In The DC World With A System

At the dead of the night, Thomas is sitting on the reclining chair in the balcony if his penthouse and looked towards the full moon.

One would say he is in a state of daze, but in fact, he is training.

His magic training mostly depends on acquiring different types of magic knowledge, discovering their different uses and getting accustomed to their use.

All these things are something which Thomas can easily do, but the one thing which hinders his growth as a mage is the meditation time.

He doesn't have enough time to meditate or else he would have become a grand mage by now.

Early morning before sunrise or times like full moon night are the times when the energy of the world is at its best. He uses these times to make up for the lost meditation.

Thomas is meditating but it doesn't mean that his guard is down. Only a fool would lower his guard at a place like Gotham.

Not even Superman dares to do it with all his powers, let alone Thomas.

The moment Thomas has entered Gotham, he has gained control of everything in this city without alerting Batman.

Everything from electricity to the camera is under his control. One can say, he held the neck of Gotham and can break it at any moment.

All of this is done by the new A.I. of Thomas, Lisa.

After all, if he wished to be one of the greatest you must have a personal A.I., one which you have built personally.

If not then you can only remain as a cheat who only knows how to copy other works.

Lisa is artificial intelligence, which Thomas had created after he studied the main core of the Skynet. It took Thomas about two years to finally understand everything about the Skynet.

Lisa is something which is built with both Science and magic in mind. It will follow the laws of science but have powers similar to a spirit.

Unlike Skynet which has its main core situated at an island in the Atlantic Ocean, Lisa is carried on himself. It gains its powers from Thomas magic.

As a scientist who believed nanotech to be the next phase of life, the core of Lisa is as big as a small as bottle cap.

Now that Thomas is meditating, Lisa is keeping track of everything around him. It used the nanobots to look at every nook and corner along with the heat sensing spiders scattered around to keep track of people.

Its also possessed its own special life sensing system is based on the heartbeat frequency.

According to Thomas studies, all beings of a specific species have their hearts beat at a similar wavelength. This can be used to distinguish between two different species.

People can use different gadgets to hide their body thermal heat, making them invisible to thermal heat, but if the heartbeat stops then the body cannot move.

The only exceptions are the undead. These are the ace cards of some organization. So he has no way of coming in contact with them.

Thomas hasn't annoyed anyone enough to make them use these things. If they used them to deal with him they will be targeted by other organizations until they have went into hiding.

As for what group is so annoyed by him, it will be revealed later.

At that time, something came gliding through the sky towards them.

This made Lisa vigilant. Normally, she would have dealt with the threat herself, but her master's previous instructions, made her stop and wake Thomas up.

He spoke out loud, "You took your time. I thought you will be here much sooner. It seems the traffic in Gotham is very bad. "

It doesn't take a genius to figure out with whom he is talking to.

A hoarse voice came in reply, " So what do you wish to talk to me about?"

" You should try holding back those punches you throw around in public. It hurts." Thomas replied without turning back.

Batman shifted uncomfortably in his place when Thomas spoke those words.

" How did you discover my identity?" Batman didn't doubt that Thomas has figured out his identity or there won't be that secret message on the letter he sent him.

" It isn't that difficult. You have always been trying to object the presence of Batman, you were a bit too extreme in your interviews.

Then all the techs that Batman uses are too costly for some average person to use. " this point is something that Batman agrees with may be one of the core reasons.

" Above all else, you both came in Gotham at the same time. Your arrival is the biggest reason for me. " he explained three reasons why he was able to discover his identity.

" Your punches are similar to a martial arts expert. I have seen many such people and they are responsible for the safety of my family.

A lazy-ass playboy who have the skill greater than those people and can have knock put power, made me sure you are who you are." Thomas said with a smile on his face.

Although it seems like a simple smile, Batman felt that he was mocking him.

He felt at that very moment, he hasn't taught that boy a lesson yet. He wanted to wreck him so hard that no one can recognise him.

He wished to make him feel as uncomfortable as he is feeling under Thomas gaze. This gaze made him feel like he knows all his secrets.

Then he remembered something about Thomas.

" So did you deal with those who attacked your family?" Batman asked him.

It isn't a secret. Almost everyone worth his salt or enough powers in the United States knows about the incident where his family was attacked.

They even know who dealt with the one's related to this.

This isn't a warning to Batman but he is simply stating a fact.

" And, if I dare to?" Batman tried to be strong.

Thomas stood from his reclining chair and walked to edge of the balcony abd looks at the city in front of his eye, " Then I will take away the one thing which is most precious to you." His reply shocked Batman.

He never asked how he will do it or what he is going to do. Thomas eyes said everything.

He doesn't want to overstay his visit and gets to the point. He has a gut feeling, the longer he stays the more difficult it will get for him.

And he has also managed to anger Thomas with his words if that last warning was anything to go by.

" So what do you wish to get from me in order to keep my identity hidden?" Batman finally asked the main reason for coming to his place on Hotel Zeus.
