Me: I the author don't own anything except the character of the Emperor, and all things related. If you find anything that's yours, please note it's probably and Easter egg or I didn't know about. Please don't sue me just send a pm so I can make the proper edits. I am building up my character before I bring in the rest of the young justice characters.
In the bridge of the Karma which was shifted out of faze and placed inside the moon, #1, and #3 continued to discuss the situation. "Alright, looks like all we lost was some historical files, an advanced land rover, and the secret recipe to the BBQ sauce. God dammit, that was only copy." #3 was focused on monitoring the vitals of both the emperor and Lexie. "The model of the land rover is out dated, I would hardly call it advanced. But the emperor will be pissed off about the sauce, maybe we leave that out. The historical files are another matter, we need to figure out what kind of files they are. Both sets of vitals are improving, since you asked."
#2 couldn't stand the waiting anymore, "You stay concerned about them, I am taking the stealth armor down and getting those files back." #3 spoke before the download began. "Don't, we are needed here in case he wakes up. Besides look at his heart rate, it's beating more steadily…now it's past 100. Okay he is waking up." The emperor waited for the medical shield to drop before for rolling out and looking around. "Oh, man how many hours was I out for?" #1 was digging through the files and left #2 and #3 to help him.
#3 addressed emperor while #2 downloaded back to the main computers, from the cryo pod. "Sir you have been out for over a year. The repairs took much longer than expected since your body temperature was -44 degrees. Also, here's some food." #2 had completed the scans and noticed that some problems still existed. "I have unwelcome news sir, it appears your new nanites still require enormous amounts of iron. You basically need to have at least 5 pounds of meat every 12 hours. Otherwise everything looks to be great, the implants seems to have accepted the new nanites, and all damage to your body has been healed."
"That's great, wonderful job everyone, so who wants to tell me exactly how long I was out?" #1 wasn't really paying attention and just blurted out the answer "1 year 5 months 21 days 2 hours and 9 minutes. Son of a bitch how did we lose that secret ingredient file out of all the things Batman could have taken… oh I'm sorry emperor what are we talking about?"
The emperor was surprised how long it took to get out to get healed, but really wanted to know what #1 meant by lost files because of Batman, "#1 what the hell are talking about, no one even knows we are here. Oh shit, #2 did I drop and leave an unlocked tablet that was connected to the horde database when I went to go visit Mr. Wayne? No don't answer that, I remember now. I fucked up, alright well time to go back and visit him. #1 download into the stealth armor, #2 download into the speed armor. Going in prepared for all situations this time."
The trip on the way down to the planet surface was painless, it was the talk he was going to have with Batman that bothered him. Wasn't sure how it was going to play out, will it go peacefully, or will a fight happen. Either way he was prepared. "#2 cloak yourself and standby, enter though a top floor window and attempt to not make any noise." #2 slowed and cloaked before going on top of the roof, waiting for the speed armor to enter. Before the door could be knocked on, it flung open. A grappling line grabbed hold of the speed armor and flung it forward before being met with an electronic smoke screen. 1.9 seconds, that was all it took to take out one of the best armors in the emperor's arsenal.
#2 was in disbelief "Did that actually just happened. How, sensors aren't picking up any heat signatures." "Calm down #2, guess we know one of the missing files now. Speed armor is rebooting, time for plan b." The stealth armor quietly moved in, over hearing Batman himself and that strange man who still held that shotgun. "Those files held great technology, the encryption took over a year to crack on them but it was worth it." The stealth armor quietly hovered inside cloaked, "I must admit I'm surprised you were even able to break it, also I come in peace. Sorry about what happened last time, but since you have access to some of my tech I won't lie I don't trust you."
Batman's face became even tighter. "Don't talk about trust, not to me. You come to Bruce Wayne's home and ask him for his leading edge nanite technology, broke his door, stole files from his office, almost destroyed most of the stairwell at the Wayne building, and took some of his nanite technology. You want trust, go to hell." "Okay that's fair, and you stole from me in turn. You got a lot of files from me, and I swear I'm doing my very best to remain calm but I would love to know what you took, and I was given those nanites."
"I got a lot of technology blue prints, and a new way to make BBQ sauce." Batman was scanning the room, and found the cloaked armor. "Okay Batman look your files haven't been open I have been sleeping for almost a year and a half. I would like to resolve this in peace, but…oh crap." #2 realized she had been spotted, so she dropped the cloak and charged, with the speed armor done rebooting it made a quick teleport out of the room. "Thank you #2 for mimicking my voice. #1 let me out and help her, I will find the cave." The speed armor opened and let him out, closed and moved back in to fight. "So where is the bat cave, I mean I'm assuming it's a cave, guy dress's up like a bat to fight crime." The emperor looked around and noticed he was dropped off in the kitchen, "Need to find out where, might as well take the snack bowl with me."
