As the shadowy Black Bat enters into Panessa studios the place quiet which to Black Bat smells like trouble brewing to her.
There's TVs around each section as Black Bat finds a map to the whole place it's a good thing she knows how to read maps until.
"Awwww look at the little stunt double following my sister's footsteps I suppose I should take you back to her so you can work on your hero speaking skills, nah I say get ready to face all these obstacles you going to deal with before you get face me, So Copy doll contestant you're ready to be the next big thing for all the girls and boys to talk about HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Try to survived as if your life depend on it because unlike your model your life it's the moment we meet anyway hehehehehahahahahaha."
Katherine said while standing on top of the movie set boards resting her back as the spotlight shine on both of them.
"So you're the monstrous Katherine Karlo that Claydoll's been warning me about repeatedly which mean not only you responsible for what is happening out there but you're also getting on my nerves for how many times she keeps going on and on about you how you are dangerous and you not like any other foes she ever known." Black Bat said
"Oh really she miss me too that means she does love, respect and care about me more than you but don't try to used flattering to safe yourself because once you and I meet to battle in the Coliseum set I'll take you to my show as a worthless copy doll to play with in front of her. So you ready to begin?" Katherine asked as Black Bat smugs to her and responds
"Always you sociopathic little witch." Black Bat taunts as Katherine smile at her attitude then Katherine's spotlight turns off.
"Then let's get ready the games of life and death begin hahahahahahahahaha!" Katherine said joyfully while unseen in the dark as the spotlight shine on Black Bat who's using Detective vision to check for any traps as few of Karlo's gang trying to surprise her with an ambush.
"The Queen wants you dead and make a doll out of you for her show! All hail Queen Karlo!" the kids shouted as Black Bat already plans ahead thanks to their body movements and readings from their limbs and muscles she counterstrike the two girls with their pipes and used them like night sticks but not for the rest of them. Then backflip kicks away another kid and dash back to punch that same kid, dodge the next attack behind her grab the boy's leg, swing around at the Children of Clay to get them away from her then now they begin to used pistols and Tommy guns as Black Bat throws Batarangs at their heads while dodged some bullets and moving too quickly and disarm one who's stand on the catwalk while hiding behind the props. Then jumps off to get the bullets out of her way to get behind the kid with a Tommy gun as he feels the wind of her cape then just when he turn to shoot her Black Bat kicks the gun off his hand, sidekick him and punch his face.
"Man she hits hard like she's not human.Not only that but fast." Burt saying to Katherine watching the fight in live camera she sitting in a chair eating popcorn like she's in the movies.
"That's what makes it a great action scenes sure guns in fist fight is a bit extreme but I never expected this copy to be really good and more skilled that it almost but my princess to shame but I'm not saying she can make a good replacements let's see if she can survive certain games from our friend Carpenter to see if she has to brains or strength before the next will be play her a game of chess." Katherine said enjoying the action going on here as Black Bat stops the ambush only to be warned.
"I won't have done that if I was you Black Bat because word is today it's our special mini game of the week is a deadly but lovely game of pinball don't get cocky about to idea it's different than the arcade ones courtesy of The Carpenter herself who without Queen Karlo freedom of fun get to make this possible." Film Freak said as The Carpenter opens the EXIT door to show herself as the spotlight shine on her waving.
"So if you want to continue this bonus game then get your mind tensions and on guard for a ball because once you get the this one is would be rockin rollin experience for you so come at me if you can Claydoll #2" The Carpenter then run off as Black Bat looks down at her costume as a reaction to what Carpenter is saying and chase after her.
Black Bat chase Carpenter through the next set that been remodel to be a deadly giant pin ball game as the Carpenter is nowhere to be seen.
"Welcome to my favorite creation here Black Bat! I'm sure you guys know or have some pinball machine in your company cave somewhere which if flying animals can play games but this one you can't have 3 lives and the only way to win is to get the the ball to hit the spaceship three times this hope the ball don't smash you in your way." The Carpenter explained the rules as Black Bat heard see all the props that functions like an the actual game but can't break through the door behind since it has explosives if she ever think that she can refuse to play along and go after The Carpenter anyway so she has no choice but to look at the screen of the pinball death trap as it looks like the game itself and there's two stick on each side beside her to pull the flippers to keep the ball from hitting the explosives.
