Batman was once the strongest man in the universe! He even defeated the Twelve Grand Masters of the Universe, however, one day he wakes up as some lowly hamburger? What the fuck?

 There were not just photos, but also a video. Some people posted the video on the entertainment section, so the curious fans clicked on it.
 What the f*ck! That's a bazaar! Are you kidding me? F*ck! That's Qin Guan!
 "Director! Come check out the audience ratings!"
 The director frowned at his assistant, who was in his office at the Beijing TV Station.
 "Calm down! What happened?"
 "Director, the audience ratings have increased by 9%!"
 "What? Am I dreaming? We're on the same level with the most popular programs around the nation!"
 "The clicking rate has also reached 80 million! It's still rising as we speak!" The director fell back against his chair. He felt like he was having a heart attack.
 Shall I send someone to Xiaotangshan to wait for Qin Guan?
 He was too late. As soon as the news had leaked, Qin Guan's phones had started ringing one after another. Sister Xue was grinding her teeth. You went and exposed yourself!
 On the other side of the ocean, Qu let out a long sigh of relief. The guy from Warner Bros. had been visiting her office for about one month and crying his eyes out just in an effort to confirm Qin Guan's schedule. This was Qin Guan's fault. He had accepted the script and then disappeared, leaving Qu to clean up the mess for him. 
 The representative of Warner Bros was scared to see Qu welcome him with a smile that day.
 "Congratulations, William. If you want to see Qin Guan, here is your chance. He showed up again in Beijing."
 Qu turned the screen of her computer towards him.
 "I think his studio will issue an official explanation for that video."
 "Really? Thank you so much, Ms. Qu. I must have misunderstood before. You are not the monster everyone thinks you are!"
 Great! Now, f*ck off!
 William left her office screaming, scratching and scrambling. Then, he headed straight to China. Qu was right. The next day, Qin Guan's website was updated with a series of dazzling news.
 Qin Guan had taken his wedding photos at the Palace Museum! They were so beautiful! The traditional Chinese costumes of the couple looked brilliant!
 Was Cong Nianwei pregnant? Qin Guan was going to be a father. The couple would soon be welcoming a baby. Would it look like its father or its mother?
 The excited fans sent the couple their best wishes.
 "Congratulations to the new parents!"
 Sister Qu received hundreds of calls from mother and infant care brands.
 "What's your offer for Qin Guan? Which brand are you representing?"
 "Er Lu!"
 Qin Guan hung up when he heard that name. In 10 days, that brand would go bankrupt.
 "We produce diapers! All we need is one photo and we will provide you with diapers for your baby's entire life."
 "Its entire life? Are you an idiot?"
 ...
 Sister Xue had no idea that someone was following Qin Guan.
 William had paid some cab drivers to watch the area around Xiaotangshan. It was a stupid, but effective idea. In a few days, he spotted Qin Guan.
 Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei were in their small garden when they welcomed Sister Xue, who came to visit them on weekends. Before they could greet each other, a cab roared and pulled up to the entrance of the garden. A man rushed out of the cab.
 "Qin Guan! I finally found you!"
 When Sister Xue came back to her senses, she let out a long sigh of pity for the poor guy.
 "He is a representative of Warner Bros. He wants to have a discussion with you about that Batman film."
 Oh! I forgot about that film. I agreed to it back in America...
 Qin Guan opened the door for him awkwardly. "Come in, please."


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Down has a great plan.

    Therefore, he must quickly complete the original accumulation, lay down an industry, and at the same time use the control of the future trend to secretly weaken the strength of the opponent.

    After receiving a dividend of $ 100 million, his first thought was to invest in the capital market to earn crazy returns.

    But Tang En quickly thought of another thing-Marvel!

    It is now 1997. Marvel has just gone through bankruptcy and reorganization, and it is in a very bad situation. It even once kept selling comics copyrights to survive. But with the box office explosions of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", Marvel's situation immediately improved, and ambitious to build the Marvel universe, and achieved success in one fell swoop.

    It can be said that now is the best time to shoot Marvel-before the release of "X-Men" and Sony Pictures acquired the copyright of Spider-Man.

    Down enlisted assistant George Paxton and asked him to gather information about Marvel and possible acquisitions.

    The news returned was not optimistic.

    The market value of Marvel Entertainment Group is not high now. Last year, it was acquired by Avi Arad and Ike Patterm, and it cost $ 50 million.

    However, unlike Wall Street Capital's control of Marvel in the past, Avi Arad has ambitious ambitions. Not only has he taken back many of the copyrights sold and rented out before, but also established a subsidiary Marvel Pictures, determined to develop the film industry.

    In addition, Avi Arad and Ike Patterm have received collective approval from Marvel's management. Now it is impossible for Tang En to buy Marvel.

    The two shareholders bought Marvel to grow their businesses, not just to capitalize on Wall Street.

    So Marvel's attitude towards Tang En's invitation to buy is uncontested-refuse!

    Tang En rubbed his head with a headache, Marvel's attitude was so decisive, could he only invest funds into the stock market?

    He is not reconciled!

    "Without cooperation, you can only destroy it!"

    Tang En's eyes narrowed tightly into a line, a little coldness appeared on the solemn face.

    He has a firm conviction that he can't give away such a super big mountain like Marvel to future competitors in vain.

    There are still two years to go. If Marvel is still obsessed with this period of time, then Tang En will definitely use all means to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause!

    There are too many comic companies in the United States, and Marvel's only superhero that has become so popular in the United States is Spider-Man.

    As long as Sony Pictures grabbed the copyright of Spider-Man before 1999, and then backhanded with other comic companies to create a parallel universe, allowing Spider-Man to penetrate directly into the parallel universe. This cut the root of Marvel Pictures and broke Marvel Comics. Soul, how can it be as beautiful as the past life?

    Of course, this is the last resort.

    After all, Marvel Universe has successful experiences from previous lives. Tang En controls it, and the safety factor is higher than building a brand new comic universe.

    Just as Tang En was thinking about Marvel's future, he received a call from Bill McNick.

    "Hey, Tang En, is it convenient? I'll visit your studio."

    Tang En has registered his own film company, Tang En Pictures.

    But the company now has only two people, owner Donn Walker and staff member George Paxton, who rented an old-fashioned dwelling house, which is not small in size but not in a good location, and is very close to the ghetto.

    For Bill Maikenike of a sudden visit, Dunn was flattered, "! Bill, you are too kind,"

    Bill laughed: "Never mind, two in the afternoon, I was on time in the past!"

    ...

    Dunn thought Bill Maikenike sudden visit Thanks to the contribution of "Titanic", the film has more than 500 million North American box office, the global box office is approaching 1.3 billion US dollars, the momentum of crazy growth has not diminished.

    But it was n't his assistant who followed Bill McNick, but a bald middle-aged man, kind-looking, suit-shoes, easy-going, strong, aura, very promising.

