(Chapter 3 ready… chapter 4 coming soon)
The Chosen:
The sound of wings flapping, the whirring of machines is what Terry recognised soon as he began to regain consciousness, the unfamiliar surroundings made him weary, it was a cave of some sorts, back hung precariously upside down from their spot.
"How you feeling?" Terry turned his head and recognised the man who the voice belonged to.
"Bruce Wayne" Terry replied as he tried to sit up.
"Rest… you were pretty badly injured" Bruce wheeled himself over to the young man to check him over.
"Where are…" Terry stopped when he saw the suit of the legend in the glass casing, it didn't take long for Terry to realise the truth "You're… Batman" he muttered and Bruce looked down before turning away and wheeling himself away.
"I was" was his only reply, Terry looked the older man over and nodded his head.
"Paralysed" he stated and Bruce nodded his head.
"I've been reading up on you Terry… since you took out the Joker clan before they got through my security shield" Bruce looked at Terry "Your father was murdered" Terry gulped back the memory and nodded his head.
"What do you want from me?" Terry asked with more confidence.
"Follow me" Bruce turned and wheeled himself towards the computers while Terry followed behind closely.
Switching the computer on Neo-Gotham appeared on the screen, Crimes in Neo-Gotham pouring over the radio since the breakout at Arkham Asylum.
"This city need the Batman once more" Bruce looked to Terry and Terry burst laughing "You want me to take up the position" Terry laughed as the thought of himself becoming the batman.
Bruce look very serious and Terry turned away "Look, I thank you for saving my life but I'm not this cities saviour" he walked away towards the cave entrance but Bruce called "Have you not heard Terry, Neo-Gotham is under attack… so where will you stand? Between the city and the criminal preying on the innocent or will you let the city fall back into Chaos" Bruce's words stirred something inside Terry, his mind flashed back to his family and his best friend Maxine 'Max' before turning back to Bruce "Where do we start?" he replied.
Training:
Bruce watched as the days passed by slowly as Terry trained heavily with speed and power, punching the holographic representations of thugs faced in the past by the first Batman Bruce Wayne.
"Rotate your hips Terry… the power comes from rotation" Bruce instructed and Terry listened and began to attack each hologram with more power than originally used before.
"All units please respond… we have a robbery at the Queen Storage warehouse""
"Terry" Bruce called and Terry quickly made his way to the computer "What is it?" Terry asked curious.
"Robbery at the Queen industries Warehouse" Bruce said and Terry nodded his head "Ok… time to get to work" Terry looked to the unit in the corner housing his very own Bat suit.
Terry's Bat suit was much like Bruce Wayne's bat suit but less bulky, the Sign of the bat was red, 2 light weight fabrics similar to the original cape was draped over shoulder: 1 on either side and handing gracefully down his back the arm armguard against blades were sharper, and the cowl was still the same as the original but more blacker that allowed him to use the darkness for cover.
The dark knight Reborn:
"Come on… get the cargo loaded" the leader of the group ordered gruffly as his eyes scanned the area, the warehouse was silent and illuminated by nothing but the street lights outside, police were still on route to the warehouse when the idiots tripped the silent alarm inside the warehouse.
"Keep your head on… there is nothing to worry about, the cops aren't here" the 2nd in command grinned through his mask.
A deep dark voice from above drew their attention "They aren't… But I am" the gang looked up, the figure was sitting on the ledge looking down at them, eyes shining blue, his ears pointed up, his face scowling.
"What the hell are you?" the leader raised his gun but the figure jumped from the building and brought his fist into the leaders face, grabbing the leader the figure turn and slammed the thug into another sending them to the ground, the gang went in for the attack with bars and knifes but the figure was unfazed, his attacks were unlike anything they had seen before, they knew who this mysterious figure was but they couldn't believe it was him, he was nothing but a legend… a story of nightmares of criminals.
The sound of sirens blared closer as the dark figure dispatched the last of the thugs before grabbing the thug by his collar "What are you?" the thug leader whimpered.
The figured glared at him and smirked, his deep gruff voice reverberating in the air "I'm Batman" he stated and knocked the leader out with one last punch.
"Freeze" the police arrived and aimed their weapon to the Batman, the police were frozen in shock, Batman placed a hand on his belt and flipped a switch and smoke began to spill from below him before engulfing him completely: the police were trying to see him.
Using the smoke he hit another switched and the 2 piece light weight fabric handing gracefully on his back expanded into wings before hitting another switch and he took off into the sky leaving behind the shocked faces and a future headline for the Gotham City reporters…
The Dark Knight Returns.
