Well I would say this is a surprise. Well hopefully some of you will be surprised as this was already hinted at by Sai Kunai Blade. He has worked on a story of similar style with Yang from RWBY fighting alongside Batman in Arkham Asylum. It is a great story and I highly recommend it. However, it came to a point where Sai Kunai Blade gave a challenge to other writers to make their own version of the story but with the other members of either team RWBY or JNPR as the hero to work next to Batman. Well blackheart and I decided to try it out with one of our favorite heroes of the show. Technically our favorite it tied between Ruby and Pyrrha and between the two Pyrrha was the easier pick with both entertainment value and also how she gets there…*bows head*.

Anyway, so here is the first chapter of our new story and luckily, I managed to get it done on my birthday so I'm more than happy with it. So, shout out to Sai Kunai Blade for the challenge and for also letting fans know our story it's coming. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Disclaimer; Blachkeart0009 and I do not own Pyrrha from RWBY nor do I own Batman Arkham series. The closest is the games themselves but I don't think they count.

The Invincible Girl: Arkham Asylum

Chapter 1: Enter the Madhouse

Pyrrha Nikos could not help but wonder how she ended up with her hands cuffed and sitting in the back of a police car. The last few hours seem to be a haze and the young woman was amazed she wasn't mentally exhausted. She remembered what seemed like hours ago the worst day of her life happen. During her matching against Penny she felt she was going crazy with Penny's weapons seeming to multiply before her eyes. Of her panic forcing her to use her semblance to push all the metal away from her. Her horror at the fact her actions killed Penny. She didn't mean for anyone like that to happen and yet it horrified her. Not even minutes after she, Pyrrha had no other words for it, murdered Penny did a massive army of Grimm attack Vale. Her friends were able to help and fight back but then the giant dragon Grimm appeared and worst her plan of a way to help backfired. All she did was cause the death of another and the enemy to gain more power. Knowing she had to do something to make up for her mistakes she faced Cinder alone even with the woman gaining more power. She pushed Cinder back and seem to be winning before the dragon attacked the tower. Pyrrha gave it her all but in the end, she was beaten. She clearly remembered Cinder standing before her with her bow drawn and then pain as the arrow struck her chest. She didn't know what happen after that as everything went black for her.

When Pyrrha woke up she found herself laying in a dirty alleyway. It actually took her a few moments to realize this before she shot up and looked around. The alley itself was dirty and nothing special but she found she was refreshed, unharmed and her weapon and shield lying beside her. Pyrrha felt her chest and saw there wasn't even a scar but she was sure that she was hit by the arrow. Worst was she knew her weapon was damage yet as she held it, it was whole once again. Any first thoughts of someone rescuing her and taking her to safety was quickly wiped from her mind since she knew even if she was rescued she would not have been left in an alley. Pyrrha knew she had died from Cinder's attack but that didn't explain why she ended up in an alleyway.

She took a step out of the alleyway to see a small part of whatever city she was in. She didn't recogniz any of the agricultural from either Vale or Misteral. She doubted she was in Atlas so for all intents and purposes she was hopelessly lost. As she was so focus on trying to figure out what to do she didn't hear someone come up behind until she heard the click of a weapon. "Alright toots, give me your money."

Pyrrha blinked before she glanced behind her to see a man holding a gun at her. "I'm sorry?" She asked confused for a second.

The man scowled before he jerked his gun at her, "you will be sorry if you don't hand over your money."

Pyrrha frowned at him, "I'm afraid I don't have any money on me."

The would be robber scowled before he looked Pyrrha up and down and grinned creepily, "well then maybe you can pay me in a different way. Don't want to get shot do yea?"

Pyrrha frowned at this but didn't show a reaction to his words. She glanced at his gun to his weak looking stance and if she was a more arrogant person she would have been insulted of her attacker. But she tried to settle this peacefully. "If you put away your weapon and leave now, then I won't hurt you."

The man scowled before he decided to stop playing nice. "You have three seconds to get on your knees before I shoot. One…"

He didn't make it to the next number as Pyrrha drew her shield in the blink of an eye and threw it at him. He was hit in the chest and staggered back. He rubbed where the shield hit him before he aimed his gun at Pyrrha who caught her shield. The man tried to fire but suddenly the gun jerked to the side and his gun went off, the bullet hitting the brick wall. He had no time to react when Pyrrha tackled him shield first and knocked him to the ground before she kicked the gun away from him. He tried to reach for the gun but found it suddenly jerk away and landed in a storm drain. Pyrrha then walked away from the man, who was a steaming at how she was treating him like a joke. He got up and flipped open a switch blade. "You ain't going anyway bitch!" He shouted before he turned and charged at her.

