Hey everyone
Disclaimer: I own nothing… not even The Batman.
Directions: This installment is set to the Linkin Park song, Shadow of the Day, listen to the song before or during reading this. Listening to it afterwards will not bring about the desired effect.
Sunset
Intro
All around the city, night fell. Slowly, darkness crept over the gothic buildings of Gotham City. Night encompassed the streets as the crime rate began to steadily rise. The last shadows of the city were splayed about like fantastic creatures.
I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
While some people locked their doors and went to bed, many more were just getting up. As the night fell, people prepared for the work that had to be done.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh.
Bruce Wayne gets up from his luxurious king sized mattress and stands in front of a clock as it opens revealing a secret passageway…
A man with a horribly scarred face which made him look like some sort of demented circus freak roles out of the dirty cot he has been sleeping on and pulls on a long purple coat…
A young girl stumbles out of bed and stretches while walking over to the balcony near her bed. Looking out at the darkening city, a small smile comes over her face as she contemplated the nights work…
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you.
Camera zooms past the girl and into the City as the beautiful and decaying buildings slip into darkness. The city seems to be waking up as the sky holds onto the last of the light, relishing it for as long as possible. .
And the shadow of the day
The strict lines drawn between black and white, good and evil, heroes and villains, begin to disappear along with the day. The Batmobile races off with Batman and Robin inside, The Joker and Harley jump into a dilapidated ice-cream truck and slam the old doors,
Will embrace the world in gray,
The girl still watches the city, now in twilight, from her balcony.
And the sun will set for you...
The logo, "The Batgirl" fades in as the sun finally leaves the girl on the balcony and the city before her…
She turns away and gets to work.
Author's Notes:
Well there you have it: the opening songfic. This came about while I was listening to my Ipod on Party Shuffle and trying to think of a good opening for the fanfic. My Ipod played this song next, and I thought that this song would make a great opening.
Just to let you know, I was going to do the rest of the song also, but this came out to just about 1 and a half minutes; a perfect amount of time for a shows theme song.
