Chapter XI

Gotham City (DC Universe)

Ben is seen in the laboratory of the old Gotham P.D. building. He brought Freeze back here after they got out of the Penguin's territory. The problem for Ben was to get him through the prison without him killing anyone. Normally Ben would be able to pick someone up and swing them around a city like this to avoid trouble.

But, due to how heavy the guy is and his refusal to be carried, Ben had to do things the old fashion way. He stayed out of sight on the buildings and made sure to get Freeze to where he needed to go. He also made sure they avoid going out where large groups of men are at. To lessen the risk of any confrontation.

That even included staying out of sight of the TYGER guards. Once they got back to the lab, Freeze told Ben how he was manipulated by Hugo Strange when he came to Arkham. That it was because of him that his wife was taken to the Joker to use as insurance. Joker used Freeze's frozen wife to get him to make a cure for the poison in his blood. However, before he could finish the cure he was taken by the Penguin's men.

"So, you froze your wife in cryostasis, until you can find a cure for her disease?" Ben asked as he is seen on the rails in the room. "Did she know you were going to do that?"

"No, but I didn't have time to tell her," said Mister Freeze as he continues his work until Batman returns. "Her life was in danger and I needed to keep her alive. Once I find the cure though I will be able to save her and bring her back."

"So, she doesn't know about the accident then?" Ben asked as he looks over to see the ice figures Freeze made to take on the form of his wife.

"Is that what Batman told you?" Mister Freeze asked as he turns to the boy. "It was no accident. I was a foolish man to believe I could trust someone to help me safe my wife. Instead, I was used and thrown out once my usefulness came to an end. I tried to save my wife, but in the process I suffered my 'accident'. I was left to die while my wife was taken from me."

Ben knew the part of Freeze working for some rich guy who offered him money in exchange he would use the facility to cure his wife. However, the guy decided to shut down Freeze and take his wife to find out more on his research. The accident occurred and Freeze's body became how it is now. Unable to feel warmth and has to be in sub-zero temperatures or he will die.

"So, you turned to crime in order to save her. To get what you need to cure your wife," said Ben who understood why Freeze is doing this. "Still, even if you cure her do you think she will accept what you've done to save her?"

Freeze stopped working for a moment as he placed both his hands on the table. All while his eyes looked down from the computer screen.

"I do not know…" he replied figuring his wife will probably not accept his crimes nor does he expect her to. "But, as long as she lives that's all that matters to me."

Ben felt bad for Freeze knowing he just wants his wife back and to save her. However, he could hear Sym talking to him about how he needs to be careful. Even if Freeze has a tragic backstory it doesn't mean he won't try hurting him or Batman. Hell, what if he doesn't choose to help them even if Batman comes back?

Ben leaps down from the railing and approached Freeze. "Well, I appreciate you doing this though. Maybe when you find the cure for your wife you will decide to give up crime?"

Freeze turns to the boy as his size thanks to his suit made him stood over the boy. "I am still not sure if I should or not. The same people you want me to cure are the same people who elected Quincy Sharp into office. The same Sharp who hired Hugo Strange and the same man who took my wife from me. Why should I cure these people for all they did to me and my wife?"

Oh boy, Ben knew this was going to happen. His Spider-Sense begins going off as he sees Freeze near his weapon. Ben knew if they end up fighting they might damage the lab. Something he couldn't risk doing so Sym covered his body and he thrusts his hand forward to have Sym grab the weapon.

He leaps out of the way as drops the weapon behind him. "Freeze, don't do this. We need your help to save the people. Yes, I know what they did, but do you really want your wife to know you murdered thousands of people? Just for revenge?"

Freeze was not surprised when he saw what the boy's body did. He saw it during his fight against the Penguin's men. It was surprising to him with what happened. However, he knew he had more on his mind than the boy's suit.

