Hey everyone welcome to another chapter. So the new Justice league trailer hit and it's awesome. Before I begin there seems to be a little confusion with my last chapter. Robin is not yet out in the field. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.

Night had fallen over the streets of metropolis, but it was still alive. Being a populated city meant that even at night people still roamed the streets. This was nothing like Vegeta had ever seen. The only time he was ever with other people was on Frieza's ships. And even then none of them were that populated. Vegeta stopped walking as he watched a news broadcast in the window.

"It's been two weeks now since the attack on Gotham city, and finally their leader has spoken." A lady reported. "The man, now known to us as Arthur Curry. Has condemned the actions of their former leader. Mr Curry has started opening up to peace treaties with the U.N. In the attempt at an alliance. The Atlantean army was stopped by a group of super powered individuals, which has everyone asking. Who are these people? What can there powers do? And most importantly, can they be trusted?"

Vegeta continued to walk along, wanting just to hurt anyone mentioning the Kryptonians. It was only the prospect of a rematch with Kakarot that kept him from doing anything. Once Kakarot returned to Earth he would reclaim his pride. Vegeta now found himself in an alley way, preferring the quiet. As he was halfway thorough he came across two men mugging a homeless man. They immediately stopped as the two muggers noticed him.

"You better leave fella." The first one whispered, Vegeta though was unmoved.

"Your in my way." The prince responded, causing them both to start howling in laughter.

"Did he just threaten me?"

"I think he did." The second one added, pulling his gun out. "Not gonna lie, that was a really stupid move." Before either of them could blink though, they were sent flying through the nearby fence. The two men could barely walk, but they managed to crawl away. Vegeta continued along, who now found himself being followed by the man getting mugged.

"Um... I would just like to say thanks." He told the elite.

"I didn't do it for you, now leave me alone, or else." Vegeta threatened.

"Woah there stranger, just wanted to show my appreciation. Why don't I give you something in return?"

"What could you possibly be able to give me?"

"Well how about some food?" Suddenly the Saiyan prince had became very excited. His eyes lit up in anticipation. "A local supermarket had a mix up with their delivery. A whole crate of food turned up out of date. But instead of disposing it they gave the crate to me." For the first time tonight Vegeta smiled.

"Show the way!"

Bruce found his way into the building by it's roof. It wasn't an easy fit but he managed to squeeze through the gap. He crouched down and started to walkthrough the corridor, being as silent as a mouse. The room's were all dark, damp and not very well illuminated. The caped crusaders heart was beating faster than he could count. One wrong move and Dr Crane was dead. Eventually Bruce found himself looking down on Dr Crane and the thugs.

"Di... Robin, the guards have Crane at gunpoint. Is there any way to draw some of them outside?" Batman asked.

"I could use the drone to set off some car alarms, but who knows how many it will attract?" Dick replied.

"Do it!" After a few seconds, the alarm's activated causing growing concerns among Crane's guards.

"What was that?" One of them questioned.

"Sounded like an alarm, you two go check it out!" The leader ordered two of his men, who ran outside. The man was fairly tall, though he wore a red hood to hide his identity. "How are we doing doctor?" Crane looked up, obviously beaten to a pulp.

"Patience, soon it will be complete." Crane responded, but was soon distracted by some of the guards. "Careful! That's a very dangerous batch of chemicals, one wrong move and it will kill you." The guard backed off almost instantly. Bruce continued to watch patiently, despite hearing protests on his communicator.

"You're not going to get a better chance than this, it's now or never!" Robin yelled down the line. However his mentor remained defiant, unfazed by Dicks words.

"Just wait..." Bruce whispered, witnessing Crane handing over two small canisters.

"The experiment was successful, now you have your fear toxin." The doctor muttered. While the thugs were all staring at their newly acquired canisters. Crane caught a glimpse of Bruce in the corner of his eye. The dark knight could see Crane was helpless but still refused to budge until he had a clearer room.

"So this is the fear toxin... And the formula?" The leader asked.

"Just printing now, soon you'll be able to mass produce the toxin." Crane responded. The man in a red hood deeply inspected the formula. Before ushering one of his crew up.

"How are we supposed to know if it works?" They both looked at the other not wanting to ask his companion. Before the ushered thug sprayed Crane with his fear toxin. "Why did you do that?" Before any one could react though Batman came and pounced on his prey. He dropped, landing on the first two thugs, knocking them out cold. With every mercenary still in shock Bruce took his opportunity and knocked the third gentleman out. The fourth one managed to stab Bruce in his shoulder. The pain was overwhelming but not intolerable. The thugs wrist broke next as he cried in pain. Two of the remaining mercenaries jumped out of the window in fear of the bat.

That just left the Red Hood and Cranes attacker left. The latter was the first to attack, throwing a right hook Batman's way, who ducked underneath it. One punch after another tried to land, yet each one missed their target. It had become obvious to the mercenary that Batman was just toying with him. Then he stopped and stared at that tall, dark figure. It was like a giant shadow that stared deep within your soul. The thug lowered his hands, petrified at his opponents presence.

"P...P...Please don't hurt me." The thug pleaded. As Bruce approached the man.

"I can't promise that." He responded knocking him out. Now the only one left, red hood pulled out a gun, aiming at Bruce.

"This wasn't how it was supposed to go. Get the formula and move out, then you showed up and ruined it." The red hood yelled. He only became angrier as the caped crusader stayed silent. "Walk away, or I will kill you." Again silence took centre stage. "I said walk away! I'll shoot you... Believe me I'll do it!" A couple of seconds passed, a no one had made a move. Until Batman stepped forward.

"I believe you." Before he could blink the dark knight pounced on his target. Knocking him flat on his back. As the gun hit the floor it fired, hitting a canister of chemicals. Making it burst open towards the Red Hood. The liquid submerged Red Hood, causing him to scream in anguish. Bruce ran towards him, but had to dodged a bullet flying towards the caped crusader. Red Hood sprinted out the back desperately looking for an exit.

Batman started to follow but stopped when he heard Dr Crane scream. The spark from Red Hoods bullet caused a fire, which a still incapacitated Dr Crane was part of. The fire eventually caught on Dr Cranes hair, lighting up his entire head. The race was now on. The billionaire firstly put out Dr Cranes flames, making sure he would not receive any further damage.

Now though he faced a gigantic dilemma. There were six unconscious men inside a burning building that could tumble down any second. Without even thinking Bruce picked up Crane and the thug he knocked out last. Carrying them out of the burning building to a safe distance. Once that was taken care of Bruce rushed back in to save two more. The flames only grew, they were now so hot that even Cranes floor felt like lava. Every step was even more intense than the last. But through sheer willpower Bruce managed to carry another two thugs outside. He turned and started to run back towards the building.

And then it blew. The whole structure came toppling down as batman was sent flying backwards. The flames continued to burn, cementing his failure to save them. Two men were dead, and it was all his fault.

"Robin, you there?" Bruce asked.

"Batman, what just happened? Cranes building just lit up like the Fourth of July." Dick replied. Bruce though ignored the question.

"Did you track the thugs I let go?"

"Yeah, they're still on the move though."

"Continue tracking them, I'm coming home, think it's time for that sleep."
