[Bruce Batman]

I listened to the children playing inside the manor, some were older than most of those around them, none of them were older than twelve, my footsteps echoed through the halls.

In the past this mansion would have caused most children to be afraid, each corner had one shadow or the manor itself felt so empty that it seemed that you were the only person in the entire world.

None of them showed any signs of fear, even though I was now walking down the stairs, none of the children seemed to care, they just avoided me as I walked passed them.

My help screen gave a light beep and I noticed that my older self had sent me two versions of my Batsuit, one was an advanced power suit and the other was nothing more than light armor.

The colors were dark gray and instead of the usual bat symbol, that I wore, the emblem was smaller and on his shoulders rather than on my chest.

I finally step out of the manor but the door doesn't close, after a moment a young woman with short black hair, and silver eyes began to walk next to me, she wore a black dress, something I have seen before, everything about her said that she was experienced in combat.

Her manner of walking, her dress, the knee-high boots on her feet all spoke of a certain level of experience.

"Terry said you would need someone to keep you out of trouble" she said to me with a voice that sounded unusually cheerful for these times.

"There are two rules for men in Gotham, one stay away from any single woman, two-run if you feel eyes on you" she said to me.

"..."

"Are you from Terry's time or are you from another world?" I asked her.

"Imm from a world name Remnant, and no I don't know if anyone else from my world is here...there was no point in looking for anyone when we were all fighting."

"You know, we could have distracted each other while one of us was fighting or worse, so I'll start looking for them in a few days." she answered me, her voice losing some of its warmth as she spoke.

We finally left the grounds of the mansion, however, instead of leading me to one of the many cars parked outside she just walks past all of them, I followed her considering I honestly don't know how much things have changed.

We turned the corner and I stopped walking, the sight in front of me is a city made in chaos, some buildings can be considered technological marvels, there are gaps between them, and yet the buildings don't fall, they are just stacked on top of one another.

There are buildings I recognize and there are buildings that look so outdated that I briefly wondered why anyone would bother to use those designs, to begin with.

I started walking again, as the young woman walked in front of me, after ten maybe twelve minutes of walking we entered the city, there were cars, restaurants and anything a typical city would have, but it was all empty.

There weren't even rats or rotting corpses on the streets.

Just empty building.

"You said that if I felt eyes on me I should run, why?" I asked her.

"Those are the Grimm, they were the biggest threat in my world, they hunt anything angry or depressed, so if you see them that means their either hunting something or you're their target."

"Legion creatures are all made of negative emotions, so the Grimm attack them the moment they come near the city." she explained to me.

"Why is the city so empty?"

"Everyone was fighting" she immediately answered me.

"Bruce I'm a doctor and I can tell you that unless your covered in maggots but are still alive you are not going to be sent back to rest" she said to me as if it was only natural.

She stops walking. 'The lights are on" she said out loud before she reached to her back and drew a pistol that had been hanging from it.

"I thought the war had ended?" I asked her.

"It has, but everyone still hast comeback, their either eating, sleeping, fucking or saying goodbye" she answered me, as we walked towards an apartment building.

I'm tempted to put on the armor but it's better that I don't, I still don't know what precautions are waiting for me should I break one of the unwritten laws of this city.

Even if it seems empty.

The woman pushed the front door open and we were immediately greeted with soft music playing and the sound of women's voices.

"Get outside" she tells me.

"This is the Gotham guard identify yourselves and explain why are you inside unauthorized building" she said in a loud voice.

"We traded a lot of things to buy the building, see for yourself" a familiar voice answered her.

"Dont" the woman said to me her voice sounding desperate as if knowing something I don't.

I found myself looking at the same familiar face but in different forms, Selina Kyle, also known as Cat woman.

"Counterparts" I said as one of them handed me a drink.

'Welcome Bruce" Selina said to me, as she guided my hand and to my lips and I took a drink, the last thing I heard was the voices of the young woman's and Selina's arguing but what they said was completely lost to me.

"By ark rules, no one can prevent a uninon" Selina said to Ruby as every one of her counterparts began to circle the girl.

"Newcomers have a three-day limit where they aren't legible for marriage by anyone standards, take a look at your screens it is still in effect" ruby answered the woman in front of her, her gun was still aimed at the master thief.

All of the gathered group began to look at their screens and a disappointed expression replaced their arrogant one.

"No matter well take good care of him, and when the limit is over we all will start our new lives together." Selina paused for a moment as if searching for the right words.

"Think about it, he wouldn't have walked in here so eagerly if he didn't know who I, who we are"

Ruby lowered her gun" I still have to report this" she said to the group, like it or not Bruce had disobeyed her and he willingly walked into a place filled with single women, despite being repeatedly told not to go near them, now he was paying the price and her hands were tied.

"Hellow, Bruce, the other ou" she stopped talking the moment the older man interrupted her.

"He's gotten himself caught hasn't he?"

"Yep" she answered him.

"Leave him, you know the rules" Bruce ordered her.

"Okay girls he's all yours, you know the rules, we expect children from all of you"

"They all have to be from him, no other man and when we find out you had an affair, you and your bastards are going straight to the frontlines with no weapons except for your hands and feet" she said to the women before watching them begin to carry the unconscious bruce into another room.
