Chapter Four-The Truth Revealed
Nightwing met Commissioner Gordon on the roof of the G.C.P.D building, to get some info on Tim's where about for Barb.
"Well Nightwing the last time I saw Robin he was in west Distract but that was hours ago, he hasn't checked in, any word on how Batman is doing in Arkham?" Commissioner Gordon said
"No, he's not responding on his intercom and Barb is really worried about Robin so I told her that I'd find a way to help, then I'm going to Arkham to check things out." Nigthwing said
"Best of luck to you Nightwing, I'll be here if you need me" Gordon said
"Thanks" Nightwing said
Then Nightwing jumped off the building he vanished into the darkness.
At the city limits of Gotham, Harley needed a minute to catch her breathe, she was exhausted but this night wasn't over yet not until she was reunited with Cherry.
In Keystone City Canary had found some of her dolls for Cherry, the dolls barred a striking resemblance to Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Zatanna and Herself. Cherry seemed to be ecstatic and so Canary let Cherry play with the dolls, she brushed Wonder Woman's hair and Canary smiled while Cherry continued to play. Was Harley on her way back? She wished that she could somehow contact Harley. Cherry hummed silently while she played. She was worried that Flash had been gone too long, he was never out this long on patrol where was he? He was the fastest man alive after all, even in the bedroom he also came too soon, but he had a big heart and that was what she admired most about her first love, there wasn't anyone else but Barry, while there was Oliver Queen also but that didn't last, he was a sweet guy but his gimmick as the Green Arrow was just to lame even for Canary it was just too embarrassing, so she dumped his lame ass and went back to Barry.
Back in Arkham Catwoman made it to Penquin's stronghold after taking down some of his thugs with minimal effort she entered his room and there he was sitting there holding his right hand in a bandage looks like someone either shot it of crushed it, she spoke to him
"Oswald what happened, you seem to be in pain, want me to lick your wounds?"
"Well, this is a pleasant surprise now ain't it, Catwoman what brings your lovely little Arse in here love" Penguin said
"Information cutie, see I know that Joker is up to something but he isn't smart enough to pull this off by himself, there has to be another, who is it? Tell me and you can touch my boobs, I know that you want too" Catwoman said
"Alright love, his name is Hugo Strange, I don't know much about him but he's taken over the Intensive Treatment building it's under heavy guard, I'm sure that our mutual friend Sade and his team has already run into him, their the ones that did this to my hand and the floor there, they aren't to be trusted love, now how's about a squeeze, hehehheheheh" Penguin said
"Oh please I wouldn't touch you to scratch you, I got what I wanted, and that's good enough for me, oh and Penguin you better watch yourself Batman wouldn't be as nice as I was, you better hope that he doesn't come after you next, bye" Catwoman said walking away shaking her hips and wiggling her cute ass, Penguin watched intently and then he spoke
"Damn tease, still that is one sweet Arse" Penguin said
Catwoman left the Mansion and headed toward the Intensive Treatment she'd rather not have any entanglements with any guards she'd be caught in an instance, Still all of this and now this Hugo Strange character, she wondered what Batman was up too, and she said to herself
"Oh Brucie please be safe, I don't know what I'd do without you"
Zsaaz had been in the Medical building alright there where bodies everywhere, Batman had to hurry if what Riddler said was true than Doctor Young was in grave danger and if she died Arkham would never be the same again, if Joker wasn't the one behind all of this then who was? He'd talk with Freeze, but first saving Doctor Young came first.
As Batman rounded the corner and he found body of Doctor Burton, it was a gruesome scene he was mutilated his body covered in blood his guts on the ground next to him and the look of fear on his face, all twisted and contorted, this was the work of Zsaaz alright, he had to hurry, the loss of Doctor Burton was going to heavy but the loss of Doctor Young would bring down Arkham's reputation. This couldn't continue. He heard voices from the up ahead and he knew that they belonged to Doctor Young and Victor Zsaaz
"Oh Doctor Young, where are you, I coming for you, hehehehehe, oh how sweet this is" Victor Zsaaz said
"Go away, don't come any closer, you freak, I'm warning you" Doctor Young said with fear in her voice
"No I don't think so, my sweet Doctor, you'll be the best kill I've ever had, and so I add another mark to my skin" Zsaaz said licking his knife
Doctor Young was in her office terrified as Zsaaz was just outside it, he wiggled the knob and he pounded on the door, he was laughing while he continued to break in to her office.
"I have to stop him" Batman said to himself, he readied his Batarang he had to knock out Zsaaz and quickly he was almost through the door. Batman launched the Batarang it circled around and then it contacted with the back of Zsaaz's head bringing him down hard, he was unconscious and not moving. Batman then put binds on Zsaaz, he'd take him back to the penitentiary, he spoke to Doctor Young, through the door.
"Doctor Young?, Doctor Young it's Batman, Zsaaz has been subdued, you can come out now, it's safe now, I'm taking him back to the Pentitarty"
Doctor Young slowly opened the door, she was still shaking but she was safe.
"Thank you Batman, I was wrong to believe that you wouldn't come, you are truly a hero" she said giving him a small kiss on his cheek
"Just doing my job ma'am', why was Zsaaz after you in the first place" Batman
said
"I don't know, but I believe it has to do with the fact that he is way off the deep end" Doctor Young said
Doctor Young was a beautiful woman in her late 30's she had a pretty face, her hair usually in a ponytail, she always wore her lab coat but her dark hair was all messed up and her mascara running down her cheeks from crying so much.
