Chapter XXXIV: Remembrances IV.
Last Time.
"That was cheesy."
"Ah, you love it. Why I bet if I wasn't here you'd still get together with someone as corny as me."
"I doubt that." She replied as they got to a bridge with locks on it.
Getting to the middle, they saw a green lock near the top.
N&A
Naruto then smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
(Flashback.)
Gotham City May 29, 2013, 13:01 EDT.
Naruto in his suit looked as Artemis in her green gown walked to him and smiled before he put a ring on her finger and spoke in Vietnamese. "I Naruto Uzumaki accept you Artemis Crock as my wife and promise to stay faithful to you in good times and bad in sickness and in health to love and respect you every day of my life."
Artemis smiled as she put a ring on Naruto's ring finger and spoke in Vietnamese as well. "I Artemis Crock, take you Naruto Uzumaki as my husband and promise to be faithful to you in the good times and in the bad times in sickness and in health to love and respect you every day of my life."
They then kissed having the crowd clap.
(Flashback End.)
Naruto then kissed her before pulling back. "Let's get back, I'm sure Xiang is having your mother pull her hair out. She does take after her mom."
Artemis elbowed Naruto at that before they walked away, just as the moon shined on more locks.
N&T, N&J, N&D, N&D, N&C, N&M, N&Z
Now.
Hawaii June 15, 14:36 HST.
Naruto was walking on a beach with Crystal who had her watch on and a blue one-piece bathing suit on.
"Four years." She spoke up as he smiled.
"Yeah, time just flies by doesn't it?" He asked as they looked at the waves before kissing.
(Flashback.)
Hawaii June 15, 2015, 13:06 HST.
Naruto in a black suit with a dark blue shirt watched Crystal waking up in her white dress before picking up a ring.
"I believe in you Crystal, the person you will grow to be and the couple we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my wife, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person, my love, and my life, today and always."
He put the ring on her finger, having her smile before picking a ring up. "With all my heart, I Crystal take you Naruto to be my husband. I promise to be your lover, companion, and friend, your partner in parenthood, your ally in conflict, your greatest fan. I will be your comrade in adventure, your comfort in disappointment, your accomplice in mischief, your strength in times of need. I will listen with understanding and trust you completely. All the days of my life."
They then kissed having the group clap.
(Flashback End.)
Naruto and Crystal, now in a hotel room, still making out, pulled back from the kiss. "Ever think you'd be here? He asked, having her smirk.
"Ever since Jade told me how big you were."
Naruto sighed at that before he smiled at her before seeing a kid in a yellow shirt with Flash's and Kid's logo in red on the chest. He smiled solemnly at that before remembering the night the Team was formed.
(Flashback) (1.)
Washington, D.C. July 5, 2010, 00:01 EDT.
"Three days isn't so bad." Kid Flash said with a shrug before looking at Superboy. "Hey, Supey… How about you come home with me...?"
Central City, July 5, 05:17 CDT.
Kid was explaining the situation to his parents, still in costume with Superboy behind him.
His father is a Caucasian man with brown eyes and brown hair. He is slightly overweight and has a thick brown mustache under his nose.
His mother is a slightly plump Caucasian woman with green eyes like her son, and short slightly curled red hair.
After finishing, they allowed Superboy to stay for three days.
Central City July 7, 10:09 CDT.
"You like anything you see, Tuppence?" A teen boy asked in a thick American Southern accent. "Cuz you know I wanna keep my li'l sis happy."
He has blue eyes and blond hair, with one line shaved across his temples. He's wearing multiple earrings. He has a white shirt with the sleeves torn off, black pants with tears on the left thigh and right knee, boots, and red suspenders. He's wearing a padlock on a chain around his neck. He also has black fingerless gloves. He's also eating a burger.
"Tommy, you know darn well you're only three minutes older so quit babying me!" Tuppence yelled before taking a drink from her fast-food drink.
Tuppence has blonde hair just past her shoulders which she keeps in a ponytail and has two lines shaved across her temples. She uses excessive makeup, including purple lipstick, and has multiple earrings, one of which is a safety pin. She's wearing a white top and a black plaid skirt, held up by red suspenders. She has boots and torn stockings, and fingerless gloves that reach her elbows.
