Back down at the Peña Dura Prison

Bruce and Tasu were discussing of their means of escape.

"So what the plan?" Asked Bruce

"Regrettably there's only one way out." She pointed up words towards large opening to the cave above.

"Ironic that one place out is the one way that can't be reach." Said Bruce

"Ra's personally form of Irony." Said Tasu "Allowing us to see the sky above but never allowing us to reach it."

"Has anyone ever made it out?" Bruce asked

"One did, just one." Said Tasu "And I think you know him."

"Bane." Said Bruce

"Got it in one." Replied Tasu


Meanwhile back in Gotham

Severely league of shadows members were at the docks carrying large boxs in to the city.

"Where does the master want these?" One said

"Scattered out thought out the city." Said another "A littler insurance that no one comes to Gotham's aid."

The leader open the box to revile some large bomb.

"Make sure every building in Gotham is planted with one of these."

"Not if I can help it!" Shouted a voice from behind.

the leader turn to see Nightwing who quickly punch him in the face.

"Get him!" The leader ordered

The assassins drew their swords and charged at him.

Nightwing drew his bow staffs and began fighting them off one by one, There numbers were great but his skills were better one by one the assassins fell.

As the last member fell Nightwing took the leader by the tarot.

"Now where is Ra's Al Ghul?!" He shouted

"Ha." The leader sneakered. "Everything you do is meaningless, the city will fall and the demons head will see to it."

"What is Ra's planning?" Said Nightwing.

"The assassin said nothing, Nigthwing began punching him over and over again.


Nightwing roared thought the city streets on his motorcycle furious in his lack of results.

"Dammit!" He shouted "Where are you Ra's, Where are you Bane!?"

He was so angry he didn't notice a a group of jokerz riding behind him.

"Look guys it's bird boy!" Said one of them.

"He seem sad, let's put a smile." Said another.

Nighting turn around seeing severely Motorcycles zooming towards him, They began cycling around him.

"Just to let you guys know you got me at a bad night." Nighting growled.

"Well we're here to make it better." Said one of them as he swings his bat at the nightcycle.

Nightiwng them kicked the thug away, then he quickly jumped off the motorcycle right before he crash.

As he landed the Jokerz began to get off the bikes and surround him wielding bats and changes.

"So you're Robin right?" Said one of them.

"There's some debate about that." Said Nightwing.

"Well which ever one you are you're about to get you're wings clipped." Said one Joker

Then suddenly a craze lough began to fly sounded over the roof tops.

"Oh crap!" Said one of the Jokerz. "It's the Creep!"

"That's The Creeper To You citizen!" A lanky yellow figure in a red furr cape crash down on one of the Jokerz slamming him into the ground.

"Run for it!" another Joker shouted.

But it was too late the Creeper leaped up and began hopping on the teenagers one by one.

"One little, two little three little Jokerz and I still have a million more to go!"

He then pick up on of the Jokerz and began spinning him by the arm finally throwing him to to the wall.

"Let's get out of here!" Shouted a Joker in a panic, one by one they rush to their bike and began zooming away.

"No need for thanks Boy Wonder once again the Creeper has saved the day!" Said The Creeper

"Jack Ryder." Said Nightwing in disbelieve. "I thought Batman cured you."

"The city is crazy now bird and so the Creeper must go crazy as well!" Said Creeper

"Give me one good reason why I should turn you over to Gotham DP?" Asked Night

"Why I'd turn a new leaf of course, I decide to change my ways and become a superhero!" Said Creeper

"Right." Said Nightwing. "Well don't let me catch you on the streets again."

"Now hold there NW." Said Creeper fallowing Nightwing. "I was hopping we could team up be the new dynamic duo! I can be Batman you can be Robin."

"Not a chance." Said Nightwing.

"Oh come on buddy, I know I can never replace the old Bat in you're heart but I can certainly try." Said Creeper

"No." Said Nightwing "There was only one Batman, Now If you'll excuse me I have a demon's head to hunt down."

