Chapter 3
Flash ran as fast as he could but even he knew that he couldn't outrun on of the deadliest forces known to man. Said force was not a evil trying to destroy the world nor take it over. The deadliest force that was chasing the fastest man alive was non other than The Protector of Gotham and a founding member of the Justice League. In other words, Flash was running from Batman who was by far the most dangerous of all the Members of the Justice League.
Why do you ask that Flash was running from Batman? Well, it seemed that Batman had discovered about Flash's meeting with several members of The Avengers and he was not happy. Batman didn't trust The Avengers mainly because of Black Widow and Hawkeye as hey killed without a second thought which was something that he and the Justice League were against. The Dark Knight couldn't blame Steve Rogers AKA Captain America as he was a solider in a war and was force to kill or be killed.
"What were you thinking, Flash?!" Batman growled from the shadows as he cornered the speedster.
"I was thinking of a little girl who had no idea on how to control her powers that she had gotten speedster power through an accident much like how I had gotten my powers. I was there at the request of Hank and Janet Pym not Ant-man and Wasp. They wanted me to help their daughter with her powers. I wasn't about to let a child suffer through something that I had to suffer from and I was an adult. Bats, I'm not doing this so that we can have that little girl be one with the League as I've seen the look her eyes. She wants to be an Avenger just like her parents but something tells me that she's not going to kill anyone with the way her father and mother are raising her. Besides, your ward has already met her a few weeks ago. The Pym's daughter is the little girl that Richard told you about. The one that knew Richard from Haly's Circus and just played with him for a few hours while I talked with the Pyms and the Avengers about Mehira's training. Batman, they know who I am under the mask. I had to reveal who I was in order to gain their trust. Hank and Janet are so protective of their daughter it rivals you with Richard. I told them about the Rouges and how they wouldn't hurt her. Their still not sure about me training and teaching Mehira but they know that I would do anything to keep that little girl safe even at the cost of my own life. Also it's not far to punish a child that's has nothing to do with that actions of her parents who need I remind you have never taken a life. " Flash told the Bat-Glaring Caped Crusader.
Batman looked at the red spandex wearing man. Flash had a point. Mehira Pym was innocent if everything that her parents and what the Avengers had done. Mehira was just a child who by a twist of fate had gotten Speedster power and her Parents were only looking for help. Everyone in the world knew that The Avengers and The Justice League never got along but two of the Avengers were willing to ask for help from a member of the Justice League. Batman also knew that Flash had a fondness for children and was always helping out anything that was linked to fundraisers involving and anything else that had anything to do with kids.
"Bats, we are talking about an 8 year old little girl who knows nothing of the feud between the League and SHIELD and The Avengers plan on keeping it that way for as long as possible. Also this little girl could be the one to end the feud between us. The Pyms have agreed to meet with you as they know that you would find out about me meeting with them. Plus it's a good way for Richard to meet Mehira again and have someone to play with." The speedster told his fellow founder.
Batman looked at the Speedster with an calculating eye. Flash did have a point about the fact that there was an 8 year old girl that just wanted to know how to control her powers. Her parents made a hard decision on asking a Justice League member for help when they were Avengers. Plus, from what Richard had told him about the girl he had met 3 weeks ago, she sounded like someone that would make a good friend for the 6 year old who was very lonely. Also, The Pyms had agreed to meeting him.
Batman looked at Flash before he spoke. "Very well, I will meet with The Pyms at a place of my choosing which will be in Gotham and there will be no middle ground." The Dark Knight told the speedster who nodded his head.
"I'll tell them that you want to meet in Gotham and it also works great if there is a playground near by so that way Richard and Mehira can meet again without revealing anything about who you are under the mask." Flash replied.
Batman didn't say anything as he left the room where he had cornered Flash. He wasn't sure about have his ward meet a daughter of two Avengers but he knew that Mehira was innocent in the feud between the League and SHIELD. Plus, Richard was lonely and Batman knew that he needed someone close to his age to play with. Mehira was to young to know that Richard was Bruce Wayne's ward and wouldn't treat him any different other than he was a normal kid.
A week later,
Batman was on top of a building that was abandoned in a nice part of Gotham with Flash waiting for Ant-Man and Wasp of the Avengers who he was told would be leaving their daughter with two SHIELD agents in a park in viewing vision of the building. It was also the same park where Richard Grayson would be playing at under the watchful eye of Bruce Wayne's loyal father-figure and butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
Thanks to the technology he had in his Cowl, Batman was able to see two small figures that were the size of insects. The Dark Knight knew that these were The Pyms AKA Ant-Man and Wasp.
The two Avengers flew down to the building and reverted back to normal size. Ant-Man took off his helmet so that he was face to face with Batman who the Biochemist knew would never reveal who he was and that was alright with him as for some reason Hank trusted Batman with the care of his daughter. He didn't know why but there was an aura around Batman that told Hank that Batman liked kids.
"Thank you for meeting with us, Batman." Janet said as she stuck her hand out for Batman to shake, not that she was expecting his to shake her hand. Janet got the surprise of a lifetime when Batman shook her hand and her husband's but didn't say anything.
