Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 61
Bats in the Belfry
Gotham California Stately Wayne Manor
1968
Out of thin air a portal opens up and Gordon Freeman steps out of the portal in which the portal closes behind him as he used the coordinates to pinpoint a place he had been to before. He walked up the drive way to a fancy house called Wayne Manor home of millionaire Bruce Wayne known as Batman. Gordon found him to be kind of a moron and so he came upon the front door and with his index finger he pressed the door bell as it echoed in the background.
Then he heard footsteps in the background and the door opened for he sees an elderly man named Alfred Pennyworth in a butler's outfit who he seemed surprised to see him. Gordon wanted to see Bruce and Dick as Alfred told him they are at home and welcoming him inside as Barbra Gordon is their guest as well.
Also Bruce and Dick are talking about mathematics. So Gordon followed the butler inside and waited for Alfred to introduce him to the others once again. Bruce Wayne and his ward Richard Grayson are having a long conversation about mathematics, along with history as the conversation seemed to be boring to some but to them it is.
Unknown to anyone they are both the dynamic duo Batman and Robin. Bruce Wayne is about 6 ft 2 210lbs with short blonde and blue eyes; he is dressed in his usual attire. Richard Grayson his ward is about 5 ft 9 160lbs with brown eyes and black hair he is wearing his usual attire. Then Alfred Pennyworth the butler came into the room as in a way to interrupt them but not rudely. Then Gordon walked in and they looked surprised, to see him again
"Holy dimensional travelers Batman," said Richard "Gordon is back,"
"Indeed Robin," said Bruce "My keen bat instincts tell me he is here for a reason,"
"Right on the money," said Gordon "Bruce, Dick I see you never change. I would like you two to come with me," he pointed out "Maybe bat girl can come along as well,"
"Where are we going Gordon?" asked Bruce
"To meet another you," said Gordon
"Holy dimensional doubles batman," said Dick "Are we really considering going to meet another you, I wonder what he or I am like."
"A trip to another dimension," said Bruce "Is interesting,"
Meanwhile while Gordon, Bruce, and Richard are talking, Alfred went to go pick up the phone and call someone. Batgirl Barbra Gordon as she was at her place in which she had a long night of crime fighting and after taking a shower. She heard a phone ring and picked it up as it is Alfred on the other line telling him Gordon is here. She nodded and ended the conversation as she went to go put on her bat suit, then got into her bike and drives to Wayne Manor.
"Then let's do it," said Dick
"A change is in order," said Bruce "Come robin let's do it,"
Both of them head over to change into their batman and robin costumes as they simply head into the bat cave. It has been quiet in Gotham since the Joker was killed more than a week ago in a plane crash and in the mean time Batgirl arrived at Wayne Manor as she knocked at the door, in which she is let in and at the same time Batman, along with Robin come into Wayne Manor as well. They are surprised to see Batgirl there.
"Hello batgirl," said Gordon "Still kicking ass like always,"
"Hi Gordon," said Batgirl with a smile "Yes of course, so why are you here,"
Gordon goes on to explain.
"Count me in I am going as well," said Batgirl "I wonder what it is like to meet me,"
"We're ready Gordon," said Batman
"Yeah let's do it," said Robin
"Then follow me," said Gordon
Gordon Freeman used his portal program in his suit to open a portal to the coordinates of where he came and he motioned for them to follow him into the portal. All three of them were reluctant to go but they followed him anyway as all four of them vanished into thin air long with the portal as well.
Justice League Watchtower
Earth Orbit 2001
The newly formed Justice League stands there waiting for Gordon Freeman to come back, Flash is eating pizza and J'onn is looking out into the stars like Green Lantern John Stewart. Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman are in a long conversation, Superman is waiting and Batman is being his anti-social self waiting for this to be over with while his arms are folded and not showing any emotion at all. Then they see a portal opening up and four people step out of it as it closes behind them.
All of them blink at what they see; they see a Batman but more retro, along with a Robin and Batgirl. The batman of this dimension blinks twice as he sees Gordon Freeman bringing along a another version of himself, Robin and Batgirl he found this to be crazy in which he always thought he faced things in Gotham that are crazy but this is a whole new ball game. Flash goes to make a pass at Batgirl but she kicks him in the butt that made the other members of the Justice league laughed at this.
