Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Batman, enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Batman, Dc Comics does.

Anyone who knew the GCPD was corrupt starting out, people wanted to believe in the police, just like many cities did.

But a lot of people on Christmas knew the city was a cesspit run from the shadows by criminals who danced it around like strings attached to a puppet.

Still, the children of these corrupt officers? they were innocent, untouched by the plague of undercut deals, secret crimes in the dark, and other such depravities.

This was why Benjamin 'Ben' Carson and Barbara Gordon sat alone in one of the rooms, talking.

"And I'm telling you this will all be obsolete in a few years, Barbs, technology is ALWAYS growing. It won't be long till the goggles and such will be going into the garbage whether people like it. " Ben stated before he turned and looked at the ceiling with annoyance.

He hummed before Barbara cut him off with annoyance in her voice… more with teasing and looking to the side and cracked a smile.

"Yeah, but it won't be for a few years at best, you know that, right? you used to wear those goggles for a joke a while ago and joked about it to me." Barbara was greeted by a facepalming teen who rocked back and forth on the balls of his heels.

"Well, you got me there… but I still think things will be outdated… look at Batman." Ben stated, pointing a finger at a picture of the hero in question.

If there was something the often snarking friends had in common? It was both believing in Batman despite the others thinking otherwise.

The fact that the cops were speaking about the vigilante just proved he existed to them.

It did indeed make it amusing that Barbara wanted to be a cop at first… though to be fair, their parents were cops.

Ben hated how the police were pretty much a private army for Black Mask, the monster who ruled Gotham… He knew that a few good cops weren't on the take, but the majority of them were loyal only to the mobster then their badge.

"Yeah, he's pretty cool, I wonder if… did you hear something?" Barbara started to say before Ben rolled his eyes at her with annoyance.

"Ha, ha, very funny, barbs." Ben then heard a few footsteps; it didn't sound like any of the swat officers in question that stalked the station.

And it was coming from the server room, the least visited room in the entire house. He hummed and moved to the corner of the room with Barbara.

The duo of teens turned to look at each other and fought back the urge to gasp in shock at each other and blinked.

Within the room was Batman, THE BATMAN. Barbara and Ben couldn't believe their own eyes, neither willing to speak, since it would alert the room to them.

Then again, they hadn't expected to see a vigilante clad in armor dressed like a bat, standing in front of them… on Christmas eve.

It was official Gotham was now the weirdest city he had lived in… born in, whatever sounded more easier to comprehend.

Ben was so caught up in his stupor, he didn't notice that his friend wasn't across from him and cursed silently noticing Barbara had entered the server room.

'Yes, go and talk to the giant mountain of a vigilante who Ben heard KNOCKED KILLER CROC as he heard the man was nicknamed, unconscious, Barbs. I'm sure that wont end badly considering how bad things were at the prison before the man stepped in.

Ben didn't want to know the amount of crazy that had to be in Barbara's head before she decided to just head in and possibly…

Wait, he never fought Gordon, who was a cop, even though he had bulletproofed…

Ben was an idiot, and he slapped himself as he walked inside, knowing very well that a. Barbara would have already mentioned him.

b. he didn't really care anymore considering if something bad happened? It happened.

And c.? everyone and their mother wanted to meet Batman.

Ben leaned on the wall to listen to the conversation.

He and Barbara were totally unaware of the fact the police were planning on storming the room.
