Heroes From Another Universe Volume 1: A Hero's Journey in Gotham

Chapter 4

"I agree," Shoto said. "I thought it was really well done."

"It was definitely worth seeing," Raven said. "I don't usually like action movies, but this one was good."

"It really was," Jon added. "I'd definitely recommend it to people."

"Yes, I would definitely recommend it," Damian said. "It was an enjoyable experience."

Everyone nodded in agreement and exchanged pleased smiles.

"So what should we do now?" Jon asked, looking around the group.

Damian grabs a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and showed the group, "maybe this"

They all look at what the paper said and it was written: "Visit the Armory museum!"

"Why doesn't it surprise me that you would pick somewhere that has weapons in it!"Jon remarked.

"I have to agree with Jon," Momo said, "Why weapons?"

Damian put his arm on Jon's shoulder, "Kent, this was something I was born into remember"

"Okay sure" Jon said.

"I don't really feel like going there," Momo said trutherly

"Yeah same here," Shoto said, "But you can guys can go ahead, Yaoyorozu and myself can go somewhere else"

"Are you sure about that?" Raven asked

"Yeah I am" Shoto said.

"Well let's get going" Damian said, leading the way.

The three of them turned to go, leaving Shoto and Momo alone. Shoto put his hands in his pockets and looked around awkwardly.

Momo cleared her throat and spoke, breaking the awkward silence.

"So...uhm..."Where did you have in mind" Momo asked, looking at Shoto.

Shoto then gave a vague response, "Maybe we could just take a walk around?"

"Sounds good to me," Momo said.

"Then let's go" Shoto said, grabbing Momo's hand.

They both exited the building, heading out towards the streets.

"So....about the problem that we are in" Shoto said.

"That we are in an alternate universe with no idea how to get back to home" Momo said

Shoto nodded. "Exactly."

"So, I'm not sure what our next step should be" Momo said.

Shoto sighed. "I don't either."

Momo then laid her head on Shoto's shoulder. They walked along the street in silence for a few moments, both enjoying the closeness between them. After walking down one road, they turned down another. It was still a nice day out despite the chilly temperature. Momo pulled Shoto into a small alleyway to make out a little bit.

After kissing for a while, they both got up from the ground and walked off again, still holding hands. They continued on until a villain appeared in front of them out of nowhere.

"Well.. well... well... I haven't seen you two in gotham before... and before you say 'well it's a big city,' that is correct but I-" the villain said, then looks at Shoto, "no one in gotham really have two different hair colours that are so equal" he finished.

Shoto gulped and then the villain talked more, "Is it dyed..Or Natural?"

Shoto and Momo both looked at each other, unsure of what to do or how to answer the villain's question.

The villain spoke again, "oh! You both know each other! How cute!"

"It's none of your business..." Momo said.

Shoto then gave his own response, "You don't have to be so rude and ask us personal questions like that" he said, looking straight at the villain.

The villain laughed, "Oh come on, it's fine. And anyway, I am just a villian who wants to take advantage of a young boy like you."

"Don't call me 'boy' or you will regret it" Shoto said with menace in his voice.

The villain stopped laughing. "Oh please, I am just an ordinary villian and don't have to be afraid of anyone," the villain said with a smile on his face. He then walked towards them both, grabbing hold of Shoto by the wrist, "I could have easily overpower you"

"Just Tell Us Who Are You?!" Momo said.

"Wait? You don't know who I am? You must be new around here..." the villain said. He then put his arm over Shoto's shoulder, "My name is Joker."

Both Momo and Shoto looked at each other and nodded.

"Well then," Joker said, "why don't we go somewhere where no one can hear us?"

Shoto then used his ice to freeze Joker's arm.

Joker was confused. "Is this ice? How?" he asked, surprised.

Shoto smirked. "That's for me to know, and for you not to find out..." Shoto said.

"Hah! So smart... I should have known from the moment I saw you that you're going to be trouble for me." Joker laughed, then he grabbed his knock out gas and sprayed it at Shoto. "Sleepy time!" Joker said.

Shoto fell unconscious while Joker was still laughing.

Momo ran up to Shoto, "Todoroki!" she shouted.

Joker then sprayed Momo with his knock out gas and she also fell unconscious. "Oh what a shame" Joker said.

Shoto then woke up in a room tired up to a chair. He looked around, seeing that he was in a dark room. There was only a light bulb above him, illuminating the room. He then sees Momo behind him who's also tied up.

Meanwhile. Damian, Jon and Raven have just finished looking around the Armory museum. As they exited the museum, they were greeted with the sight of a light which was the bat signal.

"I gotta go," Damian said. "Father would probably need me to tag along"

"OK," Jon said. "I'll text you later on tonight"

"Bye Damian," Raven said.

Damian waved goodbye to them as he ran off, heading towards the Batcave.
