The Cave, Monday evening [NFB]
Bruce was back in Fandom. He didn't want to talk about the past few days. And so he was spending some time in the cave. Fortunately, it looked much better than it did immediately after the Auditors started swarming the island (what with them destroying things and such) due to Bruce's plans for the place influencing his memory a little (not that he ( Read more... ) -
London, the year 2971, Friday evening [FT]
When Bruce stepped out of the portal, he was rather surprised. For one thing, he expected to end up in Egypt for some specialized training. This... wasn't that. It looked like London, only with blimps. And giant TV screens. Yet it was still somewhat old-timey. Maybe even Victorian judging by the clothing he saw on the streets. It was, in a word, ( Read more... ) -
Room 513, Thursday evening
Bruce enjoyed Christmas. Not because it was happy fun times with family. Don't be foolish. He enjoyed it because it gave an easy, built in excuse for why he might disappear for a week to, say, get some survivalist training in over in the Sahara. Or something. People saw him packing up and leaving a few days before Christmas and they just didn't ask ( Read more... ) -
Still in Special Collections, Sunday morning
Bruce had been checking around the camp to see if anyone needed help with anything. When he took a turn at a toadstool, though, he found himself inside a hospital. "This again?" Bruce asked before hearing a gun cock behind him.
"I sure hope you've got a good HMO, punk," a tough-looking doctor with a chinstrap beard said. "Because once I'm done ( Read more... ) -
In Special Collections, Saturday afternoon
Bruce had been minding his own business by sitting in his tent by himself when, apparently due to the whimsy of narrative causality, he was suddenly transported onto a roof"When installing your skylight," a disembodied voice said, "keep in mind ( Read more... ) -
The Cave, Wednesday evening
Judging by the skies outside when he looked out earlier, it was probably just about time for Bruce to finish stocking his utility belt and head back to the dorms to check in with everyone else to see what was happening. Really, he just had to check out that a few things were still working right. Grapple hook taser charged? Check. Shuriken sharp and ( Read more... ) -
The Cave, Tuesday night [NFB]
In his past at Fandom, this would be about the time when Bruce would start talking to other people, trading notes, or at least punching each other until they started to feel better. Not this time. This time was more personal for Bruce. He couldn't contact home. He couldn't travel there. He had no reason to believe it still existed ( Read more... ) -
The Cave, Late Sunday night [NFB]
Bruce returned to the island covered in blood and busted up armor with a sword slung over his shoulder as he made his way over to the cave. The Portalocity experiment was over. He was convinced he wasn't getting to Gotham. He was going to have to trust that if anything was happening there in his time, Alfred would be able to cover it ( Read more... ) -
Someplace with zombies, Saturday afternoon
Bruce's hope that the Portalocity experience might work smoothly was sadly misguided. Yesterday he was in the middle of a battle in France that he couldn't quite place. He didn't have to kill anyone, but there was at least one knight out there wearing less armor and missing a sword by the time Bruce got another portal. As it turned out, he would ( Read more... ) -
The Cave, Thursday morning [NFB]
After receiving an anonymous message and deciding to take the fact that he hadn't been able to get in contact with either Alfred or Dr Leslie Tompkins to heart, Bruce decided to do something probably insane. Packing only an overnight bag and his utility belt, he decided to risk portal travel in order to get to Gotham faster. This would be the first ( Read more... )
