Chapter 1: Last Breath

"Who... are you." The dying man squeezed out while blood ran out of his mouth. "Your... death" the the dying man's killer said as he got a large and bloody knife through the spine. "He... help me." The man coughed as his lungs was filled with his blood and the last oxygen escaped his tall and strong body. The mysterious red hooded person was just about to leave the crime scene when two police officers were closing in from the dark. "Hands in the air, drop everything you got"! The first officer screamed through the snowy and windy weather. "No..." the red dressed person responded with a laugh to both officers. The two officers now fired two shots each but ultimately missed wild. Before being able to fire more, one of the officers got hit by a large knife, the already bloody and used knife went straight through the first police throat. The poor man died before he hit the cold and snowy ground. This made the other officer focus on his now dead college and friend, which made her an easy target for the *Red Hood*. The second officer got hit by one of Red Hoods knifes but it wasn't a instant kill. The blade hit slightly under the heart, this made the officer fall to the ground. Her lung was punctured and she was loosing to much blood. If no one would stop the bleeding within seven minutes she would bleed to death. "That was a little easy, wasn't it?" The Red Hood said with a dark voice through the pointy latex hood with two small black holes for the eyes. "Take care." Red Hood said sarcastically as the dying police officer saw Red Hood grapple away and leaving her to die...

"Cheers." Bruce said with a smile as he raised his glass with wine towards Selina's glass full with lemonade. "Do we have any plans for tomorrow honey?" Miss Kyle responded as she took a bite of oven cooked potatoes and carrots. "Hopefully not." Bruce responded as he took a sip of the red wine. "Bruce, we need a name for the baby. It's only six months left." Selina said as she looked her beloved one straight into the eyes. "Sweetie, there six MONTHS not six days." He answered with a smile. "Come on, we need to start talking to her. And when we do, she needs a name." Selina answered while they were walking towards the home theater. "Fine, do you have any suggestions?" Mr Wayne asked as he started holding Selina's hand. "Well, my mother's name was Helena and I kinda like that name." She said as they entered the large and dark room. "Helena... Helena Wayne. Well it could work." Bruce responded as they sat down next to each other in the large red armchairs. "Which movie?" He later continued as he turned on the projector. "Ooh... the *Fishhead in Dubai" Selina answered enthusiastically. "Again? We saw it last Saturday." Bruce stated. "I love that film, almost as much as I love you" She responded with a smile that changed into a quick kiss.
Right when the movie started a phone blinked. It was Bruce's phone that showed a text from Dick Grayson saying. "Two cops and another man has been killed at the docks. Shall I check it out?" Bruce quickly answers the text with "please do, and bring Tiffany. Go after the killer if you can. We don't want the people in Gotham to be afraid during the holidays." as he turned of the phones sound. "Bruce." Selina said looking at her love. "Yes honey." He quickly responded. "I love you. I don't know we're I would be now if I hadn't met you and I want to spend every minute of my life with you. Therefor I wonder if you would like to ask me if I will marry you?" She said holding Bruce's hand and looking at him with her big brown eyes. "Selina. Would you like to make me the happiest vigilante alive by marrying me?" Bruce asked as he brought up a box with a large and shining diamond ring inside. "Yes!" Selina answered happily as she grabbed Bruce's both hands and put them on her waist and gave him a long and loving kiss. "I've been waking around with that box for a week now. Just waiting for the right moment." Bruce said as he paused the kiss for a moment to look at his beautiful fiancé. "We don't need to watch this movie tonight. I have another plan..." Selina said as she bite her underlip and moved Bruce's hands inside a slight more... private area. "I prefer this plan."Bruce responded as he took of Selina's shirt and slowly walked towards their bedroom...

"... three dead, two officers and a reporter. Murder weapon on all three is a knife." Detective Bullock told Nightwing as well as Eagle. "Any eyewitnesses?" Nighwing asked an officer as he examined the dead reporter. "None. If two officers weren't killed here we would have dropped the case already." The old mans said while taking a slurp of his coffee. "What did you say?"! Nightwing yelled to the officers face. "That this case isn't worth our time. It's impossible to solve but of course two cops had to be killed. So now I have to fix this shit!" The officer muttered. "You don't deserve that badge!" Nightwing answered as he grabbed the officer and raised him up. "Nightwing, what the hell are you doing?" Eagel said angrily as she came running towards them. "I'm giving this pig what he deserves!" Nightwing responded as he threw the officer with all force he had straight into a police car. "Hey! What are you doing?" Bullock yelled as he saw what Nightwing did to one of his officers. "This so called officer is a shame to everyone in Gotham. And I will make sure he gets fired, if it's so the last thing I do." He answered with an irritated face
"What the hell are you doing?" Eagle said as she dragged Nightwing aside. "He deserved it." He answered. "Drop it, tell me what going on?" Eagle said with a serious look. "Ahhh... it's personal. I'll tell you later I promise." Nightwing responded with a  sigh. "You better do. Now help me get everything we can use for analysis to the cave. It's getting awkward here because someone threw a man." Eagle said looking at Nightwing.