"Well at least your safe now, Unfortunately though I wasn't able to save Doctor Burton, such a loss, do you know anything about what is going on here, I can't figure it out I know that Joker is involved but there has to be another, someone else, someone with power" Batman said
"Not sure, before Zsaaz started to stalk me I had seen that they brought in Nora Freeze, she's currently in the Medical Labs down the hall, they were trying to make a cure for her MGgreggor's syndrome but no luck." Doctor Young said
"Freeze was looking for his wife, earlier, he's in the Penitentiary after I take this nut ball back to his cell, I'll talk with Freeze, make him talk if he knows that I know where Nora is then he'll cooperate if not then I'll make him tell me what he knows, he was working with Joker earlier so I'm sure he knows something" Batman said
"Well best of luck to you Batman, and thanks again, if you hadn't shown up when you did I'd be dead for sure" Doctor Young said
"Contact Commissioner Gordon have him send in a team and sweep the place, we need to regain control here, this is worse than anything I've faced before and I've been through a lot, good bye Doctor and you don't have to worry anymore Zsaaz won't be able to hurt you, if you are able leave here and don't look back, get a fresh start on a new life, well I'd better get to Freeze" Batman said picking up Zsaaz and draping him over his shoulder this was one lunatic that needed to be locked up permanently.
Batman want over to the Labs and there in a containment chamber with life support machines was Freeze's wife Nora, this was the insurance that Batman needed he would need it when he confronted Freeze. He left to head in the direction of the penitentiary, he was going to get to the bottom of this, one way or another he would discover the truth and stop whoever was in charge, putting an end to this once and for all.
At Intensive Treatment...
Slade and Frost where taken to separate rooms for interrogation, he wasn't going to break so easily as he knew Frost wasn't going to either, he know nothing about this Hugo Strange character, but he insistently disliked him, and he hated to be fooled and then he saw Deadshot standing in the corner and oh how Slade hated him more than he had hated anyone, if he ever got free he'd kill Deadshot just like how he had killed his brother, two Deadshot's for the price of one. Then the door opened and this bald man in glasses and a lab coat, somehow Sade knew that this was Strange, even before he spoke. Slade wondered how Frost was doing, odd he felt so strongly for her, he didn't liked to get involved with anyone, giving that he was a mercenary and all. However, he loved her and she loved him back he knew it. Then Strange spoke:
" I am Professor Strange, so Mr. Slade, why are you snooping around, this isn't your normal MO, tell me who sent you, oh I will enjoy breaking you, you will crack before this evening is through"
"You can shove it up your ass Strange I will not break so easily, so keep trying, it's going to be a long night" Slade said
"I thought you'd say something like that Slade, so I've arranged an insurance policy for you, Bring her in" Strange said
At that moment a guard brought Frost in her hands bind ed like him, her beautiful blue hair all messed up and she smiled slightly at the site of seeing Slade, they had taken his weapons and his mask off. They sat her in the seat across from him and then Strange continued.
"If you won't talk then perhaps maybe she will, so tell me my dear who sent you and why or else" Strange threatened
"I won't talk either, not even if you beat it out of me, go fuck yourself" Frost said
"She's a feisty one, isn't she and I beat she's a dynamo in the sack right Slade?" Strange said
"I wouldn't know" Slade said
"I know your hiding something, I will get what I want to know, one way or another" Strange said
"Keep talking Strange I will tell you nothing" Slade said
Slade had a knife hidden in his shelve he had gotten lose from the binds and waited for the opportune moment to attack.
He winked at Frost and when Strange had his back turned that was when he lunged. He held the knife to Strange's neck and a bunch of guards came into the room guns held high Slade was using Strange as a shield he made Strange tell the guards to ease up and not fire.
"Now Strange my weapons, now, and you'll let us go, to finish what we started, and pray that are path's never cross again" Slade said
"Let them go" Strange said
"Wise decsioned, Strange, by the way why help that madman Joker" Slade said
"He works for me, I'm the Master of Puppets and I'm pulling the strings, he's my marionette and he's swaying to the symphony of his own destruction, nothing happens without my say so, it matters not he won't succeed in his little plan at all" Strange said
"Whatever, let's finish this, Frost ready?" Slade said releasing Strange and cutting Frost's binds and he said to Deadshot who was holding his gun at Sade
"Just so you know Deadshot you should've never betrayed us" Sade said throwing his knife right between Deadshot's eyes, he collapsed to the floor dead.
"Ready hon" Slade said retrieving his blade from Deadshot's corspe.
"certainly hon, this has been one crazy night" Frost said
"you can say that again" Slade said
Then Frost and Slade left to finish the mission, Slade had no idea if Joker was down in the sewers, but they had to try at least, this was not going to end will, but it was a suicide mission after all, but before they could continue the mission they needed to regain their equipment. Frost seemed distance maybe she was just scared, she stopped dead in here tracks and spoke to Slade with the most sincerity.
"Slade I'm not sure that I can finish this mission, it's just you and I, and now that Strange is involved the mission seems compromised, Hold me, please, just for a little while" Frost said tears forming on her cheeks
Slade walked over to Frost and drew her closer to him and hugged her, they just stood there hugging each other, she cried on him for a while her spirit was broken or she missed Shark, in any case he loved her and would protect her regardless, Joker would have to be stopped of course and he couldn't trust Strange either, this sucked big time but at least he had Frost.
In the Penitentiary after Batman dropped off the unconscious Zsaaz in an empty cell, and blow up the locks and made sure Zsaaz had no weapons on him he went to track down Mr. Freeze, though he thought Freeze wouldn't want to talk. His intercom beeped it was Selina.
"Go ahead honey, what did Cobblepot say, he didn't hurt you or touch you the wrong way did he? Because I will rip out his nuts and then I'll play tennis with his balls if he did." Batman said
"No he didn't, clam down Brucie, I learned who the mastermind behind all of this is, his name is Hugo Strange and he has been using Joker and is held up under heavy guard in the Intensive Treatment building, I'm going to scope things out." Selina said
"Just watch your back ok, when I'm finished here with Freeze I'll join you, don't get caught and be careful, I don't know this Strange guy but if he is truly in charge here then he must be one bad guy."Batman said
"I understand, we've come this far we can't afford to botch this up, and thanks for your concerns Brucie, you be careful too, love you" Selina said
"I will and I you too" Batman said hanging up with Selina and moving on
Batman was in the main isolation chamber it was like winter in here, Freeze was in his cryosuit and he wasn't in a mood to talk, least of all with Batman.
