(Saga 4) Chapter 18: Where's Batman?

Scene starts after Y/N screaming. He was in the ground due to him have to pass out during all that fiasco. He hears a few knocks and hears a voice.


Woman voice: Sir are you all right?! Sir?!


Y/N: Huh? Y-Yeah I'm all right.


Woman voice: Do you want help?


Y/N: No no, I'm ok.


Y/N starts to get up as he looks at himself at the mirror, but something was kind of off, the red eyes, the veins they disappeared, he looked normal although, he might gotten a small amount of weird steroids, he looked a bit bulkier.


Y/N: Did I just bulk up or am I drugged?


He looked at himself as he opens to walk out of the bathroom still panting.


Y/N: What's happening to me?


Present
Thailand


The scene shows a ufc match, as Y/N was seated getting checked by his coach, he was also showing a new tattoo in his right shoulder.



Coach: *Siamese* Remember, focus on him, go for the ribs, that's his weakest and showoff with an uppercut... got it?


Y/N: *Siamese* Yep!


Y/N and his coach fist bump as Y/N gets up ready for the fight. Scene changes to Y/N blocking a left hook from his opponent and as he tackles Y/N but Y/N pushes him back and slams him to a wall.


Coach: *Siamese* Forget the uppercut, slam him like a champ!


A lot of people were heard cheering, as the scene shows Dick and Cassandra were moving by the crowd as they reached the cage and saw Y/N tackling his opponent.


Dick: Is it just me or he bulked up?


Cassandra: He did... bulk.


His opponent went to knee him but Y/N blocked and managed to lift him just to slam him straight in the ground knocking him down completely. The referee went to check on him as the cheers got louder, as Y/N spits his mouth guard to the ground and cracking his neck and lifting his hand in form of a punch as he smiled. Scene changes to Y/N in his locker room getting changed, until he slowly grabs something from the locker which was a knife and throws it back, as the scene moves to Dick and Cassandra at the entrance with the knife in the wall.


Dick: That was very close.


Y/N who was panting, frowns and closes his locker.


Y/N: What are you two doing here?


Dick: Good way to greet us, we haven't heard from you for a while.


Y/N: I was with Richard but I started my MMA career and look where I am now, 28-4.


Dick: Expected a 0.


Y/N: Can't show off every time, can't show everyone my true nature.


Y/N starts to walk away as Dick and Cassandra follow him.


Dick: Ok why haven't you returned?


Y/N: I can't.


Dick: Why? MMA career?


Y/N: No... a better reason.


Dick: Which is?


Y/N: *looking back at him* I changed, not in personality but in physicality.


Dick: What do you mean?


Y/N: Follow me.


Dick and Cassandra look at each other and follow Y/N. They go to a roof with a stone chimney, as they look at Y/N.


Dick: So what are you gonna show us?


Y/N looks back and Y/N straight up kicks the stone chimney off. Dick and Cassandra eyes widen as Y/N sighs.


Y/N: When I was on my trip to Hong Kong, something happened to me, I was stronger, faster, and somehow I could heal faster. The rib Alfred tended should've healed in weeks, it only took me 14 hours to heal completely.


Dick: How did that... Bruce's ACTH, it was untested.


Y/N nods looking away.


Y/N: I needed to test myself and make sure I don't kill anyone accidentally. You saw my progress.


Dick: The MMA match.


Y/N: Mjm.


Cassandra: You... ok?


Y/N: No... I mean I should feel happy that I'm stronger but I'm not, I feel like some kind of monster since I'm a superhuman, now.


Cassandra: Your body... is... but not... you. You control your body... not... the other way.


Y/N looks at Cassandra with a frown but later that frown turns to a small smile.


Y/N: I missed you, Cass.


Cassandra: Me too.


Dick: So are you back in?


Y/N: For now... I have to attend college as well.


Dick: Forgot about that... didn't thought you would be interested to go there.


Y/N: Me neither. Though one question, where's Bruce.


Cassandra and Dick look at each other and later at Y/N who frowns.


Y/N: Where's Bruce?


