Gotham City, 1977

Six years later, after the tragic event of the Wayne family, it was the judgment day of Joe Chill. Bruce was smoking weed in the bed, after spent a night with a girl. Suddenly, Alfred opened the door with that smell and said:

"Ok, Mr. Bruce, it's time to wake up!"

"Oh c'mon, Alfred, give us some minutes..."

"No, you spent almost all the morning there in the bed. It's time to wake up now!"

"Ok, babe, it's time to wake up."

"Oh, really? Now?" the girl asked to him.

"Yes, now." Bruce answered to her.

Then Alfred opened the door of his mansion and she kissed Bruce:

"Call me whenever you need me..."

"Ok, sure." Bruce answered to her giving a sequin smile.

Then she walked out the mansion.

Alfred started to starring Bruce really angry and then saw him smoking another marijuana and drinking a glass of whisky.

Then Bruce looked at him and said:

"Oh c'mon, Alfred. Why are you starring me like that? Don't you say you have never done this before?"

"Your dad would be so ashamed of you now, little boy!"

"Oh c'mon it was just a night... What does it matter?"

"Yes, you said that in last night also, don't you remember?!"

Then Bruce starring at him and started to laugh.

"Oh c'mon, Alfred. You don't have to be so sensitive with me, you're just my employee..."

"Yes, but I'm concerned about you!"

"You don't have to concern about me, I'm 16 years old! I can take care of myself!"

"No, you can't. I don't see any trust on you! Your parents wouldn't be so proud..."

"My parents are dead, Alfred! It's been more than six years!"

Then it suddenly got a silence in the kitchen room.

After that Bruce looked at him and said:

"Now if you excuse me, I need to finish these..."

After that discussion, Bruce walked out of the kitchen room and went on the garden where he ended his glass of whisky and his marijuana.

By this time, Alfred approached to him and put a hand on his.

"I'm so sorry, Alfred. But I can't with these..."

"I know, Mr. Bruce. I think it's about time for you go to the psychiatrist again..."

"But what now? I've been there since I was 10, I can't anymore, I just want my parents back..."

And then he started to cry on Alfred's chest and then Alfred giving him a hug.

Between these years, there was so many things Bruce suffered from. Since depression at the early teenhood, drug dependency and even suicide attempts. He tried with a lot of pyschiatrists and therapeutic in these time, but no one suceeded on him as Alfred. Alfred was his best friend to these time, his father, someone he could call upon when things got hard.

The Wayne Inc. stayed in the command of Lucius Fox, by this time, until Bruce had the appropriate age to run according to his dad's testament.

At this time, Alfred knew it was Joe Chil's judgment day, but he didn't want to told Bruce because he didn't know how Bruce could react to it. Bruce was so impulsive by this time.

So then, Alfred took a deep breath and Bruce noticed it and asked:

"What's wrong, Alfred?"

Then Alfred looked at Bruce and said:

"Nothing, kid. Would you like to do the lunch with me?"

Then Bruce looked at him.

"Sure."

"Ok."

After, they lunch together, Bruce went to sleep on his bedroom. Suddenly he started to listen Alfred talking on the phone.

"Yes, I know, he's just a little boy... No, of course I haven't told him... Of course, Lucius, I don't know how he could react to this... Yes, I know... Ok, bye."

Then Alfred turned off the phone and went downstairs.

At this time, Bruce followed him quietly and then saw Alfred watching the TV concerned about something.

After that Alfred went upstairs and picked to him a glass of water, Bruce watched the TV and saw what it was: the judgment of Joe Chill happening in Gotham TV.

When Alfred came back, Bruce immediatelly went upstairs to his bedroom quietly.

At this point, Bruce started to think and cry a little bit, then he picked a marijuana and smoked.

After that, he though about the event, flashbacks went on his mind when his family got murdered by Joe Chill, he though about his mother and his father how he was trying to do the best to get away of their situation and even fought with the bandit to protect them, but never had the courage to kill him.

Then Bruce close his fist and looked:

"I'll kill this bastard, father, I promise..."

After that he went on sleep.

In the next day, he woke up at 12pm with Alfred ordering to him to wake up. Had some lunch and then started to think about the multiple possibilities that he could kill Joe Chill. Maybe, after the court would be a great opportunity to deal with him, but he could need a gun to it.

Afterwards, he had the idea to contact his dealer:

"Hey man, it's Bruce, could please come here today?"

