Hello there, hope you're all ready for our next chapter of The Red Fox. This chapter will have a little bit more action and will feature the first villain of the fanfic. Also, Naruto will find out just what Bruce and Dick really are. Thank you all by the way, for the amazing response that I've gotten from this fanfic. I hope that you all continue to enjoy it. For those of you who are wondering what the pairing will be, I have some of them, but nothing for Naruto yet. Now, let's get started.

Chapter Soundtrack-Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody

While it might have happened thousands of times a day in the normal world, getting into a giant hunk of metal and soaring into the air like some giant bird was startling to someone from the Hidden Leaf. Naruto was in one of the two back seats of the Batwing along with Dick, Alfred and Bruce were sitting in the front. He was looking out the window at water below in fear, a natural reaction all things considered.

Alfred figured now would be a good time to give the boy a little something. He turned to him and said in Japanese, "I've got a little something from Amanda for you. It's something that you put in your ear and it'll translate English so that you can understand it, even with you using the old form of Japanese. I'll be teaching you English once we get to Gotham, and I'll be teaching Bruce and Dick Japanese, but this will do for now. We all have ones of our own so that we can understand you when you speak as well."

Naruto took the earpiece and put it in. Then he looked around and asked, "Can all of you guys understand me now?"

The earpieces translated Naruto's words, and Bruce responded, "Yup, we got every word. So, are you excited to be going to Gotham?"

"Yeah, but I'm kind scared too. I don't know anyone there but you guys. I don't even speak the same language," Naruto responded, holding on to his bag of belongings tightly. There wasn't a whole lot of things that Naruto had that he felt he needed to bring. A few small gifts that Hiruzen had given him over the years, some Kunai that he'd gotten from the ninja's who were kind to him, things like that. Bruce had promised to get him new clothes already, so that was going to be taken care of when they got back.

Dick knew how scary it was to be moving to a new place, so he tried to reassure Naruto, "Don't worry bro, Gotham is great...for the most part. There's tons of people that I can't wait for you to meet. Barbara is just gonna love you."

Naruto looked over at Dick, glad to have him as his new brother, "Thanks...Bro."

Bruce loved that little bit he'd added at the end. He figured he should get to some of the more serious things, at least for a little while, "So Naruto, I'm gonna wanna start training you as soon as I can once we get home. Hiruzen gave me lots of scrolls to start teaching you stuff, and he said that the first thing I should teach you is Shadow Clones. I guess that most ninja's don't learn them since they take up a lot of chakra, but that isn't an issue since you have so much of it. Did I pronounce chakra right?"

"Yeah Dad, you got it right," Naruto said, loving finally having someone that he could call that, "How come the shadow clones are so good and why do I have so much chakra?"

Bruce knew that he had so much chakra because of the Kyuubi, but Naruto wasn't ready to know that, so he danced around the question, "Hiruzen explained the chakra thing to me, but I didn't understand it. The shadow clones are great because when you, as he put it, disperse them you remember what they did. If you do something with 20 clones, they might each pick up something different and you'll learn something 20 times faster. Alfred, how fast did you say you thought Naruto would be able to learn English?"

Alfred seemed to be doing math in his head, "If Naruto is as smart as I think he is and can make enough clones, he'll be able to learn it in about two, maybe two and a half, months."

Naruto liked the sound of that, since learning things could be a really pain sometimes, "That's so cool! Does that mean that I'm gonna be able to learn all the ninja stuff that fast too?"

Bruce didn't see why not, "Unless something comes up, yes you should. I'll be teaching you the ninja stuff and some of my own fighting styles too."

"You have a fighting style?" Naruto asked, having caught that last part.

Dick just had to get this one, "He doesn't just have one, he's the best hand to hand fighter in America! One of the best in the world really!"

Naruto gaped at the finding that out about his new father, "Wow, where did you learn to do that?"

Bruce looked at Dick in a slightly scolding manner, but wasn't too upset. He was going to have to tell Naruto about the whole Batman thing before long, but he wanted to ease the boy into it, "I traveled around the world, learning everything that I could. My parents died when I was very young, and it was a very bad time for me. My dad had tried hard to be a good man, and, sort of like you, wanted to prove that Gotham was a good place. I became a hero so that I could do that."

