Chapter Three
The blonde henchman smiled and moved his tongue around. He was placing a rather interesting-looking machine into a warehouse, hiding it among some boxes. He picked up his walkie-talkie.
"I've got it in place, Mr. Freeze. What do I do next?"
"Flip the three switches near the bottom and then press the blue button one the side."
"Okay."
The henchman did the proper procedures and then crawled his way among the boxes, avoiding the workers. This was a Wayne Enterprises warehouse, and it was the perfect hiding place for a winter-spreading machine. Before leaving the warehouse, he looked back, seeing blue steam come out of the machine, spreading all over the building.
"Brrrr," shivered one of the workers. "It's getting cold in here."
"Ah, stop clowning around," said another. "It's summer, so do you—wait. I'm getting a little chilly too. That's odd. There must be a freezer nearby."
The henchman continued on his route, eventually getting back to walking. He got out his cellphone and called his boss. "Mr. Freeze, I've done it! It really works!"
"Of course it works! Now come back to the base. Our invasion begins tonight.
The hours passed by, and no one suspected Victor Fries' machines. Not even Batman.
The caped crusader drove his Batmobile towards the police office after seeing the bat-signal. Upon arriving he met Commissioner Gordon and Gwen Wilder.
"What do you want?" he asked them.
"The government wants me to inspect you equipment. It's considered good for military use."
"I have no wish to hand over my equipment to the military."
"And why's that?"
I can't tell you."
Gwen started looking suspiciously at the dark knight.
"If you don't you can be declared an enemy of America."
Batman thought about it for a while. Finally he made a decision.
"You can come with me in my Batmobile, but watch out."
"I will."
Mrs. Wilder sat down in the seat usually used for Robin. It was a little hard to fit in there, but she managed. Batman started the car and began searching for crime. He just hoped that there were no super-villains around to endanger the woman beside him.