"This is can help me push back the giant ball and hopefully hit that disc shaped craft. It's been awhile since I been through death traps but not this one." Black Bat thought to herself as she see the ball coming to her and flips away from it so be won't be crush but with the Ball being bounced back by the flippers thanks to The Carpenter using the sticks controls on top of the set watching Black Bat running and dodges away from it.
"Oh what's wrong Black Bat you faced to most dangerous and troublesome teens and all sort of people but you can't deal with not even punch or used your gadgets to stop a ball? It's a good thing I'm not putting any difficulties or this will be a fast death for you huh poor little pretender!" The Carpenter taunts Black Bat who is running and dodging for her life as the Ball keeps bouncing off the flippers for what seems like Carpenter is making it go to Black Bat on purpose which gives Black Bat a idea to grapple on top of the Flying saucer so The Carpenter will end up hitting the saucer as the Ball make its first hit with Black Bat on top but sudden turrets come out of the saucer's roof and was going to shoot Black Bat as she jumps off the saucer and land on the Ball using her feet and run forward to make it hit the saucer again.
"Hey that's my ball give it back that's cheating! GIVE ME THE BALL!!!!!!" The Carpenter shout at Black Bat for not letting the Ball go near the flippers as she keeps using her feet to move the ball away from the bullets that seems to reload like a shotgun then after a few bumps and points Black Bat finally get the behind to move behind the saucer as she jumps off watching it goes to the hole and shoots out of the other side and three hits for the saucer as it crumbles with a puff of smoke from the debris.
"Well now look what you did. You finally beat my high score and ruined my favorite creation yet let's see if you know what that feels when you been broken in pieces!!!!" The Carpenter's voice echo as Black Bat noticed that Carpenter is not in the control room yet her voice echoes as the Ball almost hit Black Bat but she run to the control room to figure how to disable the explosives until.
"Nananana! You're blind as a bat. Quick let's fix you up!" The Carpenter try to swing Black Bat with a cross pain sledge hammer but Black Bat move away make The Carpenter hits the controls on a black box that seems to shut off the bombs on the exit door.
"I am The Carpenter mistress of tools and skilled artist you can't be this good!" The Carpenter goes for another swing at Black Bat but Black Bat grabs the hammer trying to disarm her, Then that's when The Carpenter let go of the hammer and backflip away from Black Bat's fist and jumps up to her with a drill which almost got Black Bat as she noticed the side of her stomach has a little cut mark from the drill where the costume been torn.
"Hahahahahahhaha I got you spooked huh well guess my creation has taken a toll on you! Too bad there's more where that came from." The Carpenter taunts which upsets Black Bat as she pull the Bat claw aimed at The Carpenter and shoots the claw at the drill which pulls Carpenter with it and knocks to drill off her hand and grabs her by the overalls
"Ha ha ummm I think things got too rough for you. You have scary look on your eyes." The Carpenter comments nervously on Black Bat then trying to punch her off as Black Bat counters it and handbutts The Carpenter and pins her down to handcuff her.
"No far I haven't got to go to the mail!" The Carpenter moans as Black Bat turn back to her.
"Then you hope that what your fellow members from there gives you something if some make it out of our hands. But you know what? I doubt it." Black Bat respond
Katherine Karlo and Film Freak watched the whole event behind the monitor as Black Bat moves away from Carpenters trap.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha I never seen that much destruction and humiliations in Gotham and that I can say this can be my best work yet!" Katherine said joyfully clapping like she seen a good movie.
"I am glad you're happy queen Karlo it really is satisfying to see Jenna get her downfall this is really fun! I can see it now being our first motion picture starting us." Film Freak respond remarkably and Katherine rubs his hair sitting on his lap.
"I know my Film Freak just need one piece to complete the final act which is what I wanted the most is to show that pretender of my princess what happened if she or anyone go disgracing her name then see if our real Magnificent one will come to our project to make the world understand what they really need as entertainment!" Katherine stated with her signature girl's doll like grin with her arms up almost hit Film Freak as she backflips off him.
"But we promise to meet at the Coliseum set I should root for you to take her on since she's seems to be worn out from Jenna Pinball trap." Film Freak suggested as Katherine got an idea to use him in her favor.
