Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Batman. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Batman; DC and a few others do.
What did it mean to be Insane in Gotham? What was the difference between simply a misguided criminal? And a monster on par with the worst humanity had to offer.
"So… This is the great Gotham City." The voice stated to himself as he looked upon the cesspit of a city. "The city of the bat." He stated while he shook his head.
"Hmm…" He added as he slowly stepped back from the edge of the building. "Why is so much madness in this city? This entire city is corrupted, yet it's constantly has a guardian." He put in while stepping back into the shadows.
He knew for a fact that things that had drawn him to the city, the man was sent for a purpose only he knew. Still? To be here meant being under the vigil of the bat… And he had not made up his mind if he was the bat's enemy when it came down to it.
"The bat…!" He hissed, clutching at his helmeted head. "The monster that keeps the animals in the cage!" He roared as he leapt down, the pavement cracked under him.
He slowly stalked into the shadows, covering his silverish blue armor which he had been given… Or was it taken? He could never truly seem to recall when it came down to it… It did not matter to him.
Still? Things had been made far more interesting. He had heard stories of Gotham, it had drawn him to it, and now? Now he wanted to know what made the city tick. Maybe that made him a monster, a creature of evil just like the fiends who walked the city.
Or he could be rather heroic, he remembered battles that had given his life meaning. He had aided the innocent before, it would NOT be the first time he would truly be in control of goodness.
"Wight, must be Wight!" He stated to himself before straightening up. "No, the mission will come first, the mission will always come first." Wight stated to himself.
"Wight?" Wight questioned himself before he remembered something.
Yes, his friends, the one that had been killed… So, he hunted the killer, it had gotten him sent home… Or was that because of the pains in his brain? He couldn't really think of anything in his mind at the moment.
"Wight, must be Wight!" Wight said as he slowly paced back and forth, constantly curious of what his purpose was. "No, must find them. Find the enemy, confront the enemy." Wight added as he thought about his next move.
"They hurt her, so I hunted them… But now they're all gone." Wight said and held a hand up to his head. "I still have to help, have to serve them. Protect them from the danger." Wight added before he closed his eyes.
He pushed the thoughts from his head. Wight had come here for a reason that hurt his brain. Now he didn't know anything besides that he wanted to fight.
"Find the madness, investigate what made the madness." Wight stated as he hummed and slowly started to look once more at the city.
Gotham had drawn him here. Wight wanted to figure out if it was just something his mind brought up. It had to be that, or he had a real mission that his family had sent him here.
"I do have a mission, and pain or not?" Wight questioned as he clenched his fist. "I'm going to handle it." Wight added as the lenses on his armor slowly closed.
Wight slowly stepped down from the building, deploying the suit's claws as he did so which dug into the stone. He landed in a crouch in the back alley and slowly stepped out of the shadows, curious as to if the bat had known.
"No, why wouldn't he? He knows everything in his town." Wight stated to himself.
All he had was the name from the military, he needed to recall more about himself. More about what his life would be.
That of a monster like he was nicknamed after… Or that of a hero, clawing out the scars on his brain.
Wight didn't know that just like he couldn't recall his mission. But he would in time.
Author Notes
Phew. First chapter done! I want to point out I plan on updating these stories soon. Next chapter will end up being in 2-10 months and will show more about who Wight is and such. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: Next chapter is 1200-1500 words and Arkham Knight from the comics is a main character in this story.