But Pyrrha was already facing him with a clearly annoyed look on her face. She grabbed her weapon which extended into a spear. Quick as a flash she spun the spear around before she smacked his wrist, knocking the knife out of his hands before he was hit several times with the pole of the spear or the flat side of the blade. The man was forced to step back as Pyrrha stabbed her spear point near his face before she jerked her weapon down and caught his belt with the blade. The metal sliced through the leather easily before Pyrrha kicked out and knocked the man back, though with his pants falling he ended up tripping over himself. He staggered as Pyrrha pointed her spear point right at his face and he froze, very afraid. Pyrrha stayed like that for a moment before she took a deep breath and pulled her weapon back. She turned but not before she shot him a look and stated, "leave."

The man scrambled to get up, half pulling up his pants half just fleeing in general. Pyrrha sighed before she started walking out of the alley, figuring she's not going to figure anything out by staying here. As soon as she stepped onto the sidewalk she heard police sirens before a patrol car slid to a stop in front of her with the light blaring. The officer got out as Pyrrha placed her sword on shield back into her back, "good evening officer." Pyrrha greeted politely.

However, the officer said to her quite sternly, "ma'am put your hands on your head."

Pyrrha blinked at this but complied with the order. "Is something wrong officer?"

The officer didn't reply as he walked around the car, Pyrrha noticing he had his hand on his weapon as if ready to draw at any moment. Once he was close enough he retrieved a pair of handcuff from his belt and walked towards her. Pyrrha was surprised when the officer took her hands and cuffed them behind her back. "I don't understand. Did I do something wrong?"

After cuffing her the officer removed her weapon and shield before leading her towards the car. "Got a call of gunshots and you came out of the alleyway carrying a dangerous weapon. I'm taking you in for assault and carrying illegal weapons."

Pyrrha blinked as she was placed inside the car. She couldn't say anything for her defense since she was simply stunned at the charges. But as she listened to the officer over the radio as he called into the station she started to believe she wasn't anywhere close to home. The officer started the car and began to drive when the radio came to life. "All units, report to Gotham City Hall. The Joker has been apprehended. Batman is now on route to Arkham Island."

"Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear," the officer said, turning a corner and driving off with his lights going.

Pyrrha however was confused, "I'm sorry officer but who is Joker? Who's Batman?"

The officer glanced at her from his mirror, "you must be new in town."

Pyrrha nodded and the cop shook his head out of pity, "I'm sure you'll find out soon enough."

Pyrrha frowned as she took a look out the window to see them starting to go out of the city, "where are you taking me?"

"Arkham Asylum," the officer explained. "The commissioner wants to see you there. We don't want anymore trouble tonight."

Pyrrha frowned but didn't say anything since she felt it might make her situation worst. She did however noticing something in the sky. It was the end of a spot light but in the center was the shadow of what looked like a bat. Pyrrha wasn't sure what it meant but she figured she would learn soon.

She watched as the car drove over a bridge with trees lining each side of the road. Pyrrha actually blinked when they pass a sign stating "Arkham Asylum" and a smaller one under it stating, "warning: hitch hikers may be escaped patients".

"That seems rather rude," she muttered to herself, seeing no reason why such a sigh should be placed.

Pyrrha then notice they passed through a black iron gate with two statues holding lanterns on either side. Then Pyrrha got her first glance at this Arkham Asylum. There was one large building that looked like a Gothic clock tower, a smaller building not far away and even the building that appeared to be a garden. However, this place gave off a dangerous vibe to the young huntress-in-training that brought her on her guard. That was then did she notice a large number or people on the grounds. From their weapons and uniforms, it told Pyrrha that they were actually guards patrolling the grounds. The question to her was however why an asylum needed so many guards. Pyrrha has a bad feeling about this place.

A few minute later the officer took Pyrrha out of the car and walked into one of the buildings. She was surprised seeing the large metal doors at the front with large sliding locks to keep it secured. Pyrrha wondered if this really was an asylum and not a maximum level prison.

Several guards were there, including on that had a hook for a hand, as well as a short, aged man wearing a black business suit, red tie and holding a cane where both of his hands rested. Pyrrha figured from his state of dress this was the head of this asylum. The man frowned at the officer leading her, "Who is this? Why is she brought here when Batman will be bringing the Joker soon?"

