SHADOW
Terry drives the bat mobile through the city streets like a bat out of hell. Pushing the vehicle to its limits. The roar echoes through the streets letting the citizens' know that the dark knight has returned.
The hero that they need has at long last come back. His hands grip the steering wheel as if it was a part of him. People glance outside of their windows to catch a glimpse of the vehicle only to be struck with utter shock.
A little girl looks to her mother and speaks the words. "Mommy, what is that?"
Her mother not able to form any other sentence other than.
"That's The Batman."
Pushing a few buttons upon his dash controls releasing electromagnetic pulse bombs ejected from the side ports of the car, they explode and kill the batteries of the police vehicles chasing him.
Terry has an idea of where Inque is. Given her starting location and the area surrounding the immediate area, there are only 3 buildings she could have gone to. Two of those buildings are still functioning manufacturing corporate owned pharmaceutical buildings. The final and last is a rundown out of date clothing factory.
She must be in that building. Her only option.
"It's a thunder storm tonight. She would never try to travel in this type of wet storm."
This is his chance to bring her in. To show himself that even without his suit. He can bring in a dangerous criminal with no true effort. However...
"She didn't kill anyone today... she didn't kill anyone for the last four years... no court in the world would lock her up for more than three months... the most she has done is breaking and entering... G.C.P.D. isn't going to do anything with her... has she gotten smarter in her method?"
This can't be right... as he starts to remember all of her evil actions. Terry begins to remember the fact that... she has never killed anyone. Yes she did and has hurt people. But never kill.
A warning light shines upon his dashboard signifying that a chopper has locked on to the bat mobile, prepared to fire upon it with a grappling hook. Terry smiles with a slightly amused grin. "Try this."
He pushes the turbo booster, activating the jet thrust function of the vehicle. A loud pop hits the city as the car breaks the sound barrier. Shooting him past everything and all buildings. He then presses the eject button shooting himself out of the car.
Terry spreads his wings and observes the city below him. Gliding just like Bruce use to.
THE BAT MAN.
He aims himself as the rain hits his cape. As the rain hits his body. He speaks a single word.
"Sonar."
Two lenses move over his eyes and activate in a blue function. Allowing him to watch over the city. He looks for the single building that Inque is using. The only building she could use.
...
"I'm hungry."
Inque says out loud. Holding her belly. She has tried to sleep and tried to distract herself with anything and everything inside this building. But the simple fact is... She needs to eat. Honestly... she hasn't had anything to eat in the last 3 days.
Nobody would sell her anything. She tried to snag a fish once, but the cops had been too close to the area. And last time she tried to walk into a grocery store and take a pre made five credit chicken the security guard almost spotted who she was, so she just placed the item on a shelf and walked out.
A crack above her is noticed. The sound of glass cracking.
Inque sits up and looks at the glass ceiling. She can see a shadow move around above. Only one name comes to mind.
"Batman."
She gets off the couch and rises to her feet with a bit of frustration.
"That little twirp isn't going to let me have any rest. How did he find me? No matter, I have to figure out how I can deal with him."
Looking around she gets an idea. It's night, and the darkness is her ally. Her best friend. She can take the form of any shadow within this building. If she can stay quiet and not blow her cover, maybe she can make him think that she's not here. Maybe... things will be alright.
Terry walks to the edge of the building's rooftop and jumps off, landing in a puddle of water. It splashes all over as raindrops hit his suit. His cape covering his shoulders as he rises from the ground, slowly her turns and faces the wooden door to this abandoned factory.
He places an explosive compound on the lock. Covering himself with the cape as he presses a button, blowing the doors open.
Walking into the warehouse he looks around. Already thinking that Inque has taken the form of a shadow. And adopted the form of darkness to hide from his sight.
However, she can't hide from sound frequency.
"Sonar." He whispers as two pitch black lenses cross over his eyes emitting a high pitch frequency, illuminating his vision by several thousand variations. Nothing can hide from him now. And nothing will.
Inque looks upon the new... or more rather... old school Batman suit. The original. She calculates what he is doing. His eyes covered by two lenses emanating light.
"Looking for me are you?"
She thinks to herself. And she figures that he must have a full layout of the building by now. Leaving her with a few seconds before he spots he.
"He's really grown up. And filled in the spaces in his body."
She smiles a little bit as she watches him work. As she moves around him and forms a perfect replication of his own shadow. This... is the best chance she's got. The only thing his Sonar will not calculate. His own shadow.
