Authors' Note: Hello people of fanfiction! Though Yue Sai and I have been friends for many years, this is the first time we got the brilliant idea to come together and release out insanity in the same story. We would also like to dedicate this story to our best friend, and our number one fan, Soccergal6. I'd also like to thank my dear friend for risking his own sanity to beta read this story. Thanks, love!

Batman inwardly sighed as he looked around the room crowed, with the most dangerous criminals that Gotham has ever seen. He had just dragged the Riddler in after his latest crime. He released the man who happily wondered over to Jonathan Crane, the ex-head of the Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane and initiated conversation. The batman pinched the bridge of his nose and looked around at the crazies around the room; Poison Ivy and Cat Woman were sitting in the corner, occasionally glancing at him and giggling. He averted eyes moved from them to the Joker and Harvey 'Two-face' Dent who were playing chess on the side of the room. Scarecrow and Riddler had moved to watch them. The Joker laughed at something along with the two geniuses while Harvey looks pissed. He flips his coin and curses as it came on the un-scared side up. He turns his attention to his sidekicks: Robin and Batgirl. He takes one last glance around the room and turns to leave, motioning for his young friends to follow, when a bright flash of light along with a large backlash pushed him to the ground. Black was all he saw.
Slowly, he started to regain consciousness. His head throbbed from the hard blow he took, and his eyes were still clouded by tiny black dots. When he remembered where he was, he quickly stood up despite his aching muscles. He noticed he was the only one awake. Batman eased a bit and took the moment to survey the damage. Everyone around had been knocked unconscious: The guards, villains, Batgirl and Robin even. The explosion had left everything else in its place as if nothing happened. The single thing that seemed to have changed was the addition of a ratty old book lying in the center of the room.
He carefully moved toward it. The title 'Hogwarts: A History' proudly printed on the cover. He reached toward it when a groan interrupted him. His head whipped around, and he watched as Riddler slowly rose from his position on the floor, pushing Scarecrow off of him.
"What was that?" he asked Batman. The masked man shrugged and pointed to the book on the floor. Riddler's green eyes read the cover and asked what Hogwarts was. Batman shrugged and they stood staring at the strange book waiting for the others to awaken. By the time the last person had awoken, everyone was crowed around the book.
"What is that?", asked the Joker with a smile. The clown then leaned down and grasped the book. An old piece of parchment fell out, and Ivy grabbed it and read aloud:
"Please everyone grasp the book". All of the criminals shrugged their shoulders and grasped the book. When it started to glow, many attempted to drop the book, but found that they couldn't. Catwoman used her other hand to grab onto the closest person not attached to the book, who just happened to be Batgirl. Batgirl, in turn, grasped Robin who grabbed onto Batman and dragged him along as the book pulled them away.
When the light subsided they were all still clinging to the book, but had appeared in a large area of land. The rustling of dry leaves across the ground was all that broke the dazed confusion everyone had found themselves in.
"Well...That was fun!" laughed the Joker as he looked around. He held his pale heavily painted face in his hands, propped up by his elbows. He gave an eerie smile that was elongated by the scars that pulled on the corners of his scarlet mouth. His eyes dreamily look around what seemed to be a forest.
"Yeah fun." groaned Scarecrow from his place on the ground. He heard a muffled groan from beneath him and quickly moved off the man beneath him.
"Why do you keep landing on me?" asked the Riddler, "Where are we anyway?" everyone looked at Batman for an explanation.
Batman only glared back at them coldly as if to tell them to not get any kind of ideas. He started to look around him. A large shadow down casted upon the group. He looked up to see what was causing it to find a large fortress held up by stone. An iron black gate stood in their way. It looked to go on forever in both directions.
"Well would you look at that."said the Joker, highly amused. Obviously he was thinking of what could possibly be inside and what kind of damage he could do. Batman didn't see any other option than to head up to the castle.
He turned to face the most dangerous villains the world has known: "We are heading up to the castle for help. If any of you think to escape or cause any kind of chaos, you will regret it when we get back to Gotham."
There were sounds of muffled giggles and laughter, but everyone followed Batman up the beaten dirt path nonetheless. The gates seemed to grow larger with each step they took. Batman had an ominous feeling, but he saw no other options.
Batgirl cradled the book in her arms. She brought up the rear of the pack, making sure none of the villains turned around to run for it. She looked on the cover to see a large castle just like the one that loomed over them. Her eyes grew large with realization, but before she could say anything, she felt a sharp pain collide to the back of her head as if someone had hit her hard with a baseball bat. She dropped to the ground with a soft thud.
Batman had not noticed until he felt something hit his boot. He looked down to see a pale hand, palm up, lying lazily on the ground. He swiftly turned to see all the villains lying on the ground with moans of pain erupting from behind their lips. Even his sidekicks were down. It was Robin's hand that lay on top of his boot.
'What is going on?', thought Batman, right before he felt a splicing pain down his spine and he too fell to the ground for the third time that day. Before his body gave out, his eyes could barely make out the large figure that materialized above him. He was three times larger than any man he had ever seen, with wild black hair everywhere. The beast had tiny black beady eyes that bore into Batman's.
"Who are-" Batman was cutoff as a meaty fist made contact with his skull. The man then collected his fallen victims and proceeded to carry them up towards the castle.
TBC….
