Before The Storm

Chapter 13

 “Wooo Hooo!” I shouted as I drove through the empty streets of Gotham.

I stopped and parked the take, before taking out my grappling gun. I shot it at the top of the building and rode up, until I found the floor that Mr. Fox was on. I opened a window and walked through it. To say Mr. Fox wasn't surprise to see me was the truth. He simply laughed sitting at his desk.

“I was wondering when you would show” He said.

“You've been expecting me?” I asked him and he nodded.

“For a while now. I see you found the Bat cave and activated the computer. I'm sure you know the real identity of Batman” He said and I nodded, “You're not going to tell anyone are you?”

“You don't have to worry Mr. Fox, I know how to keep a secret and I would never tell a soul” I told him and he smiled.

“That's good to hear, so what is it that you need, Batgirl?” He asked me.

“Weapons, but no guns” I told him, “I don't kill people, I just put them behind bars”

Mr. Fox chuckled and pressed something. He then stood and walked over to a wall.

“Well then step into my other office and we'll find something more suitable for you” He said as a opening appeared.

Mr. Fox stepped through the opening and I followed him. The doors closed and we were lowered to huge room with all kind of things. Camo-Tumblers, tables of weapons, something huge under a tarp.

“What's that?” I asked pointing to the hidden thing.

“That's not for you” He chuckled, “But this might be”

I looked away from the hidden thing to Mr. Fox. He pointed at a table holding a few different type of weapons. There was a baton very much like mine, a pistol, and some more bat blades. There was also a copy of my domino mask.

“Now, before you start about the no guns rule, let me just point out that it only shoots rubber bullets. It won't kill anyone. Just stun them” He said, “This baton is similar to the one you have, but it's also electrified”

Mr. Fox picked the baton up and pressed a small button on the handle. He then touched a metal table near by causing a little bit electricity to shoot from it.

“It's perfectly safe to use, even near water, because it will shut off immediately when it's touched. The Bat blades are the same as the ones you found in the cave. I'm sure you may need some more” He said and I nodded, “This mask is just like your own, but with an extra thing to it. When someone tries to un-mask you they will be shocked un-conscious”

“Well then I think we're done here” He said handing me the items.

We left the hidden room, and I climbed down the building using my grappling gun. I got in the Tumbler and drove back to the cave. I sat my old baton down and put the new on my utility belt. I then place the pistol on the other side of my belt and replaced the mask. When I was finished, I took a set of stairs that would take me to the east wing of the house, where John's room was.

My eyes went wide when he wasn't in there. I thought he came up here after he left the living room? I turned around and searched the whole manor, except the west wing, because Bruce would most likely try to attack me, and because no one is allowed in there.

When I did not find him, I left the manor and headed towards Gotham to see if I could find him. This time I took the Batcycle to try it out. I stopped the Batcycle when I thought I heard John shouting. I got off and walked down the alley it was in front of.