"She was found in a suspicious incident with strange weapons sir" the officer responds. "Commissioner Gordon said to bring her here to see for himself. Probably have Batman look into it."

The man frowned before he said, "Well Commissioner Gordon is in Patient Handover. Send the strange weapons down there ahead." He turned to Pyrrha, "Well young lady, I am Warden Quincy Sharp." The man introduced himself.

"Pyrrha Nikos, sir" Pyrrha introduced herself with a small nod.

"A pleasure," he said returning the nod. "Is what this officer said true miss?"

Pyrrha frowned, "I would call it a misunderstanding. I just stopped someone from attempting to rob me before I found the officer."

The warden frowned, "Well if what you say is true then this should be smoothen out. Once the Joker returns you can be escorted to the commissioner with Batman in tow." He glanced at the handcuffs, "Do you wish to have those removed?"

Pyrrha blinked at this before she shook her head, "I don't want to cause any problems. I will wait until I see the commissioner." Now Pyrrha could easily remove the cuffs herself with her semblance but felt since she was arrested it would looks bad if she was found without the cuffs and didn't want to cause anymore issues.

Warden Sharp nodded, "well if you can wait off to the side with Cash here while we wait."

Pyrrha simple nodded as one of the other guard walked over to escort her to the side. This one seemed aged as well and one of his hands was replaced by a hook. She has seen other huntsmen and huntress with robotic limbs or fake limbs before so it didn't shock her but didn't say anything or stare to not seem rude. She did however ask something that was on her mind for a while. "If I may ask, who is this Batman and Joker?"

Cash stared for a moment, surprised at the question before he noticed the thick door start to unlock. "You're about to find out."

Pyrrha followed his gaze to see two figures in the now open doorway, one standing and one on his knees.

The first figure that was standing was a tall, intimidating man in a black and gray suit, which was the symbol on his chest resembling a bat, strong muscles, a long black cape flowing behind him and a black cowl covering most of his face and tipped with black, bat-like ears. Pyrrha now understood why he was called Batman. Pyrrha thought that Jaune and Ruby would like this man since he looks like someone that came straight from a comic they love so much.

The next figure Pyrrha thought seem to be a perfect opposite in stature alone. He was very skinny with green hair, skin so pale it might as well be pure white, blood red lips curved in a sickening, twisted smile all while wearing a purple pinstripe suit and pointed black shoes. With his clown-like appearance, Pyrrha figure this was Joker. However just looking at him sent a shiver down Pyrrha's spine.

Batman then reached down and grabbed the clown, yanking him to his feet and shoving him forward. "Move" He order in a voice as intimidating as his appearance.

Pyrrha kept her eye on the clown as he was force, to walk towards them. With how everyone was on edge and some guard kept their weapons trained on him told Pyrrha that the Joker was more dangerous than he seems. But he didn't seem that threatening to her, even if he wasn't in handcuff. 'But then again,' Pyrrha thought to herself, 'Many of my friends don't looks that threatening either and yet more than powerful enough. Jaune being the biggest example.'

Joker gave a short chuckle that sounded creepy to her, "hey, Sharpie! Love what you've done with the place,"

"That's Warden Sharp to you." Sharp snapped back at him before he called out, "Boles!"

One mean looking guard came forward and grabbed the Joker by his suit. "Yo, Frank-ay! How's the wife and kids? Ya miss me?" Joker asked, not at all concern that he was grabbed roughly.

Boles snarled at him "Shut it, clown! A lot of people here really wanna talk to you!"

Pyrrha watched him as the guard pulled Joker towards a stretcher and strap him in. Batman was watching this carefully before he noticed Pyrrha. He frowned not expecting a young woman he's never seen before in cuffs to be here. "Who's this? And why is she here?"

"An officer brought her here after an incident with a mugger I believe," Warden Sharp explained. "Commissioner Gordon wanted to see her himself after all this business with Joker. I believe something you can look into as well from what the officer said about her having strange weapons."

Batman glanced over to Pyrrha and studied her. He guessed she was close to eighteen if not already, yet didn't hold the posture of a normal woman that age. She had the posture of a fighter even if she was in handcuffs and relax. Her armor reminded him of Dianna's or rather amazon armor. And there was something else that Batman was sure of but there was more to this girl then meets the eye and made a note to look into her when this was over. His train of thought was broken by Joker.

