Batman Beyond Disappearing Inque Novels & Stories

Edward hadn't expected me to actually attack him. The next second, there was a dull thud behind him—someone collapsed with a muffled groan. Then, my partner made his move. I cursed under my breath as everything was about to fall apart at the very last moment. Our location and identity had been exposed. My partner and I worked in tandem. I pulled Edward behind me—no matter what, he was a citizen of my country. I had to protect him. In the chaos, I heard someone shout, "Vanessa!"

In the quiet, she said, "If Nova's next, we'll need help. And not just the old crew." Clara leaned in. "I already reached out to someone." "Who?" "A woman named Inez Talbot. Used to run recon for the Geneva Watch. She disappeared five years ago after exposing a child smuggling ring run by Belladrix's front companies." Bella's eyebrows lifted. "You think she's still alive?" "I think she's waiting to be found." --- The next morning, Riven walked into the training yard where the rescued kids were slowly learning to laugh again. He knelt beside a boy who refused to speak and placed a chessboard between them.

Alice stammered, obviously nervous. "Hhhmmm... I see... Because of the way you all look at me like I am some kind of dead person who rises from death." I just promised and suddenly Gen coughed. I just froze. Their actions are telling me something. And my instinct is screaming that they are hiding something, but whatever it is I will be sure to find it. Even if Batman dies.

Well, is this not fantastic? As I look off in the distance, I watch as Roberto disappears off into the dark of the night. Alatar only but rumbles his voice, "I am on it."

The truth gnawed at me more viciously the guilt ever could. I waited. Waited for him to move, for him to start laughing asking me if I really thought it would be that easy. But nothing happened. He just laid there, motionless. And Bane, he disappeared when shit hit the fan, ran away like a scared puppy with his tale between his legs. My men have been searching for him, but they haven’t found the slightest trace of him. What if I wasn’t supposed to win? What if he made me think that I did?

He looked at me with contempt and began with the reading. "As we all know, Bella here was charged with the murder of Jose some time ago, and her sentence remains pending. However, some of the factors that she claimed led to her capture, according to her in her statement, were the betrayal from her then-boyfriend, Luka Coleman." He paused a bit, allowing the murmuring of the crowd to die down.

In the blink of an eye, their wedding anniversary arrived. Zach brought a cake he had reserved back home, only to find it empty. He searched the entire place, but he could not find Ninian. The panic of losing her overwhelmed him again. In his anxiety, Zach called the police, only to hear the sound of plates shattering from the kitchen. Zach ran into the kitchen and saw Ninian tearing up. “Honey, I have cancer.” Before Zach could say anything, everything around them plunged into darkness, and Ninian showed up from another side.

“We will all be at tomorrow’s services for your mother, Phantom. We will also avenge her untimely death.” Buddha crossed his arms, “And how the fuck are we going to do that when we can’t even track the fucker down?” The edge to his voice was clear. Badger flicked Buddha on the forehead. “Clearly he is getting to that dummy.” Buddha let out a huff. “Anyway… First things first, Phantom, you will be working in the Hive today to look over footage that Kade’s team has uncovered.

In the cold light filtering through the glass, I calmly read his message, then popped the SIM card from my phone and snapped it in two. I powered the phone down and watched the screen go completely dark. The turbine engines roared to life as the plane accelerated down the black runway. I watched as the land I once thought was my romantic destiny shrank in the distance, until it disappeared completely from view. No tears. No regrets. Only liberation. Harrison.
