The Incredibles: Dark Knights
Chapter 01: Metroville, USA
The Sun Shined Brightly Over The Pristine City Of Metroville.
It Was An Ideal Metropolian Society During The Day...Which Hid It`s Nightly Corruption.
Morning Soon Came To The Suburbian Home Of The Parr Family AKA The Incredibles.
Helen Parr Was First Awake (She Was Up Since 6:00AM) ANd Had Just Finished Making Breakfast.
"KIDS!, BREAKFAST!" Yelled Helen Parr.
As Usual, Dash Was The First One In The Kitchen...Always On The Move.
Bob Parr Was a Second...And For Some Reason, Violet Was Dead Last.
As The Family Sat At the Table For Breakfast...Helen Noticed Violet Was Distant This Morning.
Violet Was Moving Food With her Fork, Apparently Lost In her Own Thoughts.
"So, I hear "Somebody" Is Trying Out For Baseball" Said Bob To Dash
"YOU BET!
I AM Totally Gonna SMOKE The Competition!" Shouted Dash
"Easy There, Young Man...Remember The rules-"
Dash Sighed At His Mother`s Scolding.
"I Know, I Know: "Don`t Use Any Powers..."
"Good."
Violet Sighed.
Her Mind Obviously Elsewhere.
Helen Looked At her Daughter.
"Vi...You Alright, Sweety?" Asked Helen
"i guess..." Muttered Violet
Helen Didn`t Buy It.
"Violet...If Something is Bothering, Tell Me.
I Thought You Were Going To be More "Open" With Your Feelings."
Violet Sighed Sharply.
"Just having Problems At School, That`s All..."
"What Problems?"
Before Violet Could Answer, Dash Spoke.
"Tony Dumped Her. Said Dash With a Smile
Violet Glared At her Brother.
"HE DIDN`T DUMP ME YOU FREAK! SHouted Violet
"Vi...What Did I Say About The "F-Word".
Violet SIghed WitHJ Aggravation.
"sorry, dad..."
"He Still Dumped You. Said Dash
Violet Glared At Dash With "Looks That Could Kill".
"For The Last Time: "HE DIDN`T DUMP ME!"
We Just dated For a Few Weeks And We Decided To Just Be Friends, THAT`S ALL!
"Right...
And The Fact That Tony And Your Friend Kari Like Each Other Has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT."
Violet`s Eyes Widened.
"How Did You Know Tha-
Suddenly, Realisation Kicked In.
"HAVE YOU BEEN IN MY DIARY, AGAIN!" Shouted Violet
"Depends...Why Do You Dot Your "I"`s With Little Hearts?"
Violet Growled Through Her teeth.
Helen Gave Dash a Glare, Shutting Him Up She Then Leaned Closer To Her Daughter.
"Sweetie, Relax...It`s Okay."
Violet Turned Her Head.
Helen Exhaled Deeply.
"Vi, Look...Let Me Tell You Something Very Important.
When I Was Young, I Did ALOT Of dating In My Time...
Some I Broke Off, Others Where I Was Broke Off.
Helen SIghed As She Recounted Her "Teen Years"
"But, Here Is The Thing.
Crushes Come And Go...But TRUE LOVE Is Forever.
Violet Looked At Her Mother.
"Look, If You Be Patient And Wait Then, Someday...The RIGHT MAN For you Will Come...And You Will NEVER REGRET IT.
Helen Smiled As She Looked At Bob.
"I Got Lucky With You father...And, I Wouldn`t Trade Him For All The Men In the World.
Bob Smiled At this Remark.
Violet Sighed, Realising Her Mother Was Right.
"I Know...
Funny thing Is I`m Not really Mad At Tony And Kari.
When They Told Me The Truth, I Saw The Looks In they`re Eyes...They Were So Much In Love.
Kari Is My Friend And I Like Tony...So, If Their Happy Together...Then, That`s Good Enough For Me."