"Really, I don't mind walking" Joker complained as he was loaded onto the stretcher and locked in. "Not so tight boys, you'll crease the suit."

"Get that filthy degenerate out of here!" the Warden ordered.

Batman however frowned, "Warden, something's not right. I'm going with him."

Warden Sharp nodded, "as long as that clown is locked away. Ms. Nikos can go with you to see Commissioner Gordon as well."

Pyrrha glanced from the Warden to Batman, not sure what to do. Batman gave her another look before he nodded, feeling that if Pyrrha was going to be a problem it was better if he was nearby to handle her as well. They started the long walk, Joker looking around as he was wheeled backwards and noticed more cameras than usual as two spotlights lit up onto them. "Sharpie loves his cameras. Hey, Sharpie! You getting my good side? Oh heck, they're all good, aren't they?" He chuckled before he glanced at Pyrrha "Well you must be new. Say cheese for the camera little lady."

Pyrrha frowned but didn't give him a response. Joker didn't seem to care before he asked her, "just look at all this new security. How's a guy supposed to break out of here? We got to teach the new girl how to escape properly."

"No thank you," Pyrrha reject while still being polite. She didn't like how casually he spoke about escaping. Even so she hoped her talk with Batman and the commissioner will smooth everything over.

"Ignore him," Batman ordered, keeping his attention on Joker. He saw how the girl didn't seem interested in Joker's casual talk of escaping which looked good for her.

Joker gave Batman a pout, "Now that's not nice Bats. How can I teach the new girl if you won't let us mingle?"

Batman said nothing while Pyrrha glanced from Joker to Batman, not sure what to say. The group stopped at the end of the walk way before they platform lowered down to a lower level. There was a small chime and a female voice rang out over the intercom. "New patient in the Intensive Treatment lobby. All none essential staff are to vacate the area."

"Should we move?" Pyrrha asked Batman since she was sure she would not count but wasn't sure for Batman.

"We're essential, for the time being" Batman answered easily.

"You sure Bats?" Joker asked with a chuckle as they group continued down to the intensive care unit and toward a large chamber that was also a scanner and metal detector. Joker lets about another laugh. "Ahh, it's always nice to return to my sweet little ha-ha-Hacienda!" He laughed.

Once inside the door shut with a hiss behind them before they heard Cash call over the speaker, "tunnel's full. Start the scan."

The machine started to hum and scan over all of them while Joker said, "you know, I prefer a good ol' cavity search. Much more personal."

However, the lights of the scanner flashed red and one guard spoke out, "Got a red light. Multiple prohibited items."

"I want Joker searched again!" Cash ordered.

"Err, It's not the patient, it's err..." the guard stammered. Pyrrha frowned wondering what was wrong since she didn't have her weapons on her before she realized what happen. She glanced at batman, who had no reaction and kept his gaze on Joker.

Joker seem to realize the same thing as well. "Ooh, whatcha sneak in with you, bats? Come on, tell me, tell me! Batarangs? Batclaws? Bat-snacks?" He laughed before glancing at Pyrrha, "or maybe you're the one sneaking something in. Naughty, naughty."

"Scan is green on Joker" the guard confirmed for them.

"Open the gate! Get him out of there!" Cash ordered to the guard.

The door in front of them opens up and Pyrrha saw Cash along with several other guards standing at the ready with their weapons, all aiming at Joker.

"I want weapons on him at all times" Cash said as they wheeled Joker pass him, "Do not let him out of your sight."

"There will be time for you later, Cash." Joker said to him as he was move pass the guard, "Speaking of time; tick-tock, tick-tock. Is that a crocodile I hear?"

Joker laughed at his own joke while Pyrrha frowned confused as to why Joker would taunt Cash with a crocodile. She took one last glance at Cash and then his hook hand. She figured he must have lost it to a crocodile and now has a fear of them. As they moved they pass what look like a doctor who was standing behind two guards. Joker noticed her, "What's up, doc? Pencil me in for tomorrow at 4. We've got a lot of catching up to do." He laughed.

They group walked down a new hallway with several tv monitors before they came to life, showing Warden Sharp on screen. They started to play what Pyrrha guessed was a recording, speaking to the 'new' patients into the asylum. Joker seemed to be amused by this. "Ooh, it's my favorite show! 'I'm warden idiot', 'you'll never escape'"

Pyrrha said nothing as they pass a section where half the hallway was blocked by bars. She didn't take much notice until she heard someone on the other side speak, "hey, it Joker."

"Joker! Joker!" another man chants.

