The Flash: War

(I hope you enjoy this beginning of this story which I was asked to write and I will do my very best to give it the strength it deserve… please enjoy)

Unlikely Alliance:

The sound of the dripping pipes and the and chattering of mice echoed throughout the warehouse, a shadow made it's ways through the upper levels, eyes glowing blue as it scanned the darkness carefully.

"Hehehe we have a flying rodent infection Harley" the sound of a sadistic voice echoed throughout the warehouse.

Another voice replied soon after "I know sweetie… well don't just stand there morons, Kill him!" Harley Quinn yelled and soon 5 men ran towards the Batman who effortlessly retaliated in his strikes, blocking and attacking without effort on his part until Harley and the Jokers henchmen were nothing but a broken bunch of groaning heap of limbs, Batman walked onwards hoping to stop Joker who had recently escaped from Arkham Asylum once again before anyone knew what was happening.

"Damn it… we need to get a new supplier for henchmen Harley, this lot can't stop one man dressed as a bleeding bat even on their best days, if there is anything left of them… finish them off"

"No Problem sweetie" Harley replied flirtingly before shouting through the Mic for Batman to hear "Scram Bats… Mr J does not want you here"

Batman carried onwards placing 2 fingers to his ears "Alfred, Joker is definitely here"

"Would you like me to contact Gordon and let him know?" Alfred asked and Batman shook his head "Not yet, the Joker has something planned"

"Could it have something to do with Bane's reappearance in Gotham?" Alfred asked and Batman continued onwards as he replied "I doubt it, Bane and the Joker have never been one for an alliance"

"Very well Master Bruce… would you like me to contact Barbara for you" Alfred asked.

"No Alfred, Barbara has other plans tonight and besides she can use the break" Batman replied with a smile before darkening again and moving into the next room, the room was round and above him was little coves with seats, it was a make shift arena.

"Oh crap" Batman turned around to head out but the exits closed off from him and the lights switched on, the sudden lights blinded batman for a short while.

Standing on a cove ledge above the arena was the Joker and next to him was Harley Quinn.

"Ladies and Gentlemen… tonight's entertainment we bring you the ultimate fight night you have all been waiting for… Enter Bane!"

Bane jumped into the arena, the floor rumbled beneath the Batman from the impact for Bane's landing.

"Bane… why you working with the Joker?" Batman asked clenching his fists.

"Joker promised me that I can break you Batman!" Bane eyes glowed as he advanced slowly.

"Not this time Bane" He dodged the left jab that Bane sent in his way and retaliated with a right hook to bane's face but it had no effect, Bane gripped Batman's shoulder and threw him into the wall.

"Master Bruce… Your vitals spiked, are you alright?" Alfred called into his ears.

"Bane… he's stronger, my punch did not even affect him" Bruce got to his feet, his suit slightly dusty and his cape slightly torn.

"I'm calling Commissioner Gordon… get out of there" Alfred ordered.

"Not yet… Batman replied as he rolled from Bane who charged at him and hit the wall instead, the impact made Bane dizzy clutching his head and Batman sent rapid fire punches to his opponent but they were having no affect still.

Last time Batman went against Bane, even with the titan in his opponent's body Batman knew his attacks would hurt Bane but this was different, nothing was working.

"Woo Hoo this is quite a show… Harley my dear why don't you go help Bane out" and with that Joker kicked Harley into the ring.

"I don't need your help clown, once I break Batman… I will break you!" Bane growled out as he had Batman suspended off the floor with one hand around his neck.

Batman gasped for breath as he reached to the button on his belt and flipped the switch and a small Bat shaped device slid along his belt and he grabbed it, slowly his world was dimming, he needed to do whatever he was planning to do, he needed to do it now and with one final effort he dug the device firmly onto the back of Bane's neck.

"What is that?" Bane asked tightening his grip.

"B-B-Backup" Batman gasped out as soon swarms of Bat came smashing through the door, Harley shrieked in fear as the Joker laughed louder grabbing her shoulder, Bane released Batman who fell to his knees gasping for air as Bane reached behind him for the device.

"See you Bats… and Bane, meet me in central for the Party hahaha!" Joker laughter faded away as Batman watched Bane crush the device and the swarms disappeared but Batman had disappeared by then, using the swarms as a distraction.

"Until next time Batman" Bane smirked before heading away into the night.
