Harley and Ivy didn't seem to amuse at the idea but this was Lauren, their friend, they'd followed her where ever she wanted them to go. Talking sense into Lauren was difficult so they stopped trying.

Maruka takes form without another thought. Though he normally used his boyfriend's form to be devious though he also got a rise out of fucking with the Leauge as well. This was the first tie they'd brake into base and Maruka was overly driven.

"Ready?" he asked with pure, evil, bliss, and blood lust. Lauren nods and they head out. After a while, they make it to the base and before they could be caught, systems were down by just a touch to the security systems. As they were able to scan their way in before they could be caught, Lauren froze every camera.

"How was it this easy?" Kitty asked. Maruka shrugged "Because they are stupid?"

"oh?" Batman walks over. "Now, this time you've gone too far." his eyes Kitty almost overly hurt. He wishes that she'd just stop and see the light but it was hopeless.

"Hey, Kitty." Ivy looks at Lauren "We should just leave, darling."Kitty shook her head "no, I want to play. I want to cause real damage this time. Not just freezing a stupid street or ruining houses. I want to fucking fight."

"Kitty," Ivy went to stop her but before she knew it, Kitty was shooting sharp shards of ice, enough to pierce through skin if not more.

Batman tried to stay idle but the cuts were the sign that he had to fight. She wasn't playing this time and blood lust was in her eyes. What was causing this hate?

Batman didn't want to hurt her but hopefully scare her into not wanting this blood lust. He got past the ice shards, slamming her into a wall by her neck.

Kitty tried not to show weakness but he had her tightly around the neck to where she could breathe correctly. Her eyes were now full of fear. "You need to stop this Kitty," he said, his voice soft. "You've gone too far, the others have talked about locking you in Arkham and I don't want to see that happen." he loosened his grip. "now listen. We are taking you in the cells in the base. We are giving you a chance but, you can't handle that your ass is going to Arkham and I won't have a say." His voice sounded harsh but it had to.

Maruka, without a second thought, grabbed a needle from his boot "And for you." Roy walked over "I'm greatly disappointed."

Maruka turns into Bubbles now and not Roy. "You could get me in a lot of trouble, Bubbles. It's a risk I'm willing to take just because I love you. You have once chance as well. I don't want you to wind up in Arkham either." he takes the needle from Maruka's hand. "I can't let you cause any harm."

Bubbles almost wanted to snap but he gave in. For how long?

Kitty's heart began to pound. She's done it now. She finally got words out "let my friends go then."

"The only ones going free are Harley and Ivy." this was their cue to run. "we can't trust Bubbles Kitty. You also will be forced to unmask yourselves." he warned. This wasn't one of the Leauge's choices, this was so he could tell himself he was right.

Lauren and Maruka finally gave in. Once in the cell, Lauren pulls her mask off, Batman was more disappointed then he hoped to be though, he loved her and wondered if it were safe to unmask himself. "I knew it." he kneeled at the cell. "please don't be scared but I have something to show you as well."

He had the most uneasy look in his eyes "if this will make you comply better and not freak out on me. If it does, I understand."

Lauren was backed up in the cell, on the floor, rocking.

Bruce takes off his mask "I guess I was hiding something as well." the look on his face was soft and full of compassion. He was ready for any harsh actions and words.

Lauren quickly got up "you fucking asshole. You said you didn't have any secrets. You didn't trust me."

"Lauren, I had no choice." he sounded a bit defensive.

"Not like you are anymore less abusive than my EX." Lauren snarled, she grabbed her arm and digging her nails into causing trickles of blood to leak.

Bruce felt his heart skip a beat when he herds those words and seeing her digging her nails into her arm but stay calm. "What are you doing?" he asked more seriously "Stop" he opens the cell and holds her close. "Stop, okay?" Lauren shook like crazy. "I'm scared." she whimpers. "I know, I hurt you, Lauren. I just wanted to get you to listen."

Her body relaxed after a while and she wanted to take back her harsh words. "I'm sorry." she sounded calmer. "I love you, Bruce."

"I love you too, Lauren."

Meanwhile: Maruka sat in is cell, annoyed. He sat there, wondering if Lauren was okay and how to break out. Sitting on the floor with his arms crossed and a childish pout.

Roy came up the bars "We are leaving."

Maruka looked confused "huh?"

"shh, we need to go fast. Everyone is tied up with something else. Doing some kind of debate on whether to put you in Arkham and you aren't going." he opens the cell. "What about Lauren?" Maruka asked. "She's in love, now let's go." he grabbed his hand and lead him out.

"You have to be stupid hun," Maruka says in the most thankful voice.
