack walked down the hallway tossing them into his room.
Justin sighed as he walked into the bathroom, "Well today's gone just great, missed my last archery test and find my best friend unconscious and in danger." He muttered into the air with sarcasm evident in his tone. He turned on the shower as he quickly undressed and hopped in.
After a long, long shower he walked down the hallway and paused at his piano room. He sadly glanced at the now dust filled instrument. "There's just not enough time ever for you," Justin said as he walked down the hallway into the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
He turned on the sink and filled the glass before turning off the lights and walking back down the hallway and into his bedroom.
He put down the glass on his nightstand as he glanced at a picture of him and Thomas in the park dimly lit by the moonlight. "Four years ya jerk, I turned 19 not to long ago ya know? But the hell does that matter to you? You might even be dead and I wouldn't know," Justin thought to himself as he plopped down on his bed and closed his eyes.
Thomas felt the boat rock as waves crashed into it, he sighed it wouldn't be much longer.
The boat eventually docked around 12 pm when he arrived. Thomas stepped on the dock as he stared at the city in the distance in awe. He quickly called a taxi as it took him to downtown Seattle.
He sniffed the scent of gas coming from cars and food stands. He looked up to see Seattle as a wave of nostalgia hit him. "I forgot what living in the city was like."
Thomas was riding in a cab down a bright street as he saw kids playing outside. He smiled looking up at the trees as he passed houses. The cab stopped at a dark brown house as Thomas got out. "I got this thank you though," Thomas said to the cab driver as he tipped him.
He pulled his luggage up the worn creaking stairs and he stood at the door hesitantly. He knocked on the door twice as an Asian woman came out. "Could I help you?" she asked.
"Um yeah, I'm looking for my Mom. She about your height, same hair, the smell of pie..." Thomas trailed off as he looked intently at her as she stared back at him for a couple of seconds.
"Um... Hi Mom," Thomas greeted as his mother started rubbing his cheek.
"Is it really you?" she asked with tears threatening to fall. "Yeah," Thomas answered pursing his lips. The woman suddenly grabbed Thomas and cried into his shoulder.
"We really thought we lost you. After what happened to Brian we thought-" she said as Thomas cut her off, "I'm ok now," he said walking inside the house.
"I'm such a mess," Thomas's Mom said wiping her eyes with tissues. "Four years you've been gone, Four years!" She complained as Thomas walked inside putting down his suitcase.
"Where have you been?! You should have called! Do you know how worried we were?!" She continued yelling at him while pointing at him. "Honey, why are you yelling?" A male voice from upstairs called as he was moving downstairs.
A buff man came down the stairs and stopped and narrowed his eyes at Thomas. "Hi Dad," Thomas greeted with a grin. "You're..." The man said grabbing Thomas and hugging the teen.
"What's Mom yelling about Dad?" Another voice came from the stairs as a boy came down the stairs. "Sup little bro." Thomas waved as the boy stood in shock as Thomas grinned.
"You've grown since the last time I saw you, Andrew." Thomas pointed out. "Damian grab the luggage, Thomas unpack your things, We're going to have dinner as a family tonight!" she said in hysteria walking into the kitchen
After dinner, Thomas opened the door to his room. "Wow this place has changed," he said looking around to see boxes. "Hey what happened?" Thomas asked Andrew. "Well after you were gone for a while we decided to take the stuff from the attic and put it in your room because it has more space," Andrew said looking around in the room.
"Take a look around to see if you wanna keep something that belongs to you," he said walking downstairs. Thomas then turned on a flashlight and looked at different boxes.
He found old teenage mutant ninja turtle comics, his transformers toys, and some DVDs of old movies he used to watch. He saw his box of rock collections and stated at it.
"My rock collection wonder if they're all still together?" He moved a couple of boxes when a briefcase fell out of one hitting him in the head with a clunk. "Ow what the?" he said wincing as he looked at it. He picked it up to see the initials B.W. "B.W.?" he questioned wiping the dust off.
Thomas walked downstairs as his parents were talking about a vacation as it was spring break. "We should go to Europe honey," his mother suggested.
"What about Canada? The boys will love the wilderness," Damian added.
