Season 2 Episode One: Batman and Robin (2x1)

A/N: Sorry about the really short chapter.

Bats fly up into the night and past the full moon. As the bats pass by, a shadow jumps past the moon and lands on his feet on top of a rooftop. It's the Batman. Then another shadow lands next to him. It's Robin. A bunch of criminals jam a bomb into a crate before pushing it into a back of a truck.

"Hurry up! Go! Go!" One criminal orders.

Then Robin jumps down into the middle of the group.

"Really? This is the vigilante? My worst nightmare?" One criminal asks.

"Nooo..." Robin starts, dragging out the word. "I'm the DISTRACTION for your worst nightmare."

Two criminals get their heads bashed together. Everyone turns to look at Batman.

"See?"

Robin kicks a criminal and punches him in the gut. Robin then takes his leg and kicks him in the back of his head. He throws a shuriken at another criminal, knocking him to the ground before doing a flip and landing on his chest, knocking all the air out of him. Robin gets up, but then ducks as he sees a criminal tossed over his head.

"Watch your aim." Robin says.

A criminal starts getting back up when Robin does a spin and kicks him in the chin.

"Don't waste your energy on a spin. You need all the energy you have." Batman suggests, when the truck from behind them takes off with the bomb.

"After him!" Batman orders and grapples up to the top of the building.

Robin follows him and they jump across the rooftops, following the truck.

"We can't keep up with it!" Robin says.

"WE don't have to!"

Batman grapples to the top of a building about a block away and zips across the street before putting the grapple gun back in his belt before pressing a button on his gauntlet before falling back towards the street.

"Batman?!" Robin says.

Batman is nearly at the ground when the Batmobile drives out from behind the corner and Batman lands inside it. He then starts driving down the road, after the truck. They drive around several corners before Batman presses a button on the console and a winch fires out of the front of the Batmobile, and sticks into the back of the truck. Robin then jumps off the rooftop and starts gliding until he lands on top of the truck.

He hops onto the front of the truck and pulls out some spikes from his belt and tosses it under the truck, popping the tires. The Batmobile is then able to slow the truck down to a stop. Batman hops out and goes into the back, finds the bomb, and disarms it. Batman hops out and sees the driver hopping out of the truck before getting pushed to the ground by Robin.

"Sir, can you step out of your vehicle? We'd like for you to take the sobriety test." Robin says.

"Well done."

Robin smiles.

The Batman

Dick goes downstairs in Wayne Manor into the dining room and starts pouring himself some cereal. Alfred walks inside the room, looks at Dick, and smiles. Bruce walks in after his 5-mile run and looks at Dick.

"So which party are we going to crash tonight?" Dick asks.

"Mathew Davis. He's a cannibal, and a murderer. Last night, while we were dealing with that bomb, he went on a date with 28 year old Shelly Wilson, luring her back to his apartment only to kill her. Her body, or what's left of it was found in his apartment."

"That's not pleasant."

"No, it's not. We have to find him before more women are killed. After that, we have to stop the drug trade. I just got word from the commissioner that a new drug is being shipped into Gotham's criminal underworld. Venom."

"Isn't that a poison?"

"It's the name of the drug being shipped into Gotham. We must track it down and destroy it. But first things first: Davis."

"Got it. Cannibal, huh?"

Bruce nods. Dick scrunches up his face.

"Ugh."

The Bat signal lights up the night sky as Batman appears next to the Bat signal. Gordon turns and sees him.

"When are you ever going to say that you've arrived?" Gordon says and turns off the signal.

"What do you need?" Batman asks.

"I'm fine, thanks. How are you?"

Batman stays silent.

"I've got some news on Davis. They're sending an undercover cop to lure out Davis. Montoya. We'll put a tracker on her and when she enters the apartment, the cops will surround the building and the cops will break down the door into the apartment."

"I'll be there."

"What about Robin? He's gotten older since he first arrived."

"He'll be there too."

"And the GCPD will back you up."

Gordon hands Batman a device.

"When that tracker comes online, that's when Montoya's met Davis." Gordon explains.

Batman nods and jumps off of the rooftop and glides away. Gordon watches. Back at the Batcave, Bruce and Dick start punching the dummies and start training.

"Davis isn't a fighter, as long as we're in there, we can easily take him down. But we have to hurry, Montoya can't get hurt." Bruce says.

He hears a beeping from the computer, and the tracker has come online.

"We have to go." Bruce says.

They suit up and drive out of the Batcave as Davis drives Montoya to his apartment.

"Up there. I have a really nice dinner ready." Davis says.

"That seems nice." Montoya says and they go into his apartment.

He pulls out his chair and lets her have her seat.

"I'll be right back." Davis says and leaves the room.

Montoya pulls out a pistol and hides behind the doorway, waiting for him. Davis walks into the room when she points the gun to the back of his head. He puts up his hands and turns around.

"Damn."

He then knocks the gun out of her hand and stabs her in the side with a knife. Batman and Robin break through the windows when Davis grabs her gun and starts shooting at them. Robin rolls and ducks behind the drawers when one bullet hits the drawer and a bunch of wood sparks out from the shot.

Batman throws a Batarang but Davis ducks, and points the gun at Montoya's head.

"Stay back!" Davis warns and knees Montoya in her side and blood oozes out. She yells in pain.

"Let her go. You're cornered. Either way you go to jail."

"...shit!" Davis yells and fires at Batman.

The bullet hits Batman in his symbol, he falls to his knee, he groans, before standing up straight again. Davis' hand shakes, when a whip wraps around the gun and pulls it from his hand. Catwoman pulls the whip to her and grabs the gun.

"Cat got your gun?" She asks.

Davis pushes Montoya to the ground and charges Catwoman down the hall with his knife. Catwoman kicks Davis in the chin and pushes him to the wall as Robin charges and punches him across the face, knocking him out. Robin then looks at Catwoman.

"Cat got your gun? Really?"

"Quiet, birdie."

Montoya is then wheeled into an ambulance as Gordon watches this with Batman standing next to him.

"She'll be okay." Gordon says. "Well, you got him. Though this partnership is shaky. Assault won't go over well. But I AM the commissioner. I'll do what I can."

"What about Venom?" Batman asks.

"Venom was shipped into Gotham tonight, and now half of Gotham's underworld has the drug."

"I promise you, Jim. Me and Robin will get rid of this drug."

"I trust you, Batman. But there's something else. More crime is coming into Gotham, I know. But the Penguin, Oswald Cobblepot has gotten out of jail."

"But he had 15 years of jail time."

"I don't know why, maybe he paid his way out, I just don't know. But he's up to something. I know he is. You have to find out what it is."

"I will, Jim."

"Here's the address to his penthouse:"

Penguin walks into his penthouse and sits on the couch when Batman appears behind him.

"What're you planning, Cobblepot? How did you get out of jail?" Batman asks.

"Nothing. I truly want to be reformed."

"Tell me the truth."

"I can have the police here in seconds for breaking and entering. Plus, I already have an ankle bracelet and I just want to have a new chance at life. I regret what I did to Wayne, and this is my redemption." Penguin states.

Batman slowly backs up out of the room and disappears into the shadows. Penguin lets his breath out when he turns and sees another shadowy figure.

"Batman?" He starts.

The shadow takes a step forward. He looks like Batman, with his ears, but he's wearing all black, like a military suit.

"Wrong, Cobblepot. I know you want him dead...so do I. And you're going to help me kill him." The shadow states.
