The TNT Chronicles

Chapter 4- The Tragic and Epic Backstory of Alfred Pennyworth

My name is Alfred Pennyworth and my story begins in south east London where i was undercover for the british military. My task right now is to get to a boat and travel to my given coordinates and kill a specific target. When i got in the boat my friend Ben Turner and I started out into the North Atlantic. When we reached the coordinates we saw a half sinking ship with a woman on it. She was handcuffed to the mast of the sinking ship. I steered the ship next to what was left of hers and boarded her ship. Ben asked why we don't just kill her here. But the fact that she was so young and unarmed I couldn't bring myself to do it. I ushered her on board my boat. She was cold and shivering. I put a warm blanket around her. Then i told Ben that we need to hide her from the british. Ben replied , that if you try you will be a traitor. You for failing to follow orders and aiding a convict. And they will be all over me just for helping you on board. well , looks like now you have nothing to lose. He sighed and silently agreed to join me. When i asked her name she said it was Pamela Lillian Isley and that she is searching for her sister Angela.

One week later…..

As we progressed on our journey she became more like a daughter to me than a person we rescued. I she couldn't wait for breakfast. She loves my waffles. She was so young she was just about 13. Then our boat rattled. Something was scraping against the boat. When we came on deck we Saw a massive British ship trying to board ours. Ben was trying to steer us away but he was shot in the elbow. Pamela and I ran to his side when we got surrounded by my fellow British. A lady who was about 17 took off her hat. When Pamela saw her face, she was shocked to see who it was. It was her sister Angela. She then knocked Ben overboard bleeding into the water and Captured us and held us prisoner.

Two days later…

We are still prisoners with every day we grow closer back to England. I felt bad for Ben but there was nothing i could do for him now. As the ship sailed back to london i was tortured by Angela. But i found a way to escape. And Angela and I fought. Now i don't like to hit women but i made an exception. I then shoved i knife through her chest. Pamela screaming behind me as i murdered her sister. She then released a wave of energy. Then plants started to grow everywhere. She had a murderous look in her eyes. And i knew then that she would never be the same sweet girl again. She then left the ship. And i fell down and wept because i failed at saving her and then i made things worse. After i escaped the ship i was not in England but in America. I made my way off the boat. And luckily i always carry a passport with me. I made my way to a taxi. And i told it to take me to Gotham City.

One day later….

When i reached Gotham i went to the plaza hotel to stay. When i went inside i noticed how clean it was and was glad to be able to sleep somewhere clean. I climbed into bed and went to sleep. I then woke up to the sound of rustling in the curtains. I woke up and saw Ben Turner at the foot of my bed. I spoke to me and said that i betrayed him. That i left him to die,and that i am going to die and he lunged at me. He was a martial arts master so i got beat up, badly. He threw knives at me but i dodged and kicked him out the window. When i went to go see the body, it was gone. It started to rain and i was badly injured. I stumbled out of the hotel and down the street. Until a man and women stopped me and drove me to their home. Where they nursed me back to health. A young boy walked the room where i was recovering in and asked me to stay for a little while longer. I told him i don't know if your parents would let me stay. But the people who saved me walked in and told me their names. Thomas and Martha Wayne asked me to be there butler and i said yes. I start my job tomorrow, so i went back to the hotel to gather my things. When i was stopped by Pamela. I called her name but she told me to call her Poison Ivy. I told her that i would never call you Ivy. She left me. I failed to save Ben and Pamela and now i am saddened at the loss of my best friend and a girl who was like a daughter to me.

And thus the tragedy of Alfred Pennyworth ends.
