"Why did you bring us here Crane?" Two-face growled as Crane entered the private lounge of the nightclub. In said lounge were some of Gothams worst criminal minds, Harley Quinn, Penguin, Two-face, Poison Ivy, and The Riddler. All of them sitting impatiently around a table waiting for the host of this little get together to show up. Showing up fashionably late, Crane, who had sent out the invitations, spoke.
"I believe I can solve a problem we all have in common. The Batman." Crane stated with certainty. Everyone laughed thinking he truly had gone mad.
"Yeah right, what the hell are we gonna do to the Bats?" Harley asked. "We gonna find a way to revive Mr. J and have them duke it out again!?" She laughed at the thought of reviving the Clown Prince of Crime.
"That would be very unpleasant Crane." Poison Ivy sighed. "We finally got rid of that meat bag and I'm sure Harley is enjoying her new found freedom. So please tell me that isn't your plan.
"Freedom has been very nice." Harley sighed. "But it is kinda lonely all by myself."
"Oh nonsense dear, I am always here for you. I love you. You're my sister in crime." Ivy wrapped Harley in a hug which cheered her up.
"To answer your question Harley, we will not be reviving the Joker for this plan. He is to stay dead at all costs." Everyone let out a small breath they didn't know they were holding. "I have someone else in mind who is a much better option when it comes to psychological warfare on the bat." Crane chuckled drawing everyone's attention. "Now since you are all here we can begin." Everyone around the table looked over at him. "For too long we have been at a disadvantage against the Bat. Whenever some of us would team up, we would turn on each other and bring about our downfall. In a few night's we will work as one unit to bring down the Bat. If you object or go against your orders then you die." A few of them scoffed at the thought but kept listening. "We are going to split up into groups of two. Each doing something different in regards to Gotham. For instance, my accomplice and I will build a bomb of fear toxin to cover the city. Pamela, you are going to be with me to help make sure we are all immune from the cloud as well as have your plants disperse the dust. Penguin you shall be with Two-face and both of you shall use your gangs to attack the police and kill as many as possible. But before you launch your attack I need both of you to get bombs planted on the bridges surrounding Gotham except for one. Make sure it is a small narrow bridge that is easily defendable."
"Wait, what about me!? Who is my partner!?" Harley pouted feeling left out and really annoyed.
"You my dear will be partnered up with our new friend." When he saw Harley about to talk he continued. "He is on his way, but he doesn't have a place to stay so he will be living with you for now. And before the rest of you open your mouths, he is bringing a militia to provide back up for two-face and Penguin should they need support. Oh and I wouldn't mention anything about the Joker around him, it's a touchy subject." Crane chuckled darkly at their confused faces. "Anyway Two-face and Penguin will start the operation while me and Ivy use the cover of your assault to attack a chemical plant and start work on the bomb. Harley you and your partner will kill off the bat family. Starting with the current Robin and then Nightwing whenever batman decides to call him in."
"How will we find him? Also what is my partner's name!? I wanna know scarecrow!" Harley yelled at him.
"We will use two-face and penguin as bait. They will broadcast their position while you two set up an ambush for the bat and his sidekick. If Two-face and Penguin are caught and you fail to kill either Robin or Batman, then I have the Riddler and Bane on standby to continue attacking the city. Although they will due separate attacks in order to split up Robin and Batman." Crane explained.
"Why don't me and Penguin split up then and have the dynamic duo separate then? Also where is Bane if he is part of this plan?" Two-face spoke up.
"I am rather curious myself as to where that brute is." Riddler finally spoke up.
"Bane is on his way here. Should be arriving in a few days." Crane answered before turning to Harley. "As for this man's name, well, why doesn't he tell you himself?" Crane motioned towards the entrance and everyone looked over.
They saw a man standing at about 5'9 in a full suit of armor painted black with splotches of urban camouflage. The Arkham symbol on the chest plate. His helmet was an ocean blue with light blue eyes. He had ears on the top like the batman and blades on his gauntlets like the batman as well. He had two side arms clipped to his wait along with a loose fitting utility belt. There was a small lump on his back that seemed to open up in the bottom and when they caught glimpses of his wrists they saw a small opening in the shape of a blade.
"You can call me, The Arkham Knight." He said, his voice distorted by his mask.
"What are some kind of batman rip-off?" Two-face laughed as he looked over the Knight.
"No, I am Gotham's reckoning. Here to rip batman off his throne and plunge the streets into chaos." The Knight walked around the table glancing at everyone.
"Ha like all of us have never heard that before. What makes you so sure you can kill the bat?" Penguin glared at him.
"Because I know how he thinks. I know exactly what move he is going to make before he does."
"How do you know that?" Ivy spoke up.
"The old bat and I are good friends. I'm sure he will be overjoyed to see me after so long." The knight chuckled.
"And what will your militia be doing while we fuck up Gotham's streets?" Two-face growled out, not liking that his men will be taking most of the hits.
