Chapter 1

Naruto Uzumaki and his daughter Himawari Uzumaki sat on the train that was bound for the city of Gotham. As a police officer in SWAT he was used to being transferred to different departments, Himawari was by now used to moving, thankfully. Not that either had many belongings, save for Himawari's toys and both of their clothes. The truth was, ever since he started his crusade on crime, both as a cop and as, what his daughter referred to, a super hero. Naruto needed little save for money and the means to provide for his little girl.

"What's Gotham like Tou-san?" Himawari asked her father in an attempt to pry him away from his journal that he kept to catalogue the days after…

Naruto smiled at his daughter and answered, "From what I hear Himawari-chan it's a huge city, bigger than Los Angeles and colder during the winter."

Himawari's eyes gleamed brightly before dimming. She snuggled into her father's abdomen as she whispered, "I wish Mama and Boruto were here."

Naruto's eyes watered up as he wrapped an arm around his now only child. His reply was a saddened, "I do to Himawari-chan."

Flashback two years ago

Instinct, a fixed pattern of behavior in response to certain stimuli. That was what Naruto Uzumaki the former seventh Hokage of Konoha was experiencing right now. Parental instinct, fatherly instinct, to be more precise.

Naruto held his frightened daughter Himawari by the shoulders as he looked her in the eyes.

"Himawari-chan, listen to me carefully. When I summon the clones we're going to make a dash for Suna. Do you understand?" He asked urgently as the pair were, for the moment, safe behind the rubble that was formerly the Hokage tower.

Himawari nodded with tears in her eyes as she'd just seen her mother and brother being killed by the monster that was now hunting both her and her father.

Her father continued as he swallowed his saliva, "Now, if anything should happen to me, head for Suna by the mountains. Do you remember the path, the one with a river?"

The girl nodded and answered, "Yes Tou-san."

Naruto nodded and calmed his breathing, despite the fact that both his Hinata-chan and his only son Boruto were killed just under thirty minutes ago when Iwa decided to invade during the night with the help of a traitor in leafs midst. Naruto picked up Himawari and held her as he made shadow clones then transformed them to look like the two of them. There were seven pairs in total.

'Hopefully they'll buy us some time,' Naruto thought as he prayed for the best.

Naruto sped off with his clones and weaved in and out of them with the clones doing the same. Unfortunately the one that was hunting them, Sasuke Uchiha, spotted the real duo easily and pounced on them with a chidori ready. The pair made it out of the destroyed gate as Naruto threw a Rasenshurikin at the Uchiha.

Flashback end

Naruto recalled that there was a flash of light before waking up on a fishing vessel with his daughter unharmed. They then struggled for a while before Naruto learned English and had become a U.S. citizen. After that he'd become a member of SWAT with the LAPD, then established himself as a crime fighter via clones. He went back and forth between police and hero via substitution and it worked, no one suspected a thing. Himawari shifted a little and Naruto glanced at what she was looking at, across from them there was a copy of the Gotham Gazette with a picture of Batwoman on the front. He hugged his daughter close as she was slightly afraid of the Batwoman no matter what he said. Naruto himself was on edge when it came to her, he'd had the pleasure of meeting her once when Poison Ivy had tried to destroy LA. She was good, better than the stories let on. Naruto cringed when he remembered that she'd gotten the drop on him when he was in his 'Kitsune' uniform. She'd been surprised that he wasn't being controlled, and he'd insisted on helping her out with Ivy, which she grudgingly accepted. Naruto wondered briefly at how she'd react to him being in her city as he checked the time on his watch, as it was already getting dark. Naruto looked down and noticed that Himawari was asleep.

Fifteen minutes had passed and Himawari had by now woken up and the two decided to head down stairs to the loading area.

A ding sounded above them and an electronic voice droned, "Now arriving at Gotham City, please disembark safely when the train comes to a full and complete stop."

Naruto had by now gotten the three bags from the car by them and when the doors opened they disembarked to see a Latino woman holding up a sign that had their last name on it, or a horribly misspelled version. Naruto eyed the woman with a bit of suspicion at first only to calm down when her police badge came into view.

