Paektu Mountains, North Korea

Y/N's POV:

After spending five years abroad training my body and my mind, I've decided to finally come back home. I called Alfred so he could pick me up. I gotta say, I feel good finally seeing him again. He's been there for me when no one else was. And right now, he's the only one I can trust.

Alfred arrives in the Wayne family private jet

In the jet:

Alfred: Are you coming back to New york for long, sir?

Y/N: As long as it takes. I want to show the people of New York that their city doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt.

Alfred: In the financial crisis, your father nearly bankrupted Wayne Enterprises combating poverty. He believed that he could inspire the wealthy of New York to save their city.

Y/N: Did it?

Alfred: In a way. Tony Stark was still living in Malibu by that time, but the murder of your parents shocked wealthy and powerful people like him into action.

Y/N: People need dramatic examples to inspire them, and i can't do that as Y/N Wayne. As a man, I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, destroyed. But as a symbol...I can be incorruptible, everlasting.

Alfred: What symbol?

Y/N: I don't know. Something terrifying, something inspirational, and definitely something that doesn't involve red spandex.

Me and Alfred share a laugh

Alfred: I assume this symbol of yours is a persona to protect those you care about from reprisals?

Y/N: Thinking about anyone in particular, Alfred?

Alfred: I'm thinking about myself, sir.

Y/N: Have you told anyone I'm coming back?

Alfred: I couldn't figure the legal ramifications of bringing you back from the dead.

Y/N: Dead?

Alfred: You were gone for five years.

Y/N: And so was half of the world, galaxy and universe.

Alfred: Differently from the people that were gone during Thanos' snap, you haven't returned last year. And it was Mr. Earle's decision to declare you dead, since he's trying to tale the company public. He wanted to liquidate your majority shareholding. They're worth quite a bit of money.

Y/N: Well, it's a good thing i left everything to you, then.

Hours later, we arrive back in New York and Alfred reintroduces me to my home, Wayne manor

Walking around the gardens, i see a familiar sight...the hole where i fell down when I was a kid.

I go down the hole using some rapelling gear I found in my father's room.

When i get there, i see the gap where the bats came from and get in there, only for it to reveal a huge cave on the other side

Moments later, bats start flying around me, but unlike last time, I'm not afraid. I just stand there

A/N: And just like that, chapter one is out!
