Feathers Beneath Leather Wings

Fateful Encounter in Crime

Bruce Wayne, a young man driven by tragedy and a burning desire for justice, walked the desolate streets of Crime Alley. It was here, where his parents had met their untimely end, that he sought solace in his never-ending quest to rid Gotham City of crime. Little did he know that this night would forever change his life and set in motion the creation of a legendary alliance.

As Bruce made his way through the shadows, his keen eyes caught a glimpse of two figures attempting to pry open the doors of the Batmobile. With stealth and precision, he closed the distance, ready to confront the intruders.

"Stop right there!" Bruce's voice rang out, carrying a mix of authority and concern. "What do you think you're doing?"

Jason Todd, a young man with a troubled past and a hunger for justice, turned to face Bruce. "We didn't mean any harm. We just wanted to get your attention, Batman."

The other figure, Alex Mason, stood beside Jason, his expression determined. "We've heard about your mission, your fight against crime. We want to be a part of it. We want to make a difference."

Bruce studied them carefully, his gaze shifting from one to the other. He recognized the fire in their eyes, the determination to change the world. "Stealing from me won't earn my trust. But if you truly desire to fight for justice, I can offer you a different path."

Jason's eyes widened with curiosity. "What do you mean?"

Bruce extended an invitation, his voice filled with conviction. "Join me. Become my partners. I will train you, guide you, and together, we will bring fear to the hearts of those who prey on the innocent."

Alex's gaze locked with Bruce's, a mix of awe and determination in his eyes. "You're willing to give us a chance?"

Bruce nodded, his expression unwavering. "I see potential in both of you. Gotham needs more than just one vigilante. It needs a team willing to take a stand against the darkness. Will you accept my offer?"

Jason exchanged a glance with Alex, a silent understanding passing between them. They had found their purpose, their opportunity to make a difference. "We accept, Batman. We'll prove ourselves worthy of your trust."

And so, in the darkened streets of Crime Alley, a pact was forged. Bruce Wayne, Jason Todd, and Alex Mason began their journey, training tirelessly, honing their skills, and becoming a formidable force against the criminal underworld. Together, they would carry the legacy of the bat and forever change the face of Gotham City.
