Steve wished he could get away from it all and take a break from pretending....
Steve got what he wished for... in the worst possible way.

You wanted a fresh start.
What you get is the past, waiting for you under a different sky.

Summary
When the bat first took to the night he was a cryptid.
Something whispered about in hushed tones, his name never spoken aloud during the night for fear of summoning him. Mothers in desperate attempts to control their children would use him as a threat, behave or The Bat will come for you.
Then time passed. Little by little, the gothamites learned, The Bat wouldn’t harm them. He was their protector, fighting against the criminals and rogues of the cursed city. Still not entirely human, sure, no human would be insane to do what he did every night. No human capable of what The Bat was capable of. However, not something for the average person to fear.
That’s when the offerings appeared.
Small trinkets left on windowsills, sometimes with notes, sometimes without. Offerings ranging from the superstitious to the practical. A couple coins, a home baked good, a protein bar. All of them though were offerings to The Bat, to get on his good side, to guide him in his efforts to protect the city.

Responsibility? Questionable.
Moral compass? Flexible.
Criminal intelligence? Concerningly impressive.
And yet, somehow, a hidden cave and a missing ring decide to drag them into the same mess.
Which is unfortunate for Teddy.
And significantly more unfortunate for everyone else. -
