chapter 43
I woke up the next morning at five, I made breakfast for Elysia and Atlis before moving over to my clothes to find items to wear. I eventually found one piece(1) and put it on. Just as I did Damian sent me a text telling me he was waiting for me.
On the way down I stop at Elysia's door and told her breakfast was up stairs and I was leaving her the Den for the day. Lucky for me she is reasonable enough and won't be doing anything stupid. I finally met Damian down stairs and to my shock he's dressed in uniform.
"What's all this about?" I ask not wanting him to get me involved in anything that I wouldn't be able to handle. "Nothing you should worry about Anubis.", He smirks. I didn't say anything as he led Rand and I out to the street where the bat mobile was.
"Did Bruce let you take this or did you steal it?" I ask, Damian just sent me a smirk as he helps me in. Rand climbs into my lap and as soon as Damian got in the top closes. Damian then proceeded to drive off shattering the speed limit.
However we made it to the Batcave in one piece so I couldn't really complain. When we got there I got even more nervous as I see Jason and the rest of the family waiting on us. "Should I be worried?" I ask them already feeling like I should.
Jason gave me a reassuring look that calmed me down a bit. However it only increased ten fold as a Green man floated into the room. My eyes widen and Rand instantly started to snarl at the man.
"Who the Hell is this?" I snap, Damian held his hands up to calm me down but I only glare at him. "Anubis I want you to meet Martinman Hunter." Jason spoke calmly. "That name doesn't calm my nerves." I snap at him.
Jason let out a sigh, "He's here on a favor from us. We want him to do something that may help us and you." Bruce explains. I notice all of them are dressed in their costumes and I can only assume this is business.
I took a deep breath. Fine, if they want to play it professional, I can play professional. "And why would this help me? As far as I'm concerned I don't need help of any kind." I spoke coolly. Bruce stepped up to the plate I was throwing at him as he stands in a more dominate posture.
"He can alter memories, He can alter as many as a whole city." He spoke simply, "And why should I care about memory alterations?" I scoff. "We want you to work with us." Bruce finally spilled.
"No." I spoke harshly, "I'm not working with you people, I don't want to sit at the big table where my entire life could be made or destroyed in a hour. Its a big risk, one I'm not willing to make." I scoff.
"I'm not asking you to work out in the field I want you behind the scenes or on the inside." Bruce clarified. "No." I repeat, "I don't work behind the scenes when I could be doing better things and putting me on the inside causes me more risk than working with you out in the field." I rebutted.
Bruce glares at me, "work with the police then." He suggested. I laughed at him, I -laughed- at Batman. "Who the hell do you think your talking to? I don't work with police, not after what they've done to me." I continue to laugh.
Jason finally stepped in, "What if I asked you to reform the Gotham police. Dig up dirty police, preform some interrogations for us, maybe do a bit of street jobs police can't." Jason suggested. I look over at him, It didn't sound so bad. But it only sounds good, doing it would be a completely different story.
"Do you realize how much work I would have to put into that, not only that. If I was to go in and do that as quickly and efficiently as possible I would be breaking a lot of laws. And you people-" I gesture to the group around me "Are all about following the law." I scoff.
"I'm sure we can work something out. Besides, when have I ever cared about the law?" Jason smirks. I roll my eyes at him. "And the commissioner? Would I be under his authority or my own?" I ask looking over at batman.
"You would be working together and make joint decisions." Batman answered. I hum thinking of the possibilities. "And what does all this have to do with altering memories?" I ask glancing over at the alien in the room.
"If your going to work with us you need a mask. When we asked you to put one on you refused. You told me you wouldn't want to loose your reputation you built for yourself and I understand that. So Martinman hunter will alter everyone's memories to replace your face with a masked one. They will still remember the dangerous chaotic woman but not her face. all they will remember is just a mask." Damian spoke up.
My eyes widen and I look over at the alien "You can do that?" I ask and he only nodded. I bit my lip and thought hard. "What about the people I don't want that to happen to. There are people out there I want to remember my face." I spoke softly.
"don't worry about that, I informed him of people he shouldn't tamper with." Damian spoke again. I nodded my head but continue to think about what I have been offered. "what's all in this for me?" I ask.
"All I'm hearing is things I could do to help you. What am I getting out of all this trouble?" I ask spitefully. "All your assets and permits will be legally acknowledged as yours. You will legal be able to restart your den as well as perform illegal activities with leniency and pardons from the law." Jason spoke. My eyes widen, holy shit.
I glance around the room with a slight smirk. "when can we start?"
