SCENE 13 The Prankster is in attack on the computer with Hunter ties up on the couch. Prankster- "I bet your wondering why I brought you here, and no.I didn't bring you here for your looks.hehehe.I brought you here because you're the new vigilante of the city.and you must have some connection to the Bird boy.so I took the liberty of kidnapping you in order to cage the bird.hehe.and by superhero code he should be here any minute.oh and I thought I might want to tell you.in about a few minutes the whole city becomes a crater.hehehe.that's the up side" Hunter- "You're a psychopath.you will be stopped.in this city.crime never pays" Prankster- "Oh.and somehow you are going to stop me?"

The Prankster falls down unconscious and Robin than heads down the stairs. Hunter puts the phone down. Hunter- "They have men over there, all of his men were rounded up.no more threat.thanks Robin" Robin- "You know what.I remember how much fun this way.I wonder if Barbara will let me keep this costume" Hunter- "You mean, help me out in the city?"

SCENE 15 Barbara is sitting in the room that looks out over the city and Hunter walks in. Hunter- "Alfred is driving Tim to the airport.he told me everything.the whole story.why didn't you tell me?"
Oracle- "If I told you.I didn't want you thinking about that when you went up against the Prankster.I was scared to send you in against him, I didn't want the same thing happening to you that happened to Tim.since they acted the Same" Hunter- "Barbara.I can handle myself.I know you care for me and don't want to see me hurt.but sheltering me wont help, you lead me to this job, to this life, to this work.I love it, I love being the Hunter and all the risks that come with it.I accepted the risks.you don't need to be scared.and if anything ever did happen to me.it would be your fault.I choose who I wanted to be and that's who I want to be.my responsibility.not yours"
Oracle- "I know.its just going to take a little getting used to.I'll come around" Hunter- "Good.this paranoia-Barbara is starting to scare me" Oracle- "You know.you could wear a mask and still look good" Hunter- "How did we get on this topic" Oracle- "Fighting crime" Hunter- "Oracle." Oracle- "Fine.just wear a cape than" Hunter- "Oracle" Oracle- "A utility belt"
Hunter- "This is hopeless" Oracle- "Alright.do it your way" Hunter- "Thank you.I love this, looking out over the city every time we bring a scum bag in.its like out tradition" Oracle- "And that tradition will never change" The shot shows the Clock tower than a bat flying across the scene.

The prankster pulls out a gun. Prankster- "Robin.Robin.. Robin." Robin kicks Prankster in the stomach, Prankster crouches and than Robin does a spin kick, Prankster falls to the ground. Prankster picks up a gun and than points it at Robin. Prankster- "Its pretty sad that I can show up The Joker.killing you will be satisfactory.so.bye" Robin jumps to the ground, does a kick knocking the gun from his hands, than he does an uppercut, shoving the prankster into the wall. The Prankster falls down unconscious and Robin than heads down the stairs. Hunter puts the phone down. Hunter- "They have men over there, all of his men were rounded up.no more threat.thanks Robin" Robin- "You know what.I remember how much fun this way.I wonder if Barbara will let me keep this costume" Hunter- "You mean, help me out in the city?" Robin- "No.take this to Central City.they haven't had a hero since The Flash" Hunter- "Lets go back home" They walk out of the down the stairs. SCENE 14 Show the Clock Tower. SCENE 15 Barbara is sitting in the room that looks out over the city and Hunter walks in. Hunter- "Alfred is driving Tim to the airport.he told me everything.the whole story.why didn't you tell me?"
Oracle- "If I told you.I didn't want you thinking about that when you went up against the Prankster.I was scared to send you in against him, I didn't want the same thing happening to you that happened to Tim.since they acted the Same" Hunter- "Barbara.I can handle myself.I know you care for me and don't want to see me hurt.but sheltering me wont help, you lead me to this job, to this life, to this work.I love it, I love being the Hunter and all the risks that come with it.I accepted the risks.you don't need to be scared.and if anything ever did happen to me.it would be your fault.I choose who I wanted to be and that's who I want to be.my responsibility.not yours"
Oracle- "I know.its just going to take a little getting used to.I'll come around" Hunter- "Good.this paranoia-Barbara is starting to scare me" Oracle- "You know.you could wear a mask and still look good" Hunter- "How did we get on this topic" Oracle- "Fighting crime" Hunter- "Oracle." Oracle- "Fine.just wear a cape than" Hunter- "Oracle" Oracle- "A utility belt"
Hunter- "This is hopeless" Oracle- "Alright.do it your way" Hunter- "Thank you.I love this, looking out over the city every time we bring a scum bag in.its like out tradition" Oracle- "And that tradition will never change" The shot shows the Clock tower than a bat flying across the scene.
