Batman perched himself on the cathedral tower. The once-magnificent stone had chipped and fade after years of being exposed to the thick, polluted Gotham air. The light breeze made his cape dance in the wind, but did nothing to relieve it's heavy burden. This week he had done something he never thought possible. He had saved Gotham completely from the Joker's crazed grip. But it came with a heavy price. Batman had stolen away his life. He had taken everything from the Joker - his personality, his memories, and even his face - and wiped them clean. The Joker was no more. Now only existed a shadow of a man named Jonathan Pun. Using his vast wealth, it was simple for Batman to purchase a new house, job, and driver's license. The difficult part was implanting new memories into the newly created man. For that, Batman had to take memories from one of the Joker's victims. It was an ironic joke that the last thing the Joker ever stole would be the life of a nighttime security guard for Wayne Enterprises. However, it did afford Batman an easy opportunity to watch over the man to ensure he was adjusting well to his new life.
Bruce sighed from beneath his mask. Thankfully, it was a quiet night. However, the peace allowed him to brood over his decision. Batman had never willfully and purposely taken a life up until this point. Was the safety of the city worth compromising his ideals?
Suddenly, the night sky erupted into bright light. It took a second before the sound of the large explosion to reach his ears. Batman narrowed his eyes to focus on the fireball climbing up into the night sky. As he leaped from the edge, he calculated it was approximately 12 blocks away. It would be faster to hitch a ride of the passing elevated train rather than get to his car. He swooped down on to of the shiny roof of the speeding train with his fists clamping down on the edge like a vice grip. He would be at the explosion in less than thirty seconds, but he could only hope that he was not too late to save anyone there.
