A/N: So, this is a new story, not related to my Bruce's Happiness Stories. I'm not giving up on that story but I'm putting it on temporary hiatus until I can find the inspiration and drive to continue the story. This is basically the first season (at least) of the Batman Telltale series. I recently finished the first season and started the second season, though season two isn't finished so I wouldn't do season two until it's done should I decide to. I honestly love the different spin it puts on the characters and how different things happen different ways (how Harvey became Two Face for instance). I will be adding Diana to it as Bruce's Girlfriend but she'll be on a mission for the JL instead of helping him. When she is around or talking to Bruce, she'll act very similar to Alfred. All of the things that happen in this are my choices throughout the game, what I choose to happen, who I choose to save, etc. So obviously, there will be spoilers. Also, I will not have every chapter be one episode, I will split up the each episode into multiple chapters, but will make sure you're aware of which episode it's apart of. One more thing before we start, I will have Bruce use the voice modifier like in the game but I will say that I personally hate it. I can't stand how it makes him sound but to follow the game, I will use it.

Now, without further ado, the First Chapter of Children of Arkham! (Though that is subject to change)

Thx!

An alarm sounds as I enter the Batcave. Without bothering more then a glance, I suit up and jump into the Batmobile. I arrive and grapple to the rooftop of a building across from City Hall before dropping down in front of a billboard, just in time to see a group of armed men walk onto the 52nd floor and towards the Mayor's office. The security guard that is dead downstairs had activated an alarm when he saw the guns, seconds before he was shot.

The men walk forward, triggering the security precautions and slamming metal doors to the Mayor's office shut. I switch on my voice modulator as sounds of police sirens fill the street below.

"They're on the 52nd floor." I rasp to Lieutenant Gordon after watching the armed thugs blow the elevator shaft and send it crashing to the ground. "I'm goin' in,"

"Hey, wait! Wait for backup!" He shouts to me.

"Don't need it," I reply before I pull out my grapple and aim right above one of the floor to ceiling windows. I pull it taught and allow it to pull me towards the building. I bring my knees to my chest and burst in through the window, shattering the weak glass and the flying shards knock the thug off balance. He raises his gun towards me after regaining his footing but doesn't get the chance to fire.

I yank the gun out of the thug's hands, sending his sprawling towards me. He screams right before I throw a punch after tossing his gun out the window. The thug falls to the ground and I quickly tie his foot securely with rope and then throw him out the window as well to dangle along the side of the building, unconscious.

I dash into the shadows as the other thugs come running.

"Shit," one of them curses as someone who appears to be the leader comes forward. His mask has a different look then the others.

"The hell'd he go?" another asks.

"Whatever got in, don't let it get out," the leader orders. One thug walks through the cubicles, his rapid breathing giving away his anxiety and fear. I dash behind him and find another thug. I silence him and tie him to a chair as the other approaches. He tucks his gun away as he tries to cut the other thug free. His distraction gives me the opportunity to pull out my grapple and aim it at the conscious thug's foot. He notices and pauses what he's doing, looking down as I give a swift yank, pulling him to the floor.

He falls, shouting out before the grapple pulls him towards me and into the darkness. I throw him out into the elevator shaft, tying him up before grappling to the ceiling beams. The remaining thugs come running, except for the one trying to break into the Mayor's office. I quickly move to be above the thug still unconscious and strapped to the chair. I pull him up and tie him and the chair to the beams as the three of the four remaining circle up.

I move above them and drop a smoke pellet in the middle of their small formation.

"The hell is this?" One shouts as they all begin to cough. I pick off two of them, saving the leader for last. He runs from the smoke to guard the thug still attempting to break into the office. I pull a batarang from my belt and aim at the leader's arm as he begins to rapidly fire into the open space. I drop down into the remaining smoke and look up, glaring while the white eyes of my cowl glow harshly through the clearing smoke.

The leader pulls out a handgun and aims it at me, beginning to fire, though missing terribly.

"Come at me! Come on!" I run at him, holding my arm up to protect my face. I kick the leader in the head, knocking him back and sending him crashing into the remaining goon. I punch him in the stomach then bring my fist down forcefully on his arm, forcing him to drop his gun before I grab his face and slamming his head into the remaining metal door. I then toss him behind me and turn as he gets up. We begin to circle each other as he pants before he throws a punch. I block it as he continuously throws punches and kicks, which I block or dodge before I deliver punches and kicks of my own. I shoot my grapple at the metal door behind the leader and jump, letting it pull me towards the leader. I kick into his chest and we burst through the door, him landing unconscious at my feet but I look up to see a woman in a tight black suit opening a wall safe behind the Mayor's desk.

"Didn't your mother teach you to knock?" She asks teasingly. "Behind ya big boy," I sidestep as one of the thugs is suddenly awake and swinging at me with the saw they tried breaking in with. I dodge and flip him over my shoulder, knocking him out for good. "Payday," I hear the woman say before she goes running out of the office and to the elevator shaft. I'm quick to chase.

She pulls out some sort of device that allows her to stick to the wall before pulling the elevator doors shut behind her just as I reach her. I run for the stairwell and go to grab my grapple when cops shout out to me from half a level down.

"Stay where you are!" One of the cops shouts. "You're under arrest!" They all pull their guns out as I aim for the top floor. I land at the top and sneak out onto the edge of the roof as I hear doors being pried open. I look down to see the woman walk out and take a deep breath of cold Gotham air. She pulls whatever it is she took out of her pocket and looks at it.