"Say is he a Dracula looking fellow? Long green cape, Fu Man Chu mustache." Said The Creeper

"Yes." Said Nightwing looking at him suspiciously.

"Why I saw him just the other day with guy the from wizard of oz." Said Creeper

"Guy from Wizard of OZ?" Nightwing asked

"Yeah you know he sing, he dance, His in desperate need of a brain." Said The Creeper

"Scarecrow?" Said Nightwing in disbelief

"Yeah that's the guy but whatever his doing with Dracula I don't know." Said Creeper

"Well where is he?" Asked Nightwing

"Same place he usually is Gotham University." Said The Creeper.


Later at Gotham University

Nightwing and The Creeper looked over Gotham University.

"Are you sure about this?" Asked Nightwing "The place looks abandon."

"Oh really then who are those guys." Creeper said pointing down words.

Nightwing look down to see two league of shadows members slinking about into the darkness.

"So you were right the league of shadows is here." Said Nightwing. "Question is where is everybody?"

"You're guess is as good as mine." Said The Creeper shrugging.

"Well I'm going to fine out." Said Nightwing

He leaped down to the building that the league members were entering.

"Excuse me NW Whatcha doing?" Asked The creeper tiling his head with a smile.

"Investigating." Nightwing replied. "Now go home Jack leave this to a professional."

He pride open the air vent and leaped down into the room below, Nithwing was horrified what he saw. Numerus professors and students where locked in cages design to hold animals, Each one was cowering in horror.

"Spooky." Said the Creeper as he creeped up behind Nightwing.

"Creeper what did I just tell you?" Nightwing said

"You said go home Jack But I'm not Jack I'm the Creeper." Said Creeper

Nightwing just slapped himself on the four head.

"Say what do you suppose happened to these folks?" Said The Creeper gawking.

Nightwing examining the prisoners. "It looks like there they've been infected by Scarecrow's fear toxics. The effects should have words off by now."

"Oh is this old Johnny's thing right?" Asked Creeper. "The guy needs to get a new hoppy."

"Come on we have to look around." Said Nghtwing

"Ooohhh Now you need my help." Said Creeper

"Well since I can't get ride of you, You might as well help." Said Nightwing

"Oh if you insist." Said Creeper smiling


In a large laboratory

Severely league of shadows members were working with large tanks of mysterious chemicals.

Deathstorke stood in a corner examining severely human test subjects. "The results are impressive Crane, Do you really think you can infect the whole city?"

"Of carouse." Said a voice from the darkness Scarecrow appeared wilding a large scythe. "Thanks to you master's assistance I will soon be able to put the citizens of Gotham in a permanent state of fear."

"And then all of Gotham city will tear itself from the in side." Said Deathstroke.

But little do they realized that Nightwing and The Creeper were watching from the rafters high above.

"Didn't think Crane could sink this low." Said Nightwing

"Geez all this because the wizard didn't give him a brain?" Said Creeper

"Can you possibly take things seriously for five minutes?" Asked Nightwing

"Not a very seriously guy." Replied Creeper

"Okay listen here's the plan..."Said Nightwing

"I know I'll created a distraction well you shut down the chemicals." Said Creeper

"No!" Said Nightwing "You stay here we'll I.."

"Too Late!" Shouted the Creeper while he jumped down and bounce on one of the shadow members.

"Who the hell is is that!?" Shouted the Scarecrow

"We have company." Said Deathstroke drawing his blade.

He then charged at Creeper but he dodged the attack, Slade the swung again but misses once more and he keep trying to slash his yellow skin for to no avail.

While that was happening Nightwing snuck his way to the Chemicals.

"Well his plan worked though I do question his approach." Said Nightwing

"Get down from there you annoying thing!" Shouted Scarecrow

"This is a waste of my time." Said Deathstroke

"How about a little fire Scarecrow?!" Shouted the Creeper as he lung towards the mad villain and kicked him in the gut.

