Chapter 2: Life

I woke up, mouth dry and feeling groggy as usual in these days. The one called Ra's Al Ghul talks kept flashing in my mind.

Flashback….

"Listen child, nothing ever goes as planned in this world of ours. It's accursed, corrupt, and serves our inner dark instincts. Sooner or later, you're going to realize that this world does not protect those who seek true justice. As long as this world lives on, injustice will always continue on."

Sometimes these flashbacks come and go and I feel like I want to take those words at heart. Usually, whenever I awake at this time the flash backs occur in an attosecond. So, to divert my attention away, I always go to my bookshelf, pick whatever book I'm currently reading, and keep to myself. Right now, I'm currently reading H.P. Lovecraft famous book on Cthulhu. I enjoy mysterious things like this. Anomalous creatures that we cannot see yet let our imagination come to fruition. To me, that is true horror.

Door opens and Ra's al Ghul enters my room.

"Still reading, huh…" he said while eying my room as if there was anything wrong with it. For the record, this is a first time he's done this.

"You are good boy for keeping up on your reading. Training will be canceled today so rest up and make way for a new tomorrow." He said with glee and as he was about to exit, I called to him and he turned back to look at me.

"Why do I feel this way?"

"Feel what?"

"Like coldness and obsession to kill. Yet at the same time, I hide it like a tame coward waiting to burst like a monster."

Ra's eyes stared only at the floor and then back at me.

"You will be my successor what others have not done." He said to me and left my room.

I don't know why? But something about him makes me feel wanting to seek revenge and kill the one that did this to me, but why? Why do I feel this way?

Then an image of a woman appeared in my mind. I don't know who she was.

Flashback….

"This is my daughter, Talia Al Ghul, she will train you in the ways of the arts of League of Assassins." Said Ra's Al Ghul

I don't know how to respond to this. Training? League of Assassins? But mostly where the fuck am I? And who the hell are these people?

I sprinted all the way to the door until one of the ninjas sprayed me a gas to put me out, and that's all I remember.

3 WEEKS LATER…

"All that training, and he' s still alive.' Said Ra's Al Ghul, astonished

"His abilities make him aggressive, father." Said Talia

Ra's was now confused "Aggressive?"

"Every time he fights. He breaks every men's arms and legs." Talia stated

Ra's was now pleased at this new trainer ever since his last encounter with the dark knight things have been slowed down with this operation to rule Gotham. He hadn't returned Gotham for about 2 years and he plans to strike it. As soon as he looks at his new trainer in the field, he is wearing a red mask. There was something about the mask that made Ra's feel a bit powerful through this boy's mask. He doesn't know what it was? But it felt good.

"Something wrong, father?" His daughter asked

"Nothing, my dear. Just keep doing what you're doing?"

Suddenly the new trainer begins to go on a killing spree. He pulls a knife, and starts slicing each ninja's throats as each of them try to attack him. Ra's was surprised by this that he took every men's life, but it felt good.

He clapped honorably and walks to the field.

"You've done well. I'm very pleased that you've completed your task." He commented, but the trainer didn't respond.

"I have a task for you." He begins putting his hand on the trainer

"You will go to Gotham, and kill the one known as…. Batman." Ra's ordered with glee.

I took the order without fault. I MUST KILL HIM.
