Chapter 2: Incomprehensible Duality {3/3}
As soon as he heard the news, Alan Thomas Wayne became Robin and immediately rode the R-Cycle towards the location where Gilda Grace'a body was found. As he did, theories passed through his head of what could have occurred, but the first course of action was to inform Batman of his discovery. Though, Robin would be lying if he wasn't deeply frustrated with the outcome caused by the lack of information they had.
Riding through the streets of Gotham City at a relatively high speed. The filthy street somehow became more apparent to him. Though, Gotham City was filthy. Both figuratively and literally, as this city seems like a giant birthing nest for scum. Scum that both him and Batman either lock on Blackgate or toss them in Arkham Asylum, and somehow keep hoping that they'll simply stop.
A sigh came out of the sidekick before he accelerated the R-Cycle. Civilians saw him passing through the streets, some waved at him from afar, others filmed him with their smartphones. Robin simply ignored it and kept on riding towards the crime scene. Catching the sight of a billboard showcasing Harvey's face with a smile on his face. I can understand and even forgive you for hiding it , but if you were the one that killed her, you will have to pay for what you did. Alan thought as he saw Harvey's face for a split second.
Soon enough and after making a few turns at very high speed, Robin arrived at the location. You have to be kidding... The sidekick arrived at the location where Gilda Grace's body was found. It was an abandoned apartment building located North of Gotham City. There were police officers from the GCPD crowding the area alongside several civilians looking around the area alongside some reporters.
"Batman, I'm right outside." He informed Batman as he got off the R-Cycle.
"Last floor, room 509."
Taking a deep breath, Robin approached the building. With everyone around him noticing his presence. But he didn't stay there long enough for anyone to approach him or speak to him. He simply pulled out his grappling hook, shot at the apartment's rooftop and used to climb it. It took six seconds for him to reach the roof and he immediately moved towards the door in order to enter the last floor of the building. Once he stepped foot inside, he saw several police officers standing by a door, obviously room 509.
Robin simply approached the door and the police officers stepped aside for him to pass. It was a single room apartment that was completely empty, with only a counter indicating the separation between the living room and the kitchen. Sadly, there was a corpse in the middle of the living room. Gilda Grace's body, wearing a lovely but damaged green dress.
The sidekick immediately approached her corpse. Staring deeply into the poor girl's dead eyes. The boy sighed before speaking. "Cause of death?" He asked Batman, who was standing behind him.
"Strangulation," He answered. "Time of death was around seven hours ago." Batman gave him the details.
"Any sign that she was killed here?" Robin asked.
"No, she was placed here after the murder." Batman answered the question.
"How was the body found?" Robin asked.
Batman then pointed towards the bedroom. Robin stared for a second before he moved to the bedroom to see. The bedroom, just like the rest of the apartment was empty, except for a second dead body. He was there, sitting on the floor leaning on the wall right in front of the door. "Dammit, I spoke with him last night." The body belonged to Josh Azeveda, the private investigator hired by Harvey Dent, whom Robin questioned the night before.
"He reported the body to the GCPD, but they found his body upon arrival." Batman informed him. "Several bullets to the torso."
"9mm?" He asked.
"No, .45 ACP. " Batman pointed at the M1911A1 on the floor, five steps away from the corpse. "The gun is empty."
"Shot by his own gun?" Robin asked.
"Apparently." Batman replied. "There were bruises on his face, a clear sign of a fight."
"Damn." It was Robin's response to the situation.
Moving closer to Josh's corpse, Robin inspected him. "Did he have anything on him?"
"Wallet, an old cellphone and a flask filled with vodka." Batman told him.
"Did you check the calls?" The sidekick asked him.
"Last call was received around one o'clock in the morning." Batman replied. "The call was made on a payphone a block away from here."
"And her?" He pointed at Gilda Grace's body.
"Nothing." Batman informed him.
He sighed. "No clues?" He asked.
"For the moment." Batman answered his question.
Taking a deep breath, Robin decided to tell him what he discovered. "I did a little investigation on Dent and discovered something." He sent the data to Batman, so he could analyze through Detective Vision. "Harvey Dent was a domestic abuse victim alongside his mother at the hands of his alcoholic father, Christopher Dent." He started to explain. "Apparently, Harvey developed Dissociative identity disorder as result of the abuse."
"He was a patient in Arkham Asylum?" Batman asks as he goes through the file that Robin found there.
"Not the kind of patient we usually send there, but yes." Robin informed him. Harvey went there for regular therapy but not the intense type that some of the inmates usually go through. "How did he keep this information so hidden? It took a lot of work to find his file in the Arkham Asylum's system."
"Bribes and words with the right people can do wonders to hide someone's past." Batman told him as he analyzed the file. "This type of information would ruin his career if it was leaked in any way." Despite his illness, thanks to an unyielding work ethic, Harvey was able to rise up through the ranks of Gotham City's district attorney's office until he became the youngest DA in the city's history.
"Truth, but you're probably thinking what I'm thinking don't you?" What Robin is thinking, is that, Harvey's other side may have been the one responsible for the murders of the criminals that he failed to sentence, as it was too much of a coincidence that a lot of them were killed after their declaration of innocence in court. The sad part is that poor Harvey wouldn't even notice that he was the culprit.
