Chapter 1 - The Chase


"You either die as a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villan." - Harvey Dent

3 Years Later...

Gotham City, 2014


It's a night in Gotham City as G. C. P. D. blimp flies over the city with a light glowing from one of its flashlights.

Under the blimp, a train was moving on its rail. 

And under that, was an old warehouse. In it, a meeting was taking its place between some people. They're probably those so-called 'drug lords.'

They were sitting at the table long enough for making one of them walk up to the table.

???: "The hell you say. You didn't set this up? Then whose party is this?"

One guy in the chair, wearing a coat around his head decided to respond.

???: "I thought it was you east-side losers. You already rolled over for the Black Mask."

Then, a black guy (not racist) speaks up. 

???: "Rolled over? The Mask whacked six of my crew in a month. Six!" He cast his gaze downwards "Some of my best people."

He says as he slams his hand at the table and turns.

???: "So you set up this meet?"

The standing guy asks him.

???: "No, I thought it was Chi-Chi." The black guy points at that S.O.B sitting on his right side.

???: "Wasn't my meet." He said while shaking his head and shrugging.

That was enough for a guy with a coat who got fed up and gets up.

???: "Oh, the hell with this. I'm gone. You 'brain donors' wanna hang around - -"

Unknown: " Sit down -- Freddie!"

That's when they were cut by a voice coming from above. They all look up, and from their standard, there was a figure taking shape of a familiar vigilante. 

Unknown: "It's my meeting." He added.

???: "It's him." He said with hatred, pointing at the shadow.

???: "Batman?"

???: "We didn't do anything!"

That's where the figure stepped from the shadows, revealing a guy wearing a red helmet as he walks to the edge, holding a good fashioned AK-47, customized for death dealings and intimidation.

Unknown: "Well, we all know that's a lie."

Then all the people below him point their weapons at them.

???: "Who the hell are you?" 

???: " Smoke him!" One of them immediately commanded.

Drug dealers not listening? No problem. 

The guy with the red helmet simply pulled the trigger and fires his weapon, no one was killed. Not sure about the sudden color between their pants.

Unknown: "I said 'Sit down!'" He said in a demanding tone. 

As if this time, there will be a killing.

???: "You wanna die!? There is easier ways to kill yourself." - A guy with a coat yells at him.

Unknown: " Yeah, like yelling at the guy who's holding the AK-47."

He leans on the fence.

Unknown: "Listen to me, you drug-peddling scumbags. I will be running the drug trade from now on. You eight are the most prosperous street dealers in Gotham. I'm offering you morons a deal. You go about your business as usual, but kick up 40 percent to me." He shortly paused and leaned comfortably. "That's a much sweeter deal than the scraps Black Mask is leaving you. In return, you will have total protection from both Black Mask and Batman. But you stay away from kids and schoolyards. No dealing to children got it? If you do... you're dead."

He says as they listen to his offer.

???: "Okay, crazy man, this is all very generous. But why in the hell should we listen to you?"

A bag is dropped on the table. The man walks to it and unzips it... The smell was bad, let alone the view.

Others are shocked, some back away, as one guy throws up.

???: "Damn." - Says the black guy while zooming to the view.

Unknown: "Those are the heads of all your lieutenants. That took me two hours." He reloads the gun. "You wanna see what I can get done in a whole evening? Make no mistake. I'm not asking you to kick in with me. I'm telling you!"

He then fires the remaining bullets at them as they jump on the ground. 

And suddenly, the firing stops. 

They look up but all that they could see was a cloud of smoke as the guy with a red helmet just...disappears.

???: "Forty percent works for me." - Says a guy with a coat to his fellow.

Y/N POV

It was the next day, as I'm looking at the Gotham port. I threatened 3 guys to steal a shipment from a Black Mask, just to make him get my attention because he was a part of my plan.

But of course, Batman had to appear. When I saw my old mentor, I got angry. Not just he didn't avenge my death by killing the Joker but also replace me as Robin. 

This time is his actual blood is in the Robin costume.

From the information I got, his name is Damian. He was born because Bruce had an after with Talia al Ghul in a one-night stand. 

And that reminds me that her father -Ra's al Ghul- who brought me back to life, using a Lazarus pit.

It didn't just give me more strength... but I can feel I have something more than just that. Something in me, like magic. 

But my thoughts are interrupted as I now see Batman and Dick aka Nightwing, who appeared while I was in my thoughts. I always considered Dick as my older brother, but even he didn't avenge me. 

I can see that three idiots are going to explain everything to them. 

I take out my sniper and took the position. Take the aim and... *Bam,* first guy exterminated. 

Then I shoot the other one, and then the 3rd one, and I knew that I better get up and rush out from the sight, seeing Bruce and Dick taking cover. That bruce will try to give a chase.

I jump on the roofs, but I can clearly hear a familiar aircraft in the sky. 

I jump down once again, the batwing is directly above me.

I run-up to the car and start the engine off, driving away. Yes, I can drive... I learned a lot in these 3 years.

I drive on the road, skipping cars, not caring for others as Batwing follows me. I saw the tunnel. 

Y/N: "I can lose him in there." - I thought.

I drive in, but of course, Bruce has his tricks as Batwing shink his wings and flies in.

Then a hook was shoot at the roof of my car as we drive out of the tunnel.