"Hey Joker!"

"Hear about Blackgate boss?"

"Got your suit boss!"

Pyrrha glanced over and was surprised to see a group of men being lead down the hallway in the other direction. However, they were dressed in either gray or brown prison garbs. They were marched with their hands on their heads as the guard kept their weapons on them, all telling the men to keep quiet. "Inmate? I thought this was an asylum, why are there prisoners here?"

"Their Joker's crew from Blackgate Prison," Batman explained, glancing their way with narrow eyes. "There was a fire and some of the prisoners had to be transferred here until repairs are made."

"I don't like it," Pyrrha said softly, thinking it could be trouble if Joker's group was here while Joker himself was in the place.

"Same," Batman admitted, unknowingly thinking the same thing but only he had more suspicions through experience.

Joker sighed, barely glancing towards his men. "I'm telling you, the state of the wiring in these federal facilities is shocking. My boys over there could've been hurt in that 'unfortunate' fire."

Pyrrha frowned, not liking how Joker seem to put more meaning into unfortunate. Either he really didn't care for them or it was planned. Neither was a good option for Pyrrha.

They stopped by a small group of guards and a doctor holding a clipboard. The doctor stepped forward "just have to check your patient, officer Boles."

The guard named Boles scowled and said impatiently "alright, just be quick!"

"Only following procedure" the doctor stated stepping forward and checking Joker out without touching him. "Patient seems to be in satisfactory condition. Looks like he suffered minor lacerations, probably in the last two hours. There seem to be..." the doctor paused, getting a little closer to Joker's face.

However, the Joker just shouted "Boo!" causing the doctor to jump back as did the guard who raised their weapons. Even Pyrrha jerked, ready for a fight but the Joker just laughed like a lunatic even though no less than five automated weapons were pointed right at him. The clown then asked the doctor "need to take my temperature? I'd be happy to drop my pants."

The doctor however had enough "he's all yours. Get him out of here."

One guard reported over his radio, "He's good. Open the door."

The thick doors like the one they went though at the beginning of their journey opened up as a chime came over the loudspeakers and then an announcement came. "Attention in intensive treatment: Category 9 patient in transit. Pacification systems active. Shoot-to-kill permission granted."

Through the door was over half a dozen guard before an open elevator shaft where the cabin moving, showing the elevator was moving up. One guard ordered the others, "you heard the lady, we've got another psycho on the way."

Pyrrha said nothing as it seemed a bit much for another patient coming up. Joker found the whole thing amusing. "Can you smell the excitement in the air? No? Must've been one of the guards. Croc, old boy! Is that you?"

Pyrrha turned her attention to the lifting elevator, which had the side sparking and moving slowly as if lifted a heavy load. Pyrrha could barely see a hunched figure inside the elevator as it finally stopped at the floor. "Get ready," one guard said as the gate slid open, "keep your weapons trained on him at all times."

Pyrrha could just stare as something big climbed out of the elevator. It was bigger than the Atlas' Paladins but was pure flesh and blood. Once outside the creature stood up, towering over all of them size alone. His body was scaly and green color with a almost flat face and wicked oversize teeth. Wearing only the prison pants, chains around his wrists and a collar around his neck, it hissed when a spotlight was shined on him. At first Pyrrha wondered if he was a Faunus but then realize not even a reptile faunus looked like this.

"He looks angry" one guard muttered softly

The sniffed the air, then turned to lock eyes with Batman., "What's it doing?" another guard asked.

He took a few steps forward and said in a growling gravelly voice"I've got your scent, Batman! I will hunt you down."

"Get that animal under control!" One guard ordered.

The large collar around his neck hummed with power before it started to spark, showing the man. He growled in anger and pain before it stopped and he growled at them. "A toy collar won't stop me from killing you, Batman. I'll rip you apart. Eat your bones."

After that he started to stomp off with a few guard following him. Pyrrha could only stare at the beast even after he vanished pass a side door. The silence was only broken by Joker. "That reminds me. I really need to get me some new shoes."

"Who…was that?" Pyrrha asked, not wanting to say 'what' as it sounded offensive in her opinion even if he was a faunus or not.

"That was Waylon Jones," Batman explained to her "alias Killer Croc. Born with a very rare condition that gives him a reptilian appearance. Has been convicted for murder and acts of cannibalism."

Pyrrha blench at this. As far as she knew no Faunus has ever committed the act of cannibalism so the thought of someone doing such an act was horrendous. One the door where Killer Croc went through locked up again one of the guard said, "Okay move up."