"We must investigate further before making any conclusion, but yes." Batman confirmed. "I must speak with Harvey, see if I can find his whereabouts for the night before."
Robin nodded. "I'll investigate the crime scene further and check if there's anything else."
Batman nodded as well. "Keep your eyes open, the smallest detail can make the biggest difference." The Dark Knight advised the Dark Squire, before making his way towards the exit of the room to go speak with Harvey. Leaving Robin to check the crime scene for any more details that could lead them to the culprit.
Batman already checked all of the obvious clues, but what about the less obvious ones? Robin thought as he prepared to investigate the place further. It's quite obvious that this apartment was just the spot to drop the body off to be found, but someone had to drag her here, and had to pass through the entrance, the stairs and the corridor. Moving towards the door, he encountered the two police officers by the door.
"Are you done?" The officer asked Robin.
"Not yet." He informed him as he walked past in order to have a better vision of the corridor. Activating his Detective Vision, Robin started to analyze the wooden floor. What is that? He noticed something four steps away from the door. There was a damaged board on the floor. Either someone stomped on it, or accidentally stepped on it while carrying some extra weight. He already knew which one was, but he kneeled down to inspect it properly. Suspect was strong enough to carry Gilda Grace's corpse here and was capable enough to disarm and beat Josh Azeveda. He certainly wouldn't call Mr. Azeveda a capable combatant but he was robust enough and should had put on a bit of fight despite being middle aged and killing a man with his own weapon is not exactly an easy task, especially if the murder was unarmed. Only a complete idiot would do this type of thing unarmed, unless the complete idiot in question suddenly decided to hide the body... Like someone that suddenly and unconsciously turned into the killer.
Standing up, Robin proceeded with investigation. Walking down the corridor in order to reach the door that leads to the stairs. There was no elevator on the building, so that was the only way to get to the fifth floor. Quite the climb, especially with the extra weight. Slowly, he descended each step while he inspected the Detective Vision. Looking for anything could be considered a clue or trace. Sadly, he descended all the way to the first floor without finding anything. Catching a glimpse of the front door of the building, he saw several people standing there. Some officers, reporters and civilians. A considerable number of people that saw Robin standing there, started to take pictures and filming him. Choosing to ignore it, the sidekick resumed his investigation.
But, he was starting to think that it was a waste of time. Whoever left her body there and killed Mr. Azeveda, did a meticulous job in hiding it. Even so, Robin decided to take one last good look at the area. Moving towards the counter that was supposed to be the reception of the apartment. He inspected the small area closely with his Detective Vision.
Until...
What is this? He thought as he jumped over the counter to check something that he saw through the Detective Vision. Three steps away from behind the counter, there was a trap door. What do we have here... He thought as he checked the trap door, but it had no handle. Using his grappling hook, Robin shot at the trap door then pulled it open. What is this? He thought before jumping down to check. The way down was relatively deep, and once he reached the bottom, Robin realized that it was a secret room. I don't like where this is going. Secret rooms usually hide something bad inside, which is why he was worried.
A narrow corridor was the first thing to see from the bottom. Robin pulled a small flashlight that he had on his utility belt. Once he did, he noticed a footprint on the ground. "Hmmm..." Robin kneeled down to inspect. Hiking Boots, size ten, heavy steps. That was what he managed to discover from the footprint. Dent only uses business shoes and his shoe size is eight. Robin concluded, although he also noticed that the footprint only pointed to one side, meaning that whoever went in, didn't come out. Turning the Detective Vision on, Robin saw that there was a room at the end of the coordinator and that there was someone inside. Either the culprit or a witness. He thought after deactivating the Detective Vision and starting to approach a metal door that led to the room.
Locked from the inside. Robin thought after inspecting the door. Wasting no time, he placed a small explosive in the door's lock. After taking ten steps back, he exploded the door's lock and immediately moved closer. The explosion was small, so it only caused a slight tremor. Sadly, the noise clearly alerted his presence, but he didn't care.
Once the door was open, Robin felt a bit of relief as the secret room wasn't the depraved type. The place was simply some type of shelter. There was a bed, a bookshelf, a small refrigerator, a Notebook on top of a table in the middle of the room, and there was a door there that he assumes leads to the bathroom. Where the person living there was clearly hiding inside, preparing to attack Robin.
The boy wearing a mask and a cloak simply folded his arms and said. "Come out right now." He spoke calmly. But there was no answer, so Robin sighed. They never learn, do they?
The sidekick then approached the door and opened, predictably, the one behind the door charged at him with a baseball bat. Robin's response was simply to take a step back and the bat collided with the door frame. The idiot tried to hit Robin again, by swinging the bat downwards, but the boy simply evaded by stepping to the side and once the bat hit the floor, Robin delivered a roundhouse kick to the man's face, which landed on his forehead.
The kick caused the man to stumble back, letting go of the bat as a result. He kept himself from falling by grabbing on the door frame with his hands. Sadly for him, Robin charged at him, grabbed him and performed a shoulder throw. Once he was on the floor, Robin performed an arm bar on him and dislocated his elbow. "AAAAHHHH!" The usual scream of pain was heard by the boy, who simply stood up from the floor. "SHIT!" The man cursed as he held his arm in pain.
Robin ignored him and simply activated the Detective Vision to see who he was. What?! It was his reaction after he identified the man. Immediately, he grabbed the baseball bat that was on the floor and hit his leg with it.