She gave the pair a small smile and said as she offered the blonde her hand, "Officer Uzumaki, I'm Anna Ramirez detective with GCPD: MCU. I've been tasked with making sure that you got here safely."

Naruto set a bag down and shook her hand then replied, "Good to meet you, though I was told that Commissioner Gordon would see me tomorrow. I hope you haven't been waiting here long."

Anna nodded and replied, "Yes, he just wanted to be sure that you got here alright, and no I haven't been waiting long. Do you want me to call a cab for you two?"

"Thanks for the offer but one has just stopped. Have a nice night," Naruto said as he flipped the duffel bag that he was carrying onto his back and held Himawari's hand.

Anna watched as the pair put their belongings into the taxi and got into the vehicle.

"Where to boss?" the cab driver asked as he looked into the mirror.

"Eighteenth street, Hedgerow apartments please," Naruto replied with a tired tone of voice as the driver began to move down the road.

It took twenty minutes to reach the building and after paying the first two months of rent Naruto and Himawari found themselves in the elevator on their way up to their new home. It was a tall building, and they were on the tenth floor.

Naruto smiled in amusement as Himawari's face went from neutral to excited as she looked out over the skyline.

"You know Himawari, if you stay like that your face could get stuck," Naruto joked before the doors opened.

Himawari had a shocked look but then saw her father's grin and laughed as she followed him into the room. It was furnished and clean, just as the ad said it would be. Naruto was thankful that it was or he'd have to file a formal complaint with the city health inspector.

"Which room is mine Tou-san?" Himawari asked her father who jabbed a thumb over to the smaller of the two rooms.

"Aww," she said in mock sadness before Naruto started to unpack.

Naruto called over his shoulder as he put his uniform into a closet, "Don't let me forget, you have school registration on Monday."

"But I don't want to go to school, I want to learn jutsu," Himawari whined from the doorway.

"Himawari-chan, going to school is a privilege. There are some people that don't get to go to school. As for learning Jutsu, when you have good Chakra control." Naruto answered tiredly as he found it ironic that he'd be lecturing his child on chakra control as Iruka did to him.

Naruto unpacked Himawari's blankets and made her bed then tucked her into it. He went back into the living room to find her stuffed toad that they got in LA. The blonde turned his attention back to Himawari's door when she called him.

"Daddy?" she called.

He went into her new room and gave her the stuffed animal then sat down on her bed, "Hai Himawari-chan?"

Her blue eyes blinked up at him as she asked, "Can you tell me a bedtime story?"

Naruto smiled and said, "Ok, my little Hime. Once upon a time, there was a man named Jiraiya…"

Naruto shut the door after he had finished telling Himawari of a really censored Jiraiya, Naruto smiled at the memory of his mentor until he thought back to that day. He thought back to the events that led up to this day, Sasuke came back to the village of his own free will. Looking back it was the stupidest decision to allow him- back in, but Naruto was the forgiving type. The blonde replayed it in his head and saw the mannerisms, the occasional glance to his children when he thought he wasn't looking. Naruto had chalked it up to him wanting kids of his own and thought nothing of it as Naruto took Sasuke at his word when he apologized for him leaving. He owned up to his deeds and accepted the two year punishment of house arrest, and having his chakra sealed. At least Naruto thought that Tsunade's order was carried out, Hinata had looked at him with her Byakugan and confirmed it. In the end however, it was Konoha's undoing. No one decided to take a look to physically see Sasuke getting sealed, he apparently had a sleeper agent in the village that specialized in seals.

Naruto didn't know it at the time but the seal was meant to be a chakra cloak. It was designed to make it seem as if the wearer had no chakra available for jutsu and they all fell for it. Naruto's thoughts drifted to that morning, the day his world came crashing down around him as Sasuke charged up a chidori to slam through his child's abdomen. It was a normal morning, He got up, kissed his wife, and made the kid's breakfast. The day went well after, or at least that's what he wanted to believe. No one reported anything to him, it should have been a red flag. The murderous psycho was cutting all communications to the outside world, starting with the ANBU. In the end he had reinforcements in the form of Iwa Shinobi, their entire army. When word finally reached Naruto he dealt with the army himself and decimated it, not realizing that the viper in the grass was about to strike. When Naruto's attention was finally returned to the village it was too late, every Shinobi from academy student to Jonin was dead. Naruto was then dead legged by Sasuke via a chakra reinforced punch. It messed up his chakra system thus it was hard for him to fight his ambusher. He'd retaliated as best he could but in the end it wasn't enough. The blonde was dragged to the center of town where he witnessed his family's murder by the one he had given so many chances to. All save for Himawari, who Naruto had substituted himself for before disorienting Sasuke.