"Why are you here, Batman?" Mr. Freeze said
"Information Freeze, What is the Alan Parson's Project, and do you know Hugo Strange?" Batman said
"What makes you think that I'd tell you anything, Batman we are not friends, if you beat me I maybe presuded to talk, but you're at a disadvantage Batman I know all of your tricks" Freeze said
"Either way Freeze I will get what I want to know, I have something you want to know very badly, I know where they took your wife Nora" Batman said
"You lie Batman, now die!" Freeze said
Freeze lunged at Batman armed his freeze gun and fired a high powered ice blast at Batman he dodged it, the blast smashed the wall next to Batman, Batman said silently "that was too close"
"Listen to me Freeze, I'm not lying, I never lie" Batman said
"I don't believe you Batman, now this will only hurt for a minute then you'll feel nothing as you will be dead" Freeze said launching another freeze beam from his freeze gun, of course Batman dodged it again
"This is getting old fast Freeze, don't you know any other tricks or is your arsenal as lame as Arnold Schwarzenegger's political career was, I mean the Governinator really, he should've stuck to acting." Batman said
"What are talking about Batman? Are saying that I'm like this Arnold person or what" Freeze responsed confused
That nonsense babble had distracted Freeze long enough for Batman to get behind him, he planted a Bat Bomb on the back of Freeze's cryosuit, the blast would imbolize Freeze not kill him, Batman never killed, it was against his moral code, he wasn't like these sadists. Freeze heard the blast and was knocked to the ground he wasn't able to move and he spoke:
"Nice move Batman, alright I will talk"
"That is more like it Freeze, so what is Joker up to and what about Strange, if you cooperate I'll tell you where Nora is" Batman said disabling Freeze's gun
"I stopped working with Joker as soon he said that he had taken my sweet Nora, and that is when he talked about Strange, I don't know much about him apparently he rose to power as soon he transferred him, he is a genius and know everything about all of us, all of our strengths our weaknesses, what drove us to be what we are, he claims to also know all about you as well, that is all I know now tell me where Nora is" Freeze said
"She's in the Medical Labs in the Medical building she is in a status tube hooked up to life support, I just have one more question and then you can go see her, what is the Alan Parson's Project, I mean really" Batman said
"Such a stupid name for a plan to poison Gotham, seriously wouldn't it had been better called Operation Credence Clearwater Revival, that stupid Clown, I never should have trusted him" Freeze said
"So why did you trust him, big mistake" Batman said
"Why not? He seemed on the level and said he'd help get me a cure for my Nora, of course that was a lie, he also said that I was the diet coke of evil, just one calorie not quite evil enough, and that was when I defected, I told him to fuck off and to never come near me again or I'd freeze his nuts then shatter them making it impossible for him to ever have any children, of course he has adopted a little girl, I'm sure you've seen her, a little Clown child as twisted as her parents, the circus is in town alright" Freeze said
"Yeah, I've seen her, anyway thank you Freeze you can go to Nora now, stay with her if anyone can cure her it is you, You have a brilliant mind, but are blinded by rage, go back to being the man that Nora loved the scientist Dr. Victor Freeze, I will not bother you anymore, it is Joker I want and then I'll get this Strange guy as well" Batman said walking away
"Thank you Batman, I was wrong about you, I will cure her, my days will now be dedicated to finding a cure, use my knowledge for good not evil" Freeze said getting up
"I know you will Freeze, I believe that if anyone can it is you" Batman said as he almost out the door to the area where the cells were
Back in Gotham Nightwing had found Robin unconscious and then Bane lunged at Nightwing
from out of nowhere. Bane was a strong opponent but he wasn't very smart he almost fell right off the building they were on. As he lunged for Nightwing again he began to remember things, his past mostly and about the meeting the love of his life Poison Ivy.
Bane was once a legendary luchador wrestler thus the mask he wore, he was told by his manager to throw the fight or he would be fired. Bane never liked to cheat especially when it came to a fight, he won that match and then he quite In search of better things. He found it when he was in South America, he found a vile of the Venom the very same stuff that had transformed Ivy into what she was. This intrigued Bane he wanted to be the strongest in the world, he took the Venom and swallowed it, it was like poison it transformed him into a steroid looking monster, it would have killed any normal human.
Then out of the ruble of the labs a goddess emerged her skin was nothing short of perfection, she was green and completely naked, she had the most beautiful figure Bane had ever seen, her breast large but not too large a solid c cup, her hair long and Red and her eyes were like gleaming saucers. He was in love she approached him and spoke:
"My name is Ivy, and I am Poison, hmmm you look good enough to eat strong man, who are you?"
"I am Bane, strongest wrestler in all of the world and I can only get stronger from here, so Ivy are you some sort of goddess or something" Bane said
"In a manner of speaking that is true, we should team up, I could be your manger and you my protector, you'd never let anything happen to little old me would you darling?" Ivy said giving Bane a kiss
"Of course not, from now on Ivy it is you and I, we will change the face of wrestling and we can start with Gotham, hahhahahahaha" Bane said
"It's a deal, I guess I should really find some clothes right, I am completely naked after all" Ivy said
That was their first meeting and Bane had stayed true to his world he kept Ivy safe, on the day the Bat captured Ivy this pissed Bane beyond belief, the Bat took her to Arkham, Bane was staging a way to free her when the Bird attacked he was easily tossed aside though, Bane was now facing off with the other Bird, then Bane said
"So I guess it's poetic justice then, eh two Birds with one stone, I being that stone" Bane said lunging at Nightwing again.
