White Knight-Batman SI (Bruce x Rachel)(OC x Selina Kyle)

Part 36

Chapter 36b

SELINA KYLE

The fallout from the whole Joker and Wayne Enterprises ordeal had been massive and despite it being weeks since the whole issue had been resolved things were still not back to normal.

The mayor had been forced to reign once his connection to the Talia had been made public, along with their new DA Harvey Dent who had been the mayor's instrument of attack in all this.

Gotham was still reeling from the shock. Speculation about Batman's secret identity had gotten even more intense, and now there were dedicated TV shows about this whole affair. Thomas planned to have all this speculation end soon, yet forcing news as such down would have the opposite effect, in his words, and they just had to muddy the water.

Thomas had regained control of Wayne Enterprises, even though the main culprit behind the whole affair, Ducard's daughter Talia, had managed to slither away in the ensuing chaos.

"I still cannot believe that you were rescued by Batman," uttered her sister Helena as she sat in her room, huddled up beside her as they had some alone time. Thomas was still at the company, trying to get everything back in order.

"It was nothing special," she replied as Helena looked at her wide-eyed.

"Nothing. You were rescued by Batman. The Batman! Do you know just what kind of bragging rights that gives me at school that my sister was saved by the caped crusader," she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Selina couldn't help but wonder how much more surprised she would be if she learned that they were currently living in the same manner as Batman as well.

"Tell me what was he like?" she bombarded him with questions, which Selina continued to ignore, her eyes still glued to the TV screen where a list of names continued to be spouted as a possible identity for Batman, that was until suddenly the whole broadcast was interrupted.

SHHHHHHH.

SHHHHHHH.

The screen scrambled, making Helena quiet down. Selina frowned. That should not happen.

"Al..." she was about to call Alfred when suddenly text began to appear on the screen once more shuffling greatly as a silhouette of a head flickered as well.

"You are not alone!"

HARVEY DENT

Harvey Dent had his whole life turned upside down in a month. What was once a promising and stellar career as the chief prosecutor as Gotham's Da had been turned to smoke, and it was all because of one man.

Thomas Wayne.

The rich scion of the Wayne family was the undeclared ruler of the city, using his wealth and influence to get away with things that would have landed any normal person in prison. When Harvey had taken his oath as the Da he had taken an oath to rid Gotham of all evil, including one that seemed to be worshipped by the city.

And when a possible connection with the Mob has showed up he had felt that this was his calling, that this was what he could use to nail this proverbial saint.

He had been encouraged by their mayor to go after the Wayne scion, and he had and in just a few weeks the career he had spent half his life building up had gone up in smoke.

Even the people whom he had called friends, had distanced themselves from him to not incur the wrath of the man named Thomas Wayne.

And now as he sat alone in a shitty bar, sipping cheap wine as his head tumbled, someone sat down beside him.
