Chapter 2: Red Hood's Proposition
(Opening A/N: Wow, I had no idea that I was getting so many faves and follows. Anyway thanks to all who have faved and followed my work so far, and a special thanks to the guest, Mr. Grimjaw, and WindyCitySlayer who left me those great reviews, so thanks again to all of those who have made this story possible. Anyway, let's go to next chapter.)
All the drug dealers of Gotham showed up at an abandoned warehouse and they had no idea who called this meeting. Unbeknownst that a masked vigilante was in their midst...
"Any Idea who set this meeting?" The first dealer said, unaware of what's lurking on the catwalk above.
"I thought it was Chi-Chi. He's mostly pulling the strings." The second dealer said, but the dealer named Chi-Chi shook his head.
"No man, it wasn't me. I thought it was Black Mask." Chi-Chi said to defend his case, but the first dealer didn't like the idea of having Black Mask setting up any deals since he whacked eight of his loyal men.
"I don't think Black Mask could set up anything like this. I mean he whacked eight of my men in one month. Eight." The first dealer said, that was when the vigilante made his appearance via the catwalk above the group in front of the whole group of drug dealers.
"Actually this is my meeting and I would suggest listen to what I have to say." Red Hood said he trained the AK-47 on the group of drug dealers, he was also carrying a duffel bag under his right arm.
"We don't make deals with the likes of you." The second dealer said, that's the thing about the Red Hood, he doesn't take no for an answer.
Red Hood aimed the AK-47 at the group of dealer and squeezed the trigger wasting half the clip on the table but mostly as warning shots.
"Yeah let's deal with the guy who's holding a fucking Russian made AK-47. Let's see how well that rolls over. Anyway, I'm trying to make a deal with you. You can go about your deals, but kick up forty percent of your sales to me, and in return...I'll give you protection from both the mob and Batman. But I have one condition, you don't deal with kids. In other words, stay away from schools, parks, and playgrounds." Red Hood said, and he tossed the duffel bag onto the table that he already shot and one dealer unzipped the duffel bag revealing the head of those the Red Hood killed. When Chi-Chi got a good look of the severed heads. He began to puke onto the ground, that was a sign that people needed to trust the Red Hood.
"What are these?" The first dealer asked, and the Red Hood had an answer for them.
"Those are the heads of thirteen of your lieutenants. And I managed to collect these within six hours. Wanna see how many I can do in twice the amount of time?" Red Hood asked, but they agreed to Red Hood's proposition.
"Yeah, forty percent sounds good." The first dealer said, and the deal with the drug dealers was the first step to controlling the crime in Gotham City.
[Meanwhile, at the Gotham City Docks...]
There was a delivery truck with three men inside barreling down the docks at high speeds trying to lose Batman.
"Are you sure that the Batman is gone?" The first passenger said to the driver, and that ticked the driver off.
"How the hell am I supposed to know? You're the one who's supposed to be keeping an eye out." The driver said, and out of nowhere...there were a pair of well thrown Batarangs that popped the front and rear wheels of the delivery truck.
The truck flipped four times and landed on the roof. The delivery that was in the truck flew out when the truck began to flip. Inside it was an android which can mimic any superhuman. That android was called "Amazo." And it was then that both Batman and Nightwing made their appearance.
"Oh crap! It's Batman!" The driver said and they both grabbed the three thugs afterwards, the thugs were tied up.
The box began to open and Amazo activated. This is bad news for both Batman and Nightwing.
"You guys wanna know what you were delivering, it's a special type of android called 'Amazo.' And they have the ability to copy the powers of superhumans." Batman said, he knew that both he and Nightwing were going to be one hell of a fight.
Amazo used it's brute strength to try to flatten the dark knight, but to no avail. Batman pulled out a some type of electrified knuckles and slammed it into the left side of Amazo's face. You could say that Amazo is kind of like a Terminator on steroids. And it only pissed the Amazo off when Batman hit it right in the face.
"What's the story about Nightwing?" The first thug asked.
"He used to be the first Robin, until he grew out of that gig and decided to become Nightwing." The second thug answered, and Nightwing decided to get involved with the fight as well.
Batman tossed a small handful of smoke bombs and tries to use the smoke to confuse the Amazo. But to no Avail, Amazo used it's powerful heat vision to cut through the thick smoke like a hot knife through butter.
"He's shooting lazers, lazers." Nightwing said, and they dodged the lazers that were being blasted by Amazo.
So Batman and Nightwing used their grappling hooks to try to lure Amazo away from the thugs, but it turns out that Amazo has the ability to fly.
"Um, he can fly?!" Nightwing asked as he saw the Amazo try to grab him and with success...Amazo grabs Nightwing.
"He's got the same weak spots as a human." Batman informed his former sidekick, and Nightwing pulls out a pair of knives and stabs them into Amazo's ears causing it to release Nightwing.
As soon as Nightwing got out of Amazo's grasp, Batman placed what seemed to be putty into Amazo's eyes. The Amazo tried to remove the substance from it's eyes but without any success whatsoever.
"I don't think putting putty in his eyes is going to harm him..." Nightwing said, and that's when Batman pulled out a detonator and pressed the button making the "Putty" explode and decapitating the android.
"...But Plastique will, nice." Nightwing added, and now they had to ask who was behind this whole thing.
"Who are you working for?" Batman asked, and the thugs declared that this was their idea and trying to block the idea that Red Hood was behind this.
"This was all our idea, right guys?" The first thug asked the other two, but that's when Nightwing pressed the button causing what was left of Amazo to drop and scare the thugs into telling the truth. As soon as it was dropped the crane stopped at least one foot from the thug's heads.
"Okay we work for the Red Hood." The second thug said, but the Red Hood had them through the scope of an M-700 intervention bolt action sniper rifle.
The first thug had a bullet go through his left eye and exit out the back of his skull causing blood and brain to explode onto the metal container behind him and he died. The second thug got shot in the throat as he choked on his blood. And the third took a bullet through the nose causing the nose to explode and the bullet lodged into his head. The shooter was none other than the Red Hood, so both Nightwing and Batman both chased after the Red Hood. And when Batman fired a grappling line on Red Hood's ankle, and with proper timing...he cut the line before it could ensnare the vigilante. Red Hood then got into a 1969 Pontiac GTO, and barreled down the streets of Gotham. Batman then got into the Batwing and was in hot pursuit of the vigilante. As soon as Batman had the car in sight, he fired a power winch at the car. But the Red Hood wised up on the dark knight and turned the GTO into a convertible and he drove into the factory where he watched a fake Red Hood which he thought was the Joker die.
"Please don't hurt me Batman, I'm not the real Red Hood." The Red Hood Imposter said trying to take off the helmet, but to no avail.
The Imposter slipped on his cape and broke through the safety rail falling to his demise in some boiling hot liquid and he died. Red Hood watched as the dark knight had to face the consequences of what he did.
"Seeing one of your greatest failures happening? You'll be seeing the other one really soon, Batman." Red Hood said as he threw a smoke bomb and disappeared.
Batman had to find out who Red Hood is and tey to find out what his true goal really is...