    Tang En greeted him with a smile and offered to extend his hand. "Hello, Tang En Walker, you can call me Tang En." The

    other person's attitude is more gentle than Tang En , the closeness from his bones. That surprised Tang En. This person's aura can completely work in politics!

    Is it a politician?

    "Hello, Don, my name is Brian Lord, from CAA."

    Behind this gentle voice, there is no threat and confidence as imagined. It is very peaceful and soothing. Tang En couldn't help but be amazed.

    Brian Lord!

    Down has been in Hollywood for so long, and of course he heard this thunderous name.

    After Michael Owitz and Ron Meyer changed roles, Brian Lord became the new CAA's big steward. At the same time, he was also Hollywood's most famous gold medal agent!

    Steve Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Kate Bout Lanchet ... are all entertainers in his hands.

 


    And Brian Lord's assistants are also Hollywood's well-known big-name agents, Maha Duckhill, Pat Kingsley, Hilda Quirie, Tracy Jacobs. I, Heyer Kosinski ...

    Thann swallowed and said he wasn't nervous, it was absolutely false.

    Bill McNick hurriedly said: "Don, I know recently ... you and CAA have some misunderstandings, but I assure you, Brian never knew about it!"

    Tang En controlled the restless mood, his face pale .

    Brian Lord waved his hand, "Whether you know it or not, it's all my job mistakes. Tang En, I apologize for the damage done to you."

    Tang En faced the water, "That I do n't have to. I 've fired William Mihawk, and I 'm in contact with William Morris Agency. "

    Facing Down 's rude words, Brian Lord smiled as usual," Yes, WMA is the industry's largest brokerage firm, CAA dredged from the past two years a lot of big-name stars and directors, by contrast, the situation is more backward in the CAA, each artist must be a very great importance. "

    the statement is on the powerful.

    WMA is now a big name, can you Tang En receive top treatment in the past? But CAA is different. CAA is worrying internally and externally. It is extremely careful about every popular and potential artist, and pays great attention to it, and will do everything in its power to meet all their needs.

    Tang En took a deep look at Brian Lord, and sighed in his heart. It really was an old and hot agent. With a slight compliment, he could show his edge.

    Bill McNick rounded out: "Forget it, Down, give me a face, don't make it up, I believe Brian will give you a statement."

    Brian Lord continued to smile with a sincere attitude. .

    Tang En nodded. "Let's talk in the room."

    Back at the office, Tang En poured a glass of whiskey for the two, and then sat down quietly, waiting for Brian Lord's "say."

    Brian Lord knows it well and laughs: "Don, I heard you're going to buy Marvel Entertainment?"

    Tang En tried to control, but couldn't hide the horror on his face.

    George Paxton collected Marvel's information under his command and proceeded in secret. I never expected that everything was under Brian Lord's control.

    Sure enough, it is a person in Hollywood. This contact and channel information is shocking!

    Tang En took a deep breath. "It does."

    Bill McNick glanced at Tang En and frowned.

    He didn't expect Tang En to be so funny, a director, wouldn't it be good to make a movie? It is understandable that you set up your own studio, but you are too proud to buy Marvel, right?

    Even Warner DC didn't dare to touch the ruins of Marvel. Why are you Tang En?

    Brian Lord's expression was too uniform. From the moment he met with Tang En, it was this gentle and watery look. Don't even try to see his psychological fluctuations on his face.

    "Don, you can make movies like" Titanic ". The special effects technology is definitely one of the best in Hollywood, but a superhero movie ..." Brian Lord shook his head. "This is a mess!"

 


    Bill McNick added: "Yeah, Dunn! Two superhero movies were released this year, Warner's" Batman and Robin "and the new line of" Regenerate Man ", which lost almost everything! Especially bats Xia, invited the superstars such as George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the result? Almost ruined the series! "

    Brian Lord sighed," The project "Batman and Robin" It 's still my operation. It may take at least five years to get back to the book. Tang En, in fact, in the past few years, superhero movies have been declining. The box office was not good. "

    Tang En shook his head firmly." Others don't shoot well, doesn't mean I don't shoot well! Sorry, my biggest wish now is to acquire Marvel. "

    Bill McNick sighed heavily , Brian Lord said nothing more, opened his briefcase, took out a stack of thick documents, and handed it to Tang En.

    When Tang En opened it, he felt that his breathing was short, and his heart was beating. Looking at Brian Lord's eyes, he was afraid!

    This is definitely a top secret material inside Marvel!

    In front of this material, George Paxton's investigations these days are like children playing house.

    This document contains Marvel's internal financial accounts. Regardless of the fact that Marvel now has two major shareholders leading the trend, this document clearly states that Marvel's finances are not healthy. Within two years, Marvel will definitely be on the old road of selling copyrights.

    Two years later ... isn't that when Sony Pictures acquired the copyright of Spider-Man in 1999?

    The document also contains detailed information about the management, each person's specific position, power faction, personality analysis, development concepts and many other aspects.

    This is an encyclopedia of Marvel Entertainment Group!

    No wonder then that Michael Owitz could become the most powerful person in Hollywood for three consecutive years. The CAA's contacts and channels are really amazing ...

Rebirth in hollywood will use his knowledge of the future to be the king of hollywood.

The Shadow has a long and storied history. Over the course of the character's radio and publishing history, The Shadow became an American icon in his own right, and was even the inspiration for Batman, V for Vendetta, as well as being cited as a strong influence on the evolution of comic book heroes in general. 

The Shadow has many ties to DC, even though the character was published by many different companies at different points in history.  Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, and Lester Dent (who wrote the Doc Savage stories) both wrote stories for The Shadow, among others.

DC Comics first published a Shadow series in the mid 1970's. An aging Shadow also appeared in Batman comics in which it is revealed that (in-universe) The Shadow was Batman's "biggest inspiration", as well as the surprising facts that The Shadow saved a young Bruce Wayne as a boy, and that The Shadow knows who Batman is, but the secret is safe with him. Batman also referenced The Shadow when he was once disguised as a night janitor at a police station, a method which The Shadow often used to obtain access to police records in his day. 

Another couple of DC published Shadow series was released in the 80's, and there was one more in the 90's. The Shadow also made a few cameo's in other comics in the 90's. 

This fanfic blends the radio version with the novel and comic book version. Certain RPG systems have been used to provide stats for the character to make tracking of changes easier. This interlude does not cover the many other Shadow comics, novels, pulps, and even movies that have been published over the years.

The Living Shadow, more commonly known as simply The Shadow, is whispered about but seldom seen, feared and mysterious, but frighteningly effective once involved. The Shadow has worked with famous figures such as Doc Savage and Batman, and is even cited by Batman as a source of inspiration and a model figure. 

Decades have passed and nothing as been seen or heard of The Shadow. Criminals have forgotten the chilling whisper in the dark, "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit!" Nor do they recall the frightening laughter in the dead of night. 

