The Dark Knight: The Rise Of Heroes

The Dark Knight (Chapter 3)

//15 Years Ago//

‘But mum…’ complained the young spoiled teenager ‘I want to go see the new yacht with you and dad’ and yet however much he wanted to complain his mother wouldn’t let him go out this late with his father and herself mostly because he had school the day after. The Queen Manor was once a happy home which carried the lives of a happy yet unfortunate family, the young teenager stood by the entrance door while watching his mother and father starting to leave the front yard of the Queen Manor but before they left so far that the young teenager couldn’t see them something unfortunate and despairing had occurred outside the front yard of the Queen Manor.

The two lovely parents were in torturous pain once they felt the tip of a black sharp metallic arrow having raced down through the father’s heart, the father was in discomfort pain in which he looked down at the black arrow which was injected so deep into his heart that he’d seen the end of the tip from the arrow drained with his blood, the father raised his head up and looked at Moira Queen who stood aside of him crying and screaming in agony and sorrow.

The young scared and angry teenager was being held back by a guard inside the Queen Manor as Moira had ordered the guard to do.

The mother could not stop the hurt inside of her body that was aching but no longer had she needed to feel this pain and hurt, a black arrow from behind suddenly quickly pierced the mother through the back of her neck, her blood was drenching down her clothes and onto the ground she fell, both Robert Queen and Moira Queens bodies were close to each other.

//8 Months after the explosion of Queen Industries//

Oliver stared down at the image of his parents, he wouldn’t ever let himself forget what it was like seeing the two people he cared about die in front of him 15 years ago… He placed the small image of his parents into his wallet, the living room was being accompanied by Oliver Queen and Bruce Wayne.

Bruce: The construction for your company will be done in a few weeks

Oliver:.... *He didn't seem to pay attention to what Bruce had said to him* Why'd you become the Batman?

Bruce: To bring justice to criminals of this city, criminals that are burning down my city... Why'd you become The Arrow?

Oliver: To bring justice to the criminals in MY city... But also to remind myself that someday if I find my parents killer I would show no mercy to his soul.

Bruce: You want revenge?

Oliver: No... I want to show him why it's mistake to have killed my parents. 

Bruce: I see but once your anger gets the best of you that one day and you want to kill someone... I'll be there to stop you.

Dick Grayson: *The two were interrupted by Dick Grayson who informed Bruce Wayne that he'll be going out tonight*

Bruce: Where will you be going and what time will you return Richard?

Dick Grayson: I'm going to a friends birthday party and I'll be returning at 11:00 PM

Bruce: Alfred will take you to the house and will pick you up too *it wasn't like Bruce to agree but than again it wasn't like him to agree on much*

*Dick Grayson wore the blue hoodie he used to wear when going out to beat criminals in the middle of the night, he wore sporty dark blue pants with sprinting shoes, Alfred was waiting outside the front yard inside a black Mercedes-Benz car. Beofre Dick walked outside the Wayne Manor he was stopped by Bruce Wayne*

Bruce: Don't do anything stupid...

Dick: *He didn't reply though he just nodded as an agreement and walked outside the Manor*

Oliver and Bruce went down to the second lair where it was located underneath the very first building of Queen Industries which was abandoned as Robert Queen had the new building constructed, Oliver and Bruce followed each other onto a silver elevator which led them down to his cave which he called 'The Quiver' the name had an explanation but Oliver hadn't explained it now. The Quiver included everything the first cave on the island included but this was one was just in a closer location, the computer screens were turned onto a page which included information on a man that bought a drug called Vertigo, the drug caused the man to go mindlessly crazy and after a few hours of his body rejecting the drug he was vomiting blood until he died.

Bruce: *He placed his hand on his forehead as a sign of frustration and tiredness, he released a long sigh after reading what the drug had caused to his body* Vertigo?

Oliver: Any suggestions on how we're going to find the supplier?

Bruce: Where did the supplier sell the drug?

Oliver: In the Starling City docks inside a building called Starling Port

Bruce: We're going to buy ourselves some Vertigo drugs

Dick Grayson entered his friends house where the birthday party was held, girls at the age of 18 and boys ages of 20 were at the party either getting drunk or having sex, Dick Grayson walked into the living room of the where he'd seen his friend chatting with a girl who had ginger straight long hair, her bright blue eyes as if sparkled from Dick saw, she looked somewhat older than Dick Grayson by maybe one or two years although when Dick's friend caught him he rushed towards him and walked him into the living room where the girl had paid attention to Dick Grayson, however he didn't notice the girl looking at him when his friend was speaking with him.

Someone on the entrance door knocked over the whole door with a loud thudding kick, everyone from the living room to the bedrooms heard the loud thud caused from the broken door, everyone from a slight surprise stopped what they were doing until a man wearing a black suit and tie walked in with a pistol gun raised in the air and as he shot onto the rooftop of the house everyone practically threw themselves onto the ground.

Everyone was looking up when they'd seen the one thirteen year old boy who didn't put himself down onto the ground, the man with the suit and tie chuckled at the boy who stood in the living room, Dick suddenly had the remembrance to when he watched his parents dying and just as he remembered such incident a powerful reign raged inside of him causing him to quickly run at the man before he could aim the gun at Dick and quickly Dick Grayson rebounded off the wall and in a 360 spin he kicked the main across his jaw which caused the man to fall however once he was falling he hit his head onto the brick wall, the mans eyes shut close once a little bit of blood itched its way out.

Dick Grayson looked down at the man, everyone from the party stood up and cheered for the young teenager though Dick didn't pay much attention to that as if everything around him went distorted around him, Dick Grayson looked down at him in depressing anger which wanted to release out of him yet he couldn't, the birthday boy shut off any sort of music in the house and just called the police from that moment however Dick was interrupted by the girl he'd first seen when he walked into the house.

Dick: *He turned himself around and looked at her... She's much more beautiful up close he thought, her eyes shining while staring at his eyes and her simple smile calmed him down* uh hi? *he didn't know what to say seeing this was his first time speaking to a girl*

The girl gently chuckled at his effort 'I'm Barbara Gordon' she said.

Dick: *Her voice... An angels voice perhaps, Dick didn't know what to think but he needed to say something soon* what a beautiful name *the boy said now raising a smile on his face* I'm Richard Dick Grayson but you can call me Dick

Barbara: *She took his compliment and thanked him* oh... No *the cops arrival was on the door yet the first person she saw was her father who had a powerful glare* I'm sorry... I have to go

Dick: No... it's okay *he said as he turned around watching her leave with her father... Her father was the one and only Commissioner Gordon*
