[Western Crossover] I Became an Abandoned Building in Gotham

Every Gothamite has had the edgy thought, “Born a Gothamite, die a Gothamite.”

But one perfectly ordinary henchman never imagined that after a workplace safety accident, he'd turn into a... building?

Not a creepy old castle or a grand manor, just an ordinary modern skyscraper dozens of stories tall, standing proudly in Gotham, this international modern metropolis.

Fortunately, it was abandoned. The socially anxious henchman wouldn't have to deal with too many strangers. With that thought in mind, Roderick offered a concerned greeting to everyone who visited the deserted building.

What, someone's trying to jump to their death? No way. What if they become a ghost and try to talk to me?

What, you're trying to hurt someone? I hate criminals more than anything! Get out of my building!

The urban legend about a haunted building spreads far and wide.

At last, it catches the attention of Gotham's biggest claim to fame: Batman.

After investigating:

Batman: I suspect this building is sentient.

Roderick (nodding): As expected of Batman. What amazing deduction!

Batman: It may be an alien invasion.

Roderick: Hey, call me evil if you want, but don't call me an “alien building”!

To become a modern skyscraper worthy of Gotham, Roderick decides to get along with Gotham's vigilantes. After a lot of hard work:

One day, the Robins hear that Batman has gone missing. His last known location: the haunted building Batman expressly forbade them from approaching.

The Robins can't hide their grins as they rub their hands together. “Now that's an opportunity we can't pass up. Guess we have to go.”

Soon, Batman, away on Justice League business, receives a video: a line of colorful little birds happily wobbling through the entrance of a dark building.

“...”

“...”

“Stop! No kidnapping the Robins!”

Former villain's henchman, now an abandoned building x a random lucky local superhero who falls in love with the building

Morally gray protagonist, secret mastermind, a little bit of Chuunibyou-style delusion. He's really not human, in two senses of the word.
