Naruto will still be a bad-ass that I had in my first story, but not for some time. I feel that it was too rushed and not enough time was spent setting him up. Sorry that this took so long to do but I wanted to do a Halloween special for Halloween for this story. However, issues have happened so I can only give you part of the chapter. But I hope that you all have had a great holiday. Enjoy
Robin spat out a tooth and blood as he got up slowly. He groaned as he felt the injures that were afflicted on him flare up and settled back down.
"Dam you Fox!" He roared/choked as he watched though blurry eyes as a figure got away. For the past several weeks criminals were curb-stomping him and Batman and he was tired of it. Robin's blood boiled at the humiliation that he was put under trying to deal with his rival and possible arch nemesis. Quickly, though painfully, he rolled off to the side to avoid being mashed by his mentor as he was blasted from a room five stories up.
"Come on batsy~ Your slipping up on little old me." 'Harley Quinn,' Thought Robin as the crazy psychiatrist yelled from the opening. "Oh well, these shiny new fresh off the print bills aren't going to save themselves you know. I think I may take some as the security here sucks like you and the boy wonder!"
Batman growled/groaned as Harley disappeared into the night. The duo's misery only increased as the clouds opened up, drenching them in the downpour of ice cold rain. In the past, Robin and Batman could take on villains with little trouble and if the villain got away, they would be prepared fro the next time they met. Now times had changed for Gotham, and the duo were finding themselves outpaced.
"We're heading home." Robin stared at his mentor and said nothing. After all, there was nothing to be said between the two as they got up.
...
"You know they are going to be more angry and determined to catch us now Foxy~" Harley noted as she and her adopted nephew fled the scene of the crime. She was surprised that his most recent plan worked and ended with the heroes on their backs defeated. For being a villain only after several years of training by herself, Ivy and his mother Cat woman, Naruto had shown himself to be a powerhouse.
Naruto grinned at the praise. He love it when he made his family proud of him. A tinge of a memory of desire for praise from anyone whisked into his mind, but he ignored it for now. It wasn't a good time to get stuck in the past. Not when he had to get ready for school in the morning. "Thanks Harley, think that this will be enough cash for us?"
"Dear, we have nearly four times needed." The woman filliped over a gate and Naruto quickly followed her into the building.
'Home sweet home.' He thought as he looked around. It wasn't pretty, but it was home. Plants were everywhere of various origin, but arranged in ways that made the room more warm and not crowed. Pillars of ice in each corner helped support the roof and light reflected from the ice to add to the visibility of the place. Several cats wandered in at out from openings or sat down near several ponds that he had built, trying to get to the fish inside. taking off his shoes, Naruto signed in pleasure as his feet touched the grass that covered the floor.
"Hey honey how was the job?" Naruto grinned as his aunt waved from her seat.
"It was great aunt Ivy," Naruto walked over to his favorite aunt and gave her a kiss. "Batman and Robin were a peace of cake again."
Ivy grinned and rubbed his hair in affection. "No powers again?"
"Nope. I want to keep it old school with Robin for now. I heard that he's going away and I made sure to give him an extra hard time and a few bruises to remember me by. Anything from Luther yet? I want to know the results from the test he ran on me and my payment."
"No need Naruto. For such a client like yourself I am a man of my word and my promises." Naruto rolled his eyes as Lex Luthor stepped out from behind a pillar. "I am however surprised on the payment that you requested. I would have thought that someone with your upbringing would ask for a nature preserve to be set up or perhaps a rare artifact that you and your mothers are looking for."
"What can I say. It's a chance that I may never get again from you Lex unless I give you something of even greater value." Grinning the two males shook their hands. "So what brings you all the way here to our little home away from the loony bin?"
"Just wanted to see if my benefactor was still being well. Also I have the results of that blood work you asked me to take and I admit it is interesting." Luthor handed Naruto a file and straighten his tie. "The project is now under the works fully and completely. I do admit, this plan of yours seems a bit unusually and unorthodox for me and several of the others but we are with you."
"For now you are Luthor." Naruto stated as he read the file. "You and I both know that as long as humanity is trapped behind the ideals of the past and the constraints of the justice league the human race will never evolve into what it needs to be to survive the future. Ral Gul and his daughter agree as does those who are more educated then the average person. It is a shame that the plan has taken so long and that we are all are now reduced to time keepers but that is the price to pay. How is project Kr?"
"Proceeding as planned. Soon the young members of the hero community will rebel against their mentors like you said and the stage is set for them to find him."
"Good. How long until until Wolf and Vixen are ready for action?"
"Give or take a month. Just in time for the new school year. But thus, I must leave. There is a charity event tomorrow ans I need to make my donation and the old S still thinks I'm up to something."
