This chapter–
Rating: T
Word Count: 1864
Summary: A part of me still rebels against it, reels at the ludicrousness of putting on a domino mask and going out at night to fight crime. Most of me loves it, is addicted to it, which is why I'm out here night after night, acting like an idiot and a man half my age. I guess that's why they call it a midlife crisis.
Warnings: Violence and naughty language.
Author's Note: So this is me writing original fiction, holy crap. I had this idea months and months ago; I started writing it and immediately got walloped by not one but two huge Batfic ideas. You all know how that's going. I've been working on this occasionally in little tiny bits in between my other things.
This story resulted from one too many late-night drives into downtown Portland, looking at the buildings all lit up, tall and noble and imposing with their heads in the clouds... and thinking that it's just a tragedy that Portland has no superheroes. ...It doesn't, right? I've not heard of any in mainstream comics. ...Well, now Portland does.
( Well, okay, superhero is a misnomer. But 'masked vigilante crimefighter' doesn't have quite the same caché. )