"AHHH!" He didn't hit him very hard, just hard enough to get his attention.
"Mr. Sloane, would you kindly explain to me, how exactly would you be here if your body was found two days ago?" The man in question was Paul Sloane. Someone who was supposed to be dead and there was no way Batman mistook the information.
"L-look," Paul Sloane was a relatively attractive man, with light brown hair in a buzzcut and a clean shaven face, he had a defined jawline and bright green eyes. He was wearing a wine colored tracksuit. "I-i can explain." He was clearly frightened by Robin.
"I doubt it, but go on." It was his response.
"O-okay, I-i..." Apparently, he couldn't explain it. "This is all a misunderstanding."
"If you don't tell me what I want to know, everything around you is going to be a misunderstanding." The sidekick informed him while pointing the bat to his head.
"Ummm..." The man was starting to sweat, clearly nervous with his threat.
"Why did you kidnap Gilda Grace?" Robin asked. "And don't waste your time trying to deny it, I found your fingerprints at the location where she was being kept." He immediately added.
"Look, I had a lot of debts to pay, and he offered me a way to escape them if I just kept her there until the end of the election." Paul started to explain it. Faking your own death to escape debt collectors, seriously?
"Who is he?" Robin needed clarification.
"Hamilton Hill." He revealed it to the boy.
The man was an actor, but not a particularly good one. He searched for traces of lie, but found none. So he decided to ask the important question. "Why did you kill her and Mr. Azeveda?"
"Oh god! No,no,no,no! I didn't kill those two!" Paul desperately denied. The desperation was genuine, so Robin believed him, for now.
So he decided to question him further. "What exactly happened then?"
The actor sat up while still clutching his arm in pain. Robin allowed it because he needed the information. "Listen, I got a call from someone saying that some detective was going to be snooping around that house." He was clearly referring to the house that used to belong to Harvey and Gilda when they were married.
"Who called, Hill?" Robin asked him.
"N-no, it was someone else, and I don't think he worked for Hill." He clarified. "I put her in my car after the call and brought her here."
"By here, you mean the building or this room?" If she was still alive when he brought her to this building, this could be the place where the murder occur.
"The room." Thankfully, he clarified.
Looking around for a bit, he asked. "How did you end up here anyway?"
The man sighed. "My old manager owns the building, he told me I could stay here for a while." He explained.
"Okay... Where were you seven hours ago?" The time of the murder according to Batman.
"I was at a Diner, a few blocks away from here." Paul informed Robin. "The waitress is a fan of mine, she can vouch for me."
"Why are you hiding in here right now?" That was his last question.
"When I came back, I saw a car speeding out of the place and when I went inside to check, I heard the police sirens coming, so I panicked and hid here." He explained to Robin and he believed him.
"What kind of car?" The boy with messy hair asked.
"I don't know, I didn't really see it." Paul informed him. "I think the car was green."
Just like Dent's car... "Okay, that was my last question." That was Robin's last word to the men.
"So... Can I g-" Before he could finish his stupid question, Robin smashed the tip of the bat on his face , knocking him out instantly.
After handing Paul Sloane to the authorities, Robin inspected that room but sadly found no clues. So all he had was the information.
He passed everything he discovered to Batman. Hamilton Hill was the culprit of Gilda Grace's kidnapping, who got Paul Sloane to do it in exchange of helping him fake his death in order for him to escape debt collectors. But it's still up for debate if the murder was his doing as well as the phone call that informed him of Mr. Azeveda's arrival was still a mystery. Made it worse by the information that Harvey had no alibi for the time of the murder, as the officer that was supposed to be guarding him was mysteriously absent during that particular time. That coupled with the information that Paul saw a green car, precisely the color of Harvey's car, storming out of the area after the murder took place, only add to the suspicion.
Everything is such a mess. Alan thought in deep frustration.
Currently, the boy was sitting in the movie theater inside of Wayne Manor. Watching a movie in order to pass the time until his father returns, so they can discuss what to do next. He was eating some profiteroles with Chantilly cream.
The debate between Dent and Hill will happen tomorrow night, and there's no way Blackmask won't be getting involved in it. Alan highly doubts that Sloane is going to confess that Hill hired him to kidnap Gilda Grace. My theory, he was going to blackmail Harvey during the debate or something similar. It was the best explanation that he could come up with. But now, it was worthless. Actually, it probably made Hill seem worse to the public, since he will probably be the prime suspect for that.
"I shall return someday..." Alan repeated the quote from the movie. He was actually watching a movie called Renu. A movie starring Basil Karlo, better known as Clayface nowadays. Despite him being one the major foes that he and his father have to face, Alan was a big fan of his movies.
Suddenly, he heard steps coming from the door, where he saw his father entering the movie theater.
"Let me guess," Alan spoke as his father approached him. "More questions than answers?"
"Yes." It was his father's sole response as he sat next to Alan. "You did good in locating Sloane."
"It was pure luck to be honest, I almost missed that trap door." Alan confessed. "But, what now?" He asked the important question. "Hill was the one behind the kidnapping but there is the possibility that Harvey might have been the one that killed her."
"That's the problem with might, we don't know for certain." His father spoke in response. "I admit, Harvey has been doing some very suspicious things that are not helping his case." He pointed out. "But if we don't handle this correctly, we might end up ruining his life over nothing."