But soon the streets will again be haunted, the criminals stalked, evil pruned. 

Who knows what evil lurks in the heart? The Shadow knows!

DC FanFic Writing Contest

Bruce prowled down the hallway.  The whole place was built like a rabbit warren with doorways that led to rooms that led to more winding hallways.  He'd encountered guards precisely once and dealt with them.  He'd also seen signs of Diana's passage in destroyed doorways and unconscious guards.
Bruce had taken the time to tie up the men.  He found it rather telling that they were all men, mostly musclebound.  He hadn't been particularly gentle with the ties.
He rounded a curve and stopped.  In front of an irised doorway, a tiny figure was jumping up and down.  Tiny, outraged squeaks kept emitting from it as it slid down the smooth wall.  Its jumps just missed the small access panel set high on the wall beside the doorway.  The little being turned its head towards him and squeaked imperiously.
He couldn't keep a small smile from appearing.  Bruce wiped it from his lips as he strode forward.  The little being seemed to be made of electricity and sparked nervously as he approached.  He stopped in front of it, towering over it.
The little being looked up at him with dark black eyes.  Then it turned and looked at the access panel and then back at Bruce.  It squeaked, pointing with insistent little jabs at the iris.
"You want in there?" Bruce asked, rewarded by a series of nods.
He studied the access panel.  It was a strange circle, unlike most of the ones he'd seen so far.  Alien symbols decorated the buttons set around a circular display.  Bruce pulled out a few tools and tried them, rewarded with a blinking red error symbol.  At least that's what he surmised.
The little being squeaked again, tugging at the bottom of his cape.  Bruce leaned down, a bit surprised when the being jumped, landing precariously on his shoulder.  He could see the shifting bands of electricity that made its exterior from the corner of his eye, but he could tell that it was an almost illusory thing.  The being had a weight and substance to it.  Bruce fought the urge to straighten up and send it tumbling back to the floor.
He started as it jumped again, landing against the access panel.  It squeaked triumphantly, sinking an arm into the display effortlessly.  Bruce's eyes widened at the sight.
There were a series of almost discordant notes, and the door irised open.  The being yanked its arm out of the display and dropped to the floor.  It darted to the doorway and stopped.  It turned and gestured imperiously at Bruce.
"Coming," Bruce said, following it through the doorway.
It looked like a mad scientist's lab.  Every flat surface was covered with either jars with various body parts floating in them or electronics from displays to input panels.  In the center, a boy was strapped to a chair, a metal collar strapped to his throat.  His arms had just enough room to reach the datapad positioned in front of his face.  He had a sulky expression of resigned anger on his face that was quickly replaced by shocked terror as the little being jumped on his lap.
"Trolli?  How are you here?" He said, his voice hoarse.
The little being squeaked proudly, arms akimbo.  Then it turned towards Bruce and beckoned imperiously, still squeaking.
"You came with the others?" The boy shook his head.  "It's too soon for a rescue.  Do they even have enough intel?"
"Intel or not, people are here," Bruce said as he approached.  "You haven't heard the fighting.
The kid arched one eyebrow.  He glanced around the lab before shaking his head at Bruce.
"Can you hear anything outside this room?" He asked, Trolli now sitting on his shoulder, squeaking worriedly.  "I don't know," he muttered to the little being.
Bruce paused and concentrated.  It was true.  There was no sound to be heard from outside the room.  He glanced back at the closed iris.
"They made it this way so I couldn't be distracted," the boy said bitterly.  He looked up at Bruce.  "My name's Jebediah.  What's yours?"
"Batman," Bruce said shortly, eliciting a smile from the kid.
"Worth a shot," Jebediah said with a sharp smile.  Trolli squeaked at him from his shoulder.  "Yes, yes, I know, Trolli.  Where's Rena?"
Trolli shook its head at Jebediah.  Bruce turned his attention away from them, examining the various jars on a nearby table.  He paused at the simple numerical labels.  He swiftly scanned the jars before stopping on one with a pair of cloudy eyeballs, their irises covered by a light film that couldn't conceal their brilliant jewel-like green color.  A memory surfaced of one of the dossiers of a little girl with a charming smile whose number matched the jar.
"Her name was Brittany.  Her container liked fancy names," Jebediah said, watching him.  "She could make you do anything if you looked in her eyes." The bitter smile was back.  "When she started to truly manifest, she was sent for Disassembly.  The guards tranq'd her from the doorway and dragged her away."
Jebediah looked away.  Trolli patted his cheek with its little hand.
"They had to club Aarti and Kaylen unconscious to get her.  I don't know how they knew to be there," Jebediah continued in a quiet voice.  "Rena told me about it when she came to visit the day after."
"Who's Rena," Bruce asked, fighting the disquiet.  He couldn't tell if it was from the nearly dry recitation by the boy or the fact that he mentioned being dissected as if it were a way of life.
"Half the reason I agreed to the escape plan," the boy said, looking towards him.  Bruce could see the light burning in his eyes, one he was familiar with.  He saw the same light whenever he talked of ridding Gotham of its massive crime problem.  "Trolli was the other."
Trolli squeaked and plunged its little hand into the collar on Jebediah's neck.  There was a click, and the collar cracked open.  When it fell to the ground, beads of blood were seen on the prongs on the inside.
"If you could untie me, I can help you find whoever you were looking for.  I'm sure it wasn't me," Jebediah said with a hoarse little chuckle.  "We just need to open those pods." He nodded towards a corner.  Standing there were three sealed pods with two open ones.  They were made from a solid metal, keeping people from seeing what was inside.  "There was a reason I was strapped while my controller went to see about whatever." Jebediah coughed, a trace of blood appearing on his lips.  "I couldn't really be bothered to wonder what it was," he explained, wiping his mouth on his shoulder.
Bruce went to the chair.  He swept his eyes over the bleeding holes in the kid's neck.  Then he pulled out a knife and worked on the base of the thin cuffs.  The metal sprang free after a moment's tinkering, causing him to frown.
"No one's coming in here but the controller.  There wasn't a need to make it too sturdy.  It's not like I could pull free," Jebediah explained, massaging his wrists.  He turned his attention to the pods.
"So," he asked brightly, "what do you know about magic?"

Tracking what should have been an easy story, Lois Lane stumbles across a kidnapped girl.

When Lois disappears, Superman and Batman are drawn into the mystery.  Encountering six mysterious teenagers looking for the same girl, they uncover a plot that could change their world forever.

Hey I'm Aiko. I love to film. I work on taking pictures and videos to make a edit for my class of 2023. I want to be a movie producer when I am an adult. I have have so much drama and stress in my life that half the time I don't know what to do with it. I am 17 now but not when I met him. When I met him I was only 14. I remember it like it was yesterday.

