Chapter 1: Lost

Third POV

With inside Wayne Manor, two eight-year-old boys played around with their mother watching from sides with a smile on her face. This woman was Martha Wayne, the mother of those two boys. The first boy had blonde hair and dark blue eyes, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and shoes. The second boy had black hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue shirt, grey pants, and shoes. The boys were Alexander James Wayne and Bruce Thomas Wayne, twin sons of Thomas and Martha Wayne.

Alex was the oldest by two minutes and Bruce came behind. Alex was very protected for his little brother and not anything happens under his watch. Bruce was fine with it but want to do things that he thought was right and wanted to play with his older brother.

Martha was happy to give birth to two boys and smiled at them playing like kids should. Evening if the family was rich and could live like kings, but her and her husband want their sons to be raised like a normal one and live a good childhood before they get the rundown of the family business.

Soon enough Thomas Wayne comes into the room with a smile on his face on seeing his son playing with other and walked towards his wife.

"Good afternoon Martha," Thomas greeted with a smile as he placed his stuff down.

"Good afternoon Tom. Are done with all your work? The boys are excited to see the movie that we promise to take them today," Martha said, reminding her husband of their plans for the afternoon.

"I didn't forget, Martha. I understand Alex and Bruce have been wanting to see the new movie of the Grey Ghost. Bruce just loves films and can't wait to watch it on the big screen," Thomas replied with a smile, remembering his youngest son getting happy when he heard his favorite show was going to be on screen for the first time.

The Grey Ghost was a show that Thomas would watch with Bruce late at nights when he got back from work. Alex would watch sometimes and be happy for his little brother to see his favorite show on the big screen. Tonight was going be the night that the Wayne will see a movie like a family.

"Bruce, Alex make sure you two dress up nice. We will be leaving very soon," Thomas said, getting his sons' attention to stop playing and run upstairs to get change.

"No running in the house please!" Martha called out, stopping the two from running and hurt themselves.

Alex and Bruce went to their room and got themselves dress to the movies, being a nice black suit, tie, white undershirt, and dress shoes. The boys walked downstairs to see their parents all dress for their family night at the movies and one noticed something new.

"Mom is that a new pearl necklace?" Alex asked, seeing a white necklace on his mother's neck.

Martha smiled and said, "Yes, it is, Alex. Your father has given me this a few moments ago."

"It looks lovely," Bruce commented with Alex agreeing with him.

"It does, Bruce. Now let's get going. Alfred is waiting for us outside," Thomas said, opening the doors for his family to leave the manor and see a black limo outside ready for them.

Alfred was waiting for the family with a smile on his face and know that Wayne family were going to have a great time at the movies. They haven't had a good family time for some time now and tonight will be a good time to have one. The butler soon opens the doors for the family to get in and close the door behind them for the drive into Gotham's only and a good working movie theater nearby Crime Alley. Tonight, a family was going to have a great time, but little do they something was going to happen.

Time Skip

The new Grey Ghost movie was great that Wayne family stay at the end since Bruce loves it and was happy to spend time with his family. When the family got outside, they saw it was going to rain, winds blowing around and a lightning storm was coming by tonight. They will need to get to their driver before the harsh weather starts.

Thomas and Martha lead their sons out of the movie and looked for their ride.

"I can't believe you insisted on sitting through that movie, Bruce. Come on. We'll be late for Alfred," Thomas said, having his wife holding his hand and she held the two boys' hands as they walk down the alley.

"I'm sorry daddy," Bruce said with his head down, thinking he done something wrong but changed when his older brother Alex shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Go easy on him, Tom. He and Alex loved it, so Alfred will wait. Keep up Alex, Bruce!" Martha called out for the boys to stay close to her.

The family keeping on walking down the streets and saw alleyway not from where. Thomas leads his family down the alleyway, causing his wife to be a little uneasy.

"Where are you taking us?" Martha asked as she held her sons' hands and followed behind the man leading them.

"We can cut through here," Thomas responded as the rains started to come down.

"But it's starting to rain. The boys are tired. Can't we just wait for him here?" Martha asked, having a bad feeling with the alleyway and got worried for her sons' health.

Bruce and Alex hold their mother hands and looked tired from the light but still could make it to their drive.

"Come on. Keep up. We're nearly there!" Thomas called out, having his family stay close to him as they kept walking down the alleyway, but failed to see an unknown figure just ahead of them behind the trash cans.

The unknown figure was a male and looked like an alone from the streets. The man soon walked towards the Wayne family and at first, they thought he was just passing by but changed when the father and mother heard a click and saw something.

"Hold it there, lady!" The mugger shouted out as he pulled his pistol onto the family.

"Oh god!" Martha called out in shock, being afraid and soon held her boys close to her.

