Here are some answers to your questions JOUNOUCHI sama and scifigeek6067.
Yeah I've never been good with intro's to a story, scifi. I want to get to the good stuff so I've been trying to speed it along. Take this six pager for example.
And now JOUNOUCHI,
1. It is not necessarily true that Bruce would also make the program for those who helped him protect the city. Bruce would have trusted only trusted his own family, as they would still know about him in the future. Let's say if Huntress' decedent came in to find it she might not care and expose his secret because she does not know who he is and is not important to her.
2. Did I even say that? I'm not sure, but oh well. It is a possibility, but unlikely because as in the comics now, Nightwing is having trouble about putting on the duds. Unless the next Battle for the Cowl comic proves me wrong.
3. In a way Alfred is already Oracle as he has access to all the technology and relies information to Michael.
4. It is possible, but who knows.
I appreciate the reviews so far, but I want MORE! A review from just one person isn't enough to continue a story, but I'm going to keep going for a while longer and if reviews don't pick up I'm putting a minimum of reviews before I keep going. I don't mean to be a jerk, but come on, I see that people are reading so please review. I know it's been slow starting but it picks up NOW!
Batman 3000:
Evil Fears the KnightRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG! Alarms blaze as three criminals stuff diamonds, earrings, bracelets, and other items into sacks. One of the criminals named Jack is starting to walk out the door. He yells to the others, "Damn it! Come on guys the owner's going to be here and probably have a shotgun." As he turns around something from the sky grabs him by his collar and lifts him into the night.
One of the other criminals looks around. "Jack."
"Man, forget Jack," says the other.
The two remaining criminals run to the back of the store and open the door. Before them stands a giant bat! Both of them hold up their guns and open fire. Bullets seep into the chest of the bat figure. Bullets continue to erupt from the chambers until only clicking sounds can be heard.
The two criminals open their eyes to see that the vigilante hasn't budged!
One of the burglars runs away while the other stands there and wets himself from fear. The other criminal runs to the second car the burglars had for the getaway. He jumps into the driver's seat frantically looking for his keys.
"Didn't think that the capes would get involved." He finds the keys and tries to put them into the ignition. He looks down to see the entire ignition system had been pulled out! Suddenly something crashed onto the roof of the car. The burglar jumps out of the car to look at what crashed into the roof.
He sees that it was his buddy, Jack.
"Jack, what the hell happened!"
A bloody and beaten Jack responds by saying, "Run man."
The criminal turns to run, but is meet by the creature he was running from.
"What are you," he asks.
The creature replies, "I'm Batman!"
The last thing the criminal sees is Batman's fist ramming into his face.
Firestarter stood before her new colleagues.
There was the Chameleon. He could disappear into any object that wasn't living. The Mentalist could hypnotize subjects who starred into his eyes. Then there was the Seer who could see one possible future. The leader of the squad was called the Mechanic. They called him the Mechanic because he was a half robot-half human and he could fix almost anything.
"Welcome," said the Mechanic, "to the Gotham region of the Justice League."
Firestarter sat in a chair with a cake in front of her that read, Happy Birthday. She looked up confused.
"Chameleon misunderstood," said Seer.
The Mentalist then said, "Let me go find some matches then, and we can get this show on the road."
"No need," replied Firestarter. The mistress of fire formed a small flame above her five fingers and lit all five of the candles at once.
"Blow them out and make a wish," said Seer.
Firestarter blow out the candles with a single breath. The other heroes sat down and began eating.
"What's your real name," asked the Mechanic.
"Jennifer Gordon," said Firestarter.
"So, why did they send you here," asked the Chameleon.
Just then everybody stopped eating.
"Chameleon, you're not supposed to ask that," said Seer.
"Why not," asked Chameleon.
"Because it's rude," said the Mentalist.
"I'm going out for some air," said Firestarter.
The fire mistress opened an adjacent window and flew away.
Trying to stop her the Seer says, "No, please stay."
"Let her go Seer," says the Mechanic," she'll come back when she's ready."
Michael lands on top of a roof looking at the surroundings that will become a battlefield. The docks were notorious for smuggling in guns, drugs, and anything else that was illegal. My first appearance went off well, let's see what I can do this time. Michael pulls out a batrang and throws it at a fuse box. The lights go out.
Two criminals unloading some crates turn around.
"Lights went out, Tommy" said one of the criminals.