Naruto came back to himself with a shiver before doing stationary exercises for an hour before going to bed himself.

The next morning, after leaving Himawari with seven shadow clones for protection, Naruto found himself sitting in front of Commissioner James Gordon who had Naruto's file on his desk.

"Well officer Uzumaki, I honestly don't know how to feel about your transfer. Don't get me wrong when I say that. You are good, very good. Two commendations for valor and a purple heart, any department would love to have you, including mine." Gordon said as he looked the young blonde man in the eye.

"If I may ask sir, why do you feel uneasy?" Naruto asked almost hesitatingly.

"It's no secret that Gotham's SWAT is… restless, I don't want them to tarnish your record." Gordon replied as he looked down, try as he might Brandon's team were responsible for millions in property damage.

"They won't sir, I don't have an itchy trigger finger. I promise you that," Naruto replied as his eyes hardened.

Gordon sighed and lit his pipe that he filled with tobacco, "Alright, I expect a lot Officer Uzumaki."

Naruto stood and shook the commissioner's hand as he responded, "You can count on me sir."

Naruto left Gordons office and went to meet his new 'colleagues' in Gotham's SWAT unit. Naruto massaged his temples as he could tell this would be a long day.

Later, during the afternoon

In Wayne enterprises Bethanie Wayne sat within her office with an employee of hers, a mister John Byron. The reason that he was there, looking at the absentminded expression of hers was that he'd been making lewd comments about her and her female employee's. She'd heard it all, John saying that he'd "Bang" his coworkers, boss, and even Bethanie herself. However he didn't know what he was called into her office for, apparently he thought he'd be getting to make his dream a reality as he had a grin on his face.

"Ms. Wayne, it's a pleasure, my you look lovely today." he said with a smile after a moment of waiting.

Bethanie's expression changed as she put on her "Billionaire seductress" Bethanie Wayne mask, complete with a dreamy smile.

"Mr. Byron, I want to say something to you…" She said in a really, really exaggerated silky tone.

"Y-Yes Ma'am?" Byron asked as his employer and fantasy circled her large, polished oak wood desk.

Her gaze was half lidded and her smile was mischievous. Bethanie's secretary, Luke Johnson looked into the office as he tried his hardest to not laugh at the man who had found himself in the hot seat, he'd seen his boss do this before when she fired another employee that had been stealing from her.

"Do you know what I want to tell you?" Bethanie cooed in a sweet voice as she prepared to drop the bomb.

"N-No Ma'am, I don't. What do you want to say?" John said as he tried to resist blushing in front of the woman before him.

"You're fired." Bethanie said in a flat tone as her face turned to neutral.

She watched in amusement as the proverbial record screeched and John was snapped to reality.

"What?" he asked in astonishment

"You're contract is being terminated for sexual harassment. Pack your belongings and leave the premises." She replied as she walked back around her desk.

Cold icy blue eyes watched as he stood and shoved the doors open all the while ranting about the 'Frigid Bitch' being unfair. Bethanie smiled as Luke held the door open for the younger man.

Bethanie smiled at him, it was still a semi fake smile seeing as she hadn't truly smiled since her friend Ryan Dawes was killed by the Joker a year ago.

"That was satisfying," Bethanie said as she stretched in her seat before she stood and walked towards Luke's desk and asked him, "Do I have any more meetings today Luke?"

"Only one ma'am, applied sciences has something to show you in the manufacturing plant on the north side of the city." He said before he smiled up at her.

Bethanie smiled back and exited her office then entered the elevator before Luke picked up the phone and dialed her group of body guards who were stationed down stairs. The ride down was in silence, save for the elevator music that she secretly detested. The elevator hit the ground floor and she exited the car to a team of body guards who escorted her to the limo zine outside where Alfred was waiting.

