Chapter 121 - [AT] Old Victims...

[After Transition]

I sit for quite a while in the back of the Batmobile with dimmed lights but that sucks for him because I have night vision and I can clearly see everything in here although there's not much to look at and so I decided to bust myself for the duration of the trip by drinking some of the bottled water as well as eating some fruits of which he had a nice supply of some apples, bananas, oranges and gr.a.p.es which were definitely the best I've ever tasted but I guess that's the luxury of the wealthy and they have the best of everything but god damn are these things good they must've been made in a special way or something for rich people and no matter what I'm definitely going to look into getting myself some of these in the future because they are so goddamn delicious, aside from busying myself with eating the food items provided to me by the Batman I've also been trying to use my senses to see if I can hear anything outside of this Batmobile and more importantly if I can manage to eavesdrop on the other two inhabitants of this moving tank of awesomeness but no matter how hard I try even going so far as to try and shut off my other senses to focus on a singular one I can't seem to sense them even when I completely gave up on hearing them and decided to try and just smell their scents since I was trying to sense them and I at least want to accomplish that even if it is with a useless sense in this situation but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to be able to sense anything outside of my compartment in the back of the Batmobile which means that this thing is completely sealed or which I guess makes sense since the Batman must primarily use this to transfer criminals (or people he doesn't particularly like or trust enough) and he doesn't want them being able to try and escape because someone like Poison Ivy would be able to manipulate the plants outside of the vehicle but I guess he stopped that from happening by completely seeking this compartment of not allowing anything in or out and I can even tell that the air that's coming in is being regulated by something and continuously checked, I guess thats Batman 'the most prepared hero' for you.

Since I've spent all my time trying to sense while in the Batmobile I've come to figure that the only sense I can actually use to tell the state of the outside where rod is my sense of balance/momentum since I can tell the speed at which the Batmobile is moving by that and I've noticed that a few times he's stopped the vehicle before it moves again five minutes later I've also been able to tell which direction he has been moving the car in by basically making myself slightly floppy and light weighted and when the car moves in a certain direction the momentum will carry on through to me and move my body through which I can tell whether he's moving left and right but since I don't know much of Gotham I don't exactly know where he's going but since I'm bored as I've been in the back of this thing for at least an hour (more snacks and stuff came out a compartment after a while and I'd already figured that the Batman has cameras viewing me so I've been making sure to make my actions as subtle as possible (yes, even the floppy method since I only needed to feel the slightest moment in the direction before I stopped being floppy to figured which way he was turning) I've decided to try and see if I can memorise his pathing and see if later on I can figure out how to get wherever he's taking me assuming he's taking me where I think he's taking me and see if that would clue me into a secret entrance plus I'm bored and it's something to do, he's stopped like twenty times or something every 5 - 10 minutes and since this is Batman we're talking about I can pretty much conclude he's not stopping to get some fast food or get the Batmobile waxed so he's probably stopping to prevent some crime he's been alerted to in the area which I guess is fine but by this pace I'm guessing that I'm not gonna get wherever we are going until the end of the day and so I ready myself for a long time in this small enclosed space (do I have claustrophobia? After being trapped in the back of a van, being stuffed into a small meat grinder, having my meat wrapped in several separate plastic bags, being trapped under a collapsed building? I definitely have a problem with enclosed spaces but not so much that I'm gonna start freaking out) and so I sit and wait through several trips and five minute stops while busying myself with some time waiting activities and I don't take much notice when the Batmobile stops and stays stationary once again but this time something unexpected happened.

Instead of waiting the customary and now expected 5 or more minutes the Batmobile shoots of again after a few seconds and I take notice of this because it's the first time that it's happened during the length of this trip and as much as I like to think that the Batman needed up stalling the Batmobile I somehow know that's not true and now that I think about it the Batmobile was going a bit faster than usual before that stop so something must've happened but what I don't know and I don't think I'm gonna know before I get out of this compartment though I do have some ideas such as Batman stopping to pick someone or something up or stopping to drop or something or maybe drop Barbara somewhere which I frown at the thought of since I thought we were at least friends but then again I've been trapped under a building for like two weeks or something so maybe her feelings mellowed out during that time and I'm nothing more than some weird guy/scientific anomaly that survived a burning building falling on him and than surviving for two weeks underneath said building, I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed at the thought but I guess I can accept it if that is indeed what has happened but I can't help the niggling feeling that I'm forgetting a certain scenario but for the life of me I can't seem to remember what that is so in the end I just give up on it and go back to what I was doing which was eating some unbelievably tasty fruit and trying to map out the path that the Batmobile is taking taking into account the turns and the duration of the turn as well as the duration between turns though this whole process might be for nought as I might not actually be going to the place that I think I'm going and am actually going to the hospital to get a check which I highly unlikely since Batman knows I'm not a normal person since I've survived unscathed underneath a bunch if debris for the last two weeks and the more likely option is that he is taking me to the Thompkins Clinic which is in the Park Row/East end area and is run by Dr Leslie Thompkins who is trusted by Batman to be discrete and trustworthy so this is most likely where I'm being taken but even so on the off chance that he might be taking me where I think he's taking me I'll try and memorise the path the Batmobile is taking.

After a while I feel the Batmobile begin to take a lot of rapid turns as well as swerve all around the place before it finally stops though what's weird about it's stop is that I can feel the car spinning a full 180 even though I can tell that the Batmobile is stationary and cannot possibly move or turn like that without actually accelerating so I'm mighty confused by what is happening right now though I am getting quite excited since it's definitely not something that you would see happening in East End so my hopes as to where we actually are is shooting up rapidly though I make sure to keep calm though I do make sure to become extremely alert since I can feel that this is my final stop for the day and I probably won't be moving in the Batmobile at all for the rest of the day, I wait a couple of minute before finally I can see the seams of the back of the Batmobile open up and begin to let some light through as it slowly opens up and I feel my seat begin to move out of the compartment to be hanging just inside the Batmobile but out enough that my legs are outside of the Batmobile and I take a moment to look back in regret to see the fruits slowly go back into their compartments and I wish I could've eaten some more of this delicious fruits but once I forget about those and I try to get out of my seat to take a look around my surroundings I notice that I can't seem to remove the restraints with normal human strength which worries me a little bit and so I begin to look around to see if there is anyone here who can provide me with some assistance and I forget about the layout and appearance of my location in favour of looking at the person who is currently approaching me dressed in a fine black butler suit that includes white gloves and they seem to be wearing a Bat mask on their head that reminds me of something and after a moment I realise it looks like the Batman mask Adam West wore in the television show and I find some humour in that but I'm assured that it is not Adam West plunder that mask when I see the thin white pencil moustache on the upper lip of the man.

"Hello sir. I've been expecting you." Alfred Pennyworth states while looking me in the eyes and for a moment I worry if he knows that it's me that robbed the mansion of which he in charge of a few weeks ago, as well as the fact that I knocked him out cold...
