Multiverse Reborn: Batwoman

Chapter 11

That night, gotham's elite were pouring into the building that they were holding the ceremony while practically the rest of the city were outside in protest, telling them to leave the light on.

"Do you hear that Kate. The city is chanting to leave the light on. They want you." Luke said over Kate's comms.

"I know. It's weird. I never thought I'd be the one wearing this symbol considering how much time I wasted hating it." Kate said.

"I think Bruce would be really proud that you're the one who put the symbol on." Luke said.

"I still think he should be the one wearing it, but then again, if he actually cared about Gotham, he wouldn't have left. Remind me again to kick his ass if he ever comes back." Kate said.

"Will do. On one condition." Luke said.

"Really, what's that?" Kate asked.

"You let me watch when you do it. Batwoman beats the crap out of Batman, that would go viral." Luke said and Kate laughed.

"On that we agree. Now, are you set on your end?" Kate asked.

"Ready and waiting. I'm also tapped into the CCTV footage so that I can post your debut on Youtube so that no one can deny your return. Plus I think the reactions on all those elite people's faces will be hilarious." Luke said.

"Kay, I'm going in." Kate said as she turned on her voice modulator before going shooting a grappling hook to swing to the roof of the building with ease.

When the ceremony began, Catherine walked up to the podium and began speaking.

"Citizens of Gotham, I know that several of you are skeptical about tonight, but I want to assure you all that Batman really is gone. Whoever it was that was running around looking like him, it was just a fluke. He's gone and it's time to retire this old tradition. The bat is not coming back." Catherine said, right as the lights went out.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked from where he was running security.

"No idea sir." Sophie said from her perch.

However, before the panic could set in, one of the bat signals was directed towards the rafters of the building, right as the lights came back on to reveal Batwoman standing there.

"Hey Gotham. Miss me?" Batwoman asked as she jumped down into the venue, right in front of Catherine.

"You were saying." Batwoman asked as she heard Luke laugh over her comms.

"Okay, that was too good." Luke said.

"You're not Batman?" Catherine said.

"That's the point. Batman is gone, that much you got right. But he's not the only bat in town. And I'm here to pick up where he left off. The Bat is back. And her name is Batwoman." Batwoman said as she turned to see every elitist in the room pointed their phones at her.

However, before anyone could say anything else, the monitor was scrambled as a familiar face appeared on it.

"Hello Gotham and hello to you especially Batwoman. And here I thought my mission would be boring. But a bat does make things more complicated. And more fun. I'm Alice and I'm here to prove to you all that not even the Bat can save you. The Crows can't save you. None of them are the heroes of this story. I am. It's time for order to turn into chaos. It's time for Gotham to fall to me." Alice said on the monitor, right as they heard shots fired in the rafters.

"Luke, where's that gunfire coming from?" Batwoman asked.

"Okay first off, can you please not use my real name when you're with people?" Luke asked.

"Focus." Batwoman said annoyed.

"Right sorry, but I'd suggest getting to your girl Sophie right now since she is getting overrun by those rabbits." Luke said.

"I'm on it." Batwoman said as she fired a grappling hook up to where she knew Sophie was stationed.

Sophie was being overwhelmed by the amount of rabbits that were converging on her, when suddenly, a grappling hook shot out of nowhere and Batwoman appeared.

"Don't even think about it." Batwoman growled, since she was not going to allow her demented twin to take Sophie hostage.

However, not to her surprise, the rabbits began firing at her, only for the bullets to bounce off her suit.

"I see why Superman likes being bulletproof." Batwoman said with a grin as she pulled out her batarang.

"You made sure to recalibrate these things to my arm length right?" Batwoman asked over her comms.

"Yep." Luke assured her.

"Good." Batwoman said as she tossed the batarang and smiled as she saw it take out all the rabbits.

"Are you okay?" Batwoman asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You know I had that covered right?" Sophie asked.

"Sure you did. Agent Moore." Batwoman said as she fired another grappling hook and swung out of the venue, since most of the other rabbits had retreated after seeing her kick the ass of their coworkers.