"What do you mean?" Alan asked as he ate a profiterole.
"The file from Arkham Asylum did say that underwent therapy for the condition, but the files stated that the symptoms were non-existent after a while." His father explained. "Which indicates that Harvey was able to manage his condition, but with these recent events."
"Or he thinks he managed his condition, which is pretty tragic but we can just let him continue like this if that is the case." Alan decided to add.
"I agree, we need to get to the bottom of this." His father spoke with a lot of determination in his voice. "But we will have to put our suspicions about Harvey to rest for the moment."
"Because of the debate?" It was a stupid question.
"Yes, Blackmask will definitely try something during the debate." My guess, he will have a bunch of his armed goons storm the place and conveniently kill Harvey during the crossfire. "I will have to be there in support of Harvey's campaign."
"I'll hide the Batsuit in a secluded spot then." Alan immediately started to get into the planning. "Is Gordon's security ready?"
"I spoke to him a while ago and he's making all of the necessary preparations." Jim Gordon was trustworthy. "But Blackmask wastes no expenses on his plans."
"This will not be an amateur work, are you sure you don't want to make up an excuse for Harvey?" Alan asked. He's confident that he can handle it, but he doesn't feel comfortable with his father standing in the line of fire with no protection or weapons.
"We're financing his campaign with our money, my presence there is necessary." His father pointed out, but he clearly understands Alan's concerns. "But, I'll wear a protective vest under my suit." He decided to take the necessary measures, since Blackmask was no joke. "And you'll need to keep your eyes open, the first sign of trouble, I'm gonna need you to warn me and act, there will be a lot of spectators at that debate."
"I am aware of that, but Harvey will definitely be the main target." Alan pointed out the obvious. "The reason why I'm worried about you, is because we both know how much Blackmask despises you." Following the "suspicious" death of his multi-millionaire parents, Roman Sionis, or as they prefer to call him, Blackmask, had inherited their fortune and went on to bankrupt their company. Only to be saved by a buyout by Bruce Wayne, Sionis came to resent and hate him afterwards. "I wouldn't be surprised if he told his Henchman to shoot you on sight."
"Agreed, which is why we need to plan this carefully." His father grabbed one of his profiteroles to taste. "You know, that amount of Chantilly cream kind of ruins the taste."
"Blame Cassie, she is the one that made me like Chantilly cream so much." It was true, Cassie loves to put Chantilly cream in every single sweet that she eats. And she ended up passing that to Alan. The mention of his cousin also reminded him. "I mean to ask, do you mind if I spend a week or two in Gateway City? After we solve this mess?" I miss mom.
"If Diana is okay with it." It was the only thing he had to say about it.
"Of course, I'm okay with that."
As soon as he got his father's approval, he went to call his mother to ask if she had a problem, unsurprisingly, she didn't.
"Are you okay, your voice sounds a little strange?" Alan asked his mother in worry.
"Well... I had a less than pleasant encounter with a Cheetah." His mother revealed it to him.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asked in concern.
"Not on the phone, face to face will be much better." She replied to him. "You can also tell me about the whole election thing."
"Hopefully, with a concrete conclusion to it." That was his biggest hope for this complicated situation, all he wants is for it to end already. "How is Cassie?"
"Right here." His mother spoke before she passed the phone to his cousin.
"Hey, Wonder Boy!" Suddenly, he heard his cousin's voice on the other side of the phone. Wonder Boy was the affectionate nickname that his mother and Cassie gave it to him.
"Hey, Wonder Girl." Alan greeted her back. "I miss you."
"I miss you too, but don't worry, we'll spend every single day together when you come to visit." She seemed excited by that. "Hell, we can even be a dynamic duo again." She will never gonna live it down will she? "Robin and Wonder Girl, ready to kick some asses." Alan rolled his eyes in response.
"Sure..." He spoke in amusement. "I'll go there as soon as I help my father solve this whole election mess."
"Ohh... I hope someone films it, your fan-club hasn't had a video of you in a while." Cassie spoke enthusiastically.
...
...
...
...
"What fan-club?" Robin immediately asked in deep confusion.
"Wait? Seriously?!" She seems even more surprised. "Wait..." Suddenly, Alan's cell phone started to vibrate in his pocket. After picking it up, he was shocked by seeing that Cassie had sent him several fan-pages dedicated to Robin on several different Social Media sites. The followers on each of them seemed to be already in the millions, which shocked the hell out of him. Even more shocking, was the amount of photos and videos of him that were apparently taken by several of the civilians. The most recent one, was a video of him dragging Paul Sloane out of the abandoned apartment in order to hand him to the authorities.
It had several commentaries on it.
What did that guy do?
I heard he kidnapped the woman that they found dead and was hiding inside a secret room, but Robin found the idiot and beat the shit out of him.
LOL! Good riddance.
Robin is so hot!
Does anyone know where I can get a haircut like this?
I saw him in my neighborhood with that awesome bike of his yesterday.
After reading about that, Alan scrolled down for more content, and found a considerable amount of fan-art, merchandise and even some photos of people with tattoos with either his face or name on it. I could have lived without seeing that.
"Ummm..." It was Alan's response to what he just saw and he could hear Cassie's laugh over it.
