PART 7
Batman found cover under a desk. He reached into his belt and took out a miniature gas-mask.
He put it on his mouth to block out Joker's gas. Batman ran to the elevator taking out one of his Batarangs.
The doors were locked, but the Dark Knight placed the Batarang in front of the doors.
A ticking started from the Batarang and it exploded making a hole in the doors to the elevator.
Batman went into the elevator and opened the top of the little room.
Climbing out of the elevator, and finally on the top of it, Batman took out his grappling gun and shot it to the top floor.
He flew up the shaft and kicked opened the doors to the penthouse.
Now Batman was in the penthouse of Wayne Tower. By this time, the gas filled the bottom two floors of the building.
He could hear hysterical laughter from some people who got caught in the gas.
Their laughing stopped.
The gas kills every thing it comes in contact with while making it's prey suffer.
Batman looked through a window in the room and at Nightwing fighting off the thugs with the S.W.A.T.
The Dark Knight took out a knife and cut a circle in the bottom of the floor.
He could hear Lex Luthor and the Joker talking down below.
Batman dropped through the ceiling of the room Joker and Lex were in.
Harley Quinn was with them.
"Oh, it is the big, bad bat," Joker said.
"I'm going to stop you!" Batman told Lex
"Get him Harley!" Joker said.
Harley Quinn jumped forward and tried to kick Batman.
He simply grabbed her ankle and flipped her over.
"Sorry puddin," Harley Quinn said trying to get up.
Batman cuffed her and pushed her aside.
Lex whispered in Joker's ear.
"What are you trying to do? You said you'll get rid of him from here on! But you're just playing around! I never should have trusted you!"
"Don't worry Lexy, after years of dealing with the bat, I've realized he couldn't resist risking his life for others."
Joker pulled a lever and part of the floor collapsed revealing Vicky Vale tied up, about to be dropped in a vat of acid.
Batman dived toward her, saving her from her unpleasant doom.
The Caped Crusader brought her to safety.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Someone who would risk his life for you any time!" Batman said as he jumped toward Joker and Lex.
Could it be Bruce? That thought went through her mind as she made her way down some stairs.
The police led by Nightwing were climbing up the stairs.
"Are you alright miss?" One of the policemen asked Vicky Vale as they saw her.
"I'm fine"
They brought her back down the stairs asking her questions.
Upstairs, Batman walked closer to Lex.
Joker pulled out a pistol and shot the Dark Knight point-blank.
Our hero dropped to the floor.
He was gasping for breath.
"See Lexy? It's as easy as that. In fact, this is the easiest it's ever been. Anyway, he's dead right? So now, which country do I get to rule?"
"Country? That wasn't part of the deal. I just gave you the money, NOW LEAVE!"
Batman wasn't really dead. He just pretended he was. The bullet pieced his armor, but didn't touch his skin.
While the two argued, Batman quickly tripped Lex, got his rope out, and tied him up.
Joker tried to punch Batman, but he used Lex as a shield. That knocked Lex out unconscious.
Now it was a fight between Joker and Batman.
Who will win? It might seem obvious that Batman would win, but anything could happen!