"What about the art there? It so bea-" his mom said as she stopped talking and looked at Thomas. Damian also looked over to see Thomas holding the briefcase. "What is this?" Thomas asked examining it. "Oh honey it's just a briefcase of your grandfather," his mother explained.
"What's in it?" Thomas asked. "Oh some bank documents and the company's documents," Damian said.
"What company?" Thomas asked. "The one the only Wayne Enterprises," Damian said. "You mean my grandfather was Bruce Wayne? The once great owner of Wayne Enterprises?!" Thomas said excitedly.
"Why don't we have a mansion to live in or butlers serving us food or cool sports cars?!" Thomas asked jumping up and down like a child. "Well the company is owned by your uncle now," His mother explained.
"Aw man no butlers," Thomas said looking back at the briefcase.
Thomas dumped the briefcase contents on the floor. He looked at the files and put them aside. He then looked back at the suitcase to see a slit in the briefcase.
He looked at it and slid his fingers in there, It opened more as Thomas pulled out a photo and a letter out. He flipped the photo to see a mansion that was 6 stories high. Thomas then looked at the letter said: "To Thomas." He opened it as he began reading.
"To my grandson Thomas
If you're reading this I'm long gone. You probably don't know who I am but I know who you are. I remember you as an infant coming out of your mother's stomach. You were big for your size. I want you to know that whatever life throws at you, you stand back up and smile back at it. Also give people of the benefit of the doubt even when they don't believe you. I did not want to give you and your parents the company because I wanted you guys to be happy. I wanted you to live a normal life and not a life of writing signatures or company deals. You were named after my father Thomas. Now he was a good man and he helped people. He wanted to make the world a better place to live in. I want you to be better than what you are. Be something people can look up to. Be their knight who watches over them.
Sincerely Love, Your grandfather Bruce Wayne..."
P.S. I didn't give you the mansion because they're too many secrets hidden inside if you want to check the place out, look behind the photo.
Thomas woke up at 3 in the morning and creeped down the stairs. Thomas wrote a letter that said "I forgot some things in Gotham I'll be back by tomorrow night." He drove to the mansion as he looked at the back of the photo. It said, "1007 Mountain Drive, Gotham"
He drove up to the mansion's driveway as he saw the mansion. Thomas got out the car as he walked towards the entrance. Debris was laying around and vines were hanging out as he approached the mansion. "It was so much bigger than in the picture, and less viney and destroyed," Thomas muttered to himself.
He opened the door as some sawdust fell from the creaking hinges. Thomas looked around the manor to see that the floor was torn up and plants were growing everywhere. He then saw a piano sitting in the middle of the manor through the dim moonlight shining from a hole in the roof.
"Huh. A grand piano, I wonder if it still works," Thomas said before taking a seat and saw some sheet music. He then played the song as he heard creaking from beneath him. "What the?" Thomas said before the stool flipped backward suddenly into an opening before the opening closed.
Justin yawned as got up from his bed, stretching. He quickly folded the blankets and straightened his bed before going through his usual morning routine of showering, brushing his teeth, and changing. As he finished changing he walked into the living room to see that Jasmine was still sleeping. He smiled before making 2 plates of scrambled eggs and bacon. Jasmine slowly stirred before awakening to the smell of the food.
"Ugh... My head, what happened?" She asked grabbing her head wincing as Justin chuckled, "Geez, you sound like you just woke up with the worst hangover," Justin teased before finishing his breakfast.
"Haha, Very funny, wait, Justin?! What am I doing at your place, and did you do anything to me?!" Jasmine asked checking to see if her clothes were still on as she got up and grabbed her plate before taking a few bites.
"What?! No of course not! I wouldn't do that to you in your sleep! Anyways... From what I saw a guy knocked you out and well... Let's just say I scared him off," Justin retold the story with a blush as he took a seat right next to her.
"I didn't get knocked out, I just passed out all of a sudden when I was walking home, I... just felt tired all of a sudden," She explained as she finished eating and put her plate in the sink.
"That's weird, well I'll walk you home then after I wash the dishes," Justin said getting up and turning on the faucet as he began to wash the dishes.
