Batman and Robin Pt.21-Faliures
After finding out what the Red Hood Gang’s plan was, all I had to do was wait. I placed some machines in their frequently visited places, to try and find out what time the heist would be. Preparations were easy, and so I monitored them while relaxing the rest of the day, well as best as I could, with Dick around It was easy to lay around, since he kept pushing me to do so. In the mean time I checked up any leads on Dick, but still I found nothing, Deahstroke has been doing his best to hide him.
Back in the cave I’m sitting around in my chair when Alfred comes over.
“Bruce, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something” he says reassuringly, and I turn my chair to him, simple gestures like that, and making eye contact when someone’s talking to you can help a lot, though I forgot to do that with Dick, every now and again.
“Don’t think of Master Richard running away as a failure, this is just…simply a lesson, for the future” I raise one eyebrow, this doesn’t really seem like a lesson, one of the worst things I have ever seen was him being beaten by Two Face, I tried to make sure it never happened again…but that didn’t work.
“I’m sure we’ll find Master Grayson again, and bring him back home, but when he does come back, don’t act towards him like he was a failure, instead act like a parent, sure he did something he shouldn’t have, but you had smashed his dreams by taking away the Robin name, and I think, he just needs a little comfort” I put my hand on my forehead as I let it rest there for a moment, I know Alfred’s right…but it gets a little hard to admit stuff like that, I know I should have acted better to Dick, but I didn’t and now all this crap has happened.
“I’ll take that into consideration” I stand up and walk over to my suit, the heist should be pretty soon, so now I need to get ready for it.
After I get suited up, I walk down to the trophies, each one is from a different accomplishment, one that I worked hard to get, then there’s this one…a failure, a life I couldn’t save.
“Woah, come on man, It’s a set up, they gave me a flashy costume, m-my wife, they threatened her, c-come on, come on I’m not bad let me talk face to face with you” he pulls off the red hood, but it gets stuck by his nose, he tugs, while trying to get away from me, I get closer, still keeping a menacing look, can’t let my guard down, he could be lying to get pity out of me, after all, criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot. Then suddenly, he hits the railing, and his feet begin to scramble.
“Woa, woah, help meeeeee….” As a support railing breaks he falls in, I feel like life is going in slow motion for a minute, I reach my hand out to catch him. I grab his hand, but I feel his gloved hand slip away, and there’s nothing I can do.
SLPASH
I look down into the acid, his body doesn’t come up, but instead, the red dome helmet, and some playing cards, but the one that stood out, was a joker card.
“You’re looking at that thing again” Alfred says, which wakes me up from my trance like state.
“It’s such a bad memory, my second year as Batman, and that happened, it’s amazing how some things just never leave your mind, and his is no exception. It haunts my mind, knowing that a man that may have been innocent fell in” As I remember the situation I’m amazed that I was able to put the costume back together, I got the helmet from the acid, and the GCPD were able to recover the clothes, based off a residue left on the clothes from the chemicals, and I then was given them by Gordon, though I don’t know what happened to that man, whatever happened to his body.
“You know, Alfred…If that man ever came back…god I don’t know how I’d react” he looks concerned, he doesn’t want me to have this on my mind, so he walks over, trying to reassure me.
“Bruce, look at all the good you’ve done, sure you may have messed up in some places, but for every good thing you’ve done, there are a lot better things” I look at him, he’s right, but I can’t bring myself to say that.
“Like what?”
“For Two Face, there’s Harvey Dent, all the times you helped him out over the years, you two were best friends, for Richard running away, there’s the time when you decide to look after him, because you know what it’s like, to see your family die before your eyes, and biggest of all, for that one man you couldn’t save, there’s the tons that you have in the past three years” I smile, I guess I just needed a refresher, I look at the time and notice that it’s just about time to go.
I begin to head over to the Batmobile, as I put my helmet on.
“You know, Alfred, I think I just needed a refresher” I pick up my pace and hop in, I rev up the engines and zoom out of the cave, and onto the road, I’m filled with determination, now it’s time to go hunting for the Red Hood Gang.