"I would not call it murder if it is the Joker who is the one that will kill them with his poison," said Mister Freeze as his suit begins to activate its weapons. "You on the other hand I suppose I can let you live for your assistance in my escape. However, if you do not hand my weapon over and leave then I will be forced to destroy you in five seconds."

Ben had to think of a plan on how to stop this. He could fight Freeze, but he didn't want to risk damaging the lab or hurting the guy. However, he knew he won't be to reason with him to stop unless he can convince him some other way. Maybe if his wife was here then…wait that's it.

"Five…four…three…two…one…" Freeze has his suit locked-on on the boy's heat signature and prepared to attack.

"What if I save your wife?!" Ben shouted to stop Freeze.

Freeze halts his attack when the boy mentioned saving his wife. "What are you talking about?"

Ben sees Freeze halts his attack and used this chance of hesitation to make a deal with him. "What if I find out where the Joker is keeping your wife and bring her here to you then will you help us? Hell, I can even get you the help you need to find a cure for her disease if it will end your life of crime."

Freeze scoffed at the boy's negotiation and walks away from his computer. "Finding my wife, I can believe. But you? A child helping me find a cure for her disease? I find very unlikely."

"First of all I'm no kid. I'm 15 years old, technically a teenager," said Ben as he kept his distance from Freeze. "Secondly, I didn't say I would find cure. I said I would help get you the help needed to get the cure. Your wife is suffering from Huntington's disease, right? This causes the nerve cells in the brain to break down over time, right?"

Freeze nods in response. "Yes. Despite all the technology I have stolen and used I haven't found the cure for it yet. So, tell me boy. What help can you give me to cure my wife?"

"What if I told you back where I am from we found a cure for the disease?" Ben replied causing Freeze to stop moving and appear surprised. "My friend, Kymera. She has been working with another friend of mine to help find cures for all sort of diseases using medicine, science, technology, and magic. Over the years they found cures for almost every disease, including Huntington. If you help us Victor then I can take you and your wife to my world. So you can cure her, but only if you help us save the people here."

Freeze thinks carefully of everything the boy just said and wonders if any of it is true. For so long he has tried to find a cure for his wife and has done everything he can to save her. He has tried trusting people before to help him, but they end up betraying him in the end. Even if what this boy says is true he isn't sure if he can trust him to keep his end of the deal.

Still, he knew with the Joker locked up it won't be long before Strange brings him back. He's already gotten Quinn back from the police and if she finds out he escaped from the Penguin she will come for him. Or perhaps, might harm Nora to make him do what she wants. Even rescue her boyfriend.

"If you wish to gain my trust then you will find my wife, Nora," said Mister Freeze as he walks over to the computer and begins showing him a map of Gotham City. "My wife is located in the Industrial Industries. I managed to track my wife down to this area."

Ben leaps down and sees where Freeze believes his wife is at. "North Gotham Dock huh? All right, if I find her and bring her here then you will help us?"

Freeze shakes his head. "No, even if you find her I'm afraid moving her might not be possible. She must remain in cryostasis and her pod needs power in order to keep her alive. If you disconnect the pod from its power source then…"

"Then it will cause her to unfreeze I got that part," said Ben figuring what will happen as he looks over the table and finds what looks like Batman's cryo-grenade or at least one that looks like it. "What if I use this to keep her pod freezing until I bring her here? Will that work?"

Freeze took the device and knew it might keep the pod in sub-zero temperature until he has everything ready here. "Perhaps, but you will need to bring her here quickly. With every passing second my wife's life will be at risk."

"Don't need to tell me twice," said Ben who understands the danger. "I'll bring her here, Victor. I promise," he replied as he took off to find Nora.

Freeze watched as the boy leaves and goes upstairs to retrieve his weapon. He picks it up and sees one of the many ice sculptures of his wife in the room. He moves towards it and begins stroking against its face. All while thinking back of what the boy said.