"Morning honey." Selina said as she carefully stroke her hand over Bruce's chest and then started kissing it. "It's only 7 in the morning. We've been sleeping for three hours." Bruce responded with a gasp. "I know, but I got a message that Tiffany and Dick is on their way to the cave. And I'm pretty sure you don't want them to walk in here while we're sleeping... naked, in an oily bed and smelling like we just did it. " She responded while walking to the drawer. "Well they wouldn't be the first tho."  Bruce responded while thinking back to the time Harvey walked in on them at Selina's. "Should we tell Tiff and Dick about yesterday?" Selina asked happily as she looked at the ring and put on a beautiful smelling perfume and her matched green underwear. 'We should wait until Sunday. Alfred comes back from his vacation then. So we can have a small celebration." Bruce responded as he took away the plum colored silk duvet and raised up from his bed. "Bruce, I had a really sweet dream tonight. We got a dog, if I remember correctly we named him Ace and he helped us stop the criminals. And it got me thinking. I think I want a dog." Miss Kyle said with a smile as she looked at her future husband. "Selina, you hate dogs." Bruce responded as he put his hands on her shoulders and gave her a morning kiss. "I know... but you can't hate Ace. He was adorable and besides I'm sentimental now that I'm pregnant and now I love puppies." She responded as she gave him a kiss back. "I know that, and I would lie if I said I didn't like." Wayne said as he went to his closet to put on a pair of black pants and a wine red shirt.
"Tiff and Dick is here in five. You ready to go?" Selina said as Bruce pulled up the zipper on the backside of her navy colored dress. "Yeah sure, I just need to pick up some breakfast on the way." Bruce responded as they left their large and warm bedroom to meet Tiffany and Dick in the cold batcave...

"... we'll run these samples through the register and see the results. Then we go after him?" Dick asked as he took a slurp of the tea Bruce just had brought. "Yes, this shouldn't be to hard. Seems like a regular killer to me." Selina responded as she looked through the newsfeed on the Batcomputer. "I don't know... This guy brutally killed a man and then easily killed two cops by throwing knifes. He seems pretty skilled to me." Tiffany said. "I agree. We should..." Bruce said but got interrupted by the Batcomputer's alarm. The alarm indicated that the Batsignal was activated on top of the GCPD rooftop. The second Bruce was about to say something another signal came, this time from his phone. The message said that there's an active attack at the Gotham clinic. "How should we proceed. We must go to the clinic but also meet Gordon at the same time?" Tiffany asked Bruce with a worrying face. "I go to the clinic. Tiffany, you and Dick go meet Gordon and see what he wants. Selina. Stay here and make sure we all don't die." Bruce said as he gave Selina a quick kiss then rushed to his newest Batsuit with dimmed purple glowing stripes on it. And with a new stealth mechanic that lets him be invisible to radars. Dick and Tiffany already had their suits on so they could quickly go to their new motorcycle with a levitating mechanic.
"Be safe!" Selina said as Batman entered the Batmobile and drove away with full speed towards the clinic.

"Where's Batman?" Jim said worrying and slightly annoyed as he looked out over the sunrise. "At the clinic. But what's the situation that made you light the sign." Eagle said as she put her drone on her back. "Remember that killer this morning? Well we believe he just hit again. This time he killed a professor. In his home, there's a pretty disturbing message there to." Gordon said as he showed a picture from the crime scene. "Your next // H.S" Eagle quoted the message. "The pen was a knife and the paper was the professor body" Nightwing said with a grim face. "Who the hell is H.S and who's his next victim?" Eagle asked wondering as she examined the picture more closely. "Do a professor and a reporter have anything in common?" Nightwing asked, mostly to himself. "Well. We are doing a background check on both the reporter and the doctor at the moment but it will take a while." Jim said as he went back inside the station. "Now you'll tell me what happened earlier today?" Eagle demande. "You can't simply throw a police officer for no reason and then demand to get him fired" Eagle continued. "Ahhh... fine! When I was a child my parents worked at a circus. One day at the circus they would do what they did everyday. Jump in the air, between rings and all of that. They did that everyday. But one day they failed. That happened sometimes but this time someone had cut their safety ropes off. Making them fall to their death with everyone including me watching. The first police officer to arrive at the scene saw his chance and told everyone that it was an accident. That the ropes was to old. However, the clown of the circus didn't believe him and said it had to be cut. The police then gave the clown a bribe not to tell anyone. That day. I swore to become a cop myself to make sure nothing like this EVER happens again. And whenever I see it. I will make sure they pay for even thinking about dropping a case because of laziness. That's why I threw that swine to cop earlier. He told me straight out that if it wouldn't been dead cops he would have dropped the case. That reporter had kids and they deserves to se their fathers killer behind bars. Something I never got to see" Nighwing said with a heavy sigh. "I didn't know, I'm sorry. But why didn't you told me?" Eagle asked as she put her hands around his thighs. "I don't want anyone to know about my parents death. It's a weakness, whenever someone talks bad about them or do anything that reminds me of that day I get angry and emotional. And then I can do things I regret afterwards." Nightwing answered. "Then let's make sure we catch that killer." Eagle responded with a smile as she gave Nightwing a long and warm hug...

"Selina I'm at the clinic but I don't see anyone...." Batman said as he walked through the dark corridors of the clinic. "The scanner don't show anything... no wait, two floors up. Three people." Selina answered while continuing to look at the screen of the Batcomputer. "On my way." Bruce responded as he ran up through the olive green stairs and entering floor four, "okey, I'm here but I don't see anyone." Batman said through the comlink to Selina, "Bruce! Behind you." Selina said but before Batman could react he got hit in the head by a large bat and quickly fell to the cold and brown ground...