"Good day Miss Wayne." Alfred greeted with a warm smile as he held the door for her.

Bethanie gave her father figure and confidant a small smile and replied as she entered, "Thank you Alfred."

The vehicle headed in the direction of the plant as Bethanie stared out of the window, she frowned as they passed street after street that had trash in them, both the non-biodegradable objects and gangbangers. Four of her five bodyguards stared at her, it made her feel... slightly uncomfortable that they couldn't keep their minds on the job instead of her body. She often wore suits to give off a professional appearance, and to cover the scars she received from being Batwoman. Today she chose a pair of black pants, a white dress shirt and black coat. Bethanie leaned back into the leather seat and went over her plans for her patrol that night.

'First the diamond district, then the bowery, and finally the Coventry.' She decided in her head as the long car came to a stop and the men took their positions outside.

Alfred came around and opened the door then held his hand out to help her out, she took it and exited the vehicle as her guards walked ahead four paces to every one of her steps. The guards opened the doors for her and she entered then was greeted by the plant manager who wore a pink and gold women's suit with a pink skirt instead of pants.

Her hand reached out and offered her hand with a smile as she spoke, "Ms. Wayne, Hello ma'am. Josie Keys pleased to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine Josie, now what are our darling scientists cooking up?" Bethanie returned as the two walked to the warehouse.

"They've been eager to show you waynetech's newest addition to the cellular device market. They wanted to reveal the name to you in person, and I've agreed to keep it secret for them." Josie said with an apologetic look in her eye.

Bethanie mock pouted and said as they got to the warehouse door, "Ok, we'll hear it when we get there."

The doors opened…

Naruto had taken lunch off and went to the apartment to find Himawari eating lunch.

"Hi Dad," she greeted from her spot at the kitchen table upon seeing him enter and dispel the clones.

"Hey Himawari-chan, you ok?" He asked as he sat down beside her.

"Yup, I'm fine Tou-san. Are you staying home for the rest of the day?" she asked in a hopeful voice as she wanted to learn jutsu.

Naruto opened his mouth to answer that he was only back for thirty minutes but his cell phone rang.

Naruto answered it, "Naruto speaking."

"Uzumaki, thank God. We need you at the station pronto, one of Wayne enterprises warehouses has been taken over by anarchists, Johns and Quint aren't answering their cells, we need you to cover for them."

Naruto stood and replied, "I'm on my way," he hung up and turned to his daughter and made a few shadow clones then said, "Sorry Himawari-chan, I've got to go. I'll take you out tonight for ice cream, I promise."

Naruto hurried back to the station and met Brendan in the locker room, where he changed into his uniform and grabbed his rifle. The team, Brendan, Naruto, and seven others got into their van and headed north.

On the way Brendan explained the situation, "Listen up, anarchists have taken over the north Wayne enterprises manufacturing plant and have taken hostages. They say that they have the company's owner Bethanie Wayne with them, and are willing to kill their hostages if we don't shut down Wayne Enterprises."

It was five minutes before the van came to a halt in front of the plant, where Gordon and several other cops were already positioned outside of the building. Brendan was preparing to march into the facility only for Gordon to stop him.

"Brendan, the SWAT team can't enter. We don't know how many of them are in there, that aside there's a lot of Wayne enterprises equipment in the building. I don't want to pay for property damage and possibly some rich girl's new yacht." Gordon said as he maneuvered himself in front of the SWAT commander.

Brendan backed off and had SWAT stand down until he noticed something, the new guy was missing. Brendan looked around for him until he saw Naruto climbing a latter on the side of the building.

He got onto his radio, "Uzumaki, what the hell are you doing?"

Naruto replied in a loud whisper, "I'm heading in to free the hostages, and take these guys out," Naruto paused as he looked through the grating of the vent, "They have the front locked down tight, three men, two behind the windows another behind the door."

Brendan chuckled slightly before he replied, "You got balls Uzumaki, but you could get fired for this."

Naruto dropped onto a box that was on the highest shelf in receiving before he said, "I'm willing to take my chances."

"Officer Uzumaki, son, you have a lot of explaining to do." Gordon cut in as he'd heard the conversation.

