Chapter I: Chloe meets Batman
It was Trinity's idea to come here, Chloe thought to herself as she walked down the dark alley in Gotham City. She had on the advice of Clark's half sister Trinity had taken a vacation from The Daily Planet due to some of the weird happenings in Smallville that had occurred. First an alien from Clark's home planet of Krypton had overtaken Lex Luthor and had Clark imprisoned in The Phantom Zone but was released by Jor-El's assistant Raya. With Clark now looking for "Zoners" as she called them, it was time for her to take some time off and take a week away from the craziness that is Smallville. She remembered the discussion at Clark's farm barn where Trinity was hooking up her prototype vehicle to a charging station.
"Why don't you go to Gotham? I've been there. You need a change of pace," Trinity had said. "Sides, you'll have your cell phone if you need help. If you do, Clark or I will come running," She had joked. Clark had encouraged her to come here. Now a week later, she had gotten lost and had ended up in an alleyway in a city she barely knew. She had heard of a vigilante who called himself "Batman" had been terrorizing the streets of Gotham. She told her editor-in-chief that she wanted to investigate this mysterious "Batman". She had said. Her Editor-in-chief just smiled, and granted her request, calling it a 'working vacation'. She already missed her cousin Lois Lane, who was working for a tabloid newspaper called The Inquisitor, and she was hard at work on a story on a local vigilante who called himself "The Green Arrow".
She then saw a couple of tough looking men coming in the alley towards. She reached for her cell phone ready to call Lex, Trinity or Clark. She and Lex had dated, but now He was dating the former girlfriend/fiancée of Clark Kent, Lana Lang. The two had cut contact with each other when she refused to join him while Zod was in possession of his body.
"Hey lady, your pretty. Give me some money," One thug said raising a knife toward her neck. She dropped her cell phone and pulled out of her trench coat a can of mace.
"Ooh a fighter!" the other thug said as he grabbed her wrist and the can fell right beside her cell phone. Suddenly something black and hard knocked the knife from the thug's hand that held it.
"Shit! It's the batman!" The other thug said as he pointed up to the rafters of a nearby apartment building. Someone dressed in a black body suit, which looked like a bat came flying down. The two thugs ran from the scene. They had heard about this wacko who was putting fear in the hearts of criminals everywhere.
"Are you all right?" Spoke the Batman from behind a voice synthesizer. She nodded, still shaking with fear.
"Who are you?" She asked finally seeing him underneath the light of a nearby light.
"You tell me," He said as he suddenly took to the air. He was gone. She very quickly grabbed her cell phone and can of mace and dialed the first number on her Cell phone address book.
Kent Farm, Smallville-4 hours away-Trinity began to drive stakes into the ground to rebuild the fence to keep the pigs in, when her cell phone rang. She picked it up, and said," talk to me!"
"Trinity, it's me Chloe. I saw him!" Chloe said from the other end, sounding frightened.
"Who? Who did you see, Chloe?" Trinity asked. She then heard a name she never thought she would hear again.
"The batman!" was her friend's answer.