"Don't be so surprised, all of the other sidekicks have fan-clubs too." She revealed it to him. "Though, yours is certainly the most popular one."
"Why...?" Alan had to ask as he can't understand why.
"I don't know, maybe it's because you're hot or something." She told him that with a strange tone of voice.
"What?" Alan wasn't sure if he heard right.
"Nothing, I have to go now." Cassie immediately decided to cut the call short. "Don't take too long to come." That was the last thing she said to him.
"What was that all about?" His mother's voice reappeared on the phone.
"I have no idea..." Alan Thomas Wayne was extremely confused. "I have to go, I have to prepare myself for tomorrow."
"Yes, I have to do something as well." It was his mother's reply. "Take care of yourself, okay?."
"I love you, mother." Alan told his mother.
"I love you too, my Wonder Boy." That was the last thing she said before she hung up the phone.
Once Alan placed the phone down, he moved towards the entrance of the Batcave. He needed to memorize every single entrance, pathway and exit of the building where the debate will take place. Him and his father were also going to formulate the possible entrances that Blackmask can use for whatever he is planning. There was also the spot where Alan would need to plant the Batsuit when things go bad, and they will go bad as always. And last, an escape route to get Harvey out of there as he would be the main target. Alan still believed his theory of a full assault on the place but he needed to see what his father thought about it. But if it was correct, they need to be prepared as Blackmask's henchmen were the best armed goons, at least in comparison to the ones that the Joker and Penguin have. Speaking of Penguin, there was still some investigation about his last scheme that was left unanswered, he must remember his father to investigate further. Upon entering the Batcave, he saw his father analyzing the building blueprint.
Harvey Dent, I highly doubt that you are worth all of this. But everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Sadly, you are facilitating the proven guilty part, which is only making me eager to do with you what I do with every single criminal I get my hands on.
Thanks for reading this chapter.
Questions and Answers:
I'm really liking this story. I hope it's still worked on, because I'm enjoying this more than I thought I would.
I'm glad.
Update the next chapter.
Sorry, for the wait.
Also realised another thing about that snippet with Harley even if he rejects them Alan still has his Kryptonian powers so if he really wanted to get away from Harley he easily could have
I also hope it's addressed one reason Clark is maybe on edges around Alan is he's aware that while Alan is only nearly as strong as him he's a hell of a lot better of a fighter
Might just be because I've been watching a lot of Young Justice but for his Titans hope Alan can also count
Livewire
Mist
Stargirl
Looker aka Lia Briggs
Doubling as harem suggestions to haha also hope Grail isn't the only potential New God that could fall for Alan for example Bekka
I'll also suggest Princess Perdita with her being like a year younger than Alan is in this
If you do previews
Hero Preview - Supergirl and Batgirl, Orphan and Spoiler or Donna, Cassie, Zatanna and Starfire
Villain preview - Grail or Harley and Ivy after all no idea if Grail is going to be in this haha
Probably said this already but hope Alan has already worked with and knows pretty much all the members of the Justice League and the sidekicks of the members who have them and hope Alan has such a standing in the superhero community at League meetings despite being a member very few question him if he takes a seat at the table but yeah he's worked with all the Heroes and even worked alongside a few on his own like say he once teamed up Black Canary
Lastly so Diana reacted well to Alan but what about the Amazons as a whole like has Diana taken him to Themyscria and could they have acknowledged him as a Brother of the Amazons?
Alan has something that supresses his Kryptonian powers. {Both for personal and practical reasons. Personal: He hates and refuses to use them. Practical: He could accidently kill someone because of them.}
That's the type of paranoia that Batman would have actually.
Maybe...
I'll put one in the end of the chapter for you.
He already met most of the Justice League, and some of the sidekicks but not all of them.
Diana hasn't taken him to Themyscria or showed him to the Amazons or her mother yet. {She'll eventually take both Cassie and Alan there to help her solve a problem, and by the end of it, Alan will be aknowledge as the Prince of the Amazons of Themyscira by Hippolyta.}
Wait...so he is a clone made from dna of bats, supes and ww?
It's literally written on the summary, why are you asking?
Obrigado pelo capítulo incrível Autor-San, mais um para coleção.
De nada.
