Remember, I don't own Batman or anything related to it that honor belongs to Bob Kane and I don't own the OC character the honor belongs to Stigma13 and I don't own Anti-Venom that honor belongs to Marvel.
"Batman, Anti-Venom, you picking this up?" Oracle asked.
"Yeah, we're here, Oracle." Anti-Venom replied, the Symbiote having reabsorbed his head again.
"Arkham asylum just vanished off the network," Oracle said.
"Joker's in control of the security system, he's probably isolated it from the grid" Batman replied.
"That's not all he's done, all police feeds are reporting he's placed bombs all over Gotham, says he'll detonate them if anyone sets foot on Arkham Island." Oracle told them.
"He's lying, it's just a diversion to keep people away." Batman said.
"How do you know that, Batnut?" Anti-Venom asked Batman.
"I know him." Batman replied.
After they got off the communicator, they heard a guard say, "The rooms locked down, I can't open the gate, we're trapped in here."
"Try the radio, control should be able to shut down the gate." Another guard told him.
"Or I could do this." Anti-Venom said, walking towards the gate, and using his strength to get the gate open, he shot web lines from his both of his wrists and pulled the gate from it's place, he caught the gate and tossed the gate gate to the side.
"Whoa not bad, Mister Anti-Venom!" The guards said, complimenting Anti-Venoms strength.
"Thanks, now get somewhere safe and stay there." Anti-Venom told them.
"Yes sir." They replied, leaving the room to go to a safe place.
"Guys,"I'm patching you into the guard radio feed." Oracle said.
Their communication devices switched to the guards feed, they then heard a guard's voice.
"Steve, more Blackgate prisoners, by the boiler!"
Another guard said, "Who's that behind them? Oh my God, it's Joker, he's free, how'd he break out?"
Just then the feed went out, "Sorry, feeds down, comms are up and down like crazy, it's not good, I'll keep trying." Oracle said.
They exited the room and went to the Processing Corridor, when they got there they headed to a door but it's electric field activated, preventing them from going, the monitor in the room turned on revealing Harley.
"Oh no you don't, you two, we're in control now, you two aren't going anywhere we don't want you to." She said.
They then went in the opposite direction, towards the decontamination room, when the computerized voice came on again.
"Warning, decontamination room, toxins detected."
When they got there they saw a guard trying to get in to help other guards but with the toxin sealing the room he couldn't.
"What is that stuff?" The guard asked.
"Joker Toxin," Batman replied, "Listen, the room is filled with poison gas, anyone caught in there is dead."
"Are you gonna get in there and help them, Batman?" The guard asked.
"Yes, Anti-Venom stay here, I'll handle this one, I'll come back for you when I've finished in there." Batman told Anti-Venom.
"Fine with me, Batnut, but hurry up, I don't like to be kept waiting ." Anti-Venom said.
Batman then grappled up and tore the vent out of the wall then went through it, "This isn't a simple escape attempt, Joker's been planning this." He said to himself as he kicked the other vent down.
Getting out of the vent, Batman heard a guard's voice, "Please help me!" The guard called out.
Batman saw the guard and helped him up, "You're gonna be fine, stay here." Batman told him.
Just as he was about to save the other guard, Anti-Venom burst into the room and and jumped to where the guard was and caught him as he was about to fall into the toxin.
Batman was shocked that Anti-Venom didn't show any signs of the effects the toxin had on people, "How is this possible?" He asked Anti-Venom.
"One of the benefits of being bonded with a Symbiote is that it's immune to toxin and other diseases. Anti-Venom said.
"No way! Oracle yelled, also shocked at hearing that.
Batman grappled to where an inmate was and pulled him up before he could fall, then punched him in the face, knocking him out, he then threw a batarang at the extraction switch, the extraction fan turned on and sucked the toxin out of the room.
Batman and Anti-Venom both jumped down to the floor and walked towards each other, "Why didn't you tell me that you were immune to Joker's toxin, Anti-Venom?" Batman asked him.