Nightwing was able to dodge all of Bane's attacks with ease, as his bulked up form made him rather slow it would prove to be his downfall.
Nightwing then thought of a way to trick Bane, when he lunged again that would be when Nightwing would trick Bane into falling off the building as he'd jump out of the way at the last second.
"Over here you juiced up freak" Nightwing said standing on the edge of the roof
"now I've got you Birdboy" Bane said
Bane was running at Nightwing again, now he was almost on top of Nightwing when he jumped into the air, Bane couldn't stop he fall off the roof, he landed on a parked car in the street below,as he hit the car the alarm was sounding then it shorted out he wasn't going anywhere for a while.
"All too easy" Nightwing said
Dick walked over to Tim, he had regained consciousness at the moment when Bane fell off the roof.
"Man am I embarrassed, but thanks man, guess I still need to train more huh, well we should go, I'll get back to Barb, what are you going to do?" Tim said
"Bruce is at Arkham I'm going to go help him out" Dick said
"What is he doing at Arkham?" Tim asked
"Going after Joker of course" Dick said
"I understand, thanks again man, your legendary, I need more training if I'm going to be anywhere near your level of skills, I don't want to bring shame to the name Robin" Tim said
"You'll get there Tim, practice makes perfect, take it easy and tell Barb I was glad to help and if she ever needs anything to call" Dick said jumping off the roof to the next roof he swung away, Tim watched in awe and thought to himself "There goes the best Robin, I'll never measure up to him"
Harley made it to Keystone finally, she found Flash knocked out in the center of the street and ran over to him to help him up.
"Flash what happened?" Harley said
"Urgh, Harley...your back? Oh my head, we better get back to Canary's I'll fill you in when we get there" Flash said
"Ok" Harley said supporting Flash and helping him to Canary's
Harley and Flash made it back to Canary's place, Harley knocked on the door and Canary answered she gasped
"Hurry Harley we have to get him inside" Canary said supporting Flash's other side
The girls helped Flash to the couch, and in that instant before Harley had a chance to catch her breathe Cherry was clinging to her and hugging her tightly, Harley was glad to see her daughter
"Oh mommy, I'm so happy to see you, I've missed you" Cherry said
"My sweet Cherry Pie, I've missed you too, huh where'd you get those dolls?" Harley said hugging her daughter
"Ms Canary, their her's" Cherry said
"Well Cherry your welcome to have them if you like" Canary said
Cherry's eyes got huge with excitement
"Really, oh thank you ms Canary" Cherry said hugging Black Canary
"Your welcome, if it's fine with Harley that is" Canary responded
"It's fine, hahahahahha, it's me" Harley said holding up the Harley doll
"Yup mommy, there's also one of Canary too" Cherry said
They all shared a quick laugh, even Flash then he winched in pain
"oww, so anyway, I'll tell you what happened" Flash said
"Go ahead Flash" Canary said
"I was attacked by a guy in a green cloak, I couldn't see his face as it was covered by a metal mask but he was a mean customer, and it was what he said that turned my stomach, He killed Ollie, Canary, Ollie is dead and he also said that was only the beginning, then he was gone only after rendering me unconscious of course." Flash said
"No, no oh Ollie, sorry I need to be alone for a little while, thank you Harley for finding Barry when you did" Canary said running off crying
"I should've tried to save him, he was my best friend and I failed him, still that mysterious guy in the green cloak he was unlike anyone I've ever faced" Flash said
Cherry didn't understand any of this, who were the adults talking about? She asked her mother
"Mommy who are you talking about? Who's Ollie?"
"Oliver Queen, he was the best friend of the Flash, he was also close with Canary for awhile, and he too was a hero dressed like Robin Hood and used arrows." Harley said to her daughter
"Robin Hood? Who's that" Cherry asked confused
"A movie character in green tights, he robbed from the rich and gave to the poor, I think I've seen the movie it was called Robin Hood Men in Tights I believe, I couldn't stop laughing your father took me to see it on a date, I wonder how your father is doing and if he is fighting the Batman as we speak" Harley said
No one spoke for a moment, then Flash went upstairs to console Canary, Harley and Cherry played with the dolls, brushing their hair changing their costumes, Cherry had put Wonder Woman's outfit on the Harley doll, they both laughed, Harley hadn't laughed like that in a long time.
"Mommy you look so beautiful in that dress, where did you get it?" Cherry asked
"Thank you so much sweetie that really made my day anyway your father got it for me it was my wedding dress, though it is all tattered and torn, I wonder if Canary has anything that I could borrow" Harley said to her daughter
"I'm sure she does? Here you can be your doll and I'll be Canary, hahahahaha" Cherry said giving her mother the doll of herself still wearing the Wonder Woman outfit
"Alright sweetie" Harley said playing dolls with her daughter
Back in Arkham...
Catwoman had snuck into the Intensive Treatment building via the open grate she noticed, she was now in the air ducts, no doubt this was the same path that Slade had taken earlier, speaking of Deathstroke, Selina hoped that she wouldn't run into him anytime soon or Strange for that matter, this had to be were all the action was going on she peeked through the fencing and say a ton of armed guards patrolling the hallways, they where all wearing black and gray armor and held AK-47's, ouch she thought, this Hugo Strange wasn't taking any chances. She couldn't afford to get caught or it would be end game for sure, she'd have to be as stealthy as possible. Selina continued on and stopped for a moment in the next room which appeared to be a weapons depot, and inside was none other than Slade himself but who was the woman in all blue, even her hair was blue, They were getting intimate Selina really should move on but she couldn't seem to move she watched them make love for a few minutes and then moved on.
