GOTHAM CITY (DC Universe)
It was night in Gotham and the streets were quiet. Batman was in his Batmobile was patrolling the city streets as usual. Batman was looking left and right constantly just knowing that something was gonna go wrong. "Alfred I don't like it, it's just too quiet now." Batman said on the monitor screen, "Perhaps you should give yourself a break master Bruce right now the league is having a tough time and you should actually consider yourself lucky there aren't any criminals loose at the moment." Alfred said, Batman just shook his head to myself looking back the screen. "No Alfred don't care what the league is going through, that's exactly the reason why I'm out here to help out, I don't need any pressure from the criminals in Gotham right now." Batman said still scouting like a robot. "Well then might I suggest that you patch things up with Miss Prince then." Alfred said, Batman looked at the screen and had a look of embarrassment and discomfort on his face. "No Alfred Diana liked me and I liked her and then one day she decides to tell me that she finds to busy and to shallow to narrow hearted thinking that I'm never able to spend enough time with her personally outside of the league because of my commitment to the job, well she's right but she doesn't understand the job like I do she gives herself time to take breaks and have fun I don't and plus I know that it's better that if she and I don't have an emotional connection like I told her once having relationships among teammates is unprofessional and dangerous but she's been a lot happier without me in her life." Batman said in a quick yet emotional tone. As Batman was turning the corner he saw a flash of yellow light in the alleyway he slammed his foot on the brake brought the Batmobile to a screeching halt. Batman climbed out and darted in the alleyway. He saw the yellow light just glowing there and was wondering what it was. Batman just stood there staring at the light and it looked as if something was in there when all the sudden the ground started shaking and the light and imploded into a ball and then it in and then explode it out in a wave of light knocking Batman over on his back. Batman quickly got up and noticed something on the ground and noticed it was in fact a person. Batman proceeded in walking towards this person and noticed that it was a man and was in some kind of light green suit with a green tail running down his back. Batman cautiously moved in closer to the man and before he knew it the tail slammed Batman against the wall as the man got up in a defensive position. "Who the heck are you?" Scorpion asked in a confused voice, "Well who are you, I've never seen you before around here." Batman said, reaching for his batarangs. "Seriously you've never heard of me, you've never heard of me I'm The Scorpion!" He said. Batman just gave him a blank stare. "Never heard of you and I don't think I've heard of any Scorpion from the others." Batman said, when Scorpion was charging at Batman grabbing his grapple gun shooting a line across the building over him and the line reeled in causing scorpion to miss he looked up at Batman and saw that he was on the top of the building as Batman turned around and looked back down into the alley he saw the the man had disappeared. "Hey pointy ears over here." A voice suddenly called out Batman raised his eyebrows and quickly turned his head left and saw The man in the green suit attached to the side of the building grinning evilly at him before Batman knew it Scorpion shot some green liquid out of his tale right at him Batman quickly backflipped dodging the liquid which hit the rooftop Batman noticed that the substance had already started to melt through the rooftop leaving a hole. Batman's eyes widened in shock, "What is that stuff?" Batman asked getting in defensive position once again. Scorpion chuckled and crawled off the side of the building and jumped on the roof with Batman. "It's acid hello doesn't everyone know acid melts right through things." Scorpion said sarcastically, he then charged at Batman throwing a few punches. Batman dodged and blocked a few before one ended up sending Batman flying a few feet away on his back. Scorpion slowly walked over cracking his knuckles before picking up Batman in the air with his right hand, Batman's feet were dangling off the ground in mid air. Scorpion had chuckled and smirked cocking his left fist back ready to knock Batman out. "Well I guess you don't know me pal but this little wake up punch should jog your memory, still odd though never seen ya in Brooklyn or in Queens and never seen you with the web head either oh well." Scorpion said, about to throw the punch. Before He knew it he heard a hissing sound Scorpion looked down and saw a little black ball on the ground releasing some kind of white gas. Batman reached For his utility bill grabbing a gas mask putting it on his face. He noticed scorpion started to stumble around a little bit releasing his grip on him before his eyes were starting to close and saw Scorpion fall on his back passed out. After a minute or so Batman find me notice the gas it cleared and took off his gas mask. "Here's another thing, you don't know me either and you're right I don't know you but I going to." Batman said lookin down at the passed out Scorpion, he reached a communicator. "Batman to watchtower I'm requesting an immediate teleportation for two, there's someone I think everyone needs to see." Batman said I a serious tone.
