He landed on a rooftop in the downtown area and looked around. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen," he said to no one in particular, "my name is Duncan, and I shall be your hero this evening. How may I serve you?"
He then put on his headset, being grateful that his genius brother, Colin, had though to modify his old goggles so they could provide information and enhance his imperfect vision. The attached ear piece could scan all police radio broadcasts within a 30 mile radius, and his goggles themselves could display maps of the city, provide infrared and night vision, and act as binoculars. "I am ready to take all requests."
He looked back at his vehicle: a living, turtle shaped vessel that could take several forms, including those of a hovercraft, fighter jet, or a giant, city destroying monster. He had to remember to thank his father and uncle for making that for him. The turtle, GameGo II, looked at Duncan expectantly, as if to say, "I'm ready, too."
Duncan turned back to the city. He had everything he needed. He walked to the edge of the roof and looked down. He was still nervous, but if he should fail the task given him, it would be another six months of training. He could not allow that. He closed his eyes, and prepared to leap off, knowing GameGo would catch him...
... When he sensed a presence behind him. Without turning around, he addressed the stalker cordially.
"Good evening, Mr. Batman."

GameGo: (Ga-MEH-go) A play on Gamera, the giant turtle monster from Japanese films, GameGo is Duncan's pet. It's name can be translated to "Turtle-Go"
