I don't own Batman.
Chapter 1
"This is Vicki Vale with exciting news! The Gotham's museum is bringing an opening for it's the greatest discovery that we have ever seen." The camera motion behind her that Gotham national Museum being celebrated with a banner called Egyptian exhibited.
"The team of archaeologists and adventurers came from big cities to Egypt with such an amazing treasure to share the world. Now they seem excited to be a sponsor by Bruce Wayne himself! Here he is now. Mr. Wayne, how does it feel to be this part of the exhibit?"
She used her microphone to hear the statement of Gotham's most eligible Bachler.
"Well, I got to say that I could use a little excitement and I am glad that I had sponsored this great charity to the museum. Gotham could use a good history to make us remember whose example we are following."
"And by example, do you mean you, Mr. Wayne?"
"I would just say, 'Kids, don't waste all your lunch money."
Everyone laughed at his jest.
Cameras flashes. Everyone from the highest society and even the lowest who came to see the grand opening.
Everyone is getting excited to see what history that was hidden beneath their eyes.
Professor James Eddison couldn't stop smiling and shaking every guests' hands. He has finally done what he came to do. Finding a history that no one has found before. Now he could retire and return as a professor at the university.
'Finally,' He opened his pocket watch. Saw a beautiful lady that looks to be in her twenties. 'Now you can rest in peace.'
"Professor Eddison!" He turned as he closed his pocket watch and was greeted by Bruce Wayne.
"Mr. Wayne, I am glad you could make it tonight." He went and greeted the man who supported his project.
"Well, I gave the company workers half-day off since I heard that you brought something back from Egypt." He commented. "I gotta say, I look forward to your great surprise."
"So, do I Mr. Wayne." Another person waved to Professor Eddison to give an announcement.
"Excuse me, Mr. Wayne. I believe it is time for opening. Enjoy your night," He left to give his open night speech.
Bruce Wayne went and mingle with the guest. As always, the ladies wanted him to date or a one-night stand.
The sound of the microphone is sounded in the museum.
"Ahem! Excuse me, we are ready to begin the announcement. Now, we have a piece of exciting news that we came from Egypt a hidden tomb of the Pharaohs!" Everyone cheers and claps at his announcement.
"Now I could go on and on about history, but I believe that she will explain it to you. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to the loss. Her name was Princess Nefertiti Cleopatra of Egypt!"
The crowd applause as he waves the curtains reveals the tomb and casket. It sounded out with 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs'.
"As you may know that 5000 years ago, during the reign of her older half-siblings of Thutmose II and Hatshepsut were promised by their father King Thutmose I that Hatshepsut would inherit his throne upon his death. Only by marriage, she marries her half-brother from a secondary wife. However, when Princess Nefertiti Cleopatra has conspired herself with black magic that could destroy the world. Nefertiti summoned the Apophis the Great Serpent, an enemy of the sun god Ra. Thutmose II was discovered by his priest and loyal advisors of his and arrested her for treason and blasphemy by their Gods. She was mummified alive. They performed the Hom-Dai. It is a curse that was so ancient. Its malediction was created by the ancient high priests of Egypt as a punishment reserved for blasphemers. It is described as "the worst of all ancient Egyptian curses. One so horrible, it had never before been bestowed."
The people whisper and muttered. Bruce is suspended as if the curse could happen anytime.
The professor smiled and said, "Well, I would say that Gotham would not even bother with Hom-Dai as lovely weather."
Everyone laughed as the tension was gone away.
"I will not keep you from seeing Egypt and the princess waiting. One of the times, please enter."
Everyone claps and slowly walked to the section of the Egypt hallway.
Bruce enters and sees full of ancient writings. The treasure that was given to the pharaohs when they die.
He stared at the casket where the mummy princess is inside. He noticed something off. Drips were on the floor that smells like something is boiling.
'I need a closer look.'
His detective skills won him over.
"Mr. Wayne," Professor looked over concern at why is getting close to his discovery.
"Sorry, it would seem that my watch slips over, and wanted to reach for it."
Professor James looks suspicious but saw Bruce's watch where the casket is. He shrugged it off.
"No worries, I will get it for you." He reaches down and got the watch. "I would suggest getting the wrist chain fix. Trust me, my wife used to scold me to get it to fix."
"Thank you," Bruce said. "I admit that I am impressed. Never thought that Egyptian would do such a gruesome thing to royal families."
The professor nodded. "Yes. I was surprised that a priestess like herself would stoop so low to take over the world as the legends would say."
Bruce nodded. Gave a fake yawned. "Excuse me, but it would seem that I would be drop dead if I don't get my sleep."
"Oh! Of course, thank you for showing up here."
Bruce shakes his hands and walked out the door.
Alfred Pennyworth opens the door as Bruce enters.
They were driving back to Wayne Manor.
"I trust that your money for the charity event was well used." His butler commented.
"Yes, but" He pulls out a vial with the silver liquid. "I have a feeling there's more to the exhibit."
Back to the Batcave.
Bats squeaks and wings flappy in the air.
The computer is scanning the vial liquid.
Resulted: Mercury
Bruce seemed confused by this.
"Why was a mummy casket filled with mercury?" he questions himself.
Alfred saw the computer and decided to indulge master Wayne.
"Well, sir. If I may, mercury was the only thing to use against evil spirits."
Bruce looked surprised.
"How did you know?"
Alfred chuckles, "If you bother to read more books. I would say that some more gems or metals were used as protection based on religious beliefs."
Bruce is thinking.
"Yet this mercury liquid is still warm."
Batman computer screen had sounded out the alarms that started a loud noise.
"Beep, beep, beep"
Bruce clicked on the police units.
"All units we need backup. It's happening in Gotham Museum. People are starting to panic and screaming. Oh! Oh, GOD! It's the scarecrow. I repeat it's the scarecrow! No. Please. God no! Get them off of me. AGH!"
Alfred heard the units.
Bruce quickly suits up in his alter ego. He came out batsuit with a long cape and aura that screams justice!
The Batman.
He became Gotham's protector and the dark knight.
"Ready you are Alfred."
Alfred nodded. "I will set up your morning breakfast as usual."
Batman knew that this night changes everything.
Gotham always brings out the worst in people. Especially, old ones.
That's all.
