Meanwhile in the Flugelheim museum the place is quiet like the thief is that there yet as Claydoll is inside in the dark in the Detective vision on to see the dark as she spot a guard lying on the ground no footprints but stitches like a doll as Claydoll search for a pulse as she sighs in relief that whoever got him is too busy trying to get the portrait to be killing someone until she scanning the stitches and the Bat Computer automatically give her heat signatures to who attack the guard and follows the trail.
"This can lead me to the thief or maybe the portrait itself." Claydoll assume as she creeps in through the darkness and find the portrait but with what looks like a Doll's head with two X on each eye.
"Magnificent the portrait is exactly where it belongs but why someone left their doll head besides it?" Claydoll asked herself
"Maybe it's because he need something that can stretch his heart together." A voice answer as Claydoll looks back in shock
"Did that doll just talked? That's silly no way!" Claydoll said to herself as she walks up to the portrait and check up close to the doll and just when she grabs the eyes the doll screams like a man making a girl scream as Claydoll let out a shock of scream and back off as the doll now rise up and flops his back almost like he snap his own back on the portrait as Claydoll looks in disturb yet amazed by the strange floppy movement
"How are you doing that!? What are you doing here?" Claydoll asked as the odd man now get up but never turn his body to Claydoll but twist his head like an owl and smile.
"Ah so you must be the Magnificent Claydoll that Karlo kid was talking on and on about she said you're come to stop me from taking this next big wonderful not yet a portrait but this one is a portrait of one of my favorite person Baby Doll. Oh but you can call me Ragdoll or is that rip off your name maybe Raggy? Nope silly cartoon heh Ragdoll it is." Ragdoll said while he is sitting down floppy his head on the ground and one handstand and keep his body turn back except his arms, legs, and head then hop up gets his body back to a flop on his twist his body back to normal.
Claydoll is still mind boggled by what she just seen.
"How he even doing that? The only things I can is hook my legs and twist my arms." Claydoll thought to herself
"So you are Katherine's lackey huh well listen Ragdoll I don't really have time for all you guys shenanigans and you're not stealing this portrait out of here. Even if I have to tie you to a knot for real." Claydoll threatened as Ragdoll drop his legs while handstand with legs beside torso as he gasp dramatically and stands up now floppy around as if he trying to get his body straight.
"Oh there we go! How about I don't think I'm supposed to let you go little lady in fact you have to come get me first before you take my next fan collection." Ragdoll respond nonchalantly
"Don't mind that but I do have to judge from your status you are quite like me minus the super strength and heal factor." Claydoll accept the challenge as she's ready to put a strike the creepy doll man but Ragdoll bend his spine back then twist his head 360 degree and spin kicks Claydoll face as he is joyfully bounce up and trying to wrap Claydoll like a snake until Claydoll choose to break free by slammed Ragdoll to the ground like she's fighting a snake since Ragdoll is hissing like one and pins him down after handcuffed him from behind.
"Got you!" Claydoll shouts
"Actually forgot to mention that I can easily escape to most things that like bars, small spaces anything a doll or paper can get out from. Hey want to see?" Ragdoll asked as he now twist his leg then wrap them at Claydoll's neck and flips her over to get up so he can flips his handcuff arms over his head and twist them back to get his cuffs off.
"Darn I can't be playing with this man he is just playing with me I got to play smart." Claydoll thought to herself as she get up feeling distressed and frustrated.
"You must be ready for the unexpected now that. You survived well clay grasshopper let's try go to take it to next level." Ragdoll trying to do a sensei impression as he now jump up to kick Claydoll but she grab his ankle then Ragdoll twist his ankle to spin kick her again to get him down.
"Oh CD I'm beginning to see what Katherine is saying about when you let what's in front of you get can keep you distracted from what's really going on like when I so distracted by the excitement I just remember to give you the next level!" Ragdoll words get Claydoll a puzzle look.
