Dick Grayson
Chapter 8Temptation(Welcome part 2 of 3)
-Warehouse 54 at the docks-
"Guhhhh…..my face, it hurts so much. Ahah, ahah! Haaaaaaah! My face may be bloody but my laughing box is still ticking. That woman will PAY! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaah!" The joker stood up and wiped the blood off his face, shaking his hand with every wipe. The blood dripped down his face and hands as he stepped out of the warehouse, laughing all the way.
Batman and Robin
"Oh shoot, did I dose of there!" I quickly sat up and looked around, seeing smoke all around the police station. Wow, the gas must have leaked out here even. That stuff must have been pretty strong to put me down for some time.
"Oh no Batman!…uhm" I quickly picked up the com link and spoke with a loud tone." Batman come in! Batman!!!" Oh no there's only a long and silent buzz noise. I sure hope where ever the big oak is, that he's doing better than me.
As Robin desperately tried to figure out the situation, Batman was being held deep within the confines of a cell inside the Police Station. Killer Croc, Catwoman and Bane stood ever so impatiently in the room outside of Batman's cell.
"So how long are we supposed to stay down here with old bat face?" said Killer Crock as he swung a pair of keys in his hand. Bane stood up from a chair that he was sitting in a few moments ago as he spoke with his arms crossed over each other. "It does not matter how long it takes, just as long as the bat dies in the end."
"Meow, why aren't we allowed to take off his mask again boys?" said Catwoman who was lying on her stomach on a table near the cell.
"You're crazy! Who knows what kind of dangerous gizmos that guy has under that mask of his. Just touching his belt zaps you out unconscious. There's no way I'll try going for his cape and cowl." Croc stepped back and leaned on the wall as he closed his eyes slowly.
"Aw, that's a shame…..I'd really love to see that handsome face of his under that strong and bold posture of his." Catwoman sighed and sat up quickly.
"Hah, you'll have to go through that hotty in the spandex first. Sounds to me like she's making wedding plans with bats already, with all that talk from the limbo earlier."
"So? It's not like she's going to show up, I hope. Maybe if were lucky the police took care of her."
Croc yawned and looked at Catwoman. "What police? We took care of most of them when they all rushed here."
"Never say never my arrogant friend. Some things may not always seem the way that they should be." said Bane as he began to slowly walk toward Batman's cell.
"I think it's been long enough. I am going to take care of this pest before anything might happen."
Croc jumped in front of Bane as he waved his arms frantically up and down. "Wait! Were supposed to wait. You can't just accept a job and go half way."
"I accepted enough money for half the job. I do not care for the rest. I only care for the bat's death, nothing else." Bane pulled off his trench coat and began exerting pressure throughout his muscles, making his veins pop over his skin. Blood leaked out of his skin until he stopped forcing his muscles out. Before stood a man at seven feet tall, and now stood a twelve feet behemoth.
"Step aside or I will be forced to kill you my self."
"Okay man, whatever you say." Croc moved out of the way as Bane took hold of the cell doors and ripped them clean off their hinges, tossing the gate through the wall to the side of Catwoman.
"Hey! Watch it." Catwoman said as she stepped to the side.
"Hello there puny Bat. It's time you paid for all the times you made a fool of me. No little man should ever be able to take me down." Bane swung his arm at Batman with his hand grasping Batman's neck. Bane held up the Batman high in the sky as the roar of an engine was heard.
'What is that annoying sound?"
CRASH! The bat mobile came crashing through the wall behind Bane, bumping into him, just barely missing Batman. With the quick impact, Bane was forced to release Batman to the ground, setting him free.
"Meow, looks like it's time for this cat to make her escape. I already now where this party is headed." Catwoman snagged her suit case along with Banes and Crocs. Soon after she hurried out of the hole that Bane had made moments earlier.
"Hey! Come back with my loot. You….you thief!" Croc followed after Catwoman as she turned her attention to croc, sticking her tongue out and waving to him as she jetted off.
"You'll never catch me crocky"
The doors on the bat mobile slowly opened and Robin leaped out and stepped on the hood of the vehicle, giving off a triumphant face and pose.
"There's no way that Batman can outdo that entrance." Robin laughed to himself as he placed his hands on his hips and stood in the line of light that was coming from the hole behind him.
"You puny little brat!" Bane pushed the vehicle to the side as he grabbed Robin's leg and pulled him. He held Robin by his foot, making him float in the air backwards.
"Woaa! Let me go you ugly bear." said I as I tried to squirm my way out of this "I told you so" moments. Gee golly is batman going to have a cow about this situation if he ever finds out. Oh wait I think I see his old crummy cape just above this muscles here.
"I am no bear you puny child, but I will rip you apart like one." bane was about to slam Robin onto the ground when smoke pellets fell to the ground and burst open all around Bane. Gas was soon in the air, quickly taking effect on Bane while Robin was holding his breath and mouth. Bane let go of Robin and fell to the ground with a large thump as Batman fell on top of Bane.
"Gah, Robin get up." I hear Batman's voice and I pop up like a jack in the box from out of old tubbies arms.
"Aye aye captain O'l captain. Now what's next on the agenda? Maybe a rally up."
"If you mean a round up, then yes."
Batman stood up and began to walk to the hole that croc and catwoman had escaped through as he took every step with a limp. I see him limping away, knowing that he'd want me to drag my little booties back to the bat mobile when something unexpected happened. He stopped and turned his head at me.
"What are you waiting for Robin? We have work to do."
"Uhm really?….Oh boy. I'm coming batman, I'm coming!" I can very well say that this would be an Okay reason to shed a few tears at this moment, but I'm too manly to do it. Besides he'd probably slap me silly and send me to Alfred's lap later on. Anyway, this moment will be in my memory for as long as I live, which is probably another few days. Maybe even hours if those other stooges are as bad as mean muscle man over there. Oh boy, I'd better pick up my tights and prepare to take a punch to the face.
"Hurry up Robin. I don't have all day to be waiting for you and you're daydreaming." I see Batman quickly hurry off with that lip of his.
"I said I was coming and I wasn't daydreaming!….I was in shock still! I was about to be slammed into pure concrete you know!" I smile and I rush out of the glorious hole that seemed to have been made just for me to pass through. Today is the first day I've lived, and today my friends is the Best Day Ever. Just like the sponge bob episode. You know I just had to bring up that theme song to that episode folks. Gee Golly I think too much don't I?
As Batman and Robin prepare for their first Dynamic Duo, Talia Al Ghoul stood high above one of the buildings across from the Police Station, watching the two leave the scene.
"Don't worry my love. We shall meet up soon, like fate has declared it. But I'm ashamed to see that you brought along a child. I cannot allow you to become a father figure just yet my love. The boy must go." Said Talia to herself as a man in a long cloak stepped up behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Yes, I know. I will be right with you in a moment."
