Location: Budapest
Sam's POV
I was taking out a small Hydra operation not many men a simple mission that just required one Avenger that Avenger was me in this case but let's just say some crazy stuff is happening. The team wasn't too keen on me going in this one alone especially since it was Hydra. Pietro was not happy about it the most but I said I'll be fine and get this done in and out all fine. I froze an agent to the wall and knocked out another agent soon the joint was taken care of and I let Coulson and the Bus team take care of it from there. I was walking planning to just fly back on my own when something caught my eye near the entrance of an alley it was card and it was a joker I recognized the look of the card…The card literally belonged to the Joker knowing this I realized this could get ugly. But I put my hood back on and went down the alley and found a portal I stood near it and said "I am not going in there that's for certain." But as I turned around I was hit with a mallet and I fell through. I landed with a thud and I could barely get up that's when I heard someone say "Well, well look whose back in good old Gotham!" I looked up and was surrounded by the Joker, Harley Quinn, the Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face, Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter, and Poison Ivy. I glared and said "I am not in the mood for games Joker." He said "Well ah poo I wanted to have some fun!" Penguin said "Enough Joker! We need her!" I said "If you think I'll work with any of you. You're kidding yourselves." I was thinking of possible outcomes of a fight I know which was going to happen I was out numbered 1 to 8 not very good odds. I swear Bats if you don't show up! Riddler said "Oh don't be silly we know you'd never work for us….But being Bat bait on the other hand." I said "I'm no damsel in distress if you think I won't go down without a fight then well….let's just say you'll need to go to the hospital before you go back to Arkham." Harley said "Well that sounds like a challenge don't it puddin?" he said "Yes it does Harley." I said "Before we get started something new happened while I was away….I got new powers." They looked shocked that's when I sent Two-Face flying back from a nonlethal electric shock. Ivy said "She has powers like Livewire!?" I said "Not quite Ivy." I froze her feet to the ground and said "And here I thought plants hated the cold." She growled at me and I was hit with a mallet again! I got up and said "Will you stop that!" Harley laughed and said "No one messes with Ivy!" I blocked her this time and swung my leg out and she fell back. I said "Your help is becoming lax Joker." He laughed and said "I suppose you're right." Harley said "EXCUSE ME!?" she proceeded to chew him out I planned on that happening I just had to make sure Joker's big mouth got set off. That's when Batman, Batgirl, Robin, and Nightwing showed up. I said "You're running a tad late Bats." He didn't answer so like him to not answer we took out the rest but Joker and Riddler got away the question is how? I said "Hey Batgirl." She said "Hey Sam you haven't been in Gotham in a long time what brought you here?" I said "Well getting kidnapped by those whack jobs was why." Nightwing said "Why did they kidnap you?" I thought about it something didn't add up? I said "I don't know it doesn't add up sure the Riddler and the Joker have kidnapped me before but that was because I know your identities. They all worked together but is more like Joker and Riddler were running the show." Batman said "We can figure this out back at the cave." Robin said "Race you there!" I said "You're on Tim!"
A little while later and one grumpy Tim Drake later…
"It's still not fair!" Barbra said "Oh stop whining Boy Wonder." I was smirking at him he was annoyed. Batman said "I found out where the Riddler and Joker have gone." I said "Okay where are they now?" Batman said "This video footage can say." We all watched the video feed and it was Riddler and Joker alright then a portal opened and they were gone just like that. I stood back in shock if that portal went where I think it did then….Oh no! Dick said "Sam, what's wrong?" I said "If…that portal went where I think it did my friends could be in danger." Barbra said "Then we need to go." I opened a portal and we landed in the Common floor living room most of lights were broke some still on red paint that said "HA HA HA HA!" were all over the place. Batgirl said "This place has been trashed." I said "I knew I had a bad feeling about this. Now the Avengers and Caroline are in danger." Batman said "Here this note was on the counter…it's for you." He gave me the note is said "Why is a quarrel like a bargain?" signed E. Nigma. I said "The answer is it takes two to make one." Tim said "It sounds like Joker and Riddler want to make a bargain with you in exchange for your friends the Avengers." I crumpled the note and said "Like hell I'll make a deal with those two psychopaths!" Nightwing said "Knowing Riddler he'll reveal a location in a riddle later on but right now…They are just trying to get inside your head and mess with you." Batman said "Dick is right we'll figure this out in the morning for now let's clean this mess up." I sighed and said "We have extra guest rooms you four can stay in." they all nodded and began to help me clean up the mess. I don't know what sick game those two are playing at but they are going to regret it.
A/N: Yes once again another dramatic cliff hanger! I know I am just evil that way. Also if you hadn't figured it out yet this is Batman the Animated Series characters and if you did figure it out you're awesome!

Barbra: Then don't Tim. So Sam I said I was spending some time with Kara in Metropolis so my Dad doesn't get too suspicious.
Me: Okay good by the way how is Kara?
Barbra: She's fine she helped her cousin take out Lex Luthor last week.
Me: I have gone for way too long.
Dick: Hey you have been a hero before you met us here you're needed here.
Me: Yeah I know Dick….But a lot of bad things have happened these past few months as well here….and…and I know things are going to get worse before they get better before long.
Bruce: Brooding on the future never helps.
Me: So says mister brood and doom.
Tim: He's right what makes you think this anyway?
Me: Well I have a lot of explaining don't I?
Barbra: Yeah all things considered also since when did you have electrical powers?
Me: That's where most of my explaining starts.