Pyrrha followed Batman and Boles as Joker was wheeled into the elevator before the gate shuts and the guard states, "hold tight."

The elevator shook and they started to descend. After a few seconds Joker exclaimed "Wee! Great night for a party!"

"Not where you're going" Batman stated simply.

"The night is young, Bats" Joker explained. "I still have a trick or two up my sleeve. I mean, don't you think it's a little funny how a fire at Blackgate caused hundreds of my crew to be moved here?"

Pyrrha didn't say a word, already not liking how Joker had his crew in the same place as him. But now hearing the clown all but confessing he had planned the fire made it seem worse. She glanced at Batman and saw he had a serious look on his face and guess he was thinking the same thing. She gazed back at Joker who didn't even look her way and vowed to make sure the criminal was locked away properly. Her own predicament all but forgotten in her mind.

"I thought I told you to stay quiet!" Boles snapped at Joker.

Joker glanced at the guard for a bit "oh, Frankie, you really should learn to keep that fat mouth of yours shut. It'll get you into trouble." This last part was a growl but the guard didn't seem bothered by the threat.

"Tell me something," Batman said, either to get Joker's attention off Boles or because he really wanted information Pyrrha wasn't sure. "You've never let me catch you this easily. What are you really after?"

"Oh, nothing much." Joker replied easily, acting like her was inspecting his fingernails even though he wore a glove. "Hundreds dying in pain and fear. Their miserable lives brought to a horrifying conclusion. All thanks to you and a book of matches. Was that the answer you wanted?"

"Atrocious," Pyrrha hiss, unable to help herself.

Joker simply chuckled at her, "kid, you haven't seen nothing yet."

Then suddenly the television beside Pyrrha turned up, causing the girl to jump slightly in surprise. On it was the warden and another recording, "All patients should avoid contact with prisoners from Blackgate Prison Facility. Their presence in our institution is…"

But then the speaker waned and the lights flickered about to go out. Joker was laughing the whole time as it went pitch black. The guard were panicking, "What's he doing?"

"Stay where you are!"

"Get a flashlight!" Boles ordered, "Get a light on him!"

The lights came back on and the tv recording started again. Joker was still in his chair but now Batman was holding the man by his throat so he wouldn't escape. Joker choked and asked roughly, "What? Don't you trust me?"

Batman didn't answer and slammed the Joker's head to the back of his harness. Joker breaths heavy before he glances down at his locked wrist, "is it me or do these feels like they got tighter?"

Batman didn't reply but he did notice that Joker actually sounded like he was confused rather than his usual joking manner. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Pyrrha quickly lowering her hands, her arms still lowered as they were since she first got into the elevator. Batman mentally filed that away to look into later but he felt Joker took priority.

The elevator shook as it stopped at their destination. "Our guest has arrived," said a guard waiting outside the elevator gate. It opens up and the group walked or rolled out with several guard standing at the sides all with their guns up and aiming at Joker. A chime was heard again as the announcement said, "Intensive Treatment lower floors are now in level Red Alpha."

"So you're back," one guard stated, "You killed three of my crew when you busted out of here."

"Only three?" Joker asked with a laugh which caused Pyrrha to scowl at him. "I'll be sure to try harder next time. What say we aim for a hundred?"

They finally made it to patient hangover where a man with graying hair and mustache, doing paperwork on a clipboard. He turned when they turned up allowing Pyrrha to see he was dressed in a blue vest with his badge strapped to his belt and a pistol in a hostler strapped to his chest. Batman turned and greeted the man, "Long night Jim?"

The man scoffed, walking up to him and shaking the man's hand all while saying "Joker invades city Hall and holds the mayor hostage, leaving it to me to juggle SWAT teams, the media, and you. Yeah, it's been a helluva night."

"Hopefully the last one we'll ever have with him," Batman stated, nodding his head to Joker.

What he didn't know was someone watching their every move through the security cameras and it wasn't a guard. The female figure leaned back, her boots bouncing off each other as she giggles madly "yeah right."

"And her," Batman added nodding to Pyrrha, "what's her story?"

"Got a call from one of my officers," Jim explained, "was responding to the sound of gun fire. Said he found her leaving the alley and had strange weapons on her."

Batman glanced at Pyrrha who answered the unasked question, "when the officer found me I was leaving an alley after I stopped someone from trying to rob me. It was his weapon that went off."

