"You take Harley and I'll take Joker." Batman instructed as they got closer.
"Right." She agreed. She was perfectly fine with letting him handle Joker since he was here.
When they were close enough to see where Joker and Harley stood, the two heroes stood in the shadows again. Cosmos started trying to determine which of her powers would be best to use on Harley. She was silently glad that she could also tap into the abilities of her remaining senshi. That was an effect of when they loaned her their powers to allow her the upgrade to Cosmos.
Unknown to Cosmos, Batman was receiving word from Alfred that the senshi had noticed Cosmos' disappearance and were heading their way. Silently, he let Alfred know that he understood and gave a soft muttering that it took them long enough.
"Ready?" Batman asked Cosmos, while readying a batarang in his hand.
"Ready." She confirmed, readying a fire arrow and aiming it right at Harley.
Cosmos let the arrow fly the same time that Batman tossed his batarang. The arrow knocked Harley's hat off of her head while the Batarang hit Joker in the stood from his chair and looked in the direction the two attacks had come from.
"Well Harley, seems we have a rodent in the building. Bats has come to play." He laughed. "Come out, come out Batsy."
Batman nodded to Cosmos and both heroes stepped from the shadows, both looking ready to fight.
"That's better Bats. Just the two of us." Joker egged him on.
Batman headed on to fight the Joker. Even though he knew Joker hadn't managed to harm Cosmos, he was still angry enough that she had even come close to being harmed and it showed as his punches and kicks had more force to them whether they missed or not.
"Well, seems the Bat is extra angry tonight. Did we wake you too early?" Joker egged.
Harley looked to Cosmos. "Come on toots. Let's let the men talk and have a little girl talk." Harley grinned as she took a stance. "Come and get me."
Cosmos went right over to Harley. Though both women got a few hits on each other, Harley wasn't going to stay in one spot too long. Harley grinned and turned towards a ladder that led to a thin area that was above the vat of acid that Joker had likely planned to dip Cosmos in.
Cosmos chased after Harley quickly, leaping up to the walkway rather than climbing the ladder for the sake of time. Up there, the two women continued their fight, moving around each other until Cosmos was unknowingly standing with her back to the opening in the walkway that was over the vat of acid. At the sight of that, Harley smirked. "Looks like you'll be taking that dip after all." She quickly shoved Cosmos off the walkway, taking advantage of the brief confusion on the sailor soldier's face at her words. Cosmos screamed as she fell.
"Bye toots!" Harley grinned as she stood watching before starting down the ladder.
Batman had heard Cosmos screamed and turned. No! Usa!
The Joker, of course, was letting out one of his infamous laughs. "You'll never make it in time.
Bruce didn't know what made him do it, but he tossed one of his batarangs straight, the weapon glowing purple before growing in size. Both Joker and Harley stopped laughing and grinning as they watched the change in the device. It grew to a right size just in time for Cosmos to land on it before it brought her back around safely to Bruce, hovering in midair.
The silver-haired senshi of justice was panting heavily in relief, even as Batman helped her get off the batarang. If she hadn't already known by this point that that had been Bruce under the cowl, she definitely knew when she felt the Saturnian based energy around the batarang when it caught her. Taking a deep breath, she recovered her composure just in time to call on the powers of Venus to use a love chain to capture Harley, making the evil sidekick drop to the floor.
Batman on the other hand, took advantage of the Joker's shock to punch the clown prince of crime and knock him out before handcuffing him. He then grabbed the batarang, which instantly returned to its original size upon his touch. Without a sign he'd been shocked, he put it he turned and opened a portal that led right to the outside of the police station. At the moment, he knew his powers from the past had returned and there was already no use hiding them. Joker and Harley were crazy enough that no one would believe them if they'd mentioned he used a portal to get them to the police. Without a word, he sent both clowns through the portal and closed it back. He then turned to Cosmos and sighed. "I know, I've got some explaining to do. But so do you. The others are on their way. We'll get the Joker's men to the police station, and I'll explain everything if you come back with me to the manor afterward."
Cosmos nodded. "Deal." She turned and started for the hallway where they'd left Joker's men passed out before the place started to shake. "Uranus…" She muttered in annoyance as they walked. "I'm totally going to hear it from her."
"I'll take care of it." Batman reassured her as they continued walking until they met up with the other senshi.
Seeing the men stunned and tied up, Batman opened a portal to the police station and pushed them through as well before closing it back like he had before with Joker and Harley. He then looked to the senshi and upon seeing Uranus about to start in on Cosmos, he held a hand up.
"Save it. She'll already have to hear about it from me." He told her straight before leading Cosmos out of the area and to the Batmobile, leaving the other senshi to just head back to the hotel. Once at the car, he clicked the button to open it up and looked to Cosmos. "Get in."
Cosmos nodded and climbed into the sleek vehicle, watching as he got in on the driver's side. Once the car had sealed back up,he contacted Alfred while pulling off from the area to head back to the bat-cave.
"I trust our dear Miss Usagi is safe and sound." Alfred spoke as his face appeared on the screen.
"See for yourself Alfred." He made a slight gesture with his head in the direction of the passenger seat.
Alfred turned and looked. "Oh my. Guess this means you know then."
Cosmos nodded, "I do. Guess I'll see you again soon." She smiled softly.
"So it seems. I'll be here when you both get in." Alfred smiled back, glad that she was safe, before disconnecting.
Usagi sighed and de-transformed. "I'm sorry."