Little curious when it comes to Alan's Titans is he going to set them up in the classic Titans tower or his own version of it or maybe he sets the Titans up in Mt Justice
Hope this is the roster of Alan's Titans
Alan, Orphan, Batgirl, Spoiler, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, Terra, Ms Martian, Kid Flash, Zatanna, Artemis, Aqualad Kaldur, Red Arrow, Blue Beetle, Cheshire, Rose Wilson, Donna, Cassie, Rocket, Blackfire, Super Girl
Yeah I'm really hoping his Titans is very much a Young justice and Titans mash up haha
To explain Kara's presence hope it could be a case of she's there when Alan founds the group and he's just like I know I'm going to get a headache if you don't join haha
Also like in most continuities I hope Alan as Robin was the first of the "sidekicks" to appear and Batman taking him on sparked the wave of some of the other League members taking on sidekicks to
Think I mentioned Vengeance before Bane's daughter/clone if you do have her around could I also suggest in this world after finding out her origins she killed her creators left and found Bane and he took her in and fully accepted her as his daughter like how Bruce took in Alan I know Vengeance and Bane haven't meet in the comics so no basis for how Bane will react to her but just a idea I also like her and Alan bonding over their similar origins
With Bizarro while setting him up somewhere he could be happy I hope Alan has a way to for a lack of better term summon him when he feels like Bizarro could help and Bizarro will come flying to pummel anything Alan points him
Now with ways Alan could expand Wayne enterprise in the back ground aside from buying Lex Corp and the Iceberg Lounge can like I said can Alan have bought two news papers one the Gotham Gazette the other being the Daily Planet
Yes Alan would buy the daily planet almost purely to piss off Clark and make his work life that little bit more miserable… what Alan could have something in common with Lex Luthor in that they both just love annoying superman
Side note when it comes to the people who surround Clark hope Alan is pretty much neutral with Clarks parents, he gets on great with Lois and he hates Jimmy
But yeah could be fun to see Alan casually end up purchasing and owning a few of the prominent business in the Dc universe as for what else he owns in Gotham hope he owns the Gotham Greenhouse and Gotham Zoo
With regards to the Gotham sirens eager to see those relationships of course I'm hoping they all have a very romantic/intimate element haha the weird element comes from how close he is to them and they to him shouldn't be possible haha but in the specific cases
Catwoman I hope Alan if he finds her breaking in somewhere and she's stealing stuff from a criminal he'd actually join her in stealing what ever it is she's after and he never attempts to arrest her or anything
Ivy one thing I realised is for Ivy to know Alan takes very good care of the plant she gives him she knows where that is so Ivy will find out Alan's identity so there's of course some trust there since I doubt Ivy would blab about it and also can Ivy like Alan enough to where he's the one of the three people Ivy brings to her Eden garden her secret sanctuary under Gotham than not even Batman knew about and Ivy told only Selina and Harley about it
Fun fact according to Harley Ivy's Eden has a no clothing rule so you know could be fun to have Alan and the three sirens down there relaxing at some point haha
With Harley little aside hope this is a Harley that has the bleached white skin tone and looks well pretty much like her Joker war self with the Hyena's little addendum I'd like to make to my own request and that's he just helps Harley look after the two of them and good to know he will get on with them haha and while some might see it as "disturbed" hope she and Alan love each other plenty
By disturbed I'm guessing in the similar way to how Joker is obsessed with Batman in her own way Harley is obsessed with Alan and he well I hope Alan is fine with it and thinks better he be Harley's sort of obsession than Joker
Plus we could see Alan influence the three into being more anti heroes which to be fair each one operates as and heck Harley is a hero in the comics now for the most part anyway haha
So yeah looking forward to Alan, Harley, Ivy and Catwoman
More and less, at first, it will be in a unique version of the Titan tower and later Mt Justice.
It is a mash up of classic Titans and Young Justice, so don't worry.
Alan doesn't really founds the group, the Justice League does and Batman and Wonder Woman kind of force him to join (Alan isn't really much of a group's person, preferring to just work with Batman and occasionally with Wonder Woman.) He's much less fond of the idea when Kara decides to join. (Basically taking Superboy's spot in the team.)
There are some sidekicks around already, but Robin was indeed the first.
He will probably bump into Vengeance but don't expect them to friendly. She nearly pulls the same stunt that Bane did with Batman on Alan.
Alan and Bizarro will have a relationship, similar to the one that Bizarro had with Red Hood when he was in the Outlaws.
Maybe on the day he inherits the Wayne Fortune but he certainly doesn't look forward to that day.
Alan is very respectful with Mr. and Mrs. Kent. He likes Lois as he deeply investigative skills (Lois acts like a step-mother to Alan in a way), he thinks Jimmy is a moron.
Like, I said, he has a weird relationship with the trio.
Alan has a really, weird type of relationship with them.
With Catwoman, they have a weird step-son and step-mom kind of dynamic if that makes sense. (Which will kind of contrast his relationship with Lois at times. Kind of a chaotic version of it.)
Alan cares about the environment and he respects Ivy cause, just not her methods. (Sometimes, he even helps her achieve in a non-violent way.)
The Joker and Harley Quinn in here have pretty interesting relationship with Alan, you see, they kind act like like two Antithesis version of that of Alan's parents in a way. You'll understand when he finally interacts with the two.
Harley has her own branch of obsessive behavior towards Alan.
Question?
What Martial Arts does Alan use on his fighting style.
Being the son of Batman, he probably knows as many fighting styles as he does, but I'm wondering which ones he prefers to utilize.
Alan knows all the Martial Arts Styles that Batman knows. But he has a preference for Eastern Martial Arts like; Kung Fu, Wing Chun , Aikido, Judo, Jujutsu, Karate, Kempo, Hapkido, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Eskrima , Kendo, Kenjutsu, Kubuto, Pencak Silat, etc. But Alan is the type of guy that will rely on weapons, tricks and gadgets, only going unarmed when there's no other options.
