He glanced over at the sign on the back, the one proudly proclaiming the entrance to the<em>Gotham Bank</em>. Inside was enough money to set them all for life, one last score in the worst city to be a criminal in.<br/><br/>The rest of his crew (five in total) grabbed their respective equipment, huffing the duffel bags over to the hole and throwing them in one by one. The lead thug kept his sawed-off shotgun ready on the back alley. Last thing they needed was someone poking their head down the alley and getting curious! Once the last thug was inside he ducked inside of the bank and joined them.<br/><br/>"Looks like you were right boss," One of his men grunted pointing at the blinking alarm box that was still bright red "Cutting a hole in the door bypassed the whole system."<br/><br/>"Of course, I’m fucking right!" The leader said shaking his head and moving into the bank "Lights on boys! Time to get paid."<br/><br/>"What are you going to do with your share?" One of the men asked his voice younger as he flicked on his mag light. The rest of them followed suit one by one, bathing the banks atrium in light and causing the shadows to darken.<br/><br/>"Ha!" One of the more senior members said adjusting the black ski mask over his face as he moved into the bank "I got a mortgage my young friend! What do you think I’m going to do with it?"<br/><br/>"College fund for me," Another one said immediately moving to the back where the vault was "My daughter is bugging me about tuition, she’s going to Gotham University."<br/><br/>"Ugh you guys are old!" The younger one said going over to the entrance and shutting off his light.<br/><br/>"Don't knock experience kid," The leader growled moving over to the vault and watching as the other thug began to work on cutting into it. "We've been doing this since before you were born. In the golden age!"<br/><br/>"Oh god not this again," The younger guy called out leaning against the front glass of the bank without a care in the world. "Golden age of super hero's my ass! The bat-<br/><br/>"Don't mention the bat!" The leader called out with a growl stopping him. "You're going to jinx this shit."<br/><br/>"The bat is old!" The younger man countered leaning forward and taking his eyes off of the window "There’s no way he can-<br/><br/>Whatever the young thug was about to say was cut off as the glass exploded behind him. Large powerful hands grabbed his shoulders causing him to drop his gun in fright. He was pulled into the darkness outside taken before he could even scream out to the others..<br/><br/>"God damn it!" The lead thug said shaking his head "Kid just had to jinx us! Two of you… take a peek carefully."<br/><br/>The two thugs not working on the vault nodded and moved to the window. They poked their heads out looking around at the street and trying to find the young thug in the darkness. The street lights were down the darkness pressing on all sides. After a few minutes they came back in and shook their heads at the leader.<br/><br/>“No sign of him.”<br/><br/>"Keep working on the vault." The leader growled moving over to the entrance and cocking back the hammer on his shotgun. He composed himself before calling out.<br/><br/>"Batman!" The leader shouted out as loud as he could "Can't you give us a break? You can't tell me this bank isn't good for the money! Insurance and what not, probably won’t get but a slap of the wrist for losing it.."<br/><br/>"Are you insane?" The thug working on the vault said shaking his head "When in fifteen years has Batman ever reasoned with a criminal?!"<br/><br/>"Never" A voice growled from the shadows above their heads. A voice as dark as the shadows and with the bite of a lion. A voice many Gothamites knew of but seldom heard, and the ones that did rarely spoke about except in hushed fear.<br/><br/>Both men whirled around trying to get their guns up as a massive black shadow swept down from the darkness. The massive broad costumed vigilante crashed into the leader first his large boot coming down and slamming into his hand. The crunch of bone and the leader scream was of little consequence to the man as his hand swept up and a curved strange looking disc styled after a bat spat out and slammed into the other thug’s hand. He was pinned in a second to the wood of the counter and his screams joined the leader.<br/><br/>"Stop” The costumed man commanded ignoring the other two thugs moving in. The Bat Of Gotham helped the leader up instead. The costumed vigilante eyed him for several seconds before his muscular slightly wrinkled mouth opened in a smile.<br/><br/>"Is that you Frankie?" The Batman asked going over to the man he pinned to the counter and pulling it out with a yank. The man crumpled still swearing up a storm and whimpering in pain.<br/><br/>"Damn it" The leader said pulling off his mask and revealing his face. It was indeed Frankie! "How'd you know?"<br/><br/>"You've done this play before Frankie." Batman reminded the thug "You've even cut the door of this bank before! You getting slow on me Frankie?" Batman asked with a chuckle.<br/><br/>"I thought this place looked familiar!" The other thug said groaning at the wound on his hand "You didn't have to do that Batman! Isn’t there a frequent customer pulled punches program or something?"<br/><br/>"You didn't have to try and rob a bank" He reminded them going over to the other two thugs and grabbing their guns "Nice kid you brought onto the crew, these two and the one outside especially."<br/><br/>"Ugh don't remind me!" Frankie said smacking his forehead "He's my nieces kid, One of those punks that think the old age is done."<br/><br/>"Well he doesn't believe that anymore," Batman said throwing the guns on the floor and stomping on them breaking them in one motion. "I gave him a new perspective..... The world looks a lot different hanging upside down."<br/><br/>The other thugs had a chuckle as Batman came over and quickly slapped a pair of cuffs on each of them. Once they were secure, he led them outside where a line of police men waited. The uniformed men of the GCPD were already at work getting down the younger thug who looked terrified. He screamed when he saw Batman who made sure to give him a little wave before continuing. Batman stayed to talk with the police for a few minutes catching up with some of the older veterans of the police force and also making sure Frankie was taken care of. Once they were secured, he said his good byes and with a quick press on his belt summoned the bat mobile. The massive tank like car slid to a stop it's door's opening to let him clamber in before closing around him and sealing.<br/><br/>"Alfred," Bruce Wayne said unsealing his mask the minute the blacked-out windows closed and scratching at the stumble on his face "Mental note anonymous deposit of funds into the college fund of that thug’s daughter. From the Wayne Charity foundation.”
