It had been a year since I left home, and life outside the mansion was proving to be a challenge, to say the least. Finding work as a mercenary with my Grade F powers proved difficult, but I finally got an opportunity with a group called 'Faceless.' Their masked identities oddly suited my plans as 'Bruce Wayne' and gave me a taste of my future role. Initially, I was the driver, but my skills with vehicles and technology quickly earned me a place as the team's tech expert. Together, we completed missions successfully and efficiently.
During this time, I kept my promise and stayed in touch with my family. They worried about me, but I assured them that I was handling things well. My brother was preparing to take over the Walton company, shadowing officials and learning the ropes. As for Cassandra, she faced challenges in the military but showed resilience and determination.
Despite my training and skills, my team hesitated to let me enter combat, fearing for my safety. However, I sparred with a team member named Dax, whose Grade C powers allowed him to control metal projectiles. With practice, I managed to hold my own against him, earning his respect and approval.
Alfred continued to be my guiding force, running simulations in my mind and ensuring my training remained on track. My body felt well-rested, despite the intense training. Slowly, I mastered a path to push my powers to their limits, but I knew I had much more to learn.
I sensed that my team might allow me to enter combat soon. My skills were improving, and Dax's encouragement was a positive sign. Ryan, our leader, was still protective of my other abilities, but I was confident in my capabilities.
As I reflected on my first year, I knew I was still a rookie, but my potential was vast. With Alfred's guidance and constant support, I was determined to become the caped crusader the world needed. The journey had only just begun, and I was excited to see what the future held for 'Bruce Wayne' and the hero I aspired to become.