"Hey, Justin? Not to pry but... What happened between you and your mom a couple weeks ago?" Jasmine asked looking around to see the lack of family pictures now. "Huh? Oh nothing much really, we had an argument over my hair, she wanted me to cut it, and I said no, so eventually I just decided I'd just move out," Justin explained as he dried his hands and tied back his hair into a high ponytail, to resemble that of a samurai.
He quickly walked out of the kitchen as he grabbed his hoodie. They then left in silence as Justin's apartment became a fleeting sight in the background slowly fading away. The sounds of birds singing, was serene as they left the apartment complex.
They walk for what seemed like half an hour before they arrived at Jasmine's house. "Well here's your stop, I'll see ya later," Justin said with a wave before turning around and whistling as he headed in a different direction. "See ya!" She said waving before heading inside.
Thomas woke up on a concrete floor as he rubbed his head. "Ow, what the hell?" Thomas whined as he looked around for a light switch. A spotlight came on as Thomas saw he was in a cave. He walked down the stairs and saw some glass displays. He saw tight red and green spandex suits.
"What was he into to, little boys in tight spandex suits?" Thomas joked with a shiver as he walked down and saw a black eye mask and a green eye mask.
He continued down the stairs to see a massive computer. Thomas then sat down at the large swivel chair. "Hmmm comfy," Thomas said as he spun around in the chair. He looked at the computer and saw a flash drive called Jarvis, Thomas then picked it up and put it in the computer.
"Good evening sir," a British voice greeted from the computer. "OH SHIT!" Thomas jumped as he fell out of the chair. Thomas breathed heavily as he got up and sat at on the chair.
"Master Wayne I se- Wait you're not master Wayne. Who are you? Scanning now," the voice said as a red laser scanned his eye.
"Hello Mr. Wayne," the voice said. "Wait, what?" Thomas said looking at the computer.
"My name is Jarvis and you are Thomas Wayne II Son of Damian and Tiffany. Your grandfather informed me you would be here one day." Jarvis explained as he opened up files of Batman.
"Your grandfather did some great things and he saved people," Jarvis continued opening an article of Batman vs Superman.
"What?" Thomas said looking at the article. "Oh, my bad those were dark times," Jarvis said scrolling up to another article that showed impostors in hockey pads.
"Um is this suppose to be him?"
"Let me show you," Jarvis said as something was rising up the ground. An armor that had a bat symbol. "Is that..?" Thomas asked with awe. "Yes," Jarvis said as Thomas puts his hands in his pockets. "I'm going to kick some ass with this," Thomas said with a smirk.
Justin stood on a rooftop with his bow and black cloth quiver strapped to his back. He breathed in a fresh breath of air as he pulled over his navy blue hood, and put on his purple oni mask.
"This place's crime rate is high as hell," He said as he spotted a group of armed robbers preparing to rob a bank. "Huh, banks robbers... Neat," Justin muttered as he hopped off the building, and landed on one of the men with a loud thud.
"Hey you armed bozos! Why don't you put that back and I'll let you off the hook," Justin said hopping off of the unconscious man as he quickly drew back his bow and shot an arrow through another man's hand. The man screamed in pain as he dropped his gun while holding his impaled hand in pain.
"You're fucking dead you little piece of crap!" The thug yelled wincing as he pulled out the arrow with a scream and held his bloody hand in his armpit. The man weakly ran towards Justin with a pained expression as he swung his right arm at Justin's face.
"I'm sorry, did you ask for another one?" Justin mocked while sidestepping the punch and sent his left elbow into the man's face, making him stumble a few feet as the world began to blur.
"Man your aim is worse than your grandma's," Justin mocked the thug again as he sent the man onto the cold pavement with a swing of his bow. "Ding ding ding, and he's out!!" Justin yelled with a chuckle as he turned to face the others. "You want some to?" Justin asked as the others simply replied by running away. "Aww... Come on the fun part was just starting."
"Come on man we gotta get to the car!"
"Come on! In the alley!!!" One of the three men yelled as they ran into the alley. The lights in the alley suddenly shut off as the men armed themselves with guns in a panic. A hand came out of the darkness grabbing one of the men as he let out a muffled scream before a dull thud was heard.
"Waste him!!!" One of the men yelled as the two men shot at the black figure. The figure seemed to have disappeared as the 2 men fired endlessly. "I-Is he dead?"
