Batman: Assassin

Chapter 1

It is nighttime in Mexico City. A group of 6 drug dealers is in their base counting their money. Suddenly there is gunshot outside. One of the drug dealers heads outside to see what is going on. He looks around and just shrugs his shoulders. He is about to head back inside when a rope suddenly drops down and wraps around his neck. The rope lifts him into the air, suffocating him. He struggles to get free from the rope.

"Qué diablos está pasando? (What the hell is going on?")

"No aguantes la respiración" (Don't hold your breath) a mysterious man says.

However, he breathes one last breath before dying. The man holding the rope removes the rope from his neck and throws him onto the roof of a car. The man is wearing a full black armored bodysuit with a black mask. The other drug dealers run outside to inspect.

"¡¿Que demonios le pasó?!" (What the hell happened to him?!) One of the drug dealers yells.

The drug dealers look at each other. Suddenly a bullet flies through one of the dealers' head. He falls to the ground dead.

"¡Lo veo! ¡él está por allá!" (I see him! He is over there!)

Another gunshot is fired and another drug dealer falls dead. The remaining drug dealers look around to see where the gunshots are coming from. Another drug dealer spots the man on a rooftop with a sniper rifle.

"¡Por ahí!" (Over there!) The drug dealer yells, pointing at a building.

However, when they look to where the man is pointing, no one is there. They look back at the drug dealer.

"'Uqsim 'anani ra'ayatuh!" (I swear that I saw him) The drug dealer says.

Suddenly a man appears out of nowhere and punches one of the drug dealers. He grabs him by his neck and snaps it easily. He pulls out a pistol and shoots another drug dealer in the head. He turns and faces the last drug dealer. He is shaking.

"¡No tengo miedo de ti!" (I am not afraid of you!)

The man takes off his mask and smirks.

"¡Usted debería ser!" (You should be) The man says.

"¿Tú eres un Americano?" (You are an American?)

"Sí."

The drug dealer pulls out a knife and runs toward the man. He starts swinging the knife like crazy at the man but he dodges his swings. The drug dealer tries one last time but the man grabs his arm and disarms him. Then he pins him to the ground with his hand.

"¡Ahora le haré una pregunta y si me miente, la lamentará con su vida!" (Now I am going to ask you a question and if you lie to me, you will regret it with your life.)

"¡No me mates por favor! ¡Tengo una esposa y un niño!" (Please don't kill me! I have a wife and child)

"¿Para quién trabajas?" (Who do you work for?)

The drug dealer hesitates.

"¡Él me va a matar!" (He will kill me!) The drug dealer shakes in fear.

"Colabora y veré que nunca te haga daño a ti ni a tu familia." (Cooperate and I will see that he never hurts you or your family)

"Vale, te lo diré." (Ok I will tell you)

The man releases him from his grip. He gets back on his feet.

"Su nombre es Carlos Ramírez. He is one of the most ruthless drug lords ever. Él ha matado a docenas de personas en México, por eso lo llaman "El Destructor". (His name is Carlos Ramirez. He is one of the most ruthless drug lords ever. He has killed dozens of people in Mexico, which is why they call him "The Destroyer.")

"¿Por qué no lo arresta la policía?" (Why don't the police arrest him?)

The guy laughs.

"¿La policía? ¡A la policía no le importa una mierda! Él probablemente les está pagando." (The police? The police don't give a s***! He is probably paying them off.)

"Gracias por tu ayuda." (Thanks for your help) The American says.

He starts walking away.

"¡Espere! ¿Qué estas haciendo ahora?" (Wait! What are you going to do now?)

"Planea mi proximo movimiento. Cuenta tú jefe que soy viniendo para él. (Plan my next move. Tell your boss that I am coming for him)

The man walks into the shadows contemplating what his next move should be.