"You're a hero? That's awesome too!" Naruto said, getting more and more excited. His dad was sounding like a real bad ass!

Bruce decided that this was a conversation that needed to wait, as it would be easier to explain later, "I think I'll finish explain all of this when we get home. It'll be easier there. Do you wanna start eating that ramen you brought with you? You don't want it to get cold."

Naruto pulled up the ramen that was in his lap and smelled it. It was just as delectably smelling as always. He saw the small paper attached to it and read it for what must have been the hundredth time, "Naruto, we're really going to miss having you in the hidden Leaf, but we're glad to know that you finally have a family to call your own. Thanks for all the fun time you gave us at Ichiraku's. To us, you'll always be that greatful little boy who came to our stand thin as a piece of paper. We'll always remember you, Ayame and Teuchi."

A sad smile graced Naruto's face as he read it once again. They were the only people in the village who'd been willing to feed them. Quite simply, they were some of the best people in the Leaf, "There's some people back home that I really wish I didn't have to leave. Not all of them were bad, ya know?"

"If it's any consolation, I spoke to them before we left and they gave me the recipe. I'll be able to make you it whenever you like," Alfred said, knowing that this must not have been easy for the boy.

Naruto took off the top of the container and got out his chopsticks, "That's nice, but it just won't be the same. No offense."

Alfred noted his eating you utensils, "Not at all my boy, I understand. Would you like me to teach you how to use a fork someday? Might help you integrate a little better if you did."

"Nah," Naruto said, digging into his food, "I wanna keep some of the stuff from the hidden Leaf. Can't forget my home entirely."

None of them could really fault him for that. The rest of the plane ride went more or less the same way, that is until Naruto fell asleep. He'd had a very big day, and he needed sometime to rest. Luckily, the seats in the Batwing were very comfortable. His dreams were filled with hopes for his new home, as well as those he'd miss from the home he'd left. It was one of the most peaceful sleeps he'd had in a long time.

When Naruto awoke, he found himself lying on a couch in a very elegant living room. Various forms of art lined the walls, nice vases were on the tables, the whole nine yards. He jumped off from the sofa and looked around the room, "Dad really is rich. This is the nicest house I've ever been in."

"Well thank you," Bruce said, coming up behind Naruto, "But it's just for show really. When you're a businessman like me, you need to keep up appearances."

Naruto gave him a confused glance, still unsure what his new father did for a living, "I thought that you said you were a hero or something?"

Bruce could see that it was time to get a little deeper into that, "Well, officially I'm a the owner of the long running, multi-billion dollar company. However, I don't really do much of that myself. I've got far more important things to attend to. Protecting Gotham City is my number one priority."

"How do you protect Gotham City?" Naruto asked, eager to finally get all the information out there.

Bruce moved his head from side to side, trying to decided how he wanted to put this, "I'm something of a Dark Knight for Gotham. The kind of guy who puts fear into the hearts of criminals. Sort of like your ninjas back at the hidden Leaf."

Naruto was liking this more and more by the second, "Really? Like how? Do you go and fight people, like take them out and stuff?"

Bruce was about to open his mouth to tell him he was on the right track, but he there was a very loud knock at the door. Whoever was at it, clearly wasn't going to wait to be answered, "Hold on to that thought Naruto. I need to go and see who that is."

Naruto watched Bruce walk down a short hall, then heard a door open. The voice of a young woman came from the hall, "Where?"

While he had no idea who that was, Naruto could tell that Bruce trusted her, because he said, "He's in the living room, but,"

The next thing Naruto knew, a girl with red hair bolted in front of him. It was the daughter of famous commissioner James Gordon, Barbara Gordon. She seemed very psyched to meet Naruto, "Oh my gosh, you're even cuter than Bruce said you were on the phone. I just love your little whiskers, they're so darn adorable!"

She started to rub her finger across them, and Naruto couldn't keep himself from giggling, "Hey, stop that! It tickles!"

