~Revelations 2~

Batman touches his headset as static bursts in and out. He makes out the words "Charlie we are now at Delta."

He ziplines down fast heading toward the Wayne Manor. He knows that lertcons and redcons use alpha, bravo,bravo plus, and delta to determine the level of threat. Delta is the highest. Soon armored and mechanized infantry brigades would be arrive in full force. Most of the Watch Tower was destroyed but his cave thanks to his ingenuity and deeplocation should be intact.

Wayne Manor

Batman jumps in the batmobile and stomps the pedal. He weaves in and out of barricades and slips into the fog. "Alfred? Alfred can you hear me?" No response. He drives faster and places the car in auto-pilot and grabbing his laptop. He checks his visuals for any signs of Alfred. The cave appears intact .His car now idles as he tries his voice recongnition at the mountain pass. A wall now lifts and he puts the car in gear and slowly rolls forward and tells the computer to "close cave."

He jumps out and runs through the winding undergound tunnel, through his eye and voice alarms to the study. "Alfred?"

The home still stands... barely. Books are strewn across the floor and the alarms are sounding. He runs to the hall. Most of the roof has collapsed and and the center section gapes open where his grand foyer once was. Piles of debris line the marble floors. "Alfred?" he yells but the only response is the din of ringing alarms chiming into the dreary smog. He eyes the front door now blocked by the fallen crystal chandelier. He looks up the double staircase. No signs of Alfred. He shouts again and hears a smashing sound form the kitchen. He runs toward the kitchen.

"Alfred!"
There Alfred is stooped down on the floor cleaning up broken china.

"Oh sir. There is such a mess. I am so..."
He hugs his best friend tightly.