At the same time back in that Weapon's depot Slade had proceeded to undress Frost, he kissed her tenderly all over, he creased her boobs and sucked on her tits, she bit her upper lip to keep from moaning to loud, she didn't want to alert the guards outside, now Slade moved down to her pussy and tongued her clitrious she couldn't take it she let out a loud moan but he muffled it with his hand and then continued. After a little time and pleasure he stopped and she unbuttoned his pants exposed his penis and placed it in her mouth and sucked on it, she tongued the head and he had to control himself from cumming to soon, then she proceeded to place his dick gently between her breasts and moved up and down on his penis he was getting a boobjob and loved it, he sprayed hot sperm all over her exposed breasts, then she placed his penis in her vagina and started to move up and down on it in a repetitive motion, she even grinded on it a little, moving from side to side. This lasted for a little while until he released all of his man juices inside her extremely warm pussy, they just lied there for a moment and then she spoke to him:
"This is the second time that we've made love tonight, and I really enjoy it, when this is all over promise me that we can do this again and again"
"Of course, we can my dear, but first we really should finish this mission, we can go when you are ready" Slade said
"besides I have to make that Scarecrow dream a reality because when this over we're getting the hell out of Gotham, no matter where we go as long as it just the two of us, then I'm alright with that, we can go anywhere that we want to, I'd rather die then go back to prison, I'm sure you feel the same" Slade said
"Yeah I don't care where we go either but as long as it isn't Gotham, this whole city is depressing and all these other criminals it is like a bad movie or something, we should really get ready, I don't want to confront Joker naked after all, hahahahaha" Frost said getting up and putting her clothes back on, Slade did the same.
Back on the streets of Gotham Ivy had found her beloved Bane lying on a car he was barely alive, maybe his back was broken, she spoke to him sweetly
"Oh no baby what happened?"
"oh..Ivy darling, I think my back maybe broken, I can no longer keep my promise, to always protect you from harm, it was my fault the Bat locked you up in the first place" Bane said
"Don't worry my dearest Bane, I can fix you up good as new, here drink some of my blood, the Venom will give you strength to at least get back on your feet" Ivy said
Ivy slit her vein and the venom oozed out she helped him to lift his mask enough so he could drink the liquor she was so happy to see her bo again.
Bane stood up and got off the car, and creaked his next from side to side, then he walked up to Ivy and swept her off her feet, literally he picked her up and while she was in his strong arms she kissed him, he kissed back, they were in love. Then he carried her off to the city limits. He had to put Ivy down on the ground so he could get a better look at the signs. They paused to think of where they would go next. Bane spoke
"Where do we go from here my love"
"Why not Metropolis, it's a beautiful city" Ivy suggested
"It is but the pretty boy in the red and blue is the cities protector and I doubt he'd like us strolling through his city, we are still very much villains" Bane responded
"That's true, I'm bad to bone, b...b..ad, hehehehe" Ivy said smiling sweetly at her burly protector/lover.
"He'd kick us out as soon as we got there, there must be a place..think Bane, think" Bane said
"I know, Harley said something about going to see her daughter in Keystone city, that's pretty close by, she must be staying with Black Canary, another reformed villain, shall we check it out love" Ivy said
"Your wish is my command, my sweet Ivy, I will carry you to the ends of the earth if it is desired" Bane said once again sweeping her off her feet
"oohh, Bane darling you really know how to treat a lady" Ivy said
"Nothing but the best for my goddess" Bane responded carrying Ivy in his strong arms
In the Intensive Treatment main entrance Batman had just finished taking out Strange's guards he didn't care how many guards attacked him he'd knock them all out, if he could just get to Strange he could finish this here and now, of course Joker was still at large and had to be stopped but he was no where to be seen and no one seemed to know or really care where he was. Except for Batman of course, and where was Selina for that matter. He had gone through the main entrance knocking out every guard that came his way, he was a street fighting man or a brawler, always has been. More guards attacked he was completely surrounded and then he saw who he figured had to be Strange, his bald head glistened from the shining lights over head, he had a neatly trimmed bread, the Amish style no mustache, and he wore glasses, and the Arkham signature lab coat that all the Medical staff wore. He had an evil smile and then he spoke:
"Ah finally we meet face to face Batman, or should I call you Mr. Wayne?"
"What how'd you figure it out, who talked, Joker, Riddler?" Batman responded puzzled
"Neither of them, I've always know, actually it was my master, he told me" Strange said
"Your..Master? I thought that you ran the show here Strange" Batman said
"That is correct my master is no longer alive, so in a manner of speaking yes I am the one in charge, we can chat elsewhere Mr. Wayne, guards take him to the interrogation chamber, we will finish this there" Strange said following the guards that escorted Batman to the interrogation chambers
Batman was now seriously worried for Selina, he prayed that they hadn't found her, who knows what kind of twisted things a guy like Strange would do to her.
Selina was hiding around the corner and saw everything she saw the guard capture her Bruce, and then she saw who she believed to be Strange walking behind them, where were they taking him? She was going to find out when she felt the nosle of a gun pointed at the back of her head and she heard the guard it belonged to speak
"I wouldn't try it Cat Bitch, take her away, take her to the other interrogation chamber, now!"
Then two more guards joined the first and they escorted her to the chambers, it was useless to resist, she'd be dead if she tried, so she cooperated for now.
Once again from his spot in the command center in the guard towers Edward Nigma had seen the impossible just happen, he was shocked Strange's men had captured the Bat, and apparently the Cat as well, Nigma was about to celebrate with joy when he noticed the only two members of Waller's failed strike team Slade and Frost. They were gathering weapons and supplies, Slade was packing a lot of heat was he still planning on stopping Joker? Riddler thought it best to interfere again, he'd contact Slade.
