"You know I feel the same way about yesterday," Carrie said. "When I touched that gem it felt like it was going to change my life in a big way." She sighed. "I guess that's why it's still on my mind."

The moonlight was starting to set in and Batman flew high above Gotham in his jet before finding an unfriendly face on one of the rooftops. Choosing to see for himself, The Dark Knight jumped out of his jet, landing on the rooftop directly below him, albeit not as gracefully as normal.
Standing at the edge of the same rooftop, Ra's Al Ghul felt a presence and couldn't help but smirk. "Dear boy, I was wondering as to when you would show yourself. Turning around, he laid eyes upon Batman himself who had several Assassins throughout the city who were ready to act at this command.
"End this, Ra's! NOW!"
"Detective, I simply cannot do that at your whim." Ra's spoke in a calm manner. "Unless... you do as I have called for you to do for years. Become the heir to the demon! Become the next Ra's Al Ghul and you can save your city."
"No. My answer hasn't changed and it never will." Batman walked slightly closer to Ra's, not wavering in his resolve. "And I WILL save my city."
"Is that right? By relying on your wit? Your skill can only take you so far. I've seen your movements. You're getting older, slower....weaker. Son, if you continue on this crusade, I will be forced to burn this city to the ground and it will be on your head. Do you want that?"
"I'll stop you before that happens."
"For a master detective, you're a terrible liar." Ra's spoke. "Is the mantle of the Dark Knight wearing on your soul? Or are the unfortunate incidents with your young charges becoming too much to bare?"
Hearing Ra's take a shot at his young partners got to Batman and in an uncharacteristic fashion, Batman rose up and threw punches with no regard for strategy. Seeing an opening, Ra's delivered a spin kick with such ferocity that Bruce's cowl fell off, revealing his face. Seeing Ra's stand over him, Bruce let out a deep breath.
"Just kill me and be done with it."
"No. Killing you serves no purpose. I have many plans for you, none of which involve your death." Ra's turned his back to The Dark Knight, looking outside as Batman got to his feet. Ra's raised his hand high then clenched his fist, giving the signal for his Assassins. Minutes later, several fire arrows started to rain down from the sky, setting buildings ablaze without prejudice.
Satisfied with what he was seeing, Ra's turned and walked over the Dark Knight. "It's your move, Detective."Ra's said before taking his leave with Batman alone on the rooftop.

Nodded in agreement, Wicz looks at the night sky as together, they went on their way to their respective houses. During this time, he read a text from his sister that she’ll be coming in late and so he responded back by telling her that his friends are dropping him off instead. Putting his Android phone away, he immediately notice the dangerous state the buildings are facing. “Holy shish kabobs! Guys, look!” Wicz alerted Carrie and Chris.

Chris was at his computer desk when he got the alert. He read it and then bolted outside his home. He couldn't believe his eyes. "You aren't kidding. Who the hell let the firebug out? This is insane!" Chris said as he began to take video shots.

Carrie put down the book she was reading when she got the alert from Wicz. "What in the hell is going on?" she said as she looked outside.

"I-I've no idea." Silently grateful that his home is at least farther from the downtown district, Wicz got out from the bus station, watching the blaze unfold in front of himr. "M-Maybe we should get outta here before we g-get burned?" He suggested, his voice laced with fear, fear of getting touched by fire.

"Wait. If there's these many buildings on fire...Trapped civilians...I don't know. I just know that I feel needed." Chris said as he texted Wicz and Carrie. "I think....We can save some of the civilians." Chris said.

Biting his lower lip, Wicz had to think about what to do. His mother always told him not to get into danger, but if anything happens to them, risk yourself to save even if it hurts. Controlling the rising panic, he responded back. "We'll do as much as we can before cops and firefighters arrive, okay? Last thing we need is more trouble for us."

With Gotham being set ablaze, time was running out for Batman to save the city and thanks to some expert positioning by Ra's, Bruce would not be able to get to all of the Assassins in time.
"Alfred.."
"Yes Master Bruce?" Alfred answered over their com system.
"I need you to tap into security footage from the museum last night and run facial recognition on the three kids I spoke with. I need to find them quickly."
"Right away, sir!" Alfred began his assigned tasks, knowing that things must been getting desperate if Bruce is looking for help.

Texting "ok" in response, Wicz turns off his phone and started guiding the civilians from the buildings. By the time he got most of them out, he notice a young woman crying frantically for someone on top of the building in front of him. Noticing that it was her mother and their pets, Wicz felt paralyzed with fear because he didn't want to go inside when there's fire. But he can't just stand there like a coward and let them be consumed to death.
'Courage. Courage. Courage.' Wicz chanted thoughtly, his fingers twitch incessantly out of habit, a habit that occurs whenever he has an internal debate or feeling the external pressure from everyone. Eventually his hands clenched tightly, his adrenaline rising, his fears shoved aside, Wicz enters the building before others tried to stop him. Covering his mouth and nostrils with his sleeve, the teenager carefully made it to the mother's location, where he informs her that he's here to save her. Quickly, he grabs her husky puppies and her cat as their owner leans on him so he can lead them safely outside. Eventually after a few dead ends, they manage to vacate the building just in time before it collapses.
Leaving the pets and their owner to reunite with the owner's daughter, Wicz felt to one knee, his heart beats rapidly from adrenaline, and the skin on his neck feels horribly itchy, but other than that he’s none the worse for wear. He could probably manage speaking if he tried, but for now he need to check on everyone in this area until the cops get there. Wiping the sweat away, Wicz spits out the excess saliva to ground before he resumes his task.

Chris started to evacuate some of the nearby houses down his street that were caught up in flames. As hot as the flames got it didn't bother him.. He kept on until every last person was evacuated.

"Good work." Batman arrived and landed next to Wicz. "The rest of the citizens are secure. I need you to come with me."

Hearing more cries down the way, Chris headed toward them and steadily evacuated as many people as he could. As he evacuated the remaining people and family pets from the building, He checked on everyone before he took a knee to gather himself.

At this, Wicz jerks his head around to stare at Batman in bewilderment. After yesterday, he wasn’t sure if he ever ran into the Caped Crusader again. More so, to thank him for saving his life.
“W-Wait? What?” When he told Wicz he needed his help, the teenager sucks in a breath that hitches in his chest, surprised by the offer. “... Why?”
