Chapter 11

THOMAS WAYNE

Thomas Wayne rode down the elevator at Wayne Enterprises after a very busy day. While he enjoyed being the head of the company's technology and innovation sector, the work was rather tiring.

The launch of the new phones and laptops had gone as expected, their stores were packed, and they had basically run out of stock for the next half year. Right now, he was working on their next big project, and it was quite a hassle.

Apart from that, he was also dealing with constant threats to his life and a missing friend who hadn't called on him for two weeks now. The attack on Rachel had been an eye-opener and just the tip of the iceberg; it seemed that Falcone was becoming desperate and was planning something big, for he had now put out a price for both their heads.

Thomas could handle that, yet the issue was with Rachel. So, that is why he had leaked Falcone's plans for the port today to Batman by sending GPS coordinates to his phone.

He was quite sure that Bruce was suspicious of him knowing of his dual life, and though Thomas had initially thought of not associating himself with this, that notion was now long out of mind. He was now involved and planned to confront Brue in a week or so about his parallel life, plus someone needed to advise him to set up a mirage as well, for with his current reclusive lifestyle, it wouldn't be long before people began to connect the dots.

And as his private elevator came to a halt, he stepped out of it and onto the company ground floor, which was now empty apart from his security detail, though suddenly he felt his phone vibrate, and when he took it out, he stilled as he saw just why had it done so.

This was a distress call from Selina, something which had never happened before. He rushed out of the building rushing to his car, and connected the cameras in her mask to the screen, and realized why she was calling him.

She was trapped.

"What do you want from Thomas?" she questioned, and he knew she was buying him time.

"I believe you don't deserve to know that. And though I find your attempt to reform yourself is futile. A criminal is a criminal and must face punishment for his actions," and Thomas had an inkling just who this man was.

"My sister is innocent." She spoke rather loudly, and he stilled as it all clicked together, and he pulled on the average-looking radio knob in his car, twisting it quickly as his heart thumped in his chest.

"Protocol Charlie activate! I repeat, activate Protocol Charlie. The primary objective is rescue and evacuation. I repeat, the primary Objective is rescue and evacuation!" He ordered into the coms.

"Copy!" came the answer, easing his heart slightly.

Thomas didn't particularly like violence, yet he was never going to let that stand in the way of his ambitions. So before taking on the criminal enterprise of this city, he had set up a private security firm, one kept off the books, filled with ex-military men whom Arthur himself had vetted.

Their purpose was to provide security for people he held dear. A small squad was also stationed near Selina's home just to deal with a scenario like that.

He could feel Selina's heart racing as he put his hands on the steering wheel of the car, his foot flooring the gas pedal, as the tires screeched on the concrete road, and he saw her raise her gauntlet to her ears.

"Jump!" he told her, assuring her that he would rescue her sister. And then his car was racing through the streets, running past lights as he raced towards the Selina's apartment, hoping that he would make it in time, for though Thomas may not beat up criminals like his elder brother, that didn't mean he was completely defenseless for though Alfred may have vetted those men, it had been Thomas who had trained with them for years now.