After that, his dealer appeared with a package of marijuana, he was a mexican foreign, then he said:

"Bruce, my friend, here it is. Take a good care of it."

"Thanks Del Grato."

"So, where's the diñero, huh?"

"Well, here it is..."

Then Bruce took his wallet of his pocket and paid his package of marijuana. Then he asked to the dealer:

"So, uhm, before you go, I want to know how much it costs to buy a gun?"

Then he looked at him.

"A gun? Why a gun?"

"Well, just to shots on the trees you know, train some target shots."

Then Bruce started to laugh alone, but the dealer doesn't find it so funny.

"Well, Bruce, my friend, I want you to know that gun is not a toy it's something that make a man very powerful and it can such a blessing to have one sometimes or a curse... It depends on how you use it..."

"Ok Del Grato, I know that, I promise I'll take a good care of the gun..."

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Then Del Grato hesitates to deliver a gun to Bruce then looked and said:

"Ok, but don't tell anybody about it, ok?"

"Ok, thanks Del Grato."

"Make a good use about it. Take care of yourself, kid."

Suddenly Del Grato gave two pats on Bruce's shoulder and left out.

Then Bruce went back inside the mansion, when he went on his bedroom he started to look at the gun and think about a way he could kill Joe Chill once for all...

In the next day, was a Monday and Bruce had to went to class, but he could skipped to it as he was already used to do it.

At 8AM, Alfred appeared on his bedroom and said:

"Ok, time to go to school, get up, Bruce!"

"Ohhh, just a few minutes..."

"No, it's already 8AM, you don't want to miss class..."

Then Alfred left him on the school and went back to the mansion.

After Alfred, get out, he immediately went with the loaded gun in direction of the court where it was happening Joe's trial.

So, there he was waiting for some time until Joe's went back on prision.

At this time a lot of reporters started to come back at the place.

After waiting for some time at 10AM it was the break time of the court. By this time, there was Joe Chill with a very upset face walking out to the police car.

In this time Bruce was shaking his hands, he never did something like that before in his entire life, but he knew it was about time to do it.

So he tooked the gun out of his pocket and grabed it hidden on his coat.

Then he suddenly started to approach to Joe Chill closer and closer by this time he gave an scream:

"Hey Joe!"

Then Joe looking at him and recognize him.

"I think it's time for you to die!" screamed him.

Then he pointed the gun and immediatelly a cop took the gun out of his hand and took him to the police department.

After some hours in the delegacy, Alfred appeared with an upset face and took the boy out of here with Lucius.

In the car, Alfred started to say:

"Unbelievable! You're just like your father!"

Then Bruce was with a head down and Lucius said:

"Hey, Bruce, Alfred is talking to you... Answer to him..."

"No, leave him, Lucius, I told you I couldn't talk anything to him... Look what it results!"

"Why do you defend so much this bandit, Alfred?" asked Bruce in an angry note.

"I'm not defending him, little boy! I'm defending you! Have you ever though it'd be a great idea to bring some loaded gun to the court and try to kill this man?! Never though how stupid it could be?! If you were more mature and more responsible you'd understand it, I guess!"

Then Bruce got silent and went back to the mansion. After that he locked himself in the bedroom and start to smoke some marijuana.

That time, Alfred knock on the door.

"Mr. Wayne, wanna talk to you."

"Leave me alone, Alfred..."

"Hey this is serious. Bruce open the door!"

Then Bruce unlocked the door and Alfred started to starring to him:

"What?"

"I don't want to do this, but I see there's no choice. I appointed some psychiatrist for you tomorrow morning..."

"Oh come on..."

"No, that's serious, Bruce. You're not ok. You almost killed a man in front of the cops without hesitate a minute. Gotham City is talking about it now. Do you have any idea how bad is this for The Wayne Enterprises?"

"He killed my parents...!"

"He's just a man, Bruce! Unfortunely this is how the laws works, you can't do anything more..."

And then Bruce starred to him.

"Tomorrow after the therapy we talk better. Goodnight."

In the other day, Bruce went on the therapy, after he arrived from there, the doctor recommendate him to drink one pill of fluoxetin per day. By this time he arrived, Alfred asked to him:

"How was therapy?"

"Fine." Bruce answered in a bad humor.

Then when Bruce started to walk upstairs, Alfred said to him:

"Joe Chill killed himself..."

Then Bruce stopped:

"What?"

