2. Gotham Cemetery

Hey guys! Welcome back to chapter two! Hope you have a good day! Enjoy the chapter!

————————————————————————————————————————————————

<<Nico POV>>

After I shadow traveled away, I found myself in front of a gate. At the top of the gate it said 'Gotham Cemetery'. I took in my surroundings, the gate was about two and a half meters of length. Around the cemetery, there was a fence. Probably low enough to climb over. There were two streets leading to the cemetery. Both were empty, there was no movement. Apart from the flickering lights. It seemed deserted. I then looked up at the fence. 

'Hmm...I'm pretty sure I can jump over that' I thought. 

After I jumped over, I landed on my feet with a THUD. It wasn't loud but it was loud enough to make me cringe. I sat down under a tree, it was still around 4:30. So I decided to sleep a bit. I let my head rest against the tree and I closed my eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up with my head on the ground.

'Strange, I thought I had sleep with my head agains the tree.' I thought. 

I looked up at the sky. It was purple, with a tinge of orange. That led me to believe that I had slept through the whole day. Huh. Still looking up, I guessed it was around 5:00 pm. I get up and quickly jump over the fence, I walk around the street and notice something incredible.

A MACDONALD PLACE!!!

After getting some food from Macdonalds i go back to the cemetery. Before I got there I felt a very strong feeling. Hatred. It wasn't mine though. I kept walking and found a ghost looking down at two men. She was scolding them. Of course, the two men didn't realize this, seeing as the ghost was a ghost. 

The there's a cape coming down from somewhere. My guess was from the tree. The man in the black cape stood behind the men that were digging up a grave. 

"Hey, what you guys doing?" He said in a very not normal tone of voice. It was a very deep voice, so this led me to believe that it wasn't the man's actual voice.

"Oh, move along!" Said one of the grave digging guys without even looking at who it was.

"Why don't you move along instead?"

"Who asked y-" he turned around and saw who it was and dropped the shovel, making the other guys do the same "-ou." 

"Fill up this grave and I will let you go," the man in the cape said, "or, we could take this up with the police. Hm? What do you say?"

"We'll fill it up." Said both men. 

I tried to look into their souls. There was some sort of aura around the man in the cape. The other two looked like normal people, their aura was normal. The man in the cape had an aura of death. 

'Huh, I should look into him' I think.

After the men finished filling up the grave, they ran away. I was now standing underneath the tree. The man in the cape turned toward me. Realizing that I was there.

"Who are you?" Said man in cape

"ποιος είσαι?" I said. The man looked at me in a weird way. 

"Sorry, I get mixed up in languages. I said who are you?" I said, almost hoping the he could melt into the shadows one more time. The man looked shocked, but then hid his shocked face really quickly, 

"You don't happen to be from out of town do you?" He asked. I just nodded.

"Huh. That still doesn't make sense why you wouldn't recognize me." The man said "I'm Batman. Where are your parents?"

"Out." I said simply.

"Hmm...where do you live?"

I shrugged.

"You don't have parents do you?" I tensed up, then nodded.

"You might want to go to the orphanage, I'll make sure someone comes to pick you up." Said Batman. 

I just nodded again.

Batman then walked away toward a building, and jumped up onto the roof. I stood there, watching. By now it was probably around 6:00 pm. I walked to the orphanage and told the lady there that I was an orphan, and that I had nowhere to go. The lady soon took me to a room where another four boys were. Before I went to bed I quickly summoned my sword from the shadows and looked at it. It was a nice feeling having my sword back in my hand. I made it go back into the shadows then laid down for a good night rest. Even though I had slept through the whole day, I was still pretty tired. When my head hit the pillow, I instantly fell asleep.
