Renegade (Arkhamverse)

Chapter 8

"security systems activate, Code, 56327 run protocol 14." I yelled as I drove into the bunker on my Rencycle.

The Rencycle closely resembled a Light cycle from The Tron movies.
Mine was black and neon orange but could be changed to neon white if I wanted.

Having regained my memories I had remembered the code to activate the security protocols and also where I had parked my Rencycle.

I watched in satisfaction as the bunker went on lock down, I parked my Rencycle and got off of it.

I spotted my gun rack.  Specifically my 50 caliber Desert Eagle collection.

I spotted a suit chamber which surprised me as Slade hadn't said anything about making a new suit for himself.

The chamber slowly opened revealing a suit designed for me?  No, it was a watch...

There was a white board next to it. Slade had written  the word Nanotech with a question mark next to it.

I placed the watch onto my right wrist and then I pressed the button you would use on a watch to alter the time And watched in amazement as a nanotech suit crept onto my body at first glance the Suit seemed to be made of a artificially created metallic compound called Promethium, which is regenerative in nature, very durable, bulletproof, and light-weight. The same material Slade created his armor from.

The weapons seemed to be made of the same promethium material. Meaning if damaged they would regenerate like the suit would repair itself.

I pressed the watch button and the suit retracted back into the watch.
How Slade had gotten his hands on nano technology I don't want to know, my guess would be a Wayne tech facility.

I took off my old spandex suit and changed into an Orange T-shirt and black ripped jeans, black converse trainers hugged my feet tightly.

(Renegades new suit.)

(His old suit.)

I spotted a new sword that Slade had made for me. I activated the nanotech and placed the promethium sword in its back holster there was also a ballistic bo staff that resembled Slades I holstered that also.

I fully stocked the suits orange utility belt with all the usual gadgets. Making sure to grab three times as many shuriken.

I destroyed Batman's grappling hook incase of any trackers and replaced it with one of my own given to me by Slade.

I yawned, deciding to hit the hay I deactivated the nano suit and crashed into my bed. I was so tired i didn't even bother to change into my Pj's.

I found myself back in blackgate with Slade.  He was doing push ups.

"Sup, dad." I greeted grinning.

"Son." he smiled as he got up off the floor to hug me.

"Nice watch." he whispered into my ear.

"it was a gift from a family member."
I whispered back into his.

"hmmm, nice guy."

"Oh shut it, you know it was you."

"I'm just disappointed you aren't in your penguin Pj's."

"Leave those out of this!"

"Nope!"

We sat on his bed this time. I we surprised when I didn't start to vomit this time.

"You only vomited because you were feeling hundreds and thousands of memories awaken at once." I listened to Slade say.

"How long will you be in here for?"
I asked him looking into his one good eye.

He smiled. A smile that reached his eye. "Not long, a few more hours at most."

"But how?"

"I know powerful people, son or rather they know me. Within the next 5 hours I bet that bitch Amanda waller will be standing at those bars, clipboard in hand demanding I sign it."

I had heard the name Amanda waller before, what villian or mercenary hadn't. She was notorious for being a demanding bitch.

I heard everything muffle, but with how tired I was I shouldn't be waking up for a few more hours.

Something was wrong.

My eyes shot open and I grabbed the knife I kept under my pillow.

A hand shot out towards me but I reacted faster grabbing hold of the persons wrist holding it behind their back and pressing my blade to their throat.

It was a woman, definitely a highly trained mercenary and definitely dangerous.

"Who are you!" she hissed in pain.

"nobody has ever detected me before I strike at them...ever!"

"You aren't the one who is in a position to ask questions! Talk! Who are you!"

"My name is Vivian, Vivian Talod."

I let go, shell shocked.

My Mother.

"I'm blind, I'm looking for my son, I haven't seen him in several years. But now I'm afraid I can't see anything at all."

I had to fight back the tears

"Have you found him yet? What's his name?" I asked her changing my  voice to make it deeper than it actually is, so that way I sounded older.

"No, no, I have not found him. His name is Roy, Roy Talod."

"I'm Sorry you can't find your son, ma'am, but my name is Robert Lee."

It hurt me to lie to her, but I had to play it safe, she could still be with the court of owls. I grabbed her hands.

"Let me show you the way out."  gently I pulled her towards the exit.
Listening to her stories, all about Roy, all about me.

By the time I had got her to the door I was crying. She looked and sounded so miserable. I genuinely wished I hadn't ran away.

No, I can't think like that. If I'd have stayed id have been turned into a killing machine.

but that's what Slade turned me into anyways...

I escorted her safely away from the bunker and back into the city. Upon returning I instantly rushed to my bedroom. How did a blind person get in here, get past the security! I told Slade it was outdated! 

Turns out, Slades 'security' was still unfinished. The area she had managed to get into had none whatsoever. In fact she probably just walked through the bunkers back door.

I'll  have to deal with that tomorrow.

I sauntered off to bed, hoping I'd get
To see Slade again so I could give him my opinion on his 'security' systems.