Naruto crouched behind a box of supplies before he responded, "I'm just trying to free the hostages' sir, if you want to fire me…"

Gordon growled, "No, I'm not willing to fire you. You will be doing a few extra shifts for the force though."

Naruto snuck up behind one of the criminals and delivered a chop to the neck before he responded, "I'll take it."

Naruto had entered an assembly lab and had opened another vent that lead to a maintenance ladder and climbed up it. The ladder lead to a hall where a man with a machine gun was patrolling. He stood behind a corner and when the man got close he yanked the gun out of his grasp and hit him with it, knocking him out. Naruto crouched and made his way up three flights of stairs before hearing pained cries from the next room. He made his way to the door and listened in.

"You and your corporate friends aren't safe anymore!" yelled a man from inside of the room, "You think that I don't know that your boss is a high ranking member of the Authority huh?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, let these us go. Bethanie Wayne's the one you want right, why don't you just take her?" a terrified voice asked pleadingly.

"No, you're drones! Working for the Authority too!" the man replied with a snarl, "I'm going to free the oppressed from the choke of your corporate filth! Starting with your deaths, I'll be a hero."

Naruto switched his rifle from safe to semi-automatic before he kicked open the door and tossing a flash bang grenade into the room. It went off and Naruto entered, there were four thugs in the room, all armed. He raised his weapon and fired at the one who was the closest to a hostage. Naruto fired twice, one in the hand and another in the arm. He then turned his attention to one in the back and shot him in the leg, the last ones went down from shots to the shoulders.

Naruto took the opportunity to move the men's weapons away from them before cuffing all of them.

"Alright everyone, stay here and wait for the SWAT team." Naruto said as one of the hostages, a woman in a pink outfit came up to him.

"They took Ms. Wayne to my office, their boss is there with her." She explained in a frightened voice.

Naruto turned to leave before the woman gave him directions, "Down the hall to your left there'll be a stairwell to my office, please hurry."

He nodded then got onto his radio, "Commissioner, most of the hostages are secure accept for a Ms. Wayne. Send the team in, I'm going after the leader."

Gordon disagreed emphatically, "No officer Uzumaki, wait for backup."

Naruto groaned inwardly before he replied, "Roger that sir, waiting with the hostages."

Naruto turned around and made sure that the suspects were away from their weapons. He then briefly considered making a shadow clone to get Wayne, but decided against it as his genjutsu was still horrible.

He heard faint gunfire through the walls before Brendan himself entered the room and said, "Uzumaki, get the rich girl. I've got this."

Naruto nodded and raced down the hall and headed up the stairwell when he found it. Ten paces down another hall and he came to a set of double doors. Naruto took a breath and planted his boot into the door, knocking it down. The man inside moved and within moments had his hostage in front of him. The "Leader" was a young teen, probably not even eighteen.

"Get back pig!" the boy shouted as used who had to be Bethanie Wayne as a human shield.

"Kid, put the weapon down," Naruto tried to reason as he inched forwards.

"I said get back," he shouted again before he cocked his pistol that he had in his hand which he pointed at the Burnette's head.

Naruto froze and was going to take the man out but his hostage reacted. She raised her high heeled foot before bringing the sharp heel crashing down on the man's toes. The man yowled in pain and tripped the attempted escapee before Naruto used the under barrel Taser on his rifle to make the kid drop his weapon and fall to the floor.

Naruto turned to the heiress and asked, "You ok?"

Bethanie's face went from shocked to panic as she replied, "Yes, I think so. But they have other hostages."

"They're alright ma'am. SWAT's clearing the building as we speak," Naruto responded as he helped the woman to her feet.

Twenty minutes later, all of the hostages were out of the building and were allowed to return home after giving a statement.

Commissioner Gordon was speaking with the Wayne heiress to see if his department would be sued, "Sorry about the mess in there Ms. Wayne, our SWAT unit can be a little rough around the edges."

Bethanie responded with a sarcastic smile before she got into the now pulling up limo, without her guards, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure that the computers weren't expensive, and the loading equipment was dirt cheap, not to mention that the walls that have been shot up."

