Chapter 7: Call of the Birds (Fin)
At the penthouse, in the master bedroom, we see the aftermath and the following day shining through the window onto the lovebirds. Or one bird and other secretly a bat but you know. We can see both of them were starting to wake up after the night they had together and it was enjoyable, to be honest.
"Ah~ last night would have been the most wonderful and rememberable one I ever had," Samantha said as she cruddled onto her white-haired lover.
"Most rememberable? Wow, I must be on the top of the list then," Michael joked, getting a light punch but did get the blonde to giggle a bit.
"Yes, at the top and only one really. Most men usually try to use my name and money for their gain," Samantha explained.
"Ouch," Michael can only say on that.
"Glad to see you are different," Samantha pointed out.
"I am glad about that," Michael agreed to that.
"I would be having your number on speed dial, as I have a feeling some more cases would come on your table after your first defense case. And we could have a little time for ourselves," Samantha said.
"A few yes, which I might have work tonight," Michael said while going on patrol to do some bird hunting and capturing that penguin man from the court, knowing he was behind the robberies.
"Busy night, huh?" Samantha guessed.
"Yeah...it would be for the next couple of days," Michael agreed, knowing a double life can be overwhelming and crime doesn't rest.
"I understand. I have a feeling that my board of directors of my family's company would be hounding me of what happened to the case and night we had together," Samantha said with a sigh, kind of wishing not to deal with those damn vultures and show them a true bird of prey can do onto them but had to keep herself remain calm and standby for the time being.
"Vultures huh?" Michael stated, knowing that some bussiness people can be greedy and want more within companies owned by the elites and corrupted. And he could tell that Samantha was different, an idealist that wants to change Gotham for the better.
"Though, I think we talk about business on our side for another time. Don't you agree?" Samantha asked, as her hands on her lover's chest were moving down quite a bit.
"Yes, I can agree," Michael said, knowing the hidden meaning his blonde lover was mentioning.
"Then, we should get ready, it's a busy day ahead of us and a shower is needed. Or you prefer something else instead~?" Samantha asked, seductive while barely covering herself with the covers and making her way towards the showers with an extra sway of her hips.
"I think I could take both," Michael replied, following behind the blonde who smirked and pair enjoyed some washing up in the bathroom that his lover invited him to join in.
Their wash could become more heated than the actual water and dirty for more clean up than they originally went in the first place.

Clock Tower Apartment
When Michael got back home, he was first met with silence, complet silence, and saw his two friends watching him carefully. He just left Samantha's penthouse about an hour ago after their 'heated' shower they had together and you know. Now he was home and meet with complet silence from Francine and Rocky, making him feel a bit uneasy and wonder what was up with them all of a sudden.
"How was your date with the elite and rich?" Rocky asked, crossing her arms and clearly upset it seems.
"Hmm," Michael didn't reply and raised an eyebrow in question, going over the logical reasons why the two are so upset.
"I bet it was wonderful and going to a penthouse," Francine hissed with venom, drinking some red drink, not blood mind you.
"Okay, I see where's is going," Michael thought, clearly seeing why the pair was so upset and his little she-bat friend must have seen what was going on.
"So...you both are jealous of what happened last night and my date ended up with Samantha," Michael stated, watching the reaction to be upset and Francine crushing the said glass in her hands in anger.
Michael was right on that and had a guess that Francine must have seen it. He sighed and went over to get a napkin to help clean the wounds on the black-haired beauty, which wasn't needed due to her healing factor.
"Rocky...that bad?" Michael asked.
"Oh yes, that bad. I had to give her some of the blood to keep from, what's she say? Or that's right! From removing the blonde's bitch eyes, I remember now," Rocky replied, remembering what their vampiric friend said when she came here last night.
"Okay...granted I know this would mean not much, but how about I have you, Francine?" Michael offered, causing the vampire's eyes to flash from anger to surprise and a hidden joy in them.
"Really?" Francine asked in surprise and joy while keeping herself together.
"Yes, more patrols with me. And Rocky, I can make that special dinner if you want?" Michael offered.
"Make top class and dessert along with some joy rides, then you got a deal," Rocky said, going to use any chance she gets to make Michael make it up to her and other things, not going to be super jealous like Francine was.
Francine was going to use every opportunity to come between Michael and Samantha. And finally, get her mate alone with her. She smirked to herself and nearly showed her fangs to some hidden desires rising up, noticed by Rocky and making her nervous.
