The birds could be heard singing as the sun arose over after high. For the first time in a very long time Bruce Wayne / Batman finally got a good night rest as he got up and stretched as he looked around. He was confused about his surroundings for about the first ten second before remembering what what had happened to him before. He was now in the world of fairy tales thanks to Hugo Strange.
'I'm also a teacher at this school now, while I look for Strange and his cohorts. But they could be honestly anywhere as this world is bigger than I could have ever have imagined. I'd better be on guard as I never know when they'll do whatever plan they have planned, or if I run into them by complete coincidence. And knowing how often that happens I'm sure I'll run into them sooner or later.' thought Batman as he tried to leave his room only to see that the lock seem to be locked from the outside.
Meanwhile outside Kitty was laughing to herself after locking her new teacher inside of his room before she noticed that he easily picked the lock and he opened the door.
"Nice try, Miss Cheshire. But next time sabotaging the lock won't be enough to stop me."said Bruce, as Kitty pouted before disappearing.
"Now, I believe I'll be meeting my new students in the gym. Let's see how playing the role of teacher plays out."said Bruce to himself, wondering how his undercover role as teacher would play out as he teaches the students of this school his skills.
...
About several minutes later Bruce was in the gymnasium with the students who had signed up for his hair look class, and much to his owner surprise he saw that Daring Charming was one of them.
"I'm surprised you're taking my class Mr Charming."said Bruce, as he would have half expected Daring to sign up and then boycott the class out of spite for his loss against him yesterday.
"I am big enough person to admit that I lost, but that doesn't mean I'm still not handsome."said Daring, as it was clear to Bruce that it was going to be a long process to get that ego in check.
"Okay lets see... Dexter Charming, Cerise Hood, Madeline Hatter, Raven Queen, Daring Charming, Apple White, Briar Beauty..."said Bruce has he looked at a young female with long long brown hair with light purple streaks through her hair.
She was wearing a pair of pink q sunglasses on top of her hair, along with a long light purple dress with black net like design, matching skirt with black rose designs, dark leggings and light purple high heeled shoes. This girl was Briar Beauty, daughter of Sleeping Beauty, and right now she was currently asleep.
Bruce rolled his eyes before he snapped his fingers, causing Briar to wake up!
"Huh, I'm awake!"exclaimed Briar, as she realized she was asleep.
"Okay she's present... let's see Hunter Huntsman, Ashlynn Ella, C.A Cupid."said Bruce has he turned his attention to the three students he just called out.
The first was a young man who had dark brown hair that was slicked back to one side. He was wearing a long sleeve green shirt with intricate Force like designs, a dark brown sleeveless hoodie, white pants, and knee length brown hunting boots.
The next was a young female with long light brown hair that was neatly combed and held with a hair braid with a rose like design. She was also wearing a long sleeve light blue puffy dress with puffy sleeves, along with a blue skirt with purple, white, and gold designs. She was also wearing slippers that looked like they were made out of glass, along with matching glass like rings around her legs.
The third what's a young female with long pink hair with a bit of dark pink streaks in her bangs. She she was wearing a pink with a puffy pink skirt with black lining, nylon stockings, and dark high-heeled shoes with heart and wing like designs. She also appeared to have wings attached to her back that look like they were completely natural.
They where Hunter Huntsman, son of a Huntsman from Little Red Riding Hood.
Ashlynn Ella, daughter of Cinderella.
And C.A Cupid, adopted daughter of Eros.
"Okay, they are all accounted for... except for..Kitty..."said Bruce, not sounding the least bit surprised that Kitty Cheshire was skipping his class.
"Sorry Mr Wayne, but Kitty likes to take a nap around gym class, or any class that involves athleticism."said Madeline, as Bruce just took a deep breath before he exited the gym.
His students looked on for confusion for a few minutes as they began wondering what was going on before he returned back to the gymnasium with Kitty tied up in a bola!
"Rarrr..."said Kitty as she was struggling through her binds, and was surprised that she couldn't just disappear out of them.
"That bola is made of Nth metal, so your magic is pretty much useless against it."said Bruce, as he let kitty go and pointed his finger, motioning for her to go join the others which she reluctantly did.
"Wow, I think that's the first time I've ever seen Kitty in the gym."said Hunter to Ashlynn, who just giggled in response as Kitty glared at them.
"So as you know my name is Mr Wayne, or call me the Dark Knight, by the way it's fine with me. Your Headmaster, Milton Grimm has assigned me to head up the heroics class. Now what is the most important thing that makes a hero?"asked Bruce as several students raise their hands, and Bruce picked out Daring.