Naruto watched her leave as Brendan whistled behind him before he said, "Hottest broad on the face of the earth."

Naruto rolled his eyes at the comment before they headed back to the station and he received a lecture from the commissioner about 'going cowboy'. Gordon had decided to make Naruto have seven night shifts in a row for acting without informing him, Naruto took the punishment with his head held high and exited the building then returned home.

"Tou-san," shouted Himawari as she saw him walk through the door.

"Hey Himawari-chan," Naruto said as he engulfed her in a hug.

Himawari pulled back before she asked, "Can we go out for ice cream now?"

A smile lit up Naruto's face before he nodded and grabbed her coat before heading out the door. The ice cream parlor was only two blocks away.

Across Gotham

Bethanie was in her cave after the 'excitement' that happened that day, she was going over the attack in her head and something didn't make sense.

"How could they have known that Bethanie Wayne would be there? I think I'll pay them a visit at their hangout." she said before Alfred came down the stairs with a mug of hot chocolate.

"Perhaps Madam, a leak at Wayne enterprises?" the butler offered as he set the mug down on the desk of the computer.

Bethanie considered it as she stared at the mug for a moment before she turned in her chair and strode over to the Batmobile.

Alfred was going to ask if his employer wanted to keep the mug only for Bethanie to call from the front seat of her car, "Put it in the microwave please."

The turntable rotated the vehicle to the cave exit then she started the ignition and sped down the tunnel into the night. The trip was short as she parked the car in a tight back alley and sealed it.

Bethanie kneeled down on a roof top overlooking an abandoned warehouse, one of the places where the anarchist groups hung out. She entered the warehouse via the skylight and shut it behind her as a black car drove up. She watched as the vehicle squealed softly to a halt before the anarchists made a semi-circle around the car. She kneeled down on top of a high storage box and got ready to listen in on what the person in the car was going to say when he got out of the vehicle. The back door of the car opened and outstepped a man in a black trench coat stood in front of the leader of the anarchists.

"Youse boys failed, now my boss isn't happy," the man in the trench coat said with a thick Boston accent.

"SWAT showed up, and-" the gang leader replied before he was interrupted.

"You frigging panicked, and your panic cost us the opportunity to get the jump on Wayne at the upcoming show. Now, I don't care what youse got to do, get mister Byron to tell you about Wayne security," the man said with such finality that he got back into his car and it drove off, leaving coughing anarchists in his wake.

Bethanie had the entire conversation recorded within her cowl and narrowed her eyes at the gang members. There were twelve of them in the warehouse, but half left the scene seconds later, save for the leader and five others. She decided to leave them for the police as she crept down to ground level where two men were looking in the opposite direction. Without warning she grabbed the men's heads and violently bashed them into each other, knocking them out. The others heard the commotion and went over to see what the noise was as Batwoman retreated into the shadows.

'Now that I have your attention, let's see you sweat," she thought with a dark smirk as she retreated up into the rafters and circled around the men.

The leader took the remaining three men with him to grab a sawn off shotgun. The others grabbed weapons of their own and began to search the building for Batwoman, little did they know however that this is what she wanted. The caped crusader watched as one of the men went under her before she jumped and knocked him to the floor as the man shouted in distress before she planted her fist in his skull.

"Who shouted?" called one of the gangbangers

Bethanie got out of sight by opening a grate that was down on the floor and got into it. She waited silently for a few moments before the last two found the unconscious body.

"How the hell's she doing this?" one asked the leader who ran back to the manager office to barricade himself in.

Bethanie chose this opportunity to pop up and deliver a DDT to the man, knocking him out then heading to the office.

The door to the office had a desk wedged in front of it, apparently the leader thought that it was enough to stop her. Normally she'd just use her explosive gel to get him but instead just got into the rafters again. The leader was crouched behind the table, pointing his weapon at the door. Bethanie climbed down behind him silently before he turned and moved to shoot her but she was faster and knocked the weapon from his grasp and sent the leader face first into the floor.

He was still conscious when she drove her booted foot into his neck and snarled in a gravely tone, "Why did you raid Wayne's warehouse?"

"Screw you Batbitch." He replied angrily.