"Without a scratch." She sighs before tucking it back into the pocket.

"So far," I growl and watch her jump slightly. "That doesn't belong to you," I state as she turns to face me.

"I was wondering if we'd cross paths." She sits on her hip and crosses her arms.

"You broke the law. Here I am."

She waves a hand and rests her other hand on her hip. "Cut the shit," She snaps. "'The law?' Don't tell me that's why you do all….this," she gestures to me then the rooftop. "Squeeze into a suit, tie on a cape. Most people dressed up like that end up in Arkham."

"Gotham needs a hero. Someone to hunt down people like you."

"So that makes me what?" she asks, her teasing tone back. "A villain? Sounds fun,"

I squint my eyes at her, trying to figure out what she's up to.

"Gotta admit it though-you give a good chase. One day you might actually catch me." She begins to walk away.

"Tonight," I growl.

"Don't you know not to corner a wild animal?" she teases. "It's dangerous."

"Then let's put you in a cage." She pats her pocket and then crouches into a fighting stance.

"Bring it, Bat," she gestures for me to bring it on. I jump off the roof and land in her path. She's quick to strike, but I swiftly dodge her and block her attempts. She proves to be a good fighter, though, as she dodges my own movements, but barely as I nearly kick her in the side before she moves. She flings out a whip and it's comes close to my face twice before it wraps around my ankle. She yanks and I fall before she goes to whip again. I stick my arm up and the whip coils around my wrist. I slash off the end of it and knock her off balance with the weight shift. I jump up and quickly throw a few punches, which she blocks, until I get two good punches in, shoving her back multiple feet and cracking one of the red goggle lenses covering her eyes. She slashes at me with her….claws? It distracts me enough to allow her a chance to run. But as she runs up the stairs to the helicopter pad, a bright light shines down on her.

A Gotham City News copter is flying around above her and recording her as I jump up to fight her myself. I land another few punches before she begins swinging once more. I dodge and block all of her punches and scratches before landing a hard punch to her stomach. It knocks the breath out of her as I pick her up over my shoulder and throw her. She surprise me with how quick she is to get back on her feet and come swinging but as she jumps towards me, I body slam her into the ground.

"It's over," I tell her as I hold her shoulders down.

"I wouldn't be so sure," she pants at me as one of her legs pushes on my chest and her device from the elevator shaft is attached to my arm. I'm suddenly being pulled off the helicopter pad. Once the device is no longer holding me to anything, I grab it and yank it off, tossing it to the side as I roll on the ground, pulling out my grapple and aiming it at her. It hooks into the back of her suit and yanks her down to the same stretch of roof as me. She pauses to catch her breath as I stand.

As she stands and turns to glare at me, the door behind us kicks open and the police flood the roof.

"Two of 'em now?" One shouts in surprise.

"I've got him!" Another shouts as he aims his gun.

"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!" Gordon commands as I look back towards the woman dressed almost like a cat. "Do not shoot!"

She's quick to try and use my brief distraction to her advantage but she still fails to land any blows. She kicks out and I yank her arm to my shoulder and pull her over it, flinging her to the ground as the News chopper comes to shine on us once again. She gets back up and runs at me, slashing and punching but as I dodge, I see the pocket is strapped on, not attached to her suit and grab it, yanking it off and pulling out the device inside while I fake a punch before throwing the bag and a batarang to pin it to a wall.

"Why go to all that trouble," I start as she stops for a moment. "For this?" I ask, holding up the device that had been tucked into the bag.

"Shit," she curses as her eyes widen and I tuck the device into my belt. I begin to walk towards her when a gunshot rings out and there's a sharp pain in my side. I look down and see blood leaking out of my side from the gunshot. I hear the woman gasp as Gordon begins to shout.

"God damn it! I said don't shoot!" The woman runs and despite my pain, I run after her.

"No! Wait!"

I chase her back up onto the helicopter pad and pause at the top of the staircase and pull out a small EMP device from my utility belt and aim it for her throwing it and hitting her right as she jumps off the building. I quickly run after her and jump, diving off the side and plummeting down after her. I grab another one of her elevator shaft devices off her and attach it to the side of the building, feeling us begin to slow as I hold her to me. But then we run into another roof and I lose hold of the device and slide off the side.

I land on a ledge and then look up just in time to see the cat woman falling off the side and falling past the ledge towards the traffic below. I reach out and grab her, dangling over the edge with one arm holding me up and the other holding on to her. She awakens a few moments later and looks up. I notice her goggles are gone and a black eye is forming around her left eye.

"Guess I was wrong about you catching me." She states tiredly. "Not sure if it was for my sake….or yours."

"Give up! There's no way out!" I say to her.

"Gimme some credit." She shrugs the shoulder of the arm I'm not holding. I lift her up towards me.

"Bye Bat," She says seductively before scratching my jaw and letting go. She falls before the familiar sound of my grapple launching pulls her away and to the moving train passing by. I look down to see that she did indeed take my grapple but then I see my gunshot wound above the missing slot and wince.

A/N: So that was the first chapter! Yay me! This is basically how this will go, how it will sound, yada yada yada. I probably won't mention Diana all the time since, like I mentioned in the Author's Note at the top, she's on a different mission and can't always be checking in, but I will mention her every once in awhile. She won't really be a main character at this point. So please let me know what you think and I'll see you in my next chapter!

Thx!