"If it is possible…" perhaps it is possible what the boy is telling him and should give him a chance to prove himself. "For you, Nora. I will put my trust in someone. One last time."

Meanwhile

Ben leaves the Gotham P.D. building and goes to the rooftop as he looks over at the Industrial Industry. "Hey Oracle can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear. What's up?" Oracle asked.

"I'm going after Freeze's wife. I managed to convince him to help us find the cure if I bring his wife to him and help him find a cure for her," Ben replied as he fires a web from his wrist and heads to the facility.

"And how do you plan to cure her? Even we haven't found a way to cure her yet," said Oracle who knew that even Bruce has tried to find a cure for Freeze's wife to help him end his criminal ways.

"Back home my friend Kymera lives in a place called Wakanda. It is a highly-advanced civilization that managed to create futuristic weapons, vehicles, and medicine thanks to a material called Vibranium," Ben explained as he lands on a nearby crane. "The medicine they made can even help save lives from illness that would take time to heal up, but instead takes hours or days for them to cure."

"Amazing," said Oracle who found it hard to believe the world this kid is from has a nation that has capabilities like this. "And did they find a cure for the disease Nora has?"

"They did thanks to my friend, Christopher Strange. His father is a famous doctor who went on to use magic after an accident that injured his hands. Chris learned how to combine magic and medicine to help Kymera create cures for almost every disease in the world. Even Huntington," said Ben as Sym begins alerting his friend of nearby snipers on rooftops. I see them, buddy. Don't worry, we'll stay out of sight.

Oracle was now very impressed with this world Ben is from and how they've managed to do all these things faster than in her own world. Any time they find a way to cure anything there will be people that will try using it for profit.

"I take it if you are out going to save Freeze's wife that you convinced him to help us?" Oracle asked who still doubts Freeze will help them. Even with the promise of curing his wife.

"Well, I think he needs me to gain his trust first," said Ben as he leaps off the crane and spots a nearby weak wall that leads to under the building. He lands against the wall and uses Sym to start breaking through it quietly. "Once I find her and bring her to Freeze then he will trust me. As long as Batman gets what we need for the cure."

"Well the good news is he found where Ra's is at. The bad news is he needs to trick a former love interest in order to get Ra's blood," said Oracle who knew Batman confronting Talia will only end badly.

"Not going to ask about Batman's history with former lovers," nor does Ben even want to know since he didn't believe Batman would be with anyone due to his well gruff attitude. "But who is this Ra's al Ghul guy?"

Oracle begins explaining everything about Ra's. Since she figures he needs to know in case things go bad. She explained how he is the leader of the League of Assassins. Their purpose is to end war, dictators, and crime. To do this meant they would have to kill anyone who got in their way, killing innocent people, and creating chaos.

That this way the way to help the world reform and start anew. Something Ben clearly didn't like the idea of. It sounds too much like other criminals who try justifying their actions by killing innocent people to force peace. Something that cannot be done by spilling the blood of the innocent.

"And Batman has an ex-girlfriend who is an assassin?" Ben asked after Oracle finished bringing up Talia and how her dad is the leader of the League of Assassins. "Wow. He sure knows how to pick them. Still, how do we know he will be able to get the blood from the father and come back alive? You know, without being killed by these assassins?"

"He's done it before so don't worry," said Oracle as she keeps track on Bruce and on Spider-Man. "I also see where you're at. You found Nora?"

Ben goes into the hole and uses his suit to see past the floor to see any heat-signatures in the room. Ten armed men and one frozen lady.

"Yep, shouldn't take me too long to wail on these guys," said Ben knowing with Sym they will make short work of these idiots.

"Just be careful. Remember, if you disconnect her from the machine then she won't have long," Oracle reminded him.

"I know and I'll be careful," said Ben as they sneak under the building through the vents.