It was Christmas Eve a perfect night. I walked upstairs to say Hi to the rest of my cousins. A boy...crouched down but looked tall...Looked older than me...Hair in a beanie with a pretty cool leather jacket. His shirt was Batman. He had on black jeans. And he looked like my uncle except way younger. Who is he I thought?

"I am Batman." He said to my cousin Naokatsu.

"Aiko!" Naokatsu ran to me to give me a hug. " Kiatsu likes superheros just like you!" He smiled up at me. I looked at him as he arose. He was taller than me but not too taller. "Kiatsu this is Aiko, or I call her Flash or Black Canary!" 

 "Well, He's wrong. I'm Batman." He said. Then Kotoko ran in the room behind her was Rokuto, Yasuko, and Satoko causually walking in the room.

 "HEY AIKO!" I smiles as she ran up to me to give me a hug.

"Hey crazy." I said rubbing her head. The other three just sat down pretending like I wasn't there and just kinda waved. I hate them. I'm too young to hangout with them. I'm the baby of the group. I am all alone no one is in my 3 year range. In their 3 year range its them. I always been known as the baby the youngest. I never had anyone. Kotoko and Naokatsu don't count Well Kotoko is too young she isn't considered my cousin. She is my step cousin. And Naokatsu well He's my niece technically.

"So you met my brother?" Kotoko smiles. 

I look back at him and He smiles at me. "Your her brother?"

"Guilty as charged." Kiatsu says smiling. I smile back. 

"You ready to stay up till Midnight Aiko?" Naokatsu says jumping onto me I catch him and smile as I cary him with one arm.

"Well, If I have to take care of your crazy butt maybe not." I giggle playing with hair.

"Well, Now you have someone to help!" Kotoko says looking at her brother.

"You're right Kotoko. Batman you are now my side kick to make this Christmas better than last years!" I smile at him. 

"I can do that...But shouldn't you be my sidekick." He smirks at me.

"NO! BLACK CANARY ISN'T A SIDE KICK AND NEITHER IS FLASH!" I yell in his ear. Yasuko looks at me and rolls her eyes. Girl just because this your house doesn't mean you have to act like that...

1 hour and 20 minutes later....

"Aiko?" This so called "Batman" asks as we grab some cupcakes from downstairs.

"Yes?" I reply taking a velvet cupcake. 

"I know its stupid but what do you think love is?"

"Love.....Deep affection.....And when you find the one the world take color."

"How Cliche" He laughs. What is cliche....Who was he in love with? 

"Is there a girl?" I ask.

He just smiles. "I guess you can say that."

"And your in love." 

"Maybe...I dont really know."

"Well what's the deal? She has eyes of a angel or something?"

"She's amazing but...." 

"But what....What's the deal breaker?" I ask

Well she has a boyfriend." I heard the heartbreak in his voice....Poor thing....

1 hour later....

"I know its only 10:34 and we always do this at 11:00 but lets play night tag like every year!" Kotoko says smiling. 

"Why not? Btw New kid or "Batman" it's just tag in Yasuko's grass." I look up at him and he smiles at me.

