Batman: A Hero Will Rise (Part 2)

*Chapter 9*  *Kayla*

"You asshole!" I yelled at Will. "You left him there!"

Batwoman took her mask off. "Piper??" I asked.

"Will, where's my brother?" She asked. I heard another explosion and I looked at the building. Someone is falling.

"Will!" I said. "Look, is that..."

"Let's go find out," Piper said.

***

 "I found him!" Will yelled. I ran over to Will and saw Drake laying next to him.

"Is he breathing?" I asked and Will nodded.

"How is he alive?" Piper asked. "That was a-"

"His cape got caught under something when he was falling. He never hit the ground," he said.

*Piper*

"Where should we go?" I asked. "Should we take him to a hospital?"

"No," Will said. "He's not injured that bad. Let's take back him to your place, Dutch can help Drake"

"I heard my name?" The voice surprised me and I stomped on the break. "Ow, my head. Are you trying to kill us?" Drake mumbled.

"You scared the shit out of me."

"Let's go home."

*Chapter 10*  *Drake*

  I heard laughing and screams. I saw a house collapse. "Drake," a voice whispered.

 

  I woke up in the back of the van and Kayla was cuddling with me. "You okay?" She asked me.

"Why is the van not moving? Where are we?"

"Walmart. Piper and Will went in for food, we have ten miles left."

"Why didn't you go inside?"

"Because I don't want to leave you."

I saw the house collapse again. "Something is wrong," I said.

"What is it? You okay?"

"How far away did you say we are?"

"Ten miles. What's wrong?"

"Stay here." I got up.

"I'm coming with you. What's going on?"

"I don't know but I'm going to find out."

"Drake-" I got out,shut the door, and started running.

*Chapter 10*  *Drake*

  I got to my house in thirty minutes. It's ruined, collapsed upon itself. The house from the dream. I ran to the house.

"Mom?! Dad?!" I walked through the ruins. I saw some one under a pile of broken wood tiles. I threw the wood to the side and saw my dad under a metal beam.

"Dad!" I yelled.

"Drake," he mumbled. "Riddler- Why are you here? Jason was supposed to warn you."

"Riddler? Did he do this?"

I'm proud of you," he stopped breathing.

"Dad!" I screamed. "Don't do this. Come back." I stood up and tried to move the metal beam but it's stuck. I dropped to my knees, and I set my head against the wet grass and cupped my ears. I felt tears. I've never cried before. stop crying, you're fifteen years old, grow up. I heard a car pull up but I stayed still.

"Drake," Kayla said. She stood by the van.

"I should have been here," I whispered to myself. "I should have been HERE!!" She's next to me now.

"There was nothing you could do."

"I- I could have saved him, I could have saved Tyler. Why can't I save anybody? I could have saved James. I could have saved them!"

"Drake,sit up and look at me." I did. She put her hands on my cheeks. "You saved me,Will, and Piper. You never knew that this would happen, the Joker had you busy. You can't change the past."

*Chapter 11*  *Drake*

  I watch the streets at night. I keep the people safe. And I never get tired of it.

I will find the Riddler.

I will find Joker.

And I will find the man who shot and killed James. Because I mad a promise that I'm going to keep."

You can take my brother. You can take my best friend. You can take my dad. But you can't take away Batman.

He was once my grandfather, Bruce Wayne.

He was once my father, Damian Wayne.

And now, after fifteen years, he has found another.

He is now Drake Wayne.

I am Batman.
