Chapter 10
1 Hour and 25 minutes till detonation
Nightwing and Red Hood ran up multiple flights of stairs, looking out for signs of fighting.
"Did I ever tell you the story when I got laid by Starfire one time? Best night ever," said Jason.
"She was my girlfriend once," said Nightwing.
"You clearly don't do her justice, unlike me, if you catch my drift," said Red Hood slyly.
The continued up more flights of stares until the saw the Suicide Squad. On the floor were many bodies, all Joker's men.
"Ah, if it isn't Nightwing. Tell me, how is the Teen Titans?" asked Slade.
"Quit playing games Slade," said Nightwing.
"You guys go, I'll deal with him," said Slade.
Deadshot and Boomerang ran over to an elevator used by the construction workers and went up. Red Hood ran over and jumped onto the bottom of it, holding on to whatever his hands could get a hold of.
"It's been a while," said Slade, pulling out his staff.
"Doesn't mean I can't stop you," said Nightwing, drawing out his escrima sticks.
"You've changed. All grown up and mature now," said Slade.
"You've changed to. Your an old man now," said Nightwing, smiling.
"This is going to be fun," said Slade.
Hit after hit came from the two enemies. Nightwing countered Slade's long swipes, Slade countered Nightwing's quick sharp jabs. Slade hit Nightwing several times and sealed out a roundhouse kick to the side of Nightwing's face. Blood spurted out of Nightwing's mouth as several teeth were knocked out. He felt his nose and realised that it's was broken, blood spreading of his suit.
"You can give up," said Slade, mocking Nightwing.
Nightwing yelled and charged at Slade, drop kicking Slade in the head. His helmet split in half and landed on the floor. Nightwing grabbed the staff and threw it out of the building. Slade then drew out his sword and swiped at Nightwing, who attempted to dodge the swipes, but was unsucceful. Each swipe cut his outfit and face, cutting into his skin. His domino mask was also damaged.
He was no stuck in a corner and was using his sticks to party each attack blown by Slade. And then, without thinking what would happen, Nightwing grabbed the sword, pushed it into the wall behind him, used the wall to flip over Slade, with the skills of an acrobat, and grabbed Slade's head, smacking it into the sword.
Slade grunted in agony as his mouth and nose gushed blood and faced Nightwing, who's sticks had been damaged greatly. He threw aside the weapons and faced Slade.
"Old fashioned way then," said Nightwing.
They charged at each other and furiously attached each other, countering each other's kicks and punches, fists and boots making contact with faces and bodies. More blood gushed out of each other with each blow. They then backed off from each other for a moment.
"You fight very well Nightwing," said Slade, wiping his mouth.
Nightwing then ran at Slade, grabbing his arm and snapping it. As Slade screamed in pain, Nightwing roundhouse kicked Slade, knocking him out. Nightwing panted and fell to the ground, on the verge of passing out. He pressed a button on his blood stained gauntlets and spoke into a small microphone.
"Red Hood, where are you?" asked Nightwing.
"I'm a little busy here," said Red Hood. The conversation ended as Nightwing passed out.
Red Hood dodged each boomerang thrown at him, by either shooting them or moving out of the way.
"Kid, I seriously hate you," said Boomerang.
"That's not a nice thing to say," said Red Hood, who approached Boomerang and punched him several times, knocking him out.
"What a loser," said Red Hood.
Deadshot had gone after Joker himself when Boomerang stayed behind to deal with Red Hood. He had better hurry up, as A.R.G.U.S hadn't been given the ok to go into the building, and he wasn't in the mood to deal with the government.
Red Hood ran up more stairs until he came face to face with twenty armed henchmen, including Harley Quinn, who was carrying two hand guns and her giant hammer.
"Well, if it isn't Batman's other bitch," said Harley.
"I've got no time for games. Where's Joker?" asked Red Hood calmly.
"Your not going near him. Get him boys," said Harley, who ran to the top floor.
"Boys, your gonna wish your dead after I deal with you," said Red Hood.
He threw a flash bang on the ground, blinding the henchmen. He then quickly attacked the henchmen, who were firing random shots from their guns.
Within a minute, the room was cleared from danger. All henchmen were on the ground, dead.
"That wasn't hard," said Red Hood. "Now, time to find Dick."
He jogged over to the elevator and climbed on top of it. He then cut the steel rope with a special knife and was sent plummeting to the floor where Nightwing was on.
"Woo Hoo! Giddy up cowboy!" yelled Red Hood.
The elevator crashed into the floor and Red Hood jb led off from the elevator, unharmed. He spotted Nightwing and ran over to him, sliding next to him.
"Dick? You better not be dead on me," said Red Hood in panic.
Nightwing opened his eyes and smiled.
"What happens to you?" asked Red Hood.
"You should see the other guy," said Nightwing nodding towards Slade.
"Your an friggin animal!" said Red Hood, bumping fists with his adoptive brother.
