6 year old Bruce Wayne was just prancing around pretending he's swordfighting. "En Guard! En Guard!" Bruce yells. Bruce had been en captivated by the heroes zoro and robin hood for days now. He turned to his mom "Can we see the movie again tommorow" He pleaded using puppy dog eyes. He was spoiled. His father was a wealthy surgeon, and considered one of the wealthiest men in all of Gotham City. Bruce's grandfather had been a captain of industry when the spires of Gotham were first built, and the Waynes were considered the city's first family. Thomas Wayne, on the other hand, found his calling as a doctor. Bruce's mother Martha, on the other hand, had been a fashion designer before she met Thomas. The press called her a trophy wife, but even Bruce knew better. 'Mabye we will getting it on dvd." Martha constantly worried about Bruce's health and education. She thinks Bruce has asthma so she always makes him read and study and play chess. "Awwww. Where's Alfred.It 's four minutes. He should be back by now." Bruce says looking left and right . Alfred was Thomas's most truted freind. They both fought in the war and Alfred used to work as doctor for the mafia. When the mob killed his wife and threated to kill his daughter, Alfred sent his daughter to Europe and then found work with the Waynes as their butler. Bruce then sees some homeless guy on the floor. " We should give him money.It looks like he needs it." Bruce said. "I don't know. Mabye he will spend it on drugs or alcohal." Thomas said. "or hookers.' whisper Martha. "Please" Bruce said with puppy dog eyes. "Okay. I'll give him fifty dollars." Thomas said. the man jumps up. "Give me your pearls and wallet too." "W..W..What is this." Martha stammered with fear well known. His parents struggle with the mugger in the alley.'Get away from her you monster" Thomas yells.The mugger (who will not be found by police or batman) found shoves Tom back. 'No! Get off me. You can't have it.' Martha said slapping him. The bum grabs mother viciously by the throat and she's choking.Pearls bounce on the pavement.Tom takes a swing at the mugger. "Crazy bastards.' the mugger yells with shock. Mrs. Wayne screamed while the man in black forced her against a wall while her husband was being beaten to death, the image of blood on the attackers knuckles remained fresh in his mind. And in the midst of the horror, Bruce cried."No Dad, he's got a...." Bruce yells BANG!Bruce flinches while blood sprays on his face.BANG!BANG! BANG! Martha gets shot and dies faster because of her weak heart. Thomas gets shot four times and also the brutal beating killed him. They hear the police car coming. He saw as the man run off and tries to kill Bruce but the shot only hits his arm because bruce duck, the bum in running. The boy fell to his knees. He looked at the bodies of his parents. he remebers eariler on in the day.
He watched the television. he stared intently at the news. The big story was about a massive meteor shower in the Kansas town of Smallville. He wondered if he should ask his father if he was going to help those people. They should could use it. He knew that his father would help. He always did. He still watched as a little girl dressed in a pink fairy princess dress was shown crying holding on to her aunt. Anyway that's what the news reports said. The familiy butler entered the room a moment later. He smiled at the boy. He was proud that the child had taken interest of the world's events. This child was not like the others the Butler had work for over the years . He said to himself he cared about others. Something he learned for his parents. Now however it was time for him to leave to the movies with his mother and father. The boy asked if he would keep tabs on the events in Smallville. He promised he would and wished the boy to have a good time with his parents. Then he turned he attention to the T.V. he shook his head it was a shame that child that beautiful was in the middle of hell.
Now Smallville,Kansas was half a world away.
