Sofia found the area where both Jonathan and J's cars were parked. She wondered what Jonathan was doing there. There were several other cars parked around the subway entrance. She quickly stopped the car and jumped out, running for the entrance and down the stairway. She hadn't been here for so long, it seemed almost surreal looking around the room to find where the entrance to the basilisk was. Her eyes scanned the room and noticed multiple footprints leading to a certain spot. She walked up to the entrance and gently pressed the door open, making the wall slide open.

She looked down the darkened hallway and took a breath before forcing herself to walk down the hallway. She continued down the corridor until reaching the entrance to the main bunker. Her lips curled down into a grimace as she looked around, remembering the times her and Jack had spent here. The cages and training rooms filled her heart with dread. She turned and decided to go down a certain tunnel before spotting a few men covered in blood lying on the ground. She furrowed her brows and frantically looked around for her brother, hoping nothing terrible happened to either of them. That's when she heard sounds coming from her left. A man in a red mask fell from the upper level of the metal stairway wrapped around the tunnel. She narrowed her eyes and turned to grab one of the corpses guns before whipping around and shooting the man in the legs.

Her attacker fell to the ground and winced, she looked down at him while her gun was aimed for their head. Their green eyes looked up at one another, she saw a flash of her memories and quickly blinked, shaking her head and backing away. The man took this opportunity to reach over for a gun and aim it for her. Sofia looked up to see something fly through the darkness and slice into the man's hand. It was a metal weapon in the shape of a bat. He cried out in pain until Sofia ran up and smashed her fist on the side of his head. Her eyes shot back to see Jason standing at the entrance of the tunnel she just came from.

Her face fell, "What the hell are you doing here?"

He grabbed his mask and placed it on his face, keeping his usual biker outfit on, he smirked at Sofie, "Saving you. What else?"

She rolled her eyes and noticed another two guards coming from the other end of the tunnel, she bolted for Jason and flipped them behind the wall while bullets ricochet against the surface. She looked at him, "Whose saving who?"

He made a face before pulling her up and grabbing two more batarangs from the inside of his leather jacket and peered around the corner. A bullet barely grazed passed him and he shot back behind the wall.

"What are those gonna' do?" she asked skeptically

At this Jason smirked and pressed a button on the metal weapon. Sofia watched in shock as lights rippled throughout the metallic. He turned his head and threw both batarangs, each one flying through the air before flipping back and hitting each guard.

He looked at Sofia, "That's what they do."

She gave an impressed glance, "Okay."

He smiled and stood up, pulling her with, "Where are they?"

She frowned, "I'm not telling you?"

He sighed, "Sofie. Do you realize they're underneath a cavern that's hundreds of years old? This thing could collapse any second."

She rolled her eyes, "Then just let me get my brother and leave."

He grimaced at her words, "He's not your brother anymore Sofie," he argued, "That's just a shell of a man you used to know. Nothing more. Can't you see I'm trying to help you?"

She watched him, smiling a bit at his dedication and lightly chuckled, "I know you are Jason. And that's what makes me like you so much." She took a step closer to him, making Jason nervously tense up. Reaching a hand up to gently place it on his cheek. He gave a slight look of confusion before Sofia stood up on her toes and kissed him. Jason couldn't help but shut his eyes and grab her tightly, feeling her soft lips against hers. They stumbled back a bit until Sofia finally broke the kiss and smiled at him.

"But I need to do this alone," she whispered into his ear. Jason creased his forehead before Sofia's eyes began to glow and let him go. Jason watched her as she lifted her hand and snapped her fingers. A sudden force making Jason fly back into an open cage, the cage door slamming shut and locking. He grunted but shot his eyes up and tried to shake open the gated seal.

"Sofie," he warned, "Don't do this."

Blood dripped down her nose and she rubbed her head to excuse the blurred vision from her sight. She could hear noises from further down the tunnels, she gave Jason one last look while he stared at her with pleading eyes. "I'm sorry," she said and bolted down the black tunnel.


Jonathan had successfully taken down over six guards with just a drop of his toxin. There were men coming from all directions and he was slowly losing energy. J remained relentless while he fought, killing off over twelve men with bullets, knives and just about anything he could find. At one-point Jonathan swore that he managed to take out one guy with a simple rock. Jonathan let out a breath, "I'm aware you're not much of a planning man. But please tell me you at least have something calculated."

J took out another guard by snapping his neck and raking his fingers through his smooth green hair, he cracked his jaw, "Try not to worry so much Johnny boy," he grinned.

"With you. That's likely impossible."