Thành phố Gotham, dưới một đường cống ngầm.
Một thân hình nhỏ bé bước nhanh qua, phía sau lưng cô ta nhanh chóng có một bóng người còn nhanh hơn thế đi theo.
Sau vài lần dừng gấp chuyển nhanh, [Không Có Sợ Đâu] vẫn bị ép vào một cái ngõ cụt.
Không Sợ thấy vậy, liền nhanh trí xoay người lại, không có dấu hiệu gì báo trước đột nhiên giơ tay ra, cô ta vẫn dùng hai món vũ khí cán dài, nhưng tạo hình của món trang bị đó đã gọn gàng hơn rất nhiều với món trang bị cô ta cầm khi ở "Đảo Thợ Săn".
Là người chơi không chuyên được phòng máy Giang Hồ tập trung huấn luyện, về mặt trang bị của Không Sợ đương nhiên không hề kém.
"Chày Sấm Sét" quét ngang qua, dẫn theo ánh sáng điện lóe lên.
Bóng người đuổi theo bên kia đã có sự chuẩn bị từ trước, nhanh chóng vung tay ra ngăn cản. Nhưng không ngờ, đúng lúc bị ánh điện kia đánh trúng, anh ta bỗng cảm thấy sức lực toàn thân nhanh chóng mất đi, cơ thể tê dại.
"Ồ? Còn có trò này nữa cơ à?" [Thất Sát] cười lạnh, lập tức quát: "Nhưng tiếc là vô dụng!"
Tiếng quát này giống như tiếng sấm vang lên giữa trời quang. Quanh người Thất Sát bỗng có một luồng đấu khí cuồn cuộn, giống như làn sóng hướng về phía Không Sợ.
Không Sợ biết rõ tình thế bất lợi, thực lực của đối phương mạnh hơn cô ta quá nhiều, dùng cứng đấu cứng thì thất bại là chuyện đương nhiên.
Trong lúc tình thế cấp bách, cô ta bỗng có một kế sách, dồn hết sức lực của cơ thể nhảy lên trên một cái, dựa vào luồng khí ầm ầm lao tới đó, huy động thần binh trong tay, đập vỡ lớp xi măng dày đó ra, trực tiếp lao thẳng lên mặt đất.
Bên trên là con đường lớn, còn có rất nhiều xe cộ…
Bỗng nhiên, một mảng mặt đường lớn bị kéo lên như tấm thảm, có một mỹ nữ tay cầm món vũ khí rất lớn chui ra từ dưới lòng đất. Người qua đường và các tài xế đều đã sợ hãi ngây người cả ra, giao thông tê liệt chỉ trong vài giây.
Sau đó, cảnh tượng còn phô trương hơn thế đã xảy ra, chỉ nhìn thấy cô gái thân hình nhỏ bé yểu điệu đó vừa đứng vững đã cầm món vũ khí trong tay xiên vào một chiếc xe taxi trong tay ở gần cô ta nhất, hoàn toàn không thèm để ý xem bên trong có người hay không.
Chiếc xe đó giống như miếng thịt bò bít tết, còn chiếc Chày Sấm Sét trong tay Không Sợ giống như chiếc dĩa. Cô ta dùng vũ khí nhấc chiếc xe taxi đó lên, miệng tức giận gào lên một tiếng, ném chiếc xe về lỗ hổng trên mặt đường.
Thất Sát xuất chiêu vừa nãy xong, đứng yên tại chỗ vài giây, không ngờ khi anh ta đạp nhảy lên thì thứ nghênh đón anh ta lại là một cục sắt lớn màu vàng đang trên đà rơi xuống.
Khi anh ta nhảy lên trên chỉ là để nhảy lên mặt đất, chân không dùng hết sức. Nếu anh ta biết sẽ có chướng ngại vật như vậy thì tuyệt đối sẽ dốc hết sức để vung quyền xông ra ngoài, nếu không anh ta sẽ bị chiếc xe đó đánh quay lại dưới đất, hoặc bị đánh gãy thành hai khúc.
Nhưng trên đời này không có nếu…
Thất Sát đã nhảy lên giữa không trung, không có điểm tựa lực nào, đành phải giơ hai tay lên bảo vệ đầu, cứ thế chịu đựng cú va đập này. Trọng lực của chiếc xe ô tô cộng thêm lực của Không Sợ, khiến Thất Sát bị đè lại, quay trở lại đường cống thoát nước.
Còn chưa hết, ở trên phố Không Sợ ném xe ô tô xong lập tức thu lại Chày Sấm Sét, lấy hai khẩu súng tiểu liên Uzi từ trong ba lô ra. Hai tay cầm súng xả một trận xuống phía dưới. Trước khi hết đạn, cô ta đã thành công bắn trúng thùng xăng của chiếc xe taxi kia, dẫn tới một vụ nổ.
Những đòn tấn công dồn dập liên tiếp đột nhiên kéo đến, ác liệt từ trên cao dội xuống, ngắn ngủi nhưng cứng rắn. Ba nhân tố này khiến người chiếm ưu thế về thực lực là Thất Sát bị thua thiệt nhiều. Tuy khi nghe thấy tiếng súng anh ta đã dốc hết sức để trèo từ gầm xe ra để chạy trốn ra xa. Nhưng vẫn bị ảnh hưởng bởi vụ nổ kia.
Giá trị HP của Thất Sát giảm mạnh chỉ còn 19%, anh ta vội vàng nuốt một bình Thuốc bổ sung HP (lớn) vào bụng. Cũng mặc kệ những vết bỏng trên người và hiệu quả chảy máu kèm theo, anh ta đạp chân một cái, bật nhảy rồi lại tiếp tục đuổi theo.
Lần này Thất Sát nhảy rất cao, nhưng sau khi đi xuyên qua miệng hố trên mặt đường, nhảy lên giữa không trung, anh ta đã không nhìn thấy bóng dáng Không Sợ đâu nữa.
"Chậc… Trốn thoát rồi sao…" Thất Sát không hài lòng mắng chửi, "Đúng là không thể sơ suất dù chỉ một chút…" Anh ta từ từ rơi xuống, hai chân chạm đất. Khi tiếp đất quỳ một gối xuống đất, anh ta lại bị thương một chút, "Xui xẻo, nhảy cao quá rồi…"
Lúc này, tiếng còi cảnh sát vang lên, xe tuần tra xung quanh đã đến, hai cảnh sát tuần tra chạy đến, giơ súng lên nhắm vào anh ta nói: "Ê! Anh kia! Đứng im, hai tay đặt ở vị trí tôi nhìn thấy được."
Thất Sát liếc nhìn họ một cái, miệng lẩm bẩm: "Hừ… Cô em kia đập đồ bừa bãi, nhưng sao lại bắt mình đổ vỏ thế này…" Anh ta không để ý đến sự uy hiếp của hai viên cảnh sát, quan sát xung quanh, rồi tìm một hướng trông có vẻ thuận mắt, hạ thấp chân xuống một chút, rồi trong chốc lát đã biến thành một luồng ảo ảnh lao vọt đi.
Hai viên cảnh sát kia nhìn đến ngu người. Tầm nhìn của họ có thể miễn cưỡng đuổi theo được Thất Sát, nhưng đến khi họ điều chỉnh được nòng súng qua đó thì người đã chạy xa rồi. Hơn nữa, họ cũng không có đủ tự tin để bắn trúng được mục tiêu đang di chuyển với tốc độ cao như vậy, nếu bắn bừa có khi còn trúng vào cư dân thành phố.
"Tổng bộ, ở chỗ chúng tôi có tình huống nghiêm trọng! Nghi ngờ là vũ lực của siêu tội phạm tấn công." Đến khi họ phản ứng lại được, họ mới vội vàng trở về chiếc xe tuần tra, dùng máy bộ đàm báo cáo tình hình ở đây.
…
Cùng là thành phố Gotham, ở một bãi đỗ xe dưới tầng hầm.
Hai bóng người, đang giằng co nhau.
Phương thức suy nghĩ của những người được gọi là cao thủ hay kẻ mạnh luôn có rất nhiều điểm chung, cho nên, khi họ vào phó bản chưa đầy một giờ đã tìm thấy đối phương rồi.
"Thật không ngờ lại gặp anh trước." Người đàn ông đang nói khoảng chừng hai sáu hai bảy tuổi, tóc đen ngắn, dáng người cao ráo mạnh mẽ, khuôn mặt không tầm thường. [Ngộ Tử Tham Huyền] mặc một bộ quần áo đen tuyền, khoác áo choàng của Trật Tự, mỗi tay cầm một bình sơn phun, ý nghĩa không rõ ràng.
"Tôi là người cậu không muốn gặp nhất đúng không." [Shiva] đáp, anh ta có vẻ lớn hơn đối phương vài tuổi, mái tóc dài che nửa khuôn mặt, đồng phục của "Chư Thần" khó che đi được thân hình cao lớn cường tráng. Trên tay anh ta lại không có gì cả, dáng vẻ như thể có thể đánh nhau tay không.
"Có thể nói vậy." Ngộ Tử Tham Huyền: "Nhưng mà… Nếu muốn thắng trong trận tàn sát game này, anh buộc phải vượt qua một bức tường cao. Gặp anh trong lúc tôi đang ở trạng thái tốt nhất cũng là chuyện tốt, có lẽ sẽ có một trận đấu không tồi đấy…"
"Có phải cậu hiểu lầm gì không?" Shiva lạnh lùng đáp lại: "Đối với cậu mà nói, tôi là một ngọn núi cao mới đúng."
"Vậy sao? He he…" Trước sự khiêu khích của Shiva, Ngộ Tử Tham Huyền cười lạnh đáp lại: "Trong quá khứ, chúng ta đã từng giao đấu trong game khác không chỉ một hai lần, tôi thừa nhận năng lực của anh, nhưng…" Trong mắt cậu ta lóe lên thần sắc kỳ quái: "Sau khi chứng kiến sức chiến đấu của 'thằng nhóc đó', tôi đã thấy được 'vùng đất' mới, anh so với cậu ta, chẳng qua cũng chỉ vậy mà thôi." Ngộ Tử Tham Huyền đang châm chọc ngược lại: "Đó cũng là lý do tại sao anh vẫn luôn bị chèn ép trên bảng xếp hạng lực chiến."
"Người xếp hạng cao thì chắc chắn sẽ giành được chiến thắng sao?" Shiva đáp: "Chiến đấu trong 'Khu vui chơi đáng sợ' có biến số rất lớn, không cần tôi nói cho cậu biết điều này đúng không."
"Câu này tôi trả lại nguyên si cho anh đấy, bởi vì đó cũng là lý do hiện tại tôi vẫn đứng đây." Ngộ Tử Tham Huyền nói: "Đáng tiếc… 'Biến số' mà anh nói, không liên quan gì đến thằng nhóc kia cả. Đừng cho rằng anh so với Quỷ Kiêu chỉ cách xa một bước." Trong mắt cậu ta lóe lên thứ gì đó: "Tuy nhìn có vẻ chỉ là khác biệt giữa top 1 và top 2, nhưng khoảng cách đó… Có khi còn xa hơn cả khoảng cách giữa anh và top 100 đấy."
"Hừ… Vậy thì…" Shiva nói, phía sau anh ta hiện lên tám chiếc khay bằng đá, mỗi chiếc có kích thước bằng lòng bàn tay, hình dạng hơi khác nhau, "Trước tiên hãy thử chứng kiến xem, khác biệt giữa tôi và cậu lớn đến đâu đã nhỉ…"
…
Thành phố Gotham, công xưởng "Thiên đường Phương Bắc*".
*Tên riêng ở trong series comic Batman của DC.
Phong Bất Giác huýt sáo, thảnh thơi bước xuống từ một chiếc xe taxi, nhét cho tài xế một tờ một trăm đô, vô cùng đắc ý nói một câu: "Không phải trả lại tiền thừa!"
Tài xế cảm ơn, trong lòng mừng thầm lái xe rời đi.
Bây giờ đã là một tiếng đồng hồ kể từ lúc Phong Bất Giác ra khỏi ngân hàng, trong một tiếng này, anh đã đi ra sạp báo, giống như cướp mua một đống báo lớn. Sau đó đến một khách sạn nhỏ không yêu cầu chứng minh nhân dân thuê một phòng, vừa nghiên cứu tin tức vừa bấm CD phóng kỹ năng triệu hoán. Trong khoảng thời gian này anh đã triệu hoán ra được mấy thứ, thực lực đa phần đều ngang ngửa như "Cò đầu búa", hình thể khá nhỏ, cũng không có năng lực gì đặc biệt.
Nhân tiện nhắc lại, khi Phong Bất Giác ở ngân hàng, anh đã đựng một túi tiền mặt đầy đô la Mỹ, sau đó để túi tiền mặt đó vào trong ba lô… Cho nên mua báo, thuê khách sạn, gọi xe gì gì đó… Hoàn toàn không phải là vấn đề gì to tát.
"Thiên đường Phương Bắc… Hừ… Có của anh thật, ông anh Victor." Phong Bất Giác nhìn nhà xưởng phía trước nói.
Ông anh Victor mà anh nói chính là Mr Freeze* (tên thật là Victor Fries).
(*) Mr Freeze: lần đầu xuất hiện trong series comic Batman số 121(năm 1959). Mr. Freeze có tên thật là Victor Fries, một nhà khoa học tài năng phải tìm đến giải pháp cực đoan để cứu thoát tình yêu của hắn – Nora khỏi cuộc sống đóng băng trong tủ đông lạnh. Hắn biến thành một tội phạm để có tiền cho nghiên cứu của mình, và giữa trí tuệ vô cùng thông minh, một súng ống đóng băng chết người cùng bộ giáp tăng cường sức mạnh, hắn là một đối thủ đáng gờm của Batman.
Phần lớn các nhân vật phản diện trong Batman đều là những kẻ điên loạn, nhưng Mr. Freeze lại là một người với đầu óc bình thường.
Cuộc chiến tranh giành áo choàng cũng được coi là một trong những sự kiện lớn của series comic DC, Phong Bất Giác cũng đã từng xem. Anh không thể nói là rất quen thuộc với cốt truyện, nhưng chỉ cần đã từng xem qua, anh đã có thể dựa vào ký ức, để lôi hết toàn bộ những tình tiết từ to đến nhỏ trong khu lưu trữ ký ức ra…
Nói một cách đơn giản, cốt truyện chính là sau khi Bruce Wayne "chết" (Năm đó DC Comics đã viết cho Batman chết để nâng cao lượng tiêu thụ, sau đó lại không có tiết tháo gì tuyên bố thực ra anh ta đã xuyên không), Jason Todd thế hệ thứ hai mưu đồ tiếp nhận danh hiệu của Batman, cướp lấy danh hiệu đó. Nhưng sau khi Todd bị The Rocker giết chết một lần (để vợt tiền mà vất vả sống chết kiếm tiền), đánh mất chính mình, mặt đen tối trong tính cách được thổi bùng lên, đi trên con đường lệch lạc, điên cuồng.
Bởi vậy cho nên, Robin đời đầu Dick Grayson (đã thoát khỏi Batman tự lập sự nghiệp, rời khỏi thành phố Gotham đi đến Brookhaven, tự lập trở thành Nightwing), trở về thành phố Gotham, là người kế nhiệm tốt nhất của Bruce, anh ta không phụ sự kỳ vọng của mọi người (DC tặng một hào quang nhân vật chính) cuối cùng đã đánh bại Todd, kế thừa sự nghiệp của Batman.
Trong trận đấu tranh đó, còn có hai vị Robin ra trận "làm cảnh". Đương nhiên, họ kém hơn hai vị nêu trên.
Còn điều Phong Bất Giác quan tâm thực ra không phải là bản thân "Trận chiến giành áo choàng" này, điều anh quan tâm hơn là những đầu mối ngầm phía sau trận chiến giành áo choàng nhưng xảy ra trong cùng lúc đó…
Thứ nhất, là cuộc đấu tranh giữa Two Face và Penguin. Thứ hai, là những tên phạm nhân trong nhà tù Arkham mà Black Mask* đã phóng thích và khống chế. Thứ ba, chính là sự kiện Mr. Freeze bị cảnh sát trưởng Gordon bắt.
(*) Mặt nạ đen là một giám sát giả tưởng xuất hiện trong truyện tranh Mỹ được xuất bản bởi DC Comics. Được tạo bởi Doug Moench và Tom Mandrake, anh xuất hiện lần đầu tiên trong Batman # 386.
Xem những tin tức trên báo thì lúc này vẫn chưa xảy ra sự kiện thứ ba…