Back in the Weapon's depot Frost had picked up what appeared to be Mr. Freeze's gun, it was huge, she could barely lift it, oh how she wanted to meet Freeze in person, another like her, she idolized him he was a genius and an ice god. She spoke to Slade:
"Hey honey do you think that we have time to locate Freeze, please, I understand that mission is top priority and Joker has to be stopped but I'd really like to met him at least once before I die" Frost said batting her eyelashes at Slade
"Ah what the hell why not, maybe he knows where Joker is, if anything we could get information, we may have to fight him for it but that's the fun part, now isn't it" Slade said he could tell that he had just made Frost very happy, he loved to see that beautiful smile of hers.
"Seriously, oh thank you sweetie" Frost said excitement filling up the room
"Well what you want you get it baby, and that is final" Slade said
"See I knew that there was more to you, then just a stiff Mercenary,that killed for money, I mean you do but there is also a human being under there" Frost said
"And you'll be the only person who sees it, no one else, Freeze could be almost anywhere on this death trap, I really hate this place" Slade said to Frost
"I agree, this place gives me the creeps, just like Joker does" Frost said laughing, Slade joined in then he heard his com going off
"Great what now?" Slade said looking at Frost then he answered it
"This is Slade, go ahead"
"Well now this is quite the surprise isn't it, some leader you turned out be" Riddler said
"Nigma, what do you want now?" Slade said
"Seems you want to track down the Ice Cube, remember he needs to kept in cold conditions to survive I can tell you where he is most likely to be, however first you have to answer my Riddle, remember that is the game, so here goes what has a head a tail but no legs, tick tock Slade" Riddler said
"I really don't have time to play these stupid games with you Nigma" Slade said getting angry
"Just answer it and then I'll tell you all I know about where Freeze is" Riddler said
"I know the answer" Frost said whispering it into Slade's ear
"A penny, that's the answer now Nigma Freeze's location" Slade said
"Ah, how… I thought that one would have tricked you, your cheating I know it, but a deal is a deal, you'll find Freeze in the Medical Labs in the Medical Building near Doctor Young office, but you better hurry I hear that at sunrise there is going to be a huge explosion one that even Michael Bay would love, I mean big enough to level this place and everyone inside" Riddler said
"What the fuck are you up to Nigma, who is setting the bomb, not Joker I never pictured him for the suicidal type, and not Strange who" Slade said
"Language Slade that is no why to ask a favor, I'll tell you but once again another Riddle" Riddler said
"Not again Riddler, ok what is it, out with it Nigma" Slade said
"See now you understand Slade, alright here it is I sometimes come out at night, I light up the sky but don't always cast a shadow what am I?" Nigma said
"Easy you're the moon, now who is planning on blowing Arkham up, we only have a few hours" Slade said sounded worried
"Ah how are you answering these, are you using Wikipedia?, no google, eh I promised, it's the United States Government, from the beginning Waller was planning on killing you all, but your resourceful enough, you two have survived this much and that is commendable I doubt that even Batman could have lasted this long if it wasn't for Catwoman, he's tough I'll give him that much but even the Dark Knight has his limits unlike Slade, bye for now if you survive tonight I'll tell you where I am, if you survive, the clock is ticking you better find a way to stop that bomb" Riddler said
"Where is it, is it on Arkham, no is that why we were sent here? Talk Riddler you know something" Slade said
"I do know lots of things Slade but don't always give the answers, Go see Freeze he might know, but once again you have to hurry your lives depend it, best of luck Slade, hehehehehehe, talk with you soon" Riddler said hanging up
"Oh boy this has just gone from bad to worst, I can't believe it, what do think hon" Frost said the look of worry spreading over her beautiful face
"Damn Waller, well we were expendable after all, used again, we better get to Freeze and fast, I don't know why but I feel that Riddler was telling the truth, we'll just have to trust him for now, maybe Freeze knows, let's head over to the Medical building it's not that far, let's go and if we have to we'll take out some of Stranges's guards along the way, ready?" Slade said
"I was born ready honey, how's about a kiss for luck" Frost said giving Slade a big kiss on his lips, he kissed her back and then opened the door.
In the Interrogation chambers Strange was interrogating Catwoman, she was feisty alright.
"Ah ms Kyle, this is truly an honor, you are a remarkable woman, once you where a jewel thief until that one day when the Bat forever changed you isn't that right?" Strange said
"What of it, yes I was once a thief and a damn good one too, and I decided to give it up myself Batman only presuaded me to join his side." Catwoman said
"You love him don't you, I can tell, it's written all over you pretty face, why is that I wonder is it due to the fact that you are both orphen's, but unlike Mr. Wayne you had to fend for yourself, growing up in the streets of Gotham with no one to guide you and so you began to steal didn't you? It was exhilarating, a rush but you couldn't stop, you just kept stealing, and even the Batman with all of his bruting, you still have feelings for him don't you." Strange said
"I really do, so how do you know all of this anyway, are you physic or what" Catwoman said
"I am afraid that I am not just very well informed is all, and my dear oh how I will enjoy breaking your high spirits, Catwoman" Strange said
"You can try but, it won't work now release me I have things to do" Catwoman said she was almost free of the binds that the guards had placed on her.
"Well I need to see Mr. Wayne, watch her she is a crafty one alright, farewell for now ms Kyle." Strange said walking away
"Better take extra good care of me, then boys" Catwoman said pushing her breasts out and licking her lips a little
In the next room Batman was sitting fiddling with the binds when Strange walked in the room he was stroking his beard and evil smirk on his face, then he spoke:
"So tell me Mr. Wayne, what do you remember about your parents death, are you responsible? You feel that you are that is why you play hero dressed like a Bat. You intrigue me Mr. Wayne."
