Comment: I don't own Dc or Marvel but I do own Seth and Dawn since their characters I made up.

Chapter 2

Bruce Wane or better known as Batman didn't know why he decided to take the street boy to the bat-cave all he knew was that the boy was hurt. While Alfred was treating the boy, Bruce found something shocking about the boy. Tim Drake or who was also secretly Robin came in to see how Bruce was doing. "This unbelievable! Tim come see this."

"What is it Batman." Bruce forgotten to take of his bat costume but he didn't mind.

"I was looking at sample of the boys blood and looks to have been mutated."

Tim looked at the room over where Alfred was finishing up the boy's wounds. "But what does this mean?"

"I don't know, lets ask him ourselves!" Tim quickly changed into his costume as they entered the room. Alfred stayed to make sure the boy was okay.

Seth opened his eyes his eyes and noticed the Batman, Robin, and another older man staring at him. He could feel the feelings of confusion, fear, and yet courage and pride. Seth sat up and said, "So your the famous duo Batman and Robin. My name is Seth. You might want to know that after I hear a voice I can detect it and find out who your true identities are. So it be best you just tell me now."

Batman scowled and demanded, "We don't have to tell you anything, instead you should tell us how you become a mutant!"

Seth held his head down and sighed. He answered, "Honestly, I don't know. I can't remember my old life. But there are several other things I do. But I can't answer your question because I don't know what the answer is."

Batman believed him and said, "So what exactly can you do."

Seth looked around, he felt trapped and that he shouldn't speak. Robin smirked and said, "Don't worry were all good people here. Oh by the way the man's name is Alfred. He treated your wounds."

Seth looked at Alfred with his grey eyes that had a rim of black on the edge. "Thank you very much. As to your question, I do not know fully of my potential. But from what I have gathered so far is that I'm an empath or can sense others emotions. I also can analyze things and I will be able to learn a technique or how to defeat it or even how to get through a situation. I seem to be able to control shadows into doing whatever I focus on them to do and from just yesterday I just learned that I can sense auras of people. So now I must warn you that you may can your clothes, name, even voice but you can't change your aura."

Robin to off his mask to show…there was practically no hiding of his secret identity. He was just a normal kid of seventeen like Seth. "Well then I'm Tim Drake, nice to meet you Seth."

Batman looked at his partner and demanded, "Tim what do you think your doing?"

"Come on Bruce he was bound to find out anyway."

Batman sighed in defeat and reveled himself as a well matter young man. "Fine then I'm Bruce Wane. Refer to me as to Mr. Wane. Now do you have a place to live?" Seth shacked his head in a no. "Then you will stay here, you will train like you are one of my new sidekicks. You will work for me until we figure out who and what you are!"

Seth scowled and replied, "Fine but I'm no ones sidekick! When I find out what I need to know then I will quiet and go on with my life. Till then just think of me as a guest…who also is a part-time superhero."

Batman showed no signs of emotion but he knew Seth could sense he felt weary towards their new teammate. "So first you need a superhero costume and a hero name so your identity isn't found out."

Seth took out his dog tag necklace that was under his shirt. He looked at for a while and said, "Shadow, just call me Shadow. And if you guys get me in tights I will kick both of your buts until you're in the emergency room!" Batman said nothing as Tim showed Seth basic moves. Seth wasn't kidding about being able to copy moves. He new several deadly martial arts and sword fighting without any training, this worries Batman that Seth knew how to fight before.

Seth trained for a full week before he was able to grasp all they could teach him, the rest would be in experience. Seth thought cloaks were better than capes. So he made his costume a black full length shirt with underneath thin bullet print jacket and long black pants, he wore a black cloak and a wrap around his mouth. He was still able to breath and talk but now no one would be able to see it. The cloak itself had secret pockets with knives and a stun gun.

Just as Seth was showing of his costume to them did the alarm go off. Batman raced to the computer and shouted, "Trouble the Joker just robbed city bank. He is heading for his secret hideout in the abandoned glue factory. We must stop him at once."

They jumped into the bat-car and drove off. Seth looked at the car and whistled. He said to Batman, "Can I drive?

"No!" Seth was going to complain but they were already at the glue factory. Batman and robin used their utility-belts to get their grappling hooks to go to the roof. Seth on the other hand used the small cracks on the wall to climb up. He looked like a wild animal and was incredibly fast.

Seth focused and used his shadow ability to break a giant hole through the building. Because of his ability the shadows gathered all the broken pieces before they fell and lightly put them on the floor. He didn't trigger a signal alarm. The team landed to the ground. They snuck around the shadows as the found the Joker.

Joker was with twelve men and they spotted them. Seth was thought Joker's large smile was creepy. "Boys it looks we caught ourselves a bat and a robin!" He laughed like a total psychopath and a trapped in a large cage. But Seth was to quick to be trapped by the cage.

Joker looked at him and said with his creepy smile still plastered on his face. "Who are you? Another one of batty's sidekicks?" His minions charged at Seth. Seth used the art of martial arts and defeated them all in nothing flat.

"I'm no ones sidekick!" Shadows surrounded his entire body; blue sparks came from them and spread across the room. It closed up on the Joker. Then the shadows around Seth formed into a large katana blade. Seth hit Joker with the blade and in a split second Joker fell unconscious and quivering in fear. "Never seen a superhero do that!"

Batman and Robin were out of the trap and they didn't look happy. "You could have killed him!"

Seth snickered and said, "If I wanted to kill him he be dead but he is not. Or are you not such a great detective like you pretend to be." After that Seth was grounded for a full week.

Superman was watching over Metropolis. There were new villains around here, but they seemed to keep weary so he wouldn't catch them. They called themselves Brotherhood of Evil. He had a strange feeling these men could cause trouble; he had called Batman to investigate. All Superman could do right then was wait and hope.
