We open on a village somewhere in brazil. Bruce and Tatsu have a long journey.
"How exactly are we going to find our way to Gotham?" Ask Tatsu "We have no money and no resources."
"Don't underestimate me." Said Bruce with a smirk he headed over to a near by street peddler. Bruce bowed to the old man and the old man bowed back, he then gestured Bruce and Tatsu to fallow him.
Tatsu was shock. "How did you?"
"I have made numerous connections over the years." Said Bruce
Meanwhile back in Gotham countless police were surrounding an abandoned building.
Commissioner Gordon "That's enough Bolton we have you surrounded no release Mayor Hill!"
"Never!" Shouted the former head of security. "We will restore order in Gotham City by any means necessary!"
He the fires a bazooka at the cops.
"This guy have gone off his rocker." Said Robin whispers to Batgirl.
"He was never all there to began with." Replied Batgirl
Then Bullock said "We got cops at every door chef we can just bust in at anytime."
"Not as long as he has mayor Hill." Said Gordon
"Humm...Chef what is that?" Asked Montoya.
She pointed up to a black strike of lightning flying though the sky.
"It ant's a bird, It ant's a plane and it sure ant's the guy from metropolis so what the heck is it?" Said Bullock
The bolt of lightning flew inside the building.
A snuggle can be heard from approve and then Lock-Up flew out the window and crash into a police car down below.
"What the heck was that?" Asked Bullock
The cops then pointed their guns at the door as it began to open. Out stepped a figure of an African American man in a blue and black costume and mask, Mayor Hill was being carried out on his arms.
"Who exactly are you son?" Asked Gordan as he approach to take the mayor away from him.
"Just someone trying to the right thing." He then flew back up in the sky and vanished.
"Just what we need." Said Bullock "Another wiredo."
"That Wierdo just saved the mayor." Shouted Batgirl
"We had it covered." Said Bullock
"Sure you did." Said Robin
Back at the police station
The Commissar and Batgirl were attempting to comforted the mayor.
"Here's some coffee sir." Said Gordon handing him a mug.
"Thank commissar but you shouldn't have saved me." Said the Mayor.
"Sir that maniac was holding you hostage." Said Batgirl
"I wasn't his prisoner I was staying there willingly." Said Hill "Bolton was just there to keep an eye on me."
"Keep an Eye on you?" Said Gordan "For who?"
"Citizens of Gotham!" A voice called out over the emergency broadcast system.
Batgirl and Gordan looked out the window and saw The Clock King appeared on the largest screen on the skyscraper.
"I was under the impression that Hamilton Hill an I had come to an agreement, You would give me you position as mayor, and I would retire order to Gotham But. At exactly at 6:52 pm this evening you broke the trims of our agreement no I'm fore to take drastic measure."
The Clock King vanished from the screen Batgirl and Gordan turn back to Mayor Hill.
"What did he mean by that?" Asked Gordan
Mayor hill look like he was about to break down.
"Temple Fugate has my son." Said Hill
Back at Gotham City hall
The Clock King sat down at a dinner table looking at his pocket watch.
"Who long as it been dear?" Asked Clock King
Across from him sat a women in a white mask wearing a black leotard.
"12 weeks 4 days 18 hours 52 minutes." Said the woman
"He lasted longer then excepted." Said the clock King closeting his watch. "I was hoping that Bolton could keep him in line, but even hi has his limits."
"And he seemed so efficient too." She said
"Jordan." Said the villain he looked though a preen teen setting at the middle of the table. "Your not eating."
The scrawny boy gave hi a grime look.
"I'm not very hungry sir." Said the blond boy
The Clock King looked at his watch.
"It's already 7:25 If you do not eat your dinner now, you won't be eating it later." The villain said
"It's fine." Said Jordan "My I please be excused." The boy stood up from the table and began to walk away."
"Oh dear do you think you're being hard on the boy?" she asked "He won't be 13 for another 6 months 2 weeks 5 days."
"Precision in order is are the marks of a gentleman." Said The clock King with a smirk. "He will thank us one day."
Back at the police station
Batgirl and Robin were disguising with the commissar and Mayor Hill.
