An hour later Bruce let out a tired sigh as he sat down in front of the computer in the Batcave, his hood pulled down, and after taking a moment to think started typing. He had lost Harley and the hyenas after chasing them across half of Gotham, much to his annoyance, but for now there was nothing he could do about it, he would just have to wait until she or the Joker next showed their faces.
Speaking of face, for some reason he couldn't get the whiskered teens out of his head, he couldn't put his finger on it but Bruce was positive he had seen him before. But he just couldn't place it, like an itch in the back of his mind he just couldn't reach.
Shaking the thoughts out of his head, the dark hero turned to look at the elevator door as the sound of them opening reached his ears, revealing Barbra Gordon, AKA batgirl, AKA the seventeen year old daughter of the commissioner. He hadn't seen her since yesterday, them both having taken different sections of the city to patrol and her having gone straight home after she was finished.
When he saw the small frown on her face, all traces of tiredness vanished from Bruce's face instantly.
"What happened?"
Walking over and leaning on the desk next to him, the red headed teen yet out a sigh before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a piece of paper. Without saying a word she handed him the paper to show him a ruff sketch of a boy, maybe in his teens, wearing a hoodie and jeans with a bucket hat on his head. Then he noticed something off about the picture.
"Why no face?"
"The alley was too dark for me to get a good look at the guy, but I thought you should know about him just encase."
Frowning slightly, the itch in the back of his head retuning before he brushed it off, Bruce turned back to the computer and started typing.
"What happened?"
"I was making my way through the West side of Gotham when I spotted to thugs dragging teenager into and alley and pressing a knife to his throat, didn't take much brain work to figure out he was being mugged, so I intervened and took out the thug without a knife was quick as possible. But before I could move onto the next the teenager grabbed the guys arm, snatched the knife out of his hand and had him pinned against the wall face first faster then I could follow. Then he held the knife to the guy's jugular vain and started interrogating him."
Stopping his typing for a moment, Bruce looked at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Let me guess, he wanted to know about a man with 'a large, leather bond book, with an erratic personality'?"
Raising an eyebrow, Barbra nodded, waiting for him to explain.
"I came across several thugs and gangs last night saying they had been beaten by some kid in a bucket hat, what else happened when you saw him."
"Well when it got to the point I thought he was actually going to cut the guy throat I grabbed his arm and knocked the knife out of his hand, I was about to take him to the police for questioning when he broke my grip on his arm. Oh and I think he knows Robin, he talked about a Traffic-Light-san and how I was just like him because he have the same teacher, then he just disappeared in a flash of light."
Frowning, Bruce thought over everything she had told him and understood why she as worried. They were always on the lookout for the next villain to show up, and this guy was sending up red flags. He spent several minutes thinking over his next move before slumping a little in his seat and letting out a sigh, something that didn't go unnoticed by the red headed teen stood next to him.
"...you're gong to call him, aren't you?"
Without answering Bruce pulled his mask on, Barbra quickly doing the same, before typing on the computer again. A minute later the large screen was filled with the image a surprise looking Robin, but the surprise was quickly replaced with indifference
"Why are you calling me?"
Ignoring the stab of sadness that hit them both at the boy cold reaction, Bruce held up the drawing of the teen with a bucket hat without a face.
"Do you have any idea who this might be?"
Even without a face Robin was able to recognise the image of Naruto without any problem. The two dark heroes watched in confusion as the boy wonder let out a tired sigh before pulling out a communicator from his pocket.
"Raven, you better come to the common room quick, it's about Naruto."
Putting the device away again, Robin tuned back to the screen.
"His name is Naruto Uzumaki; he lives here in Jump city"
Leaning forward slightly, Batgirl raised an eyebrow at his strange behaviour.
"Is he a part of your team?"
"...no"
"Is he a Villain?"
"...no"
Having enough of the short answers, Batman frowned.
"Then who is he?"
"My boyfriend."
Both Batman and Batgirl looked to the side of the screen to see a girl in a blue cloak with purple hair and a stoic expression on her face walking into the room. She moved to stand next to Robin, before looking at the two famous heroes.
"What did he do?"
"He's going around Gotham interrogating thugs looking for someone, we don't know why or who it is, but his methods are extreme."