Thomas gets in front of a family with his hands up. Bruce and Alex were scared of what was happening as they hugged their mother close to them, being afraid of what's going to happen.

"Please! There's no need for this!" Thomas informed not wanting anything to happen.

"Stay where you are. I'll shoot!" The mugger warned the man in front of him.

Thomas didn't listen and moved forward, hoping the man won't shoot him.

"I'll give you whatever you want just plea-," Thomas said but never finished when….

BANG!

The gun went off, causing Martha, Bruce, and Alex's ears to ring a little bit changed when they saw Thomas fall to the ground. He was shot in the heart and it started to come clear.

"Daddy!" Bruce and Alex called for their father with tears almost coming down.

Martha had tears in her eyes in sadness as she ran towards Thomas and fall on her knees to see her husband dead.

"Tom! Oh god, oh god Tom!" Martha cried with tears coming down even more on her face.

"Be a quiet lady. Just shut up! Give me those pearls!" The mugger threated as he reached with his left towards the pearl necklace.

"Stay away from me!" Martha snapped as she backhanded the hand and soon saw the right almost pulling the trigger.

"Run Bruce, Alex!" The mother called to her sons to leave and save their lives but then…

BANG! BANG!

The mugger fired two shots from his pistole but failed to grab the pearl necklace and started to make a run for it, not wanting to go to jail and ran out of Crime Alley.

"Mommy!" Alex called out as he saw his mother get shot and fall onto the ground near his father.

The young boy ran towards his parents and got down his knees to see the dead bodies of his parents in front of him with tears coming down from his face. Alex then noticed that his brother was nowhere around him and felt a painful feeling within him all the sudden. More tears, pain, and sadness came down onto the boy as he turned around to see the body of his twin brother, Bruce, on the ground dead before.

Alex felt a powerful pain within his heart and started to cry even more by the bodies of his dead family. He was close to his mother and brother than his father. He loved him, but he was never around that much. His mother was there for him and loved her like his little brother. Now his family is dead, and the sudden pain was hurting more within him as he cried even more.

The young Wayne failed to notice or hear Gotham's police coming in and saw what happen. The three-gun shots had caused one of their own to call for backup and see what happen to find almost the whole Wayne family dead. Tonight, was a stormy and tearful night for Alex Wayne.

Time Skip

The officers took the bodies of the dead Waynes and brought the young boy into questioning. It was hard for Alex as he still had tears in his eyes, felt a dead pain in his heart, and didn't talk as he held onto his mother's pearl necklace. His tears had dry up but more were almost coming down on his face.

Soon enough a police officer came by to take a knee in front of the sad boy. A couple of police officers had bad-mouthed Alex and his parents, thinking he will be fine with money he had. Such scrum and they couldn't understand. However, one officer took the young boy into his office and wanted to help him.

"I'm sorry about that. I just need to ask you some questions. Can I get you anything? You OK?" The officer asked.

Alex stays quiet, not wanting to talk and couldn't get the image of what happened out his mind which caused more pain and sadness into his heart.

The officer sighed and said, "I know you don't like feel like answering me but it's the only way I catch who did this."

Alex broke down with more tears falling down his face, remembering what happen and could still feel the inner pain within the heart. The office saw this and had sad look on his face as he placed his right hand on the kid's shoulders to relax him.

"Why did he do it, officer? Why?" Alex asked with tears coming down his eyes, wanting to know why someone had to take away the people he loved.

"I don't know. It's this city. There's something wrong with it," The officer replied as he took some napkins from his desk to clean the young boy's face from his tears.

Alex allowed the officer to clean his face and felt fine around the police officer.

"And listen, son, call me Jim," The office said with a smile on his face.

Alex nodded his head and started to answer any questions he could answer to the best of his ability.

Time Skip

Alfred had a very sad look on his face as he and Alex watched the bodies of the Wayne family bring put to rest and drive back to Wayne Manor. The whole Wayne family money and everything go to Alex and will one day run his father company when is older. Money and power won't help the boy as he mourns for the loss of his dead family.

Alfred had helped Alex as he cried for the loss of his family and mourn with everything in his heart. At the night, the young boy made a promise to his parent's and brother's grave. That was promise was to be an agent of justice for Gotham and those who had lost their loved ones like him. He doesn't want others to feel the inner pain and sadness he felt when he lost his family. He promised that he will do anything in his power to build and become an agent of justice for the people of Gotham.

As Alex falls asleep after crying and promising on his family's grave. Alfred had a sad look on his face and made a promise of his own. His promise was to watch over the young boy for Thomas and Martha's sake. He was sad and miss the whole Wayne family, but he knows that Alex will make them proud of his promise and one day make a difference for Gotham.
