BATWING: THE IDENTITY THIEF/HUSH

Chapter 1

Over time, I have been following up on the identify theft.... There have so far been 3 women dead with their faces removed post mortem. Only someone in the medical field could be doing this but unknown who... they all have been dead for 3 different months. The first victim Daisy Lilith was found in an alley of the far south of Gotham in the month of March. A Romani female who was transferred here in Gotham just a few weeks before she was killed. Then the 2nd victim, Casey Whitman, was found in the Midwest of Gotham in May just two months after the first victim was killed. Another Romani female who actually lived in Gotham. Then the last 3rd victim was killed back in July. Aurora Jones, she was a veteran who served for the military for over 6 years and another Romani female victim. Found on the north side of Gotham. It seems the killer has targeted only Romani women and dumped their bodies around Gotham with bandaging their faces after the face has been removed. Then last night a 4th victim was found. Amaya Danes. She attended the charity at Wayne Manor the night before she was killed. The killer must have kidnapped their victims and done the horrors to them then dumped them just like trash. And it's in august... *sighs* I must be ready for what comes next. Then I got an alert from someone, it was Lizzie Prince (or also known as Wonder Woman), part of the new Justice League that I'm in. "Lynn, Are you alright? What happened, did they fou-" ,"Another body was found..." "The same?" I stood quiet for a second, "Lynn?" I broke out from being dazed... "Yeah. A Romani female, all the same details and memo as the others." I responded back, "Lynn, if you need help. You can ask me, Jon, Waylden, Tai, Ayesha, and M'att to hel--" ,"No. I need to do this on my own." I ended the call. So, Gotham is dealing with a serial killer. If I don't stop it, more women will get killed. I got a phone call from an old friend... Isabella Monroe or what I usually called her... Izzy. Haven't talked or seen each other since graduation from high school, we were childhood friends... Izzy lost her mom when she was pretty young and her dad... Bruce tried to save him but he was already dead... Izzy dealt with a lot of pain and grief though she never showed it but it shows that she's not weak. Though we were different... I was a child who suffered domestic violent child abuse since I was born to 8 yrs old. Since my mother was killed by those bastards who I have a blood connection to... The Court of Owls... who my mother's father or my grandfather was one of the Grandmasters of the court before. After she had me. My biological father... Willis Todd, was in jail. I was in an orphanage where I was very violently abused. I was just punched, kicked, stabbed, had fatal injuries but still survived how I don't know how I did. I still have scars inside and out... and what's worse is that I was diagnosed with autism around that time. So they abuse a disabled child. But when I got out... two years I survived on the streets though if it was another year... I would be dead. When I was 10 I met him... the Batman... or Bruce Wayne. He took me in and gave me a better life... he was actually a... real father to me... I could never admit it to him but I always think he knew. I met other family members... There was Dick Grayson/Nightwing, he was very caring and a big brother that I sort of felt comfortable with. Barbara Gordon, she was nice, we kinda talked a lot though it sucks that she couldn't walk anymore... that she was physically disabled though I liked working missions with her. Tim Drake, another brother honestly to be fair we were probably the smartest detectives along with Bruce out of the family though everyone was too but me and Tim just kept it to ourselves. I hope he's happy with Bernard, he deserves it. Damian. Could understand what it felt like coming from two violent places with others. Like League of Assassins and the Court Of Owls. We were both Robins when we were 10 yrs old, now he is also taking up Bruce's legacy as the New Batman and with me as The Batwing. Stephanie, Cassandra, Kate, Duke, and Luke were pretty nice. Though I couldn't feel happiness around them... I can't feel emotions or feelings... well except anger and rage. I still miss Bruce to this day... I can't forget what happened... but I don't want to talk about it. Nevermind, I picked up the phone and answered.

"Oh you finally picked up if this is a bad time I can call back tomorr--" "No, It's fine." "Sorry, you usually don't pick up. I was wondering, I'm free this week to hang out and catch up since I haven't seen you for a while. Well since Bruce's funeral... How are you holding up? I know it's been--" "Few years... I'm okay. I know I'm not used to losing people who were close to me..." I look back at an old photo of me and Bruce when I was young. "But I can hang out tomorrow if it works?" "That's good. I'll see you there at 2:00 pm." She ended the call. Maybe catching up to an old friend. Might be a good idea. Might...