"I have no idea what you said," Barbara said, as she had no translator in her ear like the rest of them.

Bruce took a translator out of his pocket and tossed it to her, "Here, put this on. If you'd let me finish, I would've told you that Naruto only speaks Japanese. We'll be teaching him English very shortly and Dick and I will try to learn to speak his language."

Barbara put it in and then turned back to Naruto, "Sorry about that. My names Barbara, I'm friends with Bruce and Dick. I was hoping that you and I could be friends too. How does that sound?"

Naruto didn't know her as well as he knew Bruce and Dick yet, but she seemed nice enough, "I guess that we could try that. I'm Naruto, and Bruce is gonna be my new dad. Dick's gonna be my new big brother too! Did you know that my dad's a hero?"

"Why yes, I did. In fact, I even help him with it sometimes," Barbara responded, then quickly looked like she'd remembered something, "Oh crap, that's actually why I came over here. Bruce there's something that we need to talk about. I overheard my dad saying something that I think you might be interested in."

As this point Alfred and Dick had come into the room, which was good, because Naruto needed some questions answered, "Her dad? Who's hear dad?"

"Oh, he's the Police Commissioner, which is like the leader of law enforcement here," Dick explained.

Barbara quickly told Bruce, "That guy who's been running Arkham Asylum, I think his name is Jonathan Crane, he's up to something."

Bruce frowned at the very mention of Arkham. It was an asylum for Gotham's most criminally insane, which they Gotham had plenty of, but it was as porous as a teapot. Criminals escaped from there left and right, and it hadn't gotten any better since the strange Dr. Jonathan Crane had taken over. There was just something unsettling about being around the man and Bruce didn't trust him, "What's the weirdo up to this time?"

"He's got some politicians visiting him at the Asylum," Barbara began, spitting out the word politicians with disgust, "And not the honest ones. I'm talking the people that Cobblepot usually work with."

Naruto didn't know any of these names, "Who's Crane and Cobblepot?"

"I'll explain it to you later," Alfred whispered to him then turned to Bruce, "What do you plan to do Master Bruce? It's the middle of the day, not really time for your more 'nocturnal' attire, but I'm to sure you have a choice."

Bruce knew that this was something that he had to attend to as soon as possible. Crane was way too much of a risk the way things stood, "Naruto, would you be alright if I stepped out for a bit? I know that you just got here and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you."

Naruto understood it, as he knew that lots of ninja parents had trouble making time for their kids too. Adults were busy, "It's okay dad, if you need to go then go. I'll get to see you later though, right?"

"Of course, I'm gonna make time for you just like I do Dick. I'm usually only busy at night, so I'll be home for much of the day. I'll help you start some of your training tomorrow, okay? You need a day to get used to your surroundings anyways."

Naruto loved the idea of finally starting his training, "Finally! I'm gonna be a super awesome ninja guy!"

Bruce was eager to start as well, but he had to attend to something with Barbara first, "Let's get going Barb. You and me are gonna go and see if we can't sneak into the Asylum and listen in on their conversation. Maybe get a bug in Crane's office too. Dick, I want you to stay here with Naruto, okay?"

"Sure, infiltration missions are kind of boring anyways," Dick said, being rather blunt. That's not to say he didn't enjoy the infiltration missions from time to time, but he just found a good fight far more entertaining.

Bruce walked towards the hallway and motioned for Barbara to follow him, "Come on Barb. Let's go get dressed before we go."

Naruto watched them leave, mainly looking at their clothes, "But they're already dressed, aren't they?"

Dick laughed at his ignorance, "Not dressed right for what they're doing. Like Bruce said, it'll all be explained when they get home. You wanna go watch me do some of the tricks I learned in the circus and then we can go play some video games?"

"What's a video game?" Naruto questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Dick laughed a put a his arm around him, "Oh my little brother, I've got so much to teach you."

"Don't get him to absorbed in anything, tomorrow I start teaching him English," Alfred called as the two young ones ran off to have their fun.

