Batman: Assassin

Chapter 6

The private jet takes Bruce and Slade back to Gotham. Bruce changes into nicer clothes and removes all of the blood from his body.

"Thank you for everything, Slade," Bruce says.

"I think you are ready to face the criminal underworld of Gotham. What are you going to do when you get back?"

"I cannot kill the entire underworld as Bruce Wayne. I have to become something that they fear."

"Like what?"

"They are cowards and willing to believe in superstition."

The plane finally lands in Gotham.

"So what are you going to do Slade?"Bruce asks as they are stepping out of the plane.

"I am going to do what I am good at."

Slade walks away. Bruce goes into the airport and picks up a rental car and drives to Wayne Manor.

"I don't know why I would ever come back to this place but I need a base of operations. I won't just operate in Gotham. I will reach the world. Soon criminals will fear me. I will become an assassin and vigilante. But what should I use to cast fear into the hearts of criminals."

Suddenly a bat flies in through a window. Bruce has an idea. He heads into a cavern beneath Wayne Manor. He finds it full of bats.

"This is my destiny. I shall become a bat."

Bruce goes back into Wayne Manor. He reaches into his bag and finds the suit that Slade gave him.

"I am going to make some modifications."

Bruce takes the suit into his work station.

"I have to stop by Wayne Tech."

Bruce heads to the Wayne Tech building in a sports car. He is greeted by an onlooker.

"Nice car dude."

Bruce ignores him and keeps driving.

When he arrives at Wayne Tech, he is greeted by a black man in a suit.

"Mr. Wayne. So glad to see you back. I haven't seen you since I helped you get out of the foster home."

"I just need to get some things from your storage room, Lucius."

"Like what?"

"Grappling gun. Any type of weapons that you have manufactured."

Lucius takes Bruce down to the storage room.

"So what do you plan to do with these?"

"You'll see."

Lucius takes him to a storage container and reveals.

"Nylon fabric I assume?"

"Yep. Strongest fabric in the world."

"I might need to borrow some."

"Take as much as you want. It's practically yours anyways."

"What are these?" Bruce asks holding metal pieces.

"Those are made of promethium the strongest metal in the world. We were going to use those to modify solider helmets but it never got past the development stage."

Bruce takes several other devices such as a computer software, smoke pellets, and an EMP.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Wayne."

"Sure."

Bruce gets into a car and drives back to his home. However he spots a gun shop on his way back. He parks the car and heads into the gun store.

"Hello sir welcome to- Wait I have seen you before. You're Bruce Wayne!"

"Yes and I am here to buy some weapons," Bruce says, looking around at the guns.

"What do you have in mind?"

Bruce spots 2 Heckler & Koch MP5SD5s.

"I will take those and those dual pistols."

The store owner hands the guns to Bruce. He puts them into a bag.

"Anything else?"

"Assault rifles?"

"We have some AK-47s, AK-12s imported from Russia, and Beretta REC7."

"I'll take it."

"Which one?" The store owner asks.

"All of them."

"What else can I do?"

"Sniper rifles?"

"Ah the Barrett M82, the M110 Semi-Automatic, and the Heckler and Koch HK417."

"Thank you."

Bruce spots a box of grenades. He also spots a grenade launcher.

"I will take the MK 47 Striker as well as the grenades."

"You're interested in that?"

"Very."

Bruce stashes all of the weapons into his bag. He writes a check and gives it to the man. Bruce is about to walk out the door when he accidentally bumps into a man.

"You better watch where yourself or I will kick your ass!"

"Whatever."

Bruce reaches the door but he hears a gun click. He turns around and sees the guy pointing a gun at the store owner.

"You better give me the money you owe or I will blow your f****ing head off!"

Bruce sneaks into the restroom and changes into his armor.

The gunman keeps hitting the store owner in the head with the gun.

"I am going to count to 5 and if you don't give me the money by 5 you are dead!"

"1, 2,3,4-"

Suddenly Bruce in his armor grabs the gun out of his hand.

"What the hell?!"

"5!" Bruce says.

He grabs the guy and throws him through a window. The guy recovers and tries to punch him but Bruce pulls out a knife and stabs him in the throat. He leaves him to die. He heads inside and gives the store a check for breaking the window.

"Sorry about the mess."

Bruce grabs his bag and heads home.