She stopped at a jewelry store and looked out the window. "But there are pretty bangles in here."
They walked in, just as Wally and Superboy who is wearing jeans and a plaid button shirt that was given to him by Wally's father so they could buy Superboy clothes after getting a gift card from Batman walked past the store.
"I don't like wearing your father's clothes."
"Doesn't thrill me either, but the solar suit had to go," Wally said before stopping at a clothing store. "Besides dude… That's what we're here to fix."
Gotham City July 7, 11:11 EDT.
Dick wearing a blue shirt, was sitting at a long table, head resting on his hands. "Bruce has been down in the Batcave forever. I can't tell if he's working on sanctioning our team… Or squashing it."
"I believe master Dick," Dick turned to a butler holding a tray. "That the Batman asked for three days..."
He is a slim Caucasian male, with gray hair and a mustache. He's wearing a three-piece suit, a black jacket, a maroon vest, and a white long-sleeved shirt with a black tie.
"Demand is more like it. And it's been almost two and a half!" Dick argued as Alfred turned to walk away.
"When master Bruce says three… He means three."
Central City July 7, 10:14 CDT.
Wally used the gift card as Superboy bought a whole rack of black shirts with Superman's logo on them in red as well as multiple jeans.
Suddenly, they heard glass breaking before Wally picked two bandannas by the cash register. "We'll also take these, we'll be right back for the rest."
Going outside, they saw the Terror Twins attacking security guards before Wally put his on as Superboy jumped to catch a guard who was thrown off the 2nd floor,
"Nice catch." Wally sped down and covered Superboy's face before explaining they can't get caught again.
The Twins took the people around them as hostages before Wally tackled Tommy and Superboy punched Tuppence into a pillar, cracking it. "Son, you sure pack a wallop."
"Lady, I'm not your son," Superboy said, running for another punch.
Tuppence easily caught it before smiling. "And I ain't no lady."
She then punched him across the mall, revealing she also had super strength as Tommy tried to hit Wally who dodged having him fall from his momentum.
"Big mistake pissant!" Tuppence yelled diving to the speedster.
Only for Wally to lean back and flip off the rail to grab it, having her fall down as well.
Superboy was punched through the wall by Tommy into a car as Wally baited them outside. Only to gain scared looks. "Dang it Tup! I ain't sure we're ready for them yet!"
"Nah, Tom. Definitely a better part of the valor moment." Tuppence replied before they bound away.
"Did we scare them off?" Wally asked, looking at the retreating forms of the twins.
"Should we go after them?" Superboy asked, sitting up.
"No, you shouldn't. And no, you didn't."
"Bust-ted," Wally said, looking to see both Flash and Superman behind them.
Superman flew after the teens as Flash looked to the others. "Three days. You couldn't stay out of trouble for three days... Go home, get a good night's sleep. I'll pick you both up first thing in the morning. Batman's made his decision."
(Flashback End.)
Naruto was brought out of his thoughts as Crystal pulled him to the bed and pulled the top of her suit down.
The next morning, Naruto saw a report about Batman before seeing him on a rooftop behind the reporter with Orphan.
(Flashback) (2.)
Gotham City June 27, 2018, 21:17 EDT.
In Wayne, Naruto wearing a black button shirt with jeans stood beside Bruce and Alfred as they looked at a woman in front of them holding a bag with a joy buzzer.
She's an Asian-American woman with brown eyes and long black hair in a high-set ponytail. She's wearing a red jacket with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, long loose-fitting gray pants, and black shoes. Underneath her jacket, she wears a black short-sleeved t-shirt. (3.)
"The perps used some kind of simple buzzer to fry the alarm system." She said as Naruto sighed remembering getting a call from Alfred that burglars robbed the Manor somehow.
"That a fact Detective Yin? We gotta get new security." Bruce said, putting his hands in his pockets. "I'm sure they just forgot to upgrade something. No one's tried robbing the place since I was a kid."
"And where were you during the break-in?" The detective asked Naruto.
"Practicing my forehand volley," Naruto replied, remembering using a hockey stick on a group of robbers in a sporting goods store at dusk.
"Is that something you do late at night?"
"Bruce is a night owl. But he didn't go far tonight. By the time they called me, the robbers were arrested."