Inside Ben sees one of the men hitting Nora's chamber pod with a pipe. Oh he couldn't have that. Ben leaps out of the vent and fires a web at the man and pulls him away. Tossing him right at the door as the nine other men see the masked hero. They all charged at him, but Sym used its tendrils to appear to slam all nine of the men into the wall.

Sym managed to knock out all nine men and sees the tenth getting up. "Didn't anyone teach you how to treat a lady?" Ben asked as he sees the criminal grabbing his gun. "Didn't she also teach you how not to use a dangerous weapon?"

The man opened fire, but Sym managed to absorb the bullets. The Symbiote then spits them out hitting near the man's foot. Ben fired a web at the man's chest then pulls him. Ben punches him in the face and knocks him out.

"She also probably should have taught you not to join a gang," said Ben as he walks over to Nora's chamber and sees her frozen inside. "She's locked inside. I bet I can get her out of this."

Ben knew he needed to be careful. The pod was locked in tight against the machinery and he knew he wouldn't have much time to get her out. Suddenly, his Spider-Sense began going off. A loud explosion blew the door open and Ben looks over to see Harley Quinn standing there with her men.

"Going somewhere? Spider-Brat!" she opened fire, but Sym created a shield to protect Ben.

The force of the blast sends him against the tube as he fell to the ground. Ben begins shaking his head as Harley's men came in. They opened fire, but Sym against created a shield to protect him. Ben looks behind him to see if Nora is all right.

"She's safe," Ben whispered to himself as his Spider-Sense went off again. "Sym, lower shield!"

Sym did so as Ben leaps forward. Thanks to his Spider-Sense things appear to go slowly. He sees Harley firing a rocket at her. He fires a web at the rocket, caught it, and swings it over to the bad guys.

Harley and her men ducked as the rocket missed them. It hits a nearby crane and caused it to collapse on a nearby building. Ben sees the men getting up and fires multiple tendrils from his body. Hitting all the men except for Harley who looks around to see her guys are down.

"You are all idiots!" she shouted at them as she turns to the boy. "I will have to kill you myself!" she charges at Ben, but he fires a web around her legs and cause her to trip.

"Give it up, Harley. You lost. Now, I'm going to take Mister Fries' wife back to her husband and you will leave them alone," said Ben as he walks over to get Nora.

Harley though has one last trick up her sleeve. "Oh yeah? Well, you can tell frosty since he couldn't save my love…" she held a device in her hand and presses it. "Then he can say goodbye to his love."

Suddenly Ben hears the machine behind him beginning to shut down. He rushes over to check on the machine and sees the power is gone. He tries to get it back, but the control panel explodes. Shit, Harley must have placed something to shut off all power to the cryo-tube if things go wrong.

Harley begins to laugh as she mocks the kid. "That's what you get for messing with Mister J. That's what you get for ruining his plan. His comeback. But you ruined it all you stupid little piece of…"

Ben fires a web at her mouth shutting her up and turns his attention back to Nora's pod. "Shit, this isn't good. The pod is too damaged and I can't use the freeze grenade on it."

Ben knew he is running out of time and needs to get Nora to Victor. He needs a way to preserve her body long enough to take her back to her husband to get her in a new cryostasis pod.

"Unless…" Ben looks down at his Symbiote suit and got an idea. "Sym, can you preserve Nora's body? Until we can get her back to Victor? I know it's a lot to ask, but we need to keep her safe. I remember you telling me you can use your powers to keep the host alive."

Ben feels Sym responding. Unsure about this plan and if the Symbiote can keep Nora alive.

"Just for a while and then once we're done you can come back to me," said Ben as he sees the pod is melting and Nora's condition is getting worse. "Please, trust me."

Ben didn't hear anything from Sym and wonders if his friend will do it. He got his answer as the Symbiote rips off the pod's door and begins merging with Nora's body. Ben fell on both knees as he felt his Symbiote leave his body. It has been too long since they did that and Ben felt a little weaken from this.

