Hello, everyone and welcome to a DC story! For those of you who might have read the comic Wonders of the World, also known as Earth-2, you might have saw some new things in there. Like the fact that Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman dies and a lot of shit happened since then. I loved it at first, but then I heard of the cancellation and that pissed me off for a while. I also didn't like the fact that Helena Wayne became the Huntress instead of Batwoman and was sent to another universe for five years, also she killed a few people.
This story is a remake of that comic. I will also be writing a story about Supergirl, The Flash(Jay Garrick), and then after the Wonders of the World. Characters including Supergirl, Batwoman, Green Lantern(Alan Scott), Hawkgirl(Kendra Munoz or Kendra Saunders), and Wonder Woman. I will bring in the World Army, Val-Zod, Aquawoman, Doctor Fate, Batman II(Thomas Wayne), Accountable(Jimmy Olsen).
On to the story now… I own none of this, besides my own OC.
Gotham city... for years I've been filling the streets of fear, so that everyone would see what I see. But my every attempt at driving this city to its knees is foiled by a man known as... the Batman. For years he has stopped my plans over and over, time again. Even with fear in him, he still manages to stop me. Not again.
Tonight is the night that I, the Scarecrow, will have my victory, and Gotham will be mine.
Screeching sounds of a car and police sirens hot the attention of nearby pedestrians. Usually criminals wouldn't give a damn about cops chasing them as bribing them could get them off their back easy. However, tonight that plan isn't going to work because Batman was on their tail also. All police vehicles stopped immediately after seeing the batmobile gaining ahead of them and onto the criminals. A black car that had way more armor than a normal tank has.
Within the speeding car, three mask men were shaking on the inside and out once they spotted the bat, "Shit! The bats gaining on us!".
"Can't you go any faster?!". The backseat man yells.
"Its going as fast as it can!".
Within the batmobile, Batman drove, staring intently at the car in front, "I'm surprise they haven't fired at us yet". The voice came from the passenger seat.
This person was what Gotham knows as being the third robin, as in Batman's third sidekick. This is the first that Batman has brought in a female robin, but this wasn't just an ordinary girl, this was the bat's little girl. This robin wore the usual red, black, yellow, and green look that previous robins wore. Her black hair was tied in a ponytail so that when she fights it wouldn't get in the way. Trained personally by him, she knows everything that he knows and uses it at best she can.
"Dad, are you okay?". She saw a bit of hesitation from him, but he quickly covers it up.
"I'm fine". She could easily tell that he was lying, it was one of the things that he had taught her about figuring a person out. Not even his mask could help him.
"Dad, is it the illness?".
"Helena, I'm fine, there is nothing to worry about". Despite his assurance to her, she was still worried for him.
The mask men were still going bat-shit crazy over the sight of Batman, "Fuck this, I'm not going back to jail!". The backseat man pulled out an automatic gun and fired upon the batmobile.
The bullets hardly did anything against the tank's hard armor plates, they just bounce of, including the widows. Helena smirked, "When will they learn?".
"Lets hope now". Batman pushes a button, a cannon pops from the hood of the tank.
The men sees this, "Is that a fucking cannon!?".
"I thought the bat doesn't kill!".
Batman was about to push the launch button, but is interrupted by Robin, who does it herself. The cannon shot out an electric energy blast at the car, the driver quickly loses control. He tries getting a control over it the best he could, but it was no use. When trying to stir it to the left, the car flips to the right and kept flipping about nine times before going into a complete stop upside down.
Batman and Robin gets out and investigate the criminals. The passenger crawls out and is grab by his shirt collar by Batman, "Talk".
"About what?". He was frighten.
"Where is the Scarecrow and what does he have plan for the bomb?". The word 'bomb' got the attention of Robin.
"What bomb?".
Ignoring her, Batman continues, "Where?!".
"H-He's trying to recreate it… trying out his new fear gas on it…".
"He's trying to launch it so that it could fill Gotham up?". He nods his head. "Where is he?".
"At the old Structure building, that's where he's going to do it". The sound of police sirens started coming, Batman drops him, but not without handcuffing him to the car with the other two.
Batman walks towards the batmobile, Robin looking at the man, before too following him.
Dropping it down, two men made a mistake by kicking it, "Careful, you fools! One slight accident and we'll never be insane again!". Scarecrow yells at the men who puts a medium, black device onto a chopper.
A man of average height, a bit skinny, and wore a black suit and a rip, dirty mask stared at them. The men tend not to look him in the eyes in fear that he'll use some of that fear on them, "Everything needs to be perfect".