"Oh boy...I feel very sorry for Michael now. If the elite bird doesn't get him, then the she-bat would mess him up. Hmm, I should be ready in the case of long and loud nights. I better get some more music and good earmuffs," Rocky thought, making a note of that.
"While that's a side, I have a pretty good choice on who's our bird tamer and robber," Michael said, getting the two's attention.
"Who?" Rocky asked.
"Oswald Cobblepot...from the Cobblepot Family," Michael replied.
"The very same Cobblepot family that was put down in shame due to the Waynes and exposed those rotten birds for who they are to everyone. And later get the cage?" Rocky questioned.
"The very same. However, they had to move to England to avoid the shame of what the Wayne Family did and later left England after their own riches were being taken, shallow up quite a lot when their bank accounts crashed," Michael explained, after going over some history of the Cobblepots when on the court from yesterday.
"So Oswald holds a grudge, then should we protect the Wayne Family?" Francine suggested.
"I don't think so. Cobblepot hasn't attacked the Wayne Family yet and most likely is building or rebuilding the empire his family used to have. If going to war with one of Gotham's top elites or all of them later, then that little bird needs more than just birds. He sends support, founding, and an army of men," Michael stated.
"Hmm, if he does that. Then he's going to need a place to hold up, store all of his treasures, and gained his army later," Rocky said, rubbing her chin in thought on that information and seeing the logical answers on storing an armory.
To get all of that stuff, one needs a lot of money and those items that were stolen would make a great source of funding for the bird. But where was he making his nest? That's a good question.
"But where? Where would Cobblepot hold up?" Francine asked, knowing someone has to hold up somewhere to hide the treasure they have gained.
"I wasn't able to gain more information on that during the trial. He sing quite a bit and was easy to figure out he was trying to set up one of the elites to be thrown to the vultures, allowing him to swipe in but that plan has changed because of me. Now he most likely is in hiding in his nest but I plan on removing that nest very soon," Michael informed, knowing what he was going to do tonight, trap a bird.
"Want me to check any known places that used to belong to Cobblepot or are currently owned?" Rocky asked, seeing she was going to be needed at the coms and main computer.
"Yes but also do a wider system check. Check for any boats that are missing and never returned. If Cobblepot is not using his family's former manor or places, then he would most likely spend time close to the water on a boat. For a quick escape if the police catch up to him," Michael replied.
"Got it," Rocky said, knowing that tonight might be a long night for them but work is work.
"And what should I do?" Francine asked, wanting to help her future mate as much as she can.
"I want you to do some patrols around the east side of Gotham, I would check the west for any one of Cobblepot's men. One of them would sing of the location of their boss is at," Michael said, having the plan to split up and cover more ground to be the best plan.
Tonight the Bats have some bird-watching and capturing a big bird to do.
Time Skip
West Area of Gotham, we can see the Bat patrolling in the night and looking for any mobsters that work for Cobblepot. He was also using his radio scanner in his cowl to listen to those groups of people as someone would speak. Not much, only a few notes on the crime families and something to keep a note of down the line.
Batman narrowed his eyes and kept scanning for more people down below. He had been doing this for a couple of hours now and had little luck on this. Time for him to check up on the others.
"Rocky, you copy?" Batman asked, having his com-line speak on the home channel.
"I copy, Bats. No luck on my end, it seems that Cobblepot is hiding pretty well and would have to be in one of the harbors of Gotham. He's not hiding anything his family owned or used from the owner. Cobblepot manor was destroyed a year ago due to a fire and later the land was cleaned up which is up for sale," Rocky informed.
"Not interested in land that once belong to some vultures," Batman said, not looking for some land and a second place for another base of operations when his home is just fine.
"True but I was able to do some digging and got some information you might want to hear," Rocky said, now getting to the good news.
"Go on," Batman said, interested.
"It seems the Cobblepots are very interested in the birds and have a deep shady background it seems, much more further in their time in Gotham and so on. There was a rumor that they were cursed and that when one of their own is born as a bird, bad luck would come to the whole family. And that curse came to light when Oswald Cobblepot was born, having a rare disability it seems," Rocky informed.
"I remember. At the courthouse, many were calling Cobblepot the Penguin for his bird-like nose and three fingers. I have seen it to beleive it," Batman said, recalling back Samantha's trial at the courthouse and Cobblepot's appearance clear as day.
"Ouch, hard to grow up like that with your only family hating everyone else during childhood," Rocky winced, feeling a little pity for the guy.
"Indeed. Children can be cruel," Batman said.