"Gha!" The Scarecrow grunted. "You abominable freak of nature!"

"He doesn't have to be so showy about it." Said Nightwing as he stated fettling with a lever he began draining out the tanks.

"Up to something are we?" Said a voice from behind him.

Nightwing turn to see Deathstroke directly behind him.

"I thought you were dealing Creeper." Said Deathstroke "Including you."

Deathstroke then spry a strange chemical in Nightwing's face, he the former boy wonder began to fall to the ground unconscious. Deathstroke smirk as nightwing's world faded in to black.


"Sssshhhh." Said a voice "His waking up."

Nightwing's eyes blinked open to see Deathsroke and Scarecrow standing front of him, He looked around and realized that he was strapped to a wall.

"What's going on? Where's Creeper!?" Shouted Nightwing

"Oh that sniveling cowered?" Said Scarecrow "He ran away as soon as we captured you."

"Of course." Said Nightwing

"But now that his gone we can continue our experiment and we found our perfect test subject." Said Scarecrow

"Just get on with it." Said Deathstroke

The Scarecrow then pulled out a needle with a green fluid inside. "My fear toxic was specifically designed for inhalation but I find the best results come when it's injected directly with in the blood stream."

He put the needle into Nightwing's arm and injected to toxin. Nightwing began to twitch and turn as the fear toxin began to effected him he looked at Scarecrow's face and it slowly transformed into that of Batman.

"You had one job to do and you couldn't even do that right." Said the fake dark knight.

He then turn to Deathstroke and he turns into Bane.

"Your mentor was a fool to place the city in you're care." Said the fake Bane

"Why did I ever take you in all you do is wine and complain." Said Fake Batman. "You would have been better off dead."

Nightwing looked down and found himself on top of a familiar tight rope he realized he was a boy again wearing his old circus uniform he then looked up and saw his parents swinging from a flying trapeze.

"Mom Dad don't!" He looked up and realized the Batman was holding the Trapeze like a strings of a puppet he let the Graysons back and forward and then suddenly dropped then both.

"Nnnnnoooo!" Shouted the young Dick Grayson as his parents fell down to the darkness below he then saw the Batman who lifted up his mask to refile Tony Zuco.

"Looks like everywhere you go people die." Said Tony Zuco

The young dick looked to the ground and a pile of bodies littered at his feet. Both of his parents, along with Batman Alfred, Barbera, Tim and many more even old teen titans. he looked up and saw the city of Gotham burn in flames.


Scarecrow and Deathstorke watch as Nightwing burst into tears.

"It would seems that the results are more impressive then ever." Said Crane

"Indeed." Said Deathstroke. "What say we test another dosage on him."

"Very well." Said Scarecrow "It may kill him but that's the risk of science."

"Risk I love that game!" A voice cried out.

The villains turn to see the Creeper leap down from the ceiling right in front of them. "Are we playing three player or four?"

"You again!?" Said Slade "This time I'll cut you in half!"

Deathstroke charged at the Creeper blade drawn, the Creeper quickly leaped out of the way and bounce down on to Scarecrow.

"Lookie at that a needle being held by a hey stack."

"Kill buffoon!" Shouted the Scarecrow.

Severely league of shadow members charged throws the Creeper. The Creeper leap into the air and kicked two of them with both feet, the thrid one charged at him but he leap on his head.

Nightwing winced at the sight of the Creeper fighting Shadow members. The Creeper turn but he had the Joker's face "I guess I'm the hero of Gotham now bird brain."

A young dick Grayson feeled someone grabbed of his shoulders from behind.

"Poor little boy." Said Tony Zucco "Can't save anyone even himself."

The Creeper continued to fight off the goons one by one.

Deathstoke charged at him again with his blade, But The Creeper but began dancing while dodge the sword.

"Hello my baby hello my honey hello my rage time girl!"

"Crane!" Shouted Deathstroke "How is that formula doing?"

