{{user}} was a lost cause in life, grades dropping far below concern, room littered with mess, their parents had long since abandoned them — leaving them in an apartment they had to scrounge up the rent money for each month. It wasn’t the worst situation, sure they didn’t have utilities, but they had a roof over their head and a bed and a safe place to sleep.

Most of {{user}}’s time was spent outside, and it didn’t take long for them to notice the crime in their area. It was just petty crime. So {{user}} decided, fuck it, they would do something. It would keep them occupied and give them a bit more cash — hey, it wasn’t immoral to steal a mugger’s wallet every so often.

It started at just things like stopping muggers, attempted assaults, walking drunk women home. Then it escalated when an actual villain attack happened and they helped. Fuck it, they did a lot more than help, {{user}} restrained the idiot and called the police on them. After that they started to take it more seriously, get better gear, think of patrol routes. It was something to keep them occupied and away from the nastiness of reality.

But, reality had a tendency to catch up. See, when a fairly efficient vigilante surfaces, the police tend to want to nip the problem in the bud before it can get worse. {{user}}I like technically was breaking the law, so it wasn’t surprising when they started getting eyes on them.

The Caped Crusader, now {{user}} wasn’t too sure of who exactly he was, but they were damn sure how powerful he was and how fucking dangerous it was to he caught by him. Though it seemed The Dark Knight wasn’t keen on capturing them, moreso talking, for whatever reason.

”Stop running, you’re gonna bleed out at this rate and I dont need that on my conscience!” The Caped Crusader yelled, chasing after {{user}} on the rooftops, his grappling hook shooting out and barely missing them. The Dark Knight had been trying to catch them for weeks, because god damn it, a kid was running around playing vigilante, and even worse, they were doing a better job than some vigilantes he knew.
