A BROKEN SAVIOUR
1. The fall of Bane
Bane looked around the street, his eyes watchful of the people piling onto the streets. It had been an hour since the bomb had gone off and Batman had saved Gotham. Snow fell around Bane's feet clutching to his jacket. He had just woken up from the shot he had retrieved from Batman's sidekick the famous cat bugler. He didn't understand how he survived or how Gotham didn't blow up. Bane's eyes fell upon a family, the youngest child was repeating over and over again "Batman saved us, I knew he would!"
So the Batman saved Gotham, he thought to himself. Bane walked further into another street in the outskirts of the city there were bodies in the streets people screaming, Bane didn't understand he was confused to why the people were scared, they had survived. He bent down next to a body and took the scarf wrapped around their neck, he wrapped around his own lifting it over his mask to make sure no one would notice him. Bane wore the scarf like he had in the Pit the only thing people would see is his eyes, which were full of fight but now he was not sure if he could fight any more for he did not know where Talia is. The thought of Talia made the past come rushing back how Bane fought for her, how he wore this mask because of her he used to wear it with pride but when she told Batman about her and Bane he realised that she was not that child he had saved. She has left him; she didn't care for him as he had for her not the same way. In the Pit she was the proof of some innocence in the world but as she grew older she became spiteful even hateful towards others. He had loved her that was his only crime.
As he continued walking, he noticed men -definitely not his men- who had guns and knives it was like the fight had not ended here. Bane crouched down hiding from view of the rebels, it was then he heard someone call out to him, a cry for help "Bane!" Bane searched for the person who would give his cover away if they weren't quiet. He then saw a middle aged woman she looked wealthy but she looked broken and beaten. He wondered why this woman is seeking help from him a murderer, a criminal! Bane's brows furrowed looking down at the woman that was laying on the rubble of a destroyed building "please!" she begged "my daughter save her please!" Bane had not noticed that she was clutching the body of a young girl with bright blue hair. "why?" Bane asked in a low voice, the woman began to cry when he asked this "she does not deserve this! She is too innocent to deserve what will happen to her!" she was quietly screaming this but it had no effect on him. He looked at the girl's face it reminded him of the child Talia, the Talia he fell in love with. Bane did not know why but he took the girl from the woman's arms "I know you only did all this to Gotham for her that girl that you love, I can see it in your eyes" Bane was taken back by what the woman had just said. How could she know why he had done what he did?! He frowned ignoring what she had said "where do I take her?" the woman smiled "the Salvatore house at the top of the street you will BOTH be save there" he nodded he didn't understand why she was showing him kindness. He began to walk to the house when the woman grabbed his leg "we forgive you as soon as we saw you we forgave you" Bane nodded again and began to run towards the house but he stopped to look back and when he did there was a man standing over the woman with a gun pointed at her, Bane held the girl's head closer to his chest when the man pulled the trigger and he could swear he felt tears fall down the girl's face.
