The Batman

Chapter 8

Barbara's POV
Barbara was in a police car driving around the city with the swat team and every cop. "Does anyone see my father!?" Barbara asked in a walkie talkie. Nobody said yes, this started to worry Barbara. She didn't know where he would be...she didn't know what to do. The whole team had been looking for Jim for awhile but still no sign of him. Barbara was about to call the search for before she saw a black vehicle approach them. It was driving fast and looked pretty big. She saw the vehicle stop in front of the cars and told the cars to stop.

I was driving everywhere in Gotham trying to look for the police. Tatsu's voice came on in the tumbler, "we got the location..it's somewhere inside Elliot Industries." Luke came on as well after Tatsu, "you better get there fast though Matthew, it appears that there's a big ass nuclear bomb in there!" My face looked worried and I nodded, "alright thanks guys, I'll try my best." I saw a switch in the vehicle and wondered what it would do. I flipped the switch, which caused the tumbler to go faster. I started driving faster and looking for the swats and police. In the distance I saw multiple police cars and swat team trucks. I drove faster and turned in front of them then stopped for them to stop. I hopped out of it and stood in front of them. One by one, they all got out as well but looked at me weirdly.

Eliot industries
Anarky had multiple employees, including Tommy Elliot, tied up next to Gordon. Anarky was spraypainting his signature logo with an "A". He started to laugh and look at all of them, "so? Nobody is gonma step up and act as the hero?" Anarky asked. Nobody said anything. His eyes widen in surprise with a creepy smirk, "really?! wow honestly I thought at least one of you could have stepped up." Anarky showed his "Art" to the people and smiled, "it's amazing isn't it?!" A young man, looked as if he was in his mid 30's, spoke, "we're not scared or intimidated by you, freak!" Anarky turned around looking at him with a gigantic smile, "Finally! A hero! He untied the man and smiled, "step right up to and win your prize! What's the prize you ask? Freeing these innocent, meaningless and useless people." The man took a swing at Anarky and he dodged. He took more swings and never hit Anarky. "Gah!" Anarky yawned and stood near the glass window at the top of the building. "C'mon buddy, take your best shot!" Anarky said smiling creepily. The man grunted and ran at him before Anarky stepped out of tje way, letting the man fall out of the glass window causing him to land hard and die. Gordon and the people gasped and some started to sob a little, "awe poor poor guy..well that's his fault for not being able to hit." Anarky grabbed Gordon's face and looked at him closely, "can't do anything can't ya commish?" He took an army knife out and waved it in Jim's face, "well...I guess this is goodbye isn't it?" He was about to cut Gordon but wasn't able to..once the lights went out.

Barbara looked at me closely and shook her head, "who are you?" I said in a deep voice, "someone..like you." The cops and swats had their guns pointed at me closely. I pointed at Elliot industries, "Gordon's up there, along with a bomb." Luke spoke into my mask, "hurry! There's hostages there too!" I looked at Barbara, "and hostages as well! If you and your men can get up there and save Gordon and the hostages, I'll be able to stop Anarky." Barbara shook her head at me, "why should we trust you?" "You don't have to trust me..you don't have to believe me. But you DO have to help me..help your father and the people." She looked at her men and nodded, "okay...but only this once." She looked at her men again and signaled them to head inside. She turned around to ask me something but I had already left.

I used my grappling hook and went up the building. I could hear the cops and swats heading inside, plus the people. As I got in, I saw Anarky looking at Gordon and the people. I threw one of my batarangs at the lights to make it dark. I saw Anarky looking around crazily, "who's there?!" I crashed through the window and hid closley in the dark. Anarky started swinging his knife around, "huh? Well...where are you?!" I walked up behind him and whispered, "here." He turned around and swung at me but I had already moved somewhere else. The moon's light shined near a dark corner and I stepped in front of it. Anarky looked at me and grinned, "finally..someone who gets me. The theatricality..the heroic stature. Wow..and who might you be?" I looked at him seriously, "I'm Batman."

Barbara was leading the cops and swats inside to look for the hostages and Jim. As they ran inside, Anarky's men started to attack and shoot them. "Take cover!" Barbara said before one of the men threw a grenade, causing the ceiling to fall and block off Barbara and everyone from getting closer inside. Barbara tried to pick it up with everyone but it wouldn't budge, "ugh! c'mon!" She sighed and said, "the other way! head through the back entrance!"

Anarky laughed at me, "that's really cute man." I grunted at charged at him. Once i ran at him, I slid underneath his legs and tied a rope around his leg quickly. I tugged his leg, causing him to fall down. I kept him like that for awhile and ran to Gordon and the hostages. "Don't worry it's gonna be okay folks.." I said to them. As I started to untie Gordon he said, "w-who are you?" I shook my head at him, "im nobody commissioner...just someone who wants Gotham to be safe, like you do." I was about to untie the others before Anarky came up behind me and picked me up, throwing me at the wall. I hit hard against the wall and fell. I groaned and saw Anarky charging at me. He and I exchanged blows over and over, "Gordon! Get the people out of here! I got Anarky!" Gordon nodded and started to help the people out. I struggled to get Anarky off since he kept my pinned on the floor with his knee and a trigger in his hand. "Ah Batman..first day as a hero and you're already about to let down twelve million souls....now this is definitely going in the history books," Anarky said laughing hysterically at me. I grunted and sighed. He had his thumb over the trigger and smirked, "you can't stop this..and you know it Batman." I struggled to say anything, "I...I-I.." "You what?!" Anarky yelled. I pushed him off of me and pinned him against the glass showing a view of Gotham, "I can stop it.." He smirked, "I'm afraid you are right Batman..BUT you may have saved the day, but you haven't caught the villain." I looked at him confusingly and he threw the trigger in the air. I let go of him to catch it, and I did..but once I let go of him he jumped out of the glass. I heard him fall and say, "this isn't the last time you've seen ME BATMAN! HAHAHAH!" His laughs echoed throughout the city and night..and just like that, Anarky was gone.