Timeskip


Y/N, Dick and Cassandra were walking towards the Batcave as Y/N was in front.


Y/N: What do you mean he's missing?


Dick: He went to a mission 2 weeks ago, we don't know what happened or anything, he just disappeared.


Y/N: And you recruited me so I become Batman?


Cassandra: Well...


Y/N: My ass will become Batman, in no way in hell *pointing at himself* this guy will become Batman. If we want a Batman, I'm seeing it right in front.


Dick: You know my answer is no, only because I manage to be here almost everyday doesn't mean me and Bruce are in good terms like literal good terms.


Y/N: God sake's Dick, Gotham needs Batman and only because I'm more skilled and better doesn't mean I can be Batman. Not me, not Cassandra not even the brat can be Batman, if anyone is more up for the mantle, is you Dick.


Dick looks away looking at a Batman costume, as Cassandra walks and puts a hand in Dick's shoulder.


Cassandra: He's right... Gotham defenseless... without Batman... you more than worthy... to take the name.


Dick looks at Cassandra and later at Y/N who had a frown made Dick sigh as he looks at the suit and fights back. Scene changes to Y/N looking at the Knightcrawler costume, since it has been a while since he has put it on. Cassandra walks and puts her chin in his shoulder.


Cassandra: Don't want... to go out?


Y/N: Well... it has been 4 months, at least not a few years since I've put it, do you think it will be a bit tight for me?


Cassandra: *giggling* No.


Y/N smiles and leans with his back by the suit locker looking at Cassandra.


Y/N: So how have things been in here


Cassandra: Better... than with... him.


Y/N: Far better? *Cassandra nods as Y/N chuckles* Not surprised.


Cassandra: Michael, Jose, Janet and Adrianna... worried.


Y/N: You talked to them?


Cassandra: Mjm... told them... you going to Hong Kong.


Y/N: Aaaaaaand?


Cassandra: They... take well... Michael... not much.


Y/N: Not surprised. So have you actually felt comfortable working with Bruce?


Cassandra nods as she leans by the rail handle as Y/N looks later at the Orphan suit, seeing a bit of upgrades including full gloves and a mask.


Y/N: You have a mask?


Cassandra nods.


Y/N: Looks a bit like-


Cassandra: Yours.



Y/N: Well... apart the stitched up part and well the colors but it does remind me of my own mask. What gave you the idea to do it?


Cassandra: You... helping me... you helped me... be me... and... I'm grateful.


Y/N: Well I was just helping a girl in need. But if there's something missing is a codename, have one?


Cassandra denies as Y/N smiled.


Y/N: You waited for me to help you... what a nice lady. Ok then how about Batgirl?


Cassandra looks up but makes a no gesture?


Y/N: Yeeeah doesn't fit... how about Black Bat? Nope doesn't fit either... how about... *he looks at the costume for a few seconds and have flashbacks of David's as Y/N sighs and regrets his next words* I may have a name but I don't know if you'll love it.


Cassandra raises her eyebrow looking at Y/N.


Y/N: Orphan.


Cassandra looks with a stare that was penetrating Y/N's skull as he regrets.


Y/N: I said it, I don't know if you like it but not many people or maybe nobody knows about anyone called Orphan but the costume it looks like your father's this is a way to make the Orphan name look good and not evil and well-


Cassandra: Orphan... does... fit.


Y/N: Wait you like it? *Cassandra nods as Y/N sighs* Good, don't want making names out of thin air. You know I know a guy who is like in his mid 20's, loves putting names like if it was monday morning... is a hobby. Puerto Rican, loves his engineering work, he makes the best empanadillas that at least I've tasted, and he loves to play the guitar.


Dick: *wearing the batman costume* So are you two done flirting or are we going?


Y/N: Flirting? Are you kidding me?


Cassandra: What's... flirting?


Y/N: Another time, Cass. *looks right at his costume* Right now, is time to get to work.


Cassandra smiled at Y/N as she looked at the Orphan.


This was a shitty chapter being honest, definitely the worst chapter pilot I've done and I'll be trying to make this saga interesting.