"Hey I admire you doing what you can to make me have affection on you but how about I return the favor. Why don't YOU go and fight Black Bat so I can make another elaborate escape once that happens I'll find a way to break you out. I promise to show you my gratitude for all your care for me." Katherine suggest winking seductively to get Film Freak a chance to be dealt with so she can deal with Black Bat by lying to him about wanted him to win.
"Wow you really had that much fate on me huh Katherine maybe I can accept that but. Awww gosh I would love to protect you thanks for giving me this opportunity I'm sure your gratitude will be most delightful I love you so much!" Film Freak show his pleasure by pulling her close to him and kissing her made Katherine blush but not happy that she's caught off guard by that as Katherine is groggy down back to her chair and Film Freak goes out to face Black Bat.
"Oh boy what a good kid I got to admire his determination." Katherine said to herself as she turns on the Monitor on the screen showing the Coliseum set.
Black Bat in the old Coliseum set but not outside in the center. Inside there is a medieval theme jousting field where two people who are horsemen wielding weapons of joust with lances as Black Bat inspect one of the lances. Lights turn off on her as the spotlight shine on a knight suited Film Freak held up a lances on a motorcycle.
"Now that I have the purpose to protect the queen in her castle you're now face me hither witch! For as I have challenged you to a duel of jousting for the act!" Film Freak show off his medieval act as the speakers around them cheering on like everyone is actually around as Black Bat has a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh don't be so pitchkettle Black Bat just get on the bike and face me with your lances as we charged for the death because let's face it you guys don't kill so might as well make your days interesting for us." Film Freak taunt Black Bat as he still on neutral turning the gas so the motorcycle roars almost at a horse like pace.
"I don't think I'm ready for driving motorcycle in this situation." Black Bat respond now holding a lance too and ready to charge.
"Farewell then even if you later begged for forgiveness as I mowed you down for our set now let this be your final mistake HIYAAA!!!!!" Film Freak now roar his bike to Black Bat as she's running up to him and jumps over Film Freak's lance in order to make time to throw the lance at the back tire to make the motorcycle spin around and send Film Freak off the motorcycle as he gets up after careens to the wall and grabs his lance and cross shield that have a K.K stand for Katherine's name on it.
"You may broken my pride. But you can't break my pride and love for her. I SHALL SMITE THE DARK DRAGON!!!" Film Freak monologues like some of medieval movie cliches as the two battle in dual swing their lances together. Film Freak has take notes on every sword fight moves and tactics from movies and genres able to copy them by the book. But Black Bat is already a skilled fighter by actually being in extreme dangerous training from Lady Shiva and David Cain her entire childhood before she became part of the Bat Family.
So Film Freak is really fighting his best but can't seem to damage Black Bat with every sword swing and sword struggle and when ever Black Bat goes for his armor Film Freak keep black the lances with his shield and push her off so Black Bat gets an idea to drop her lances.
"I'm impressed I was never have this challenge this fun since I was little you have won this joust I forfeit you can smite me now or take me to Karlo." Black Bat spokes so sadly as Film Freak is amazed how noble she is.
"Well guess Katherine is right about you at least your successor won't give up a fight until her death you almost had me there if only I had my camera to show the final climax and bestow my kiss to my lovely queen now begone!!!" Film Freak ready to make final strike but unknown to him Black Bat tricks him and dodge the lances and punch the shield so hard on Film Freak's chest cause him to be knocked off his feet and drop his lance. Black Bat get on him and punch him.
"Hey that's foul of you beat this challenge by cheating but it don't matter now because Katherine has probably made her escape as we continue to stay around chatting so you lose hahahaha well? That's all folks!" Film Freak mocks Black Bat as she looks around and see a stocks.
"That's okay like she says herself To be continued starting now, come here this is your place until the Magnificent Claydoll gets back." Black Bat stated as she drags him to the stocks and lock him there.
"Hey get me out of here this is not a good way for a knight to lose!" Film Freak moans fiercely while Black Bat wakes off
"You all need help." Black Bat comments as she opened the next door to stop Katherine Karlo tonight.
Finally in the middle of the Coliseum set Black Bat hears the echo of Katherine's laughter access the set as the lights flash to her and relieved Katherine Karlo who jumps off the chair and land on the ground clapping for Black Bat.