Quick side not if you do go with Ghostmaker being Alan's uncle figure maybe the R cycle could have been a gift from him
Anyway neat getting Alan going all solo detective for a bit
You know with all this stuff around Harvey I'm wondering if in the back off his head Alan is tallying up the odds that he becomes one of their rogues haha
Still with him thinking about Dent having another side least he won't be to surprised when Two Face properly emerges
Okay love the fact Alan has a foundness for Looney toons after binge watching it with Harley who speaking of downside from that memory got captured by the Joker and Harley also the whole tied up deal upside Alan was feed ice cream by Harley, watched cartoons with Harley and best of all she buried his face in her tits and despite the slight lack of air I'd still chalk that up as a positive so all around not to bad to be honest
Also makes a ton of a sense that Joker would take one look at Alan and be able to tell he's actually Batman's son
Loved to how Harley just spent time with Alan and didn't seem all that fussed about Batman and Joker fighting
Good that Alan was able to uncover Dents condition
Now loved all the previews
With the Supergirl one thing I'm not to sure if Alan's name would translate into Kryptionion as Ken-El if anything I think it would translate to something like Al-El regardless makes sense he wouldn't care at all for having a Kryptionian name and yeah do hope Kara and Alan end up on very close and intimate terms
The ones with some of the Arkham inmates was nice and it was also nice of Alan to tell Clayface he thinks he's a good actor and with Ivy yeah of course I love the fact she gave him a planet that while it could try to kill Alan at Ivy's command it of course never did and Alan took such good care of it oh think you can take the "it" out of the That plant you gave it to me, think it could just be that plant you gave to me as a gift
With Raven while obliviously concerned over the whole Demon God father deal she's got going on it's nice that Alan is willing to let her into his mind and mediate with her now if I had to hazard a guess as to what was going on with Trigons eyes going all blinky and Raven being confused over what the hell was going on I'd say Alan and her minds connected on a even deeper level than expected so they'll connect minds easier could see a easy connection forming with Megan to possibly but yeah still looking forward to when Raven picks up on Alan's thoughts about him maybe admiring how her leotard hugs her figure etc haha
Liked learning to that Megan, Roy and a Kid Flash will be apart of Alan's Titans and am I right in thinking Alan's Titans are going to be like a mix of the traditional Titans alongside the Team from Young Justice
Liking the implication to that Alan while a very much loved leader won't be taking shit if he's willing to break Roy's arm to get his point across it's also neat knowing he's the leader everyone choose I'm also of course curious over how the Titans form in this be funny if it was something like there's a justice league meeting and all the sidekicks are just hanging out and Alan is like fuck it you guys want to get out of here while the meeting is going on
Going back to the Super family nice knowing that Bizarro will be in Alan's good books
With Alan having a powers from Wonder Woman I'm sure even as a clone of her he should have inherited some powers from her yes standard Amazon power initially comes from divine empowerment or blessing whatever but Diana is not just a Amazon she's a demi god so there is as odd as it might sound some magical/divine genetic components that Alan should have inherited power from things like even more increased strength, durability, speed etc and with the relation to Zeus lighting powers to
Heck the addition of the divine/borderline Homo Magi dna in Alan could perhaps be the factor that made Alan's creation nigh on impossible Kryptionian dna alone is stated to a absolute bitch to work with so throwing in Wonder Woman's dna surly turned what was already a nightmare to work with into something even worse so even if he's considered imperfect as I saw you put no one is trying to "perfect" the process of making someone like Alan because making him alone was again borderline impossible and a miracle in its self and there's just no way to "improve" on it
Just occurred to me to wouldn't Alan at least genetically be considered more a sibling to the trinity than a child due to him being a clone don't get me wrong the relationship with Bruce is absolutely father and son due to Bruce taking him in and raising him but I just thought with Diana wouldn't she refer to Alan as her little brother also that wouldn't change Alan admiring her haha
With Alan and magic plus Zatanna can I add that I really really hope Zatanna is the same age as Alan being like her Young Justice self where she's in the age bracket of the younger heroes so hence she's she same age as Alan heck Raven could chime in on the lessons to
Good to know Alan will be loved by the Hyena's oh and with the Sirens getting them and Alan will be fun and despite the weirdness as you put it still going to hope there is a clear romantic and intimate aspect haha
I didn't said he would, I only said that Alan is open to learn new things from all kinds of people.
Expect more of those.
Harvey is the last rogue in Batman's gallery to be introduce as it is mostly completed.
Harvey is able to control it, but not so much after a little accident, which will cause an ocean of problems since poor Robin may be forced to deal with Mayor Two-Face.
Like I said, Alan has a weird kind of relationship with his father's rogue's gallery. (The Joker and Harley being the most prominent ones.)
Yup...
Harley once asked the Joker if they could adopt him if they managed to kill the Bat. {Though that would lead into the same thing that happened to Tim Drake in the Return of the Joker.}
It was very well hidden though.
It's just a small alteration of Superboy's Kryptonian name, Kon-El. It doesn't translate to anything really. He will eventually warn up to Kara.
He's actually a fan of Basil Karlo's films and Alan actually has a fondness for Gardening, which is something that Ivy likes about him.
Raven envies how his mind is so peaceful despite being so chaotic. Which something that absolutely wished to posses herself as her mind is in a constant chaotic battle with her demonic side. Their connection comes from the fact that Raven develops an addiction towards the mind link that she establishes with Alan as it brings her mind into the same peacefulness that Alan's mind possesses.
Correct.
Roy got arrogant after managing to knock Deathstroke out. (Not realizing that it was because he just came out of a epic battle against Orphan and Robin, being severely injured by the two.) So Robin beat the shit out of him during training and broke his arm with an arm-bar to teach him some humility.