"They found the body, tomorrow morning, Joe Chill killed himself in this afternoon he left a letter saying he couldn't stand anymore living that way and how killing your parents and now starring to you trying to kill him, that's not what he planned to."

After that revelation, Bruce went shocked and asked:

"So there's no court anymore? He's dead?"

"Yes, unfortunetely, he is."

So, then, Bruce started to walk out again and Alfred said:

"Before you go, someone delivered a letter for you. Some man, named Ra's al Ghul or something like that..."

Then Bruce read the letter and said: "Meet me at the Bambinos 9pm."

After Bruce read it he said:

"Thank you, Alfred."

So he went at the Bambinos 9pm, then it appeared a man with some beard and a rakusu. Then he sat and said:

"Well, goodnight, Mr. Wayne."

"Goodnight..." said Bruce back.

"So what you're gonna eat or are you gonna eat nothing?"

"What's the reason you're here, what you want from me?"

"Well... First of all let me introduce myself... My name is Ra's al Ghul. I'm the leader of what you could call the League of Shadows. I saw you at the news and found you really interesting, how did you approached so quickly to Joe Chill?"

"What do you want from me?"

"Hummm I don't know, like I've said I found you really interesting and we were really fascinating from you to join us. There's some girl in my group that are from here too... Hmmm... Selina Kylie, maybe is her name?"

"From the Kylie family?"

"Yes, that's it."

"But that's impossible the Kylie family died in a fire six years ago..."

"Well, nothing is impossible. Specially, in Gotham City..."

"So you want me to join in your group?"

"Well, I don't see you have any other opportunity since everyone is talking to you about it now, and even I saw from your file that you're skipping class so usually these days."

"But, I can't do this... I'm not a killer..."

"Well, that's not Joe Chill would think..."

"But Joe Chill killed himself, it was not me..."

"Indirectly, you killed him..."

Then the dinner table stayed silent.

"Think about the possibility. Tomorrow I'll be on the deck 42 at 5am, if you want to coming in..."

Then after that Bruce looked at the card and then Ra's al Ghul vanished away.

He started to think about it any different times if it was the right thing or not until he decided to join the league.

So he started to wrotte a letter to Alfred, and suddenly at 4am he got out of the house and asked the driver to let him went to the deck 42 paying some tips for it.

Afterwards he joined Ra's al Ghul and suddenly entered at the League of Shadows.

When he arrived at the League, Ra's al Ghul smiled to him and said:

"I know you would come."

"Well, so where we will go?"

"Himalaia..." said Ra's al Ghul.

After some days of trip they arrived in Himalaia.

When Bruce arrived at the temple, Ra's al Ghul said:

"So, here we are..."

"Ohhh finally, it was hard to climb all this mountains..."

"Yeah, I guess you are really tired tomorrow we begin your training..."

"Ok."

"Take some rest, ignore the bats in the night, there's a lot of them over here..."

"Ok."

Then Bruce stayed at a túnel to start his training there was a lot of bats like Ra's al Ghul said to him, but he knew that was necessary to take a sleep.

One day after, he woke up with Ra's al Ghul saying:

"Woke up, kid, it's 5AM. Time to training..."

Then he put a vest to start fight.

When he arrived there was a lot of members starring at him.

"So, your first adversary, will be nothing more and nothing less than Selina Kylie..." whispered Ra's al Ghul.

"Attention! Everyone! We had a new member in our league! So as our tradition! We are gonna present him with a fight with one of our most skilful fighters! Everyone is ready?!"

"Yeahhhhh!" a lot of man screamed.

"So, for this time, I introduce his fight against one of our most skillful fighters... Ladies and gentlemen, Selina Kylie!"

"Yeahhhh!" all the man screamed.

When Selina arrived, Bruce stayed enchanted with her. She had a blonde hair, green eyes, a ponytail and was with a vest stiked to her body, different of the rest.

"So... Humm... Nice to meet you, you are from Gotham aren't...?" and then Bruce started to introduce himself and Selina gives her first hit with the legs put him in the floor.

Then she smiled and said:

"I already know who you are, Bruce Wayne! Now it's time for fight! Get up!"

Then he smiled back and tried to get up, but received another hit from Selina on the stomach.

Afterwards, he started to saw how things are and suddenly got up on the floor.

As time went by, he started to gain more techniques from the League of The Shadows.

They sometimes killed, stealed some villages around, specially Selena habillities are more from that and training how to fight.

And that's how two years went throught...