　　Phong Bất Giác năm nay hai mươi bốn tuổi, là một nhà văn trinh thám. Một ngày, anh đột nhiên phát hiện bản thân đã mất đi cảm giác "sợ hãi". Phong Bất Giác đến bệnh viện kiểm tra thì phát hiện ra vấn đề lớn. Chụp cộng hưởng từ hiển thị một bóng mờ trên đại não của anh, ở gần hạch hạnh nhân, không loại trừ khả năng đó là khối u.
          Hai tháng trôi qua, bóng mờ trên não bộ của Phong Bất Giác vẫn không có gì thay đổi, không trở thành ác tính, cũng không thu nhỏ hoặc biến mất, các chỉ số kiểm tra sức khỏe khác đều hoàn toàn bình thường. Mất đi sự sợ hãi là triệu chứng duy nhất, hơn nữa không ai có thể nói rõ liệu anh có chết hay không, hoặc có thể sống thêm được bao lâu, vậy thì cứ để mặc cho số trời.
Một lần vô tình nhìn thấy quảng cáo Close Beta của game “Khu vui chơi đáng sợ”, anh quyết định bỏ một số tiền lớn ra mua khoang game về chơi. Mục đích tham gia game này của Phong Bất Giác không chỉ đơn giản là "chơi", mà chủ yếu là muốn bị "dọa". Anh mang tâm trạng dù hết thuốc chữa cũng phải thử một lần, tìm lại cảm giác sợ hãi cho bản thân.



