The Batman

Chapter 6

Outside of Wayne Manor
"Matthew?!" Tatsu yelled while looking around. It was already dark and she's been looking for me for awhile now. Tatsu sighed and looked around "okay I get it Matthew..you're better at doing stuff in the dark" she rolled her eyes. As minutes passes by she started to get worried, "this isn't funny Matthew! Seriously..where are you?!" I came out of the dark night and jumped on her pinning her down,"man you really need to mind your surroundings Tatsu." I smirked at her and she rolled her eyes. We looked at each other for awhile and laughed afterwards. "wow..well we have more to learn Matty so I suggest we stop laughing and get to work," Tatsu said looking at me with a smile. I nodded and her and I got up. We spent the rest of the day training and practicing moves over and over until I got it right.

Unknown area
Jim groaned as he woke up looking around the area. He didn't know where he was. "Hello?! Can anyone hear me?!" Gordon yelled. By the looks of it, nobody was here..until he saw the man who attacked him earlier at the warehouse. Anarky walked up to him and grinned,"well morning jimmy buddy, how'd ya sleep?" Jim grunted at him and tried reaching before he noticed that he was tied up on a chair. "Let me go now.." Gordon told Anarky angrily. Anarky clicked his tounge and shook his finger side to side, "nah ah ah commish...i don't believe I'll be doing that anytime soon." Anarky looked at Gordon with his big white eyes. "This city...needs to know that they're only hero, you of course, has been missing and is captured." "So..once they know you're gone, they'll panic and realize something is wrong..that's where yours truly comes in..I will show Gotham that fear..is something they should feel and ALWAYS have," Anarky smirked at him. He started to chuckle evily and creepily. "Y-You're..a monster.." Jim said quietly. Anarky shook his head angrily and looked at Gordon then slapped him, "no no Gordon..I'm merely..an artist! HAHAHAHA!" Anarky laughed and laughed over and over. Jim groaned and sighed looking down saying something under his breath, "God I need a hero..."

Gotham University
It was 5 am in the morning and I was extra early at class. I went inside and set my things down on the bench. I didn't see anyone around so..I started to practice on a punching bag I saw in the corner. I hung it up and started to punch and kick it. I kept getting flashbacks from my parent's death..i started to punch faster. Harder. I kept going over and over and suddenly punched a hole in it. I continued to punch it anyways and knocked it to the other side of the room. By the time I was finished, I had already broken 26 punching bags. "Looks like someone's been practicing lately," I heard behind me. I turned around and saw my teacher, Ducard. I shrugged "I've been..learning a lot so I wanted to try out out what I've learned," i say while getting my belongings. Ducard smiled at me, "you sure do remind me a lot about your father Matthew." I looked at him confusingly, "you knew my dad? how?" I asked him. Ducard sat on the bench and looked at me closely,"your father and I were close..we took this exact class together, that was until he decided to become something more in life...like you." "He had the same momentum and belief like you Matthew...you ARE your father," Ducard said as he smiled. Wow..I didn't know that Ducard knew my father..I had so many questions but I wasn't able to ask them since he turned around to look at the tv. I looked at it as well and my jaw dropped. A young man dressed in a black suit came on the tv and delivered the news, "hello Gotham city..this just in that our most amazing and brave hero, commissioner Gordon..is missing. He was recently at the old warehouse near Wayne enterprises but was never seen afterwards. There are no traces about where he might've been taken or gone to. We just hope and pray..that someone..please someone..save our beloved hero. Back to you Samantha." The camera switches to an older woman who was outside. "Wow..i wonder what happened to Jim, right Matthew?" Ducard asked. He turned around and I already left the school. I was running towards the same area where I fell in that hole. As I ran I saw it right away..up ahead. I saw the hole..as soon as I saw that hole I got flashbacks..back when I fell in..the night my parents died. I didn't have a rope or ladder or anything to do down there..so I jumped. When I jumped I saw bats everywhere as I fell. Once i fell down the bats had left suddenly. There was a moment of silence for about a few minutes. Until the bats had come back again and had brought MORE bats. I was scared and started to yell in fear. It was like this for about a few minutes before..I noticed that I wasn't yelling anymore. In fact..I was perfectly calm and still looking at all the bats. I smirked and smiled looking at them, but remembered about the Jim Gordon situation. I took my phone out and called Tatsu to come over to my location. After I called her I called luke,"uh hey..can you come over to this location im about to send? Please..it's an emergency." He agreed and I took in a deep breath. I know that whatever I'm about to do..is going to be dangerous. But..i knew my father..would've wanted me to do this.