Bethanie growled at the insult before she increased the pressure and hissed, "I'm going to break every bone in your body…"

The anarchist whimpered before he told her, "Ok, Ok, John Dagget wants to one up the Wayne broad at the tech convention in six months, we were supposed to steal Wayne's prototype but failed. Now please, let me go?"

"Goodnight," she said simply before she drove her knee into the man's head.

Bethanie put two fingers on the side of her cowl where her ear would be and activated her radio to contact Alfred, "Alfred, send the police an anonymous tip that some of the Anarchist gang have been rounded up at the docks."

"Yes Madam, will you be looking further into the attack today?" Alfred said in response.

"Yes, I just found out that John Byron has been leaking info on Wayne security. I fired him today for harassment but it looks like his night is going to get worse," Bethanie said with a smirk at the prospect of making the analyst squirm.

Across town the aforementioned man stumbled out of a bar that was across from an ice-cream parlor. John had gotten finished with drinking a bottle of whiskey when he decided that he'd had enough. He crossed the street when a blonde haired man and a girl walked out of the shop. John was confused with what he saw and went to ask a question as the man moved his daughter behind him.

"Why ish your hair B-Blue?" John slurred

"Have you been drinking tonight sir?" Naruto asked as he held up a police badge.

"Yeah… only a l-little. Man… I hate C-Cops you just push people around," John responded

Naruto stared at the drunk man in front of him before he saw a shadow move across a roof top. He decided to ignore the man's comment and the shadow as he held Himawari to him and hailed a cab.

"Yes sir?" the cab driver asked Naruto who pointed to the drunk.

"Can you get him home? Guy's not exactly sober," Naruto asked as the drunk staggered to the vehicle.

The man went into the vehicle but didn't shut the door before he made one more comment, "Thanks buddy… You're a prick but a-a good prick."

Naruto watched as the car rolled away before the pair walked back to their apartment, half unaware that they were being watched.

Bethanie gritted her teeth in annoyance, she really wanted answers from that worm John but wasn't about to lower herself to interrogating a drunk man.

"Tomorrow night Byron… tomorrow night," Bethanie growled before she turned her attention back to the blonde man with his daughter.

She watched them for a moment before she saw the bat-signal and heading towards it.

When Naruto and Himawari got home Naruto sat down on the living room couch before Himawari snuggled in next to him.

"Daddy?" she asked as Naruto turned on the television.

Naruto looked down at her with a raised eyebrow, Himawari noticed this and said, "Are you going to go out tonight?"

Naruto shook his head and kissed his daughter on her head and answered, "No, not tonight Hime. What do you want to watch?" he asked as the Television was on the news.

"Disney channel, the Avengers are coming on," she said excitedly as her father laughed.

"Who's a better super hero me or Captain America?" Naruto asked Himawari who giggled

"You," the two laughed as the movie started.

It was three in the morning when Bethanie returned to the manor, all in all it was a good night. Three heists were stopped, several muggings were halted with extreme prejudice, and Anarchists were in police custody. Byron getting off easy for now was a bit of a let-down but still it was a good night.

Bethanie warmed the mug of chocolate before drinking it as she sat at the bat-computer and mulled over her lot in life. Silently she wondered how she'd have turned out if her parents hadn't died, maybe she'd have been married by now.

Bethanie was jolted out of her depressing train of thought as Alfred called, "Ms. Wayne, please remember that you have a fashion show to go to with Mrs. Kardashian tomorrow."

Bethanie blinked in surprise and recalled that she had to attend the show even though she utterly detested how ugly the fashion world made women feel. She groaned loud enough to scatter the bats that roosted in the cave, tomorrow was going to be utter hell if she had to listen to how better Beyoncé was than Beck, she didn't like either.


Omake

Bethanie clutched her leg that was bleeding all over the floor of the hotel apartment complex that she'd entered in order to heal herself from the gunshot wound that she'd received an hour prior. The apartment was empty and Bethanie had just taken out her emergency medical supplies from her utility belt. She began to tend to herself when she heard a wail.

"Waah!"

Her face scrunched up in confusion before she was about to get up and check out the disturbance until she heard it again from outside this time. She stuck her cowled head out the window to see on the level below her there was a sleeping man that was yelling.