Alan sympathizes with Bizarro because he's practically an embodiment of one of the many possibilities of how wrong Alan could have turned out.
He did, but he still needs a Divine Blessing to use them. (Which he will acquire alongside some gifts from his mother that she got from Hephaestus and temporarily assume the identity of Wonder Boy after he's officially declared the Prince of Themyscira.)
The idiot that discarded Alan was kind of expecting instant results and immediately considered him a failure for not being capable of what he expected, only for him to actually turn out the way he expected later. (After training, sun radiation, and some divine blessings.)
If he was a pure clone of one of them, then he could be considered a sibling. But Alan is the result of a random combination of the Trinity's DNA, which is basically how a normal child is produced (Being a random combination of the parents DNA) Which is why Alan qualifies more as a son of the Trinity than a sibling.
She'll be slightly older that Alan (Not much) but still younger than the rest of Justice League.
Hah
N one other thing I forgot to mentioned, Ghost-Maker?! Seriously?! How can u even think of that psychopath as family? Ghost-Maker lacks empathy n views killing as a form of art, he's like a DC Punisher n Frank was a marine! Even though he was Bruce's former friend word of advice, stay away from him.
LOL! As I already clarified, he's willing to learn things from him, not exactly consider him family.
This case is getting more complex like a real Batman comic. I know, I just read Endgame. Sounds like this world's Superman may be a problem. Superman was always the pinnacle of superheroism in the DCverse. The symbol of the better man. For him to be unaccepting of Alan for this long, makes me worry about what kind of character Clark has now. Remember what happened to him in Injustice? If the best of us can change like that, what kind of threat would this Superman possess? All these previews make it sound like there was a story told before these chapters right? If so, afterward, will we get the full scoop of how our Boy Wonder/Steel/Themyscira came to be? especially who created him. Bizarro is a monster whose percept of thinking is rendered backwards, how can u even consider him as a part of the Super Family? Not to mention be able to talk to him. Guess there will be no Supergirl n Power Girl in the harem. But do not forget, no matter how much u push away the genes in your body, it doesn't change that you're the son of Superman. If Clark's still the man I know he is, he'll come around. N u, eventually you'll have to accept these powers will be needed by u. Update soon
Good to know.
Superman isn't evil or anything, he just had a similar reaction with the one he had with Superboy in Young Justice, but unlike Superboy, Alan took a great offense to it which was mostly due to his inferiority complex related to his status as a clone. So it causes Alan to avoid him as much as possible and acting openly rude with him, so their relationship wasn't able to improve.
Alan has been Robin for three years already so, yes, he already face a good chunk of his father's rogues alongside him and partially knows the other sidekicks. His creator will appear soon and Alan detests him even more than he does Clark.
Because Bizarro is a painful reminder of what he could have turned out under different circumstances which causes him to be sympathetic towards him despite his monster status. (If you're anyway related to Superman, Clone or Not, then you're technically part of the Super Family.)
He will eventually warn up to her, so don't worry. (After a load of complications involving Mr. and Mrs. Kent.)
Alan will eventually accept his Kryptonian side. (Even temporarily taking the mantle of Superboy and defending Metropolis for a time due to Superman's absence.)
{Preview for Mr. Guest}
I know it's short, but...:
{
As Alan did his best to mumble the noise using the earplugs that he got, all he could do was try to finish the book that he was reading. He was holding the book with his left hand while his right hand was patting Cass's head. Cass decided to join Alan in the couch that he was laying on top of, by laying on top of him, and using his chest as a pillow. Currently, she was sleeping peacefully while Alan caressed her head. How exactly was she able to do that with the amount of screaming that their teammates were doing was a mystery.
In deep curiosity, Alan removed one of the earplugs to hear the argument.
"I need him back in Gotham City in order to get the investigation on Hush back on track!" Barbara yelled.
"Hush is just a man, I need him in Metropolis to help catch Parasite before he causes any more damage!" Kara yelled.
"My sister is on the loose, I need my beloved's help to find her!" Koriand'r yelled.
"Cassie and I need him to deal with Circe , all of those other problems can wait!" Donna yelled.
Immediately regretting it, Alan placed the earplug back on his ear to muffle the noise and waited for them to fight it out to decide. He honestly had no preference and would go with any of them. After a few more minutes passed and he was able to read two pages of his book, the Doomsday Clock was the name, it was an interesting book. But sadly, he got interrupted by someone slapping his forehead. It startled him and he moved his head to see who it was, it turned out to be Vic, looking at him apprehensively.
"What?" He removed the earplugs to ask.
"Do... Something... About... Them...!" His Cyborg friend demanded while pointing at the woman that were fighting over him.
"Do what?" Alan would have done it already if he knew what to do. I highly doubt that they'll stop if I ask nicely.
"ANYTHING!" Vic spoke in frustration as they seemed to be about to engage in a battle, which was visibly frightening Vic. His fear was justified as the four of them would probably cause a lot of damage if they fought each other there.
After a soft sigh, Alan woke Cass up gently so she'll get off of him. She opened her lovely brown eyes and stare at his dark blue ones for a bit, before she approached her face and gave him a kiss on the lips. Alan returned the kiss before pushing the mute girl off of him in order for him to stand up from the couch.
"WHAT I MEANT I-" Barbara was about to yell something.
"Enough!" But Alan interrupted her.