Helen Smiled.
"There You go..."
"But, I Wish I had Someone..."
"Just be Patient, The Right Person Will Come."
"BUT, HOW WILL I KNOW!" Exclaimed Violet
"How WIll I Know That the Next Cute Face I See Will be My TRUE LOVE...Or, Just Another Crush."
Helen SMiled Warmly.
"Trust Me, Vi...
When The Right Person Come...You`ll Know."
Violet Thought About This And Breathed Heavily.
"I Hope So...
Dash Just Looked At This With His Eyes Narrowed.
"BLECH!
The School Bus Soon Came...
Violet And Dash Grabbed They`re Backpacks And Ran Out.
Bob Also Left To Go To Work (Thanks To The NSA, He Got His Job Back At Insuricare)
"Bye, Honey..."
Bob Kisses His Wife.
"See You, Soon..." Said Helen
Bob Left In His Car And Helen Went Back To House Work.
[Later, The Following Night]
Darkness Fell Over The City Of Metroville.
Most Sensible People Stayed Indoors At This Time...And, For Good Reasons.
The Streets Of Metroville Was Infested With Crime Of All Kinds...
You Couldn`t EVen Walk Down The Street Without Being Mugged.
Somewhere In The City...a Gang Of Criminals Were Making a Deal AT An Old Warehouse.
The Leader Of One Gang Placed a Briefcase Full Of Money Down.
"Okay, Here`s The Cash.
Now...Show Me The Stuff."
The Leader Of Another Gang Took Out a Bag.
He Reached In And Took Out a Vial Of Green Liquid.
"100% Pure VENOM...Straight From The Source." Said Leader #2
"Source?
"Mr. Bane Was VERY Generous...Provided The Pay Was Good."
Leader #1 Took The Vial And Looked At It.
"This This Stuff, We Won`t Have To Worry ABout Supers Pestering Us...
Even MISTER INCREDIBLE Himself Will Be Powerless To STop Us Once This Stuff Is Mass Produced."
Leader #1 Smiles.
"Okay...You`ve Got Yourself a Sale."
Suddenly, a Projectile Hit the Lights...Shattering Them.
"HEY!"
"WHAT THE HEL-"
"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTS!"
One Criminal Stepped On Something.
He Picked It Up And Tried To Look At It In The Moonlight.
It Was a Metallic Boomerang...Shaped Like a Bat.
"oh, no..."
The Gangs Armed Themselves With Guns.
"it`s him... Said a criminal
"Who?
"the batman."
"BATMAN!
I Though He Was Just a Myth..."
"tell that to the falcone family."
As The Criminal Searched Through The Darkness...Fear Began To Consume Them.
a Dark Figure Watched Them From the Shadows, Silver SLip Shaped Eyes Gleaming In The Dark.
The Figure Leaped And Tackled a Gunman...Knocking Him Out.
Others Started Shooting...But, It Was SO Dark That They Couldn`t See Anything.
The Unseen Enemy Took Them Down One At a Time.
The Flash From They`re Gunfire Revealed What Looked Like a "Human Bat".
Soon, All The Criminals Were Down.
The Gang Leaders Saw a Pair Of SIlver Eyes Glarinf AT Them From the Darkness.
"USE THE VENOM! Yelled Leader #2
Leader #1 Reached For The Green Vial On teh Table...
But, a Batarang Struck The Vial...Destroying It And Spilling It`s Contents.
"NOOOOOOOO! Shouted Leader #1
The Figure Stepped Out Of The Darkness And Into the Moonlight...
he Was Revealed To be a Teenager...Now More Than Fifteen.
He Was Dressed In a Grey And Black Costume With a Black Bat Emblem On The Chest.
"batman..." Said Leader #1 In Terror
Batman Walked Towards Him.
"DO SOMETHING!" Yelled Leader #2
Leader #1 Ran For The Door And Left, Leaving Leader #2 Alone.