"Holy space cases Batman," said Robin "Are we in orbit above Earth in another dimension,"
"My keen bat intelligence says we are," said Classic Batman "Old chum, dimension with another me,"
"Keen bat intelligence," said Superman to this dimension's Batman
"Shut up," growled 2001 Batman
"Batman, Robin, Batgirl," said Gordon "Meet the justice league, along with the other Batman."
"Holy Femme Fatales," said Robin "Batman is that Wonder Woman,"
"Indeed Robin," said Batman "But remember she has not been seen since the end of World War two according to the stories. Ah Superman does not look like the one we know and I don't know the rest of you are, but it's a pleasure to meet you."
"You mean there is a version of me," said WW "Like the one Gordon met in the late 70's"
"Ahem 1968," said Gordon "The WW I met is cheerful and less of a serious warrior,"
"Hi," said Robin extending his hand to 2001 Batman
2001 Batman just looked really annoyed at this in which Gordon must think this is some sort of joke.
"Bruce," said Gordon "This isn't a joke, you do know what walkabout is right,"
"I know, I know," said 2001 Batman
"Greetings my friend," said 1968 Batman "I have never met myself before unless it happens to be a mirror,"
"Likewise," said 2001 Batman
"It would be prudent to talk somewhere else, like the cave for instance," said 1968 Batman
"It would be nice to meet me," said Batgirl
"Me too, it would be groovy to meet me," said Robin.
"Fine let's go," growled 2001 Batman
Gordon followed the two Batmen with Robin and Batgirl to one of the shuttle bays in which 2001's bat plane is there that can fit several people as all of them got in and 2001 Batman signaled Alfred to summon the others in a form of a message as they are going to love this one.
Connecticut: Gotham City
Wayne Manor: Batcave
It is a cloudy night as the moon is barely visible, buildings stand tall at night including one in particular that is still on fire due to of a explosion of some sorts. Echoes of many sounds can be heard in the night something had transpired many hours ago that shocked a city and still is. This place is a hub and hot bed of crime, corruption, financial, along with a great deal of things.
Including a few certain costumed people that dwell in a city such as a stature like this, along with famous and infamous people who live here as well.
The wind is blowing in the night to whatever direction the wind wants to go, more like the winds of change. This city is known as Metropolis's ugly step sister this city known as Gotham. Gotham City is one of the oldest Eastern urban centers in the US. It nestles at the mouth of the turbid Gotham River upon islands once peopled by the vanished Miagani tribe of Native Americans.
A Norwegian mercenary founded Gotham City in 1635, but the British later took it over. It was also the site for a major battle in the American Revolution. There is also a story that 17th-century Gotham Village's first dwelling was, in fact an asylum that predated city's infamous Arkham Asylum. A man called Hiram was first building a chapel but his partner in crime of murder insisted it to become a sanatorium.
Gotham´s 19th-century patrons envisioned their community as a concrete and steel stronghold for pious righteousness and booming industrial growth, and for many generations the wealth and business ventures of Wayne family bolstered the city's economy, but it is best known for its soaring crime rate, urban legends and Gothic spires.
Throughout the years, the architectural appearance of Gotham City has varied greatly. Currently, Gotham is portrayed as having a mix of Art Deco, Neo-Gothic and Post-Modernist styling, characterized by enormous sky-scrapers, high-reaching spires, and the presence of gargoyles and other iconic statuary.
In a cave under Wayne Manor is a cave but not an ordinary cave as it is dark and creepy just like the person who dwells in the cave. Numerous of object and places are situated in this cave. A flock of bats fly from one place to another as this place is of legends for this place is the legendary Bat Cave the main headquarters of Bruce Wayne/ Batman the crime fighter, hero and vigilante.
Wayne used the caves as a sanctum and to store his then-minimal equipment. As time went on, Wayne found the place ideal to create a stronghold for his war against crime, and has incorporated a plethora of equipment as well as expanding the cave for specific uses. Often, Bruce Wayne is depicted as having discovered the cave as a child, falling into it during exploration of the grounds in his youth.
The cave is accessible in several ways. It can be reached through a secret door in Wayne Manor itself, which is almost always depicted as in the main study, often behind a grandfather clock which unlocks the secret door when the hands are set to the time that Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, 10:48 P.M.
Another secret entrance, covered by a hologram, waterfall or a camouflaged door, allows access to a service road for the Batmobile. Another alternate entrance is the dry well where Bruce originally discovered the Batcave. The Batcave serves as Batman's command center, where he monitors all crisis points in Gotham and the world.
