Gotham City, 1979

After the death of the Commissioner Gillian Loeb, it was confirmed that he commited suicide with his own tie on that day. The Batman, Jim Gordon and FBI agent were looking forward the location of Rupert Thorne's crime family during this time.

"So, what now?!" asked Jim Gordon.

Then the Batman looked at him and to the FBI agent and said:

"We are gonna wait, we need to elaborate a plan to attract Rupert Thorne to it."

"Yeah, I agree." said the FBI agent. "If we divulgate his death to the press, probably Thorne would know that we're searching for him..."

"So, we are not gonna divulgate it?"

"Not for a while, Mr. Gordon." said the FBI agent. "We need a plan."

"But that's madness, how the police station would be working, without everyone knowing?"

"Liutenant..." said Batman trying to calm him.

"I haven't said that, Liutenant." said the FBI agent. "I said that we are not going to divulgate on the time being, we need a plan and know where Rupert Thorne is hiden first..."

Meanwhile, Rupert Thorne was on his office with his henchmen looking at the local newspaper, while smoking a cigar. The news about Gillian Loeb being the main suspect of Harvey's murder went too fast on the city.

"That bastard! I know he was not trustable for this work! Now we are all fucked!" screamed Rupert Throne on his poltrone.

Rupert Thorne was an old man around his 60s, he used to wear a green sweater and a black suit. He had a gray hair slipped back.

After he said that on his poltrone, one of his henchmen approached to him and tried to calm down him:

"Easy boss, maybe he won't say nothing..."

"How do you wanna me to be easy, Simon?! That bastard was caught by the cops and thanks to me who sent him to kill Harvey Dent..." said Rupert Throne on an angry note.

"Well, maybe Simon is right, boss..." said Frankie, one of his other henchmen's "We need just to wait and see..."

Then Rupert Thorne took a deep breath and said:

"Ok, then, maybe you both are right. But I don't like this idea at all. Now get out of my office!"

So the henchmen left Rupert Thorne's office and he started smoking more of his cigar.

He said to himself:

"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about that..."

Meanwhile, The Batman went to the Comissioneer Office and started to investigate the documents on the desk to see if he could find any clue. At this the FBI agent knocked off the door and said:

"We already tried to find any file that could give us a hint of Rupert Thorne's current location..."

"That's impossible! It should've any hint of it!"

"Go to rest in your house, little boy..." asked the FBI agent. "Let the cops take care of it right in this moment..."

Then the Batman look at him and said in an angry note:

"Don't say to me when that criminal is still out there! I won't let it up until we get him!"

"So, what you gonna do right now?! Get him?! Look, you already made a great job since here, so now get rest and forget about it! You're just so young to envolve in things like this... And also, this is a police's work, I could even arrested you for violating a crime scene like this!"

Then the Batman look seriously at him and said:

"Ok, so good luck trying to arrest me, but I won't give up about this!"

So, The Batman left the Comissioneer's desk and the FBI agent complained about him:

"Oh, how stubborn is that boy!"

Meanwhile, in the Wayne's mansion, Alfred got in contact with Lucius Fox worried about Bruce.

"I don't know, Lucius" said him. "I'm so worried about Bruce lately, it's been a while since he left here and went to work and didn't get any news about what he have been doing... I don't know, I'm so affraid he could've been involving to drugs like the old times..."

"Alfred, Bruce is not a child anymore. He's now a grown up man, I know he's doing his best for his life and for The Wayne Enterprises."

"I know that, Lucius, I know. But I'm so worried about him. I don't know it's just a feeling. Something is not right about this story..."

"Well, I think you should not worry about him. He's not that 16 year old kid anymore, he's now a grown up man."

"Well, maybe you're right, Lucius it's just a feeling, but do you mind to check if he's doing all his work correctly? Just for precaution."

"I'm affraid I can't do this, Alfred. You know that. It should violate his privacy..."

"I understand that, Lucius. But, I don't know, he's coming back here so much late, I don't even see him arriving, even Thomas who used to work a lot, used to come home earlier than him..."

"Yes, that's weird, Alfred. But maybe the boy is just efforting himself a lot with the Enterprises, he get used to it, don't put so much pressure on him because of his past mistakes..."

"Yeah, maybe you're right, Lucius, but that doesn't mean I don't suspect about him... There's something really strange around this story..."

Meanwhile, The Batman decided to visit The Joker on the Arkaham Asylium.

The Joker was sitten on the chair when he entered.

"Well, well, seems the Bat returns back to here. Hahahhahaha" said him.

"What do you know about Rupert Thorne?" asked The Batman.

"About who?" asked The Joker back.

