Anyone Can Be a Hero

It's been a month since everything had happened, the Batman was known to be dead and they created a statue in his favor. Another icon that was also deceased would be, Bruce Wayne, the newspaper article said that he died while trying to take down Bane, but he couldn't. He died a hero, they said, in which case, he really did.

I haven't decided whether or not to upload that file of 'my life' to add me into the system yet, but my brain was still in a debate.

"Zoey are you ready?" John called and I looked at him and nodded my head, "Let's head out."

John and I walked out of our apartment and down to the car; we were on our way to Wayne manor to a small yet appropriate funeral for Mr. Wayne, even though John and I know the truth.

Once it was over, John and I walked to our car and the Commissioner stopped us. He asked John if he was serious about quitting the police force and I looked at him shocked, not knowing that he had done that. I felt John's hand lock with mine and when they were finished talking I looked at him confused.

"How come you didn't tell me?"

"I didn't really finish the paperwork until this morning," he said and I nodded my head.

"I understand," I said and he looked down at me and pressed his lips to mine, "We better head to the thingy with the lawyers," I said and laughed.

John laughed a little and shook his head, "The thingy with the lawyers, that's a good one, is that what they're normally called?"

"Shut up and drive! You know what I mean," I said and we both drove off to the city hall to hear where Mr. Wayne's personal belongings were being given to.

The mansion was donated to the city where it was to be transformed into a children's home, John was happy about that. Alfred, Bruce's butler and closest friend, was to be given everything, and John and I had gotten a letter that there was something there for us as well. When the meeting was over, John and I walked over towards the secretary and waiting until she noticed us being there.

"Can I help you?"

"John Blake," he said and then grabbed my hand and squeezed it a little.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing here."

"Oh, try my legal name," he said and handed her a card.

I looked at him confused, ‘…Legal name?...’

"Oh, here, there is a bag for you and a Ms. Walker?" the secretary said and I perked up at the sound of my name.

"Yes, here," I said and she nodded her head and then she picked up a big duffle bag. I was confused, but John grabbed it and we turned around.

"You should use your real name, I like it," the secretary said and we turned around and he nodded his head.

"Legal name?"

"Long story," he said as we headed towards the elevator.

"Please explain."

"I hated my name as a kid, so when I was old enough I changed it. No fancy story or anything."

"So what is it?"

"What?"

"Your real name?"

"It's nothing," he said and I smirked and pinned him against the elevator walls.

"I have ways to make you talk," I said and he smirked and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I'm sure you do, but you can try all you want, I'll still never talk," he said and then pressed his lips against mine, and I took the opportunity to quietly slip my hand into his pocket and grabbed the card that he had handed to the secretary.

I pulled away and smirked as I held the card in front of his face. His eyes widened and I laughed and ran out of the elevator when the doors opened. I could hear him calling my name, but I laughed and made my way over towards the car.

"Zoey!" I looked up and saw that he was right in front of me. I smiled towards him and he tried to reach for the car but I held it back.

"Nope, I get to look," I said and he sighed and stood next to me and leaned against the car. I smiled and then looked at the car, ‘…Robin? I like it…’ I thought and looked at him, ‘…What’s wrong with it?...’

"Go 'head, start laughing," he said and sighed.

I looked over towards him and smiled and kissed his cheek, "Never, I actually like it better."
He looked at me and smiled and then brought his arms up and wrapped them around me, "I love you."

"I know, and what would you do without me," I said and honked his nose making him laugh.
We got into the car and headed back to the apartment, "So what did we get from Mr. Wayne?"

"Don't know, let me look," he said and then we sat on the couch and John opened the bag to reveal climbing rope, a satellite GPS, and coordinates, "Looks like we're going on an adventure."

"Yay!" I yelled and then jumped onto his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Adventures are fun!"

"I'm sure they are," he said and then wrapped his arms around my waist and pushed me onto the couch and climbed on top of me, "But you're funner."