"I am responsible, it was because of my fear for Bats that we left the Theater early, and that mugger who killed my parents he was waiting, Everything happens for a reason and even though I was just a kid I vowed that when I was able I would become a symbol for justice using what I feared to strike fear in heart of my enemies, I became a vigilante, Gotham became my playground, and you already know my former master Ra's Al Ghul, I figured it out when you said that your master was already dead, Ra's Al Ghul was also your master wasn't he?" Batman said
"Indeed, you where his star pupil, but you never lived up to his expectations now did you Mr. Wayne, have you ever killed anyone?" Strange asked
"Never, I never kill" Batman said
"How do feel about ms. Kyle, do you love her? I bet you do, how much do you love her?" Strange asked
"I love Selina with all of my heart, I never felt that way about anyone, ever" Batman said
"Really, that is interest, bring her in here" Strange said
Just then the guards brought in Selina she was still in her leather suit she smiled at Bruce, he smiled back
"I thought that would happen, what a cute couple you make, don't deny it, now kill her" Strange said
"No, anything but that Strange, what do you really want?" Batman said
"I see don't kill her, so Mr. Wayne, Ms. Kyle tell me why are here?" Strange asked
"To stop Joker of course, but now I have a new goal I will make you wish that you were dead" Batman said finally getting free from his binds
"Joker, interesting, he is the yin to your yang, the east to your west, the up to your down, see Mr. Wayne you and Joker are very similar even though you are opposites he's a clown and you a Bat not that matters since Bats and clowns don't have a history except you do" Strange said
"You can't win, Batman right about now Joker is planting a Bomb, and if you can stop him, congratulation end game, you are free to go, he is right below us in the sewer system" Strange said
"Why tell me this Strange, why?" Batman said
"Paint me intrigued, I would like nothing more than to see Joker fail, he bugs me Batman, he is one twisted man, and not just his face but everything about him he is one can short of a six pack, you better hurry." Strange said
"Ok, Selina is free to go as well" Bat man said
"Of course, I wouldn't want you to worry about the one you love, it was a pleasure getting to know you Mr. Wayne, you too Ms. Kyle you are truly a lovely woman" Strange said cracking a crooked smile
"Ok..ay, anyway Bruce we have to hurry" Selina said
"Right, and hope that we never met again Strange" Batman said helping Selina get out of her binds and kissing her passionately.
In Keystone city at the house of the Black Canary, Harley had just finished drawing a bath and was going to get in it when she asked Cherry to join her. Cherry and Harley both undressed and got in the bath, and Harley said
"Isn't this fun sweetie, having a bath with your mother,hehehehehehe" Harley said splashing some water at her daughter
"stop mommy, your too much, hehehehehehe" Cherry said
Harley and Cherry enjoyed their bath, then they dried off and put on some nighties that Canary got for them, Canary had finally stopped crying over Oliver's death, Barry had stayed with her this entire time. Harley and Cherry had removed their makeup and looked a little different. Harley was about to get into bed and snuggle up with her precious little Cherry Pie when there was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be, at this hour? I'll answer it" Harley said to Canary, she just nodded and then Harley was overwhelmed with excitement when she realized who was on the other side. It was Bane and Ivy.
"Ivy, OMG, this great how'd you escape from Arkham, and I see you found Bane as well, hiya strong man." Harley said giving Ivy a huge hug and a big wet kiss, she wiggled her tongue around in Ivy's mouth, Ivy did the same, Bane had a huge smile under his mask.
Harley let them inside and then Cherry ran over to her mother, scared at the sight of the monstrous Bane, but that beautiful woman in the red shirt and the green skin, seemed really nice, Cherry buried her head in her mother's leg but when the nice green lady spoke in her gentle voice Cherry slowly let go of Harley.
"So this must be your lovely daughter, how old are you cutie? I'm Ivy and this is my good friend Bane, I know he looks scary but trust me sweetie there is no one nicer" Ivy said bending down to get on the same level as the little girl
"I like you ms Ivy, your very pretty, like mommy and ms Canary are, I'm really glad to met you" Cherry said giving Ivy a hug
"Thank you Cherry you are so adorable" Ivy responded and hugged back
"By the way ms. Ivy I'm eight years old, want to see my dollies?" Cherry said going to get the dolls that Canary gave her
"Sure cutie, let's see these dolls of your" Ivy said sitting down on the couch next to Harley she crossed her legs, Harley grabbed her arm and nestled her head into Ivy's shoulder. Then Cherry returned with all the dolls and put them on the ground in front of Ivy and her mother.
"Oh wow, you even have a Harley doll, how cute, and there's a Canary doll, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Hawkgirl, even that magician Zatanna. That is soooo cute" Ivy said picking up the dolls she laughed as the Harley doll was still in that Wonder Woman outfit and the Wonder Woman doll was wearing Harley's clothes.
"Ms. Canary said that I can have them, I love them so much" Cherry said
"So Ivy you never did tell me how you got out of the nut house, and is Mr. J safe? Oh tell me please,please honey" Harley asked
"I escaped in the same way that you did, through the sewers under the Mansion, it smelled really bad but I had to at least try, and I found Bane collapsed and barely moving on a car his back was broken, I helped him out then I remembered that you said your daughter was with friends in Keystone and so here we are" Ivy said winking at her best friend Harley who was still clinging to her arm
"Cool, but what about Mr. J?" Harley asked worried about her husband's safety
"You know, I'm not sure I haven't seen him since your wedding, I left shortly after you did darling, so sorry I don't know anything about what he's up to" Ivy said to Harley
"Oh, I suppose, just concerned is all with B-man and Slade there" Harley said sighing
"I understand, I was worried about Bane but somehow I knew that he was ok, I'm sure Joker is just fine" Ivy said
Under the sewers in Arkham Joker was preparing the bomb that he had received from an anonymous source he remembered what he had said to the delivery guy,
"Here you go Joker, your package it's smaller than I thought" the delivery guy said
"It isn't the size of the package that matters but rather how you use it, hahhahahaha" Joker said
"just sign for it" the delivery guy said
"sure, sure, geez no sense of humor" Joker said signing for the package
Joker opened it up and laughed mechanically it was Bomb, and a note with instructions it read to set the Bomb under the infrastructure of the Intensive Treatment building and to wait a few hours before Sunrise to do it, so Joker did.