"Let's get down to business." Batman told the two bug themes heroes in a voice that wasn't his normal down to business voice.
"Answer me this. Why did you seek out a Member of the Justice League who happens to be a founder?" Batman asked as he observed the couple in front of him for any lying.
"I'll be truthful with you, Batman. Even if out daughter had never had gotten into the situation that gave her her powers, we would have never contacted Flash but as parents you want to keep your kids
safe from harm no matter who you are. Well, we knew that if we didn't get her the help she needed we would have lost her or something worse would have happened to her. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride and think of your children. We know that even if we didn't get the help and training she needed, she still would have gone out and the training helped people. This way she will have the training and discipline needed to be a hero. Plus, Mehira is a fan of Flash much to her godfather's dismay." Hank told the Bat themes hero in front of him.
Batman watched as the man finished speaking. Ant-Man wasn't lying at all. He really wanted what was best for his daughter. Much like how Batman wanted what was best for Richard who was playing with a red haired girl and having a great time.
"I am going to keep and eye on you when Flash trains your daughter as I don't fully trust you and you know that I will never fully trust you. Even if you are the two Avengers that don't kill, I still won't trust you no matter what. Your daughter will be watched as well but not for the same reason you are going to be watched." Batman told the two Avengers in front of him.
"We had a feeling that you would say that. So it doesn't bother us just as long as Mehira is taken care of." Janet told Batman.
Batman nodded his head. He could see that Janet and Hank Pym wanted what was best for their daughter as did he. Like Flash had said, Mehira could be the one to end the feud between everyone.
"Mehira's training will begin at 5 o'clock in the afternoon everyday and go till 7. She will have the first Flash helping her as well since he helped me deal with my powers. I plan on introducing her to The Rogues soon after I begin teaching her. Knowing The Rogues, they'll take to her in a flash." Flash told the parents who gave him a look at the pun.
"Also Mehira will be meeting my apprentice who is not that much young than her. Yes, I know that you are appalled of the fact of a 6 year old fighting crime but I carefully monitor what he does and who he is allowed to fight. Also he had intense training for over an year before I even allowed him to put on a mask and fight along side me. I will treat Mehira the same. Even though she will be trained by Flash, I will decide when she is ready to fight crime if she wants too which I know she will want too do that. I will NOT endanger anyone especially a child who has just received her powers." Batman told the Pyms which was true. Batman may not like Metahumans in his city but he wasn't going to treat a child Meta like she was the enemy. Batman also knew that Mehira and Richard were on their way of becoming friends and it would help both children to have a friend that was trained by a founder of The Justice League.
Hank was still a little upset that his daughter was being trained by 2 members of The Justice League but like he had said to his wife a few days before meeting Batman, he would do anything to help his daughter even if it meant working with Batman and Flash who the lather he didn't mind but Batman just rubbed the Biochemist the wrong way but not in a bad way. Hank knew that Batman was just protecting his city in his own way.
"I believe you. Even though you use violence to get your point across, I know that you would never hurt my daughter. It just I'm a little concerned about what the other Avengers would do to you if Mehira got hurt in your care. By hurt I mean, really hurt if you get my drift. You really don't want to get on Hulk's bad side cause someone when Mehira was a baby tried to kidnap her and well that person ended up in a body bag after the big guy got through with him. No one messes with an Avenger Baby and lives to tell the tale." Hank told The Dark Knight and Scarlet Speedster who he could tell that the lather eyes were wide as saucers at the mention of what Hulk had done.
"To be truthful, I would have done the same thing if I had kids and someone tried to hurt them." Flash replied knowing Batman would forgo the 'no killing' rule if someone had hurt Richard.
"So we are agreed that Mehira's will be trained in hand to hand combat along side Robin who is my apprentice." Batman said as he got everyone back to the subject that needed to be discussed.
"Yes. I'll have her brought to the location where she will be trained and pick her up at 7. Thank you for helping Mehira." Janet said as she nudged her husband who she knew had a hard time letting his baby girl be trained by heroes that used violence but he knew it was for the best.
"Very good. I will see you in a few days. I'll send the location of where to meet to you in a few days. Please don't bring anyone else with you other than I have a funny feeling that a blond archer assassin will be coming with you." Flash said as he knew that Hawkeye would be coming with the Pyms to the meeting place. That archer riviled Batman when it came to protecting those he loved.
Hank and Janet nodded their heads before they became Ant-Man and Wasp again and flew off.
"Are you sure you want to do this Bats? I know how you feel about Metas." Flash asked his fellow founder.
"That child is just that, a child who knows nothing of what some metas do. Besides like you said, she and Robin would get along great. In fact they are getting along right now in the park." Batman replied before he pulled out a grappling hook and disappeared into the shadows via the air.
Flash smile to himself. Many would think that Batman was grump but deep down he was a softie for kids and would do anything to protect them.
Next chapter: Mehira begins her training with the two founders and figures out who Batman is.
Ideas are REALLY NEEDED for anything. Thanks
REVIEWS WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS
