Helena Wayne | The League of Shadows (Post TDKR AU) Part 2

Please watch in 720p HD! :)

********************************************************************

This is a continuation of Helena's story, beginning where the last video left off.

She's made her way into Asia, where she eventually runs into trouble and is arrested and thrown in prison. While there, a man comes to visit her who knows her identity, and promises there is a way for her to find justice for her family. He gives her the same quest as he gave Bruce at the beginning of BB, and she takes it, eventually leading her to join the League with Ra's al Ghul (he's immortal in the comics, so I'm going with that here) as her mentor. As she trains, he can't stop comparing Helena and Bruce to each other, and notices how similar they are. Though it worries him, he continues to train her. She learns that she has an older half brother -- Damian Wayne, son of Bruce and Talia al Ghul. (Honestly, it could've happened. There were 8 years inbetween TDK & TDKR, and it seemed like Bruce & Talia/Miranda knew each other before TDKR, so I'm going with that). They bond and vow to stick together. Ra's finally notices a difference between Bruce and Helena when it comes to their rage. Bruce wanted to seek justice while Helena is only concerned with revenge. This surprises but pleases him, and he grows to realizes she is his greatest student because she can do what Bruce never could -- she can do what is necessary. She proves him wrong, however, when she saves one of her friends from being killed on Ra's orders. Displeased and angered by this, he knocks her unconscious and throws her in the pit, where he leaves her to rot, like Bane did with Bruce. While there, the same doctor who tended to Bruce offers her wisdom and insight on why she should fear death, which she takes to heart. Meanwhile, back in Gotham, about 3 years have passed since her death, and Bruce has become Batman once more, much to Alfred and Selina's dismay. Selina and Bruce grow apart because of losing their only child. Alfred confronts Bruce and tells him that he had a life beyond Batman. Bruce responds by saying that Helena was his life, and now she's dead. Alfred then reveals that he believes she is still alive and it was all an elaborate plot by the Joker to get him back in the suit. Upon realizing that Alfred is probably right, he goes and finds Selina to tell her Helena's alive.
