CHAPTER 6: THE BEGINNING
GOTHAM
WAYNE ENTERPRISES
The day in Gotham is surprisingly bright though the sky is covered with its usual ominous black clouds. Bruce Wayne, the notorious playboy and philanthropist of Gotham stepped out of his expensive Ferrari F60 America, throwing a charming smile to the ladies passing by in front of Wane Enterprises. Women of Gotham as usually giggled with his famous antics.
Fortunately, the thing that they don't know was that he had actually no interest in them at all. The Bat inside the man was clearly agitated that he was forced to wake up early for a meaningless, stupid and boring meeting after a very hard night on his patrol. Of course, he had to hide his simmering anger beneath the cool playboy façade of his that he hates so much.
He threw his trademark Bruce Wayne smiles to his employees while desperately trying not to throw a vicious batglare at them. After a while, he reached his office with Lucius Fox in tow explaining the importance of this meeting and requesting him not to make a fool out of himself in front of the board members and other important officials. He silently nodded sitting in his seat, with a relaxed sigh.
"Bruce, I really don't want you to ruin this meeting. This is very important for Wane Enterprises. Do you understand?" Lucius ended his non-stop talking in a serious tone clearly stating that in no terms that he was going to allow Bruce to ruin it.
"Of course Lucius, don't worry. I will take care of everything", Bruce assured him with an encouraging smile. He knew why he was worried though. He ruined the last two meetings which would help Wayne Tech to earn millions. But the real reason for ending those meetings was not for his façade but for his mission for justice.
If he didn't ruin them, the lives of many people would have been at stake as the companies were secretly involved with major drug dealers and weapon contractors. Unfortunately, he couldn't say that aloud. But the good thing was that the current meeting was going to be a grand success because the dealers are not only good but honest which was rare in the world of corporations.
Later, Patricia informed them that the meeting was going to start and that his presence was requested there. He then made his way to the meeting room along with Lucius.
The meeting room was buzzing with noises of people' talking as if they were discussing an end of world crisis. With an amused roll of his eyes, Bruce Wayne took his seat in front of the meeting room. Just as everyone calmed down to start the meeting, a stream of bullets rained down upon them.
COAST CITY
CIA MAIN HEADQUARTERS
A beautiful woman with glossy raven black hair, azure blue eyes and with a shapely figure stepped out of her car in the sunny day of coast city. Diana Trevor had been urgently called by her boss, Razool Ghoul, executive director of CIA to discuss about a very important matter. That's all. He had given no clue to her about the task. Of course, if you work in a secret team especially employed to people who can handle dangerous threats was supposed to be like that anyway.
She had been itching for some mission to come up for her. Now, her wish finally came true. She was so very anxious to know about her latest mission that she even skipped her regular iced mocha round in the morning. But she must calm herself down as she understood that her mission was going to be crucial since the tone of her boss really sounded serious.
She quickly entered CIA headquarters via the secret route only meant for high standard agents like her. After a while of walking, she reached the main office of Directors board room where Razool Ghoul was waiting there for her. When she entered the office room, he quickly looked up and gave her a small nod which she returned.
"Agent Trevor, good to see you again. Please take your seat", he wished her with a small smile playing on his lips.
"What is the task Mr. Ghoul?" Diana asked him immediately as she took her seat in a regal way that so befitted her.
"Ah! Straight to the point I see. Nice trait Agent Trevor" he raised his eyebrow gently conveying his mild amusement.
"Well I am sure that you didn't call me here just to admire my usual trait, are you?" Diana ended with a small smile of her own.
"Of course no, this task which I am about give you is of a very serious matter. It requires you to go out of the coast city for a while ending all of your contacts with your family. Are you ready for it?" Razool Ghoul silently shifted his amused tone into a very serious one in a matter of seconds.
"Of course, I can." Diana replied in a confident voice.
"Good. Listen carefully, Agent Trevor. I have seen you tackle many tough missions with ease that I have never seen from anyone before. That's the reason I am appointing you for this mission. It's a solo one. You have to depend upon your resources, skill and efficiency in completing the task. And more importantly, you must be patient." Razool clearly stressed the word 'patient' as it was a known fact to anyone who knows her that she has a very less dose of patience.
"You still didn't tell me what's the mission is about" Diana asked in a very serious tone interrupting his tantrum.
"Everything you need to know will be in the file, Agent Trevor" he replied giving a black colored file to her. "Your assignment is in Gotham and your target is Bruce Wayne"
Diana whispered 'Bruce Wayne' under her breath and opened the file to see a handsome black haired, blue eyed man with a charming smile on his face clad in a fitting Armani suit.
GOTHAM
WAYNE ENTERPRISES
As soon as the first bullet left the gun, it didn't pierce through the hard glass on impact but created enough crack on it so that the other bullets hailing through the air were able to penetrate it on the second round of firing.
When Bruce Wayne first heard the crack on the glass, he immediately pressed the security button to alert the guards. Before the second round of firing took place, most of the board members if not all were already lying flat on the floor to escape the terrifying assault. When the security guards stormed into the room, guns blazing angrily, the attack coming from the outside finally came to an end.
While everyone was frantic with worry and fear, Bruce Wayne silently stood up, made his way towards the glass wall and carefully observed his surroundings and finally he concluded only one thing.
'Someone was after him and he didn't know who or what his target is! Is it Bruce Wayne or the Batman? Had someone figured out his identity? What is his aim? What does he wish to achieve by attacking Bruce Wayne? Is this some sort of a message or a warning?' Bruce Wayne silently slipped out of the meeting room with all these thoughts swirling in his mind like an active tornado.
PLACE: UNKNOWN
A man was sitting in front of the fire place silently indulging himself in the pleasurable wine when another man, as if appeared out of thin air suddenly made his presence felt with a slight clearing of his throat.
"Task completed" he informed to the man sitting in front of the fire place in a very silent voice as if he was afraid to break the pin drop silence.
On hearing this, the man sitting in front of the fire place smiled in such a way that the weakest of the hearts would surely die.
HEY GUYS! THANKS FOR READING. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT. AND ONE THING I WISH TO SAY IS THAT DIANA HAS NO POWERS AND HAD NO IDEA ABOUT WHO SHE TRULY IS. JUSTICE LEAGUE ISN'T FORMED YET BUT THERE ARE OTHER HEROES WHO ARE WORKING INDIVIDUALLY ON THEIR OWN.
SUGGESTIONS, CRITICS AND REVIEWS ARE CLEARLY WELCOMED. LOVE YOU ALL.
