Bouncing across the dark cold waters of Gotham Bat-man and Bat-girl rushed towards the flaming destruction and towards the group of men causing and Zagging amongst the burning and floating chunks of the slowly sinking boat Batman and his partner prepared themselves to take on the squadron of heavily armed patrol ships as now started to divert their bullets and missiles away from the tankers and towards the Bat-Boy. Taking his right hand his off the Bat-Boats steering wheel Batman pushed a button and adjust a knob caused a two medium sized cannons to emerge on the right and left of the Bat-Boat.

"Looks like you've been busy" Bat-girl quipped as Bat-man adjusted the targeting mechanism. As the wreckage of the former tanker continued to go up in smoke and flames some of the remaining crew-members were gathered around what remained of the bulwark section of the vessel. Before they could catch their breath one the ships responsible for their sinking was shifting one its guns toward them behind them a crew of wearing blue,gold and green armor just as they were about to fire at those the attackers a high pitched and piercing shriek and sudden crackle followed loud buzzing sound before the weapons and equipment became useless. Beyond the equipment the sonic blast also causes the modern day pirate to reach their arms to cover their heads attempting to cover their ears screaming at the top of their lungs before collapsing on the floor of the floor of the boat.

"Sonic blast when fired it disables most conventional weapons systems and is able to induce unconsciousness in humans and to lesser extent some looking for a chance to test the device out in the field" Bat-man remarked as fire another one the boats again achieving the same effect of cripping the boat and knocking the crew before they see or under what was happening at least remaining now aware the caped existence on the seas focused their gun and missiles on the black vessel."Looks we have lost the element of the surprise ,better them than us I guess?" remarked Batgirl as the remaining pirates fired their munitions towards them just as Batman was about to fire a sonic blast at the three gunboats Batman and Batgirl heard a frightening roar.

Roar ! Roar ! Roar ! a noise bellowed out the caped crusader half expected a gigantic sea creature of some kind to emerge from underneath rainy waters of Gotham Bay and about two seconds away from adjusting the sonic cannons instead a thick cloud swirling cloud of waves and mist almost like appeared in front of them .It was during the three remain attack boats decided to cut their losses and flee before Batman and Batgirl found the Bat-Boat they life into the air and tossed back into a dozen or so like like a children bath-toy. "They couldn't have gotten far, let 's get after them' ' furiously shouted Bat-Girl suddenly hearing the sound of police sirens and seeing no other choice Batman and Batgirl decided to slipped away to the Batcave as the police boats arrived to hopefully rescue the tankers crew and capture the criminals the two had caught.

The-Batcave

Underneath the quiet stately ancestral Wayne Manor was Batman and Batgirl the former was sitting at his Black leather reviewing footage from the Bat-Boat built in cameras while young female heroine was standing nearby looking over the glass costume cases glancing at the area where her Bat-girl suit resided when not and use as she talks with father and the police commissioner of Gotham, over the through her glove built in wrist communicators .Playing in the background as they talked was a news bulletin recap from the last day and a half by Summer Glesson from Gotham News.

"I love to chat with Barbara sweetie but the mayor is expecting to deliver a press conference in a few minutes. I love you bye" The commissioner replied to his daughter at the end of the call the last sounds being aside from his voice was the sounds of men walking and paper shuffling while a chorus of reporters could be heard in the nearby distance ."Bye Dad" Barbara said as put her turned off the communicator and stared continued to stare to the two costume stands which were currently vacant due to their both their occupants currently using their suits .

Turning back to face the reflective glass costume case Barbara pulls back her cowl and stares sadly and with a sense of displeasure ,frustration and insecurity at the barren costume stand and sighed to herself "I wonder if anyone spotted us leaving or remember that we were even there and of the all of the days " she whispered . Shaking her head she strolls over the check on Batman who was still sitting in his black leather analyzing the footage from the Bat-Boat built in computers.

"How's your father Barbara" asked Batman his eyes focused on the main Bat-Computer monitor "Good last he called he was about to give a press conference about the attack on the container. You found anything interesting that we can use so far" asked Barbara "Nothing so far the computer still is extracting and analyzing the bullets fired at the Bat-Boat, I'm currently comparing the armor that attackers wore to any current design specs" Batman responded "I'm still waiting on match the only thing I been to trace the roaring sound we heard before the boats fled I from and old monster movie from Sweden ".

Second, Barbara noticed something in the footage. It was a small detail, something that most people would miss their minds being too distracted by carnage to spot the logo that was a couple of the boxes and the equipment Barbara had spent much working time in the library and a self confessed bookworm recognized the symbol as modified Gungnir a ancient symbol connected to old Norse mythology .It was meant to be representative of Odin's Mythical Spear more importantly they spotted the symbol a month earlier during a unrelated series cases dealing with the Uppsalamaffian what consider the Swedish counterpart to Costa Nostra had working to gain a minor foothold with Gotham through arm smuggling Batman along with Robin and Batgirl had captured their leader Felix Barton and halt the Uppasalmaffin from making any further inroads although some of the them were able to escape with some equipment that was still missing.

"Computer pull up latest information on Felix Barton and all known associates that are currently suspected to still be operating in the Gotham Area" Batman ordered the Computer.