"So can adults but you already know that," Rocky added.
"Indeed. Patch me Vampirella," Batman commanded.
"I still can't beleive you both talk me into taking that name," Francine or now known as Vampirella said, her new alias being way better than She-Bat or Female Bat.
"It's better than She-Bat," Rocky pointed out.
"True but I got something after questioning some men that belong to Penguin Gang," Vampirella informed.
"Cobblepot," Batman said, now seeing a trail to follow now.
"Yes, which I discovered after overhearing some thugs calling their boss by his last name much to his annoyance. But anyways, I discovered that they are heading to the cruise liner called Olivia B. Meredith, which once belonged to a group of Somali Pirates. It was renamed as The Final Offer and used for a large number of legal loopholes on selling weapons illegal on US soil but legal on-board until otherwise. And a lot of other things go on as well," Vampirella explained the information she had gathered.
"Good...got a location of the harbor that this cruiser ship makes port?" Batman asked.
"No luck on my end on that," Vampirella replied.
"Hold on, I may have something...let's here," Rocky said, typing on her end and gathering up the information to find the said ship that was docked, narrowing it down to one source it could be located.
"It would have to be a harbor that is mostly being supported by a corrupted cop, unlisted and perfectly hiding," Batman said, adding some information that Rocky typed away.
"Got limited down...," Rocky said, still searching now.
"Maybe harbors for shipments?" Vampirella suggestioed.
"No, not enough cover for Penguin. Hmm somewhere in the open and good coverup, try local harbors or docks hosting a ship that has gambling involved," Batman said, seeing a more best way for cover and a logical answer to that.
"Hiding in plain sight, gotcha. Here we are! I found the bird, he's actually at West Dock, in your area Bats," Rocky informed, there's an irony in that.
"Got it," Batman said, starting to make his way towards the docks jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and using his grapple hooks for help while his cape for the gliding as well.
"I make my way towards your location," Vampirella said, going to make her way to help her future mate.
"Would take awhile but I clear a path for you to join me," Batman said, knowing that it would take ways for Francine to help on at the docks and into the ship but would clear a path for her.
The Dark Knight wasn't going to use the Batmobile, too loud, and would get a lot of attention onto him from the Penguin & his men. This case needs more stealth and an element of surprise to capture this bird by surprise. Time to capture a bird and bring him to his new home in a cage.
Unknown to the Bat, he was going to face more challenges ahead of him.
Time Skip
Final Offer
Took some time, but Batman was able to get into the ship after knocking the sniper guards from outside the ship and taking their keycards to enter the said place. He also took one of their cellphones and hack into Penguin's channel, hearing the orders and talks going on. He can now better plan his tactics ahead by knowing the enemy's move before it was even being made and hearing the bird sing on a good note.
"The Final Offer is pretty much like Penguin's calling card and matches his style. He wants not a dime to change hands in this city but not on watch and I plan on removing that bird from his branch very soon. This city has enough crime lords and I don't need a new one rising up against the current old ones," Batman thought, knowing what Penguin could do if he becomes a crime lord and can be dangerous, untouchable but not on his watch.
Batman was able to get some information from one of the guards, it seems a fighting club was going down and Penguin might be there to watch it from himself. It could be a trap but the Bat was heading for it to spring it and captured the flightless bird before he flies away.
Batman also heard cheers going on and was heading in the right direction. He then heard a buzz in his right ear and someone wanted to talk to him.
"Go ahead," Batman said, pushing the button on his cowl side and getting a response.
"It's me. Rocky and I got some information gather up, evidence of all his crimes we gained and you have as well," Vampirella informed.
"How did you come across more?" Batman asked.
"Let's just say, not many of Penguin's boys are a hard case. And they did sing for me~," Vampirella happily said in a sing-song voice and some screams of pain were heard in the background.
"I see...once that information and tips go to GCPD, a quick exited would be needed," Batman said, knowing that some officers might use this to capture him or not, anything can happen.
"I am head of you. I would be heading home to pick up the car and drive to the west dock for a quick pickup," Vampirella said, knowing that her mate needs a workout and loves to see him all work up but she worries about him and would do her best to hurry up.
"Understood, drive safe," Batman said with a rare voice of concern for his friend.
"I will, you stay safe as well," Vampirella said, voicing her strong concern for her friend/future mate and the pair ended their call.
Batman saw he was getting closer to the fight club room, which was a theater and had a big open arena. He had a feeling this was a setup and Penguin was waiting for him. Just a mile ahead it seems.