J snickered and fixed his blazer, frowning at the blood on his brand-new coat. He turned his attention up to the metal railing to see Leviathan standing just above them. J licked his ruby lips and sauntered closer to the metal stairway leading up to the upper level of the cavern. Leviathan slowly took off his mask and tossed it to the side, revealing his face. J frowned at the sight as he continued up the steps.

Decker smiled at him and ushered for the rest of his men walking out of the shadows.

Fucking hell.

I may need some assistance.

Scarecrow grinned, You don't have to ask me twice Johnny.

Jonathan's eyes grew darker as he watched the men circle around him while Joker headed for Leviathan. Crane's toxin once again filling the syringes as he examined each guard with a sadistic smirk on his lips. Scarecrow looked over to see parts of the stone floor cracked. Fortunately, in a stretch where there was a fair amount of guards. Crane quickly grabbed his gun and shot the ground, sending over five guards down into the depth of Gotham's caves. The remaining men noticed them fall and cautiously scanned the floor, hoping not to fall. Scarecrow took this moment to take down a guard and twist his arm back, breaking it. The man shouted but was shoved into the depths as well.

"Next?" Scarecrow grinned


Decker stared at Joker as he made his way to the top of the large gated area they now stood in. He smirked, "Sorry it's not exactly a chemical plant. But I do hope this will do."

J scoffed, "This shouldn't take long."

Will nodded and looked around, "Where's Sofie? I would think she'd be here."

Joker stared at Decker, "Lucky for you she won't be joining us this evening."

Decker chuckled, "Oh Jack. And here I was thinking you were intelligent."

Joker's face didn't falter, he almost appeared uninterested. Decker shook his head, "I didn't want Sofie. I wanted you. It was just my job to satisfy my boss with the idea of getting your sister."

J narrowed his eyes, "And what boss would that be Willy?"

Will waved his hand, "That doesn't matter. What matters is you here now." He pulled out his gun and aimed it for J, "Isn't this what you wanted Joker? To go down like this?"

J growled, "Not with you, you idiot." He quickly lunged forward and clutched onto Decker's wrist, making the bullet shoot up into the ceiling. J then rammed his knee into Decker's gut, making him topple forward and dropping the gun. J stood there staring at Decker hold onto his abdomen. He circled the man, "You should have just stayed dead Will. You'll never be Leviathan. Your nothing more than a pathetic wannabe."

Decker's hair fell over his face, breathing he spoke softly, "No. I could have been better." His eyes glared darkly at Joker, "Better than him. And better than you." His hand shot over for a large knife on the ground, whipping it for J. Unfortunately, he wasn't quick enough to doge the blow when the knife sliced across his right arm. J grunted at the pain and backed away.

"Would you like to know what happened after you disposed of my body down into the sewers?" Decker started

J held his arm, "I could care less to be honest."

"It truly is amazing the treasures you find down here underneath Gotham." He said, taking out a syringe of green venom and piercing the needle into his neck. J watched as Decker's eyes began to glow like Sofie's. The veins in his body glowing along with them as he twitched his body slightly. "I figured out exactly what it was Leviathan wanted. He wanted to recreate the Lazarus Pit mate." He finished with a grin.

J snorted, "And you think you've managed to find the fountain of youth is that right Willy?"

Decker shook his head, "Not only youth. But regeneration. This," he brought up the empty syringe, "Makes you stronger. Makes you do things others wouldn't believe." He grabbed his hood and slowly took it off, turning his head to reveal a large gap where a bullet wound would have been. It had healed horribly by the looks of it, but that blow was one that was meant to be fatal. "Heals you from wounds modern day medicine wouldn't even be able to touch. And it's just below us."

J glanced down to see a pool of bright green glowing liquid just beneath where they were standing. They were easily 50 feet above it.

"Not if there's no body left to heal," J relied darkly

Decker now stood in front of J, abruptly clutching onto his throat and pinning him against the metal railing, "Very true. So I'll see to it I dispose of your body properly then shall I?"

J gagged a bit but snickered, making Decker stand there confused, "You may have gotten an upgrade there Willy. But there's still a lot about me left to learn."

Decker furrowed his brows.

J grinned and reached up for Will's shoulder, just below where his underarm was located, "And one of those is." Decker then felt a sharp pain there and shouted in pain, stepping back and reaching up for his arm.

J whipped both his hands down to reveal two sharp blades from his sleeves, he twirled the bloody one in his hand and smiled, "Expect the unexpected."

Decker growled and reached into his coat for another syringe before J ran up to him and slammed his body against the other side of the gated fence, knocking the syringe down below.

"No!" Will shouted

He could hear Joker cackling behind him, "Shame. That was the only advantage you had." He said, reaching into his holster for his gun and aiming it for the man. "Can't say you'll be missed Will."


