The Eighth Night [Action, AU Event]

[cowledcrusader]

[It's been a fairly uneventful week for Bruce Wayne, who has been enjoying himself in Luceti, despite how dull it is in comparison to Gotham City.  He's been spending most of the week wandering around town, and thankfully because Batman's not the most social of creatures, he isn't much confused by a lot of the people he's running into.

So.  For all intents, there's a comfortably dressed, tall man who most people probably haven't seen much of in the past.  Unlike Batman, this Bruce is a social creature, given that his parents never died and he was never Batman to begin with.   Bruce will be wandering around town most of the day in various places, so he might run into your character... or you can approach him and see who this guy is. 

However, after the day is done, Bruce returns to his house that he shares with the Justice League.  He'll make his way to his own room, which seems uncharacteristically bare.   It hasn't bothered him much, though when he decides to go get a change of clothes for after taking a shower, he stumbles upon a hidden compartment in his closet.

...Inside the closet is his Batsuit... or rather, Batman's batsuit... as well as several pieces of his crimefighting equipment.  Utterly shocked, Bruce takes out some of it and begins examining it.  Housemates are free to catch him making the discovery of "his" gear.]

...What is all of this?

[He still looks at the cowl for a moment, before resting it on a desk nearby. Instead, he exchanges the costume for one of the several Batarangs he had pulled out, looking it over as intently as the costume.

At first, it's not really clear if he heard Diana's statement.]

It would explain why I can't remember much of the past several months.

[Turning the weapon over in his hands once more, letting it rest in his palms, he can only pose one single question.]

...What would make me even do something like this?

I shouldn't-- ...It's better off if you don't know.

[He frowns, setting the batarang aside. This is a lot to think about.]

...But... who is Batman? Other than... well, me? I guess?

What do you mean? [She'll try to answer the best as she can.]

He- you are a superhero...defender of Gotham.

[nocapesorcowls.livejournal.com]

...Superhero.

[He blinks twice when he hears the word. What, him? Just a rich kid from Gotham City? But she had mentioned that they were... colleagues. His next question can only come from deducing what details he's been told so far...]

Was I a member of the Justice League?

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

You were. [She gives him a small smile.] In fact, you funded the Watchtower and most of our equipment.

...Guess some things didn't change, then.

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

What would we do without you?

[nocapesorcowls.livejournal.com]

It's nothing. I'm just glad it all went to a good cause. The League's the one doing the hard work out there.
