Wally/Kid Flash POV

"Wait wait wait." I said as I followed Batman over to the teleporters ( I guess)

"Bats are you serious? You're saying Miss Martian, Superboy, Artemis, and Aqualad and myself can come and help you patrol Gotham!? Sweet!"

Batman whipped around at this, and stuck a finger in my face as he growled out

"On the condition that you do everything that I say, exactly as I say. Any screw ups, and you're done. Do I make myself clear?"

I clenched my jaw to hold back any rude comments, and quickly nodded. He watched me in silence for a few moments, before giving a curt nod, before signaling for me and the others to follow.

12:05 AM. Gotham City

Wally POV

I groaned loudly, and flinched as the sound was met by the back of Artemis's hand.

"Shut it will you? Batman says there's a villain meeting around here and he wants us to be ready for them. So stow it. Got it?"

I sighed, and nodded. A moment later, M'gann spoke through our mind link (?)

"Someone's down there."

Artemis and I froze our bickering for the moment and glanced below. I looked over at Aqualad, and mouthed the name

Two-face

Aqualad nodded, and held up a hand. Just before we jumped, a familiar voice from below froze us in our tracks.

"Wow Two-face. You're even uglier than I pictured."

We all shared a glance and shrugged, before looking down. The man we saw shocked us, and I looked up at Superboy as he hissed out

"What's NIghtwing doing here? I thought he ran Bludhaven!"

I nodded, and whispered back

"So did I!"

We continued to stare at one another, until Nightwing spoke again, bringing our gaze back to the scene below.

"Ah! I see you're not alone! These your two new cronies? Gotta say, the clown is almost as ugly as you are! Maybe more so!"

My eyes went wide.

"Someone radio Batman. We've got the Joker, Two-face and the Scarecrow all at once. And something tells me Nightwing can't take them on his own."

Aqualad nodded, and began to radio over to Batman to inform him of our situation while the rest of us looked down on the impending violence.

"Well! If it isn't the bird of Bludhaven! WHat brings you here little guy?!"

I shivered at the Joker's voice. I looked over at NIghtwing, expecting him to be as disturbed as I was, but instead he laughed it off.

"Well Joker I came here just for you!"

The Joker froze before he could speak, and regarded Nightwing with a look of confusion. He frowned, and pursed his lips, before asking

"Little ol' me? Why! You shouldn't have!"

Nightwing smirked. I turned from the action as I heard the sound of Batman's feet on the roof behind me. He quickly strode up to the edge, ready to jump down and attack, but before he could make his move, Nightwings words froze us all in our spots.

"Well to be honest I hate your guts and really didn't want to come at all! But Robin insisted!"

There was a cackle so early familier, it caused all of us, villains included, to jump. We looked behind the Joker as a figure dressed just as our Robin landed.

"Joker!" Nightwing said happily as 'Robin' stalked closer and closer to the crazed clown. "You remember Batman's partner I'm sure?!"

For just one second, the Joker seemed truly afraid. But before we could dwell on it, Robin pounced and had him down in less than a second. We looked over to find the Scarecrow and Red Hood who'd appeared out of nowhere stuck in heated battle. I looked up at Batman as I whispered

"That just leaves-"

There was a crash and a grunt. When we all looked down, we found Two-face, holding Nightwing by the throat, pinning him to the wall. We made to move, but the moment we tried, Two-face was on the ground, and Nightwing nelt, holding his throat and gasping for air. After a few seconds the person who'd taken down Two-face and rendered him unconscious stood and walked over to Nightwing, helping him stand.

"You all right?"

The person asked. Nightwing nodded

"Thanks Firebird. Now!" He turned to all the villians. "I'll let you go. Won't tell Batman, won't tell the cops you were here. So long as you tell me what I want to know! Do we have a deal Joker?"

The mad clown laughed.

"And why are you asking me?!"

Nightwing moved quickly, grabbing the clowns jacket collar, and pulling the madman closer.

"Because I know you've worked with the man I'm looking for. YOu have three seconds to agree, or Red Hood over there calls the police and Batman."

The Joker's gaze switched around from Nightwing to Red Hood and back again. After a moment he answered

"Alright. I'll tell you anything you wanna know. Who ya looking for?"

Nightwing looked up in our direction, and for a moment it was clear he'd known all along we were there. He licked his lips, before looking back down at the Joker.

"I'm looking for a man by the name of Tony Zucco. Few years ago I met a young boy by the name of RIchard Grayson in the hospital. He asked that I find and kill Tony Zucco. Do you know where he is?"

The Joker nodded.

"Yeah. Go the any place he's killed someone on the day and around the time he killed them. He always likes to go back and relish in that moment."

Nightwing nodded, and looked back up to us, before laughing

"Oh look Joker! Batman's here!"

I looked up at Batman who shrugged, and jumped down. The rest of us shared a looked before following down. We watched as Batman tied the Joker and his partners together. After a few seconds, I walked over to Nightwing.

"You knew Richard Grayson?"

He jumped as though not used to being spoken to, before nodding.

"Yep. We're really good friends actually. We….both lost our parents to Zucco. Red Hood and Robin over there did too. Both watched it. So, Richard isn't the only thing motivating me to find and kill Zucco. I've been searching for him since I was 13 years old."

I nodded, and turned around. After a few seconds I froze, before turning back around and whispering

"Are you Richard Grayson? The old Robin?"

He smirked before leaning close and whispering even quieter

"I don't know. Am I flash boy?"

My mouth dropped open, but before I could say anything, Firebird screamed

"Nightwing duck!"

He didn't get a chance to, before he was tackled to the ground by the Joker. The mad man screamed as he brandished a knife mere inches above Nightwing's face all the while screaming

"You tricked me! You knew all along he was up there!"

Before any of us could move, Batman had pulled the Joker off Nightwing, and knocked him into unconsciousness. I looked down at Nightwing. He lay there silent for a moment before standing and muttering

"I hate clowns."

I bent down to help him up, but he pushed me off, and stood on his own. Before he left, he turned to Batman.

"You're welcome."