Once Bruce and Barbara had left and Dick and Naruto ran off to have their fun, Alfred began to clean the house. He may have been a friend of the family, but he still took his job very seriously. He was in the kitchen at the moment, washing up the counters and doing a little dusting. The house was almost always spotless, and he was the sole reason for that.

As Alfred finished with the kitchen and stood back to admire his work, a very disturbing noise came from a few halls away. It sounded like cracking, so his first thought was that Dick and Naruto were breaking something. However, he quickly realized that sound was coming from the front door. When he finally reached it, he saw it had been splinter and was on the edge of being kicked in. Another loud thud was heard as the splints of wood shot from the door. Alfred had no clue what was going on, but at he did know it wasn't good.

His MI6 training kicked right in and he started to run to where he figured Dick and Naruto must have been, "Oh lord, of all the days for this to happen!"

In less than a minute he burst into Dick's room to find Naruto fidgeting with a controller that he clearly didn't understand, "Wait, which button did you say I pressed to jump?"

Dick would've answered if he'd been looking at Naruto, but Alfred's presence had thrown him off, "Alfred where's the fire? I haven't seen you run that fast in ages."

"No time to explain," Alfred panted out, "Someone's breaking down the front door. We need to get down to the Batcave now!"

Dick didn't ask anymore questions. He picked up a confused Naruto and ran out into the hall along with Alfred. Naruto was lost as he tried to see where his brother was taking him. It was all kind of a blur as Alfred ran up to a clock and began to toy with it's hands. Out of nowhere, the clock shot open like a door. Everyone ran inside of the opening it revealed and down the stairs that came along with it.

"Where are we going?" Naruto screamed, as the steps ended and he was surrounded by monitors and computers. There was all kinds of technology that he couldn't identify.

Robin sat him down and then ran to Batcomputer, starting to type stuff in, "This is the Batcave. It's our base of operations for protecting Gotham. You know how Bruce said that he was a hero?"

Naruto nodded, looking at all of the crazy new things that filled this place, "Yeah, does this stuff have something to do with it?"

"That it does," Robin started as he pulled up the security monitors, "He knew that it would put those he cared about in danger if people knew who he was, and that a symbol was more powerful than a man could ever be. The short version of this is, he became vigilante known as Batman, wearing a costume so that no one would know who he was. When he adopted me he made me his sidekick, Robin. Barbara is Batgirl. It's our job to protect this city from the crazies that run it."

Naruto wanted to see what was on the monitor, so he ran up beside Dick, "He puts on a costume? Like, he dresses up as a Bat?"

Dick knew that it sounded silly, "It doubles as armor and holds lots of gadgets for defending himself. I'll show what I mean later, we've gotta keep this place safe first."

"If people don't know who dad really is, then why is someone attacking his house?" Naruto asked, as some of Dick's statements were contradicting one another.

Dick was trying to answer Naruto's question as they spoke, "Hold on, I've almost got got a clear view of who they are. Let me see if I can get the audio up and running."

That's when everyone quieted down as on the screen a group of men appeared. Five men, all in grungy, black clothes, and oddly colorful masks. They were followed in by a slightly overweight man in dirty street clothes. He was covered in various forms of technology. There was a woman holding a gun to the back of his head. As he walked forward, they got a view of a woman with blond hair tied in two ponytails wearing a half red, half black corset, with matching pants and shoes. She was a curvy, seductive girl, and she was grinning from ear to ear. The final member of the party walked in. It was a man with green hair, white skin, and blood red lips that had been carved into a twisted smile. A purple suit with a little flower was what he wore. One look in his eyes was all it took to see he was one deranged son of a bitch.

"Why is a clown trying to break in here?" Naruto asked as he looked at the bizarre man walking into the house.

Dick told him before he silenced him, "That's not a clown Naruto, it's one most insane men ever to live. The notorious clown prince of crime and our old nemesis, The Joker. He thinks the whole world is a joke and simply spends trying to, as he puts it, 'Have fun.' His idea of fun is destroying and killing just about everything in sight, along with his other brand of bizarre crimes. The blonde is his whipping girl, Harley Quinn. As for the chubby guy, I think it's a local hacker nicknamed the Calculator. The rest of them are just the Joker's goons. Listen close now, I wanna see if he'll say why he's here."

