Demonic Hero - Volume 1 Chapter 6 Calm Before The Storm.

I flew at a considerable speed, but I did not fly to the hideout at first. First, I flew into a more built-up area of the city. And I landed on one of the roofs. At a higher height. I was worried that Batman didn’t chase me, even if he didn’t have sans. Given his way of thinking, he would follow me anyway. He had his own planes and other vehicles at his disposal.

And at that moment I got enlightenment. Who normal throws only one blade (batarang) at a potential enemy. I knew that he usually picks up a few and starts a melee fight. I watched his fights on youtube and other websites. And he dumped only one. I started to look at myself. I started with hair but found nothing in it. I didn’t stick anything to the horns either. I found nothing on my stomach and back. It wasn’t until I finished checking the other wing that I found the mini-transmitter. I underestimated him. Bat it, Batman. After re-examining the wings, I found a few more.

When I was sure I collected all of them. I crushed them all and burned the remaining parts with the fire that appeared in my hand.

I decided to change the place of stay, because the place where it is now will be for Batman the place where the signal stopped. And probably from this place he will look for me. Fortunately, my hideout is in another district of Gotham.

There was also a problem with my clothes. Playing with the pyromancer destroyed them completely. Most were burned and in some places there were holes. I have to get new clothes fortunately in Gotham is not a problem. Not that I’m a thief. A bit though.

I decided not to do it forever. I did it last time now. But this time I left a $ 100 banknote on the windowsill under the compensation for my trousers. A bit much but I did it under the influence of emotions. I don’t think I did it right.

Since I got rid of Batman transmitters, I decided to return to the hideout. It took me less than a minute to get there. As I said before, my wings allow me to fly really fast. I don’t have a speedometer, but I can confidently start a race with a supermen. I would definitely win.

When I reached my hideout I didn’t do much. I sat for a while and thought about today’s events. I ate the rest of my food and went to sleep.

The next day I decided to go to the store. To buy new food supplies and maybe newspapers. I’ll check if they write something interesting. I was already planning to buy them now I will have the opportunity. Dressed in his so-called camouflage. I went to a nearby store. It wasn’t without my intervention. It’s Gotham after all. But I didn’t kill anyone. They were ordinary thieves. They hooked me only because I was walking a short cut through a dark street. I asked for it myself. And it ended there. That I broke their bones in several places. In the end they didn’t kill anyone. So I had no reason to kill them, such “Instruction” should be enough for them. Entering, I went to the store. In it, besides the most needed groceries I bought several newspapers of famous brands. While shopping, I saw the shopkeeper’s hand constantly running away under the counter. Probably there is a gun But considering that I paid normally he didn’t intervene. I’m going to visit this store yet. So the shopkeeper will get used to my presence over time.

After shopping, I returned to the hideout. Reaching her wasn’t a problem for me. But I will have to remember that next time I will not regret the money and buy a strong bag. And not a foil bag.

“The devil teased me that I did not take this more expensive bag.” I thought and the next moment I started to laugh. For a known reason. However, through my violent movements. The bag burst, but thanks to my reflection I managed to prevent an accident. I stopped at a nearby roof and put all the items to the coat. I made it a bag and went on to the hideout.

There, I unpacked the sticks in a previously found stitch. And I started browsing the first newspaper. One of the regional Gotham newspapers went first. And in it save less important articles such as the expansion of the Ace Chemical Processing Inc. factory. , or many artists devoted to a local celebrity such as Bruce Wayne. Normal newspaper.

However, my attention was drawn to the article about the title. “Devil of Gotham”.

And it contained my expressions, some expressive others not. Most of them made in the bank or in the streets by the victims of the drives. The articles described, among other things, the reaction and testimony of witnesses. Looking at other local newspapers I saw that they have the same opinions. Although not entirely. Each newspaper called me differently. The most popular title they called me was, of course, “Devil of Gotham”, but other newspapers called me “Monster”, “Divine Punishment.” Topics about me were varied.

I am surprised by the speed of the journalists. Only this action took place several days in term and he has already made it public. As for journalists, the effectiveness of acquiring such topics is almost certain. I like some of the articles that described me in a good light. In one newspaper in which they called me “God’s punishment” and said that God finally sent someone to free the inhabitants of Gotham from the sin of corruption. This article described the dark side of Gotham as there was a crime on every corner. And about me who finally gives justice. also that the thieves I gave only a small “Lesson”. They stop stealing, but gain little phobias against theft. They wrote an interview with one of them. Who said he would rather die than get back to the theft. Because he knows that if he does it, “IT” will come for him.

At least I know that my “Lessons” make sense. I took a roll from my bag and continued reading.

I was compared to Batman. About his methods and mine. Journalists will have a lot of writing topics. That me in the main role. I left local newspapers from Gotaham and took a copy of the Daily Planet. In it I read about such stars as Superman, Powergirl. And their fights with super villains. There were also changes about other superheroes but small main roles and so Superman plays with his cousin. Other articles talked about local businessmen like Lex Luthor. But they were not very interesting.

I have not read all the articles in the newspapers. only the one that caught my eye the most. I was a little tired. Because I just went to the store. But in the meantime I stopped a few thieves. But it wasn’t worth the attention. It was a grouped one-sided fight.

I decided not to leave the hideout and rest until the end of the day.
