Chapter 48: Chapter 48
[1st POV]
The scene was soon flooded with Rick and a couple of patrol cars with regular officers.
It turned out that my signal was detected about thirty seconds before I heard the wail of the siren.
The League knows how to handle technology, especially advanced stuff that can jam signals.
This will be a lesson for me to take to heart, and I'll need to figure out how to deal with it.
I had enough time to hide my machine gun and even gather up some of the cold weapons left on the ground.
It seems like the League of Shadows either didn't have time or didn't want to take them with them.
"How are you? What happened here?"
Rick asked.
"Those who wiped out our favorite precinct decided to test me."
I replied calmly, sitting down to tend to my wounds, even though I didn't really need any treatment.
"But after I fought back, and with Batman and his family showing up, they retreated."
"Officer Malcolm!"
He called to one of our men, "Radio in and tell the team to stay alert. We might have more attacks on other officers..."
"I highly doubt that."
I said, shrugging, "But they can still stay on guard. Something like the destruction of a police building is bound to stir up the local petty criminals. They'll get more active. So, regardless of what happens, we're going to have a mess on our hands."
"God damn it!"
He spat, sitting down next to me.
"Did it get you bad?"
"No!"
I shook my head, "I got lucky this time."
After these words, I remembered Batman's cocky, pointy-eared face, demanding answers from me while holding me by the collar...
What an asshole, here I am, risking my life along with the other cops, and he's treating me like some subordinate?!
We don't have billions and gadgets for this kind of work like they do. On top of that, we face just as many problems, if not more, in some cases.
Then he dares to tell ME what to do?!
If I hadn't been exhausted from the fight with Shiva, I would have beaten him now.
Nevertheless, I'm not fooling myself. I wouldn't win in a confrontation with the Dark Knight under these circumstances...
However, I think I have a good chance of being in a well-planned and organized fight.
"You look strange."
Ricardo shivered, "It feels like you're planning to get revenge on someone. Don't even think about it, those guys are clearly not our type."
"Don't worry. I'm not planning to take revenge on anyone."
I reassured him.
I just didn't mention that I was planning to clarify the situation for someone involved...
Ricardo was called by one of our officers, and I stayed behind to check the messages from the system:

After arriving at the city hall, Bullock, Gordon, and Detective King carefully examined me and then questioned me about what had happened.
In the end, they doubled the patrols again, even after they had already been doubled.
As for me, they sent me home. As a precaution, they provided a car escort to stay near my house for a day or two.
I wanted to refuse since having such protection with the current situation seemed excessive, but King disagreed with me and even with Gordon.
It seems they had started worrying about me.
Anyway, there shouldn't be any more attacks on me from the League anytime soon, and we should be able to handle it ourselves.
It was already dawn when I left city hall. Luckily, I wasn't tired but more on edge.
There was something I needed to do before heading home.
After slipping away from my "escort," I went back into the city hall, into the restroom, and made a copy of the clone who had been going to the library.
I gave him the necessary instructions and money to buy what I would need soon, then left him and went back to my people.
...
Pamela and Harley were already waiting for me at home.
They were sitting in the kitchen, eating ice cream, but they immediately started fussing over me like mother when they saw me.
I wasn't complaining.
These women really care about me...
"What happened to you?"
Pamela asked more insistently.
"The League of Shadows. There's an organization that..."
"I know what that is."
She ground her teeth, "Were they targeting you? Or did they want to recruit you?"
I am sometimes amazed by Pamela's level of awareness.
I'll need to ask her more about the League and a lot of other things. I feel like, despite my knowledge of the canon, I'm slower when it comes to information.
"Recruitment."
"Hmm. They'll leave you alone for a while now that they're gone. But still, you need to be on guard and another thing. Why do I feel like you're not telling me something important?"
"You just have amazing insight."
I smiled and sat her on my lap, capturing her lips in a kiss.
"Ugh. You two are kissing, and I have to stand here and watch? Can you stop torturing me in my poor position already?!"
Harley grumbled and started eating her ice cream more actively.
"Sorry, sweetheart, but Isaac, due to his 'association' with Joker, refuses to bring you to our bed. Even though he's a dog, he's loyal to his 'harem.'"
"I don't have a harem, but I'd like to... Ow! Why?"
"For the harem."
Pamela puffed her cheeks, "Well, you started it yourself!"
"But you should've stopped me and stopped those thoughts!"
I saw Harley think about what Pamela said with a thoughtful face and moving the spoon back and forth in her mouth...
So, I need to drag Pamela upstairs before I snap!
After a long night, morning, and afternoon, I went down to the basement to train.
I created ten clones. Five of them were assigned to train Chakra Control, while the rest were practicing combat skills.
Then I went into the "Shop," where I bought the Water Release: Water Bullet Jutsu, which cost 40 chakra points.
After that, I began training it, leveling it up to the sixth level by the end of the day.
Then, I decided not to stop there and continued working on the Suiton technique, but this time, I focused on developing it further.
With a little imagination and a bit more chakra, after half an hour of attempts, I unlocked a new Water Style: Great Cannon Ball Jutsu.
Then, I decided to finish my training for the day, as I was tired and my chakra was below two hundred.
I still needed to clean up after my training... Moreover, I should look for a bigger space for chakra and technique training.
I dispelled my clones and received notifications that all my combat skills had leveled up, as well as my abilities, then I went to eat and later went to rest.
To be continued...