"Looking good while saving a damsel in distress."said Daring with no hesitation, to which Bruce just pinched the bridges of his nose.
"NO...!"shouted Bruce, surprising his class as he had a pair of lungs on him.
"The correct answer is doing the right thing and not expecting anything in return. Heros are not heroes for fame, glory, or the expectation of some kind of reward. A true hero does to the best of their ability what they can to help others without expecting anything in return."said Bruce, causing many of his students to smile as they like the answer, especially the Rebels.
"But that is what my father taught me."argued Daring, but Bruce scoffed at this.
"A hero doesn't hesitate! A hero put the lives of others before themselves! A hero is meant to use their strength to help those that are weaker than them, and protect them! Stay strong, protect others, even if it means your life!"said Bruce, shocking many of his students, especially Daring.
"You think your opponent cares if you look good? You think for even a second they won't hesitate to snuff out your life?! You think you can get out of a tough battle without getting a scratch?! Well news flash for you Mr Charming, none of that is at all possible."said Bruce, speaking from his experience of being Batman over the last ten years.
"Um .."said Daring, who couldn't come up with a proper reply as his teacher got in his face.
"You showed me yesterday that you have skill, but you're arrogance and overconfidence clouds your judgment and allows your opponent to strike you when normally you wouldn't have been struck. You assume that you are destined for victory every time, but reality doesn't work like that! I see potential in you, Mr Charming and I'm going to drill that arrogance out of you, so expect extra harsh lessons from me."said Bruce, as many of his students were surprised as for the first time in what seemed like forever, Daring Charming did not have an answer.
"Woah."said Dexter, as that was the quickest he's ever seen his older brother ever get shut down as their teacher walked away from them.
"Now I'm not telling any of you to be fearless. Show me someone not afraid of dying and I'll show you a complete fool. We all get scared when the situation is really dangerous, when our lives are really in danger. But we cannot allow that fear to overcome us, otherwise let me ask you this. Can any of you honestly say you can live with yourselves if you see someone perish in front of you with the knowledge that you knew you could have done something?"asked Bruce says he turned around to face his students.
Not a single one of them could answer that question. They all hesitated as it was clear that Bruce that none of them could live with themselves if they were ever put in that scenario.
"Wow, you're really intense."said Kitty in a surprised voice, as that question he just asked really caught her off guard.
"Yeah..."said Madeline, agreeing with her fellow resident of Wonderland.
"Yeah, that was quite an intense question."said Cerise, liking her new teacher more and more, as his teaching method was more along with her style.
"I'm glad that all of you hesitated to answer that question. It's not easy to answer it right away and that is what I expected. Now I warn you now that I am a strict but fair teacher who expects the best out of my students. I expect the best that you all can do and much more. Your always welcome to come to me if you ever feel like you're in trouble and need an answer. I will try to answer you to the best of my ability."said Bruce, as many of his students were starting to like him more and more as he wasn't like the other teachers.
He wasn't as scary as Professor Bad Wolf. He wasn't as greedy as Professor Rumpelstiltskin. He didn't try to push his agendas like Professor Baba Yaga. He was a strict, but a fair kind of teacher that a lot of them felt like they could get along with.
"Now, Daring Charming, Raven Queen, Dexter Charming, Hunter Huntsman, and Kitty Cheshire! Face your teacher in combat!"instructed Bruce, confusing many of his students.
"Alright!"said Daring as hee charged in and threw the first punch, only for Bruce the side step out of the way and trip Daring, forcing him to fall to the floor.
Willing to strike first, impressive! But you make your attack to obvious to your opponent, which allows them too much time to come up with a proper counter attack."
Bruce then stepped out of the way and started somersaulting through the air as Hunter launched many arrows at him with his bow!
"Nice marksmanship! It's clear that you know how to use a bow and arrow well!"said Bruce has he charged in.
Hunter saw this and started shooting arrows at him, but Bruce easily intercepted them before spinning around Hunter, and tapping him on the shoulder, surprising Hunter!
"But it's clear you're not used to facing your opponent in close quarters."said Bruce before he tossed Hunter to the ground.
Next Kitty tried to appear behind him and scratch him, by Bruce simply started side stepping out of the way as Kitty continued trying to claw at him. This continued for about a good five minutes before Kitty ran out of steam and ran out of breath.