"Don't play dumb, I know that you know him. If you doesn't how could you be so sure about the Comissioner..."

Then The Joker approached to him and said:

"Do you wanna hear a joke, Bat Boy?" asked The Joker.

The Batman remained quiet.

"You know what a cat lady acrossing the street has to do with a bunch of burglars assaulting a bank house?!"

So, The Batman kept listening the joke.

"Nothing. Hahhahahah. That's it! Sometimes life's just a big coincidence. That's the biggest joke of it all." then he started to laughing so hard.

Then the Batman started to get mad and said angrily:

"I don't believe in you!"

"Why? 'Cause you think I had anything to do with Big Bad Harv's death and fighting against the mafia of Gotham? Hahhahahaha. Yeah maybe you're right I was a gangster...In my past life! Hahahhahhaha."

Then The Batman started to get mad and gave a punch on the wall of The Joker's cell.

"Oh that was hard Bat Boy. Hahhahahahah." provoked The Joker.

"Where's Rupert Thorne?"

"You know I had no idea who you are talking about. Hahahahaha. Rupert who? Corn? Hahahahahah."

Then The Batman gave another punch on the wall.

"Where's him?"

"Hahahahahahahah." the Joker couldn't stop to laugh to provoke The Batman.

"Where's he?!" screamed The Batman.

At this time, the guards appeared and took forceously The Batman to the Asylium.

"Your time is over, Bat Boy!" said one of the guards. Then they grabbed on The Batman's arms.

"Look, you're just being taken over by the cops. You're just a joke, Bat Boy. Just like me! Hahahahahha!"

"Where's he?!" screamed The Batman so hard again, writhing himself.

"Sir, your time is over!" said one of the guards again.

"No, I want to know where Rupert Thorne is! Let me go!"

"Hahahahahahha. You know, Bat Boy, now I understand Norman Bates when he said that 'we all go a little mad sometimes' hahahahahahah!"

So, The Batman was forceusly taken out by the guards on The Asylium.

Afterwards, The Batman was taken out of The Asylium by the guards, and made the guards release his arms.

"Let me go!" he said feriously to the guards.

Then, he started to walking and thought with himself:

"Maybe the Joker was right he had nothing to do with that... It was such a waste of time..."

So, he started to searching for more places on Gotham where he could find any clue about where Rupert Thorne is.

Firstly, he entered on the Sal Maroni's former Casino looking forward any clue about it, there he found a messy room, with all the money confiscated and a pile of paper on the floor. Then, he started to search for more, but haven't found anything. Afterwards he found an article there where it said about a partnership of Rupert Thorne and Sal Maroni in business a long time ago. So he grabbed it and kept on his pocket.

So, he started to search more and more for clues around the city and decided to went on Maroni's formely mansion.

The place seemed abandoned over the time and there was a board written "For Sale" on the gate.

So, precausly he entered there.

Meanwhile, in a place near to there, it lived Frankie, one Rupert Thorne's henchmen, he was smooking a lot of marijuana on his bedroom and then decided to leave it and gave a walk.

In the living room, he found his mom fainted on the sofa with some bruises around her body.

There, also, it was his abusive step dad drinking beer and he said:

"What do you want, little boy?!"

"I'm gonna give a walk with my friends..."

"Huh, your friends?" said him in a sarcastic way "What friends?"

"Some friends I have on here..." said Frankie scared "What have you done to my mom?!"

So, the step father got up from his chair and said in an intimidating way:

"Why do you ask, little boy?! Your mom never teached you to not meddler in other people's business?!"

So, he started to approached him and Frankie started to got scaried and scaried. After that, he took his belt off his pants and said:

"I'm gonna teach you a lesson!"

So, he started to beat on Frankie over and over. He used to do that all the time, but Frankie was little scaried.

Even being a henchmen of Rupert Thorne, Frankie was still a young blonde boy of 20 years old.

After a while, he stopped beating on Frankie and insulted him:

"You should be ashamed to be your mother's son, little boy. I'm gonna sleep now!" and he left the scene.

So, Frankie approached to his mom, full of bruises and promised:

"I promise I'll take us out of here, mom, I swear!"

So, he gave her a kiss in the cheek and started to cry.

Some while later, he left the residence where he used to leave and started to walk, after passing around the Sal Maroni's former mansion he saw a shadow around there entering on the house and then he recognized it. That was Batman.

So, he left a smile on his face and said in a sadistic way:

"Now, it's time for you to die, Bat Boy!"