"You didn't ask, Batnut." Anti-Venom answered.
They then walked out of the room and into the Transfer Loop, suddenly they heard Joker's laugh.
"Hehehehahaha, what are you two waiting for, I'm so close you can almost taste me," Joker said.
Anti-Venom looked down and saw green arrows on the floor, "Looks like Clown face wants us to follow these arrows and I got a feeling that whatever's at the end of this, it ain't good." Anti-Venom said.
"I know, but what choice do we have?" Batman said.
They followed the arrows and on the way they met with two thugs, they tried to attack them but Anti-Venom shot web from both his wrists , sticking them to the wall clabbered them on their heads, knocking them out.
They continued to follow the arrows until they got to a door that had a big smiley face on it, "I'm guessing that this is where the trail ends." Anti-Venom said.
"Looks like it." Batman replied.
The door then opened, revealing the one that they had been after, Joker, who was standing on what looked like a steal cell.
"What took you two so long?" Joker asked.
Batman got out a batarang and threw it at Joker but he docked, causing it to miss it's target.
"There's no escape, Joker, we will find you. Batman said.
"Believe that, Clown face, it will only make your ass kicking so much sweeter." Anti-Venom said.
"Oh, I'm counting on it, just not yet." Joker said as he stumped on the cell hard enough to make it's door open, revealing a hulking figure about Anti-Venoms size, it had glowing green eyes and it's spine was sticking out of it's back.
"I'll handle this thing, Batnut, if any thugs come in here, you deal with them, got it?" Anti-Venom said, getting in a fighting stance.
"Yes." Batman replied, getting out of the way.
The Titan charged at Anti-Venom, and raised its fist to punch him but he grabbed it's wrist with his right hand and smashed his left arm down on its elbow, breaking it's bone and making it roar in pain, he then punched it in the face sending back into the wall.
Anti-Venom then latched white tendrils onto the Titan and the tendrils started to burn off whatever was inside it, making the Titan transform back to normal.
While this was happening, Batman finished off the thug that came into the room.
"Well, that was unexpected, how did you do that, kid?" Joker asked Anti-Venom, curiously.
"Why don't you come down here, Clown face, and I'll show you!" Anti-Venom said in rage.
"Seeing as how I'm feeling generous, I'll give you this one for free", Joker said, walking to the ledge of the cell, "Knock me off, I dare you, end this, pull the plug, stop me once and for all." Joker taunted.
Anti-Venom shot a web from his wrist, intending to pull Joker off the cell but just as the web touched the murderous Clown, a batarang flew through the air and cut the web before he could pull Joker off.
"Ahahaha, you're getting too predictable, Bats, well, I'd love to stay but I have a party to organize, I've got guests flying in from all over Arkham, you'll see, you'll both see." Joker said as the cell behind two large metal doors that closed when the was behind the second door.
"Rrraghh, damn you, Bat for brains, I could have ended whatever Clown face was up to, right there!"
"I told you Anti-Venom, killing is not the way, it only makes you the same as Joker!" Batman yelled
"And I told you, I don't give a crap!" Anti-Venom yelled back.
They both stared at each other, glaring until Batman spoke.
"We can stand here and argue about this all day or we can stop Joker before he causes anymore trouble."
"Fine, but mark my words, when I see that piece of shit again, I will kill him and I don't care if he wants me to do it, if I have to fight and knock you out to get my hands on him, then so be it." Anti-Venom promised .
"Then you had better hope you get to Joker before I do." Batman said.
As Anti-Venom walked away from Batman, Batman's communicator came on.
"Bruce, I'm really worried about Vincent." Barbara said.
"He must have a reason for wanting to kill Joker." Bruce replied.
"Well, whatever it is, find out and help him before he crosses the line. Barbara told him.
"I will, when this is over." Bruce said.
"Thanks." Barbara said, cutting off communication.