"Your ability to sneak up on someone is astounding, but it's clear you're not used to your opponent knowing where you are."said Bruce as he grabbed Kitty and held her in a tight embrace, causing Kitty to blush as he jumped out of the way before he was blasted with a blast of dark magic.
"Dang, so close. Sorry Kitty."said Raven, revealing she was the one who cast the spell as Bruce landed on the floor and gently let Kitty down, causing the Cheshire to slowly back away nervously with a blush on her face.
"Nice magic, Raven."said Bruce says he started walking towards Raven, causing her to fire several blast of magic at him which he intercepted with his Nth metal gauntlets.
"What?!"said Raven with shock, as Bruce stood in front of her and lightly karate chapter on the head, not really doing any damage but surprising the girl.
"Good try, you clearly use your abilities to advantage. But I have faced opponents with similar powers to yours so I know how to counter them. Good job nonetheless Raven, you showed me that you know how to hold your own."said Bruce, causing Raven to blush as she started rubbing her arm nervously.
"Man teach, you really are on a different level than us."said Hunter, as Ashlynn was helping him get up.
"Yeah."said Daring, as Dexter jumped in and started to try to use some punches on his teacher, but Bruce merely side stepped out of the way or moved Dexter's hands ever so slightly so the punches wouldn't hit him.
Batman then press two fingers together before striking Dexter in the center of his body, forcing the young man back as it look like he was hit with a tremendous amount of force as a young man fell to the floor!
"Woah! What was that?"asked Dexter as he got up, revealing that although he was knocked down he was nevertheless not injured.
"That was a trick I learned from my master Wong Fei, here's another trick he taught me."said Bruce as Hunter, Dexter, and Daring charged at him at once.
"When outmatched."said Bruce, as he threw a bunch of marbles onto the floor."cheat."
The male students in his class quickly fell on the marbles and hit the floor hard as they started rubbing their butts from the pain as Bruce walked towards them and offer them a helping hand.
"Wow, I clearly have a lot to learn from you."said Dexter, as Bruce helped him up.
"Yeah, you're like some Ninja Knight or something."said Hunter, as he was helped up by Ashlynn.
"I am a big enough man to admit when I've been bested...twice, so I'll suck up my pride and learn from you... for now."said Daring, as Bruce helped him up from the floor.
"Wow, that was absolutely wondertastic! Did you see that thing he did with his fingers where he hit Dexter! It was like Dexter was getting hit by a runaway carriage! That was so cra cra crazy I thought it was going to spill my tea."said Madeline as she took a sip from a teacup that she appeared to have pulled out of nowhere?
"Wow, I can see why Headmaster Grimm chose him to be the heroics instructor. He can really show the guys how to fulfill their destinies."said Apple, impressed by how well her teacher was doing.
"Yeah, I'm glad I was awake for this."said Briar, finding herself respecting the new teacher as he just proved himself.
"Kitty, are you okay?"asked Cupid has she noticed that Kitty was being unusually quiet.
"I'm fine. It's just that's the first time a man has ever held me."said Kitty, still feeling the effects of Bruce hugging her in order to get her out of the way from Raven's magic.
"Yeah, again super sorry I almost hit you with my magic. I was kind of caught up in the moment."apologized Raven, as Kitty appeared to be twirling her fingers.
"It's fine, I should have been more careful."said Kitty, surprising Raven and Cupid has that's the first time Kitty has ever taken responsibility for her actions
"What is going on?"asked Raven with a whisper to Cupid.
"I think Kitty is smitten with Mr Wayne."suggested Cupid, as she should know as she's the number one expert on love in this school.
Raven had to cover her mouth to stop herself from making a scene as she couldn't believe that Kitty was actually attracted to the teacher. But now that you thought of it she saw that Kitty was giving Mr Wayne way more attention that she usually does to any of her prank victims.
And based on how she was acting right now was she really smitten with the teacher?
'What is this feeling. Why does the thought of Kitty being attracted to Mr Wayne make me feel... weird?' thought Raven, unsure on what she was feeling.
Meanwhile no one seemed to notice that Blondie was recording everything that had happened for her MirrorCast!
"Oh, with this footage it's sure to be big!"said Blondie before she looked around and retreated back to her classroom as the teacher would get suspicious if she didn't return quickly from her "bathroom break"
Meanwhile Bruce didn't noticed anything as he was focused on showing his students a few pointers on what to do if they ever find themselves cornered in a dangerous situation.
Not knowing that soon he would be extremely popular throughout the school...