"Okay, think it through. This is a trap that Penguin has in motion against me. He knows that an unwanted guest is here and wants to make it a big entertainment fight to enjoy but he doesn't know who comes out that door and into the arena. I can't simply use stealth when I enter that door but different tactics are needed and Penguin is not going to swim into open water to escape. Not this time," Batman thought, going over a good plan of attack and defending as he knows that Penguin is a bird with style and tricky one if planning the smart game.
Anything can happen but the Bat has to be ready to face them very soon.
Fight Arena
The Dark Knight entered the arena, seeing it was a big theater changed into a fight club and many men from Penguin's gang were there. All of them were surprised to see the Bat, not believing it but now they believed it with their own eyes. Many of them were scared and didn't speak a word, becoming quiet and would get attention to who was in charge of the fight club tonight.
In fact, actually, two were in charge of tonight's fight club as the boss step out for some business and fed his bird pets. The first was a very attractive black woman who had black hair in a ponytail and brown eyes. She also had black glasses and red lipstick on her kissable lips. She wore a black pinstriped dress with a white belt, a bracelet on each arm, a gold necklace, and black heels.
The second was a very attractive woman who had a curvaceous appearance that was enhanced by her white cocktail dress. She was Caucasian with short blonde hair and brown eyes while having two bracelets and a necklace that hunged over her bust. She had her cocktail dress but also had fishnet stockings and heels.
They are Candy and Tracey, who are both workers of the Penguin and often times speak for the bird himself when he's not around like now.
Both Candy and Tracey were shocked and surprised to see that the tales of Batman were true. He was real! And standing right in front of them, well down below in the arena, but you get the idea. They were also curious about the bat as well, seeing how that suit was hugging his muscle and stood out like a dark figure as well. Huh, this would be interesting.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Tracey asked, walking to the rails and getting a better view of the said bat.
"A flying rat on the ship?" Candy questioned in a teasing tone.
"Bats are not rats, ladies. I am here for the Penguin. Where is he?" Batman demanded with his red eyes narrowed and sounding serious.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, not a good idea to make demands when on Cobblepot's ship," Candy pointed out while having the members of the crew shout in agreement.
"You see, there's a big rule around here. To get a meeting with Mr. Cobblepot, you have to earn it and beat the best fighter of tonight. A gator like you should get a good welcome, don't you think?" Tracey asked with a wink towards the bat.
Batman didn't answer and had this feeling that a big fight would happen. And this very scene & setting is very familiar to him, he just knows. Oh, yeah, one of the Arkham Games, and can explain how those two ladies look very familiar as well.
Then the Dark Knight saw a figure coming down from the catwalks and showed by a spotlight, being the top fighter. He was a tall fighter, something of a gangster or mobster street fighter. He had short dark brown hair, a buzz cut like an Army style, and brown eyes but the left side of his face was greatly scared by burn marks. Battle scars from his time on the streets it seems.
His attire was armored and leather biker style it seems. He had a top jacket that looked heavy and had an armored chest pad while having this red mark on his chest to his arms, black army pants, armored boots, and lastly armored gloves which seem to have electric cords on them.
This was Lester Buchinsky or better known as Electrocutioner, the muscle of Penguin's Gang.
"Working for that little man for nearly two months is becoming much more worth it now, Bat-Man," Electrocutioner said with a battle-lust smirk forming up.
Then Electrocutioner jumped off from the upper catwalk and down the main one, causing some sparks of electricity to spark up from his shock gloves.
"I'll kill you! Then I would jump-start your heart! And kill you again!" Electrocutioner shouted, placing his hands on the rails and showing his shock gloves giving out a powerful volt of electricity outwards.
Batman kept his calm and wasn't sure if this version of Electrocutioner was all bark & no bite. His first meeting with Joker proves that not everything is as it seems and can be different in his case. Anything can happen and the bat has to be careful about that.
The mercenary then jumped off from the top deck and down into the fighting pit to battle against the bat, to make him famous as the man that kill the bat. The electricity from the impact he landed, caused some minor mess with the Bat's equipment but not much.
"ARE YOU READY!?" Electrocutioner shouted, getting the gang to roar in the excitement in response.
Batman got himself into a fighting position and Electrocutinoer cracked his neck while his shock gloves were powering up in high voltage now.
"Think of me as a shocking experience!" Eletcrouctiner laughed before slamming both of his hands onto the metal floor by his feet, channeling a powerful electricity voltage towards the bat.
