Young Guns

Chapter: 2

Adventures can be a bummer

GPD Headquarters

The next day

The GPD is as busy as always in which Gotham is a hot bed of criminal activity and among other things, as cops come and go from the GPD headquarters as Jim Gordon is busy at his desk looking over paper work, he hated doing paper work. He got to work with it as he never liked this part of the job and across from him is Harvey Bullock who is reading the newspaper until the phone rings on his desk as he picks it up and listens to whoever is on the other line.

Gordon must of thought it must be another case or something else as he noticed a frown upon his partners face as Bullock turned to look at him before hanging up the phone as Bullock sighed a bit and Gordon could tell this is trouble, as he put down his pencil and glared at Bullock waiting for the answer as people are going about their business, as he knows there is always something going on in Gotham.

"Jim," said Bullock "Got the call from Arkham Jerome Valeska escaped,"

"Damn," said Gordon "We better go find him before he causes chaos again,"

"Yeah we better," said Bullock "They found a lot of pictures in his cell of Bruce Wayne,"

"Ah, hell," said Gordon "Better inform the captain and we'll go to Wayne Manor,"

"Good idea," said Bullock

Both of them got up from their chairs, they informed the captain and headed out to get right to work in capturing that mad kid Jerome Valeska who's wreaked havoc upon Gotham more than once and they know they don't want another incident.

Wayne Manor

"Brucie where are you," said Jerome

Jerome Valseka is wandering the halls of Wayne Manor he rather liked the place and is considering burning down the place, he decided to come here first to confront Bruce Wayne after being humiliated by him in their last encounter, he found it to be fun to say the least. It was morning time and no one in the manor is around hmmm? Perhaps he should have come sooner, oh well too late for that anyway.

"Well, well," said Jerome "Brucie holds a thing for his parents,"

Jerome almost gagged at looking at all three of them in the painting, family bah as he had killed his mother and father. However his brother still lives and doesn't live in Gotham, good he doesn't want his worthless brother in the city anyway and was planning on killing him anyway. He glanced at the time upon the clock, oh right it's morning and he must be at school or Wayne Enterprises, security is tighter at those places.

Then out of the corner of his eye he sees a blonde girl looking in the window and he knew who it is, that girl of Brucie's the Kat something and he gave off a grin as it could work and he figured he could use her as bait to draw Bruce out, he could use some muscle as well and got in contact a few followers of his that are still alive and not in prison. Selina saw that monster and left the grounds, she had to warn Bruce before it's too late.

Private school

Alfred had dropped them off at school as Alfred had used the car to take his friend Max to the special hospital to get the treatment done for cancer and so they headed into the school as kids are going inside, along with teachers also. Bruce mentioned to James gym class starts first, of course Ted Grant still angry at James for humiliating him challenged him to a boxing match after the cross-country run.

Gym class started in the morning as Bruce is with James, along with other students in which they are about to do some laps and then followed by some climbing. Bruce wanted to train his body to do such things like this and James had done this before. So they got into starting position and the gun goes off as all of them started to do some cross-country in a form of several laps.

Bruce noted that James did his own pace as the others were a little ahead of him, however James caught up with the others and passed by them in no time, Bruce could tell James has done something like this before considering he has the nick name of Danger James from that Danger society club. The cross-country kept going on for a bit until Bruce and James were neck and neck.

Bruce wanted to go past his limits in running and did so James noticed this as he picked up speed as well, both of them are sprinting a bit until Bruce got a cramp in his right leg as he hobbled a bit, but kept on going and James was finished as he watched Bruce hobble to the finish line, as Bruce stumbled a bit as James lent him a hand and nodded. Bruce knows he has a long way to go.

"I've done cross-country before," said Bond "So I am used to it,"

"Yeah I think I need to do more," said Bruce "Looks like you have a boxing match,"

Inside the gym

The bell had rung as James and Ted step out from their corners in which Ted starts off with a right and a left as James dodges those shots as he landed a hard punch to the stomach, followed by several jabs to the face. Ted then tried to rope him and get some hits on James as he got in a defensive posture as Ted landed a few until he is stunned by a hard uppercut to his nose as his head snapped back. The kids noticed Ted is a good boxer and has beaten some of the best in school, but see now Ted "Wildcat" Grant is being schooled.

Ted growled in annoyance and using his nickname the Wildcat to go crazy by trying to land several shots only to miss or be blocked, James then sticks and moves as he followed by several jabs to Ted's face as he kept on getting more mad and tried to hit him, but missed again. Then James landed a hard shot to Ted's stomach, followed by a hard shot to the jaw along with a hard shot to the nose as Ted goes down hard. Ref counted to 10 and Bond had won as Ted looked like he was sleeping on the mat.

"Well that was fun," said Bond

"I need to learn to do that," said Bruce "Alfred did taught me some boxing skills,"

"And who do you think?" said Bond "Taught Alfred,"

"Max," smiled Bruce

"It seems you have company," said Bond

Bruce turned around to see Jim Gordon a man he trusts and his partner Harvey Bullock as it looks like they have been watching the fight.

"Detective Gordon, Detective Bullock what brings you here," asked Bruce

"Hey Bruce we got some bad news," said Gordon

"Alfred,' said Bruce

"Jerome Valseka escaped from Arkham and is gunning for you," said Bullock "Just to let you know and who is your friend, he boxes pretty good almost better than Jim."

"Bond, James Bond," said Bond "Thank you sir, but by the looks of you, you have been boxing a few doughnuts,"

"Hey now hold on," said Bullock

"Back on subject," said Gordon "Best if you get protection,"

Streets of Gotham

Selina "Kat" Kyle is walking the streets of Gotham as she is heading to the private school where Bruce goes to, to warn him about that creep until she is being followed by a couple of people behind her and then she ducked into an ally as a couple more people are in front of her. Then she turned around the creep known as Jerome Valseka stands there with a sinister like smile.

"Such a pretty kitty," said Jerome "Bruice likes you and I know it, don't worry I will let you live….well maybe after I kill Bruce," then he bursts out laughing as it echoed all around and the people surrounded her, she couldn't call for help or scream considering this is Gotham.