The Batwing tries to stop me, lifting the car in the sky, not this time batman.

I pulled the lever, which removes the roof of my car I drive forward.

And just like that, Bruce chasing me until I take the turn and drive towards the old warehouse but not an ordinary one.

I drove through the door around the warehouse then through one of its doors, straight into it as I jump out, as the car crashes into one of the tanks, as the liquid starts leaking out. I ran and hide, waiting for Bruce to come in.

3RD POV

Batman crashes through the window as he lands on one of the platforms.

He gets up and sees a lot of tanks with a red liquid in them. He turns and sees a car in which an unknown person drove there. He turns to his right and sees the platform, the one where his first greatest failure happened.

He gets flashbacks where he tried to arrest a man with a long red Mask, unfortunately, he fell over the fence into one of the tanks. 

It was the person who later became his greatest villain. It was the birth of a Joker.

Batman walks up to the place where it happened. He then looks up, greeting his teeth as he sees the person with a red mask on the platform higher than on which he is standing, aiming a pistol at him.

Unknown: "Hard to forget that night, huh?"

Red (that's how I will calm him in this part) says as he cokes the gun as Batman fully turns to him.

Unknown: "In a way, Batman, this was the site of your first great failure. Maybe your greatest, but certainly not your last, right?"

Batman narrows his eyes at Red, probably because it struck a nerve.

Unknown: "Ah memories." He teased.

Then Red moves his pistol at the car and shoots it. 

The car lights up then an explosion happened from the tank as Batman cover himself with a cape. He looks up and sees the Red has started running. He fires his grapple hook up and jumps on the platform and starts the chase.

The car exploded as it was sent in the air, destroying the way for Batman as he gets back, but falls, going straight down into the tank.

But he fires his hook as it attaches at the ceiling, just before he fell into liquid and goes up as the explosion sends him out of the building, landing outside- 

As the building explodes.

Batman gets up and stares at the building as the smoke was going into the air. 

[TIMESKIP] 


In the Batcave, we see a Robin suit, but with a hood and more modern, then the camera moves to the bat computer where Bruce is sitting in the chair while Dick is standing near him.

Dick: "This bit of intel is what brought me to town. Good thing I've always had perfect timing. Take a look."

Dick takes out a USB and plugs it into the computer. Then, a video was displayed. 

But Bruce pauses it and zooms on a figure running on a rooftop. 

It's the same figure he encountered in the warehouse.

Dick: "I got this shot from a snitch. He says that this guy's been making some serious moves."

The billionaire playboy responded with a low raspy voice.

Bruce: "The Red Hood." His eyes were narrowed at the mention of that name.

Dick: "Might be. He bears a resemblance to the original."

He says as Bruce taps on the computer as different photos of different people wearing red hood showing up.

Bruce: "Several criminals have utilized this personal."

Dick: "One criminal of particular interest, though. But he's locked up."

Bruce: "Not his m.o. either. There's been an uptick in heavy trafficking, but crime is down."

Then Alfreds walks to them, caring 2 cups to them.

Alfred: "Indeed it is. Master Bruce got almost three hours of sleep in the last two days. True busman's holiday."

Dick takes one cup and puts 2 spoons of sugar in tea.

Dick: "But he is locked up. Like, a lot locked up. Maybe we should go for a visit."

When Dick turns to Bruce, he's gone as Dick puts a confused face. He hears an engine turning on. He turns to his left and sees a batmobile activated.

Dick: "Could you just once say 'Let's get in the car?' Is that so hard?" 

He says as he puts his cup down and runs up to the batmobile and jumps in as the hatch close.

Batmobile drives off out of Batcave on the road, driving towards Gotham City.

Arkham Asylum.

The camera moves through halls, guarded by guards and doors when it comes to the door of the cell. In it are Batman and Nightwing, interrogating the prisoner in it. It was the Joker. 

Joker looks at the two. 

Joker: "You look good. Been working out? You could probably use a little sun. Then again, who am I to talk?" 

Then he laughs as the Batman puts the picture of Red Hood at the table. 

Joker stops laughing as he leans to get a better view. 

Batman: "He's calling himself the Red Hood. What do you know about it?"

Joker: "That he has the horrible taste. When I wore that number, it was classy. More flashy maitre d' than motorcycle fetish. Oh, these kids today."

Then Nightwing leans on the table, pointing at the Joker. 

Nightwing: "If you're behind this in any way, we will find out. You're not - -" 

Joker: "Oh, Bird Boy, you're so much less fun now. All grown up and in your big-boy pants. Still, better off than his replacement, right? Even tougher making with the yuks when you're worm food, huh?" 

Batman narrows his eyes and greets his teeth as he launches himself at the Joker, grabbing him by the collar and throws him at the door. 

Before he falls, he catches him by the throat and pins him at the wall. 

Even in the choked position, Joker makes a smile. 

Joker: "You gonna do it this time? Or you just gonna put me in another body cast for six months?"

Batman holds him tighter as Nightwing looks with anxiety. To his relief, Batman drops Joker on the floor. 

Joker takes a few breaths before speaking. 

Joker: "So disappointing. But back to the matter at hand... this new hoody. You really think I would stir up so much trouble... and not make sure you knew it was me?" 

He starts laughing as Batman and Nightwing exit the room. The door closes behind them as the laugher can still be heard.
