Brucie,

         I heard about what happened. I'm so sorry. I want to hang out with you, if that's okay. Like we always do, just you and me against it all.

         Anyway, my thoughts are sent to you and Alfie. See you later! OvO

                                With Love,
                                   Jack Napier.

'Hff, hff, hmph-'

'POW!' 'POW!'

'Urgh... Urgh...'

"Daily workout complete. You finished... 3.66 seconds earlier than yesterday. Good job, Bruce."

"Thank you, Alexi."

"No problem."

I picked up my sweaty towel, and threw it around the back of my neck.

Looking up to the black and yellow digital clock above me, un-grandiosely displayed on the black wall, I sighed.

'6:59 already? Jeez, I have to go on patrol soon...'

I ran my hand down my face with annoyance, then trudged my way out of the gym, with plans to make way to my master bedroom.

Barely reaching the grand staircase, I was stopped by British accent, calling my name.

"Master Bruce, no cold showers, please. They're bad for strained muscles." My butler, Alfred, nonchalantly stated.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I learned my lesson last time." I blathered on.

"So, I suppose you'll take heed to my words?" He emphasized with an epideictic tone.

I only chuckled, nodded my head, and continued up the stairs to my room down the high, glistening cherry-mahogany walls. Various portraits of the same, cold aesthetic, adorned the walls around me.

Without thought, I opened my bedroom door, walking to the washroom door, and stepped in into the bathroom connected to the room.

"Damn, my ass looks great in my batsuit."

I continued to model and parade around in my suit, until I snapped back with urgency.

"No, I've gotta get back in character- Ahem... I'm Batman. No, no, erm- I'm Batman. There."

A distant voice -from downstairs, maybe?- reached my ears, "Sir, the bat-signal was switched on!" Alfred alerted.

"Alright. Thanks, Al!"

And with that, I'm off into the night.

That was a preview! If you are interested in this plot, let me know so I can start writing!