"Wait what's Katherine planning during this time?" Claydoll asked
"Oh something about wanted to give you something to keep you on your toes while she fetch some shows to get the flying squirrel girl to get in her hideout or something like that I forget the rest you know Karlo and her CD this and CD that and all you guys yak yak yak to her sleep hahahaha!" Ragdoll explain as Claydoll gets irritated and walk up to Ragdoll as he back off.
"WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO WITH BLACK BAT!!!" Claydoll shouts demanded answer to what might happen to Black Bat as Ragdoll make his girl scream.
"Stay away little lady you not only to like what happened with you touch me. Mommy!" Ragdoll erratic behavior has been ignore by Claydoll as she grab his shoulder but unaware that Ragdoll has knives to stab Claydoll stomach to back her off as she holding the wounds to heal it.
"I try to tell you huh kids theses day no sense of obeying a warning try to have a adventures." Ragdoll said playfully as Claydoll close her eyes then smile reveals the stab wound is not there.
"Awww just like doll getting stitches up after a boo boo let's make more." Ragdoll reaction to Claydoll's healing factor
"What part of the name "Claydoll" that you don't understand!?" Claydoll asked as she dodges knives from Ragdoll and once she survived the swing she check the costume to teared up from her gloves to her suit.
"I am really enjoying watching you troubled here but now once I done I'll take my Portrait away so."Ragdoll pull a raspberry then try to wrap Claydoll like a snake but with knifes as Claydoll is have marks and wrestle down the Ragdoll and swinging trying everything until she managed connected her fists and kicks at Ragdoll and bump on walls to get him off and made him dazed and floppy down after being slammed through the places and attacks while wrapping Claydoll.
"Hiss at least I get to have a photo of me and her ohhhh." Ragdoll been subdue to unconsciousness as Claydoll heal herself and take Ragdoll outside to the cop by rolling him like a tied up ball.
Outside Bullock and the rest of the other cops witness the torn suited Magnificent Claydoll roll up the Ragdoll who's still unconscious which shocked Bullock and force as if Claydoll taken a life.
"What is going on here!? Oh you just go too far and give this guy the twist end of the lifetime!?" Bullock asked Claydoll as he points a gun on her.
"Wait that's not true Detective Bullock you see this guy is not only a thief in the place but he is also a contortionist like a doll hence given the name Ragdoll just check on his pulse it's like he is a real doll sir!" Claydoll begging Bullock to not arrest her and sees for himself by checking Ragdoll's pulse on his neck and felt beating within the pulse.
"Humph I guess he is a contortionist after all, anyone who can wrap themselves up to a ball and lived is enough for me." Bullock respond with relief as he pulls off Ragdoll mask revealed to have hazel eyes and blonde hair.
"Never seen this guy before this rate is seems that these scumbags had a help wanted signs like you guys appear to be doing with that Spoiler and Black Bat kid." Bullock said the officers roll up Ragdoll into the back in the police car.
"Speaking of them* "I'm sure we can still win and thanks Detective Bullock for waiting until me and Ragdoll come out just make sure he don't get behind bars he can just wiggle himself through." Claydoll respond smile as she walks up to him and shake his hand.
"Yeah sure you're welcome. You know out of all of the Bats, Birds and now a waking eggplant, you are possibly the strangest of them all usually most of you would just stare,small talk then disappear but never act all friendly and smiley most of the time." Bullock explained as Claydoll giggles at his opinion.
"Well goes to show you can't judge everyone by it's cover even if they may seem a little strange." Claydoll said with her hands on her hips dramatically
"I'll just say you did good on knowing who you should really thank for having around and be done with it." Bullock turned back as Claydoll felt her Bat communicator just been called in.
"But between you and me maybe I can get used having Magnificent guardian on my shoulder for other crazies out and about. What!?" Bullock turns back to where Claydoll supposed to be but only to see that she vanish except a Batarang with a note saying
Of course sir we should look out for each other too and sorry I left, something's up. Sighed Your guardian The Magnificent Claydoll!"
