"I heard that you lead Wayne Enterprises Science division, and was in need of some things." Said Bruce as he sat down in a chair.

"What type of things are you looking for. A cure for the next pandemic, a high powered batter, or maybe something with a little more kick?" Asked Lucius as he stared up at Bruce.

"I was thinking of something with a little more kick, like a bullet proof suit and some gear." Said Bruce as Lucius gave a slight laugh.

"Well then let me show you what we have down stairs." Said Lucius as he pulled a book out of the wall behind him and opened a hidden elevator. "This is just in case of a fire."

"Of course it is." Said Bruce as he took the elevator down with Lucius.

The elevator door opened into a large white room full of metal crates, vehicles, targets for guns, and even some devices that where unknown to Bruce. Lucius took him over to a metal role out cabinet and showed Bruce what he had in store.

"This is a five grand body armor suit immune to bullets, knifes, and tears." Said Lucius as he looked at Bruce. "What do you need all of this stuff for Mr. Wayne?" Asked Lucius as Bruce came up with a quick lie.

"I am going skydiving next week and was wanting something a little more protective." Said Bruce with a slight smile.

"Will there be people shooting at you during this skydiving trip?" Asked Lucius as he smiled and closed the cabinet. "I will have all of the items you need delivered to your house." Said Lucius as Bruce gave out his hand for a hand shake.

"Thank you Mr. Fox." Said Bruce as Lucius gave him a hand shake and Bruce left the room.

Bruce headed back up to the building and left he hopped into his car and took a drive back home. The inside of Gotham was much nicer than the outside how could this have happened. Bruce's father had died buy a mugger when he was only ten years old, he had told him to protect all of that he loved that included Gotham.

"You think your tough with your mask and led pipe I will show you how is tough." Said a thug as Bruce slowed down to see a young adult getting crowded by a group of thugs.

Bruce stopped his car and walked on over to the few thugs. He walked up behind then and stood there taunting the thugs.

"Bruce Wayne? What the he..." Said the thug as Bruce grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back.

"Are you hurting this kid?" Asked Bruce as he tightened his grip pulling his arm back further.

"No no of course not." Said the thug as he struggled in pain.

"Then beat it." Said Bruce as he threw the man to the ground.

He got up fast and pulled out a small knife.

"How about we slice you into tiny pieces and then we do the same to the kid. How dose that sound?" Said the thug as the two of his friends pull out knifes as well.

Bruce stood his ground and had them attack first the first man he grabbed his hand before he could attack him and turned his hand around stabbing the thug in the back with his own knife. The next one he tripped to the ground and punched his head knocking him out cold. The last thug looked scared and yet still he ran to attack him Bruce dogged his attack and shoved him up against a brick wall smashing his head into it knocking him out as well.

"Thank you." Said the kid as he looked to see no one there and a car speeding off. "Dang that's smooth."

Bruce drove the rest of the way home till he noticed that his side was bleeding. A small knife wound must have gotten cut during the fight. Bruce walked inside of Wayne Manor and fell onto the stairs.

"Master Wayne?" Asked Alfred as he came over to him. "What happened sir?" He asked as he helped Bruce up off of the floor.

"Street thugs just wanted to help the kid they were going to hurt. Ended up knocking them out but they cut me a little." Said Bruce as he lifted up his shirt and showed Alfred the cut. "Is it bad?"

"No sir, a small cut not to deep." Said Alfred as he took him to the hospital wing. "You should have rest I will tack of you don't worry."

"Thank you Alfred, thank you." Said Bruce as he dosed off.

Thank you for reading. :)
