[1] Beware the Batman and the Black Widow [1]

The Midnight

 To Gotham by Midnight Part 3 

LOCATION: Gotham Natasha Romanoff's Apartment

2PM 

I'm suddenly awoken by a loud noise,

I think I must have slept through most of the day since it's late in the afternoon when my phone starts ringing. I rub my eyes as they adjusted to the light that blinded me as it swept through the curtains I scold myself for having such an unproductive day.

I bolt straight out of my bed to reach the phone but my bed sheets clung to my legs as if they didn't want me to leave them but luckily I get to my ringing phone just in time

"Hello?" I tirelessly say into the phone

"Afternoon Agent Romanoff we thought you would like to know that we have tracked that ship called the 'Midnight' it just left the Southern Atlantic Ocean its headed straight to Gotham City, we calculate that it should reach Gotham around 2 o'clock tomorrow morning" my ARGUS contact informs me, I grab a notebook and quickly write down the important information

--------------------------------------------

"Freighter Name: 'The Midnight

Drop off time: 2am Gotham Harbour 

Contents: £5 million worth of fire arms????? 

Name on Manifest: ?????????" 

----------------------------------------------

"Thank you, uh I don't suppose there was a name on the manifest or perhaps the registered contents of the cargo?" I hopefully ask the contact  

"No there wasn't, and Black Widow we're not your personal assistants" the contact tells me and abruptly hangs up, I look at my silent landline in disbelief,

I knew they still weren't fans and no matter how much good I did they will always hate me because I will always be Black Widow Assassin, Ex KGB, Killer and Traitor in their eyes,

 I always tried to avoid going to them for help they would always want something in return and those favours would usually test my moral compass.

I go over to my computer where they had sent me the live map to where the Midnight was at the moment,

 I make my way over to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee it was a bad habit that I had picked up since I moved to America not that I needed coffee to feel awake not that I was as reliant on it as say Bruce but I always seem to make a fresh pot in the morning,

I nervously check out my direct link on my phone to Batman but as expected there was nothing there

<Well of course the reception in space wouldn't be very good> 

But I kept finding myself worrying about my friend he was somewhere in the big unknown I'd like to think that if something did happen to him then I would know, that some sort of feeling of dread would wash upon me but truthfully if something did happen to him then I wouldn't know and that bothered me more than I would let on. 

I decide to distract through some work,

I overlook the Midnight's manifest it had previously stopped in a few places south of the border I suspect that the guns where boarded around there and hopefully whoever was behind the smuggling was on the freighter too.

LOCATION: Bat Cave

12PM

In the Bat Cave I pack all the gear that I think I might need which includes some night vision googles, my new stingers that I've been desperate to give a good test run I wrap them around my slender wrists they must weigh at least one kilogram each when I first started using the stingers they would cause a lot of strain on my wrists but since the I've gotten used to it,
