Crimson X

Chapter 26: Fin

                “If you honestly think you can stop me you’re out of your mind!” A man chuckled. “Maybe you should go the asylum. Arkham, isn’t it? Doesn’t my sister work there?” He paused, “I wonder why he wasn’t to work with those lunatics.”

                “It is not I that will stop you,” The man in red stated simply as he walked towards the one that was revived.

                “Oh? Then, who? Batman?” The man shrugged, “I already detained him, there’s no getting to him. And my sister is under the influenced of the fear toxin, there’s no way that she can get to him in that kind of state. Such a shame that a brilliant mind like hers will be lost in this madness… Sacrifices are needed.”

                “You underestimate her. You’re foolish.”

                “Oh,” Trance lifted up a sword as he ran his finger against the dull side, “I’m not the fool here. You are.”

                The man leapt towards Azrael and swung his sword at him. With such skill, Azrael grabbed the tip in the spaced between two fingers. His eyes slowly moved towards the sword without blinking. A slight growth of confidence was seen in his eyes.

                “You lack the years of training. You aren’t really the next head of the demon, are you?”

                “No,” A sword went through the Trance’s back. “He’s not. I am.”

                “Talia al Ghul, isn’t it?” Azrael narrowed his eyes as Talia through the now unconscious body to the side.

                “That is correct,” She wiped off the blood on her sword as she watched him. “We will stop you. Gotham must be destroyed. It’s grown rotten. Surely someone of your society would understand.”

                “Terrorism is not the answer to anything,” He spoke in a dark voice. “We are all created equal under the hand of God.”

                “Yes,” She rolled her eyes, “God. Tell me, what about the criminals?”

“Shar,” Batman turned to the girl dressed as Batgirl, “Stay here with Barbra and Gordon. Robin and I will go with Nygma to get the cure. Make sure nothing happens to them.”

                She nodded her head, “Right. Be careful, we’re all counting on you, Batman.”

                Batman looked at Robin and Nygma, “Let’s go.” He stalked out with Robin in suit.

                Edward paused for a second before looking at Shar. He walked over to her and smashed his lips onto hers. Shar’s eyes widened to an immense amount as she didn’t even realize that his hands were on her shoulders holding her firmly. However, as soon as it started, he pulled away and walked out without a word.
