Henry Stickmin moves into Gotham city, and he's ready to steal whatever valuable around the city and get rich. But of course, Henry runs into trouble with the dark knight and other villains in Gotham.

5. Chapter 5

At Henry's motel room, he began to put his loot into the bag as he was ready to leave Gotham, not wanting to be caught by Batman or the Penguin. He rushed out of the motel room and headed to a sky-blue 1970 Chevy Nova that he recently purchased with his newfound money. Henry got into the car and thought.

"I heard the Caribbean was nice this time of year."

Henry was about to back out of his parking space when he heard a thump on top of the car's roof. Henry got out of the car and looked to see the Dark Knight himself in his car, and Henry was speechless.

"Going somewhere, Henry?" said Batman.

"H-how did you know my name?" said Henry.

"I learned from records that you are already wanted for breaking into a prison in Montana."

"You know, that place wasn't to my liking, ha."

"Then you're not going to like Gotham Jail then."

Henry quickly went to his bag; he pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it at Batman. He dodged it and exploded behind him, but Henry took off, and he went after him. Henry turned into the alleyway and saw Batman on his tail, so he pulled out a random gadget. It was a grappling hook. He quickly shoots at a building right across from the alleyway. Henry took off from the ground and zipped across the air, and he barely made it to the roof. Batman pulled out his own grappling hook and went to the building that Henry was in.

Henry kept running, even jumping across the rooftop. Still, Batman was relentless in the chase, catching up with him until he stopped at a building that was next to a road.

"Give up, Henry, it's over," said Batman.

Henry looked to see a mattress truck turning around the corner. "I think not,"

Henry jumped off the ledge and landed on the mattress as he saw an annoyed look on Batman's face.

"This isn't over by a longshot," Batman thought.

Later, Henry got out of the mattress truck and tried to think of another way out of the city. Until a green van pulled up to Henry.

"What the hell?" Henry thought.

Then guys in black ski masks came out of the van, and one of them had a bat in his hand. Before Henry could say anything, the one with the bat hit Henry in the head, knocking him out. The man took Henry and his bag into the van, and it drove off from the scene.
