This is my first Fanfiction ever! I hope you R&R and give me comments on what you would like to see in upcoming chapters. I don't know if this will end up being Dan/Wltr pairing or not. but still I hope you enjoy anyway.

Daniel finally got to sleep around midnight, it seemed that since the Keene act most of what he was trying to do was live a normal life. Mostly he was bored, bored of living that normal life. There was no excitement in it. He lies to himself and to Hollis when he says that he doesn't miss the crime fighting at odd hours of the night. But he gave it up a little over a year ago, along with other costumed heroes. Not by choice of coarse but rather the Keene Act.

He left all of his hero memorabilia to the basement; there only purpose is to gather dust. Each year added a thick layer to a never forgotten exciting past. He didn't know why he held on to it for all of these years, he was sure that he could sell it to colleges or whoever might be interested in random things 'owl' related, if he wanted. Maybe it was his love for birds and air craft that he kept these things. Maybe he was afraid that if he did clear his basement that it would be like his past had never happened.

His past, back when the masked vigilantes where able to protect the innocent. He always preferred to do his job with the least amount of violence possible. Didn't' seem to work out that way most of the time, but things evened out when he partnered up with Rorschach to try and put a hold on New York's gang activity. While Nite Owl tried to do things calmly Rorschach wouldn't even blink to break a few fingers or snap an arm to get needed information.

Nite Owl never approved of his behavior, especially when Rorschach seemed to block everything else out while beating the living crap out of some criminal in a dark alleyway. Of Course this was after the Blair Roche case. Before his partner let the criminals live and have the police deal with them. But after that night in 1975, he was never the same. He had no mercy for any criminals after that night, they were lucky to make it out alive.

Rorschach refused to give in to the Keene act, is now the only vigilante left, still stocking the dank streets and alleys at night to kick the shit out of criminals, and doing god only knows during the day light hours.

Daniel smiled in his sleep; Dreaming about the old days seemed to be all he had left.

"Rorschach what did you do!" Nite Owl gaped at the open elevator shaft, and couldn't help but notice that three became two.

"Asked for it." Rorschach said in what Nite Owl preserved as his 'innocent' tone.

"But he wasn't even a real villain!"

"Was annoying me. You too. Don't deny it." Rorschach paused as if looking for another excuse. "Wanted it any way." He pushed past his partner; Daniel had no Idea that past the swirling mask was a huge grin.

Captain Carnage, a man who begged for punishment. Claimed he was a super villain. But posed little threat to a child, be just wanted to get a high from a good 'ol fashioned beating from anyone who would give it to him.

Rorschach did just that. By throwing him down the most conveniently placed broken elevator shaft. The night had turned out promising too, crime actually seemed to take a break after the news of vigilante pairings taking care of the city that the police seemed to be ignoring. It was a blessing for Nite Owl to have a break, but Rorschach seemed restless, it was like he couldn't be happy unless he was kicking the snot out of criminals!

"Daniel!" Rorschach called.

He was a few good feet ahead of Daniel, but his posture and movement didn't seem to change when he called.

"What? Hey! Look at me at least if you want to talk! Wait a minuet… I want to talk! Captain Carnage was no threat to you! What gives you the... oh forget it!" he trudged on forward. I didn't seem like Rorschach was going to listen to him at the moment any way.

"Daniel!"

"What Dammit? Turn around and talk to me!" He was starting to get frustrated when once again: Rorschach wouldn't reply. What was he doing?

"DANIEL! WAKE UP!!!!"

EDIT

I have some free time on my hands and I wanted to try and improve this chapter a bit. Looking it over it was absolutely horrible. I added a little more detail into a few paragraphs and make this a little less boring. I want more care into my first fan fiction. To my reviewers you will be glad to know that I keep a dictionary next to me while typing now. I also upped my collection to more than just the movie. I now have the graphic novel and the film companion at my side. I'll start working on chapter 3 soon.