"Hehehe well congratulations, excellent performance bravo it appears you not so much of a show off as I think for a show off but need to work on your lines next time you have be as silent as the Batman at this rate and that would be boring." Katherine comments while stretching.
"Why you're after me so badly you do realize your finish right? Though I got to say this challenge is well executed yet I can't let you continue your little game this time Katherine." Black Bat respond as she cracks her knuckles.
"Oh I'm playing a game how about you should stop playing with the likes of me as if you in a game, you don't think I hear you talking back to my sister dear shatter her feeling to cuddle you like the lovely princess Pacifist she is. I'm impressed usually you guys get on your knees, being her yes men and say and kiss her feet on how much of a sweetheart she is when deep down Annie is another monster like Clayface and me. This is what I'm going to make sure she show her true colors by murdering her stunt double."
Katherine points her acid water blue pistol out as Black Bat blad her fists tight looking angry at Katherine for all she done to Claydoll.
"I am not no pushover you can just take down liking Claydoll choose to see me as her sister seeing how evil you are I'm still going to make you pay for making her so annoying the whole night and say what you can about her. Sister Annie is always been and cared about us and she wouldn't be a killer like you I make sure of it by staying alive and defeat you!" Black Bat feeling upset seeing how Katherine is as Katherine turns her smile to a monotone anger look.
"I am really happy as your skills and heroism just like my sister but there's a few things I hate the most about you and the rest of your so call bat family is that you are reason why she's is caged up soft and to naive to the world around her. Her disown and trying to forget me whenever she sends me back at the Penitentiary. But the only thing that gets my blood boiled is you disrespect her name and her looks and her attitude mostly, you and the bird brat are distracting her from her destiny once I'm done with you the eggplant and those school kids friends of yours will die worst deaths then the next! Then when MY sister sees the wonderful masterpiece I made for her she'll come to her sense and give me a reward to leave this meaningless war and we'll can have a kingdom of our own in this city!" Katherine said joyfully until Black Bat pulls Katherine by the collar
"SHUT UP I AM SICK OF THIS FOOLISH YOU ARE NOT MAKING HER A MONSTER!!" Black Bat shouts at Katherine as Katherine frowns at her and try to pull her water pistol out.
"I was thinking the same thing this conversation is dull anyways you just don't have what it takes now DIE FOR MY PRINCESS!!!!" Katherine about to pull the trigger but Black Bat smack it out of her hand and headbutts and punch her then Katherine managed to get Black Bat to drop her by swings her knife around adding more cuts on the costume.
"You didn't think I'm not aware that you are not a normal combatant I don't think much logic anyway Hahahahahahhaha!!!" Katherine and Black Bat struggle as Black Bat dodges and push away the knife from going close to her face then Katherine uses Black Bat legs to climb up and try and dropkicks Black Bat but Black Bat grabs her legs and Katherine swings her other leg around and hit Black Bat knees with her which makes Black Bat spins her around and throws her to the walls.
"She sure hits hard for someone who acts so silly." Black Bat comments in her head as she sense Katherine heals herself with clay ooze in her skin to make the mark on her forehead disappear almost like it never happened.
"Unlike you, me and her have healing clay do you nope nope nope!" Katherine mocks Black Bat as she flips quickly to get her water pistol and fire at Black Bat but missed burn the holes to off the set
"Hmmm well that's what happens when your team disobey you oh well let's play!" Katherine said playfully as Black Bat smile reading how to beat Katherine thanks to the clay of darkness arrogance.
She let's Katherine kicks her but blocks the kick only to grab Katherine's wrist where the knife is held and punches her until Katherine pulls her and try to shoot Black Bat again but surprise at Black Bat speed and got uppercut as Black Bat kicks the pistol away from her and Katherine keeps going at her with her second Knife trying to slice Black Bat but Black knows to struggle with Katherine is a bad idea so dodge and kicks her head and knees her mid section and hammer strikes Katherine then punches her after disarm the weapons from her until Katherine is unconscious and sees that Katherine managed to lay some scars around Black Bat body and sighs in relief.
Not so long after the fight a familiar sounds cape swishing and a little girl's voice calling for Black Bat gets closer and closer.