No answer came as he looked around trying to spot anything. He slowly hesitated to pull out his phone. The next thing the man knew was pure terror as he was met with one of his men tied upside down with blood trickling from his mouth. The man let out a terror-filled scream as he ran towards the exit of the alley.
The man made it to the car as he looked around in pure panic. He shakily and quickly tried to start the car as he felt that whatever was in that alley was coming for him. As soon as the car's interior lit, he slammed his foot into the gas pedal.
The man sighed in relief as he sped out of the dark alley, only to be met with panic again as the car came to a halting stop with the sound of his tires popping. The man screamed once again as a hand grabbed him and pulled him out of the car.
Justin had fired arrows into the tires as he saw the car taking off, but he was surprised to see the other men tied up and unconscious.
"Going somewhere?" Justin asked as he knocked him out and tied him to a lamp post. "What the hell was that back there though?" Justin murmured as he grappled onto a roof and started jumping roof to roof towards his apartment.
The black figure got back into the bat cave as he took off a mask. "Master Wayne, what happened out there?" Jarvis asked curiously. "Another vigilante is out there doing the same thing I am," Thomas explained sipping coffee. "Jarvis search up any stories of a hooded archer wearing a purple demon mask," Thomas ordered putting down the cup.
"Sir they call him The Arrow, he's been on his crusade for two years now," Jarvis explained pulling up a blurry picture of him. Thomas looked at the hood he was wearing as it was blue. "Jarvis analyze this arrow," Thomas said pulling an arrow from the armored car as he took off the suit. Thomas then took a towel and wiped off his face.
Thomas drove home and brought the flash drive and a couple of news articles home. Thomas entered the house as his parents ran up to him. "We thought we lost you again!" his Mom yelled with worry. "Where were you?" Damian asked.
"Did you not read the letter on the fridge?" Thomas asked pulling the letter off the fridge. "Oh," Both of them sounded looking at the letter.
"So what did you find at the Wayne Mansion?" his Mom asked. "Oh, just a flash drive of old pictures and old newspapers of Wayne Enterprises," Thomas said. "Oh ok," his parents sounded as his dad eyed him. "What?" Thomas asked confused. "Did you find anything batty about him?" Damian asked winking.
Thomas stared at him for a couple of seconds feigning confusion. "Just kidding!" Damian admitted while laughing. Thomas joined in as he put the flash drive in a drawer. "Oh wait, honey, we managed to get you into college before Spring break begins, you better prepare your things for tomorrow."
Justin climbed through the window of his apartment and threw off his hoodie and mask. "Damn that was fun," Justin said plopping down on his bed and falling asleep...
Thomas woke up at 9 am and got out of bed to go shower. He then drove to Washington State University as he drove into the parking lot. He quickly got out and spotted Justin walking in the building with a girl. Thomas's memory flashed to the last time he saw Justin. Thomas then slumped down and started walking towards the building avoiding Justin.
"Is that..?" Justin trailed off trying to catch up to Thomas only to see him disappear into the crowd. Justin just sighed before heading into 5th period, visual tech. Thomas entered the room as he saw Justin walking towards him. "Shit gotta hide my face," Thomas whispered trying to blend in.
It was too late as Justin and Thomas were staring at each other. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds as Justin narrowed his eyes and decided to take a seat next to Thomas. "So... Where have you been friend?" Justin asked in an overly sweet tone.
"Uh... Around?" Thomas said as he found himself on the ground rubbing his cheek from a powerful right hook. "Quit lying... Tell me where you've really been." Justin said glaring at his friend.
"Yeah nice to see you too, I've been stuck on an island for the last 4 years," Thomas said touching his face where he was punched. The professor soon walked in and began to lecture on technology.
Thomas then headed out to the parking lot as the day was done and he was about to go home. "Thomas! Hey! Wait!!!." Justin yelled as Thomas stopped and glanced at him. "So what have you been doing for the last four years?" Thomas asked swinging his keys. "Oh you know living, some archery, piano, gaming and more living," Justin explained.
"What'd you do on an island for 4 years," Justin asked. "Training, living a life without civilization, learning to hunt," Thomas said glancing at Justin's wooden case.