As Joker was setting the Bomb he started to sign a song to himself it went like this:
"I hurt myself today to see if I still feel, I focus on the pain the only thing that's real, the needle in the hole the old familiar sting, so what have I become my sweetest friend, everyone I know goes away in the end, you could have it all my pile of dirt, I will start again I will make you hurt, I wear this crown of shit upon my lairs chair, you are someone else and I am still right here"
Joker loved that song it was so masochistic just like him, this was going to be one big blast, he almost forgot about his original plan to poison Gotham, blowing up Arkham and taking out the Bat seemed more exhilarating, oh how he wished he could see the look of the Bats face when the Bomb went off. He still couldn't believe that Batman his arch enemy was really the multimillionaire Bruce Wayne. How was he able to keep it a secret for all this time baffled Joker, Joker never was good at keeping secrets. Still who gave him the bomb that puzzled him but he didn't care as long as the Bat suffered.
Slade and Frost made it to the Medical building with relative ease, they had noticed a bunch of knocked out guards in Intensive Treatment that must have been the work of the Bat, as they were only unconscious, Slade would have killed them, that was the difference between them. The two rounded the corner and it was getting colder, they had to be close to Freeze, Slade just knew it, he looked at Frost and she smiled sweetly, he could tell that she was excited, really excited , it wasn't everyday that you got the chance to met your idol, if Frost was happy then so was Slade.
He opened the door to the Labs and the cold air rushed out, it made him shiver slightly, the guy in the cryosuit was Freeze but what about the beautiful woman in the status tube, she had blonde hair and was wearing a necklace with a snowflake on it, she was also in a nightgown. There were life support machines monitoring her vitals she was alive but just barely. He recalled hearing that Freeze's wife had some kind of strange new disease that didn't have a cure, or at least not completely. Freeze turned around and spoke:
"What is it Deathstroke? Why are you bothering me?"
"So you know me then Freeze, I have a friend here that really wanted to met you, her name is Frost" Slade said
"Just friends Slade? Anyway yes it is an honor to finally get a change to meet you, your the reason that I became what I am, they call me Killer Frost." Frost said
"is that so, well I'm not the type of a person to idolize, sorry it was nice to meet you Frost now leave I really need my private time with my Nora, Get out, NOW!" Freeze said
"We'll leave but what do you know about Joker, about his Bomb, one that could level Arkham in an instance, no doubt that Batman already knows about it but I thought that you may help us" Slade said
"Why would I know anything? that Clown, it was because of him that I betrayed my sweet Nora, all I know is that he is somewhere under Intensive Treatment, try the sewers if he has a Bomb then he's most likely is setting it as we speak, if you hurry you can stop him, be a hero for a change, then marry that lovely ice queen of your, start a family, get a start on a whole new life, or you can give up and die, if the Clown succeeds that we are all already dead, now go please" Freeze said
"Alright Freeze thanks for your help, we'll go back to Intensive Treatment then, come on Frost let's end this" Slade said
"Thank you again Freeze, it was truly an honor to meet you" Frost said as they left
Amanda Waller was in Commissioner Gordon's office they were having a meaningful conversation
"What is the reason for this Commissioner, I'm a very busy woman and all, so what is it that you want" Waller said
"Tell me about this task force you sent into Arkham and what is this about a Bomb? There are innocents on that island, the Doctors and the Batman for an example, what do hope to accomplish here Waller" Gordon asked
"I choose a group of convicts to be my Task force, I was planning on killing everyone of them and the Bomb that I gave Joker was an insurance policy as for the Doctors and the Batman, well there bound to be some causalities this is a war after all, wouldn't you feel better if all the scum of Gotham were wiped out at once, I would, it can't be undone and you can't stop me I have higher authority over you, your only the police commissioner and I work for the government so I win Gordon, game over man, game over." Waller said
"My god Agent Waller, you were using Strange and everyone as your guinea pigs, it will be mass hysteria and countless of lives lost" Gordon said
"Exactly and as such it is about to start, hehehehehehehehe" Waller said laughing mechanically
Gordon panicked he got on his intercom he demanded that a team go to Arkham to relocate everybody and that there was little time.
"They won't make it in time Gordon, I win" Waller said
A few hours had passed
In the sewers of Arkham, Batman found Joker he had set Bomb and the timer was ticking only a minute left Catwoman was by his side holding his hand tightly, if they were going to die then at least they'd die together.
"Well now it is about time Batys we all go out together and with a bang, hehehehehehe, I regret that I will not be able to see my sweet little girl grow up, but Harley will raise her, any last words Bats." Joker said
"Your fucking insane Joker, why do this, why?" Batman said
"75 virgins and all that happy horseshit, I do it for the sick pleasure of watching you squirm, we are just waiting for one more friend, he should be arriving..right about now" Joker said
Sure enough at that moment both Slade and Frost arrived at the scene, Batman wasn't pleased to see Slade and the feeling was mutual. However now was not the time for this, somehow Batman had to stop that Bomb and there was only Thirty seconds remaining before it blew, it was close to sunrise.
"Slade? What is the meaning of this?" Batman said
"Not now Batman. We have to stop him" Slade said
"Fine, how do we do it?" Batman said
"Grab the Bomb and let it blow in water, the blast wouldn't harm us that way, and then we can finish our battle that was never concluded thanks to him" Slade said
"Not to alarm you boys but we are mere seconds away from death" Catwoman said her anxiety growing. The time on the Bomb started to countdown
15...14..13..12..11..10..9..8..7..6...5..4..3..2..1
The bomb blew, the explosion was gigantic, it could be seen for miles, true enough Arkham was leveled, were there any survivors, find out in the concluding chapter A New Threat. Coming soon...