All of them listened closely as the audio became a little more clear and the Joker began to speak, "Well, isn't this a swanky place? Just look at all the fancy little nick knacks around here. Pity we had to break the door down, that looked expensive. Oh well, the guy's rich! He can replace it all. Oh hey, let's line up some of the vases like bowling pins and we can use Calculators head for a bowling ball!"

"But Mr. J," Harley Quinn started in her bizarre, squeaky kind of voice, "We still need this guy to keep the mansion's security offline. That's why we kidnapped him, right?"

The Calculator scowled as the Joker ranted on, "Eh, I'm a terrible bowler anyways. The important part is, we need to find that kid! The one with the spiky blonde hair from the paper!"

The group in the Batcave audibly gasped as one of the Joker's men pulled out a newspaper with Bruce on the front, carrying Naruto inside Wayne Manor. It must have only been printed a few hours ago, since Naruto had been in Gotham for less than a day. The fact that it made the cover of Gotham Daily made sense. Bruce had told his publicist that handled all of his affairs for Wayne Tech. to inform public he was adopting again on the way back from the Hidden Leaf, so the papers had already latched onto the story like a group leeches. That was the media for ya.

The Joker grabbed the paper his goon had and looked it over, "I've been thinking of having a kid for years, but I don't want poor Harley to ruin that flexible little body of her's popping out a kid!"

Harley put her hand on her hip and said with pride, "You know it Puddin'! There's no why I'm going through the so called 'Joys' of childbirth!"

"Exactly. So, this little kid here," Joker said, smacking the paper, "Is the answer! Just think about it! I'll teach him how throw playing cards, make high powered explosives, mix up some laughing gas, skin people alive and make their face's into a mask. Ah, the joys of fatherhood. All mine ever did was throw a baseball around with me."

One of goons turned to him, "Really?"

The Joker shrugged, "Maybe, hell if I can remember. Now come on, let's find that kid!"

Back at the Batcave, Dick and Alfred watched as they all spread out to look for Naruto. Expect for Harley Quinn that is, who was busy keeping an eye on the Calculator as he typed something out on a little tablet he had on him. Alfred was at least happy about one thing, "Well, they don't know who Master Bruce is. That's an upside. However, Naruto could be in danger though. We need to keep him in here until the Joker's is apprehended."

"Good idea. So Naruto, don't," That's when Dick noticed that Naruto wasn't there, "Naruto? Naruto!"

Naruto was no where to be seen. In fact, he wasn't even in the room at all. Alfred was both terrified and impressed, "I heard that he'd escaped from the ANBU Special Ops back where he was from, but I figured that was just a rumor. Where did that boy run off to?"

"Oh you've gotta be kidding me!" Dick yelled, looking back at the monitors.

Alfred saw that Dick was looking at the corner monitor, which was showing Naruto sneaking around the halls with his arms full of various little gadgets that Batman was famous for using. It was clear was the boy was planning to do, "He's going to try and take them out himself. Set some traps and things like that. I don't even think he knows what half of those things do."

Dick got a little nervous, "Well...I was sort of showing him a lot of them in my room before we started playing video games. I just told him that they were something Bruce's company made. Not a lie actually."

"Master Grayson, did you really think that doing something like that was wise?" Alfred asked, grinding his teeth a little. He loved the boy like his own, but this was not the time to be taking risks like that.

Dick could tell how much trouble he was going to be in later, "Look, I know what I did was stupid, but this really isn't the time to judge. We need to get the security systems back online, and it looks like that tablet that the Calculator has is what's causing the jam. If Naruto knew how to avoid those ANBU guys, he can manage a couple of Joker's henchmen for a while. I'll get in close, hack the jamming signal wirelessly, and then go and find Naruto. He'll be safe, and the security system while either takes those guys out, or make them run for the hills."

Alfred was glad to see the boy still had some logic in him, "Now that sounds like you're using your head a bit more. Get it done, I'll keep an eye on our 'friends' from here and radio if any issues should come up."