BRENDAN POV

"Seriously how much a jerk can you guys be? 3 years passed and you still want to bully me, Sam?" I asked him who now is with his lackeys on the ground with their swollen eyes after I beat them up like usual.

Their head is thick as steel as they attempt to bully me and ended up being beaten up by me.

Anyway now I am 11 years old and attend the local primary school which is the last year.

At school, I aced all the test since the test are easy for me to answer them.

My alias as "Overhaul" now seems to be getting popular as now criminals and thugs will be scared of me if they see me from far.

I still kept wearing the black hood with now I managed to get Kevlar Vest that I wore beneath the hood.

I also sewed a mask for me. It is tiring painful to see my own suit. 

Anyway, my money now is almost 20 million after I stole much money from the crime family.

Penguin keeps his promise to send many men after me and I kill them. I delivered their kidneys and tongues back to him.

Penguin's factories, the illegal one's got destroyed by me. Penguin tried to use the police to capture me but he didn't have any evidence as I burned his CCTV when I invaded his factory.

So yeah, Penguin basically has me as number 1 in his shit list with the second is Batman.

Speaking of Batman, he now has confronted Joker. This Joker is really crazy if I had to admit as he publicly released his poisonous gas.

Their fight seems endless where Batman locked him up and Joker got freed after months passed.


But there is still no Robin yet nor Batgirl but I already see the soon to be Robin as I sometimes see the flying Grayson shows.

This is the last day of my primary school and after this, I will be leaving this orphanage with enough money.


GENERAL POV

"Are you sure about this Brendan?" The caretaker asked him and he nodded his head.

"Here is the money. 5 million." Brendan said and he gives her the briefcase which contains money.

The caretaker eyed the case suspiciously but took it. 

She did not check it and bring out some documents. She then handed it to Brendan who accepted it.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I apologise if I offend you." I said to her and she just smiles.

"It's alright. I forgive you." She said to me.

Brendan put the documents into his mountain walking backpack.

"Hope we see each other in the future," Brendan said to the caretaker who waves her hand to her.

Brendan did not go directly to the bus station as he planned to go to another city tomorrow. Rather he decided to book a room for a night at the hotel.

He decided to patrol this city for the last time before he goes to another city. Not like he will come to this city back anymore.

Brendan now is floating on the air using his gravity manipulation with his Strength Force. He currently is floating on the top of the Wayne Enterprise building.

His strength force now let him able to have super strength which he wagers now he can just things weight 1 ton. If he pushes it further he can lift thing that weight 3 ton at least with struggling.

Now he also can stop bullets using Still Force and he also can use the Still Force to drain the life force from any living objects.

He also can now use the energy construct creation thought he can make swords and chain. He still has not unlocked the other ability but he is sure he can get them and improved them.

His Strength and Still Force kept growing stronger and he knew if he confronted The Flash right now, he will win.

But now he has a mission which is to kill the Turtle. And steal his power as stealing Turtle's power will increase his Still Force.

BRENDAN POV

"Now that I think about it, has The Flash appeared or not? I only know Green Arrow has started a year ago." 

I am now in deep thinking while formatting my plan when my eyes catch a figure is running among the building.

"Oh. It seems The Batman is patrolling the city." I said and then goes to the edge of the building.

My body glowed green and I levitate. Many people will say I fly seeing me in this state.

I slowly go down to a building and landed gently only to hear someone scream.

Guess the Batman has struck once again. I calmly approach the location but then my ear something landed behind me.

"He sure is a sneaky person. The perk of learning under the League of Assasins." I turned behind and there he is in his glory, Batman who is actually Bruce Wayne, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, the richest man in this city or world plus an orphan due to his parent died due to a mugger.

"Are you Overhaul?" He asks me and I just smiled hearing his.

"Yeah. It is nice to meet you, Mr Batman." I greeted him.

His face did not change a bit."Why did you attack Penguin?" He asks me a simple question.

"He tried to strike a problem with me," I replied.

"And you freeze him with his lackeys," Batman said to me.

"Yeah. At least they are not frozen to death." I replied but I can see the famous Bat-glare aimed at me.

"But you burned his factory and injured some people." He said and I can see his tense body. 

"Yup. He threatened me so I paid him back." I replied.

"What you did is wrong." He said and now he is trying to fight me.

"Whoa whoa. Chill down Mr Batman. I did not want to right you. I mean I did not want to hit my favourite superhero." I said to him but he did not bother with that comment.

"I am starting to lean more to Superman as my favourite superhero right now," I commented but is met with silence.

Damn. This guy sure is a tough nut to crack.

"So Mr Batman have you solved the child trafficking case?" I asked him.

"Yeah. I solved them without burning 2 people." He said to me.

"Hahaha. You caught me." I said while feeling relief that he did not discover my secret identity but even though he knew it I did not care as I also know his secret identity.

"You are gifted with powers and yet you use them in the wrong way," Batman said to me.

"Wrong way huh?" I muttered before I dash forward and try to punch his blank face but he skillfully dodge my punch and counter back by sending a blow to my abdomen but I hold my knee up to block it before doing a roundhouse kick to his face but he managed to block it with his right arm but I did not stop there.

I flip backwards and then moved forward to deliver a punch to his chest but he tilts his body and tried to flip my body but I jump and tried to knee him but yet again he dodges it by stepping backwards.

He then delivers many blows to me which I had to dodge and block until he managed to land a punch my face and knee my stomach but I quickly use my elbow to hit his head strongly.

He staggered for a second before trying to judo throw me.

I quickly use my other elbow to strike his throat but he pushes me forward and delivers a kick to my stomach making me thrown backwards.

He then throws a ball which exploded to a taser net but I moved to the left only to be met with a punch from him to my face but my right leg quickly kicks his knee making him stop for a second.

A second is all I need as I delivered my brows repeatedly to his abdomen and face but yet he still stands.

"You are pretty good at hand to hand combat. Who taught you?" He asks me.

"When you needed to survive in this damn city, you must learn how to protect yourself," I replied.