At the same time, Bruce entered on the massion and started to searching for any clue that could give Rupert Thorne's whereabouts, he found again another newspaper which it said about the high class of Gotham City and there it was Sal Maroni sitting with Rupert Thorne and another older man, so much older than him which it couldn't seen directly because there was a circle around his face and targeted with a "x".

So, he searched for more and saw Sal Maroni's notebook under the bed where he used to put all his obligors and the quantity of money they needed to pay.

In the medium of the mansion, also he found hidden, in the middle of a wooden wall, a safe box. And so he decided to opened it.

There was a combination of 4 numbers on there from 1-9 that he should try to unlocked it. After some while thinking, he started to wondering about the numbers of Maroni's journal: it all ended with 3-4 maybe that's the sequence, so he put 3, then 4 and then realized the first numbers always were 2-5 and so he put 3425, but it didn't opened. So he tried again and put on the opposite order, but it didn't happened again so. After a while searching, he found the answer in the paper it was 2435 and then it opened.

In the safe box there was some informations about Sal Maroni plans over the years against The Roman Crime Family that he didn't know who they were at that moment and more about his partnership with the Thorne's Crime Family. So he saw a photo there it was again Sal Maroni and Rupert Thorne both shaking their hands in a club house, but he couldn't know for sure where it was located.

So, he picked the paper and left the house with it.

When he picked his motorcycle he started being followed by Frankie in the car.

"Now, I got you, Bat!" said Frankie to himself.

At this time, Bruce started getting more suspiscious about if he was being followed.

So, he decided to make a different way to police to see if the car would followed and indeed it was.

Then he started to run and so did Frankie.

At the same time, Frankie picked his riffle, rolled down the car window and screamed:

"It's time for you to die, Bat!"

So, he started to shoting in his direction, but he desviated from the bullets.

After that, all the other people in the cars saw the shots and started getting on panic and then, ran against it.

So, one of the cars hitted The Batman in the motorcycle and left him on the floor.

Then, Frankie pulled over the car and started to walking around in direction to The Batman.

"Now, I'm gonna teach you a lesson of what happens with who messes up with Thorne here in Gotham City!"

The time he pointed his gun to shot on Bruce, Bruce disappeared and left the place.

So he started to searching and said:

"What? Where did this Bat go?"

Then he turned around and Batman attacked him immediatelly left him disnorted.

So, the gun left on the floor and quickly he tried to pick, but the Batman picked it earlier.

Afterwards he said:

"I don't wanna do this, but you had gave me any choice!"

"Well, let see if you are good in fact, Bat loser!" screamed Frankie.

Then he pulled a knife and attacked The Batman, but them Bruce deviated from him and took the knife also around it.

So, Frankie fell on the floor and The Batman grabbed him on the neck.

"Who are you?" asked him.

"It's not of you business!" said Frankie.

Then Bruce broke one of his arm and he screamed so hard and then he said:

So, The Batman asked:

"Where's he?"

"Do you think I'm gonna tell you something, huh?!"

Then Bruce broke another of his arms and said:

"You come along with me..."

Then he arrested him with a rope and took him to the police station.

When they arrived there, the FBI started to look to him and then The Batman said:

"He knows where Throne is."

In the questioning room, the police officers started to question him and said:

"Do you know about, Thorne, Mr.?"

"No, I don't have idea who he is."

Then The Batman punched on his face and he started.

"Ok, Mr, do you are gonna leave this Bat faggot beat me?!"

So, FBI said to The Batman calm down and then took him out of the interrogatory.

"Look, I don't wanna do this, but you're not giving me any choice to believe in you. What are you doing around Maroni's formely mansion house earlier today? And why were you following him?"

"I live there around..."

Then The FBI agent started to look at him and he said crying:

"Please, just don't say anything about it to my mom or my step dad... I don't even know what he could do to me..."

"Your step dad...?" asked the FBI agent intrigued about him.

"Yeah, he uses to... Listen I know it's bullshit, I don't have any idea what I'm doing here..."

"Hey, Mr., that's ok to tell me about it. Nothing bad is gonna happen to your mom, I promise you..." the FBI agent tried to calm down him.

"Oh, thanks, sir. My step dad, he uses to... Beat her and in me." said Frankie with a weak. "He's not a great step dad..." said Frankie crying.

"That's ok, boy..."

"I didn't even wanna to participate this, you know?! But I didn't found any choice, my uncle Simon is one of Thorne's right arm and he promised me that he is going to make this bastard pay for all of his crimes...Please, just say nothing bad is gonna happen to me..."

"I'm not quiet sure of that, boy. But I'm trying to do my best, so you need to tell me where is Rupert Thorne hidden?"

"Look, I can't, sir. Rupert Thorne has been one of the nicest people I've ever known of from a long time..."

