Chapter 11
Landing my bike on the roof of the Wayne chemical plant I slide off the saddle trying not to slip on the wet roof ''I really hope Bruce can make these suits more water proof I'm soaked'' I mutter to myself.
Shivering slightly, I look round for a way in to the plant spotting a door presumably to allow access for helicopters I head over slipping slightly and try the door but it's locked.
'Slag it' tapping my communicator I then start tapping my foot on the floor in irritation
'Bruce what's the access code for the door on the roof of the chemical plant?'
'You should have remembered it!' Bruce replies harshly
'Bruce, there's so many numbers I have to remember. Now can I get in or not?' I ask a little sternly
'Last time I tell you, 333175. Make sure you remember it!' he bluntly replies I so don't want to ask, but hey if he's going to be that grumpy I got to
'Why so touchy Bruce?'
'It's how old my parents and Alfred where when the died!' Bruce replies barley audibly
'Oh, sorry, I'll make sure to remember from now on' I reply gently so as not annoy him further.
Great he is going to be in a bad mood for days now Punching the code in I slip in the door and head down the stairs noticing the lights are out switching to the night vision lenses in my cowl I look round for Inque.
Great all these shadows she could be anywhere even spread out on the floor
Continuing to creep along the catwalk over several bubbling vats of chemicals. I keep my eyes and ears strained for any movement or sound but the rain is coming down so hard all I can hear is it pounding on the windows
'Would Inque show up on my thermal lenses?'
'No her body temperature quickly changes to match her environment'
''Crap''
Heading in to the nearest lab I spot a discarded needle and some bottles on the table
'Looks like Inque got what she came for her DNA must be unstable again, I'll look around but she properly wouldn't hang around'
Heading back out I jump over the rail to the catwalk below then spot a lone guard tied up
''Great this has trap all over it but as Batman said when he walked in to Ivy's it's best way to flush her out''
Jumping down behind the guard I notice her olive skin and dark hair as I cut the ropes with my claws. 'I suggest you run' as I turn away from her she brings a blade round to slice my stomach open flipping away I throw a Batarang to disarm her. But it just splits the blade in two as the detached bit melts turning black it moves over and is reabsorbed by the guard
'Hello Inque' I growl
Turning to face me throwing the guard's hat off her head Inque just grins
'So you're the Batwoman I heard so much about, pity I wanted to kill Batman but you will have to do'. Suddenly she morphs her arms in to blades while changing back to her normal dark blue coloured skin then charges at me as I try to jump away she shoots her arm up changing it back to a hand and grabs me
''Ok fine if you want to play rough''
Hitting the shock function built in to the suite I zap her
'Argggggggh' letting out a watery scream she drops me shooting up to the rafters I activate my camouflage 'I forgot how much that hurts' she calls up to me panting slightly.
'Hey Inque I got to know how did you change your skin colour to look human?'
'Easy I used my ungrateful daughter's DNA to help repair my own it didn't have the full effect I wanted but I can appear more human when I need to.'
Looking round I spot Inque has changed from her human form to the dark blue humanoid shape with a white oval where her face should be but with her arms still shaped like blades.
'I studied the various news footage of you and Batman your suits are strong against bullets but they are vulnerable to knife attacks especially around the knees, elbows and stomach'
'That's one of the things I'm looking in to' Bruce grunts over the communicator
'Yeah big help right now' I whisper back
Bringing an electric Batarang out I jump across the room and throw it at Inque before it can hit she spreads her body out making a hole so it passes right through her.
'Nice try' stretching her arms out she starts slashing wildly at my stomach flipping and diving. I manage to avoid most off the blows but she gets me along my side rolling away I clutch my side to check the damage but looks like she didn't cut deep enough to draw blood.
Great I need to end this and fast before she cuts me in half time for plan B
'Sorry Boss I'm going to have to make a hole in the roof'
Flicking a Batarang out I throw it at the ceiling above Inque and blow it apart causing rain and rubble to fall down on top of her.
Suddenly Inque's arm shoots out from under the rubble grabbing me by the throat she laughs 'nice try but water doesn't effect me any more'
'That wasn't the plan' I croak out then slash through her arm with my claws. As I jump back from her I pull some capsules from my belt throwing them at the water pooled around her feet I watch the ice form on the water and then across Inque trapping her.
Walking towards her coughing slightly and rubbing my throat I grin 'that was'
Popping my wings out and firing my jets I flying through the hole then jump on my bike and tap my communicator 'Inque is taken care off I'm on my way back and sorry about your roof Bruce'
