Many times the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.


Just Because

SPOILER WARNING FOR CHAPTER 404 OF FAIRY TAIL! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Everyone watched in shock and awe as Erza Scarlet pushed her opponent back. Despite having all five off her senses stripped from her by Tartarus's Kyouka, the knight mage still managed to not only get up and fight, but also was on the verge of victory. It was a shocking and unbelievable sight.

"This is impossible…" The demon Kyouka's jaw was dropped. "I sealed all five or your senses. And on top of that, my magical powers have increased your sensitivity to pain to its absolute maximum."

Erza's response was to kick Kyouka in the stomach.

"Bwah!" Kyouka cried out in pain. Her pain had nothing on Erza's pain, however.

"You shouldn't be able to see me! Let alone hear my voice!" Kyouka yelled. "So how do you know where I am?!"

"The only possible explanation is it's some sort of sixth sense…" Lily the catlike Exceed mentioned.

"Are you saying that with all five of her senses robbed, some other form of perception awakened?" Lector questioned.

Frosh was confused.

"No, I think the eplanation is much simplier." Happy mentioned. "It's because she's Batman."

"…What?" Minerva stared at the blue cat.

"Isn't it obvious?" Happy questioned. "She does the impossible without any explanation as to how. She's an unstoppable badass, and she's a favorite of the fans."

"What was that last one?" Lily questioned.

"She's a favorite to win the fight." Happy stated simply.

"Oh…okay…" Lily muttered.

"You're so stupid!" Minerva cried out. "There's no way that Erza's Batman! She's not a man!"

"That's sexist!" Happy yelled. "It's obvious that Erza calls herself BatMAN to trick her enemies. Plus, have you ever seen Erza and Batman in the same place!? Because I haven't!"

"He makes an excellent argument…" Lily noted.

"It makes total sense!" Lector shouted.

"Frosh agrees!" Guess who said that…

"Cat's are stupid…" Miverva shook her head.


(Later in Gotham City after the crap with Tartarus was settled…)

"Busy night, ma'am?" Alfred questioned as Batman jumped out of the Batmobile.

"Yes, I had to establish that my secret identity and I were different people." Batman pulled off his cowl and walked to the Batcomputer. Red locks fell down his shoulders. As he sat down, he pressed a button on his wrist and his muscles deflated.

"And how did could you pull that off?" The old butler questioned.

"Because I'm me." Erza stated simply.

"You know, it's things like that which makes people question your identity…" Alfred sighed.

"No, the only reason people question my identity is because Happy won't shut up about it…" Erza sighed. "I'm going to need to bribe him with some fish in order to keep him quiet."

"Are you sure that's necessary?" Alfred questioned. "Your secret identity is pretty well protected after all…"

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Erza nodded to herself.

"If you say so, ma'am…" Alfred sighed. "Does this mean you're going back to the guild tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have an image to keep up, after all…" Erza noted. "I need to make sure that Natsu and Grey don't do anything too stupid…"

Her life was a difficult one. Protecting Gotham was one thing, but keeping Fairy Tail out of trouble…That was impossible. But she could pull it off.

After all, she was Batman…er, Erza…Same difference…


This is the first thing that popped into my head after Erza defied the laws of logic...and reality...And the explanation, "Because she's Erza"... I immediately thought of How It Should Have Ended..."BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!"

Thank you all for reading and please remember to…