As Batman Approached Him, Leader #2 Reached For The Briefcase.
"Okay, Let`s Split The Cash: "60/40"?
Batman Threw a Batarang AT The Briefcase.
The Wing Stuck Into It Like a Blade...Then, Started To beep.
The Batarang Exploded...Reducing the Money To Ash.
"I`M OUTTA HERE!
Leader #2 Tried To Run...But, Batman Threw Bolas At Him Which Wrapped Around His Legs, Causing Him To Trip.
Batman Walked Over And Put Some Bat-Shaped Handcuffs On Him.
"bane`s poison will NEVER infect these streets...not while i`m here.
Meanwhile, Leader #1 Was Running Out The Warehouse And HEading Towards His Car.
Just As He Approached It...a Figure Swung From a Biulding And Kicked Him Down.
He Looked Up, And Saw a Teenage Girl Dressed In a Dark Blue And Grey Costume.
She Wore a Bat Emblem That Resembled a Yellow Oval With a Bat Image...Like a Target.
And, Her Eyes Were Silver Ovals.
"Not So fast, Smart Guy...I Didn`t Say You Could Leave, Yet." Said Batwoman
Leader #1 Snickered.
"Oh, Good...It`s Only a Woman.
For a Second I Thought You Were The Batman.
Batwoman Glared At Him, her Teeth Gritted Angrily.
"only...a...WOMAN!
Batwoman Punched Him In The Gut, Then Slugged Him In the Jaw.
And, With a Grin...She Sharply Kicked Him Between The Legs.
The Criminal Fell To His Knees And Lay On The Ground In Pain.
"It`s Lot Nice To Make Fun Of Ladies, Bub...
AT That Moment, Batman Swung Down...Carrying The Second Gang Leader.
He Looked At The Fist Gang Leader, Then Eyed His Partner.
"He Asked For It... Said Batwoman In Defence
Batman Threw Leader #2 Down.
"whatever...
Batman Took Out a Flare Gun And Fired It In the Air.
a Bat-Shaped Flash Was Seen In The Sky.
"That Should Bring The Police Soon Enough...Let`s Get Out Of Here.
"sure Thing, Bro.
Batman Eyed Batwoman.
"Sorry...I Meant: "Partner"
Batwoman Walked Towards The Batmobile.
"Aren`t You Going To Cuff The Other Guy?
Batwoman Chuckled.
"Don`t Worry...He`s Not Gonna Move From That Spot For a LONG TIME."
Batman Sighed As He Walked Towards The Batmobile.
Both "Bats" Got In And Drove Off At High Speed.
"Let`s See...Counting The "Bane Juice" Trade We Just Busted.
This Makes: Five Muggings, Three Bank Robberies And Four Drug Deals We Just Brought down"
"and still no sign of the joker..." Said Batman
Batwoman Sighed Sharply.
"Look...We`re Doing All We Can, Batman.
We Already Know That Joker And Harley Have Relocated Here In Metroville."
"Which Is Why We Left Municiburg." Stated Batman
"Exactly...
The Only Clue We Have Was That One Bank robbery In The News."
Batman Nodded, Obviously Brooding.
"Fifty Thousand Dollars Stolen...The Entire Security Dead With Grins On They`re Faces."
"You KNOW He Wanted Us To Find Him." Said Batwoman
"And Yet, It Has Been Three Nights...And Not So Much As a GREEN HAIR To Be Found."
Batman Tightened His Hands On The Wheel.
"It`s "HIS GAME, HIS RULES", Batman.
We`re Just Gonna have To Wait Until He Makes His Next Move."
"Which Could Mean a HIGHER Death Toll." Growled Batman
"Let`s Hope It Doesn`t Come To That..."
"With The Joker...You Can Never Know What He`ll Do Next."
The Batmobile Sped Off Into The City It`s Afterburners Blasting At Full Speed.