Sofia finally reached an open area of the cavern where she noticed Jonathan fighting off three men. She also noticed her brother fighting off Decker up above. Another two guards appeared from the end of the room she was located in. She rapidly ran up and slid beneath one of the men's legs and spread her own, tripping them and slamming her foot against their chest, tossing them over the edge. With the other guard she grabbed the gun and aimed it for the man's legs headed for Crane. He dropped to the ground behind him, catching the young doctor's attention. He turned to see Sofia and stood in shock, "Sofie?" he said, knocking Scarecrow to the back of his mind.

Pay attention!

Jonathan was brought back to reality when a masked guard grappled onto his neck while another grabbed his gloved arm and was about to impale his throat until suddenly coming to a halt. Both men including Crane looked over to Sofia who was holding her hand up to prevent the needles from piercing Jonathan.

The guard snarled and pressed down further, making Sofia focus harder to keep them from touching his pale skin. The third man took out another gun and aimed it for her before Jonathan kicked his leg in and Sofie grabbed his throat with her other hand, glaring at him with venomous green eyes. The guard suddenly began shrieking and backed away trying to scratch at his skin until falling over the edge. Jonathan watched her in light desperation, knowing that if he was struck with his own toxin, it wouldn't be a pleasant trip for him. Sofia was trying to save Crane of ultimately losing his sanity from his own toxin.

She's looking tired

Jonathan stared at her with wide eyes, seeing the blood seep out from her nose as she began to shake from exhaustion.


Decker stared at J and began to smile, "There is one more thing."

J quirked his head, "And what's that?"

He shrugged, "Well you didn't think I'd really just have this fight with you without having a little leverage did you?"

Joker didn't like the sound of that. J narrowed his eyes and pressed the gun further onto Decker's temple. The man chuckled, "As promised, I made sure I'd kill of at least one of you by today."

J remained serious.

"Train to Metropolis. 6 a.m.," he pulled his sleeve up to reveal a watch, "About 15 minutes from now. That train will explode along with Sofie in it." He confessed in amusement

J opened his mouth, his eyes faltering a bit. He shook his head and growled, "Liar!"

Decker continued to smile, "I had to keep my end of the deal Jack. She was as good as dead anyways."

Joker roared as he slammed the butt of the gun against Decker's face. The man fell to the floor while his arm draped over the railing. Blood now dripping from his mouth he chortled, "Now you'll know what I felt Jack." He finished

Joker's eyes were filled with fury as he brought the gun up and aimed it for the man's head, "I'm going to make sure this bullet kills you this time." He hissed

But before J could pull the trigger, he was sharply tackled to the ground by something large. Joker rolled back while his gun skidded across the metal flooring. His eyes shot up to see Batman standing over him. J snarled, "You sure do know how to ruin a party Bats."

Batman only stood over Joker until grabbing his collar and picking him up. Joker glanced over the Dark Knights shoulder to see Jason Todd making his way for Leviathan. Decker lowered his head and smirked before tossing another bomb for the sidekick. Batman turned his head to see Jason in danger, "Robin!" he shouted in his usual raspy voice.

Jason quickly flipped back over the railing onto another area of the stairs before the bomb exploded and shook the gated area. Batman could see a part of the stairs from above crashing for Jason and dropped Joker. J looked over to see Decker jump over the railing as well after grabbing his gun. J was about to follow behind until the floor beneath him fell through.


Sofia glanced over to see her brother fall through the upper level floor. Her eyes widened in fright as she lifted her other hand to allow the stairway to shoot underneath him. J fell on top of the metal stairs and caught his balance, looking up to see Sofie staring at him. The amount of relief he felt was like nothing he'd ever felt before, knowing she was safe and within his reach. Jonathan noticed the man holding him was distracted from the blasts and grabbed his arm, thrashing his head back, making the guard fall to the ground. While his arm was free he pierced another with his toxin. J jumped onto the stone ground and headed for Sofia.

The guns were aimed for Jonathan and Joker, J glared at the men. The guards looked at the two in confusion, they struggled with holding their guns. Jonathan stood confused as they turned their guns around, shaking their hands as they pressed the gun to under their chins. They stood in fear with the barrels pushed against their skin. Jonathan stood in confusion, Joker turned his head to see Sofia's eyes glowing and glaring at the men. Joker watched her from the other end of the room, his eyes almost shocked as he stared at her, her nose was bleeding. Jonathan stepped forward, she looked like she was in pain. One of the guards gritted their teeth and shouted in frustration, trying to pull the gun down. Sofia clenched her fist harder and the gun was pressed even further on his skin.

J was about to reach her until the Dark Knight once again appeared in front of him. "I'm taking you back to Arkham."

J grinned, "What a lovely thought. But my schedules pretty booked unfortunately. Maybe next time."