Dick nodded and then ran off to get dressed. He need to do this in his Robin outfit if he was gonna do it at all, as he was able to move much better in that. Alfred was mumbling to himself as Dick left, "Please Naruto, you're already like family to us. Don't let us lose you so soon."

Naruto hadn't grown up with a lot. He'd had next to nothing actually, so now that he had a family, he was going to protect it! His big brother had shown him how to use all kind of cool stuff a little earlier, and he had plenty of ideas as to what to do with them. Five of the guys who were coming at them were just goons, Naruto knew that he could trick them. It was finally time to put his pranking skills to use!

Two of Joker's grunts were walking through the house with their handguns at the ready. Of course they wouldn't actually shoot the kid, they just needed the guns to scare him was all. They walking down the hall, chatting each other up. One of them leaned over and said, "So does the boss really think that this kid is worth all the trouble? When you kidnap the son of the richest man in Gotham, it's gonna kick up a shitstorm."

The other one seemed to be in agreement, "Maybe, but are you really gonna argue with the Joker?"

"Hell no," the first one scoffed, "The last guy who did that was strung up by his thumbs. Joker said he wanted to see if his argument could, 'Hang in there.'"

The other one shook his head at the antics of his boss. There was times that he thought about leaving this gang, but you never crossed the Joker, not if you wanted to live anyways. Before he could respond, a small tapping came from the kitchen. It almost sounded like little feet pattering across a tile floor. One of the grunts looked to his partner and gave him signal to be quiet. They put up their pistols and turned to enter the kitchen. In less than one second, they realized their mistake.

A small ping was heard, and both of their eyes shot down to see that they'd tripped a wire under their feet. Three cylinders that had been held to ceiling by duct tape were pulled down by the wire. They went off when they hit the ground, releasing a sticky, yellow substance all over the criminals.

"What in the hell? These are the Bat's Glue Grandes!" One of the criminals screamed, struggling just to try and move as the substance covered him.

The other one was just as confused, "He hasn't used these bastards in years! Why the hell would he,"

Before he could finish, a small disk slid towards their feet and made a distinctive click. Waves of electricity shot from the disk and at the Joker's grunts. They both fell to the ground unconscious as a Naruto poked his head out from under the table, "Ha, that was easy! I'll just tie em up and let dad do the rest when he gets here. Now, how to take care of those other ones…"

While his little brother was busy trying to take out the issue in his own way, Robin was off to try and take out the heart of the issue. He had his earpiece set so that he could Alfred could communicate with him and keep him updated on how Naruto was doing. Speaking of which, a voice then came into his ear, "Master Grayson, you're not going to believe this. Naruto actually managed to take two of those fools out."

"Really? Huh, guess his pranks must have been better than we thought," Robin responded in a whisper, making sure not to alert anyone that was around him. He knew this mansion like the back of his hand, so he was making to Harley very quickly. His plan was just to not alert her at all, as she was one hell of a fighter. She'd gone toe to toe with with plenty of heroes on more than one occasion. Luckily, there was a way to circumvent Harley altogether, all he would need was a little help from the Calculator. If he could get it anyways.

If there was one thing to admire about the Joker, it was the fact that he always got down and dirty with his men. That included looking for the little boy that was currently the object of his attention. He had been searching for twenties minutes in fact, and was starting to get bored, "Come on, where is this little brat? Maybe I'll just burn the house down. Either he'll run out and I can catch him, or he'll die, and he wasn't worth my time anyways. Of course my men could die too...meh, I'll file it under a maybe."

It was as he was ranting to himself that he stepped on someone's leg. The leg belonged to one of his men, and he was tied up along with another person. Joker could see they were covered in some kind dried goop, and they had some electrical burns on them as well. All of the sudden the Joker started to jump for joy, "Batsy's here! Oh goodie, goodie, goodie! This just got a lot more fun!"

One of his men groaned and he gave him brief pat on the head, "Now you two sit tight. I've got some work to do. Forget the brat, it's time for the bat! Hahaha!"

