Bruce slowly shut the door behind him. When the door clicked shut, he stopped in his tracks, and sighed as he pinched and rubbed his forehead with one of his hands. He thought about everything Phoenix had said, and he was worried beyond belief. After taking another deep sigh, he ran his fingers back, and through his hair as he began walking to leave the hospital.
As he was walking down stairs to the lower floor, he could hear the voice of an angry-sounding man arguing with one of the nurses. As he reached the lower level, he slowly and quietly edged around the doorway of the staircase as he peeked out to see what the fuss was about. There was an older looking man leaning over the counter, and almost in the nurses station window, yelling loudly at the nurses, "I know she's here!" he shouted, "I know she is, you can't hide her from me!" he shouted.
Bruce kept his gaze on this man; he got a very bad vibe from him. Slowly he inched his way over to the man, as he heard him continue to go off into a rage at the nurses. When Bruce was merely a few feet away he spoke up, "Excuse me, sir? Is there a problem?" he asked him in a loud voice - but as calmly as possible. He knew it wasn't his business, but the vibe this man was giving off was unsettling to Bruce. To him, it felt like he was dealing with men that he had to face every night - the scum of Gotham. It was the plus-side of being the Batman, being able to pick up on people who were evil.
The man immediately turned his head and glared at Bruce. His expression and his overall appearance gave Bruce more reason to think he was up to no good. He was an older man, probably in his late 40's or early 50's; he had dark brown hair that was long and slicked back - and very greasy looking. He had a goatee and deep dark circles under his eyes, a hooked nose, deep wrinkles and an angry scowl that was basically engraved into his face. His eyes were dark, almost black, and in them Bruce saw a broken, evil man. His clothes smelt of alcohol and smoke - which was an all-black suit that looked worn-out, his shirt was slightly unbuttoned which revealed a jailhouse-looking tattoo that ran up the front of his neck about an inch.
"What the hell do you want?!" he shouted at Bruce.
Bruce clenched his jaw slightly from this man's reaction – he already didn't like him, and his attitude was making it even worse. "What seems to be the problem, why are you going off on these women?" he asked.
"It's none of yer damn business, ya bastard!" he shouted at Bruce as he turned his whole body to face him, bobbing his head as he shouted.
"Listen, you need to calm down—" Bruce tried to keep his cool, but the man lunged forward at Bruce as he shouted "I don't need to do sh*t!!!" he roared as he threw a punch at Bruce. Bruce immediately threw his head backwards to avoid the blow and quickly jammed his hand up, gripping the man's wrist as he pulled him and maneuvered his arm behind him, restraining him as he pushed him down onto the ground. The man roared in anger, "GIT OFF ME!! GIT YER HANDS OFF ME!"
"I will let go of you when you calm down and act like a reasonable man!" Bruce ordered as he slightly pushed down onto the man, making it clear that his strength was greater than his.
The man groaned in defeat, and Bruce let his grip on him go, letting the man get up. He pushed himself up as he shot Bruce a death-glare, panting heavily out of anger. He then turned to the nurses as he pointed at them, "I'll be back!" he hissed at them. "You best believe I will be back." He stated as he gave Bruce one last glare while he exited the hospital.
Once he had left, Bruce turned to the nurses, "Are you all alright?" he asked.
"Yes. He didn't touch us or anything." The secretary answered in a shaky voice.
"What was he so upset about?" Bruce asked.
The nurse hesitated at first, but sighed as she answered, "He was demanding to see a patient here." She explained.
"But we aren't allowed to give out information to strangers, where they are all minors here."
"Who was it?" Bruce asked.
The nurse sighed, "We aren't able to tell you that… but we're going to contact the police about it, so don't worry."
Bruce nodded, slightly disappointed, because the person who came to his mind was Phoenix. He couldn't help but feel like it was her this man was after.