Batman's eyes widen and launched a grappling hook out of his right gauntlet, pulling himself up to escape the electric trap and soon came back down to the ground once the floor calms down. He then drove to Eletcructiner, using his cape for speed drive, and kicked his chest, sending him to trip back a bit and coughing from the chest pain.
Electrocutinoer glared at the bat and started charging at him, sending wild punches toward with each punch charged up for a shocking one.
Batman was to dodge the punches filled with electricity and later send his own punches back to the mercenary to his face or chest. He was able to get a good read from this mercenary, more than just a street thug but had one problem. Annoyance and the bat were going to use that against him.
Electrocutinoer then grabbed the bat by his arm, sending a powerful volt of electricity toward him and causing painful grunts to escape from him. He smirked and placed his other hand on the chest, soon both of them - sending more voltages towards Batman. The cheers of Penguin's men were roaring throughout the fighting pit and victory was near but not so as they think.
Batman blocked off the pain and soon launched a powerful headbutt, having helmet/cowl hitting Electrocutinoer square in the face and causing him to groan painfully as his nose got broken into two. And he was busted open from the forehead, having blood escaping his head down to his face.
The mercenary was sent back a bit, freeing the bat from his shocking grasp, and was soon meant with a hailstorm of punches to the face to later the gut, causing more pain and bones breaking. He gasped for air and tried to open his worn-out eyes, only to see a shadowy figure walking towards him. He shook his head and whipped the blood off, glaring heavily at the rat in front of him.
"Get your ass in here! Time to earn your weight around you! Get down here you bitches!" Electrocutioner ordered, having several of Penguin's men jump off the rails and help the mercenary of killing the bat.
Batman reached for his belt and slammed serval of smoke pellets onto the floor, unleashing a massive cloud of smoke & caused confusion among the thugs that followed the bird. Time to use stealth tactics and fear one as well.
Electrocutioner, at first thought he had the upper hand with the numbers but became confused and only heard many men being got off guard, slammed onto the ground hard, bones being broken, some gunfire, and screams of terror. He felt nameless fear in his heart and caused to act out of panic, picking up a crowbar and using it as an electrified mace to fight the Bat.
The mercenary wanders in the cloud of smoke and swung his electrified mace in different directions to hit the damn bat. Once the smoke clears up, his eyes widen in surprise and disbelief, seeing all of Penguin's men beaten in a bloody mess with broken bones and cuffed in such a quick manner. He also failed to noicted who was behind him until the last second.
Electrocutinoer tried to stab the crowbar into who was behind him but Batman jumped and launched a powerful kick into the face of the mercenary, sending him flying backward and hitting the wall hard which caused him to go out cloud.
The remaining of the Penguin's men, Candy, and Tracey were surprised by this, not expecting this, and was impossible.
"T-t-this is impossible!" Tracey shouted in disbelief, seeing the most top men beaten like they were nothing and Electrocutinoer was beaten into a bloody mess.
"This is a mess!" Candy shouted, equal in disbelief like her friend.
The remaining Penguin's men were become scared and started to leave, not wanting to suffer the same fate from the Dark Knight either.
Before either of them could shout at the cowards, someone spoke and cut their attention like a blade towards them.
"Remain calm...I would make sure he doesn't get up next time," A female voice said, stepping out of the shadows to reveal herself and the real final battle was about to begin.
Down below, we can see Batman starting to remove the shock gloves from Electrocutinoer as he saw to be useful and can become handy in the future. Who knows? He does need to add to his arsenal of gadgets as well and has a feeling Rocky might like to look at these bad boys.
"Who else wants to me where the Penguin is?!" Batman shouted, his voice echoing throughout the whole pit arena.
"The fight is not over, Batman," A new voice, being female got the Bat's attention to see who just jumped onto the ground to face.
A young woman, looking to be around 18 years old, with short, midnight black hair that barely reached her shoulders, with deep sky blue eyes and a paler skin tone, showing her Asiatic heritage, her body was slim and yet pretty well shaped, showing that she trained herself to be a quick and decisive warrior.
Her attire was formed from a pair of black, very tight leather pants, which showed the forms of her well-shaped hips even more than normal with a pair of katanas attached to her hip. Her pretty developed chest was covered by pure white bandages, while a short leather black jacket with golden lotus flowers on it could be seen covering her, a dark red sash being seen tied around both of her shoulders, along with a lair of leather fingerless gloves on her hands.