He looks up to see his friend moving out of the pod and helps his friend up. "Looking good…buddy," said Ben knowing Nora is probably still unconscious and unaware of what is going on. "All right, let's get her back then."

Ben and Sym begin leaving the building as they begin heading back to Gotham P.D. Hopefully by then Batman finished getting the cure and will bring it to Freeze to make the cure for the people.

Meanwhile

The Joker is seen locked in the interrogation room where Hugo Strange brings certain people to talk to. By talk though its more inject them with drugs, have them be tortured, and plays mind games with them to get what he wants. Joker was aware of this, but he was never put through any sort of interrogations. No, for some reason Hugo wanted him to cause some chaos and mayhem in the prison.

Joker felt Hugo was playing him and wanted something out of this. Perhaps it has something to do with this Protocol Ten that Batman mentioned before. If this is true then he will not like that he got played. Still, not much he can do now, especially with him now locked up and his plan to take over is ruined.

Thanks to that Spider-Brat. He didn't know who he is or where he came from. But he vows to make him pay for what he did. Hell, he might end up beating him within an inch of his life just like Batman's last partner.

Oh the mere memories of what he did to that boy made Joker smile and laugh a little. Of course this caused him to begin coughing loudly knowing his time will soon end unless something changes soon.

Suddenly, the door begins to open, but instead of one of the TYGER guards coming in or Hugo Strange he sees one of his own men walking in.

"Well, it's about time you idiots showed up to break me out," Joker replied sounding more annoyed than glad he is getting out. "Well, come on hurry up and get these cuffs off of me."

"I am actually here to offer more than freedom…" suddenly the man's outfit begins turning black as tendrils begin emerging around his body. "Listen well, I am what you would call a Symbiote. I am a life form that has traveled across the starts for years. I have visited different worlds, bonded with different life forms, and all with one purpose: to survive. Just like I know you wish to survive as well, right?"

The Joker merely begins laughing, while coughing at the same time. "Surviving? I guess you could say I do want to survive, but you could also say I want to give this city one last big laugh before I watch it burn to the ground. Still, what can you offer a poor sick clown that is dying?"

"A chance to live," the Symbiote explains how when he bonds with a host he can keep the clown alive and make sure they both get what they want. Even tells him of what he can do and how he inherit the different abilities of his previous host.

"You will get to live and with my powers you will get your chance to burn this city to the ground. Even have your revenge on the Batman and Spider-Man. So, what do you say? Do we have a deal?"

The Joker knew he has nothing left to lose. If he chooses to stay here he will die and never get his chance to finally put a smile on Batman. Hell, he was desperate enough to even make a deal with the devil. The mere idea of doing so even made the Joker smile even bigger than before.

"Sure, but before we 'bond' I would like to know the name of my partner," said Joker as he got up and extended his hand to his partner.

"We don't have a name, but there is one I used to have that my previous owner liked for us to be called. For you though how about we go something different?" the Symbiote grabs Joker's hand and soon begins leaving his host's body to merge with the Joker.

The Joker fell backwards as he felt the Symbiote begin merging around his body. There were screams at first, followed by heavy breathing, and then soon laughter could be heard slowly growing as the Joker stood tall.

"We are no longer the Joker…we are no longer Venom…we are CARNAGE!" the Joker Carnage began laughing as his laughter echoes across the room.

As outside of the room the dead bloodied bodies of TYGER guards are seen on the ground. All mutilated as the Joker's laughter echoes all the way to the entrance of the prison.

That's right, Carnage is here baby! I was going to stick to Venom, but fuck it I want to bring Carnage into this story. It also suits the Joker who let's be honest is nothing but complete carnage and chaos. So, I hope everyone likes this idea and also like that Spider-Man helped save Nora.

How are things going to go now with Spider-Man fighting Joker Carnage? Will he and his Symbiote be able to stop the Joker? Will Batman end up helping him beat the Joker? Or will things go to hell for everyone involved?
