Wiskers

Chapter 5

By the age of eighteen I had undergone a complete transformation from this timid and shy girl to a confident young woman, whereas when I was six it was easy for anyone to come into my life and be my friend now it was not so easy, for fear of loosing anyone I kept a wary distance between me and friendship, the grief of loosing Pam had never left.

'...In a shocking turn of events now as we go live to the scene of the crime at Gotham's first bank where survivors are wondering who, or what saved them...

...It swooped in like a dark angel and threw the robbers to the floor...

...It was like a bird of some kind or a bat...

...Whatever it was it scared the living daylights out of me...

...We are currently unsure of who or war saved them but will keep you updated on this bat m-''

"Ah shut it off would ya... and get me another martini"

"Are you sure Selina, I mean you've had quite a lot to drink"

"Oh forget the drink just shut that damn box off!"

Travis reached up to the tv attached on the wall then the screen went blank. Travis was the bartender on at the bar tonight and the only person that seemed to show a little kindness towards me.

"Selina I'm shutting the place up for the night, ya need a ride home?"

I shook my head and wandered out of the bar and towards my small flat in east Gotham

I threw open the doors of my apartment shouting

"Honey I'm home"

I was greeted by my black cat mischief, then I slammed the doors and slumped into the chair in front of the TV pulling off my boots as I did so. I clicked the button for the TV and flicked through the channels, some cheesy sitcom, music videos, dramatic movie, news. I finally settled on watching the latest news stories.

"...These ancient Egyptian cat statues are over one thousand years old and are extremely rare and expensive..."

"Hmm must make sure to visit then sometime" I said stroking mischief

"...Now onto the main story that is shocking people all over Gotham. who is this mysterious bat man and can he be trusted..."

The TV then showed a video clip that someone had sent in from their phone, it was of a tall man in a dark black armour, he had a gold belt around his middle and a mask over his face disguising whoever he was, his mask covered his whole face except eyes and mouth and had two large points sticking out from the top- like bat ears. the man was beating up some people robbing the bank then turned to face the camera. a wobbly voice came from behind,

"Who. who are you?"

The man looked up to the camera directly as if to address the whole city

"I'm Batman"
