Chapter 3

Ditching

Iceberg Lounge

Warren went home, "Powers can't be serious to think he could get away with something like this," Warren said reading the file Harry gave him.

"Dad! I got to go out!" Terry called to him in another room.

Terry walked up to him, Warren shut down the computer, "Your grounded remember?"

"I didn't start the fight though," Terry replied.

"You can't control your temper... and you better make it better, if you expect to get anywhere in life." Warren said.

"And I'll be a big success like you Dad." Terry said in sarcasm.

"Terry..." Warren said sadly.

"I'm bailing." Terry walked out the door. The one eyed man was outside in a car.

Terry got on his motorcycle and rode to the Iceberg Lounge. There, he met up with Dana, his girlfriend.

"Boo!" Terry said behind her.

"Terry! I thought your were in solitary." Dana said.

"I gave myself time off for good behavior." Terry replied.

"Jokerz," Dana's blonde hair friend said.

There were at least five of them, the purpled suited one, the one Terry encountered earlier grabbed Dana.

"I told you, you would regret messing with us." The Joker said.

Terry swung at the Joker's face and he fell of his motorcycle, "Terry, get out of here!" Dana cried. He got on his motorcycle and drove off. The five Jokerz followed him. He drove up a mountain. He ran into a dead end. There was a gate blocking him.

He saw an old man who was 85 standing in the shadows, "Your trespassing," He said to the Jokerz.

"Don't worry I could handle them." Terry said.

A Joker grabbed the old man by the shirt, "Who do you think you're talking to old man? We're the Jokerz."

"Sure you are," The old man smirked, he hit one of them with his cane.

Terry handled two and the old man handled the other two. The Jokerz ran away.

"Man! You're something I've never seen before." Terry said.

The man was wheezing and gasping for air. "My medicine, it's in the house." The old man said. When they opened the gate, a black dog barked at Terry, "Ace it's okay, down." The dog backed off.

They walked inside, Terry handed the old man his pills and the old man fell asleep.

Terry read the prescription on the pill bottle, "Bruce Wayne? This guy is Bruce Wayne?"

Terry explored, he walked up to the clock to see what time it was. He saw a bat on the face of the clock.

"A bat?" Terry said. He opened up the clock, there he saw a big cave. "Bruce Wayne is Batman!"

Bruce hit Terry on the head with his cane, "Get out of here kid!"

"Okay, I'm going." Terry walked out, "Freak."
