Chapter 2 Flashforward
AN: Expect some more OCs who are based on other characters from other anime, mostly from RWBY and one is in this chapter. Enjoy :)
A few months have passed since the deaths of Warren and Markus McGinnis, and the family had mourn deeply their losses. This great tragedy changed Terry and became something different after a struggle to later steal something from a confident old man. But afterward and fully, he became the New Dark Knight, the Tomorrow Knight - Batman.
Terry vowed on his father and brother's graves that he would their killers pay, behind bars for the rest of their lives. Fixx pays the price and dies on the first night. The Joker person was still at large. And the last person, Derek Powers, was the teen's main target. His father and brother's spirit won't be at peace until that bastard is exposed for all of his crimes and spend all of his life in a cell. Of course, he wasn't going to stop being Batman after that. No, there's work that needs to be done and Gotham would always need a Batman, no matter what people say about or against it.
Unknown to the Tomorrow Knight, not everything stays buried further and the past will catch up to him in the future very soon.
Somewhere in Gotham - Hidden Safe House
By the far side of Gotham City, in a safe house which was a very nice style home and we see a training room being in use. We see a young man with black hair with some white streaks forming within it due to the trauma but overcome it and his purple eyes were iron clad. The eyes of someone that lost something and be damn to allow it to happen again. On his face, there were some battle scars that had healed. He wore a white workout shirt, black pants, and shoes while doing some weight training, showing his muscles were improving.
Markus was founded that night, that very day that changed his life into who he was becoming. He becomes a person with a thirst for vengeance and won't hold back against those in power and corrputed in Gotham. Just like the very man that saved him those months ago.
That person, the second/former Robin later returned from the dead and became the notorious Red Hood, Jason Todd himself. He was still doing vigilante work, but under the radar, and did not get the attention of a certain bitch commissioner in the police office. He heard about Powers was sending someone to kill Warren and went to stop but was too late and became shocked when he saw Markus who was crawling out of the ruined & burn to build his former home.
Jason can remember that day when he saved Markus and his reaction. His eyes were like his own, the face of despair and hunger for revenge. He took the black-haired teen and help fake his death by using a burned body that matched his height while having the teen's blood to throw off anyone thinking otherwise.
Markus was given brutal training after he fully recovered and was determined to have his vengeance. His vengeance on crime, Powers, the police that are corrupted, those that are corrupted in, and a certain Joker as well. And on his brother who's Batman now.
Yes, Jason had told Markus all about the Bat-Family, Bruce to other former Robins, himself, and all about the secrets down to Terry is the Tomorrow Knight.
"Good kid. Take ten, then we do marksman training to finish up with today," A male voice said, showing it was now a mature and well-aged Jason, who looked in his prime a bit despite some would disagree with that.
Jason had discovered that he aged much slower due to certain pits effects on him when being brought back to life. He may not look old but he can feel it and might retire after getting his successor ready to take on the mantle. He had to make sure the kid was ready and damn well be ready for any kind of war that comes at him.
"Yes sir...," Markus said, taking some deep breaths to catch his breath again and drink a whole bottle of water down.
"You are pushing the kid hard, Jason," This time, a female voice said, showing to be the beautiful yet deadly Amazon left in the world of men, Artemis of Bana-Mighdall or sometimes Artemis Todd after getting married to Jason.
Jason and Artemis had a deep history with each other from just sparing, butting heads, doing patrols, and later as part of Outlaws. That relationship quickly went from sparing partners, friends, and lovers much faster but they love each other and can keep the other from being reckless in more ways than one.
"I have to, red. Markus didn't have that kind of training that Bruce gives me until that faithful day...and coming back. He needs that training and be ready as I know for sure that bitch, Gordon, won't hesitate to kill him when he dons my mantle. I made a lot of enemies," Jason explained.
"We both did, Jason. And we both made up to those that give a damn about us. We even went to their wedding, remember?" Artemis smirked, knowing that she was right.
"True. I never thought I would see Bruce, Diana, and Selina that happy with each other. And how you would happy to catch the flowers," Jason pointed out with a smirk of his own and was surprised to see the man that was very much like a father to him married to two women that can be strongly his mothers, true ones than his birth one that basically sold him for drugs.
"It was a challenge for Hera's sake. Marriage is a big deal for my people and if anyone was going to get married next, then it was going to be one of the strongest Amazons," Artemis said with pride, getting her husband to chuckle at that in amusement.
"True, I saw it to believe it," Jason commented.
Jason and Artemis then look back to see Markus stopping his break early and getting some of his choices of firearms. His were pistols, rifles, and so on to know a feel for them all. The fire rang wad down below the training room and had good wall protection so that the sound of gunshots won't echo throughout the whole safe house. The black-haired teen reminded them so much of a certain old bat and themselves greatly, training hard for the goal and fight against corruption. It was not hard for them to see him as their son and he see them as his parent figures. It wasn't hard at all.
"Hey mom, dad. Where's that little man?" A new voice asked, getting the pair's attention and seeing their daughter before them.
She had red hair in a long ponytail much like her mother's and green eyes while also having a body that showed possessed training of a true warrior, fitting for an amazon. Her figure can put any other female to shame with long legs which made her pretty tall, with wide hips and yet slim waist, and also a pair of pretty large breasts that could almost any man turn his head towards her.
Her attire was fitting for her Amazon nature and warrior, a pure spartan armor attire, and carried her weapon of choice, a spear by her side.
This was Pyrrha, the daughter of Jason and Artemis, while a fellow parnter of Markus took after her name by calling him a little man.
"Marksman training, Pyrrha," Jason replied.
"Then I would wait for him," Pyrrha said, crossing her arms and placing her spear away for the time being.
"For what?" Artemis asked, wondering what her daughter was thinking.
"Weapon training and I want to kick that smug grin of his," Pyrrha said with a frown and didn't like how that black-haired teen can get underneath her skin these days.
Artemis smirked at that, knowing what her daughter had planned when hand-to-hand combat training. After all, she did the same with Jason.
"Just...just try not to break bones," Jason said, rubbing the back of his head.
"I won't...I don't what him to be in pain," Pyrrha informed, showing she did care about him.
"Good," Artemis said while having a strong idea what her daughter might do but wait and she can tell Pyrrha was warming up to Markus, quite a bit.
"After those training, we have some dinner, I am in the mood for something fancy tonight," Jason admitted, being the best cook.
"And check the news? You know more sightings of that brat would most likely come," Artemis said, knowing that some media would show sightings of the New Batman and she wasn't impressed with the said bat.
Jason hummed in that and knowing all about that. I mean what the hell Bruce was thinking of letting some crocky kid be Batman? Hell Markus is a way better choice but some things are out of control and different for them. Terry is the Dark Knight, a symbol of fear towards the corrupted and hope towards the people that lost. Markus would become something else, a symbol of the rebirth of those cursed by anger and hate for those that wrong many, a pure vengeance one.
Markus would become the next man under the hood and his brother would face a big reckoning in the upcoming future.