"And yet you just keep proving to be more stranger almost as the Bat." Bullock just takes the note and drive off in the police car.
Claydoll is hidden on top of the museum watching the cops leave with Ragdoll as she see who called her.
"Claydoll this is Black Bat during your investigation in the museum your sister just purposely give me her location in the old Panessa Studios and challenge me to come face her I'll let you know how the fight goes see that I know how to stop you in a fight." Black Bat inform Claydoll which shocked her
"WHAT!? Listen Black Bat don't head there only wait until I come with you please Katherine is not someone you can just play around with on your own she's does not hold anything back unlike me I don't want you to be her next victim. You got to step down!" Claydoll order Black Bat as she stares at Claydoll irritatedly through and take huge sighed.
"Listen to me sis I know about all the stories you warned me about what she's all about and I been through higher risk before. But I'm not going tolerate it with you thinking I'm just an weak headstrong amateur who don't know what I'm doing! You should be helping the city with her group it's what Batman would want." Black Bat trying to not be upset with Claydoll's overprotective behavior.
"I know that but I can't risk my family meaning you Robin and everyone in our team to be hurt or killed by Katherine's chaotic murderous rampage it's bad enough that I lost my grandfather and now those kids are following her insane philosophy but you are like to a sister I wish I had. Please don't you see Black Bat I never felt so happy about having a sibling before only to see that now you are going to foolishly rush to fight her all alone! HOW CAN YOU BE SO ARROGANT JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR ABILITIES THIS IS NOT A GAME THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH IN THIS JOB!" Claydoll argues back to Black Bat with one tear shed on her face as Black Bat feels tired and angry with this conversation and process to let out her new emotions of frustration.
"LISTEN AND STOP TALKING BACK TO ME LIKE I'M SOME HELPLESS KID NOW!!!" Black Bat howls back at Claydoll which silent the caped twins of justice until Claydoll waiting for Black Bat to explain with her anxiety rise from all the fear and stress between them. Black Bat sighs now rubs her forehead in responded.
"Listen my Magnificent sister Claydoll as much as like to show you how I dealt with you like in the cave I'm trying not to get mad at you but. The problem is you're just too serious you are not trying to focus on being to Magnificent one that I see earlier someone who gives others faith in the impossible from what I heard but in this case I already have what it takes to stop Katherine yet after you seen me in action you still underestimate me and forget about what she or any scum would do to me. Stop thinking that so maybe you can help solve problems better like getting back there with our family and keep the Children of Clay from making things worse." Black Bat explained
"Yeah you maybe right! What if you're reputation getting rusted and" Claydoll argue back
"Not maybe I am a force of violence. Violence that can protect the troops against those triple our size I build myself into it while you just need motivation and courage to build your natural abilities to become what you are. Take example from our training and you see who's should be a little arrogant and selfish here! If I can't proved to you that I got this war close for tonight. THEN I FIND ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW YOU ME AND KATHERINE ONE ON ONE YOU UNDERSTAND!!!" Black Bat explained how she's not same random street fighting hoodlum whose only think she can take anything because of a few winning streak but a dedicated trained weapon of violence.
"Sister. Black Bat?" Claydoll asked
"What else you want to warned me about?" Black Bat asked in a ignored tone
"I I understand." Claydoll answers in a disappointed tone with head down hiding her tears as Black Bat feels upset at what happened between them.
"Claydoll I have to finish it myself, call you when it's over okay, don't follow me. See you soon." Black Bat conclude the conversation as Claydoll tilted her head to let her know she get the idea as they both hang up on each other and sighed in sadness.
*Sister Cass*
*Sister Annie*
The caped twins of justice as head of with Black Bat head to down to the front entrance of the studios and Claydoll swing back to the streets as her tears flow in the air.
