When the Bat Mobile reached the front of Wayne Tower, the police were somewhat delighted. At least Batman was here now and they would have a chance of beating the villains. Their hopes vanished when three kids jumped out of the car, all of them with a Bat Insignia somewhere in their costume. Harvey Bullock glared at them, and walked; even though Robin thought he was waddling; over to them.

"It's one thing for Batman," He spit out, "To come here and take over as if he were a cop, but it's a whole nother thing for him to send tykes!"

Red Bat glared at him, and said, "Batman wasn't able to come this time, but he has sent everyone to ensure the safety of everyone in this building."

Bullock crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, seeming to be about to say something, but Falcon grabbed his collar and pulled him down before he could say anything. "Everybody means us, Batgirl, Black Bat, Speedy, and Tempest." He growled, playing the scary Bat part perfectly. "Now let us do our jobs as you have done your own, unless you want any problems with us."

Bullock gulped as Falcon pushed him away, then turned to the rest of the police forces. Falcon turned to his brothers, "Who votes for ramming the doors with the 'bile?" He asked, raising his hand has Red Bat and Robin raised their own. "It's decided then."

All three jumped in, started the car, and ran into the building before the police could even wonder what they were doing. The three jumped out, just as the elevator doors opened to show Mr. Freeze.

"I was expecting the Bat." Mr. Freeze wheezed.

Red Bat smirked at him, and taunted, "And we were expecting a villain with an original theme. Captain Cold much?"

Mr. Freeze glared at them, then shot at the Bats. The three kids jumped out of the way, while the ice villain laughed maniacally. Robin and Red Bat jumped to the rafters, and Falcon, after recovering, ran to the side and rushed Freeze before he could react. The man was not prepared for such speeds; seeing that he had never fought Falcon before; so he fell back against the wall. His head slumped back, showing that he was unconscious.

Red Bat and Robin jumped down, and wrapped him around in cables, then high-fived with Falcon in victory. But just as fast as they made their victory, they got serious.

"Freeze is out, which leaves Ivy, Joker, and Harley. We all have to be careful of Ivy an her toxins, got it?" Red Bat told them, making them nod. "Falcon, take Freeze to the police. Robin, our primary mission is getting the people out. You have the second and third floor, I'll take the fourth and fifth. We'll go up from there."

Robin nodded, then Red Bat turned to Falcon once more. "After Freeze, go meet up with Tempest and Speedy. Brief them on the plan, then try to find Batgirl and Black Bat." Falcon nodded, and was off, taking Freeze with him.

As Red Bat and Robin ran towards the elevator, the younger smirked. "You know, this would be a lot easier if we had comm links."

Red Bat resisted the urge to punch him.

Speedy hated the sewers. They were mucky, dirty, smelled funny, and alligators were known to roam. He also didn't like the fact that the walls seemed to be closing in on him every two minutes! He frowned as a drop of water fell onto his hood and seeped into the fabric, making him shiver as the cold hit his directly.

Tempest, on the other hand, wasn't bothered as much by the sewers. Sure, it was darker and nastier than should ever be allowed, but he didn't feel his skin crawling with every mushy step. Also, it was nice to be in a damp place, where water would help him if he got in a fight.

Suddenly, there was a snap and both boys got into battle position, Speedy with his bow and Tempest with his water bearers. A beautiful red haired and green skinned woman stepped out of her hiding place, plants forming around her feet.

"Ah, children, what are you doing in here? Around so much filth and nastiness? Surely, kids like you like other things that aren't as poisonous." She said in a sweet voice.

But neither boy would be fooled. Batman had made each of the kids read a bio on all of the villains in Gotham, and they knew that Poison Ivy was not a woman they should take lightly. If anything, she was the most dangerous villain here, apart from the Joker himself.

"Poison Ivy, I believe we have never formally met." Tempest said, deciding their best tactic was to be polite.

She smiled at him, which almost looked like a sneer, and said, "I believe your mentor, Batman, decided I was too 'dangerous' to be allowed to get close to children. I still do not understand why, I find children so precious." She tried to step closer to the kids, which made Speedy draw an arrow and nock it.

"Please, Mrs. Ivy, we don't want to hurt anyone. We would just like to get the people trapped inside out." Speedy told her, hoping she would listen to him.

That seemed to anger her, which made plants spread all around them. "Those people," She spit out, "Are MONSTERS! They don't care what they do to my babies," She said, a plant coming close to her so she could cuddle it. "They are damaging the Earth, our true mother, and they can't even see their own wrong-doings."

Tempest held his hands up and returned his water-bearers to his back, and said, "We believe you, Mrs. Ivy. I agree with you. These humans, they dare call themselves the smartest animals around, yet they destroy everything they touch!"

Speedy stared at him, "Tempest?"

"No, Speedy!" Tempest said, turning to him. "I come from the oceans, and have seen the atrocities of your kind! Dirt on the beaches, global warming, and the oil spills! Those are the worst!"

Poison Ivy watched in amazement as Tempest pointed out everything bad, then turned to her. "I am tired of having to clean up after their trash. They do not care who they hurt, and I..." He said, then smiled evilly. "I would like to help you take revenge." He said, walking over to her.

The plants retracted as Tempest walked over to her and stood in front of her. "Are you willing to help me help the Earth?" She asked, wondering had brought this on. She always though the Bat would have his Brats on a tight leash.

"If it means I help the oceans and my home, I will do anything." He said, making her smile.

"Good, capture the archer pest." She commanded, then watched as Tempest quickly turned to Speedy and jumped.

"Wait, can't we talk about this?" Speedy squealed, but stopped when Tempest tried to punch him.

A barely trained human was no match for a highly trained Atlantean. Tempest punched, kicked, and just plain old attacked with such speed and accuracy that another human wouldn't have survived a second. But, Speedy dodged and paried with all he could, but that wasn't enough. After Speedy was knocked out, Tempest turned to Ivy, dropping the other boy's body onto the side. "What now?"

"Come, Tempest. I am sure the Joker will be proud to see one of the Bat Brats with us." She told him, a plant wrapping around his shoulder to lead him away.

"Of course, Mrs. Ivy." He told her, walking away with her.

She looked down at him, unable to get a hold of her curiousity. "What do you mean by you being from the seas?" She asked.

He looked up at her, glaring up slightly, and said, "I come from the lost city of Atlantis, Mrs. Ivy. But, I am up here for one reason. To save it."

She smiled and nodded, then stepped into the elevator with him. "To the top floor, Tempest. We have much talk for saving the planet to do."

Yay for twists! I really should just stop asking for reviews, because you always do. I really love you all. I have reasons for what I do, so please don't hound me for what Kaldur did. Review and you know I'll update tomorrow.