"Black Bat please be okay I'm sorry I yelled at you and say hurtful things I promise to let you battle whoever you want just please be alive."
"Relax Claydoll from what we seen so far she can handle Karlo on her own if she able to study your strength and weakness just wait to we get to the coliseum since that's where Burt Weston say they are." Batman's voice echo in as Black Bat listens in then moves her and a unconscious Karlo out of the doors way.
"NO KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM HER SISTER!!!" Claydoll roars as the whole studios can hear it as the door fly to the walls and Claydoll rush in to see that her Detective visions is not showing what it seems only to realized that it's Black Bat sitting on a unconscious Katherine Karlo.
"What took you sister just had time to know your sister in person let alone compared your thinking to hers at least she doesn't hold back." Black Bat smirk as she opens her arms knowing that the Angel of Clay will rush to her and hugs her tight sobbing on her.
"I'm so so sorry for what happened between us out there and for looking down at you I should've been more grateful that you're capable in doing all this. Can you ever forgive me? I promise to not call you weak again and not act such a how you say a selfish brat." Claydoll keeps apologizing until Black Bat hugs her rubs her soft hair.
"Shhh I'm alright Claydoll you know that I finally prove to you that I'm not just a rookie nor am I just a pretender I mean come on take Batgirl and Robin for example. But I accept your apology." Black Bat forgive Claydoll's overprotective behavior as Batman give Black Bat a thumbs up and smile with Black Bat doing the same behind Claydoll's back.
"Gordon it's done Black Bat stop Katherine and the Children of Clay is lost without their gang leader get your men to head to the Panessa Studios. Claydoll, Black Bat and I will take Katherine to the Gotham Penitentiary." Batman stated
"Good work you guys! Spoiler and Robin have capture the last remaining gang on Park Row with the help of Montoya and Bullock we saved a lot of lives here, send in my men to round them up on your location."
Gordon respond as Black Bat, Claydoll and Batman heads to the Batmobile to get Karlo back to the Penitentiary.
Inside the Penitentiary Claydoll and Black Bat carry the Chaos of Clay whose up and taken to her cell give Black Bat and Claydoll a message.
"Hey Copydoll let's say for now on you can be our next big thing for our little show and let's not forget our eggplant friend surely she can be quite the handful if you try to help her on your own so how about we take turns taking care of her. You can take care of her temper and sparky attitude and what not while next day I'll show her how to be a good decoration as her body and remains can be good enough for a eggplant parmesan cheese pie. Oh and sister dear please say that we are still not drifted apart we're still are real sisters right no matter how many of your so called siblings just because she has the look and costume of you does not mean that you should forget who's really has your blood and well alter looks but same physique and body structure of you and same soft hair okay?! Maybe I can get this girl the true meaning on how to be one of us then see how you like it huh."
Katherine said as both twins are disgusted with Katherine's disturbing threats.
"Sorry I should have called and remind you that you and I are sort of inter twins right? But I can't believe you would assemble a team without calling me either on your own to continue your madness so in better words you've been hiding stuff from me too you hypocritical sociopathic sister of mine!" Claydoll argues back
"Oh ho but you did it first and you didn't even know until I exist and still keep going so yes I'm given you a taste of your medicine and we are going to keep going and you gonna like it!" Katherine argues back as Black Bat had enough of sibling arguments for one night with her "Oh not this again" look on her face.
"Well thanks I get my knight in shining armor before you speaking of how's your time with that Film Freak guy you two seem violent but eerily romantic interest with each other kinda the polar opposite of me and Robin's relationship!" Claydoll snark making Katherine blush
"Well he is just my right hand second in command nothing less it's not like I'm actually have some weird affection stuff in my body for him plus he the one who can't resist my level and choose to serve me although there's one time when I start to bond with the guy here I felt a slight tingling sensation in my" Katherine got interrupted by Black Bat who knows where this is going and pulls Claydoll away from the cell
"Woah okay I think it's time to go Robin is worried sick about us let's go CD!" Black Bat shut down the conversation leaving Katherine confused.
"Sister Annie sure have meet some stranger people outside theses walls. What's her problem?" Katherine thought to herself
"Hey I'm just being her sister by telling her what those feeling mean at least give me a note or something?" Claydoll moans as Black Bat sides a paper under Katherine's cell door for Katherine to read.