Chucking, Naruto waved him off. "Of course he does. Psychological warfare is not the man's strength after all." Laughing, Luthor walked out of the building and Naruto opened the folder and began to scan it over. An evil and dangerous grin spread across his face. "After all Lexy, for all your smarts, you have yet to understand the need ... No, the true meaning of what it means to want something so badly and yet lose even if it means your life is forfeit. You and the rest of your kind are weak, pathetic creatures who have yet to understand the meaning of power."
Retreating to his room, Naruto ideally scratched the head of Isis and gave his aunt a wave. Ivy rolled her eyes as her nephew left but watched as his bedroom door closed with concerned and interest.
Dick Grayson looked at the chess board as his foe made his move. With a frown, he tried to come up with a solution that would get him out of position that he was forced into. Finding none, he tipped his king. Reaching out his hand he spoke to his opponent. "I lost. Good game Naruto."
"It was a pleasure Dick. Perhaps another game at your place sometimes?" Naruto said as he shook his friends hand. Dick nodded for a yes. Seeing him nod, Naruto let go of his friends hand and walked away, with his fan club trailing behind. Dick watched as The girls pestered the blonde for dates or help for things any buddy could do.
Barbara Gorden walked over and looked over the board and gave a low whistle. "Wow Dick, Naruto did a number one you this match."
Dick rubbed his head as he cleaned up. "Yeah but I thought I could beat him this time. He was playing the chess team ace, the principle, and me all at the same time, one on one. And he still beat us all. The Principle lost in the first two minutes, the ace in five..."
"And you in ten. Maybe next time you should next time do timed matches." Barbara brushed back her hair as she looked over the board. She winced when she noticed how close Dick was to losing and no matter what he did, he lost.
"It's possible. But every time he plays, I can never seem to beat him. I mean, he's perfect. It's scary how perfect he is."
Barbara was interested on how Dick could think of Naruto like that. "Oh?"
"Naruto is the ace of the swim team, the best basket ball player, the one that usually ends up as the main male lead actor in the theater club, on the debate club, head of the student council." Dick listed off. "And in his spare time he tutors students in math, history, economics, biology, chemistry, physics, English, and runs the after school track team, while also being a member. To top it all off, he is the number one student here."
"Not to mention all the attention he gets from both the girls and guys." Barbara pointed out as Naruto went around the corner, his fan club following. "So what are you doing after school?"
"Try to get Alfred to help me see what I did wrong. Maybe I could get Naruto to play him or Bruce. They are better chess players, so they may beat him."
"Perhaps." Barbara and Dick walked away from each other as they went their separate ways.
...
Naruto was the best and he knew he couldn't let that go to his head. Too many heroes and villains were undone by their egos and their ambitions to see the truth. Like the emperor in Star Wars. The Jedi were blind and in their blindness, the shadows over took them. They were comfortable in their victory of the Sith for over a thousand years and none of them even thought that they should prepare for the next challenge. Too many nations in history suffered the same fate, as they grew too powerful to think that they could be challenged and now it was time for a shift in the world order. The justice league was strong, but they only worked with what they knew and countered their foes only with what they knew about them and themselves. But what if that were a lie? In his observations, naruto concluded that the world needed to change. Change that only could be achieve though the fires of conflict and healing though the battle field. The lords of Order and Chaos were but parts in the grand plan, a plan that Naruto knew though Fox could be set straight.
'Peace is a lie, for peace is made though the suffering of the many so the few can remain strong. Case in point, the ending of the first world war.' Naruto concluded as he read a more radical version of the ending of the first world war. 'After all, who were the true victims in the conflict? At the end? Both sides wanted the war and many that fought wanted to end it before Christmas, but the passions of the ones in charge prevented such an end...' "Oof!"
Hitting the ground hard, Naruto shook his head and looked to see whom it was he collided into. "Oh, sorry Barbra, I didn't see you."
"It's fine Naruto." Smiling Naruto helped his fellow schoolmate up from the ground after filliping onto his feet. Barbara blushed as she saw his abs and his smooth flesh. Gulping she tried to contain herself as she was trained but images kept creeping into her mind. Of Naruto to and Her. Alone... 'Cool it girl!'
"So you doing anything for Halloween this year?" Naruto knew what he was going to do. Or at least what Fox had planned for the night time fun in crime in the sprite of Halloween.
"I'm hoping to go to a party dressed as bat girl." Blinking, Barbara paled slightly at the slip up of her alter ego but her color returned as no one would think twice because of it. Biting her lip she looked Naruto over. She felt hot and bothered all of a sudden and for the life of her she couldn't understand it. She knew that he had a crush on her fellow blonde student but she never really thought herself worthy of his attention. Not when he could have any girl he wanted in the school, hell he even had collage girls fallowing him.