Meanwhile back at the fight #2 was still mimicking the emperors voice "I just wanted to talk this out, but since you swung first today you're going down." The fight raged on, but this would last. Another electric smoke pellet quickly disabled the stealth armor, leaving the speed armor left to stand once again on its own. "So, who are you that armor?" batman spoke plainly. The speed armor came around with a sucker punch before Batman could make a move. "We don't know who you are but you're not taking anything from us ever again!"
The fight went on, as did the search, but upstairs on the top floor was a battle of words. "Come on Alfred, we have to go downstairs and do something." Alfred cocked an eye brow at the new boy and repeated what he said before. "We are not leaving this room until it is clear down stairs, and due to the amount of noise and breaking of objects I would say that it isn't done yet." The new boy groaned quickly pacing back and forth, "Shouldn't we at least call commissioner Gordon, or somebody?" Alfred sighed "Young sir we don't need the police, we have batman."
The emperor continued to search the large house and came upon a small study room. After a quick look, around he noticed a small bust of man's head, and a bright red book that stuck out against the blue and burgundy ones. "If it's one of these then batman is a man of clichés." Both proved to be incorrect so the search continued. Down the hallway he went knocking on the walls looking for a something, a hollow point, a secret button, but nothing happened until he walked past a tall but old looking clock. He knocked on the left side to no avail, but the right side sounded different. It sounded so…hollow "Ladies and gentlemen, do we have a winner?"
#1 was doing more than enough to hold his own against batman, and #2 was almost done rebooting. "Well batman, is this it? Once I finish up here I should go find the joker, ask him why he has had so much difficulty doing this." Batman noticed the speed armor distracted and took advantage of the opportunity. Firing a grappling line at its chest and another one to a distant wall. "Wait Batman what is this supposed to do to me, confuse meeeeee" This sent the speed armor flying through the house. Without the ability to hold still for a second teleporting wasn't an option. "Son of argh, of a *back of helmet smashing against granite* a bit" and finally crashing through a wall, rolling on some grass, and sliding into a pool. "Error, making auto repairs to the visual systems, estimated time 5 minutes."
Batman stood up, looking down at where the stealth armor was, "Damn." A device beeped signaling that bat cave security systems had been compromised. "Alfred the cave was just breached, I'm heading down now. Whatever you do, don't let the boy downstairs." Alfred looked at the boy and almost chuckled at that, the boy had already tired himself out with his pacing and fell asleep. "Oh of course master Bruce I just live to serve." "Just do it Alfred."
Batman went running through his halls, checking the study. "The bust is still face down, by the look of the crumbs he went bust first then book, the opposite order in which would open this bat cave entrance." Continuing down the hall making only to see the grandfather clock on the ground. Batman was moving as fast as he could to try and stop whoever was down there, but he was too late. "Well would you look at that, you not only modified the land rover blueprint, you made it into a sports car/tank. Wonder what else you did, and what is that smell…is that you batman?"
The Emperor turned around to see that no one was there, "#1 #2 come in…guys are you there? Must not be getting any signal." Batman had jumped up and maneuvered his way on the cave ceiling to position himself above his bat computer. "Alright well even though I like the changes, you need do something with this internal cooling system, or else this will over heat and explode. Just put some energy here, replace this with a modified version." As Batman hung from the ceiling he was surprised that the person leading the attack was not only making improvements to the design, but looked to be a teenager. "Okay now that it's all fixed, time to take back the rest of my files."
Batman wasn't done looking over all the files, but wasn't sure if he should attack or talk now. He moved himself slightly which unfortunately caused some small debris to fall from the cave ceiling and onto the emperor's head. "*sigh* this is why no sane person does work in a cave. I'm sure that" the emperor looked and panicked at the sight of batman falling from the ceiling. Quickly jumping out of the way before being hit, he avoided what would have been a knockout blow.
"Hey bats, can I call you bats, look I just want my files back." Slowly pacing backwards, the emperor was almost terrified. How a single man with no powers took on two A.I. in advanced combat suits and won was beyond him, but it was obvious that the battle had left him exhausted. "Look I got what I wanted so if you don't mind I would like to go." Attempting to notify the speed armor all he got in return was a notification of a countdown, 11 seconds. "I viewed your files, got a good history lesson. Tell me, how have you enjoyed your adjustment from one universe to the next?"
The Emperor was shocked, he must have viewed more of the files than he thought. 8 seconds. "I'm impressed you broke the encryption, although you did have more than enough time. Keep your new tank car, consider it a gift." 3 seconds. "I will, and you can keep yourself company in Arkham." 1/2 second. "Not today, sorry Batman."
System repair and reboot complete, speed armor online. Scanning for stealth armor, complete repairs done in 10 seconds. Scanning for Emperor, complete, going for extract. As Batman came close to grabbing distance he found himself shoved hard into his main computer. "Well I would love to stay and chat, but to be honest I don't have anything more to say other than I am not a villain. Keep the new car blueprints and the history of the horde." With those last words he was gone, as batman was left standing there not sure what to make of the last 7 minutes.