"So, I don't see any choice..."

"Ok, ok, he's in the Tobacconist Club in the old Gotham City..."

"The gentleman club?!" asked Jim Gordon intrigued.

"Yes, that's it, sir."

So, the Batman was in the other place waiting for the questioning and then the FBI agent left and said:

"We found the place where Thorne is. It seems to be in the old Gotham City in the Tobacconist Club."

Then the Batman got surprised and he said:

"Listen, you should be more careful on what you do and how to do it. He's just a little boy, Batman, just like you! I don't know what's your problem, but I didn't like at all of your behavior on that room, so I think it's better for you to not going there. Let us revolve this from now on..." The FBI told him off.

"But, sir..."

"No, that's not that, "sir". That's too dangerous you should know with that, you're playing with fire, boy, and I'm pretty sure you're not ready for this service!"

Then the Batman took a deep breath and said:

"I'm ready, sir. I promise I won't do this again on the next people, I promise... Just let me go with you..."

So, the FBI agent looked at him and said:

"I'm sorry, boy, but I can't..."

And then the FBI agent give him a back.

In the Tobacconist Club, there was Ruppert Thorne sitting on the chair and screaming:

"Where's the boy?!"

"I searched for him in his house, but I haven't found him, sir..." said Simon worried.

"Goddamn it! Do you think they found him, Simon? That bastards!"

Then one of the henchmen appeared on the door and screamed:

"The police is here, sir!"

So, Simon opened the door and the FBI agent said:

"Do I talk to Frankie's uncle, Simon?!"

"Yes, what's the matter?!" asked Simon a little bit suspicious.

"Sir, you're under arrest with all the rest of the henchmens and Thorne! Surrender now or else..."

Then Simon loaded his gun secrently and said:

"Ok, ok..."

Then he put his two hands in the air and quickly picked the weapon and shot in one of the FBI Agents and killed.

So, The FBI agent said:

"FBI, Jim Gordon, now!"

And then it started a massive gunfire.

The cops started to lose his strength.

After a while, the Batman appeared and attacked all of the criminals.

Then Jim gave a happy face founding him:

"Bat!"

Then The Batman captured all the criminals around and the FBI agent said in a serious tone:

"Good work, son."

After they entered in the office they tried to found where Thorne was hidden but he wasn't nowhere there. He left the scene.

"Where's he?!" asked the FBI agent.

"I don't know..." said Jim Gordon.

"Maybe he escape during the gunfire..." said The Batman.

There was late night when the gunfire happened. Later on the night, the cops arrested Rupert Thorne's henchmen and also Frankie's stepdad. Then, some hours later, after all of this happened, Rupert Thorne appeared after a while in a mansion terrified.

"Please, please, let me in!" said him bending his knee.

So, the guards of the mansion opened the gate for him.

Then he came directed in the office accompained by some henchmen who grabbed him in the arm and then leave him on the floor.

"We found, this man here, my lord, The Roman. He says he knows you."

In the office there was a bodyguard standing up close to the window along with another man sat in the office.

The man, sat in the office ressembled to be really elder, with his 70s years old, gray hair and full of warts around his body. He was also tall and used to wear a very elegant smoke and was smoking a cigar when Rupert Thorne came out.

"Please, Mr. Falcone, help me..."

"Look who came to my office offering help?" said him with an italian accent.

"Please, Mr. Falcone, I beg you, help me for the good of our houses..."

Then Rupert Thorne started to crying and the Falcone's bodyguard slaped him on the face.

So, Falcone got up from his chair and approached to him and said:

"Do you have the audacity to come here after all these years, asking me for help after betraying me to that bastard of Salvatore Maroni?! Por favore, mio amico!"

"Yes, I know I committed a very great mistake around you. But please, forgive me for that, I beg you. For the good of our families..."

"Do you beg me?! You know, Rupert? Do you have any idea how sad I was when you betrayed me for that bastard?! How I considered you as an ally, as a friend, and now do you wanna me to forgive you? What a pitty..." said Falcone in a sarcastic way.

"These vigilants are destroying our families. First it was Maroni's, now mine, then it will be yours. Please, let me help." said Rupert trying to convince Thorne.

Then Carmine Falcone turned his back and started to think and said:

"You know, mio amico, maybe you're right... Now please stand up!"

So, Rupert Thorne standed up and Falcone started to caress his neck with a smile on his face.

After a while, his faces changed and he started to get angry, then he grabbed Thorne's neck and started to choking him until his death.

Then, Rupert Thorne fainted on the floor and passed away immedientely after being strangled by Carmine Falcone.