"Funner? Really?"

"Shut up!" he said and I laughed as he pressed his lips onto mine and I tangled my fingers in his hair.

He broke from the kiss and moved his lips to my neck, I felt him smirk against my neck when he managed to get a moan out of me. I felt his hands roaming underneath my dress and going higher. At that, I remembered the news that I needed to tell him, but figured it could wait until later.

"Ok I'm done, let's go on the adventure," John said as he suddenly pulled away.

I looked at him shocked and then smacked his arm, "No teasing! Bad!"

He laughed and then pressed his lips onto mine and then pulled away and walked into the
room, "Are you going to change or go in your dress?"

"Well, now that you mention it, maybe I should change," I said and laughed as I also got up and walked into the bedroom, changing into jeans, a tank top, and a hoodie, "Ready?"

"Yeah," John said as we both walked out of the room, grab the bag, and head down towards the car.
John drove towards the coordinates that brought us to the middle of nowhere in the woods, "The road ends here, but the coordinates are about a half a mile north, we'll have to walk the rest of the way," he said and I nodded my head and we both got out of the car.

I threw my hair into a pony tail and then sighed, "This adventures not turning out to be fun."

"It'll get better probably," John said and then grabbed the bag and held out his hand. I smiled and grabbed it and then we both headed up the hill and started walking towards where the coordinates told us to be.

We walked the half a mile and it brought us to this beautiful water fall. I stared at it and then tried to look through the water, ‘…Maybe the water is a cover- A camouflage of what’s really back there…’

"So what do we do?"

"Well he gave us climbing rope, maybe we have to climb up the waterfall?" John said and I looked at the waterfall.

"No, I don't think we go up it," I said and then walked close towards the fall.

"Then what?"

"I think we need to go through it- Through the waterfall."

"Through it? Well that does sound like something Bruce Wayne would do," John said and then opened the bag and got the rope out, "He only gave enough for one person?"

I smirked and shook my head, "Because he knows that I can make it through on my own."

"No, it's too dangerous."

"I'll be fine, and just to be sure, you can go first," I said and laughed as he shook his head and we both made our way towards the top of the waterfall.

"All right, I let you know when it's safe," John said and I nodded my head and watched as he jumped down and flung through the water fall.

"Adrenaline rush to its fullest," I said and then sighed. I heard John call for me and I jumped up and down and cracked my neck and fingers, "Don't be nervous, Zoey, it's just a huge leap, nothing you can't handle."

"Zoey!"

"Coming!" I yelled and then stood on the edge, sighed, and then jumped. When I came to a rock, I grabbed onto it and then flung myself through the water and then ended up landing next to John.

"Happy you could join me," he said and I stood up and growled, "What were you scared?"

"NO!" I said and he smiled and shook his head.

"Come on," he said and then held out a glow light. He held it up high and I heard something coming towards us, "Get down!"

I knelt down and felt John covering me. Bats. Batman to his fullest. John and I understood where we were, we were in Batman's cave. We stood up and the bats flew around us. I looked up towards John and smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned into him. His arm was around my shoulder and we didn't move until the bats were all gone.

"Come on," he said and we started to walk through the water and we got to a part and felt ourselves being lifted out of the water. John had a grip on me so that I didn't fall and I laughed and shook my head.

"Batman's been a busy boy," I said and John laughed.

"Yes he has," John said and we continued to walk forward.

We came to a huge computer and I clicked on a button and all of these files popped up. What Batman told me about putting the memory stick into his computer popped into my mind and I smirked and shook my head, "His computer."

"Huh?"

"If I want my life to be in the system, then I have to stick the memory drive into his computer, that's what he told me," I said and John nodded his head.

"Go 'head, if you want your life in the system," he said and I smiled and nodded my head and stuck the memory drive in the computer and saw my life being converted into the system, "Welcome to your new life," he said and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my check.

“I think I’m going to like this new life.”
