Terry woke up and bolted up.
Or would have if thick leather straps didn't have him tied to a cast iron platform.
Darkness was all around him.
A dim 20 watt bulb burned above him somewhere, shedding just enough light for him to see his surroundings.
His crutches were snapped in half and lay at his feet.
Several other people, all pale girls with red eyes stood around him and the sillhouette of
Count Dracula.
"Hello McGinnis."
Terry glared at Dracula's learing face.
"I've taken the liberty of strapping you so this won't hurt as much."
"What do you mean it won't hurt?"
"It won't hurt me. So, what I've arranged is this. Dana here is going to convert you.
Convert you to vampirism that is."
"Wha... DANA NO!"
Dana neared closer to Terry.
Her face was emotionless as she opened her mouth to reveal long fangs.
"Dana you can't! Not after everything I've done for... Wrong thing to say."
Dana glared and stepped onto the platform.
"GET AWAY!"
She bared her teeth.

Alexis stepped off the ledge of a building and glided to the spot Terry's watch
tracker said he had been taken.
It had taken convincing, but she knew she had to do it.
Terry was in trouble, she had to save him.
It couldn't be much simpler...Scratch that. It could be.
She looked down at her suit.
It was awesome, loaded with more special features than a $7,000 computer,
but she had no clue how to use them.
All she knew was how to work the wings and stealth mode...And the battarang launchers.
She had figured those out when she shot a hole in her mattres pulling on her gloves.
She landed on the roof of the building and looked around.
"OH COME ON! The one building in Gotham without a skylight!"
She pulled out the bag of gadgets.
"Well, I'm gonna regret this, but it's my only way."
She pulled out the smart missile.
It was attatched to two bracelets with a sight and a built in "launch" button.
"Here goes!"

Dana came nearer Terry and bent down.
"You know, I'm sure I wasn't fair in the past...Can we talk?"
She pulled his neck nearer to her fangs.
"Love bites!"
That's when the ceiling exploded and a bat-like figure fell, screaming, on top of him.
