You know how they say, the minute you walk out of the door everything changes?  Consider my door from the elevator.  The minute I got out to the lobby a couple was heading out to leave when they spotted me.  The lady, who was wearing a nice, black evening dress, asked for a picture which her husband took.  I assured the husband, "No jealousy."  Even when she said, "Love you." to me, I assured him again, "No jealousy."  I will tell you I started very late.  Boston traffic after all.  As I left the garage area, I saw something suspicious nearby.  I went to investigate.  It was a bunch of kids have fun, with one of them being way too excited.  I told him to stay cool, & all of them to be safe.  As I was at Faneuil Hall area again, there was a slight relief that the jackass dirt bikers were not there, just a giant tow truck hauling a massive truck that broken down.  Let's say popularity got quick right away.  There was this group of young adults spotting me quoting references from the Dark Knight trilogy.  They asked to do a Batman imitation.  I did the iconic quote from the Animated Series when the villain Scarecrow debuted, "I am vengeance.  I am the night!   I AM BATMAN!!!"  They said mine needed work.  I was however worried about a paddy wagon passing by.  I asked the bouncer at Sissy K what was going on. H e insisted that I go & help.  I would've loved to, but I remembered a situation in South Carolina during a domestic dispute when a man in an actual Batman costume (I belief the Nolan Dark Knight trilogy version), & the police pushed him away as a joke.  As much as I want to help, basically being foolish at this point would do me more harm than good.  But I told him, pray that it get's to the point where they will actually have a Bat-signal for me.  As I was heading to Haymarket, I heard some screaming, I went to investigate, but a homeless man quickly distracted me, asking for money.  Hastily, unfortunately, I gave him a cereal bar, & head off to the investigation.  Fortunate, it was some girls having way too much fun.  I will tell you as I checked the club areas.  There were people who basically got excited seeing "Batman," even making up some funny emergencies.  As I was meeting one of the employees in the area, checking if everything was okay, he asked what job I have that I make money in.  TMI JERK, TMI!  As I was passing near the area near the Government Center garage.  A guy asked that if I stared into him long enough, will he turn to stone?  We all know that's Medusa that does that.  I told him a basilisk dragon, one look can kill.  He was spooked, but I told him I don't kill, but if he does something wrong, the look will still intimidate. He promised he'll be good.  As I was heading down, there were three ladies cheering me.  One of them pointed out it was her birthday.  I wished her a happy birthday, went over, & kneeled before her.  The girls thanked me as I walked off.  There was a man who was placing a radio near an area.  When he placed it in different area, I came up to him & asked why he did that.  He said wanted to spread music for the sake of peace.  It was a beautiful gesture, but I wondered if Highway to Hell would basically help in that?  As I went to Dunkin Donuts for my coffee, some people were banging the windows when they spotted me.  Not to create a problem.  I apologized to cashier, & left with my coffee.  As I was by Cambridge Street, there was an old man who was not aware of his senses, crossing the street haphazardly.  I immediately jumped over, & when I made it to an island I yelled, "STOP!"  He did, & awe waited together until it was safe to cross.  I felt good that prevented something that could've been a disaster.  I actually went down a street I was very concerned about when I passed it one time as a civilian.  There was a gentleman's club nearby.  I spotted a police car at the end of another street, but there was something suspicious.  There was a black SUV with tinted windows all around with engine running & the back passenger window open slightly halfway.  Nearby the was a Hispanic woman who had her make-up look so weird, it almost felt like it was done by a first-timer.  It suspicious, but she was on the phone.  I was more worried about the car, but as I looked behind, it had Massachusetts plates.  Yes, it was in an odd position, but there was no way to check it.  Unfortunately I had to leave it be.  As I went on, there a couple of ladies who spotted, s aid hello, & thanked me for what I do.  Then as I reached the corner, there were these two guys, who asked me to get "Robin".  They asked for a picture, then they went a little touchy-feely.  Had to leave.  As I crossed one of the streets, there was a fire engine racing.  One of the people said to me, "Hey Batman!  There's a fire over there why don't you go over & help."  It's amazing how the city of Boston, is developing faith in me, probably more than I deserved.  I went down Otis Street again, & I saw the same suspicious car.  I also saw a security car.  I went to the security officer to explain everything.  For someone who has the job of protection she didn't do a good job.  She was timid, made assumptions, & was very wary when I came up to her, asking for space, even thou I was reasonable distance.  I told about the number of times I spotted it, & I asked her to call the police.  Alexa Bliss can definitely be a better a security guard then the one there (she was also probably about five feet.  Hey, I had to make everything accurate!). As I went for a second mini-lap, I heard a noise down the street.  I went to investigate.  I waited patiently but a passing car distracted me.  As I went she, called, but when I turned around, she said mistakenly thought I was someone else.  The crowd disperse & I went on.  As I went back, a trio spotted me.  We talked & exchanged business cards.    I went to the bouncer & asked what went on earlier.  They said there was someone with a shiv.  He was worried, but I told I knew what I was doing.  As I passed there was a guy calling names, I turned around & he said sorry.  But then he yelled, "Pussy."  It didn't matter who the insult was meant for.  Charged up immediately but as soon as his friends were defensive.  I immediately took control, & warned him to be more respectful to others.  I passed by lady vaping asking her if everything was alright.  She said it was.  As I crossed Haymarket, I noticed there were police cars present.  I had to professional, no time for foolishness.  There were people calling me out & some thanking me.  But I soon saw three people lying on the ground.  I asked if they were alright.  Even thou said he was, I noticed his eyes looked bloodshot.  Knowing there was a policeman there, I went up to him & told him what happened.  He said he would check it out.  As I went up to the other area, I saw it was getting volatile.  As soon as I heard a woman screaming, "HE HIT ME!!!"  I ran immediately like a bat out of hell.  The bouncers had control & did a good job.  I just stood by just to be ready if I was necessary.  As everything went under control, I noticed one of the antagonists, was standing by alone.  Yes, they had everything under control, they had the right amount in the right area, but leaving one person outside the area sight would have the possibility of retaliation, especially when there were others who were still there during the situation.  I did leave in respect, knowing they had it under control, but asked to probably stand by that person, JUST TO WATCH so there's no trouble, would probably have been wise idea.  Something to look at especially in the future.  But otherwise I handled it well, went to the emergency quickly, let the proper procedures kick in, waited in preparation when necessary, & left when things were in control.  The same thing over at another club.  Watching & waiting.  The thing is not let ego step in.  You're not in the lineup yet, you're the pinch hitter, the relief pitcher.  When the time comes, wait & pick your spot.  The bouncers can do the job, you're there just in case things go out of hand.  Patience is key!  Now as I went, there was a fight that was going on in an area.  The police officer I told earlier was handling the situation.  Yes, the police were there.  But since it was one officer & the other one was way on the other side, I had to stay in stand-by.  It wasn't about ego, with the amount of the crowd there, I was more the look out.  But as soon as I heard some screaming, with one officer breaking up a fight, another on the other, there was nobody covering that area.  I had no choice but to step in.  Fortunately, it was just some people being rowdy.  They took a picture with me, & I was off.  I checked on the officer, & I told him I had his back.  The last one there was a group of people being drunk.  I soon asked if there was anyone sober.  There was.  We had a conversation, one being from New Zealand.  They thanked me & I was on my way.  Damn good patrol!