"So Jordan is in the hands of Temple Fugate that's not good." Said Jim
"So what?" Said Robin ""Let's just bust into city hall and take four eyes down a beg."
"You think if it was that simple we wouldn't we have already done it? Clock king is not like the other maniacs in this city his smart." Said Jim
"It's true." Said Mayor Hill
"After the city fell the Fugate gathered together all the crime lords Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot Rupert Thorne, and Roland Daggett. Yupe he gathered them all together in one placed and set up the terms that would allow them to keep control of Gotham. His basically only thing that keeping this city from falling apart."
"This city already fell apart." Said Batgirl
"Maybe but The clock king is the only one keeping loonatics like the Joker and Croc away." Said Jim Gordon "What's more is that he got all the mobster's in Gotham as his presale bodyguards breaking into city hall is like breaking into a fortess."
"And now that I've disobeyed him there is no telling what he'll do." Said Mayor Hill putting his hand on his head.
What none of them realized was that that a figure was listening from outside the window.
Later that night Robin and Batgirl zoomed down the high way.
"So let me get this straight." Said robin "We are just going to absolutely nothing?"
"Commissar Gordan said that he will try to negotiate with the Clock King. Side From that there is nothing we can do." Said Batgirl
"You really think that's going to work." Said a deep voice.
Batgirl and Robin screeched their cycles to a hold floating in front of them was the hero from earlier.
"You again?" Said Batgirl "Who are you?"
"Just call me Black Lightning it's as good a name as any other." He said
Robin then chalked to himself. "Black Lightning really?"
The African American Superhero gave Robin a raised and eye brow. "You got a problem with that name son?"
Robin quickly straighten up. "No sir."
Black Lightning slowly floated to the ground. "I just thought you should both know I'm going to be making a move agents the Clock King I was wondering if you were interested."
""What?" Said Batgirl "Are you out of your mind?"
"The man has Mayor Hill's son hostage I got two kids of my own I'm not about to let that stand." Said Black Lightning
"Look buddy I know you were able to take out Lock-down, But this going to be a heck of a lot harder." Said Robin "We've been doing this for a long time you should leave this to us."
Black Lightning then raised both hands into the air and electricity came out form his hands. "Kid I have been doing this since before you were born."
"With all do respect sir." Said Batgirl "You can't just go charging into city hall."
"Of course not." Said Black Lightning "not with out a man on the inside."
The iceberg lounge
The Penguin was showing people around.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Said Oswald Cobblepot "Tonight we are going to celebrate our accomplishments here in Gotham. Ever since a certain flying rat when out of the picture everything has been going our way."
"Here, here!" Said Rupert Thorne
"But prey tell what shell be our next accomplishment?" Said The Penguin
"How about a prison cell!?" A voice shouted
The crowed gasp as Batgirl and Robin enter the lounge.
"Well it would seem we have some uninvited." Said the Penguin with a sear. "I'm afraid this is a private party no children allowed."
All the gangsters in the room pulled out their guns and knifes glaring at Batgirl and Robin.
"We need to have a word Oswald." Said Batgirl "Privately."
"You intend to kick my guest out by yourselves?" Asked The Penguin
"No." Said robin "He his."
All of a sudden Black Lightning crash though the sky light and fell to the floor with a blast of electricity all the thugs where instantly blown back by the blast. they quickly picked themselves up and charged towards the heroes.
Batgirl and Robin started punching and kicking the crooks away. Several crooks ran to Black Lighting who quickly zapped them away with a blast of electricity.
"Aren't you suppose to be in Dakota?" Ask one on the thugs.
"That's a teenager you idiot." Black Lightning replied
"Nay you all look the same to me." Said the thug
Black Lightning growled and quickly punch the thug in the face knocking him out.
Seeing the violence Rupert Thorne tried to sneak out of the club unnoted. But something from the shadows gapped a hold of him tightly and dragged him away.
The last of crooks in the club began to flee as the heroes finished them off.
With his bodyguards knocked out Penguin started to make a run for it but Batgirl swing a Baterange rope around his legs, He fell to the floor.
The three heroes surrounded the fallen gangster.
"Perhaps we can discuss this like gentleman and lady." Said Penguin
"Sound good to me." Said Black Lightning as he picked him off the ground. "Listen up Oswald we want into city hall and your going tp help us."
