Chapter Eleven (Home Sweet Home):
Shadow swung from rooftop to rooftop, looking for any sign of Catwoman. He pictured what he would do when he caught her. He would make sure to crush her head with his palms and decimate her insides with his boots. He was so deep in thought, that he did not notice a black jet behind him taking aim.
A loud cracking noise was heard behind him. Using the reflexes developed over the years, Shadow tried to leap aside. He was too slow, however, a net discharging explosive amounts of electricity caught him by the waste and knocked him against the pavement of a rooftop. He groaned. The last thing he saw was an approaching caped figure. Batman.

"Jason." Batman said, waking him up from his stupor. Shadow awoke to find himself held captive in a glass room in the Batcave. He punched the glass. Nothing happened.
"It's no use, Jason. That's been developed by the latest in Wayne Enterprises. Even I couldn't break through it."
"Yeah?" Shadow said. "Well you're not me." He took out a small pellet from his boot and chucked it down as hard as he could. Yellow smoke exploded out and took the room. All at once, the smoke edged around the frame of the glass and eventually, throwing it aside like a rag doll. The glass pane hit Batman square and knocked him to the ground. As the smoke cleared, Shadow stood with one foot on Batman's chest.
"Wouldn't get up if I were you." Shadow warned. "You don't know what other kinds of surprises I have in store for you."
"You're in my cave." Batman informed. "You can't beat me in my own turf."
"I've been here. I was Robin, remember?" Shadow laughed.
"Things change." Batman said.
Shadow froze for a moment, contemplating what he had just said. A familiar voice came from the mouth of the cave leading to the back of Wayne Manor. "Yes, they do."
Shadow turned just in time to connect with Nightwing's kick. He stumbled back in shock. "It's over, Jason. We're taking you down. You're going to Blackgate."
"I don't think so, Dick." Shadow wiped the blood from his lips. He regained his composure and fighting stance. Batman and Nightwing circled around him.
Batman faked a punch as Nightwing sent a kick to Shadow. Shadow backflipped off the circle and landed behind Nightwing. He jumped and sent a devastating kick against Nightwing's face. Nightwing flew back stunned. As Nightwing hit the ground, Shadow landed, but was hit by a devastating shoulder tackle from Batman. His body was then painfully slammed into the rocky wall. His feet were off the ground as Batman struggled to keep him contained. Shadow jerked his knee up, catching Batman in the lungs. He grabbed Batman's chest from under his arms and lifted him up. He spun Batman in the air and slammed the caped crusader hard on his back. As he stood up straight, Nightwing came at him with a flying kick. Shadow was caught off guardand tumbled off the side of the rocky cliff. A loud bang was heard as Nightwing looked down. A dark figure had grappled to safety. Shadow.
