"So my young lad, do we have a deal?"

"I don't know Sean, I think we're taking too much risk coming here."

"If you don't want what I have to offer, buy it from someone else."

"It's not that, it's just...you know what they say around here?"

"No, I don't know."

"Have you never heard of the ghost?"

There were three men gathered inside an old abandoned warehouse in Gotham City, they wore black hats and gray suits and the biggest of them was next to some boxes.

"What ghost are you talking about?"

"A month ago the boss was at a dinner party with some members of Gotham's high society."

"Yes I was invited but could not attend"

"We were all present there when a smoke bomb was dropped on the table, and then the lights went out and that's not even the worst part. The smoke spread everywhere and soon we saw a silhouette passing between us and this silhouette said that everyone had devoured Gotham's soul and that from now on no one is safe."

"So that's why you don't want to do a nearly million dollar deal on government weapons? You're scared of a collective hallucination hahaha. I don't have time for halloween stories, kid." Said the man looking at the third man in the room who was younger and thinner. "Bring a sample of the weapons in the back of the warehouse, as soon as this coward sees all that weaponry he'll change his mind."

"But boss, what if this ghost is here?"

"Stop being a coward Oswald, if you ever want to be a powerful boss in the criminal underworld you must learn not to be intimidated by anyone."

And so the young man withdrew walking towards a door as he passed the boxes, not realizing that he was being watched, and then the lights went out and terrified the young man pulled out his weapon which was an IMBEL 9 M973 Pistol, originally manufactured in Brazil . Terrified he pulled out his gun and aimed it towards the wall, his hands were shaking and the sweat on his face didn't stop running.

"Come on Oswald, there is no such thing as a ghost"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

The two men are startled by the scream and withdraw their pistols without noticing the silhouette that was hanging from one of the ceiling beams. The silhouette appeared to have bat ears and a cape and its eyes were white as if they were lifeless... it was the ghost.

"Who's there?!, what do you want?!" The representative of the Marone Family walked aiming his Glock while heading towards where Oswald had disappeared, when approaching he doesn't see any clues and so he looks ahead where there was a door. "SHOW UP!". He opens the door turning on the light and aiming but there is nothing but the gun crates he mentioned earlier.

"WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Here"

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

When scared, the man turns around shooting 6 times, but the ghost manages to take a jump avoiding the shots and throwing a projectile in the shape of a bat that ends up piercing the hand of the representative of the Marone Family who screams in pain and runs out of the room encountering with the Falcone Family representative who was pointing a Pistol of the same type.

"What are you doing?!, the ghost you spoke of is here".

"Yes I know, and if this ghost is after you Brody, the greatest representative of the Marone Family, then I'd rather do his bidding and get you out of this world. I haven't worked for Falcone in a month since this supernatural being has been hunting down every evildoer in Gotham, I'm just here to do his bidding and kill all of his enemies so he'll spare my soul."

"You're crazy Jacob!"

A shadow appears behind Jacob and hits him with a right hook in the face, leaving him unconscious, and then the lights come back on, revealing the ghost's appearance.

"Who are you?"

The figure was around 146 cm tall, wore a hood similar to bat ears, the cape extended to the ground, his boots appeared to give him an extra size, his eyes were white as if they had no life, the skin along the around the mouth was as pale as a corpse's, and finally there was the symbol of a bat centered on the chest.

"I am Vengeance"

Brody aimed the pistol with his remaining hand, ready to fire, but the ghost was faster and threw the same bat-shaped projectile he had thrown earlier, hitting the muzzle of the gun. The figure then lifted a controller and pressed the button and the project began to electrocute the mobster rendering him unconscious.

A few minutes later the police arrived at the scene and found the three criminals hanging from the ceiling with a rope and tied upside down.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city on top of a building, the ghost of Gotham was watching the horizon with a neutral expression on his face. The figure then dives from the building by falling from a height of 20 meters and then spreads the wings of the cape to use as a parachute by diving towards a car and then starting and leaving.

To Be Continued...

This is my first loud house fanfic inspired by the fanfiction "Two Loud Left" by Coldwarnick and the fanfiction "Literally I Love You" by Antony-Comics these two fanfics that made me cry and feel countless emotions inspired me to write this fanfiction where Lincoln Loud becomes Batman, remembering that there will be Loudcest referring to Lincoln and Lori and who doesn't like it see another fanfic, this chapter was short because it is an introduction but the next one will be longer and I will post it soon after. I first posted this fanfic on Wattpad and decided to bring it to now that I finally found someone who can correct the grammatical errors since I'm Brazilian and I use Google Translate.