"I'm getting myself another dosage right now." Said Crane felling his gas canastres.

Nightwing continued to watch as The Joker fighting off Ra's al Ghul.

"The Clown Prince of Crime vs the Demon's head who will Win?" Said The Joker

"It doesn't matter." Said Ra's "Gotham loses either way."

Tony Zucco held on to the young Dick Grayson about to push in over the edge.

"No point in living anymore might as well join mom and dad for the grand finale."

Dick then looked down to the darkness below and finally shouted out.

"No!"

He suddenly punch Tony Zucco in the face, Nightwing began struggling from his strains.

Deatshtroke pushed the Creeper back with his blade, The Creeper hold on to it tightly and cackled whiled doing so.

"Crane the Formula!" Shouted Slade

"I finally got it." Said The Scarecrow He spayed his fear toxins on both of them, Deathstorke's mask protected him but the Creeper backed away from the smell.

"That should take care of him." Said Deathstroke putting away his sword.

"Tell me my friend what do you fear the most?" Said Scarecrow

The Creeper put his hands away from his face and inhaled deeply.

"Pwwu somebody cracked open a window that stinks." Said Creeper

"What?" Said Scarecrow shocked "That should have worked way aren't you cared."

He blasted another dosage of fear gas into the Creeper. The Creeper began scrumming his hair and body with the gas.

"Sinning in the fear gas La La La!"

"This is impossible!" Shouted The Scarecrow "My fear gas is effects the neve centers of the brain, No one is immune to it!"

The creeper gave a wicked smile and approach the Scarecrow.

"You're saying I should be scared right?" He said "I would have to be crazy not to be scared."

He suddenly push the Scarecrow down to the ground.

"Well what's up doc I am Crazy!" Scarecrow began to back away as the Creeper approach him.

"I've been dumped in aced almost laughed myself to death and worst of all was force to work in public television! Think about it is there really anything a sad joke like you can do to scare me?!"

The Scarecrow backed himself in to a corner to scared to speak.

"Please stay away from me." Scarecrow said.

The Creeper got into his face and smiled.

"Boo."

"AAAHHHHH!" The Scarecrow screamed in utter terror.

Deatstorke watch The Scarecrow scream in horror and shock his head. "We thought you had potential Crane but you the biggest coward of them all."

He then steeped backwards into the shadows and vanish.

Nightwing finally pick himself up from his restrains and approach the Creeper he then looked down at the Scarecrow and looked back at the Creeper.

"You never effected by Crane's fear gas?" Asked Nightwing

"Umm nope." Said The Creeper.

"Then why the heck did you run away before?" Said Nightwing

"Because I didn't want to be captured." Said The Creeper

"Creeper." Said Nightwing "You might give the Joker a run for his money."

"Why thank you." Said Creeper giving himself a pow."


Later outside of the Gotham police Statin

Commissioner Gordan and Batgirl looked up at the Scarecrow hanging from a lamp post.

"Well I guess we better get him down." Said Jim

"Of course we can always from a couple more hours." Said Batgirl

From high ups of the roof tops we see Nightwing and The Creeper watch them from down below.

"Well look likes girl friend likes you gift want to go down there and give a kiss?" Asked Creeper

"No." Said Nightwing

"Well then can I give her one?" Said the Creeper batting his eyes lashes.

Nightwing looked at the Creeper and smiled. "You an alright guy Ryder, A littler mentally unstable but alright."

"Yes that means we're buds!" Said The Creeper hugging Nightwing

"Let's start with partners." Said Nigthwing taking his arms off of him.

"So what shell we do next boy wonder?" Asked The Creeper Thumpity.

"Frist things first we got to find out how much fear toxin Deathsroke took." Said Nightwing

"Quick Nightwing to the Creep mobile!" Shouted The Creeper

And the two dash off into the night


Meanwhile In a empty jail cell

Jonathan Crane hid in a corner rocking back and forth a look of fear in his eyes.

In his head the sound of the Creeper cackling can heard.
