Batman: The Black Casebook Novels & Stories

“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. They will also be debriefing you on the auction that Ricci intends you to be part of.” I nodded in understanding.

I descended slowly, each step an echo in a crypt. The torchlight flickered to life as I stepped into the archive—a vast cavernous chamber lined with shelves of rotting leather-bound tomes, each one older than the last. But in the farthest corner, protected by chains and sealed glass, sat The Blackwell Codex—a book wrapped in red velvet and sealed with melted wax bearing the Blackwell crest. It pulsed. Not figuratively. Literally. I reached for the iron key I'd stolen years ago and unlocked the case. The chains rattled like they were trying to warn me. I broke the wax seal.

Especially not after everything that had happened. Sofia appeared with two plates of pasta, handing me one before flopping onto the other end of the couch. “So. How was coffee with billionaire Batman?” I poked at the pasta. “Awkward. Honest. He apologized. Told me about one of his old deals that wasn’t clean. Admitted he was scared of losing me.” Sofia whistled. “That’s progress. Damien Blackwood admitting fear? I thought his species didn’t do that.”

And I was going back. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands and forced myself up off the counter. I had to be strong. Papa wouldn’t want this. I packed enough for a couple days and before I knew it, I was getting off a plane and walking down the runway in a trance. It all went by in a hazy blur. I didn’t remember leaving my apartment, let alone getting on a plane, but here I was, just outside the airport. I hailed a cab and told the driver where I was going. He chuckled and raised a bushy black eyebrow. “Blackwater, eh? I don’t think I’ve ever been,” he leaned closer to the rear view mirror and lowered his voice. “I’ve heard rumors about the people there.” I perked up. “Really?” I was cu

“After I was hit by the Gamma, Arthur, at his son's funeral, I went to take care of my injuries in my room. When I was done in my room, I saw a strange figure appear and I followed it only to see it go to Nathan in the yard. They were engaged in the conversation and I heard one of then mention that the boss was in need of your pack documents in order to know where to strike next.” “And what did Nathan say?” I asked as though I didn't believe that he would do such a thing. And I didn't, I believed that this was just a phase. Peharps, Nathan only did it to see how far the shadow Wolves would go so he could tell me their game plan. There was no way Nathan would betray me like this.

Victoria added. "Maybe there's no way to trap him... but--" Petra, who had been silent until now, smirked with an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "Maybe we can trap his host!" She pulled a suitcase closer, snapping it open with a flourish. Inside lay an ancient, jet-black book with a velvet cover that seemed to shimmer ominously in the dim light. The book exuded an unsettling aura, its pages appearing to drip with a darkness that defied explanation. Each page looked like it had been soaked in shadows, the ink melding with the very fabric of the paper.

This was gear forged for a real battlefield. "Human craftsmanship," someone whispered in awe. The second cart opened, revealing crates of sealed cylinders. I recognized the markings—alchemical explosives, powerful enough to shatter a city wall. "What... what are those?" a noble stammered in terror. The third cart was the most striking. It held a single black leather box. When it was opened, everyone's face changed. Inside was a thick, leather-bound book. The cover was embroidered with silver thread: The Northern Secrets. A werewolf with complex runic tattoos on his face stepped forward.

Seeing Jaxon and Mia looking like they glue each other, Rey glared at Gavin who looked innocently at everyone. “Blacky is not wrong, he just wants to play. You know already, he likes women,” said Gavin which made all the men there snort in disapproval. “I told you to keep the snake in his cage, Gavin,” Gideon hissed. “Imagine if it was Kalista, she might give birth prematurely.” All the men there shuddered at the thought of Kalista with her big belly climbing a chair and running around the room being chased by Blacky. “Usually Blacky is very sweet,” Gavin defended against his snake which looked at the men around with its round eyes as its body squirmed about to come to its master.