The Joker practically skipped away, completely unaware that Naruto was still hiding in the kitchen having just finished tying up the goons. He figured that it was only natural that the Joker thought his dad was there, since he was using his tech. Naruto was thinking hard about what to do next when he heard the Joker suddenly call to his men, "Anyone who's still up and can hear me, we've got a friend here! I don't how the Batman knew we were coming, but he's already taken out two us! One of you go and take care of napping twins, the other two come with me!"

Once Naruto heard that, he knew just what to do. He took out one of the smoke bombs and held it tight in his hand. Footsteps got closer and closer to two men, and Naruto's palms started to get sweaty. There wasn't going to be a second shot at this, so he needed to make it perfect.

"Oh come on. He's using that glue shit again. It's impossible to get off your clothes. Man, I'm in my best duds too," The lackey complained as he finally got the two men. As soon as Naruto knew that he was in range, he went into action.

He threw the smoke bomb right at his foe, causing a cloud of smoke to surround the Joker's goon. Naruto started to run as the man coughed from inhaling the smoke. Even though he couldn't see what was going on, the goon started to head right towards what he thought was the Batman. The moment that he got out of the smoke, something caught his legs and fell flat on his face. What he didn't know was that Naruto had taken some of his leftover wire and quickly set up a nice little trap. The wire was strung out just far enough for the goon to trip over, and, before he could even get up, Naruto grabbed frying pan and whacked him over the head with it. The moron was out in no time.

"It wasn't pretty, but it worked," Naruto said to himself. If he'd had more time he would've come up with something better, not that it mattered. They were knocked out now.

"Hey, I heard something over here," Someone yelled from the other room.

Naruto knew that meant it was time to leave, so he ran to get back to the Batcave, "That's all I've got Dick, hope you can handle the rest!"

Robin was literally about ten feet away from the Calculator, hiding behind a wall so that Harley Quinn couldn't see him. He raised up his arm, activating his holographic computer interface. This was probably the most advanced piece of equipment that he had, as it connected him to the Batcomputer. He began to type on the holographic keys, hacking into the Calculator's system's. Either this was gonna fix everything, or it would nearly get him killed. His fingers were crossed that it wasn't the latter.

The Calculator soon noticed that there was text appearing on the corner his tablet that hadn't been there before. It read, "I'm going to turn the silent alarms back on. I know you're not here of your own free will, so just let me to it and don't tell Harley. The cops will come and scare Harley and Joker off. It'll be a win for us both-R."

The Calculator knew the R must have been Robin, having dealt with the kid plenty of times before. He was more than happy to sit there and the police come, he'd just hightail it out of there once they got close. This issue would merely work itself out.

Alfred began to sound off in Robin's ear as he got the systems back up, "Master Grayson, tell me that you've almost got this fixed. The Joker and his men are making a real mess of the mansion."

"It'll be back in few seconds," Robin confirmed, "What about Naruto? Is he alright?"

Alfred was glad to have to some good news for this one, "He's one his way back to the cave as we speak. He should be here far before the Joker's goons find him. There's only two of them left thanks to him. Actually, they're not to far from you. Maybe once you're finished, you can go and take them out. Might make the Joker leave even more quickly."

Robin couldn't see why not, "I'll do just that in a second. First thing's first though."

Robin quickly typed the last of the codes in the system and finally got the silent alarms going. The police would be here in a matter of minutes, which would have the Joker running for the hills. He'd just broken out of Arkham, he wouldn't want to risk going back so soon. The man was crazy, not stupid. Once he finished, Robin turned hologram off and out his bo staff. It was time to end this little intrusion.

Getting chewed out was something that Naruto had gotten used to over the years. The old man, adults, other kids, pretty much everybody liked to yell at him. The only first in this situation was that it was Alfred who was yelling at him, "Master Naruto, I realize that you felt the need to go and prove yourself, or protect us, or something along those line, but what you just did was incredibly dangerous! Did you not hear us say just how insane the Joker is? He could've killed you!"

Naruto slumped in his seat. He'd only been back in the cave a few seconds before Alfred tore into him, "But I did good, didn't I? I took out the bad guys."

"I know you did Naruto, and that was impressive, but what if something had gone wrong? Everyone here cares about you very deeply. Can you imagine how we'd feel if something happened to you?" Alfred questioned.

