Three miles away from the Gotham Gold Reserve, the old Gotham High School sat empty and rotting.
The perfect place for the Joker to set up shop.
Having once again busted out of Arkham Asylum, Joker assembled a small crew so that he could enact his latest scheme: steal all of the gold in the Gotham Gold Reserve so he could melt it down into a giant statue of himself.
In the school's main office, he spoke to two of the villains he got to help: Killer Frost and Solomon Grundy. He had wheeled up a rolling blackboard with the gold reserve drawn on it. Joker had told the third villain to wait in the hall: he wanted to surprise the other two.
"OK, class." Joker said. "Today's field trip is to the Gotham Gold Reserve. Our souvenirs: all the gold in the vaults. Mister Grundy, what is your role?"
"Carry gold out!" Grundy answered.
"Excellent Grundy! You get a happy sticker!" Joker said. "Miss Frost, your roll?"
Killer Frost sighed at Joker's act. "Freeze any hostages." She said, annoyed.
"I would have liked a little more enthusiasm, but you get a B for a right answer at least." Joker replied. "Now, before we head out, we have a new student in our little class. I expect you to play nice with her. You can come in now!"
The office door opened and the third villain walked in. Or rather, squeezed in. She had long orange hair, cat ears, was covered in brown fur with black stripes on her cheeks, and wore a tight, dark purple body suit with a light purple hip/thigh area, a silver corset-like object and gold circles on it, especially on her breasts.
And they were some impressive breasts. Each one was equal in size to a yoga ball. Despite the size, they kept a round, firm shape. They bounced with every step the woman made.
"Class, meet Ms. Nina Dowd, aka The Mighty Endowed. She's got a degree in archeology, a knack for megalomania, and a rack that'd make wine cellars jealous. But those tata's aren't just for show. She shows 'em off, and men are hypnotized! Literally!" Joker said.
"How are you standing?" Frost asked. "Those things must be heavy."
Mighty Endowed pointed to the silver device. "Anti-grav brace." She said. "Keeps me standing."
"How will cat lady help?" Grundy asked.
"I wish people would stop calling me that." Mighty muttered.
"Mighty here will use her 'headlights'," Joker said with air quotes "to hypnotize men. Unfortunately, Mighty's high beams have no effect on women, so have fun figuring that out, rackzilla. Once we get to the gold vault, Zombie Boy, Living Freezer and I will crack the safe like an egg, we all swipe the gold, everyone's hunky dorey."
"And if the Bat or any other hero show up?" Frost asked.
"Then you get a little 'Extra Credit'!" Joker said with airquotes.
"And the hostages?" Mighty asked.
Joker put his finger to his chin. "Ignore 'em. They won't have a purpose when we're done." He replied. "Now, if there are no more questions, everyone to the bus! Make sure you have your permission slip! HAHAHAHA!"
As it turns out, Joker was right that everything would be "hunky dorey". Arriving at the Gold Reserve (in a beat-up school bus), Grundy had smashed the doors open. Before the guards or anyone else could even react, Mighty hypnotized the men with her "headlights", and made the men restrain the women, keeping the hostages out of the way. The group then marched to the gold vault, where Frost started to freeze the vault so Grundy could smash it to pieces, and any part she didn't freeze, Joker sprayed with acidic Silly String. The vault opened easily, and, after grabbing a few rolling carts, the group started piling the gold in and taking it to the bus (though Mighty, feeling a bit cheeky, undid part of her costume and stuck a few gold in her cleavage).
"Excellent outing everyone!" Joker called as they started loading the gold. "I'd say you all get top marks! Though there is one last thing we need to do. Frost, mind helping me a bit?" On that, he pulled out ten boxes wrapped like party gifts. He then walked back into the gold reserve. Mighty, wondering what he was doing, followed him.
Inside, Joker started placing the boxes in front of the hostages while Frost was freezing them in place. The whole time, Joker was grinning wider then he was earlier.
"Um, what are you doing?" Mighty asked.
"Leaving our lovely hostages with parting gifts. I'm sure it'll be a GAS!" Joker answered.
Confused, Mighty walked up to a box and put her ear to it. She heard a ticking sound. Her eyes went wide.
"You're going to blow them up?!" Mighty asked, horrified.
"Not blow them up, my dear. Too messy. Joker gas. It'll make sure they die with a smile." Joker said. "At any rate, why do you care? You're a baddie, too."