"Mr. Scarecrow… sir?". A young man that doesn't look to be anywhere above the age of eighteen nervously called out his name. This young man, like the rest of Scarecrow's crew, wore a rip mask as well.
Scarecrow took a glance at him, slightly annoyed by someone calling him out. "What?".
"...With all due respect, sir, what is this thing?".
Scarecrow would get a bit angry by the stupid questions that people would ask him, but today was special. He could let this slide one time. He grabs the young man by his collar shirt, wrapping his left arm around his neck, "Walk with me, my boy". Scared, the young man does what he says not wanting something bad to happen to him. "What's your name? And don't lie to me either, I can tell when someone is scared".
"D-Deven. Deven Morse".
"Nice name. Now, you want to know what I'm doing here, huh? Well, don't worry because the plan is simple". Scarecrow looks to the sky. "I plan to launch that device over the Gotham
Robin continues to stare at her father and, knowing that he knows that he is getting stared at, "Helena, please".
"What was that guy talking about? A bomb? What bomb? And why does it look like you knew about it?".
"Because I did know about it. The Scarecrow hasn't appeared in Gotham for some time, no criminal activity from him, no threats, and no one yelling crazy in the streets. He left Gotham and I hoped that he'd left for good… until on the news a military sub was attacked and a device was missing."
"I haven't heard of no military device or even a sub getting attacked."p
"They were covering it, not wanting people to know that the military was attacked and that one of their devices was taken. They especially don't want anyone to know that the device was a bomb and not just any bomb, its a Bio-bomb. I'm guessing Scarecrow plans to launch it over Gotham and let fear rain down over the city."
"How do you know this?".
"I'm Batman". Robin just stared at him with an expression that clearly says, 'Really'.
It was within five minutes of their conversation that they finally made it to the old Structure building. A 50-story tower that has black spots around it indicating a fire had happened here, "What happened here?".
"The Joker". Batman says, before going into the building.
Inside the building everything was pure white with again black burnt spots at headed up, "You and the Joker really went all out, huh? Good thing he's lock up in Arkham, huh?".
"Yes". Batman says in a cold remark before stopping to see the top, "Helena, I want you to get back in the tank".
"Why?".
"Don't argue with…". Batman collapsed on one knee, Helena checks on him.
"Its getting worse, isn't it?".
"No… I can handle this".
"No you can't! Dad, please, I can help you. Isn't this what you wanted me to do? To become robin and take up your mantle? This isn't what mom wanted! She wouldn't want you to keep going like this. So, please, dad… let me help, you've trained me for this".
He could see the eyes of his wife within his daughter's, those big brownish eyes that melted his heart. "Okay". She smiled and helped him up. "I can't keep this up forever, so I need you to listen".
"Yo, Jacky, where's the beer?". A man with an automatic assault rifle called out to one of his comrades.
"Couldn't bring it, man, Scarecrow really wanted that fuckin' weapon here quick. Said something about it 'needing its juice'. What the fuck is that suppose to me?".
"Don't know, but I hope its better than working for the Joker".
"Has no loyalty for his own men-". A hand covers over his mouth, and pulls him behind a corner.
"Loyalty? I don't think the Joker knows what… Mark?". Drawing out his gun, he walked over to where his friend was at, but a hand grabs hold of his gun. Then small hands grab his head and Robin executed a kick to the face before doing a backwards jump landing on her feet.
They moved along, Robin shooting her batarangs at the cameras that wasn't burnt from the fire. The man in the security room saw what was happening along with the cameras that was going dark and grabs his walky-talky, "Scarecrow! It's the bat and his partner".
"Thats Robin to you!". Helena threw a batarang at his walky-talky destroying it and delivered a sidekick to the man's head.
"Scarecrow heard it, we gotta hurry". Batman says.
"Move it! Cover the door, I'm not going to let Batman ruin my plans again". As the men goes to the door, their guns drawn, Scarecrow goes to the bomb and took out a vial of something gray and injected it within the device.
Devon carefully grabs hold of a gun, but the weight of it surprised him. "Never held a gun before?". A tall dark-skinned man says to him, wearing an exact scarecrow mask as the rest of them.
"No… I didn't think Batman would show up".
"When a crazy person starts some shit in Gotham, Batman is there and tonight is his last". He cocks his shotgun.
As they waited at the door they starts to hear sounds coming towards them. Some were nervous, but knew the risk they were in and are willing to do anything to stay out of prison. The noise got closer, and with a small foot hitting their level they opened fire. Everyone nervously cocks their guns, and the slight slide of the door opening, everyone opened fired. As the bullets flew smoke started to fill the area they are at and the second the smoke started to reach the boss. "Enough!".