Naruto smirked under his mask of calm that he presented to the world as Barbara started to pant slightly. It was clear that she was going into heat after getting a full dose of his pheromones. While he disliked using it, he had no control over when it increased and who it affected. His aunt was helping him, but it was still easy for him to slip up if he let his guard down. The last time he majorly slipped up was when he was new to the school. Shivering in fear from the horde of fangirls that gave chase to him that day his speed impressed the coach for the track team. So that lead him on to become the best school athlete in history and also honor student for the school.
Well, he denied it as he was sure that there were those who earned it more them him. But that lead him into becoming the student President of the whole school.
"Well I think you would look amazing as a bat girl."
Barbara blushed and felt a shiver travel though her body at the comment he gave her. Gathering her courage as Naruto started to turn away she blurted out, "Will you be my date to the party!?"
Naruto blinked in surprise as his schoolmate looked at him with pleading eyes. Looking behind her he could see one Dick Grayson staring in horror as he looked on the scene. In the span of several seconds he tied to think of ways to turn her down, but the idea of hurting a girl and friends vs his plans to be a villain... 'Dammit it all to hell.' "I-I'm flattered but-?"
"You don't have a costume? Don't worry, you can be the thug I, the bat girl, caught. Thanks Naruto see you at my my place at seven, K?"
Naruto nodded slowly as Barbara skipped away. Grayson had ducked into a locker to avoid being seen by his friend and Naruto knew that he would confront him. His prankster side tingling, he walked over to the locker. getting close he called out to the girl. "So does it matter what I look like?"
"NO! As long as it's party appropriate and someone that I could beat up I don't care!" She called at the end of the hall. Nodding his head he reached out and shut the locker closed.
'That takes care of him.' Whistling as the bell rang and the students all raced to leave the building, Naruto idly wondered what his mother would say.
"You look great my little kit." Naruto groaned and blushed under the eyes of his adopted mother and aunts. Sniffling, Selina swiped a tear from her eye. "My baby boy is going on his first date."
"Mom, it's just a party!" Naruto said as he tugged on the bandana around his head. Growling he looked at the smiling faces of the three women around him. "I wanted to go do a Halloween crime with you three tonight."
"Sorry honey but me and Bruce have a date tonight so I can't unless he wants to go be the bat again." Selina spat out the word Bruce like one would poison.
"As for me and Harley, we need to stay low after the stunt you did several days ago. However, the plan that you set up is still going forward. version 3.B6 as you had planed for this nephew."
Naruto grumbled and nodded. It wasn't really something that he like to have happen as tonight was going to be a masterpiece that he had been working on. Version 3.B6 was if something happened before the start and the rest of the members of the plan could react accordingly. The B stood for if he had to be a buddy for someone for a party. The six was the person that was most likely to ask him. When he had told the group the letter and number he was upset to learn that he was put in a betting pool on who would ask him out.
Pulling her son into a hug, Cat women let him out of the car. "Have fun, be safe and remember sweets about what Halloween is about."
"The tricks and the treats." Walking towards the door of the Gordan residence he could hear the sound of his family laughing as they drove off. Before he could knock he was greeted by the sight of Mr. Gordan racing out yelling into his phone.
"WELL SEE HERE!- NO I DO NOT WANT THEM SENT!"
'Man he has such a hard job,' Naruto thought as he felt a twinge of pity for the man. That was until the man shoved passed him and called him a ruffian. Growling, naruto controlled his temper as got up. Reaching the door he gave it three knocks and waited.
He didn't wait long.
"Well? what do you think?" Naruto's mouth unhinged as he looked at his 'date.' She was wearing her bat girl uniform spare, not that she believe naruto knew, but with a fake belt and without her mask. She nibbled on her lips a little as she twisted her body to show off her curves and just to show off. She was pleased to see that her date was struggling to hide his forming boner and keep his manners. Feeling a little naughtily she swayed up to him and pushed her breasts close together. "If you surrender to me I may let you see what my girls are made of."
Naruto blushed red as he tried to look away. "Only if you can beat me bat girl."
"Is that a challenge?" Barbara purred as she played with his shirt. "I bet that you are dying to be in my cuffs tonight."
Grabbing her hips Naruto smirked as his date blushed as well. "Well it seems that the girl needs to be remained that she is only human." He stated before giving her a kiss. Soon the duo were inside with all thoughts of the party forgotten as the duo went at it so see if the 'villain' could best the 'hero.'
All the while, bat girl's com blinked with an urgent light.
Hope that you all enjoyed.
See ya
