Drabble requests

[winter]

I'm stuck, stuck, stuck on the Van Helsing things.

Time for a kick start.

Give me a fandom and either a character, a pairing, an item, a title, or all of the above. Get a 100-word drabble in return.

No Van Helsing for obvious reasons, and also no CLAMP. Otherwise anything I'm vaguely familiar with is fair go. This includes Coldfire, Underworld, V for Vendetta (comic) and anything up to and including Night Watch (Russian version).

First 10 will get written today.

EDIT: *sweatdrop* 6 requesters so far, 4 of which want pr0n. Um. People?

Well, given who taught him, that'd be an "Oh, yes."

And no, I haven't forgotten about it, just been really lazy ^^;


TRUTH AND THE BAT

The cave is vast, humid, full of shadow. Dispersed light falls through cracks in the stone, throwing every edge into shimmering softness.

Something flutters in the darkness, and Bruce knows it cannot be real. This is Dagobah, not the city-planet of Gotham, second only to Coruscant in megalopolis sprawl. There are swamp creatures and tree critters, but not the sharp-winged, razor-toothed flying predators of Gotham's night.

In the distance, he hears pearls falling on pavement. There is a lightsaber on his belt. Frozen by fear, he cannot move his hand.

Then he moves the fear, letting it fill him, letting it bond to the circulation of the Force in his veins. Letting it move him in turn, the lightsaber's blade a flash of crimson lightning in the darkness.

A body falls at his feet, cut in two. At first it's a clone trooper, masked and faceless. Then a Twi'lek slaver he'd met on Ord Mantell. Chill, his parents' murderer. Carmine Falcone. His father. Himself.

As he feels the Gotham bat settle on his shoulder, Bruce knows that once he emerges from the cave, the man who was once the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn will smile in approval.

Fear is his ally now, and he is free.

I forgot to mention, in my reply to your post a couple minutes ago, that I like the positioning of the bat as some exotic Star Wars creature.

I was wondering whether or not to pick some other name for a bat and describe it, but then I realised this is the goddamned Batman we're talking about, to paraphrase Frank Miller ;)
