The next day Police came to their mansion and they talked about the case with Alfred. Gillian Loeb had also appeared to give his condolences and talk about the report.
"We have been investigating relentlessly but we have found ourselves at a roadblock in our investigation". Loeb leaned forward a bit while he talked.
"And what are the roadblocks?" Bruce spoke from the side like an adult.
Loeb looked at Bruce for a second but then he looked over at Alfred for his opinion because he was the legal guardian of the two young Waynes.
"We know that it's an assassin organisation but there are plenty of them to pinpoint the accurate one. We need you tell us some clues if you remember anything". Loeb entwined the fingers of both hands together in front of them and looked at them seriously.
"I was slightly away at that time to call the Police but Master Bruce and Master Alex were still there but I would like you to not force them". Alfred said while he looked back at Loeb from where he was standing.
"Absolutely, are you able to tell anything Mr Wayne". Loeb asked politely. Even though Bruce and Alex were young but the whole Wayne enterprise were in Bruce's name after Thomas. So he didn't want to be rude to a potential powerhouse.
Bruce held his head for a while because the images of the incident flashed in his mind and bought out the sorrow and unpleasantness of the situation back to him. He took a deep breath to calm himself and looked back at the Police Commissioner.
"I only remember seeing someone use a curved blade to slash at my parents. The guy was wearing some black suit and I could only see the sword". Bruce replied calmly after regaining his composure.
"We can work something out with this lead. Most Assassin groups have a specialised weapon that they use. So we might be able to figure something out". Loeb bowed on more time in thanks to the three for the help and took his leave with his entourage.
There was a couple of police officers stationed outside the mansion for protection or any unusual activity. It was still heat of the incident and GCPD didn't want to mess anything up.
The police started to up their investigation with the new clues that they had just received from Bruce and got to work.
——Scene Change——
"Sir, the Gotham Police department is hot on our tails". An assassin informed Ra's. They had received some intel from the insiders.
"Inconsequential, tell the ministers under us to handle it". Ra's waved his hand without a care and continued his meditation.
The assassin kneeled and bowed his head before he disappeared in a blur.
——scene change——
"Master Bruce, Master Alex, are you sure about this?" Alfred asked, he had some worry in his voice.
"Yes Alfred, please start the car". Bruce nodded and Alex just accompanied them without saying anything.
They were currently going to visit Wayne corporation's building as Bruce wanted to survey the building and look through some files.
He had the whole Wayne Enterprise under his name and could take command at any time. No one could oppose his decision but he wasn't going to do that just yet.
He wanted to meet one of the trusted confidantes of his Father, Lucius Fox. They couldn't even hold a funeral becausr his parents' bodies weren't even found.
Before they could be declared legally dead, Bruce wasn't willing to hold a funeral. Heck, he wouldn't hold a funeral until he saw their bodies with his own eyes. He just wanted to make sure and not be impatient.
Alex also agreed with this train of thought because he had them inside Avalon. It wasn't unlocked yet and he couldn't access it but he could take a look inside. He also had a passive healing factor that wasn't as Strong as Sabre but it will be when he unlocked it.
'Bruce still hasn't gone down that old well. After this meeting with Lucius Fox. I might have to direct him a little'. Alex pondered in his mind.
They quickly arrived at the behemoth of a tower that was Wayne corporation's building. They disembarked and took a lift to Lucius Fox's office.
"Welcome to my lab, Master Bruce and Master Alexander". Lucius bowed a little. He greeted them with etiquettes.
"The pleasure in ours". Both Bruce and Alex greeted back while they sat down on a couch.
"You have my condolences for the incident". Lucius expressed his sorrow and it was visible on his face. He was either a very good actor or he was sincere.
"Please don't mention the incident". Bruce said in a strained voice because he still wasn't fully over it yet.
"I want you to help me monitor some people in this building". Bruce quickly put his IQ on the run and started to formulate some plans with Lucius to make sure that he could do a smooth takeover in the future.
Alex had to admire Bruce's brain. He was just 8 years old but his brain ran like a bullet train when he truly focused on something.
'In my previous life, they had nerfed him quite a bit. He is the second most intelligent human after Lex Luthor and his IQ was said to be either 192 or 1045'. Alex thought while he heard the conversation between Lucius and Bruce.
"Alright, I will take my leave now but the next time we meet, get ready to put the plan in action". Bruce got up from the seat while taking Alex's hand and started walking away.
Alfred followed them out and prepared to go back to the manor. Their little visit or excursion was finished and Alex's young body also needed rest.
Getting back, Alex went back to his room to distract himself with some cartoons. 'This visit was not a good thing. It bought back some unpleasant memories'. He sighed inwardly and just focused on the TV in front of him.
'Only thing I can do now is to guide Bruce to the old well and the Bat lair. That's how everything will start'. Alex thought, he started to doze off slowly and slept in his bed comfortably.
