Rising Hero Chapter 3
"Home Sweet Home"
It had been a slow three weeks since the Gas station shoot out and in that time he took to calling a snow shed a shelter for him, the Car and the gear he had.
The shed wasn't simply designed for just a tractor, no it was designed for someone to stay there during the winter.
Or it "was" at one point in time. This particular part of Happy Harbor was more dead than a graveyard on Halloween (And that includes the lack of animal activity).
The shed was complex in design to the eye of the stupid. Even Jack had a hard time understanding what he was looking at when he first came across it.
Ideally, it was a two story shed with a three and a half car garage. Meaning that the tractor could fit comfortably in it and a fairly large personal car could fit in next to it.
It was small in terms square foot at the base of the structure (To some at least).
But what really appealed to Jack was the second story of the building. By no means could you fit a family of 4 in it but a single boy like him could consider this a very spacy place to crash for the next few weeks until he could find a way to move towns.
If he wanted to that is.
From he gathered on his drive out of town the last few day's were anything to go by, everyone had a trench coat and cowboy style hat in the winter time. That meant that another person in town with this get up wouldn't bat an eye at him.
Unless they recognized that this was the attire of the defending gunmen at the gas station.
Ugh! It was so agitating being on the run from a terrorist organization.
He could handle being on the run, he would rather be on the run than sitting in an orphanage waiting for them to come and get him for his knowledge of the autobots.
But now he has the attention of the citizens of the largest city in New Jersey.
The part that did very little to help ease the worry was the fact that the Batman was in this town, and if anyone could figure out that he was on the run, it would be him.
He looked around the second floor of the shed he was in, a desk in the corner with a small light, a 32" TV on the wall, a small fridge and microwave cattycorner to desk, a futon that he was currently sitting on. And a computer chair by the desk.
He had the .357 ammo on the desk and the already reloaded revolver back in the sling and on the coat rack under the trench coat.
And looked at the badge that belonged to his father.
Detective Darby was a fine police officer, something a longtime family friend had always complemented his father on, and then tragedy had to rear its ugly head.
An attack on the police station was unheard of (Unless it's Dallas PD than it happened almost twice a month) but Jasper…
Flash back
"Luis? What are you doing?" Jack looked at his father's co-worker and best friend as he fumbles with a bottle of water he was drinking.
Jack was 15 almost 16 in a few weeks. In spite the fact that Jack was mature enough to only joke when the time was right, he couldn't help put chuckle at his godfather's reaction.
Yes, godfather. Luis Coaltrain and Josh Darby where best friends since elementary school. They both went to the academy at the same time and gradated top of their class.
But on this day, everything would change.
What started out as a bring your kid to work day, turn into a nightmare and a half when the window broke with gun fire. Jack had become good friends with all of the officers and their kids, and each one of them knew how to shoot everything their parents shot.
Remington 870, M&P 45, and the AR-15 in 5.56 NATO.
When the shots first rang out two officers had already been hit. But everyone else quickly jumped into action.
Jack led the kids ranging between 14-17 to the back where the long guns were kept the hearing protection was.
In total there were 9 kids that knew what they were doing.
Jasper not being as large as a small city didn't have a large police force. Sure, they had a S.W.A.T team, but they were all blended in with the rest of the force.
Jasper PD had a total 35 officers.
But at the end of the day, they would only have 24.
The real fighting didn't start until the citizens started to get involved.
17 gunmen attacked the Police Department. Only three would live to tell the FBI what they were thinking.
The citizen weaponry range everywhere between a semi-automatic 22. To an AR-10
The Kids handled 8 of the attackers with Jack taking 3 of them by himself and getting a piece of 9 of the others. (that means others that the kids didn't take)
Jasper will remember this day for the rest of the time that it stands.
A gun Fight that lasted the better of thirty minutes, that pissed off an entire town, ultamently ended with more dead than there were wounded.
Even the sheriffs were shocked at what had become of JPD!
The weeks that followed would prove tiring and problematic as seven fathers and six mothers would be put to rest.
Two of them being Jack's father and his father's best friend.
Jasper would mourn for next six weeks; the mayor would pass a law for all citizens over 21 to carry a handgun and citizens over 18 to carry a rifle of shotgun with them.
No one messed with Jasper after that…
End Flashback
The boots he had been wearing where off and he was laying down on the futon arms rested behind his back and one leg crossed over the other. Looking up at the ceiling like he would look at the stars back in Jasper.
The M&P remained on his hip and the AR-15 he brought sat beside the bed.
If Josh Darby told him to aim to kill like he said to. Than all criminals beware, there is a new kind of lawmen in town. And he will be cleaning up the streets.
The days of "Dirty Harry" have begun!
So, that was the back story of what had happened to Jack to cause him to have the attitude he has against criminals, do note though, the criminals that Jack will be going after won't be Batman's typical criminals like the Joker or the Penguin, these will be scumbags with no master plan.
Next few chapters will have some insane action in them though. (I.E. an attack on Gotham City Police Department) and Barbra will meet Jack at a coffee shop, (where she will unintentionally start to fall in love with him), and we see Jack get a new car, which would you see him drive more, camaro, mustang, corvette, or charger?
But anyway, thank you guy's so much for reading this chapter if you liked it, follow fav and comment, and I will see y'all later!