"I can see that," says Tommy. "Probably a cape or a vigilante. Get the boss and the other boys out here." Tommy pulls out a gun as his partner runs into the warehouse.
"Come out to where I can see ya," asks the burglar. His response is a shuffling in the corner. Tommy shoots a laser from his gun.
The beam grazes Batman's shoulder. Michael grabs the wound to put pressure to stop the bleeding. How did that happen, he thought, I thought this suit was supposed to be bullet proof. Then it hits him. It is bullet proof, but not blaster proof. Leaning over the crate he looks at his adversary. Michael pulls out another batrang and throws it. The gadget misses its mark completely.
Seeing something come from the crate across from him, Tommy walks over to see if someone is there. He walks over and as he nears the back of the crate he lunges forward to get the jump on the guy. He fires his gun at nothing. "I must be going crazy because I'm seeing things."
"Don't worry, you're not crazy," said a costumed figure in a raspy voice that was now descending upon him.
Tommy managed to shoot the weirdo before he got him.
Damn, thinks Michael, can't keep going like this. Suddenly a lightning bolt slams into Michael's chest sending him flying. He bursts through a couple of crates before landing in a nearby warehouse.
"I don't know who you think you are, but the name is the Pearl Dynamo."
What in the world was that, Michael thought. Felt like a laser bolt, but amplified a thousand fold.
Pearl Dynamo snaps his fingers, "Someone get Tommy up."
"On it boss," replies one of the crewmen. The man walks over with a bucket of water and throws it on Tommy. Tommy jumps up with a start.
"Tommy," Pearl Dynamo looks at his henchman, "what was that thing."
"It's a vigy (vigilante)," replied Michael.
"Geez, don't scare me like that. You had me thinking it was a superhero or something." Just then a shot was heard and Pearl Dynamo saw something going up the side of the building. "Shoot him! He's trying to get away."
Pearl Dynamo's henchmen begin to fire their blasters. Pearl holds out his hand and with the static energy from his clothing mixed with his own energy he forms a bow. With the other hand he molds his energy into an arrow. He lines up his shot and fires.
Those blasters may be missing most of the time, but when they did hit it almost made Michael let go of the grappling hook. Just when Michael leaped onto the building and thought it was safe another bolt of the energy that him before slammed into his shoulder. The lightning that struck him made him fly across the roof. When his body stopped sliding, Michael tried to get up. Unfortunately those wounds had hurt him more than he thought they did.
From below he could hear Pearl Dynamo saying, "Get up to that rooftop and finish him off." So this was it. Not having been one night on the job and he would die. To no one in particular Michael whispered, "I should have listened to you Alfred." As his eyes began to close he could see a something coming towards the area.
It was like a meteor was coming towards him. As it passed Michael could see that it wasn't a meteor, but a girl enveloped in flame!
From a mile away Firestrater could hear the fighting. It was almost like World War 5 was going on out here! The flame mistress sprayed the door to a warehouse with fire because she saw some of the criminals trying to enter. Looking over she could see a man in a white suit with what looked like a lightning bolt pointing at her.
"Uh, oh," she said. Putting her hands in front of her Firestarter creates a firewall that blocks the lightning as it tries to hit her. Then she encircles the criminals in flames. With nowhere to go the burglars just stop fighting and stand waiting for the interrogation.
"What's going on here," asked Firestarter.
"Before you go questioning us, why don't you grab the guy who started all this," said Pearl Dynamo. Firestarter looks at the roof where Dynamo is pointing. The flame mistress flies to the top, to find nothing, but blood. Can't believe I missed one she thought.
That Morning.
"Alfred, I want to see my little brother," said Caroline.
"Of course miss, but you seeā¦" Caroline shoves past the robotic butler to open the door to her brother's room. She walks in to find her brother under the covers looking very sick. Alfred gives a sigh of relief.
"Heard you were sick, little bro."
"Yeah, I like to lie in bed."
"From that gunshot wound and this, I'm starting to think so. I just wanted to see if you were okay. I have to go to a meeting now, but I'll be back tonight okay."
"See you then, sis."
Caroline walks out of the room closing the door behind her. As soon as the door closes Alfred walks over to Michael.
"I must say Master Michael that, that is an impressive display of acting and makeup. I even think you look sick."
"Alfred," Michael groans. "Get the first-aid kit." Michael pulls down the sheets to show a blood soaked bed, with a boy just as bloody.
"Oh dear," says Alfred.