They stop, letting the air clear out for a sec, a shadow was seen leaning against the wall. A smile came upon the criminals faces at the sight of their victory. However, their smiles went away at the sight of not the bat, but at one of their own men that they have accidently shot. His body leaned on the wall, bullet holes were visible to see as he slides down the wall, blood splattered everywhere. "Shit! Is that Michael?".
"Forget about him. Where the hells the bat?!". As they were trying to figure out the situation, Scarecrow ordered two of them to move the device on board the chopper.
A small, black ball roll onto where they were and in seconds exploded. Gas came out, filling the air and making everyone cough. "Idiots!". Scarecrow says, covering his mouth. He then started to hear noises, but couldn't see what was happening, he didn't have to guess to know what was going on. He pulls out his handgun and a small trigger from his suit. "Batman". As the smoke descended, Batman and Robin appeared. "And I see you brought your little birdy with you too".
"Give it up, Scarecrow, you're finished".
"I don't think so, Bats". Deven came up behind Robin and grabs her by the neck with his arm. "Thank you, my boy. I didn't want no third wheel getting in my way with bats here".
"Don't you worry, Mr. Scarecrow, I-". The kid was cut off by a kick to the balls by Robin. He falls holding his privates.
Scarecrow shakes his head, "Why do I even bother? Kids these days just can't be counted on for anything".
"It's over". Batman says, stepping forward.
"Hold it, I think we both know what this is and what it can do, so I advise you to step back before things get ugly". Batman still takes a step forward resulting in Scarecrow shooting at the floor. "You just love to piss me off, don't you?".
"You're not getting away".
The chopper begins activating, the pilot giving his signal. "I would love to stay and play twenty questions with you, but I ain't the Joker, so bye". He starts shooting at Batman as he ran towards his escape chopper. Once inside, the chopper starts descending. "Oh, but before I go, I want to leave behind one last gift". He throws fear gas bomb at Batman.
Batman easily dodges it and so does Robin, but for Deven, he was hit straight in the face with it. His screamings were ignored by both father and daughter, and continues their pursuit of the crazed man. They both take out their grappling guns and fired at the chopper, grabbing onto its bottom. The two zip up and made it aboard, but Scarecrow was expecting them, with the trigger in his hand. "Too late". But before he could push it, Batman launch at him.
Tackling him, Batman manages to swat the trigger from his hand. "What the hell's going on back there?". The pilot yells, but got his answer when Robin sat in the passenger seat.
"My dad is kicking your boss' ass". She stuck her tongue out.
"Language!". Batman yells. He continues to take down Scarecrow, punching him multiple times in the face, but at that moment Batman felt his heart ache.
Scarecrow took this as an advantage and kicks him off him. "What's this? Are you at your peak?". He goes ahead to stomp on his head and continues to mock him. "This is my day to shine, Batman". He grabs the trigger.
"No you don't!". Robin jump him, but Scarecrow kneed her in the stomach.
"Little birdy, you're not that smart. I told you that this is my day to shine and when I mean something, I meant it". He looks at Batman who continues to hold his heart, amusing Scarecrow. "You know what? Perhaps this is the time to take off the mask, right?". He takes off his ruffle mask, and revealed his true face, a olive skin, dark eyes, and brownish hair young man.
"So… that's what you look like". Robin says.
He waves his hands in his hair, "I look good, don't I?".
She had a disgusted look on her face, "No!".
"Doesn't matter, kiddy, because in a short few minutes your city is going to be screaming in fear. And I will be known as the man who brought this city to its end". He looks over the city, smiling. "Hope you're not afraid of anything".
"Helena, jump!". Batman throws a batarang at the device, hitting at the containment system.
Robin just watch as her father tackles the Scarecrow again and then looks at the device. Smoke was coming from off the it and looked as if it was going to explode within any minute. "Dad…".
"Go!". Batman continues attacking Scarecrow.
"But… But…".
"Go!". He kicks her off the chopper, knowing full well what she had to do in that situation. As long as she is safe, he didn't care what happens to him. A tear slides down his face as he remembers the day she was born, the day he knew he had a choice of whether or not he should give up being Batman. But he knew that the reason he became batman was to protect the people of Gotham and give Helena a life he never had. "Helena… forgive me".
Robin quickly takes out her grappling gun and grapples onto a nearby building. She smashes through glass and lands a bit hard, but the moment she lands, she pops up towards the sky, "Dad!". A light came from the chopper and boom, the chopper exploded within pieces. Helena couldn't look away, her world was gone, the last person that was the last remains of her family was gone… and she couldn't do anything.