Finally, she wore a porcelain mask that covered her face with the exception of her mouth, leaving her soft lips to be seen by the world, the mask itself is pure white with a single large red sphere on her forehead, resembling a red sun, or rather the flag of Japan, with a single slash being seen over the mask's left eye socket.
This was Tatsu Yamashiro, better known as Katana, one of the world's best assassins and swordswomen in the world.
Batman was a bit surprised by that and saw Katana was clearly close to his age, while a beautiful yet deadly woman standing before him. He then felt this sudden rush of danger which caused him to nearly dodged a quick attack from the katana swords. It was aiming at the vital points in his body and later used his claw fingers to gauntlets to block the next strikes coming at him. He broke the strikes from the katana sword users and tried to swing his claws at her but she just double back to get spacing between them and both started to circle each other.
"Hmm, she has knowledge of the human body. I have to be careful," Batman thought, seeing the real danger in front of him now and might have to end this fight quickly but didn't get a chance to strike first as Katana rushed in towards him at a quick speed.
Katana had drawn out both katana swords now and used them in two motion that was very quick. Batman had struck against her with aggressive punches, arm blades, and claws but Katana was able to dodge them with such ease. Like water and sliding under the stones.
Batman grunted a bit, getting some cuts on his sides, shoulders, and legs while not one of his attacks hit Katana at all. He was surprised by that and never had encountered such a fighter like her. He needs to change his strategy and might have an edge if he goes to the high ground.
However and before the Dark Knight can use his left gauntlet grappling hook, Katana combined her katana sword together into a double-bladed one and swings very quickly. She cut the grapple line of the Bat, grounding him as she would lose if the bat fires it and gets the high ground.
"No one cuts my lines like that!" Batman thought in total shock, his eyes widen in surprise, and could tell that those katana swords are not normal.
Katana kept her eyes locked on the Bat, knowing the best way was to keep him grounded and down to her level. She knows that this opponent might have more up his sleeves and wasn't sure yet but would find out. She was going to strike next, seeing the bat had his guard down.
Katana rushed and spun her double-bladed weapon, leaving more small cuts on the bat's vital areas and his chest was bit more blood coming. Batman tried to strick but his moment was becoming slower due to the cuts and motion fiction as well. He was losing blood, bit by bit, and the more he fights, the more that comes. His chest area was becoming red to deeper shades and stained his armor as well. He pained and almost fell onto his right knee a bit.
Seeing this, Kanata used the Bat's knee as leverage, she then backflipped and send a kick to uppercut his jaw. He was backed and was off balance by that kick, feeling his jaw sore by that powerful kick. She then elegantly landed five feet away from her opponent and had great agility as well. She then switched her blades back to duel like before and rushed at the bat again, this time to stab him in his shoulder. And she made a big mistake.
Batman flexed his claws out and swung in quick motion at the same time Katana struck at him. He left painful claw marks on the katana sword user and caused her to hiss in deep pain. She had claw marks on her shoulders, stomach, and right knee. The Bat grunted as the stab wound was mainly a deep wound that cut into his left shoulder and almost broke through the cape. He used pride against his foe and both are wounded from this fight, a big draw between them.
Katana was painting and doing her best to regain the weapons she dropped from the surprise attacks from the bat. She saw a great and honorable warrior in front of her, most don't wound her like that. Not many can and this one left an interesting impression on her.
Batman saw a number of things he has to improve now. His suit, armor, ways of fighting, and know-how shock gloves work as well. More danger would come and even deadly ones would as well. Question is, would this fight keep going?
"You were an honorable opponent...but this isn't over and next time, I shall be the one to clip your wings," Katana said before throwing a flash and smoke bomb in front of her, disappearing before the Bat's sight and surprised him of quick she was to escape with wounds like that.
"Indeed...this isn't over," Batman said in a low voice, having a feeling that this won't be the last time he meets this sword user.
The Dark Knight looked up and saw that Penguin's men along with the two ladies from early have left. Must have escaped during the fighting and Penguin might get away. That thought was pushed away when the sound of sirens could be heard and GCPD was here. The bird would be caged very soon and the bat needs to escape.
"Vampirella...I need to pick up," Batman managed to say through his worn-out voice and covered the major wounds on his chest & shoulder, stop the bleedy.
"Right away, hold on!" Vampirella said, speeding up on her end and could tell from the sound of her mate's voice, he needs medical attention and fast.
The Dark Knight has a lot of work ahead of him and more dangers were rising now against him. A shadow was rising toward him.
