BATMAN BEYOND REVISITED
EPISODE:
ARE YOU THERE?
"I swear, I wasn't just imagining it."
"Jake, just as I was starting to somewhat respect you, you come to me with fairy tails." Dick said as he worked on his files.
I clenched my fists and felt anger overwhelm me, but I managed to keep myself together.
"I know you believe me. You said you didn't believe Charlie exists, but I heard the doubt in your voice."
"You heard me wrong, then."
I sighed, not really surprised he'd be so stubborn about this.
From what I heard, the original Batman was grounded in reality.
Not surprising he'd teach his pupils to be the same way.
"I guess I'll just have to see for myself."
I went up into the mansion and into my room, bugging the room with cameras and mics, leaving the suit on so I can hand over the evidence gathered to the police... if any, that is.
"All right, guess I need to call on Charlie myself."
I laid down a piece of paper on a table and drew a huge plus on it, placing two pencils on the paper, the bottom one horizontally, the other vertically.
On the paper, in each corner was a 'Yes' or a 'No', with the yes's being in the bottom right and top left and the no's in the upper right and bottom left corners.
"Here goes nothing...
Charlie Charlie, are you there?"
I sat there for a short while, waiting for the pencil to move.
I repeated the question when nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Until I started to get up and turn off the cameras.
"What the?" I asked as one of the pencils moved to 'Yes'
I felt a chill in the air and my stomach felt like a bottomless pit.
I sat back at the table.
"Charlie Charlie, did you kill those people? My friend's friend, teacher, and the two teenage girls?"
The pencil did a complete 180 and pointed at the other yes column.
"Thanks. I'm done here. That's enough evidence."
I broke the pencils and threw the paper away.
What I didn't notice before I did that was the pencil turned to a 'No' column as soon as I said I was done.
I turned off the mics and was just about to turn off the cameras, but then the room turned red.
It felt cold.
Cold as ice.
A wind was blowing...
A wind was blowing indoors...
"What's going on here?"
"I WARNED YOU!"
I heard a... transparent voice say?
How can a voice be transparent?
I looked behind me and I saw a...
"...Ghost."
The spirit screamed.
"DON'T CALL ME A GHOST!"
"Um, okay..."
"I WARNED YOU! I WARNED YOU!"
His voice was raspy.
And on the topic of describing him, his clothes were tattered.
He was wearing a white tuxedo, stained in red.
Almost all of the skin on his face is missing.
He was wearing a torn up glove on his right hand, his other hand missing.
He also had dark, though very transparent, skin.
He has red eyes and a red glow surrounded him.
"Yeah, you warned me, but it's my job to not let the wrong person go to jail, so..."
"NO! YOU HAVE DISRUPTED MY VERY SOUL! THE ONLY WAY TO END THIS DISTURBANCE IS TO KILL YOU!"
"I'd rather not die, thanks."
"YOUR SOUL WILL BE TORN APART! LIKE MINE WAS!"
"Geeze, do you ever shut up?"
"LAUGH NOW, BUT I WILL KILL YOU, VANCE! AND THEN YOUR FRIENDS!"