"Yes, Mr. Pennyworth said an unknown officer captured the perps. There's only one problem. He's not a member of the police department." Ellen explained as Bruce picked up a picture of him as a kid with his parents.
"I hope you find the man. Not only are the jewels they took worth millions… They belonged to my mother." He said looking at the gold necklace his mother wore.
Later that night, Naruto, wearing a black coat and jeans, walked up to a group of thugs beside a Caucasian woman with blonde hair, green eyes, and had a matchstick in her mouth. She's wearing a trench coat over a red shirt and black boots.
"They say that the boss is taking meetings tonight at the Chortle Portal." She said as Naruto remembered looking over evidence and hearing rumors that one man was hiring thugs off the street to rob houses the same way they did to Bruce's. "And he's paying serious money to new recruits. You in?"
"Sold," Naruto said in a deeper voice. "Where do I go to break off my piece?"
A tall muscular guy grabbed his shoulder from behind at that. "You ain't going nowhere, new guy. Understand?"
Crack!
Naruto brought his fist up without looking and hit the man in the nose, having him stumble back "You better get that nose looked at, understand?"
"You're definitely in. Let's go." The woman said having them walk in as a car pulled up on the other side of the street before the window rolled down.
"This is Yin. They're on the move."
Inside, a waitress took them to a table where a tall menu hid the person behind it. "Excuse me, Mr. Kard… Some people are here to see you." She said as a comedian was on stage.
"3,794 items on the menu and still no potato skins. Great." The man said as he reached out with his right hand that Naruto grabbed when seeing the chalk-white skin before dodging a pie that hit the man who grabbed him having the man grin before falling over.
"FREEZE! GOTHAM PD!"
Yin ran in holding her badge and gun as Joker brought out a button, pressed it, and had a disco ball lower before lasers shot out of it. "Time for Joker's Laser Light Show! Don't be shy ladies and gentlemen! Get your cha-cha on!"
Yin dived forward and shot the ball as Joker ran out the back. "I want that back-up now. The crime scene is secure but the Joker's on the loose!"
Outside, Joker stopped near the exit of the alleyway. "Oh well, that's show-biz. Besides, disco is dead!"
"Head's up Joker!"
Joker looked up and saw Kage who dropped down and elbowed him in the face to the ground. "You deserve worse for what happened to Batgirl." Naruto pulled Joker up and pulled off Martha's gold necklace he had on.
"That (Grunt!) wasn't me!" He grunted out as Naruto held him up.
"You were the target," Naruto replied before headbutting him, knocking him out as Batman, and Orphan dropped down. She stared at the clown before feeling a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Naruto looking at her. "You alright?" He asked, handing Batman the necklace as she looked down again. "I know it was an accident… At least it woke you up and brought you over to our side."
He smiled under his mask as she looked back up and nodded before they walked off.
(Flashback End.)
Naruto turned the TV off as he felt Crystal wrap her arms around him and kissed his neck.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Chaos-PSD.
1. last issue I didn't use from the tie-in comic that showed what Kaldur, Robin, Wally, and Superboy did during the three-day skip after Cadmus-Mt Justice.
2. Issue of the tie-in comic for The Batman 2004 show "The Batman Strikes!"
3. She's Ellen Yin from the first 2 seasons of The Batman when looking for something to make this Ch longer I came across the aforementioned Issues and saw she was in it. A picture will be on my profile.
And while on the subject I hated they got rid of her after s2... Yeah, she was in six issues of the tie-in that take place in s3-5 (As they had Batgirl and later Robin in them) But I did really like the concept of a just starting out Batman who has one police officer helping him out.
Of course, that's because I grew up on a Batman who's in his prime with the DCAU and like seeing a Batman just starting. That was something I actually liked about Beware the Batman. And same for Spider-Man, every show, and movie I grew up on had him at college at the youngest (Or skips to that after getting powers like the movies before the '12 one).
So seeing him as a high school student for Spectacular and the Ultimate TV show I liked as I didn't grow up with Spider-Man as a teen. (Just pointing that out as the older family and fans online didn't like that about Spectacular and later on for Ultimate and that they were tired of teen Spider-Man)
Next to be updated will be Ninja In The Web
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