"You didn't say you would kill them!" Mighty yelled.
"I didn't?" Joker asked. "Frosty, did I mention I was going to kill these hostages?"
Frost shrugged. "Doesn't really matter to me. These people are useless anyway." She replied. "I say we off them!"
"You're both crazy! They didn't do anything!" Mighty yelled, now upset.
Joker walked up to Mighty and put a hand on her shoulder. "Honey, it wouldn't be a Joker heist without a grinning corpse or two. I have a reputation to keep. Speaking of which..." Joker suddenly reached down a pushed a button on Mighty's brace. The brace shut off, causing Mighty to fall forward from the weight of her massive chest. He then took the brace off of Mighty. "You're expelled!"
Mighty was angry. "You ASSHOLE!" She screamed.
Just then, the glass from above shattered, and down from it came a black clad figure. He landed on the ground, crouching, and looked up at the Joker.
"Batman!" The Joker exclaimed. "Great timing. My students were just about to receive an extra assignment. Grundy! Frost!"
Grundy ran into reserve and saw Batman. Grundy yelled and charged at Batman while Frost fired an ice beam at him. Batman leaped over Grundy, causing the ice beam to hit Grundy instead. Batman then threw a bolo at Frost, tying up her arms. Grundy broke out of his ice and, turning, started swinging wildly at Batman. Sliding under Grundy, Batman stuck an electric Batarang on his back, shocking him into unconsciousness. Meanwhile, Frost had frozen and broken the bolo and was firing another ice beam at Batman. But he was ready. Tossing a smoke pellet, he blinded Frost and then tossed another pellet at her. It exploded, encasing Frost in solid foam from the neck down.
During this, Joker had run off deeper into the reserve. Batman turned to chase him.
"Batman, wait!" Mighty yelled. "Those boxes! They'll kill the hostages."
Turning to look at the boxes, Batman raced over to the boxes, grabbed them, and piled them up. Then, he threw another expanding foam pellet at them. The boxes were incased in solid foam, preventing them from exploding. Satisfied that the hostages were safe now, Batman raced off to find the Joker...
...only for the Joker to run right back into the main room, with the can of Acidic Silly String and Mighty's brace in his hands.
"Oh Batman!" He yelled. "You're expelled from life!" He then tried to spray the string, but the can was luckily empty. He frowned. "What lousy timing." He then got a smoke pellet and a fist right to the face, courtesy of Batman.
Satisfied that the Joker was stopped again, Batman picked up the anti-grav brace and walked over to Mighty. Kneeling down, he placed the brace back on her and turned it on. Mighty stood up, stretched out her back, and was instantly put in handcuffs.
Mighty looked at the foam encasing the boxes. "Are you sure that foam will hold?" She asked Batman.
"It has the consistency of concrete." Batman replied in his gruff voice. "It will hold, Ms. Dowd."
Mighty looked at The Dark Knight. "How do you know-" She started to ask.
"Your name?" Batman finished for her. "Research. Ms. Nina Dowd. Professor of Archeology. You were at a dig site when you were wrapped in a cocoon. When released you transformed into your current form. You then set out with intent to do harm."
Mighty frowned. "You're right. I did want to be evil. That's why I'm here. But seeing Joker casually try to kill those hostages..." She said.
Batman frowned. "I'm taking you back to your last prison. I'm going to have STAR lab scientists see if they can fix you." He said.
Mighty shook her head. "They tried already. Many times. But apparently, science can't undo change by magic. All this," She said, referring to her ears, fur, and giant chest. "Are permanent."
Batman said nothing, and just looked at the door. Mighty suddenly heard sirens. Batman walked over to pick up the unconcious Joker, then led her outside, where two police van was waiting. He opened the back doors, placed the Joker inside, shut the doors, then led Mighty to the other van, where he had her get in. After shutting the van doors, he then walked over to Gordon, who had just gotten out of his car and was watching policemen carry Frost and Grundy (or were trying to move Grundy).
"How Joker got Grundy, Frost, and Dowd out, I'll never know." Gordon said.
Batman nodded. "I want you to keep an eye on Dowd." He said. "And see if there are any rehabilitation sessions she can attend."
"Even with all the crazies you fight, you still hope some can turn their lives around, huh?" Gordon asked, turning to look at Batman. But all Gordon saw was the empty spot where Batman was. "Someday, I'll turn around, and he'll still be there."