"Now let's leave before she continues on about her body."Black Bat drags Claydoll out of Penitentiary.
After our costumed twins have pulled into the Batmobile. Batman had the radio channel to the Gotham City News on tonight's events.
"Well that didn't take longer why the rush?" Batman asked
"Let's just Katherine makes a new discovery for herself but Sister Cass stops me." Claydoll said in sadness
"Plus she goes on and on about how we all should get our curtains cut and about to discuss her hormones taking over her body so I have to succinctly give her umm studies to why she feels that way around the boy." Black Bat explained
"I understand that age too well to know what really going on as long as You both help acknowledged her about protection even so Katherine seem to used most of her gang as a means to an end so let's hope Burt don't wind up having his affection for her put him on her list of lives to take away." Batman stated as the news showing Summer Gleeson around the Panessa Studios.
"This is Summer Gleeson around the recent Children of Clay activities in the Panessa Studios where it appears according to the GCPD commissioner Jim Gordon that The mysterious Black Bat had put a stop to the ringmistress of the Children of Clay known as Katherine Karlo while the same time Gotham's Magnificent Claydoll captures a contortionist thief known as Ragdoll AKA Peter Merkel who was trying to steal the Love that Baby Portrait of a well known actress name Mary Louise Dahl whose want to thanks the Magnificent Claydoll for protecting her Portrait. And other news it seems that Black Bat is not the only new vigilante on Batman's little costumed crime fighting community but yet another mysterious character known as The Spoiler as left quite an impact around Gotham mail and Park Row as a journalist manage to snap a sighting of her and Robin rounding up the Penitentiary escapees.
Overall things are starting to calm down but with all these new heroes and criminals around since the debut of The Magnificent Claydoll the question is now slowly growing by the surface by not from the staff from the Gotham Penitentiary house of the troubled juveniles but also the fellow Gothamites are now jumping in for an answer.
Is The Magnificent Claydoll responsible for not only inspiring new heroes to defend Gotham but also created and inspiring the troubled youth to become to next criminals for the Penitentiary and this city to worry about?
Rumors say she have some pathological connection between her and a calmed daughter of Matthew Hagan, Katherine Karlo have became more evidence when during tonight's chaos when Katherine takes over our programming and appears to be putting on her sick shows and speeches on live TV.
She have been suggested that the relationship between The Magnificent Claydoll and Karlo is almost like a complex mixed of Order vs Chaos and that The Clay Crusader is not as honest with us and the allies as she seems. Speaking of ailles most people like children who look up to Batman and the GCPD Commissioner Jim Gordon alongside half the police force got opposing evidence that it's not the case thanks to The Batman words himself from the Commissioner and he quoted that "The events of the high school teens and involved Bruce Wayne's wards are not his style and that it's just the kids being impressionable by the actions of Batman and his sidekicks." which frankly proved that this is not the first time the Gotham's youth of tomorrow have done this in the past long ago and one police Renee Montoya admits that Batman will make sure those children will be safe and not get in any sort of danger as long as he is watching them so rest assure it appears that he is still keeping his word seeing that the teens are still safe under Batman's watch. Still with the recent actions happenings ever since the appearance of Katherine Karlo and The Magnificent Claydoll it's clear that we still should keep updates about the Gotham Penitentiary,The Magnificent Claydoll or Katherine Karlo this morning on Gotham City News. This has been Summer Gleeson reporting into events happening with the city of Gotham."
The news concluded with the Bat Family in the Batcave after making sure the Detective Club and Stephanie are back to their homes safe and sound. Bruce and his wards unmasked themselves as Ace and Alfred came with refreshments.
"I can't believe they would think that I'm the blame for those kids and Katherine after all I done for them!" Annie covers her face in sadness as Cassandra and Tim takes notice of Annie's reaction as she throws her cape on the floor in frustration and was about to run back to her and Tim bedroom but Cassandra stops her getting in her way.
"Sister Annie calm down please at least we stop Karlo let them think all they want!"Cassandra trying to calm down Annie holding her arms as Annie is shaking in tears.