"Watch many videos and involved in many brawls made me good at hand to hand combat," I said while remembering the brawls I involved when the students in my old school tried to beat me with quantities.

"Hm." He hummed and that made me annoyed.

"You seems to be brawler type yet you skilfully executed your movements." He said to me.

"Thank for the praise." I thank him. Who knew he could be a nice person?

"Not bad for a punk." He said to me making me annoyed.

"Geez at least call me something other than punk," I told him but Batman throws a smoke bomb to the ground.

Great. I hate when he does this.

I duck to avoid a kick from Bagman and throws a punch to my left but hit nothing but my head got kick. The moment I am about to fall I use my hand to support me and twist my body to deliver a kick to behind me but my kick hit the air.

"Okay. Okay. Calm down. You just needed to wait for the right moment to strike." I thought in my mind but ended up getting hit on my knees.

I lit my hand with my blue fire and commands the fire to surrounds me.

"Well since you already use your gadgets I will use my power," I said before I see Batarang exploded upon hitting my blue fire.

"Your Batarang cannot beat my fire, Batman," I said to him.

"But this does." I heard his voice and quickly avoided being tackled by him. Damn, his suit can withstand high temperature.

But I see his suit is a bit into torn. I can see the frown on his face.

"If you wanted to speak against me, you should have kept quiet rather than speaking to me," I told him.

"Point taken." He replied but then I looked below and see many pebbles. I destroyed them with my blue fire and made a firewall in front of me blocking 2 Batarang which exploded.

I moved my hand to the floor and send a fire wave to the surrounding and I point my hand to my left and shot a fireball to the Batman who uses his cape to block it.

He landed on the ground and I quickly command my fire to surround him but he dashes through my fire and throws 3 pebbles which exploded and a flash is made.

"So you tried to blind my eyes huh Batman?" I said while closing my eyes. I already predicted this and Batman seems to now wear 2 electric knuckles.

He then dashed to me but I blast my fire to him and he dodged it with using the cape as a shield to block my fire.

His blow almost hit me if I did not boost myself to go backwards with my left hand.

He then takes a deep breath and seems to be in trance.

Then he moved and I am able to react when his taser knuckle almost approach my stomach and I use my fire clad left hand to block it.

But the other taser knuckle hit my lower left abdomen.

I grit my teeth again even though it hurts very much and use the other hand to make ice knuckle.

My ice knuckle hit his face sending him backwards and I grab my lower left abdomen which now feels numb right now.

"I needed to flee right now." I thought in my hand before making many fireballs and send them to Batman who avoided them before I send a fire wave that made Batman jump backwards and I shoot many ice spikes to Batman hitting his knee and right shoulder.

He landed safely and we started at each other.

"May we see each other again Mr Batman," I said to him and jumped below with quickly activated Warp Gate to send me back to my hotel room.

"He sure is one tough punk." He commented.

"Damn it. I cannot put a tracer on him and did not manage to know his real identity." Batman thought in his head.

He then goes back to his base to get treatment.


GENERAL POV

Beneath a mansion is a cave which is the Bat Cabe and we can see Bruce Wayne who is actually the Batman is getting treatment by his friend and butler, Alfred.

"So you are saying that Overhaul did this to you, Master Wayne," Alfred asked Bruce Wayne who nodded his head.

"Yes, Alfred. It had to be the night when I did not bring my extra pebbles and Batarang. If I had them I can counter him. For a boy who seems to be not older than 12 years old boy, he seems to be fighting very well. He surprises me." Bruce said to Alfred who raises his eyebrows hearing this.

"Are you sure he is self-taught? I mean you mastered many martial arts yet he managed to keep up with you." Alfred said to him.


"I am holding back since I wanted to measure him but it proved to be a mistake. He said to me he watched videos of fighting and get into many brawls." Bruce said to him.

"Ah. Guess that is why he wanted to endure your blows, sir. I mean the brawls he participated is sure not normal to be this good at hand to hand combat." Alfred said to Bruce who just kept quiet.

"For all I know, he has the ability to manipulate fire with ice and yet I get the feeling he also is holding back.

" I should put him in my caution list." Bruce thought in his head.


BRENDAN POV

I am now in my hotel room while wearing no shirt.

I closed my eyes while activating Eri's Quirk, Rewind to make my body become healthy and back to normal again.

"Ha. That feels better." I said while sighing in relief that I managed to escape from the Batman.

"I needed to improve myself in hand to hand combat. But still, how do I do that?" I thought in my head while searching for any idea before an idea formed in my head.

"Ted Grant. He can train me. But I needed to search for him." I then searched for his boxing gym, Wildcat Gym.

"Starling City huh? This could be good as I plan to go to that city to continue my study there."  said.

"Damn. If I go all out today, Batman surely will die but I did not want that. The world needed him and Gotham needed him to. Plus it will be boring without the paranoid Batman." 

"Let's go to sleep. It is a tiring day for me." Brendan fell asleep with him having a nice dream about him beating Batman many time.


STARLING CITY POV

"Well Starling City, here I am." Brendan Hunter said while looking at the city.

"Hmm. Should search a place for living and register me at the local middle school." I thought in my head before my stomach made a sound.

"But I should fill up my stomach," I said and quickly searched a place for me to eat.

Then my eyes see a place for me to eat."Big Belly Burger, rumoured to have the best delicious fries and burgers. " I muttered and entered Big Belly Burger.

I see many people are in the Big Belly Burger. families, siblings and couples can be seen sitting in the Big Belly Burger with all of them are enjoying eating their food.

My saliva almost came out from my mouth when I see the food sets.

I decided to buy 2 sets of special sets and sit next to a man and woman. They seem like a family based on their look. Maybe father and daughter?

I eat my food and my first bite on the burger made me stunned. Damn if this was the anime, Food Wars, there will a reaction which will make me moan of this tasty food but sadly I did not as I did not want to cause a scene which will make me embarrass myself.

My mouth kept munching the finger-licking good foods until my late is clean from having any food.

I am now slurping my drink which is the Coke drink which made me have a happy face.

It's been a dream for me to eat this kind of food since, in my previous life, I will be left behind when my parent with my older siblings eat at, KFC or Texas Chicken.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should taste them. Just thinking about those eating places made me lick my lips.

"You have a funny expression on your face young man." I heard the man beside my table said to me and I turned my head to look at him.

I sheepishly rub my head while feeling embarrassed seeing him notice my expression.

"Hahaha. Well, it is the first time for me to taste this kind of foods." I inform him before noticed a solemn expression on his face.

"Where are your parent?" I heard the woman asked me a question.

"I do not know. All I know they left me at the orphanage." I told them and both of them now have sad expression.

But one thing that I noticed that the more I looked at these 2, I felt like I knew them from a certain series.

But the question is which series?

Brendan Hunter, a teen who has a bad life founded himself in the world of DC with 4 quirks and 2 Force that accompanied him.
