Chapter 5
Inside what looks like an enormous cave is a man with several strange objects surrounding him, is that a giant penny? A man wearing a black costume, but the costume looks more like armour than an actual costume, with the symbol of a bat on his chest, and the mask that would be covering his face on his side while he looks at something on his computer(imagine the batman costume from the games.)
He is currently looking at the recordings of an accident that had happened that night, a car had crushed against a wall, causing the death of the people inside, or he would have said that if a man hadn't appeared from nowhere and "saved" a man from the car, a quick scan told him that the man was Donny Devito, one of the trusted men under Mario Falcone, and was killed by the man in cold blood after torturing him.
It looked just like an accident caused by a meta who an enemy gang had assorted, most likely a new gang that hadn't heard about Gotham rules, it's usually not seen with a good eye from the other families if a gang uses a meta to fight someone, but something didn't sit right in Batman's mind.
The way he tortured and killed Donny seemed more like a personal grudge, if he had just killed him he would have done just that and left his body inside the car, but he didn't.
Following the movements of the car, he first discovered the stop they had done at the docks, where he saw an 18-year-old kid, named Jack Finch from the police records he had found, forced to kill someone, nothing new, he saw things like this done several times, people willingly selling themself to the gangs were starting to become less so they had to get people any way they could.
The next stop was the place from where they had gotten the kid, an abandoned building, after a quick search he discovered that Jack was an orphan after his father killed his mother and then himself, but before he did he had left the boy near the mother's body for a week, not giving him any food or water for the whole time, forcing the boy to drink the blood of the mother to survive.
Batman didn't show it, but one of his fists tightened in anger, he knew he couldn't be everywhere all at once, but he still felt like it was his job to save the boy, to save Jack from his current situation.
He searched if they had found Jack's body inside the car, but what he saw made his paranoia act once again, Jack's body was nowhere to be found.
He focused once again on the man who had killed Donny, and through a scan he discovered that the muscle structure of Jack and his were the same, but since he had his face covered he had no way of being sure, but this left no imagination to the mind, he was sure that Jack had killed the people inside the car.
' So he became a meta, maybe due to stress he discovered his powers, but there were no signs before today, or maybe he hasn't shown anyone his powers till now... I have to find him.'
Pressing a button, several calls all happened all at once.
" For whoever is currently patrolling Gotham City, I have found a new possible meta that killed 4 members of the Falcone family, he seemed able to teleport or at least go into a plane of existence where he can evade damage, if you found him capture him at all costs, do not fight him by yourself, I will be sending you his picture in few minutes." He ended the calls before he could receive an answer, pressing a few buttons that sent Jack's picture to every member of the bat family.
" He looks like a newbie when holding that gun but he didn't tremble even for a second, even when he used that knife on the office man he didn't flinch." A by wearing a flashy costume with red and green colours said after appearing from behind Batman.
" Damian be sure to not attack him by yourself if you were to find him, did I make myself clear?" Batman told the newest Robin while looking right into his eyes.
" Yeah, Yeah, what you want," Damian said while waving his hand and walking away.
Batman turns back to the screen, his eyes fixated on Jack's face while he kills the office man.
' I have to find him.'

Seeing the life of human beings being converted to XP and money dehumanized the perception I had of them, if I previously saw them as nothing more than humans worse than trash, now I just saw them as goblins, used only for XP and deserving nothing more than death.
It had been three hours since that moment, and I still was inside the mirror Dungeon, inside my emergency house, wary that someone could be waiting for me, but my mind currently was on something way more important than that.

In just a day I had made 1200$... how much would I make if I destroyed the whole of Gotham? Killing Bruce Wayne would give me more than enough money to last for the rest of my life.
Pulling myself away from that thought, I bring myself back to the present, I am still weak, very fucking much so, I need to train or at least level up and become stronger, stronger than those fuckers.
So that I can get my revenge.
