Nightwing Part 3
Nightwing stopped his motorcycle at a crashed police cruiser. The cruiser was on the sidewalk and the front had bricks all over it from the building that it crashed into. Nightwing got off his bike and walked towards the cruiser, noticing no one was inside it. He crouched down and saw muddy footprints leading to the alley right next to the crash. He peeked inside the car once more, noticing that a pistol had been left in the passenger seat. He saw blood on the dashboard and shook his head.
"This didn't have to happen." Nightwing said to himself. He turned into the alley and saw Frank Boles standing there with his fists raised.
"Come on. Finish me off." Boles said to him. He spit out blood and Nightwing stared at him.
"You were a good cop." Nightwing said to him.
"Yeah. So good, that they planned on demoting me to being a guard at Arkham." Boles said.
"So? Arkham is one of the biggest prison's Gotham, or even the world, has." Nightwing argued.
"And? It may be the biggest, but prisoners break out of that place nearly every week. Your man Batman can't even keep Joker in there for more than a few months." Boles said. "Look at Mr. Freeze."
"You let him out!" Nightwing said.
"If I didn't, someone else would have!" Boles yelled. He spit again and more blood came out and landed on the ground.
"I'm sorry Frank. I'm going to have to take you to the GCPD now." Nightwing said, taking a step towards him.
"You ain't taking me nowhere. Not while I'm conscious at least." Frank Boles said, raising his fists again. Nightwing heard sirens getting closer and looked at Frank Boles.
"If I don't, they do." Nightwing said taking another step. Boles looked behind Nightwing to see a cruiser pull up and a police officer walked out with his gun raised. The officer stood a it behind Nightwing, but made sure to have the gun pointed at Boles.
"You can take over here, officer." Nightwing said. He turned around and saw that a red dot was aimed at the officer's cheek. Nightwing sprinted at the officer and tackled him to the ground as a shot was fired and a bullet went into the brick wall of the alley. Nightwing looked up to see a man with a white mask and glowing red eye disappear from the roof. He stood up and picked up the bullet that the sniper shot and placed in a pack on his utility belt. Boles made a dash for the exit of the alley but Nightwing reacted fast enough to grab a batarang and throw at Boles, connecting with his head. Boles fell to the ground and Nightwing walked over to him and crouched down.
"I'm sorry." Nightwing said. Boles looked up at him with anger in his eyes.
"You're not sorry for nothing. This is all you do. You're almost as bad as them As bad as me. Don't kid yourself." Boles said to him. Nightwing stood up as the police officer walked over and placed handcuffs on Boles. Nightwing was about to walk over to his motorcycle and leave when a black van pulled up in the middle of the street.
Nightwing stared down the black van, waiting for something to happen. The officer held Boles tight and stood outside the police car. Finally the door to the van opened and out walked two familiar faces.
"Oh no no no. Where in the hell do you think you are taking him?" The Joker asked wearing a white suit. The second familiar face was Bane who wore the same thing he always has on. Joker looked over at Nightwing and smiled.
"Ah, it's birdbrain numero uno. You like the suit kid? Make sure you don't get your blood on it." Joker said.
"I think it's your blood you have to watch out for." Nightwing said. Joker shook his head, still smiling. He reached in the van and pulled out a large machine gun. He aimed it at the police car and motioned his head towards Nightwing.
"Now, give me Boles." he told the officer. Nightwing tried to intervene, but Bane punched him in the chest. Nightwing flew back into his bike due to the strength of Bane.
"Someone needs to lay off the venom." Nightwing muttered. He looked up to see Joker fire the machine gun at the officer and the car. After using a whole clip, the officer fell to the ground with bullet holes all over his body. Joker grabbed Boles and threw him in the back seat, along with the gun. He walked around the back and stopped to look at Nightwing.
"Let Batsy know I said hi." Joker told him. He flashed a smile and continued to walk around to the other side of the van. He got in the passenger seat and the van took off, as more sirens began to fill the air. Nightwing laid there feeling defeated, and he also couldn't move due to the pain he felt from Bane's punch. He laid his head back and used all his energy to stand up, get on the motorcycle, and drive back to the Batcave.
