Chapter 51: you’re… you’re… Jeffery King is the Batman

*Big thanks to Charlie Puente-Duany for your support*

 

"This place is awesome!" Gwen exclaimed as she looked around at the batcave. After her conversation with the Batman he had brought her in the Batmobile through a secret tunnel into the Batcave.

Gwen moved around looking at Batman's training equipment before her eyes turned to a  the suits which were lined up.

Jeff was Batman after all and had a copy of each suit he made but after he improved upon them he kept them down here.

Gwen traced her fingers along his first bat suit, before moving on to the others in awe of them.

Something sparkled, in the corner drawing her attention but before she could get close Batman cut her off. "So... do I get a suit?"

"This is where you will be training I expect to see you here everyday at 4pm." Batman ignored a question and began speaking in a strange tone which was both calm and authoritative.

He began walking to his combat training room with Gwen following after but then she stopped and asked a question which caused Batman to come to a halt.

"why did you say Justice? when you came up to me you said you could help me get Justice, not do good or get closure but get Justice. Why is that? The green goblin is dead right so what did you mean by that?"

Gwen asked the questions that had been on her mind on the way here. Bats came to a halt before turning to face her.

All was silent for a minute or two before he spoke up, "there were people behind Norman".

Those words were like a bomb in Gwen's ears, her eyes widened and stood still with her mouth open unable to utter any words for a few seconds.

"what... what do you mean, when you say there were people behind Norman?" Gwen asked as she clenched her fist struggling to keep her voice calm and even.

"They are known as the court, Norman was a member." Batman's words caused her to take a step back as her eyes widened, before she rushed at him and held on to him.

"Then why are you just standing here why aren't you going after them?!" Gwen looked right at him her eyes betraying her emotions.

"The people involved aren't easy to go after it takes time to take them out for good-" Gwen cut him off, "No! no, you don't give me that. Isn't that why you do this so you can do what the police can't, if you can't do this, then, then what even is the point."

Gwen turned to leave after she was done but Batman held on to her hand tightly preventing her from leaving. "I will take them out but I want to do it in a way that leaves no remnants who can rise up and do what they did to your father to anyone else, because trust me I understand your pain more than you know."

Gwen scoffed before yanking her hand free, "yeah right, how do you expect me to trust a man whose face I have never seen before?"

Batman remained silent for a moment before he spoke up, "you're right." Gwen stood dumbfounded as she expected lots of words but not those two words.

Gwen parted her lips to speak but a shocking sight was happening right before her. Batman's mask had turned to some sort of viscous material and was retreating from his head revealing the identity of the man underneath which cause her parted lips to open wide enough to swallow an egg whole.

"you're... you're... Jeffery King is the Batman".

At Eve's club;

"Hello Eve", Chris had appeared in Eve's club and made his way to her. "Chris, and here I thought you would be busy with your Bat hunt."

"Oh I am, I have somethings in the works but I thought with your help things would go smoothly", Eve rose a brow hearing his words.

"What help could I possibly offer you?" Eve questioned him. "I just wanted to know, who is the Batman?"

Eve took a swing of her glass before looking him dead in the eye, "I'm sorry to disappoint but I have no idea".

Hearing her answer, Chris stared her down both remaining in silence for a whole minute. "A shame, oh well on to the other reason as to why I'm here I need you to convince Sebastian to join us once more."

"The boss is retired, I don't think he's coming back" Eve spoke up. "please Eve, you and I both know your relationship with him was more than just professional."

Eve stood moving away leaving her final words, "he is retired, I have things to do Chris I trust you know the way out."
