Note: Technically, this is not my first batman fic, but it IS my first Nolan-batman fic, so we'll just go with that. I also feel I have to apologize for the story's name, but I really couldn't think of anything else. A post-TDKR idea I came up with after seeing the movie. Please, review and comment. I own nothing relating in any way to Batman.
The Head of the Demon
Prologue
Bruce was sifting through the mail he'd just brought in. It was all fairly ordinary. Bills, a few checks, a few magazines. There was something wonderful about it, the simplicity and
ordinariness of it.
He found one envelope at the bottom of the pile. Scrawled beneath his address and new name was the word 'URGENT.' There was no return address, and he didn't recognize the handwriting. He opened up the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. It was folded. There was something drawn on the front fold. His eyes widened as he saw what it was.
It was a bat.
He unfolded the letter.
'The world is too small for someone like Bruce Wayne to disappear, no matter how deep he chooses to sink.'
He felt the blood drain from his face. He remembered those words. And who said them to him.
"That's not possible." He whispered to himself.