"So uh that's where your bow and arrow are?" Thomas asked pointing at the case. "Yep," Justin answered plainly. "So you wanna go eat somewhere I'm going to go eat out at Subway?" Thomas offered while unlocking his car.
"Yeah su-" Justin said before his phone started ringing. He pulled it out and answered it. "Hello?" He answered. "Oh yeah sorry about ditching you, I found an old friend and decided to do some catching up with him is all." Justin apologized as he scratched his head. "Yeah, we'll hang later, see ya," Justin said hanging up.
Thomas drove to the park as he stopped and parked the car. "Remember this place?" Thomas asked getting out of the car bringing his sandwich. "Yeah brings back memories, one in particular though, the day you left," Justin answered taking a bite out of his sandwich.
"Yeah sorry about that." Thomas apologized taking a bite out of his sandwich. "Yeah... Say you still remember your league account?" Justin asked. "I've haven't played that game in a long time so probably not," Thomas said. "Alright then, I gotta go if you want to call me on discord, I got a league match to play later," Justin said waving as he ran off to his apartment. "Alright, I'll see," Thomas said looking at his watch.
Thomas was typing on the computer as he was looking for more articles of The Arrow. "Jarvis are you done analyzing the Arrow?" Thomas said. "Yes sir but the only thing I could find on there was the blood of the criminal that had this arrow shot into his leg," Jarvis explained. "Hmmmmm..." Thomas thought as he picked up the arrow and looked at the tip.
"Aluminum arrows fast to make," Thomas said ripping off the tip. He looked at the wooden body as there was blood on it. The police scanner went off, "In pursuit down Downtown Seattle! I need backup!" it yelled as Thomas pressed a button as his bat suit rose out of the ground.
Gunshots were going off as the criminals sped down the road. "Come on we gotta get this back to the boss," One minion said shooting his gun. A truck was in front of them as cops started catching up.
"Cut off 26th street." A cop ordered as a helicopter's flashed its lights to the truck.
"The Arrow can't get us, man! Our tires are bulletproof now." A man said laughing as he shot out of a window at the police cruisers.
The chase came to a halt as an explosion went off sending the car flipping. "Bulletproof tires? Man, I guess you weren't ready for the fireworks," Justin said as the smoke cleared.
"Crap, there go those guys," Another thug said as they trailed behind the truck. He glanced behind him at his other associates. "The hell are you guys doing?! Shoot em' already!" He yelled as he slammed into another police cruiser sending it swerving into a tree.
"They're on 23rd Street men get ready to block them off-" A cop was killed in an instant as a rocket hit his car. The cop's cruiser started to swerve as it hit other officers causing most of the police force to stop there.
One cop got out of his car as a black vehicle zoomed by. "What the hell? Is that a tank?" he asked bewildered.
"Hah! We got this in the bag boys," the man driving the truck announced through the radio to the men in the car.
The men in the car stopped shooting as they sighed in relief. "Hey Jim, what the hell is that?!" One of the men in the back seat yelled as the black vehicle was tailing gating them. The car was suddenly sent swerving to the side, with its wheels completely shot out.
The black tank accelerated forward eventually catching up to the truck.
"Fuck get it off of us!" The truck driver yelled. "Calm down, I'll handle him," one guy said as he took out a rocket launcher and shot it at the car. "Hah! He can't survive that!"
The man smirked in victory but that smirk soon turned into sheer horror.
The car had survived the explosion without a scratch. A hook fired at the back of eighteen-wheeler attacking itself to the trailer as the tank sped forward in front of the truck.
"What the hell is it doing?!" The driver yelled as he shot at the car only for the bullets to bounce off as if they never hit in the first place.
Time seemed to slow as the truck was sent airborne from its back wheel being pulled at such high speeds.
The tank had detached the hooks from itself as it slowed down while the truck flipped itself upside down.
A black figure got out as he walked towards the truck. The truck driver was getting out as he pulled out a gun at the figure. The figure walked past a street light as it stared down the man.
The figure was dimly lit up by the street lamp, what stood there left the criminal in shock. "You're supposed to be a myth! Batman is supposed to be dead!"
Batman grabbed and tossed the gun away as he picked up the man by the collar. "Who are you working for?" He asked in a modulated gruff voice. "Like I'd tell you, you're probably some punk that just wants to try to scare away the mob," the man remarked with a smirk.
