Hey people mad the choice in making a prequel to the Death of Batman.

Next chap will be up soon and the other story will continue shortly

Chapter 1

Never Forgotten

Bruce could feel as he hit the blast of Toymans weapon hitting him as he saw everything disappear in front of him in a hazy of green. Pain seemed to be engulfing him as slowly as everything went front sight and there was nothing but blackness.

Some time later...

Batman slow started to wake as he felt someone shaking him and speaking to him "Hey. Hey wake up." Batman opened his eyes and saw a young boy with a man standing over him.

The boy and man were dressed in tatted denim and t-shirts. "Come on Batman no time to wait" and the man picked him up and draped Batman arm over his neck and began to carry him into an ally.

Still disorientated Batman could barely speak "Where...Cough...am I?"

"Not time got to get you hidden from them" the man replied as the boy ran ahead and pushed a brick into the wall opening a secret passage.

"Come on dad we need to move"

As the man carried Batman into the secret passage Batman he hit a small switch on the ground an the passage closed.

Few moments later...

The man placed Batman onto a chair and checked him over for injuries.

"Nothing seems to be broken" the man said as he finished examine Bruce

Bruce looked about and knew the place that they were. It was one of his auxiliary batcaves he had in all of the major cities over the world but it had decayed and most of the tech was either gone or destroyed and scattered into pieces over the entire cave.

The man walked away and went to his son and rubbed his head as he was sitting in a chair playing with some makeshift toys.

"You Batmen are always getting into trouble." The man said with humour in his voice "I'm surprised any of you are left"

Bruce's ears pricked up as he heard Batmen "What do you mean Batmen?" As the man turned Batman was right behind him

The man jumped "Your good haven't seen any of you do that before"

"That was cool" The boy shouted

"Where am I?"

"You must have hit you head hard. You're in Metropolis"

"Where is the League?"

"League? O you must mean the resistance" The man stated

"What do you mean resistance?"

"Yea the resistance against the Thanagrian occupation"

"When do you mean Thanagrian occupation?"

"What rock have you been living under? The Thanagrians have occupied Earth for over 60 years now" The man was confused at him asking that question

Bruce turned a walked over to a pile of tech that was lying on the floor and began to look through for anything useful.

"Wouldn't bother" the man said as he walked over to a pot and began to stir the contents "All of this tech is beyond repair" he picked up a bowl and scoped up some of the bowls content out of the put and placed it onto a makeshift tray.

"What's you na..." The man stopped as he turned to see that Batman was gone.

Metropolis rooftops (Night)...

The building had not changed much from what Bruce could tell from his position. He knew that the man was not lying about what he said. He was 60 years in the future. Bruce had always had a plan for everything not matter how unlikely it was for the events to happen.

Bruce tried to use his com but was getting nothing but static he had guessed that most of the League was wither dead or captured by the Thanagrians.

I'll have to try and get back to Gotham and see if the Batcave is still functional Bruce thought to him self.

"Stop" Bruce turned to the voice and saw that it was a patrol of three Thanagrians stopping a group of 6 people on the streets.

Bruce moved closer to the group to hear what was being said.

"Why are you out passed curfew?" the Thanagrian demanding to know

Each member of the group glanced at each other nervously fear present in the air around them.

"Umm..." fear present in the female voice

"You know the order as do they" joyful tone in the Thanagrian voice "Let just have some fun with them" a sickening grin crawled onto his face as he eyed the female member of the group.

"Why not I've had a long night"

Batman could not let this happen and he jumped down in-between the two groups his cape covering him as he landed

The Thanagrians jumped as Batman landed in front of them "Not another one of these dicks" a man behind Batman said.

"Look just go we can handle ourselves"

The Thanagrians burst out into laughter at the sight of Batman "Oh no it's the Batman hahaha."

The dark knight stood unfazed by the surprising reaction to his entrance and stood his ground.

One of the Thanagrians drew his weapon and tapped it on his hand repeatedly as he walk towards Batman "This is going be fun" he stated as he swung his weapon.

As the weapon got closer to Batman he dodged it and as the soldier was unbalanced Batman kick his inner thigh causing him to fall backwards and as he did Bruce brought his leg around and used his heal and hit him in the chest and pushing him to the ground causing the air to evacuate the Thanagrians body and crushing his wings with his own weight causing him to pass out.

"What the fuck?" the group of people said

The other Thanagrians waste no time to begin the attack on Batman and with the same ease as the other one Batman dodged their attack and counterattacked.

"Stop moving" One of the shouted as he failed again to hit Batman

Batman lured the other soldier into attacking him and as he did Batman dodged and caused him to hit fellow knocking him to the ground.

"Shit"

Batmen stood where he had landed earlier and could see the fear in the last standing Thanagrians eyes. "Stay away from me" he shouted as he began to take off and fly away.

Bruce turned to group of people and saw teenager's 4 male and 2 female some looking barley 16.

