It was late and Wayne had left the Gas Up feeling a little blue. It was his birthday and none of his friends were down to party. Jason said he was busy and everyone else appernetly had lives and no time to get shit faced with Wayne.
"Fuck em." He said aloud to no one as he pulled his car into the apartment parking lot. All the spots in front were full so Wayne pulled to the rear of his building and was forced to park next to the dumpster.
"Smells like a hooker's butthole out here." He complained as he extracted himself from the car.
He made his way to the back entrance of his building when he noticed a faint glow from his back bedroom window.
He was sure he left no lights on and he definitely didn't open the window. But there it was , partially open to the chill night air.
"Intruders!" He whispered excitedly under his breath. "I guess I celebrate the Manbat way."
Suddenly a faint voice drifted down. Something about "getting him" and "he will never see it coming."
He stormed to his car muttering under his breath. "They're gonna get me alright, get my fist in their asshole." He raged on quietly, spitting with excitement. "I'll fuck their asses with my foot."
He popped the trunk on the Ltd and grabbed the duffle containing his suit. He was off behind the dumpster and dropping his drawers and popping his shirt off to get suited up.
"What the fuck?".
The Manbat looked up to see one of his neighbors carrying a bag of trash.
"You fucking pervert, I'm calling the cops."
Wayne was standing more or less naked with his mask over his face and quickly covered his junk with the Cape as he pulled a knock out pellet from his duffle. He flung it at the guy and the cloud enveloped him. He gasped and choked and fell to the ground vomiting and wheezing. He quickly lost consciosness.
"Sorry citizen, but justice must be served." Wayne said as he finished lacing up his boots.
A quick run around the building and the Manbat burst into the stairwell and ascended to his apartment. His front door was slightly ajar and he crept in quiet. He heard more sounds from inside, murmured whispers he couldn't make out. Deciding not to fuck around he kicked the door hard and then charged in fist first. The door made a solid connection with someone and the person fell to the ground. The Manbat stepped on him as he passed. Confused shouts from mutiple people began as Wayne punched and kicked the dark figures within his abode. One was smaller and looked as if they cradled something in their arms. The Manbat kicked the offending item much like a kicker does a football. A wet sticky substance shot everywhere including into the Intruders face. He grabbed the offender and punched hard, dropping the person to the ground. Suddenly the lights went on.
"The lights won't help, I will destroy you all!" Wayne shouted.
He looked back at the door, Jason was standing there bleeding from the mouth and staring in shock at the dark vigilante.
Suddenly realizing things weren't what they seemed Wayne tore his mask off and looked at Jason. "What the fuck, why did you break into my apartment?". Wayne looked over on the floor to see his elderly land lady laying there covered in blood and cake.
Before Jason could answer a shot rang out and The Manbat hit the floor with his hands on his butt.
"Oh my ass is fucked!" Wayne bellowed while writhing on the floor.
Jason had a buddy who was an avid gun enthusiest. With a membership to the NRA and a concealed carry permit the man was never without his trusty .25 automatic pistol. He had pulled the firearm and missed center mass badly, burying the bullet deep in the soft tissue of Wayne's ass.
"What the fuck, Wayne? You're the asshole that's been parading around the city like a crime fighter." Jason exclaimed.
A few days later Wayne was at the hospital recovering and awaiting a court appereance. He had several counts of assualt and menacing facing him. And not just from the encounter at his apartment but from all the other people he had violently beaten as The Manbat. It seemed every hour a new person stepped forward with a story about Wayne. He was also looking at criminal charges for exposing himself and poisoning his neighbor.
The man that shot Wayne was hailed as a hero, the Manbat was not happy about that. To top it off his land lady was evicting him and his cousin that he punched during the surprise party had lead Wayne's family to disown him.
Jason had come to the hospital to check on Wayne.
"You okay man?" He asked the fallen Manbat.
"Yeah" Wayne whinced, "I think I'll be okay."
"Good, because when you get out I'm gonna fucking kill you, asshole." Jason said as he walked to the door. He turned before leaving. "Happy Birthday Manbat."