Batman frowned as he pulled out his grappling hook. He held the man by left arm as he grappled them to the top of a medium sized motel. "Hey wait! What are you doing?!" The man yelled as Thomas brought him closer to the edge. "You're a hero, you won't do it," The man said as he stared into Batman's eyes with a smirk. His smirk was quickly wiped off his face as he suddenly found himself falling.
The man saw the ground growing closer as he screamed for his life. He suddenly felt an immense pain as he looked up to see his leg impaled into the building by an arrow. "You're lucky I caught you there buddy," Justin said staring at the man 's face as the man took in deep breaths. "Listen I'll make this easy here, if you tell me why you did this, and who you did it for, I'll get you down and make sure you can get away sound fair?"
Batman suddenly landed next to Justin as he turned towards the armored man. "Whoa, nice ears, I'll call you Pointy," Justin said as Batman stood there wordlessly. "So anyway, if you don't well... Pointy here will deal with you," Justin said as the man nodded his head quickly agreeing to the terms.
"Ok, I'll tell you! His name is Tombstone we were supposed to deliver these weapons to him," the man said with panic in his voice. "What weapon?" Batman questioned. "Oscorp that's where we stole it from! It's some kind of serum! I swear that's all I know!" The man yelled as Batman turned and moved towards the back of the truck and opened the doors looking inside. He saw a chamber and vials filled with green liquids.
He took a vial and stored it in his utility belt as he turned and left the truck. He quickly hopped into the tank-like vehicle again as he drove off.
Alright, well thanks buddy and as promised I'll get you out of here," Justin said pulling out the arrow and putting it back into his quiver before he caught the man. The man groaned in pain as Justin quickly grappled him and the man to a random building. "Alright just say you got shot up here by a weird shadow figure but you barely escaped, and you should be fine," Justin said giving a quick 2 fingered salute as he hopped off the building and grappled towards his apartment.
Batman was driving down an empty road as he entered the Batcave through a waterfall. He parked the car as he jumped out of it walking up towards the computer. "Jarvis analyze this serum," Batman said putting the vial in the analyzer as he took off his helmet. "Sir this is the goblin serum. It gives the user super strength and regenerative abilities with a side effect of, severe aggression, and insanity," Jarvis said running a simulation of the user before and after they take the serum. Thomas looked at the results as he pulled up an article of the Green Goblin from the Daily Bugle.
"Green Goblin attacks the parade! Spider-man assists in destruction!" Thomas then flipped the pages as he saw pictures of them fighting. Thomas then glanced at the time, it was 5:48 AM. "Crap gotta get back and get ready for school," Thomas said taking off his suit and running up the stairs.
Justin walked through the college doors to first period as he saw Jasmine. "Hey Jasmine, sorry about ditching on that anime night we had planned, had to deal with some things," Justin lied as he saw Thomas walking in. "It's fine Justin, I got called into work anyways," Jasmine said as Justin chuckled at the unlikelihood. "Wow, I guess we were both pretty busy. We'll have to reschedule for some other time."
"Yo Thomas!" Justin yelled waving. "Oh hey," Thomas tiredly responded.
"Geez what'd you do? It sounds like you completely exhausted yourself," Jasmine asked a bit concerned as she glanced at the bags underneath his eyes. "Oh I was staying up last night playing League and doing homework," Thomas answered rubbing his eyes. "Oof, don't kill yourself like that dude," Justin said as they began to walk to first period. "Yeah I gotta go to sleep earlier," Thomas said pulling out a Gatorade bottle. He sipped it as he entered the classroom and sat down at a desk.
From the Authors,
Yo we originally put this story on Wattpad but we're polishing it up slowly and also continuing it while also uploading it here!
The story, and particularly this first season (If that's the right word) is heavily inspired by Your Lie in April/Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso.
But essentially this story takes the Marvel and DC universes mashes them together but tosses it into the "future" and uses completely original characters.
Anyways this idea was originally proposed to me by DemoFragTom my Co-Writer. So all credit goes to him, I just helped him flesh out the story.
Oh, and on a last note the stories this fanfic will pull from is a lot of different comics and movies along with the Arrowverse.