"Are you out of your mind?" Said the Penguin. "Do you have any idea what Fugit would do to me?"
"Don't tell your afraid of old four eyes?" Chucked Robin
"It's not him I'm worried about it's that woman he dates." Said Penguin
"What woman?" Asked Batgirl
"A manic." Said Penguin "Some woman in a white mask."
"Calendar girl." Said Batgirl "Figures thought two nuts would be inchoates with each other."
"Look here Penguin your help us weather you like it or not." Said Black Lightning
"Or what?" Growled the Penguin
Then sparks began to fly out of Black Lightning's hands. "Or else we are having fried flightless bird for dinner."
The Penguin then began to sweat. "In that case I suppose I can help you out with something."
A Rolls-Royce began to pull up to the gates of city hall. The Penguin rolled down a window and spoke into an intercom.
"Fugit old boy it's me Oswald." He said
"Cobblepot?" Said the Clock King thought the speaker. "It's 10:27 in the evening I don't believe we have a scheduled meeting."
"It's an emergency." Said the Penguin tugging at his caller. "Please you have to let me in."
"Very well." Said The Clock King "You have 15 minutes on the dot."
The gates began to open and The Penguin drove inside.
"There I got you in." Said The Penguin from the back set. "Now will you le me go?"
From the back set Batgirl Robin, and Black Lightning appeared.
"Of course well let you go." Smiled the boy wonder.
He quickly hand cuff The Penguin to the steering wheel.
"We had a deal?" Said The Penguin
"We'd said we let you go." Smiled Batgirl "But the cops are another story."
As the three of them step out of the car Black Lightning zapped the tires melting them to the ground. the Penguin snarled waving his fist in the air.
From the highest window of city hall two figures looked down at the heroes approaching.
"It would appear we have unexpected guest my dear." Said The Clock King.
"Indeed." Said Calendar girl. "Shell we greet them?"
"You greet them." Said The Clock King looking at his watch "I must attend to young Jordan."
"Very well." Said Calendar girl pulling out her syth. "I'll be sure to cut their day short."
From with in side within the city hall.
Batgirl Robin, and Black Lightning looked around.
"So..." said Robin "How did you get your super powers?"
"Long story short." Said Black Lightning "I used to work for a government agency call Cadmus."
"Never herd of it." Said Robin
"You wouldn't." Said Black Lightning "I left shortly after they made a younger clone of me."
"Right..." Said Robin looking suspicious.
"This isn't right." Said Batgirl
"What do you mean?" Asked Robin
"A place this big should have some short of security." Said Batgirl
"Indeed it should." Said a voice over the intercom. "But why rely on unreliable humans, when the building itself is my security!"
Several cannons appeared from the ceiling and began firing leasers at the heroes.
Batgirl and Robin began to dodge while Black Lightning shot electricity at the weapons destroying them.
"It would seem we have an electrical expert with us." Said The Clock King "No matter there are more the one way to deal unwanted pest."
A giant syth suddenly swung at Black Lightning he was barely able to dodge.
The heroes turn to see Calendar girl.
"I hope you memorize the date because this is your last day on earth." She said
Batgirl then swapped a kick to Calendar Girl's legs coasting her to fall to the floor.
"You better check you Schule Calendar girl." She then turn to the boys "You two find Jordan I'll take care of miss September."
"This is a December outfit darling." Calendar girl replied in a raged voice.
Then as the boys ran off the two began to fight.
Black Lightning and Robin race though searching for Jordon
"This place is like a maze." Said Robin "How are we going to find him?"
"Doesn't this building have a clock tower?" Asked Black Lightning
"Yeah." Said Robin smiling slyly
"Well the guy is called the Clock King isn't he?" said Black Lightning
The two heroes race to the roof and headed for the clock on the side of the building and headed for the door on the side of the tower. Numerus gears and wheels turn within the inner workings of the clock tower, at the center right behind the clock's face stood the clock king holding tightly to Jordon.
"What do you know." Said The Clock King said while looking at his pocket watch. "You've arrived 7 minutes ahead of schedule."
"Let the kid go Clock." Said Black Lightning
"And why would I do that?" Asked The Clock King "I've been a modal father you young Jordan here, much better then Mayor Hill. I have been attentive to his every need. Watching over him day and night, keeping to a strict schedule."
