STILL DON'T OWN JL!
Wally was greeted with a blinding flash of light as soon as he stepped out of the limo, he scrunched his eyes and turned his head, " Is it always like this when you go somewhere? " He asked, glaring up at Bruce,
" Always. " Quickly he led the four kids towards the makeshift platform where Mrs. Crenshaw was standing.
" Hello, Mr. Wayne, I'm Aggie Crenshaw. " Bruce smiled and shook her out stretched hand,
" Please to meet you Mrs. Crenshaw. " Sylvia McBride walked forward with a giant check tucked under one arm, she handed it to Bruce, who gave it to Mrs. Crenshaw. Mrs. Crenshaw smiled and motioned for three of the kids to hold the check up, Wally was left next to Bruce, who shook his hand, " Just stand still for a few seconds. " He whispered and Wally grinned.
Clark snapped a few pictures then began writing down his information, " Hey, could you move? " a voice called at him. He turned and moved out of the cameraman's path, " Sorry it's just that I have to set up my tripod. " The man began fiddling with the contraption until he deemed it fit.
" Gotta love cameras, take all the work out of everything, " He joked, smiling at Clark, " The name's John Stewart, sorry to have been a little rude to you. "
" Clark Kent, and it's no trouble, I've had worse. " He shook hands with the other man,
" Did you see the amount on that check? I wouldn't mind switching places with Bruce Wayne. "
" Yeah, " Clark agreed settling back onto a crate, John turned, " Some of those kids don't seem to be to happy to be up there. " Clark followed his gaze up to the platform, both Bruce and the redheaded had the same expression on their faces: boredom, " Your right, I—" A loud blast screeched through the area, and several people began to run away from the platform.
At least ten people had landed on the platform and started to surround Bruce and the kids, Agatha had been yanked off the platform by Joe Franklin and was being dragged away, screaming, " JOE STOP!! WE HAVE TO GO BACK FOR THE CHILDEREN!! " Joe kept pulling her away, " The cops will get them, we're no match for that guy! " He argued. The new figures broke away and went for the remaining people,
" Clark…Clark? " John looked around him, " Must've run off. " He gazed at the scene, the blast had set fire to the orphanage and the surrounding buildings, people lay trapped underneath rubble and the figures had begun attacking civilians, taking purses and wallets. John picked up a short pipe and ran at the nearest criminal, who was yanking at a woman's purse.
Bruce took stock of the situation, they were surrounded on every side except for one, and Wally seemed to be the only child capable of moving, The figures moved closer and Bruce stepped in front of the kids, a man laughed,
" Bruce Wayne, I finally caught you out of Gotham. Not even Batman can help you now. " The green-haired man shrieked with laughter and signaled to the clowns surrounding him, Brittany cried out as a large blue haired clown grabbed her, Wally spun around and kicked him in the shins, " Put her down! " The clown cried out and dropped the girl, Ricky helped her up, then he and Susie jumped off the free side of the platform, " Wally, Mr. Wayne, C'mon!! "
Wally moved to follow them, but the clown stepped in front of him, " You're going no where, ya little punk. "
Wally gulped and moved back towards Bruce, " This is bad, right? " Bruce grimaced, ' If I try to fight, Wally could get hurt. '