The cave's centerpiece is a supercomputer whose specs are on par with any of those used by leading national security agencies; it permits global surveillance and also connects to a massive information network as well as storing vast amounts of information, both on Batman's foes and his allies. A series of satellite link-ups allows easy access to Batman's information network anywhere around the globe. The systems are protected against unauthorized access.
Additionally, the cave features state-of-the-art facilities such as a crime lab, various specialized laboratories, mechanized workshops, personal gymnasium, a vast library, parking, docking and hangar space (as appropriate) for his various vehicles as well as separate exits for each type, trophies of past campaigns, a large bat colony, and a Justice League teleporter of the newly formed Justice league .
It also has medical facilities as well as various areas used in training exercises for Batman and his allies. The cave is sometimes powered by a nuclear reactor, but most often by a hydroelectric generator made possible by an underground river. As the flock of bats fly near the super computer their dropping landed on the floor with several splat sounds and these flock of bats fly else where. Footsteps are heard as a man walks up to the pile of bat poop as this man is a Caucasian male.
He stands at 5 ft 10 210lbs with balding hair consisting of white and black hair, his eyes are blue. He is dressed in a full butler's out fit. He is a former MI-6 agent double-0-four that doesn't have a license to kill any more due to quitting the service to become a butler to the Wayne family his name is Alfred Penny Worth.
"Why can't my master's bats stay clean" Thought Alfred as he takes a scoop and dust pan to pick up the mess "I thought being a British double-0 was a dirty job."
After picking up the mess and putting the mess in the basket he strolls over to the bat computer to make sure his master's machine is at peek efficiency. Being the butler of Bruce Wayne the billionaire play boy by day and by night the vigilante Batman, it is tedious work but Alfred manages to get by. He heard the bat plane come into the cave and at the same time Night wing, batgirl and Robin Tim Drake walked into the cave.
Two Batmen step out of the plane, followed by Gordon, Robin and Batgirl as the two groups just stared and blinked at each other for a moment, even Alfred is taken back by seeing two Batmen at the same time.
"Uh…Master Bruce," said Alfred "Can you please explain."
"My bat intelligence suggests," said 60's Batman "Here to meet our doubles, rather odd but interesting if you ask me."
"He meant me," said 2001 Batman
"Holy diabolical doubles, batman "said 60's Robin "This too weird or what,"
"Are you suppose to be me," asked Night wing
"Who are you?" said 60's Robin
"I'm Richard Grayson," said Rich "Former Robin and wow I never talked like that."
"So am I," said 60's Robin "Wow golly you look older than I am,"
"Long story kid," said Rich with a chuckle
"But who is that Robin," asked 60's Robin
"I'm Tim Drake," said Drake "Damn you really talked like that Dick,"
"Beats me," shrugged Rich
"You must be me," said 60's Batgirl
"Yes, I am," said 2001 Batgirl "I'm Barbra Gordon."
"Pleased to meet you," said 60's Batgirl as she takes off her mask "Barbra Gordon."
"Holy reveling revelations batman," said Robin "Our batgirl is Barbra Gordon, did you know this."
"Indeed I have not," said 60's Batman "Guess my sense of bat intelligence can be fooled by a lady," he takes off his mask.
"Blonde hair," said 2001 Batman takes off his mask
"Black hair, interesting," said 60's Batman "But impressive cave by the way."
"Holy hair brained schemes batman," said 60's Robin "You look the same but with different hair color, and Holy mooing cows,"
Robin goes on muttering holies over and over until Gordon slaps him upside the head with a whack. This brought on a series of chuckles.
"Oh, holy heartbreaking headaches," said Gordon "Will you cut that out."
So now a long series of conversations are happening in which 60's Batman is talking to 2001 Batman as it is about their adventures and all. The former Robin, the current Robin and the 60's Robin are talking as well, 60's Batgirl and 2001 Batgirl are having girl talk mentioning their adventures Gordon has had several conversations with all of them, but they know it is time for the 60's people to head back to their dimension.
Gordon inputs the coordinates and opens a portal for them to send the 60's people back to their own dimension in which they waved their goodbyes. Until the portal closed behind them and it vanished into thin air. Gordon left with 2001 Batman in knowing there is a lot to do.