"Easy for you to say imagine how people make mean faces of you over something you didn't do now because of her Gotham hates me now trying to compare me to her! How can I let this slide they used to love me smiling for me now they are slowly getting look at me like I'm a disgrace!" Annie sobbing
"Annie you know better that whatever happens involving Katherine or her gang even us it's not your doing even if one of us are hurt on more than that you have to remember that you're not the blame for everything happening uncontrollable around you. So please just calm down sweetie you need to learn to accept things the way they are before it's too late. I'm not trying saying something happens to us but the moment it happens you might go lash out like you almost did with Cassandra tonight and I hope I can reach you before it happens again. So can you just relax now Katherine is in the Penitentiary and at least the city not going to our rooms and our friends houses in our daily lives now that would suck." Tim explained as Annie stop sobbing.
"Yeah but the questions still in my head who's to blame for why everything in Gotham is the way it is?" Annie asked.
"It's not who's to blame but it's what to blame for why Gotham the way it is and yes the criminals have something to do with it too Annie." Bruce respond as Annie turns to him and wipes the tears off her face
"Really can you please explain to me why this keep happening to us and why must they be so mean to us?" Annie begging for Bruce to answer shaking him by wrapping her arms to his torso in a anxious face.
"Annie easy I know it's going to be trough to explain why the press is so harsh on vigilantism simply because for years in our justice system who can be clumsy at time face a lot of corruption in the police and sometimes any civilian who happens to seem like good people until they end up in the wrong crowd. Take Ferris Boyle or dare I say Roland Daggett for example in the media back in the past they both paint this picture of being all righteous and have concentrations for all life but thanks to that power and wealth in their head they uses it to corrupt, ruined and make others turn a blind eye for their wrong doing. Basically with those kind of corruption come from the higher power, the results is what makes Gotham and Bludhaven a place known for cruelty evil from criminals due to the crooked police being brought off by mobster with one thing only money and power as long as they keep their good image as a mask instead of an action.
This is when vigilantism comes in to clean up the street and their mess only for the press and the public to spark interest on people like us while we are doing well on people who actually respect us to do the impossible. But there's the press most of the police don't take kindly to those who take the law to their own hands but we can't blame them all, some people even us are afraid and automatically get hostile on things we don't fully understand." Bruce explained the answer as Annie begin to understand
"So like when I first met you I was frighten by you but never get to fully understand you back then right? Annie asked
"Something like that but I hope you begin to understand that not everyone going to appreciate your good deeds. But that doesn't mean we should stop doing it." Bruce respond as Annie feels better understanding with how the world works.
"I understand now thank you for helping me dad." Annie said smile at her mentor.
"You're welcome just don't take it seriously next time." Bruce respond
"Got it and as for you Tim and Sister Cass I want to apologize for trying to close you guys off because of Katherine being outside the Penitentiary I have trusted you." Annie said as Cassandra jab her two fingers on her forehead to stop Annie.
"No need to say sorry we all understand your methods just don't underestimate your allies." Cassandra said
"But it's okay Annie you're not the only wanted to try to look out for us I was hoping you come back to me every night we go out there and fearing that one day you're not at home and I thank heavens you come back to me every time." Tim holds Annie as they both feel better now that Annie's no longer feels she should be facing another one of her sister's sick shows again.
"Tim you're the main person I'm worried about and swore to look after you at all times just in case things happened to you and I will be your shield no matter what happened I love you so much to let anything bad happened to you I will give my life to you since you attempt on trying to do the same to me." Annie vowed as Tim is surprised about how far Annie willing to ensure he stay alive as she kiss him deeply and hugs him.
"Thanks Annie I'm sure you be there in case I did stick my hands in the wrong jar no doubt you'll be the first to pulled me out like a roadrunner." Tim responds with his quirks made Annie giggle as Cassandra leans on the railing glad that her twin can trust her to handle things on her own by facing Annie's greatest threat in her first night hoping that her new life won't go away anytime soon.
"Mrs Cain even though Mrs Wayne has been saying it before I like to say thank you for helping us with her stress it means a lot to her that you are still here throughout the whole day learning from her only to give her something to learn so she won't be too distracted on us whenever Karlo is around shame we don't say the same for Master Drake though Mrs Wayne will be sure to watch him like a hawk on a silent night."
Alfred said with concern but Cassandra smile at Alfred's appreciation
