Chapter Three: Interactions
June 12 2016
The time was five twenty eight p.m. It was raining heavily in Gotham as civilians were walking around while holding an umbrella as some cars were driving through the street. Multiple television screens showed yesterday's news along with the weather reports and more. There was a crowd of people walking around Grand Avenue as someone was looking around the city.
Anne was looking at the city until she got a text message from Natasha as she put her phone in her pocket and continued walking around until she made it to an alleyway as Winters heard someone calling her name as she turned around and saw who it was.
Natasha: Glad you made it. I was just waiting for the others to show up.
Anne: We should find a place to stay and continue our operations.
Natasha: [Smiles] I know just the place.
Anne was looking at her as she was about to say something until they heard someone calling their names as they turned around and saw who it was.
Anne: Glad your here Wanda.
Wanda: We should lay low. Being in the open is dangerous.
???: No kidding. Not to mention, it's getting cold too.
Sam: And to add one more point. We're still being hunted down by the government.
Anne: Don't worry, we have a safe house. We can stay there.
Wanda: That's good to hear.
Natasha: Wait a minute, where's Pietro?
???: Present.
Wanda: Where were you?
Pietro: Sorry, had to get a sandwich before coming here.
Anne: Well now that everyone is here. Let's head to the safehouse.
Sam: Quick question. Where's the safehouse?
Natasha: The safehouse is located in Founders Island.
The team nodded and began making their way towards founders island as multiple news channels were talking about the mercenaries that hijacked the cruise ship were arrested and the hostages were safe. The news channels also talked about Clayface along with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn's escape.
Eventually the team made it to Founders Island as they were walking towards the abandoned cityvisions building located near Ryker Heights. They entered the abandoned building and began looking around as the team were speaking to each other.
Anne: This looks like a good hideout.
Pietro: Your right about that.
Sam: I agree on that. Let's hope Batman doesn't show up.
Wanda: Why did you called Batman a demon back at the ship?
Sam: Back then, media used to call him a ghost, someone that doesn't exist until there were reports of a demon with wings beating the crap of criminals.
Natasha: An old story goes in Gotham, saying that a cult cursed this city and in the 1800s, people see dreams of a bat monster haunting them.
Pietro: Well that's creepy.
Anne: True but he's only targeting criminals and instill fear in the underworld.
Wanda: Not only that, he inspired a lot of people. Like Nightwing, he's been also fighting crime and keeping Blüdhaven safe.
Sam: Your right about that. Aside from all that, what's our next move?
Anne: We need to know more about T&T next move along with their hideout.
Pietro: Do you think they're still in Gotham?
Natasha: I have a feeling, they're still in Gotham.
Wanda: Then we have to intercept police broadcast and wait to see when T&T will strike.
Anne: Not only that, let's also help the police catch the remaining escaped inmates and villains.
Sam: Let's do that.
The team continued talking about T&T along with their next move and more about Gotham and Blüdhaven until the team asked Anne a question.
Pietro: Hey, how's Bucky doing?
Anne: He's fine. T'Challa said most of HYDRA'S programming is removed from his mind. It might take another few days or weeks to fully recover.
Wanda: That's good to hear. Atleast he's free from HYDRA'S control.
Natasha: Your right about that.
The team continued talking to each other as Anne was looking at her phone and saw a picture of Bucky as Winters continued staring at it and began having memories of the past.
Meanwhile in Blüdhaven, there was someone in a cafe, drinking coffee as he was looking at the television.
Benjamin was drinking some coffee as he was done and paid the bill as he left the cafe and began walking back home as he was looking at the news reports on his phone. Eventually Benjamin made it to his apartment as he entered his house and closed the door.
He sat down on the couch as he got his phone out and began calling Commissioner Harvey Bullock as he began speaking to him.
Harvey: Hello?
Benjamin: Hey commissioner! Remember me?
Harvey: Nightwing. What are you up too?
Benjamin: Just working on the T&T case along with the breakout yesterday. By the way, don't try tracing this call or searching for the identity.
Harvey: Buddy, we've been friends for three years. I trust you. Aside from that, the breakout was planned. Harley beat the crap of the SWAT team and officers before she stole the SWAT truck and broke Ivy out of her cell.
Benjamin: I know. One of your officers also told me, Harley was talking to someone on the radio.
Harvey: Yeah they also told me about that too. Do you think they left Blüdhaven?
Benjamin: Not sure. We had checkpoints and helicopters surveying the area. My two guesses. Either they escaped Blüdhaven and went to Gotham or they're still here waiting for things to cool down.
Harvey: As if we didn't have enough problems. Got any leads on T&T?
Benjamin: Not yet. I'll let you know if I find anything.
Harvey: Alright then. I have this feeling T&T is hiding in Gotham.
Benjamin: I also have that feeling too.
Harvey: Nonetheless I'll call you back later.
Benjamin nodded and disconnected the call as he got his laptop and began looking at the T&T case as he was thinking about it.
Meanwhile in Gotham, there was a manor as someone was walking around the manor talking to someone on the phone while looking at a case file.
Alex was speaking to his aunt on the phone as he was looking at a case file of T&T along with Clayface.
Alex: Yeah Martha, I'm doing alright and don't worry I'll be careful.
Martha: Joel told me your leg is hurting. We've been telling you for a month to rest up.
A year ago, Martha knew about Alex being Batman and though she was worried about him fighting crime. She was supportive and cared about him.
Alex: I know but this whole month has kept me busy.
Martha: I'm also worried about the government. They're starting to think you're becoming a problem here.
Alex: Don't worry about me. I'll be alright. How's Chloe?
Martha: She's alright. I just wish she talks to you.
Alex was silent as Martha heard his silence and spoke to him.
Martha: Alex, it's not your fault. You were just a kid. Don't keep blaming yourself.
Alex nodded as he was looking at the case file until he said something to her.
Alex: Sorry Martha, I have to go now. I'll talk to you later.
Martha nodded and said to Alex to take care of himself as she disconnected the call. Ambrose was looking at the case file until someone grabbed the file from Alex's hand.
Joel: Sorry kiddo. You need to rest up. Work comes later.
Alex: Joel, I'm-
Joel: Nope, not listening.
Ambrose sighed to himself as he was holding his injured lef and sat down on the couch as Joel spoke to him.
Joel: How's your leg doing?
Alex: Urgh. . . . Still hurts. I'll be fine don't worry about me.
Joel: Well looks like you'll be taking a few days off.
Alex: Joel, Clayface and T&T-
Joel: I know kiddo but knowing them, they'll lay low for sometime. In the meantime, just rest up and heal your body.
Alex sighed to himself and knew Joel was telling the truth and decided to rest up for the day. Joel and Alex were sitting by the couch as they were talking to each other as the rest of the day went peaceful for everyone.