Batman frowned back at Jim who continued, "with her story, the way she was dressed and her weapons it sounded like someone that could have ties to one of your friends in the league."

Pyrrha blinked and looked down at herself "is something wrong with my uniform?" she wasn't vain by any means but she will admit this was the first someone said something about her choice of uniform.

"Don't worry about it," Batman informed her since compared to some of the other uniforms of his allies and enemies, Pyrrha's wasn't that out of place. "But I do want a look at her weapons you mentioned."

"Over here" Jim waved as they looked into a booth pass patient hangover to which Pyrrha's weapon and shield lay on a shelf.

Batman first thought of how at first glance it looked like a weapon one of the amazons would use. Though the shield was smaller and the sword look like it was made of bronze. He picked up the sword and activated his detective vison on his cowl and started to scan the weapon. From the first scan, it showed it wasn't bronze or any other metal his computer has scanned before. It was similar to steel in component but still unrecognizable to his scans. He also found it was more technically advance then anything amazons use, a fact he confirmed when he manages to extend the sword into a spear. But the end, here Batman frowned as he looked and scanned it. the end reminded him too much of a gun barrel for his liking. His scans also picked up something inside the weapon itself. A chemical compound once again unrecognizable. He placed the weapon down and looked at Pyrrha, who was simply waiting patiently for him. His cowl detected her heartbeat was calm and her body structure seemed like a normal human abet trained for fighting. Once again, he was reminded of an amazon warrior but he knew she couldn't be. "You not from around here, are you?"

Pyrrha smiled sadly at him, "To tell you the truth I'm not. I woke up and found myself in an alleyway before someone tried to rob me and I meet that officer."

"So, where you from then?" Jim asked her.

Pyrrha said nothing for a moment before she said, "I'm not sure you will believe me."

"Try me," Batman said firmly.

Pyrrha smiled sadly once again. "Would you believe me if I said that I had died."

Jim and Batman were stunned hearing this. Batman's first thoughts of the League of Assassins and the leader able to live hundreds of years and can even be brought back from the dead. But while he thought it was a possibility it wouldn't explain her weapons and the unknown metal and compounds. But his train of thought was broken when he saw Joke was taking out of the harness and was being moved on foot with his hands cuffed in front of him. Batman, Pyrrha and commissioner Gordon headed towards them before one guard held a hand out to them. "Hold it, there! Sorry, Batman; Arkham staff only."

Pyrrha blinked surprised by this while Commissioner Gordon frowned "I assure you, if anyone's qualified, it's…"

The guard however cut him off, "listen, I appreciate the assistance, but he'll unsettle the more violent inmates."

Joker chuckled jerking his head to Batman. "I think he's talking about you, Bats!" He laughed as the laser gate shut off and he was led through. As he was led away he started off "don't be a stranger! You're always welcome here! Gotta say, it's good to be back!"

Batman watched as the Joker gave another laugh, an uneasy feeling settling in. Jim noticed this, "You okay?"

"He surrendered almost without a fight. I don't like it" Batman said moving inside the booth to watch the progress through the window. Gordon and Pyrrha followed him.

"At least he's back where he belongs." Gordon said with a nod.

Pyrrha said nothing, feeling that something was very wrong.

Inside the next room Joker took a glance back to see batman watching him before he grunts and fell to his knees. "Get up," the guard escorting him ordered. He didn't see Joker's smirk as the guard reached to lift him up. "Now!" the guard ordered again.

Joker acted at once, headbutting the guard before he the clown quickly got behind the guard and threw his cuffed hands over his neck, strangling the struggling guard.

"Joker's loose! Alert the warden!" Batman demanded as he punched the bullet proof glass window, cracking it heavily.

"Hurry, we're losing him, Doc!" Joker screamed to the doctor, who was trying to undo the cuffs to save the guard.

Batman was about to throw another punch to try and break the glass again when he heard something behind him. On instinct, he jumped to the side just in time to see Pyrrha jumping towards the window with her shield in front.

When Pyrrha heard Joker was trying to escape she sprang into action. In the short time, she has seen and hear Joker she knew that man shouldn't be allowed to be free. She used her semblance to unlock the cuffs and threw them away. With her arms reaching behind her, Pyrrha pulled her weapons towards her before she launched herself towards the cracked window.

