Prometheus - A DCAU Fanfic.

02:07 - Bludhaven Batcave.

 Located under an empty Wayne Industries owned warehouse, the Bludhaven Batcave, was a large open square space, with reinforced walls, ceiling and doors, and had its own hospital set up, workshop, training centre, and a slightly less powerful version of the Batcomputer.

Tim and Stephanie, currently acting as the Cities protectors, and who were told to sit the mission to Penguin's safehouse out, were already in the cave, waiting for Bruce, Dick and Cassandra to return. The two passing the time in different ways, Tim chose to go over details of a burglary case they were working, while Stephanie practised her Jujitsu strikes on a training dummy.

One of the four walls opened up, and seconds later, the Batmobile appeared, skidding to a halt on the lazy susan, built into the floor.

The vehicle was a miracle of machinery, a sleek, long super-car, with two dark pieces of steel jutting out of the back, symbolising a bat's wings, multiple gadgets to help with the vigilante's crusade, and an opaque bulletproof red visor, which protected the passengers. It combined the armour and weaponry of a tank, and the speed and manoeuvrability of a Formula 1 car. There was truly no other car like it.

The visor slid back into the rear of the car's, allowing Batman, Nightwing and the Black-Bat, to exit.

"Where are we on finding Prometheus?" - Bruce growled, angry at how the night's events had occurred, after the incident with the Bludhaven police, the three had scoured the city for the two men, yet found no trace of them.

"Uh..." - Tim rolled the desk chair, he was sitting in, back over to the computer, with a single click of the mouse, he brought up a tab containing all the information he could find on the mercenary, which frankly, wasn't much.

"Is that it?"

Tim sipped his coffee. - "The two cover their tracks well... but I did manage to put together a relative timeline for the masked merc." - He clicked a file, bringing up the starting point of his presentation. - "His first appearance was in March 2018, at the Illegal Brazilian fighting ring, apparently he went undefeated against thirty consecutive opponents, lasting five hours in the ring, before Cops raided the place, he managed to slip away though. Then-"

"What about the Calculator?" - Cassandra interrupted.

"What?"

She crossed her arms. - "You didn't mention him."

"I was getting to that." - He assured, before clicking on the next bit of information, he manged to dig up. - "Next, Prometheus then went to Africa, and worked as a mercenary for rebel forces, this also marks the first sighting of the Calculator, the two became partners and apparently dismantled the corrupt government of Egypt. Four months later, he appeared again, this time seemingly working for Terrorist forces in the Middle-East, information is iffy, but from what I gathered, between October 2019 and January 2020, he worked in Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Iran and Saudi-Arabia."

Tim brought up a third file. - "For the rest of the year, the two seemingly went on a campaign to destroy all of Hong Kong's triads. Specifically, they seemed to have a grudge against Zhu Ling's syndicate. They destroyed all of his illegal operations, as well as most of his cover businesses, before Prometheus seemingly assassinated the man."

"Maybe there was a history between Zhu Ling and Prometheus, or possibly the Calculator... That's why he was targeted?" - Stephanie suggested, shouting over from the training centre.

Tim shook his head. - "While highly possible due to Ling controlling a vast criminal empire, it would take far too long to go through every enemy he made, he was so hated, on reveal of his death, the Chief Executive of the Government declared the anniversary of his death a national holiday."
