The White Knight // Batman

Chapter Ninteen

He was standing there.

The possible love of my life if I could call him that. It's true, I loved him. I was falling in love with Batman but there wasn't much I could do about it. He was different from me, he couldn't love me. I was a child in his eyes. A stupid child. I was trapped in a body, I wasn't even a human. So, seeing Batman just made me angrier. My father wouldn't stop telling me to kill him and neither were the voices in my head. Could my father be lying to me? There could be that but it could be the truth. I could very well be alien scum.

"This isn't you, Jasper." He said in his deep voice. It almost sounded mechanical in a way so that I couldn't know his real voice.

"How would you know? Huh?! You don't know me!" I screamed, "I am not who you think I am!"

"You are letting anger get the best of you!" He says more quietly. He takes a step forward. I can smell fear all around me. There were bistandereds in the streets, their voices were quivering. It was like a vampire thirsting for blood. I hated this. I wanted God back. I wanted to feel safe again, this was scaring me to no end. The more got scared though, the worse everything had gotten. It was like they, being my father and the so called creators of my world were bashing me down. This had to be a hoax. God didn't make aliens. Why would He?

"You have questions, Jasper. I have the answers."

"How could you? I was locked up for days. Things are happening to me and I don't know what they are or what I am doing anymore."

"I was trying to find you," Batman comments. He was no less than two feet from me. I was standing there in my black suite I guess you can say. Out of sudden instinct, I attacked him. I started to punch him and jumped behind his back and hit him. I swear I even tried to bite him. Then, all of a sudden, when he therw me off of his back, I went invisible.

Wow! You're getting powers I never even had! You are really the chosen one, Jasper!

Chosen one?! Now I am the chosen one?!

This can't be happening to me!

"How do make this stop?!" I cried.

"We aren't done with you yet!" called out the voices, "Kill the Bat!"

"Why?!" I cried. Why was this happening? Batman was looking everywhere for me and was coming to me. He had something on his mask, something that sensed heating I guess because he was looking right at me and he was walking towards me. He wanted to help, I wanted him to help. But, as he got closer, the voices in my head got worse. They were tearing my body up again. I wasn't visible anymore and the darkness that covered me like a shell started to go away. I was weak, defencless, my ears ringing from everything that had just happened to me.

Batman knelt down to me, grabbed my hand and for once in my life, I saw him smile.

"The answers are coming, soon." He said.

And again, I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