Joker heard the sound of the window breaking just as one of the cuffs came undone. Knowing he didn't have much time he spread his arms apart and pushed the struggling guard away and kicked the doctor away from him. He didn't look behind him to hear someone landing on the ground behind him as he dove for the other security door. Pyrrha landed in a roll before she threw her shield at the fleeing clown. The security door shut off as Joker dove through, causing the flying disk to miss and strike the side before bouncing back to Pyrrha.

Joker laughed as he stood up while the security door reactivated, "what a rush! I was planning a trap for Batman kid but if you wanted to join the party you could've just ask."

Pyrrha just narrowed her eyes at the Joker standing behind the shield. She then heard the doors to the cells around her open up and the prisoners walked out of them. It was then did Batman get over his shock at not only Pyrrha escaping and breaking through a bulletproof window (even if it was cracked) but nearly stopped the Joker. He jumped out and landed right behind Pyrrha. Pyrrha took a single glance back at him before focusing on the goons who were chuckling and circling them. "I'm sorry I escaped but…"

"Don't be," Batman advised, using his cowl for a quick second to check the guard and doctor. Both were alive just knocked out "you saved these two men. Let's focus on capturing Joker. But first we have to take care of these guys."

"We can handle them," Pyrrha agreed getting into a loose stance.

Batman gave her a glance before he said "no killing anyone. Follow that rule and we shouldn't have too much of a problem."

Joker laughed as he ran into a booth on the other side of the room and spoke over the loud speaker. "Let's get this party started."

The four released goons charged at them, Batman countered one punched before he returned his own before he landed another. Pyrrha waited until her opponent was close enough before swung her shield arm, knocking the punch aside before she turned, lowering herself and swiped the man's feet from underneath him. Pyrrha was already up again to block another punch with her sword before she extended it and struck him a few times, knocking him off balance and backwards. Pyrrha then swung her spear below her, catching the dazed prisoner in the side of the head and knocked the man out. After that she charged forward with her shield in front. The prisoner was knocked to the ground before Pyrrha punched him hard in the head to take him out of the fight. As glanced around to see Batman easily finishing off the two crooks with ease.

Joker just laughed over the loud speaker as if amused, "I'm just warming you up Bats. You too new kid. Fresh from Blackgate Correctional Facility, with a combined sentence of 752 years! Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! It's Round 2!"

Five more inmates were let out of their cells and they ran right at the duo. Pyrrha threw her shield, which bounced off two of their heads before she caught it as she ran up and attacked with her spear, switching targets every other blow to keep them away and disorientated. Batman himself waited till they were close enough before he went on the attack and knocked one inmate down dazed before he caught another punch and countered quickly.

While the two were fighting Joker spoke through the loudspeaker, "Sorry you two, I gotta run. I've got places to go and people to slay."

Both heroes gritted their teeth as Joker was getting away. Pyrrha finished her opponents off with a sword strike and a shield to the head while Batman dove at the last inmate, wrestled into a roll for a quick second before he twists the leg, causing the man to cry in pain and stopping him. He was out cold soon after that.

They got up to see the booth Joker was in before was now empty and the security door was still up on either side if the room. "He's gone," Pyrrha frowns.

"We'll get him," Batman assured her.

Gordon appeared on the one of the screens, before his voice said over the speakers. "The system's jammed. We're stuck in here. Joker's got full control of the security gates

"We'll find a way out. Gordon, try and contact the Warden. Let him know what's happening. I'll be back."

But the screen changed to Joker in a hallway as he turned to the camera. "Don't make promises you can't keep, Bats!"

Pyrrha was surprised at the respond, "how can he hear us from where he is?"

Joker answered her, "cause I'm in control of the asylum kid. You two aren't going anywhere I don't want you to. Understand?"

Batman glared at the screen and growled, "If you think I'll let you run…"

But Joker cut him off "Blah, blah, blah! Always with the hero speak! I'm getting bored watching you. Why don't you just come and find me..?"

The security gate the Joker went through before sudden went down, freeing the way for them. Pyrrha was surprised but knew it was a trap. Gordon shared her thoughts, "You know it's a trap."

"Of course it is" Batman confirmed.

"The only other option is to stay and do nothing," Pyrrha added, "which is not an option at all."

Batman nods "agreed."

The two heroes started off to catch the Joker, two unlikely heroes up against a whole asylum out to kill them.

And cut! Man that took a while to get done but I am happy how it turned out. Was Pyrrha a good fit for here and more importantly did she act like how you think she would? I hope I didn't have her too OOC but you never know. So tell us how we did from the good or how badly we screwed up. Flames will all used to keep the inmates of Arkham warm at night so bring it on.