"My men will be prepping a neutron bomb with a blast radius of 6 miles. Just enough to obliterate Gotham and keep the federal government at bay should they think of interfering." The knight explained as he took a seat next to Harley.
"You didn't tell me about that." Scarecrow narrowed his eyes at the knight.
"Must have slipped my mind then. Just focus on your job and I will focus on mine." The Knight shrugged.
"So when do we execute this plan of yours scarecrow?" Ivy asked.
"In one months' time. That will give everyone enough time to become immune to his toxin and for Harvey's and Penguin's men to plant the bombs on the bridges. As well as allow my men to find a suitable hiding spot for our bomb that will hide all traces of radiation from the batman." The knight answered further angering Scarecrow.
"Hmm seems reasonable, I will get my men on making the bombs. Two-face, yours will place them and set them off when it's time." Penguin stood to leave as well as Two-face.
"You two better stay low until it's time. Let the city rest before the storm hits." The Knights leaned back in his chair putting an arm around Harley who seemed surprised at his action. Ivy just raised her eyebrow at that.
"Contact me when Bane arrives so we can coordinate our offensive." Riddler stated before leaving followed by Scarecrow.
"Um whatcha think you're doing mista?" Harley asked ticked that he would invade her space.
"Hmmm, I believe I am relaxing with my future partner and roommate." The knight answered.
"Roommate? I thought Scarecrow was kidding." Harley groaned.
"Nope, I don't have a place and last I heard you had plenty of room in yours. Just keep your hyenas under control."
"Ha and why should I stop them from chewing you up?" Harley smirked.
"I can always kill them if you prefer." The knight looked over at her causing her to shiver as those blue eyes stared into hers.
"Don't you dare hurt my Babies!" Harley glared at him.
"hahaha don't worry Quinnzel, I won't touch a hair on their bodies. They might even prove useful in this little war." The knight chuckled.
"Well as fun as it is to watch you two banter, I need to start working on an immunity with Scarecrow. Have fun you tow." Ivy stood, hugged Harley and left.
"I didn't know you and Poison Ivy were so close." The knight remarked as they were left alone in their section of the club.
"All girls love flowers Knight. I even have a little garden now that mista J isn't around. You better not mess it up." Harley looked over at the knight who leaned his on the back of his seat.
"I would keep your sicotic boyfriend on the downlow around me jester. You wouldn't like me when I get angry." The knight growled through his mask and Harley swore she saw him glare at her.
"What's your problem with him?" Harley inquired, genuinely curious.
"Maybe some other time Harley." The Knight replied much to her annoyance.
"Hmph, fine if that's how it's going to be." Harley pouted and crossed her arms.
"Let's get going Harls. I'm sure your babies miss you." He stood and held out his hand which surprised her. She smiled softly before taking his hand to be helped up. She was even more surprised when he held the door open for her. Joker had never done that for her, usually letting the door hit her face or making her open the door for him.
As they were walking back to her hideout she couldn't help but send quick glances his way. He seemed so carefree but serious at the same time. They had started talking about trivial things, Harley trying to get knowledge on her mysterious new partner and the Knight just bored. She did notice however that when they were talking he would tense up every time the clown was implied. 'What are you hiding from me mista Knight?' Harley thought before they came upon her hideout.
"Babies! Mommy's back and she brought a new playmate!" Harley called as they entered the abandoned warehouse. The two hyenas instantly ran towards Harley who dropped to the ground and started petting them while they let out happy barking and licking her face. "Bud, Lou this is the Arkham Knight. He will be staying with us for a while. Arkham knight these are Bud and Lou. My babies." Harley hugged her hyenas as they panted happily.
"Hello there you two, now Harley where will I be sleeping because I am going to go to sleep."
"Well we have a couch you can sleep on unless you wanna share the bed with me, bud and Lou." Harley pointed to a couch over off to the side and a bed towards the back with a curtain blocking it from view.
"I will take the couch." The knight made his way over and laid down getting in a comfortable position.
"Aren't you going to take that armor off?" Harley questioned. She had been very curious about his face and wanted to know what was behind the mask.
"We may be partners Harley, but you haven't earned enough trust for me to sleep without it comfortably. Goodnight Harley, sweet dreams." Was the Knights only reply before he turned away from her and seemingly falling asleep.
Hope you enjoyed it. So anyway for any person who is going to rip me a new one for any and all mistakes, I am using things from multiple universes and making the characters kinda OC. That's why this is in the batman section and Not Arkham Asylum section. I am not an expert on batman. Most of my knowledge come from the dark knight trilogy which I am using that version of the city. But the criminals all look like they do in the Arkham knight game. Same with the knight. If I made any mistake kindly let me know what it is and I will fix it. Don't flame me if something is wrong. I am just a humble writer looking to express my ideas. Anyway reviews of all kinds are welcome except flames. If you don't like it please review and let me know why. It helps me mold the story to your liking. That being said I did use a lot from the dark knight rises with the bomb and bridges and even banes dialogue. Hope you enjoy it.