That one hurt Naruto. He never wanted to make his new family sad, "I'm sorry Alfred, I'm still getting used to a lot of this. Most people didn't care when I ran off at my old home."

Alfred sighed, knowing that there was some truth to what the boy had said, "That may have been the case there, but here you must do as we ask of you. Please Naruto, just wait for us to tell you what to do from now on."

Naruto nodded glumly and walked over to Alfred, giving him a small hug, "I promise I'll be careful."

Alfred hugged the boy back, finding it near impossible to stay mad at him, "Well, that's enough of that. How about we just go and see if your brother is managing alright with the Joker and his friends?"

Naruto quickly ran over to the monitor, Alfred not far behind him. They found that Robin was in the living room, beating the ever loving crap out of one of the Joker's goons. The other one had already been knocked out, and the Joker himself was standing on the side with a chair, seeming to be waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Robin swept the goon's legs with his staff and knocked him to his feet, then swung it back around and hit him in the temple. Needless to say, the man wasn't awake for long. That's when the Joker struck, "Let's see how you like this one Birdbrain!"

The Joker ran up behind him with the chair, but Robin spun around used his staff to block. A chair was no match for the well built weapon of the boy wonder. It broke over the staff, causing the Joker to scowl, "Oh come on! Can't you people just use something cheap for once?"

Robin smirked, actually finding what the Joker had said funny. That was until the Joker grabbed the flower on his shirt a began to spary acid at him. The acid nearly burned Robin's face, as he'd only managed to dodge it by a few inches. Taking out his knife and spinning it around in his hand, the Joker started to gain the upper hand, "If I can take the Batman, I can take a punk like you. I haven't even gotten out half of my toys yet! Why don't you just point me to the boss man so that you can run along home, huh?"

"Batman isn't even here genius," Robin said, going in for the kill, "The only people who are coming here is the cops, because I managed to turn the silent alarms back on."

The smile left the Joker's face and he began to scowl, "Dammit, I can't get caught yet! I've still got a few gags to set up before I had back to the Asylum. Harley, cut the Calcu-what's-it loose! We've gotta split!"

Harley pulled her gun away from the Calculator and shot at the window, breaking it open, "Right behind ya puddin'!"

The Joker ran over to the window and dove out, Harley quickly following suit. The Calculator soon fled as well, though he went in a different direction. Robin ran to the window just in time to see them run to their car for a quick getaway. It was a relief to see them go, even if it meant they were escaping. He turned around and took off his mask, "Well, that was a close one."

"I noticed," A voice behind him said, and Robin didn't need to turn around to know it was Bruce in his Batsuit, "Care to explain to me what the hell happened here."

Robin faced Bruce and saw the Babara was still with him, "The Joker busted in to try and kidnap Naruto. I guess when he heard you had a new kid, he thought that he might take him for his own. At least we got him out of here with… lets say minimal damage."

Barbara looked worried, even with her mask on, "What about Naruto? Is he okay? Oh, he must have been so scared."

"Actually, he took out three of the guys himself," Robin told her, shocking the fifteen year old girl, "I'm not kidding. He nabbed some of your guy's gear and used his pranking tricks to to knock them out. Go check the kitchen, that's where they're at."

Before any of them could, Naruto and Alfred appeared. They could come out now that they knew it was safe. Naruto ran right up to Batman, "Dad, that's your costume? It's so cool! Can I get one?"

Bruce took of his mask and looked down at Naruto, "I don't know, I just heard that you went and attacked a bunch of armed criminals. There's no way that Alfred just let you do that."

Naruto got a sheepish look on his face, "Oh, about that…"

Bruce waved it off for now, "We'll talk about it later. Let's get all this cleaned up and then we can share stories about what all happened to today. Although something tells me that yours was more interesting."

The next few hours were spent cleaning up and handing the criminals off to the police. Five of the Joker's men was something the police was happy to get, though it did force Bruce to come up with some kind of excuse for everything that had happened. In the end, it all worked out for the best. Everyone was safe. That's what mattered.
