A/N: thanks to monzepelmoon, Vandalia Sakura, Sirens in the water, Player Zero, Irenerb, and .31 for the wonderful reviews. Sorry about taking so long. I wanted to get a good map of Gotham.

"Team, I have a mission for you." They all turned to face Batman. "The Joker has escaped from his cell at Arkham. As such, I'll be busy hunting him down. I'm placing the security of Gotham into your hands. Robin and Artemis will assign you to your sectors. As Gotham natives, they know the city best. I'll keep the Team informed as to where the Joker is." He glared at the Team. "If you come across him, do not engage. Flee."

He turned to the zeta tubes. "You are safer that way." Recognized, Batman 02.

"Not very covert," Superboy commented.

"This is Gotham. You have to be covert," Artemis said. "Or you die."

"Robin will assign patrol areas," Kaldur said, ignoring Artemis' comment.

"Arty can make comments there, if she likes," Robin said, earning a glare from the archer.

"I'll be taking Crime Alley," Robin said. The Bio-Ship was in route to a hangar outside of Gotham City. "It's the worst part of town and I have some experience there alone."

"I should be going there," Artemis said, cutting in.

"I want you to work the Bowery and Amusement Mile. That'll include the neighborhoods in between, minus my area." Artemis nodded.

"Miss M, take the Upper East Side and Robinson Park. Ivy has a habit of living in the park, so your physiology will protect you. However, I would suggest staying out of the Fashion District. Not much happens there." M'gann didn't respond, focusing on flying.

"Aqualad, you have the Gotham River and the Harbor. Make sure to check in on Blackgate; most of the Joker's crew is there and with you in the water, it will make Bats' life much easier."

"I will be ready."

"Superboy, you have the Coventry, Gotham U., and first response for Arkham Asylum." The Kryptonian nodded.

"That leaves KF. You have the Upper West Side, Old Gotham, the Tricorner, and the surrounding countryside, including Brentwood Academy and Wayne Manor."

"Don't worry about me."

"We'll be landing in ten minutes," M'gann said. "My telepathic link doesn't work over an area as large as Gotham, so we'll have to rely on COMs."

Edward Nigma looked at the light projectors. "You've outdone yourself this time, Luthor."

"You'll have to thank my leadership during the No Man's Land Period. The work LexCorp did has allowed us with the ability to move under the Dark Knight's nose. The Light has deemed these gains a viable loss, with the price being the children."

"Oh, don't worry about them," Nigma said. He tapped his cane twice. The projectors turned on and green light emerged from the Gotham LexCorp Tower.

"Riddle me this, Justice Brats."

A/N: short, but I do have an idea.
