A New Dawn

BATMAN worked tirelessly over the next few days while Electra was basking in her elevation to Mayor.

He questioned and re-questioned the two men convicted of the Hearst depository robbery, examined all the CCTV footage of recent crimes he could get his hands on and delved into the backgrounds of Electra’s main campaign backers.

His meetings with Commissioner Gordon were largely fruitless – the man bluntly refusing to believe Gotham City’s new elected leader could be involved in anything nefarious.

Anneka’s copied files yielded potentially useful information – but the Caped Crusader now doubted their veracity following his ambush at the bank. He was certain Electra had lured him into a trap but was still unsure as to whether the blonde teenager had been party to it or not.

After a week of ceaseless effort the file was complete – a damning indictment of Electra’s involvement in a web of criminality which she’d used to facilitate her rise to power.

Batman slid the last piece of paper into the bulging folder and tapped its cover with satisfaction.

The cares of the world seemed to drop from his shoulders as he imagined his enemy’s sneering smile slipping from her face in the face of his evidence.

The feeling of satisfaction was still coursing through him as he gunned the Batmobile into life and headed towards City Hall.

His request for an appointment with the new Mayor had been met with a certain off-hand weariness – as though he were a man of little importance. But the secretary had finally acquiesced after placing him on hold for what he thought was a frankly dismissive 10 minutes.

Her condescending attitude hadn’t altered as he walked into the reception room adjoining Electra’s palatial office.

“I’m afraid the Mayor can’t spare you long,” she said with an air of disdain in her voice. “She’s rather busy today.”

Batman simply nodded as he took a seat.

A series of headlines were flashing up on screens lining the wall behind the woman’s desk – the majority of them detailing Electra’s appointment of various new officials.

A catalogue of women who the Caped Crusader had never heard of were being handed high office as the new Mayor ousted anyone connected with the previous administration.

Sheena, Stacey, Carmen, Brooke, Holly, Andrea and others had taken over various roles involving health, finance, education, transport, community affairs and planning.

Anneka, it seemed, had been named Chief Policy Officer while Robin was confirmed as Law and Order supremo.

There were more – but before he could take them all in a buzzer sounded and the secretary interrupted his train of thought.

“The Mayor will see you now,” she said curtly indicating the door to the office.

Batman rose and strode through.

Electra was waiting for him inside.

She looked her usual stunning self – dressed in all-black leather outfit consisting of a dress which hung in a long V-shape on one side but cut high to the thigh on the other and a clinging top slashed at strategic points to reveal acres of flesh. Her height was accentuated by a pair of stiletto-heeled shows with cold toe caps.

She looked more like a model preparing for a fashion show than a woman just elected to run one of the biggest cities in the US.

“Batman,” she said without a hint of a welcome in her voice. “I’m surprised to see you. Everyone thought you’d crawled back into a little hole to lick your wounds.

“How’s your neck by the way? I heard you blundered into another situation which you were singularly ill-equipped to handle.

“I’m beginning to think you must have a definite masochistic streak in you.”

She looked at him with an air of arrogant superiority and then flashed him a patronising smile.

Batman ignored her barbed comments. Instead he simply walked past her to the large desk at the far end of the room and placed the bulging brown file he was carrying in its centre.

“I think you may care to look at this,” he said turning towards her again. “I have a number of copies – copies which I shall make public in precisely 24 hours unless you agree to my terms.”

Electra walked leisurely over to the desk and stood behind it facing the Caped Crusader. He couldn’t help noticing the two large diamond rings on her elegant fingers as she flipped open the incriminating folder.

She read a few lines and then looked up at the glowering crimefighter.

“Threatening me again, are you Battyboy?” she said dismissively. “That’s a very, very serious offence now I’m Mayor. Perhaps I should get my luscious little Robin to arrest you.”

Batman’s expression didn’t waver.

“Not as serious an offence as conspiracy to commit robbery, involvement in organised crime, taking illegal campaign donations and……well, I’ll let you read through the rest of the details at your leisure.”

This time it was Batman’s face which displayed a superior smile. He didn’t waste his time waiting for Electra to reply.

“You have 24 hours,” he said. “At the end of which I expect to hear that you and your stooges have stepped down from office.

“After which, I’ll decide what further action to take.”

He tapped his finger on the file and added: “Twenty-four hours Electra. Enjoy your reading.”

With that he turned and strode towards the door leaving his nemesis glaring at him from behind.

This time there was no mocking comment as the door closed behind the now-rejuvenated crimefighter.
