Chapter 4
Terry arrived home to find police out side his house and his mother standing at the stairs.
"Mom what happened what's going on?" Terry grabbed her shoulders.
"Your father he... he was attacked by jokers. He... he…" She couldn't continue and Terry ran into the house pushing aside the two guards at the door.
"Dad …Dad…Daaad." Terry yelled his father was dead. Terry moved in with his mom his brother knocked into him making him drop a box of his things. Terry picked up the picture of himself and his father feeling a disk stuck into the back. Terry looked at the disk on his laptop only making sense of some of it. Terry decided to take the disk to Bruce Wayne. Dana dropped Terry off at the gates to Wayne manor.
"Are you sure about this" Dana asked then her eyes widened as she stared at the top of the gate. Terry turned and saw what she was staring at. Rena stood atop the gates her arms folded staring at them.
"No problem it'll be fine I have to ask her dad something that's all." Dana frowned but nodded and drove off.
"Hey Rena you gonna let me in?" Terry shouted up at her Rena shook her head and pointed to the intercom on the side of the gate. "So I have to get the old man to let me in huh?" Rena nodded again she knew he was coming back and had told her father to be ready for him.
"Hey I've got something that you need to see, come on open the gate." Bruce didn't answer and the gate didn't open. Terry looked at Rena who shrugged and nodded again toward the intercom.
"Come on Wayne, Powers is doing something bad in your company!" Terry got angry and he kicked at the gates. "Your no batman you whacked out old fraud!" Terry heard a slight growl behind him and heard the gates open.
"Thanks for opening the gates Rena." Rena glared at him and turned.
"I didn't dad did and, don't call my father a whacked out old fraud or I'll sick Ace on you."
Ace came up to them and growled at Terry then walked calmly by Rena.
"Powers is making nerve gas using my company!" Rena tensed her eyes were lightening to silver but she kept herself rigidly in control the last thing she needed was to blow up the bat cave.
"So what are you going to do about it?" Terry asked. "Are you going to go there?"
"No you're going to take this to Commissioner Gordon."
"The cops what are they going to do they're in powers' pocket they wont do any thing." Rena stirred from the shadows where she had been mastering her temper.
"Commissioner Gordon is a good woman she isn't manipulated by anyone." Renie said cold fire flashing in her eyes.
"Still we can't go to the cops with this they wont do anything, Powers killed my dad." Terry ran an agitated hand through his hair.
"I'll do it I'll go stop Powers." Renie said and went to the case and opened the one of the batgirl costume she had made with secret help from her father.
"No your not going I wont allow it." Bruce said Renie growled quietly.
"You know I'm the best person for the job besides you, I know the company inside out."
Bruce shook his head frowning.
"No Renie you wont be doing this I forbid it." Renie glared at Bruce and gently closed the case and walked up the steps calmly to the house. As the door closed Bruce and Terry heard a deep rumbling sound around them and rocks fell from the ceiling and crashed to the ground away from the two of them.
"What was that?" Terry asked.
"Nothing go home now and take this to the police." Terry ran up the steps and left the manor angry and discouraged. When Terry was walking home Powers approached him and offered him a "ride" home.
"Let me offer you a ride home Terry." Powers said in that smooth oily voice of his.
"Sorry I don't take rides from strangers."
"Terry I'm hardly a stranger." Terry moved back a step and when he turned around Powers' body guard stood there.
Terry reached into his pocket and pulled out the disc.
"Let me guess this is what you want isn't it? Powers' body guard made a grab for the disc and Terry threw it into the river then turned and ran. The next day Terry went back into the Wayne house and took the bat suit he and Renie went to the Wayne Powers Company to take down powers.
