Experiments and leave

"JIN!!!" Mother called, her voice hoarse from stress.

"MA!!" Jin shouted, with tears and relief that she was ok. He didn't want to lose his new mother. He had grown attached to the woman as well as the kids here.

However, Karen had realized that Jin appeared dirty and shirtless... but seeing him safe. She left the questions behind for another, relishing the moment.

After hugging each other, the other kids ran towards jin and mother, with all hugging each other.

Breaking from the hug, Jin asked, " Ma, did you call the police? ".

She responded. " Of course sweety! As soon as I could too ". Hugging him and the others tighter.

Jin could relax at the moment... but one thing was for sure to him... he knew couldn't stay here anymore. Now that the others were all awake, and the men were still alive, and knowing bane's personality, he would be out for revenge, but killing him out there would be too convenient... No person near Gotham would challenge Bane's power. Other than Batman.

Any decent detective could tell that his situation was iffy... and no one would be fast enough to do something like resolving this situation like this, even if they were a hero...

So that would dwindle the suspect to be within the orphanage, though. It would be highly unlikely they would pin it to a child, but something/someone close by the area... however, Jin knew he couldn't remain here forever, and he had to find a way to move the others from this location.

Which meant that he had to find a different place to build or rent an orphanage for the future, and stay there, even further from where they resided.

----------------------------------------------------------

After a day of questions and such, the authorities chalked it up to be some sort of vigilante that was luckily in the area. They had no other explanation concerning how the men were defeated.

They also took in the fodders and bane that were still knocked out. I assumed I did some permanent damage, and bane... he-he had it rough, no talking normally from now on for him...

On that Note, everyone was slowly getting back to normal, and Cindy, whose head was injured by Bane, received medical treatment, which was slight skull fracture, it didn't affect the brain thankfully, however this meant she was going to need to time to fully recover from everything, which is in about 2 months from now. Poor thing...

After that, we were doing ok otherwise; the repairs were going to get paid for and everything was going back to normal. But this was DC, and things didn't go well for too long.

Mother after this incident... was shaken up, not for herself, but for the kids. It is obvious why. Those men would likely be out for revenge, and she didn't have the tools necessary to protect everyone.

And as a formal adult, I understood where she was coming from.

So, throughout the week, Ma decided to make arrangements with multiple families that wanted some of the children. She held off because she was growing attached to them, but after this whole dilemma, she needed to cut ties, doing it out of love for the kids.

----------------------------------------------------------

With that said, Months went by, and all the others left, leaving me by myself with mother.

I hated this sort of thing... but it was necessary. Mother, although devastated, smiled and kept strong for me...

"Jin... today is the day we say goodbye to each other..."

"..."

"I know... Ma..."

"I got in touch with someone who would help you in ways I couldn't... Jin. I also know that you aren't a normal child, not after everything you've made me seen..."

Listening carefully, I kept a poker face, acting confused as to what she was saying.

Closing her eyes, she had a warm smile grace her face.

"I'm not that much of a fool, young man... I know what you do when you 'venture' out in the forest. Although I have not seen it personally, I can know that some trees didn't meet a pleasant fate with you. After all, which mother would let a 5-year-old go out in the forest alone!?"

Hearing this... I froze, not knowing that she deduced that it was me, but it made sense. She was the type. I can only blame myself for being so clumsy... Underestimating her gentle nature and thinking it was airheaded too...

"You... are an extremely gifted boy, Jin, and to see someone with your level of intellect and raw potential go to waste, would hurt me... dearly, even if you are... different"

"'He' must be here..." Mother said, with a saddened voice.

Leaving me standing with confusion, she went to the door, opening it, revealing the person.

He stood roughly 6,3 inches tall. Dark hair, a relatively handsome face. His clothes were large, trying to hide his athletic frame, but it barely did so. His eyes were also a slightly piercing blue, shining with intellect.

'Is this who I thought it was...?'

"Good morning... Mr. Wayne"

.

.

.

It was exactly who I thought it was, the dark-knight himself, THE caped crusader. Batman, Bruce Wayne and the multi-billionaire...

'He was adopting me!? Calm yourself, Marcus. This is good. I now have access to a lot through him being here...'

'Still, knowing him, he most likely read through the files containing Bane's appearance here and found it odd. It would only make sense since this is still a part of Gotham, just far away enough from the local violence and rift-raft... He must have thought this case was interesting... And far too convenient... and me, I was just the icing on the cake...'

*+1 INT for piecing the puzzle together*

Looking behind Ma, Bruce shot a look at me inquisitively, smirking too.

"This must be him, Jin Strife. Is that correct?" Bruce said.

"Yes, sir..." I responded meekly...

"Well, Jin. He is the one that is going to adopt you. I will speak with him for the time being... you can pack your things while we are sorting this out." Mother said.

"...Yes mother..."

-------------------------------------------------------------

Packing my things. I was finished with everything. I saw mother there, waiting with mister Wayne...

"Jin... remember that. I will always have you in my heart, with you and your siblings." Mother said, kissing me on my forehead.

"Goodbye Jin..."

"Goodbye Ma..."

Seeing this, Bruce smiled inwardly, not wanting to ruin the moment between them...

After both were done hugging each other, Jin left the orphanage with Bruce, with both getting into Bruce's vehicle...

Starting the engine, Bruce reversed, then drove out onto the main road heading into Gotham...

Both now were in the vehicle silent, with Bruce's Eyes fixed onto the road dawning a pleasant smile...

"So... Jin, tell me about yourself?"
