Gotham City. Known as one of the worst cities in America, and for good reason, its streets are filled with criminals, corrupt politicians, and leaders, and worst of all, the home of the world's infamous supercriminals. The underworld is too powerful for a normal police force to take on but it has its own dark guardian watching its streets, The Batman. The night of Gotham is a time when all of the underworld's crimes and heists begin, and that's where our story begins. A young boy by the name of Y/N L/N is about to go on his nightly looting of buildings he can sneak in. He learned quickly that in this city with no money or anything to your name, you can either join one of the many gangs to earn an un-honest living or strike out on your own to survive. And he chose the second option, and looting is one of the many he does to earn money. But this night won't be like any night, as his life will change when he gets caught in a fight with a notorious criminal and its city protector.

(Y/N's POV)

It was almost 2 am and was getting ready for another scavenge night, my mask was on, backpack on, and gloves on, and I was ready to climb out of the window. This abandoned apartment is not mine, I just found it on my third day in this city a year ago and it's been my home ever since. I jumped out and headed my way to that warehouse I saw earlier in the day as a perfect place as I saw no one enter or exit and a lack of security of any kind which will make my escape easier.

Y/N- I got this in the bag with this one.

20 minutes later...

I reached the barbed gate of the warehouse and got out my wire cutter and cut a hole to let myself in I headed to the back of the place to find the back doors I saw, and sure enough there they were and were unlocked. I went inside and was dark, luckily I didn't forget to bring my flashlight so I'm good.

Y/N's mind- Let's get the looting started.

(No POV)

As Y/N was looting, a group of men in two-colored clothing was heading to the warehouse and they carried huge crates with them, probably to hide them away from law enforcement.

Goon 1- Ok boys, the boss wants us to hide these till he gets here and make sure to watch for any possible sign of outsiders, the cops, or worse, batman.

Goon 2- Got it.

Goon 3- sure.

The rest of them didn't say anything but carried the crates. Trouble was brewing and Y/N didn't know what was even going on.

(Y/N's POV)

I was almost done with this place, I just had to stuff some useful metal scraps in my backpack along with other goods to sell to a man I know.

Y/N- Got it, ok time to get the hell out of here.

I went to the exit but then the lights went on, and I heard the large doors opening up, oh shit someone is here.

"Ok boys, time to set these down. Move it!"

And there is more out there. Shit I wasn't expecting this to go like this, now I have to sneak my way out of here but I have no idea how many people are out there but I'll look carefully. I hid behind some boxes and took a pean and saw men in black and white suits putting down some big crates with something inside of them but I didn't care about that and waited for a chance to sneak out. Once I saw fewer men there, I took my chance and snuck out but I didn't look where I was looking and bumped into some metal bars and they fell to the floor.

Y/N- Shit.

*SLAM!!*

"Huh?! Who's there?!"
