X-Men Mansion:
The mansion was silent, Scott was in the danger room; Jean was reading a book and Kurt was eating silently in the kitchen. Logan liked moments like this, just peace and quiet "Too bad it can't stay like that always" he mused to himself as he walked around the mansion making sure it was safe, with the professor and Ororo out of town, so it was up to him to "Babysit".
He stopped dead in his tracks when he smelled the familiar cent of blood. It was coming from Bruce´s room. He made up his mind and knocked on the door "You all right in there bub?" Logan sniffed the air again; yes definitely coming from there "Yes Logan I´m fine" came the calm reply of the young human they had accepted within their ranks. Logan made a face "It doesn't smell like it" when no reply came, Logan opened the door. He saw the young man trying to close a very large wound on his left shoulder. Logan sighted and shook his head "Didn't the professor told you not to go out alone kid" he grabbed a nearby chair and helped him cure his wounds "I know but I have found him" Logan raised an eyebrow "Who are you talking about? Crane?" Bruce shook his head sadly. "No Crane is still missing".
Logan sighted "Too bad I wanted to make him pay for what he did to half pint" Bruce chuckled "You mean Kitty? Logan nodded "Well if it's not Crane then who?"-"killer Croc" Logan frowned, well that certainly explained why the kid looked like he had been attacked by a tiger. When he was done he turned to Bruce "You know, we won't think less of you if you ask for our help"-"I know that, but Croc may know where Crane is, so I leaped into action". Logan nodded "Are you going to look for him?" Bruce nodded "Yes, but not today I´m weak from our encounter and so is he, so he won't cause trouble today and I promised Kitty that we would go to the park today" Logan smirked "Oh so you and Kitty are going on a date, huh?" Bruce rolled his eyes "No we´re not, we are just going to take a walk and buy ice cream" Logan shook his head "Well you´re truly as blind as a bat" he said as he left Bruce´s room. "Are you going on a date with kitty?" Kurt popped out of nowhere making Bruce jump slightly "you know it wouldn't hurt if you walked through the door" Kurt grinned "Did I scare the Batman? Awesome"-"No you just surprised me, I don't get scared easy" Kurt rolled his eyes and sat in Bruce´s bed "Sure, sure, but don't change the subject you´re going on a date with Kitty, JA?" Bruce sighted and ran a hand through his face "No I'm not, is just a walk" Bruce looked at his friend who had a silly grin on his face "You don't believe me do you?" Kurt shook his head "Nein" Kurt quickly changed his stance and looked down.
"Hey I couldn't help but to over hear you and Logan is it true is Croc here in Bayville" Bruce nodded solemnly "Yes, but you don't have to worry, we will deal with that later"
"So this is Bayville, pfft what a pathetic little place" a young woman said as she walked down the streets of the small town. Her short white hair moved slightly with the breeze, she knew she was the first assassin to arrive, she wanted to be the that completed this job, to kill the ever-growing famous Batman, with that she would earn the respect of the world and probably of her father. She had to be fast, the other assassins where hot on her heels; but she was confident she would defeat him after all she was Ravager after all, daughter of Deathstroke.
"Father" she said with venom in her voice and she touched her left eye. It still hurt at night; she felt weakness wash over her once again. She knew that he didn't like kids he called them annoying little brats. But being only ten she still had the hopes that he would care for her. But everything changed in one faithful night, he had trained since she was four to be an assassin like him, but he was growing restless and of all the virtues that Slade Wilson possessed he did not have patience. He drugged her and forced to cut her own eye, when she came back to her senses she saw him just standing there, with a frown "You we´re weak" he stated with a disapproving tone, she was at the floor whimpering and sobbing "I´m only seven!" she remembered she had cried out. He scoffed at her "So? I wanted to make you into the best assassin in the world and if I wanted to that I had to start from an early age, but you failed to show results"
He sighted and passed a hand over his unnatural white hair, the only trait she had inherit from him "I should have know; I pampered since birth no wonder you turned out to be such a weakling" he turned and looked at her darkly, making her feel a pit forming in her stomach "but now you have to learn how hard the world truly is" and with that he turned and left.
She waited for hours for him to come back and ask for forgiveness but when it became obvious that he wasn't planning to come back she grabbed one of his spare eye patches and some of his weapons and set out to survive.
"Alone" she murmured to herself. For two years she had to fight to eat and sleep always moving, never staying in one place. She wanted all of that to stop. With the money they were offering for Batman´s head she was sure she could buy a nice place somewhere nice, like metropolis. She quickly shook her head to get out of her fantasy she had work to do.
Ravager jumped from rooftop to rooftop looking everywhere for the Batman. Her eye scanned the small town; "It´s such a small town how is he hiding? Is he even out at this hour?" she looked at her clock 4:50 PM, she mentally scolded herself, Bats where nocturnal most, crimes happened at night. "Of course he will only come out at night. She shook her head and made her way to the park "That way I will be able to kill a little bit of time before the Bat comes out" she sneered "And when he does, I will strike him down"