"Waah! Vincent the Vulture, Vincent the Vulture with his three eyes, one red, one yellow and one gold… Waah!"

Bethanie growled and shut the window loudly then went back to tend to her wound.

Eugene Fullstack woke up, the first thing he noticed was there were bars next to him.

"I want a lawyer…" he said then noticed that he was outside.

Eugene had suffered from bad dreams on account of comic books, so much so that he yelled in his sleep. His roommate Rick would try and deal with it as best he could, which in this case meant putting Eugene out on the fire escape. The skinny man walked back into his room and almost reached his bed when there was a knock at the door.

Eugene opened the door to see His and Rick's landlady at the door, "Eugene, you better find a way to shut that mouth of yours before I get another visit from the police. I'm warning you because I got a complaint a couple of days ago from an artistic tenant in 4A. You and Rick don't mess with 4A ever. Are we clear?"

Eugene nodded vigorously before the landlady left. He paced around the room for a minute before he decided to get his friend Rick some help. Rick was an artist that was sadly out of work and had recently gotten depressed over the fact.

Eugene darted up the stairs and knocked excitedly on the door of apartment 4A.

Bethanie had stopped the bleeding and bandaged up her leg when she heard knocks at the door, she was getting sick of interruptions but none-the-less answered it to see the once screaming man talking to himself.

Eugene faced the wall and practiced what he'd say to 4A to perhaps convince her or him to help Rick "Um my name is Eugene Fullstack and I hear that you are a very successful artist and I wanted to know if you could talk to my friend Rick who is one of the better painters. And I just thought if someone so successful could talk to him you might just cheer him up, you see he's getting very discouraged just hanging around."

Bethanie cut in with a gravelly voice as she stood in the doorway, "So am I."

Eugene turned to face her with a smile to begin his little speech when he saw her, "WOAH WOAH WOAH, RICK Rick!" he yelled as he tripped down the stairs.

Eugene ran down two flights of stairs and entered the apartment by the banister, not knowing that he'd mistaken another apartment for his and that he'd went down one flight to many.

"Rick! Rick! Rick I just saw the Batlady upstairs, and I… Woah!" Eugene yelled as he turned on a lamp by the bed only to discover a rotund woman.

He then ran out of the room and went up a flight of stairs to the correct apartment, all the while rambling, "The Batlady… the fatlady…"

Eugene reached Ricks room and shook his awake, "Rick I saw the Batlady upstairs on the fourth floor!"

Rick jolted awake and heard his friend talking about crazy things like the batlady and fatlady, "Eugene you were just having one of your bad dreams will you just go to sleep."

"No Rick honest, I ran into the Batlady upstairs then I ran into the Fatlady" Eugene tried to explain only to be cut off by Rick

"What are you talking about, Batlady Fatlady are you crazy?"

Eugene tried to elaborate, "No Rick the Batlady's upstairs. She's got things sticking out of her head she's a crazy looking person."

Rick was annoyed now, "Eugene you've got things sticking in your head now look we'll see."

Rick got up to show Eugene that there was nothing there all the while Eugene was trying to stop him, "Rick for real I keep telling you."

They stopped at the door and Rick said, "Alright Eugene be a brave boy and open the door."

"No I'm scared Ricky," Eugene said pleadingly but Rick wasn't having it.

"I thought you loved the Batlady?" Rick asked exasperated

"Yeah but I'm scared of the Fatlady" Eugene said before he slowly opened the door to see the Fatlady standing there with a hot water bag in her grip.

He darted his head back in and said, "She's out there!"

Rick questioned, "The Batlady?"

Eugene shook his head and replied, "The Fatlady."

Rick grunted in annoyance at his friend then shouted before he opened the door, "You're just flipping your butch I'll show you that no one's out there."

SPLAT

Rick breathed in deeply as his head and pajamas were now soaked with hot water.

"She uh she's out there." Rick conceded.

"The Batlady?" Eugene asked

"No… the Fatlady." Rick responded tiredly.

A/N ok that was my first omake, it was a scene from the film Artists and Models. I watched it when I was a kid and thought that it'd be good to put in the first chapter as an apology for making everyone wait for so long. Thanks for reading and please review.