"Go home before more come"

"You idiot" The woman shouted at him "We wanted to take them all" as she pushed him out of the way and pulled out a device and clamped it on to each one of the Thanagrians wing's and tied their hands and feet.

"We better hurry before they com back" as each member of the group picked up the two soldiers and carried them into the ally.

"What about him?" one of the group asked the woman as he looking at batman

"Come on then hurry up you before more come"

Bruce knew that he had little choice and followed them in hopes to find out more about what had happened in the last 60 years and then he could maybe find a way to get to the Batcave without having to fight the entire Thanagrian army.

As Bruce walked behind the group carrying the unconscious Thanagrians he could not help but wonder who these people were. Looking at them he could see that they all had suffered minor and major injuries from the some fresh some old.

One of the men carrying the soldier put more weight on his left leg than the other showing that he had suffered a major break but also the way he carried him self showed that he was a military man bold and confidant.

The woman had walked ahead to a door and knocked on it and then a small slit in the door opened and she spoke into it and thee door opened and they carried the Thanagrians in and Bruce followed in as the door slammed shut and the sound of several locks on the door being secured.

Few hours later...

"You ever seen one of the Batmen fight like that?" the youngest member of the group asked

"Never. That was some kung fu shit" one replied as he looked over at the Batman fiddling with some tech he had pulled out after they arrived at the outpost

"Most of them couldn't even beat us let alone 3 Thanagrians single handed"

"another topic" the other woman of the group said "What you think she'll get out of them this time?"

"The wing nuts? Not much they are just soldiers on patrol"

"You'd be surprised what you can get from just a soldier" The group jumped as Batman appeared behind them

"What the...How did you do that?" the youngest asked

"Impressive" The woman stated with a grin on her face

"You one of the best Batmen I've ever seen" the man said "Most of the other one's couldn't sneak up on a deaf man"

"I'm assuming you are the resistance I've heard about" Batman said "I was told you could help me"

"And what make's you think were the resistance?" the Woman stated glaring at him

Batman turned his back and slowly walked over to one of the wall's and knocked on it twice.

"For one thing at least 2 of you have a military background, and I assume the Thanagrians would have made it illegal for humans to be in the military."

"How did you know that?" the man asked

"Also" and with a quick turn a baterang flew through the air aimed at the woman sitting down and with a quick movement she claps her hand together catching the baterang between her hands.

The man stood up and pulled out a revolver and pointed it at Batman "Why the fuck did you do that?"

"Only one type of human could catch that. Amazonian"

"Put your gun down Jack" The second Woman said as she approached the group. As she approached the other woman she put her hand out and the woman put the Baterang and started to examine it.

"Great craftsmen ship" The woman said seductively as she approached the dark knight "I've only seen one other like it in the world and our leader has it. It was made by the original Batman. Where did you get this?" She demanded to know as the threw it to his feet.

Batman stood his ground.

Beep Beep

"Team 3 here" she responded

"Understood" She turned back to the group "New orders. Back to HQ on the double"

"What about the prisoners?" Jack asked

"Got what I needed from them"

"And him" The Amazon asked

"Exit's that way" and with that the set of in the other direction.

Team 3 arrived at the HQ...

"What did you find out?" Shayera asked Team 3

"Nothing new just the that they will be stepping up patrols in all major city's within the next week or 2 in preparation for his arrival" the Amazon replied

"Anything else?"

"Well there was the Batman" Jack said

"Another one" Shayera said in annoyance "The destroy what he stood for"

"Expect this one was good he's the closest I've seen anyone get to him"

Shayera's interest was peaked at the sound of this news. Then a sound from above caught her attention "Were you followed?"

"No we covered our track just like we were trained" The leader of the Team stated

"Not well enough" Shayera swung her mace at the voice behind her and with a quick dodge and sweep she was on the ground and her mace out of her hand's

She looked up and saw Batman standing over her "How did you find use you find use copycat?"

"Your team need to over their tracks better"

Batman extended his hand to help her up and she swatted it out the way as she stood back up ready to fight.

Then she looks closer at him and could see that his outfit was dead on what she saw her friend were on their last fight. Not only that but no one could have followed her teams or even find this base without knowing were it is. Then she came to his eyes. The may have been covered but she could see that this may not be some one pretending to be her friend. But she had to be sure

"Intruder" she shouted and within second Batman was surrounded by a dozen people all trained by herself

As one went for an attack a cloud of smoke engulfed the area.

As the cloud dissipated in was clear that her soldiers had all but defeated and Batman was no where to be seen.

"Where did he go?" Jack shouted as he looked around trying to see where he'd gone.

Shayera smirked as she waited for what she knew was to come next if it was really her friend back from the dead.

"Did I pass your test?" Batman voice coming from behind her

"Yes you did" and she turned and embraced him in a hug

As she let go of him she punched him on the shoulder "Where have u been all this time?"

"You tell me. The last thing I remember is being hit with Weather Wizards lighting then everything went green" Batman explained

"Follow me I'll tell you what you've missed old friend"