"Kidnapping him!" Said Robin in rage
"None since." Said The Clock King holding on the Jordan tighter. "Jordan will be lost with out me. When the bridges blew up the city fell to chaos and even Batman wasn't able stop it and who is to blame? Are beloved Mayor hill of course, but I seized back control. I brought the criminals to order, I did what Hamilton Hill never could!"
"You really are upsets aren't you?" Said Robin
"That's about to come to an end King." Said Black Lightning "The Gotham police are about to regain control."
"That's where you wrong my friends." Smiled the Clock King "For the past several months I have been taking advance of the Gotham swears my criminal associates have been planting explosives underneath Gotham PD where innocent survivors and the last of Mayor Hill's supporters are currently resign."
"If that's true why haven't you blown it up yet?" Mocked Robin
"I have been waiting for the proper time and place." Said The Clock King "The explosives are wired directly into this clock tower. The moment Mayor Hill escaped his custody I set them to exopod in 3 minutes exactly. Both hands of the clock behind me will reach the stroke of 12 detonating the bombs."
"No!" Robin said while running to the villain.
But clock king quickly kicked him away and in to a corner. "Two minutes left boy, Will you wasted you time on me or saving the fool of the Gotham PD."
"Yeah Fugate." Said Black Lightning "Do you know what happened when you magnetized a watch?"
Black Lighting threw his hands down at the ground and electrified the gears and wheels of the clock Tower. the clock suddenly froze at one minute till midnight as did the watch in clock king's hand."
"NO!" Shouted the Clock King. "How will I know what time it is!?"
Letting go of Jordon the clock King charged at black lightning in a fury.
Back at the first floor
Batgirl and Calendar girl were going head to head.
"You're wasting you precious time." Said Calendar girl "By the time you finish you fight with me my lover's plan will have come to fruition."
"You two really belong together." Said Batgirl "Why don't you let him see you real face?"
Then Batgirl kick at her mask cracking it in half.
"NO!" She shouted covering her face. "My face now everyone can see my face!"
As she panic Batgirl threw a rope around her tying her up.
"Has anyone told you that beauty is skin deep?" Batgirl said
Back at the clock tower The clock King try to slash Black Lighting with his blade.
Black Lightning dodge while Robin attended to Jordan.
"You alright?" Asked Robin
"I have been better." Said Jordan
Clock King pin Black Lightning to a wall his blade at his throat.
"You really think this would stop me!?" The Clock King shouted "I keep track of every minutes every second, I will regain control of the city and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop!"
All of a sudden a large metal pipe hit the Clock King on the back of the head knocking him unconscious.
"That was for my father jerk." Said Jordan as he drop the pipe.
"Nice shot kid." Said Black Lightning as he took Jordan by the shoulder.
Later Police cars were surrounding City Hall.
"This is an outrage!" Said the Penguin as Bullock pushed him in the a police car. "I am a victim of circumstances."
"Yeah, Yeah, tell it to the judge bird brain." Said Bullock
Meanwhile Commissar Gordan lead Mayor Hill to the steps of city hall as he looked up the stairs and familiar face looked down at him from above.
"Jordan." Said The Mayor over joyed
Batgirl Robin, and Black Lightning led the boy down the door way toward is father.
"Dad." Said Jordan as he raced down the steps towards his father the two of the hug each other in a tight embrace.
"Nice work tonight." Said Jim shacking Batgirl's hand.
"Don't thank us." Said Batgirl "Thank him."
She pointed to black Lightning behind her.
"you got a name son?" Ask Gordan
"Lightning, Black Lightning." Said Black Lightning
"Well Black Lightning we could really use a man like you on the force." Gordon said
"Thank for the offer but I work better with a mask on." Said Black Lightning
"Doesn't mean you can't help us out." Said Batgirl taking him by the shoulder
"I guess I can work with that." Said Black Lightning
"Yeah sparkles." Said Bullock approaching Black Lightning "Any idea where Clock King is?"
"On his just hanging around." Said Robin as he pointed up words the cops looked up to see Clock King and Calendar Girl tight together hanging from a the hands of the clock tower.
