Chapter XXXIII: Son Of Batman.
Last Time.
"That's not a lie. That will always be there. She'll always be one of us, no matter what judgments you make." Later, Shayera walked in as the other stood in front of her. "Before you say anything..." Shayera started before anyone could talk. "I came to this Planet as a Patriot. I had a mission, and I carried it out."
"But I couldn't see how much I would come to care for Earth, her people, and each of you. I've spent the last five years torn between my feelings, and my duty. I won't ask you to do the same... That's why I'm resigning as a member of the League." She finished walking out after Flash hugged her. Naruto disappeared as the others were talking about the fate of the League.
Outside, Naruto saw Shayera look at the sunset, and ocean. "Where are you going now?" She sighed before answering. "I don't know... Somewhere where the fate of the World isn't on my shoulders. No more secrets, or lies." Naruto looked at the ocean before speaking. "Was everything a lie?"
"No, Naruto... I never lied about loving you." She replied walking to him, and kissed him. When she pulled back, Naruto pulled her in for another kiss before she flew away. "I love you too." Naruto said before hearing Anko behind him. "We should go back home... See if Tsunade can fix your arm. If not, she's been working on her grandfather's cells after Madara was able to help Obito survive losing the entire left side of his body."
Naruto walked to her, and kissed her before wrapping his arm around her waist, and walked back inside.
Now.
Konoha Hospital Operating Room; Early Morning.
"Damn it, Gaki! (Brat) Quit squirming!" Tsunade said as she put her hands on his now fixed arm with a scar around where his cut was. Her hands glowed green as Naruto deadpanned at her. "You'd squirm too if the person working on your severed arm can barely see." Her eyebrow twitched at that before speaking. "Good thing grandfather's cells worked on the attachment. You'll just have this scar from here on."
Outside, Naruto's girls, including Mei, sat in the waiting room before hearing Naruto shout. "Come on Ba-chan! (Grandmother.) I know you're slow in your old age but you ca-!"
Clang!
They winced as they heard something hit metal. "Itai (Ouch)! What the hell Ba-chan (Grandmother)?! I'm an injured person!" Naruto yelled as the door opened showing Tsunade, and Naruto with his reattached arm in a sling. "Well, next time you'll watch what you say to a person that's working on saving a limb... Or your life."
"Now don't strain your arm for a few days, and you'll be out of that sling. But for it to be fully healed leave it for a week, at least." Tsunade finished walking down the hall.
Later; Naruto's House.
Naruto walked in his room wearing only pajama pants, and up to his bed. Before he pulled the covers off, his girls walked in, wearing only robes. "Girls... Tsunade said I'm not to do anything that'll put stress on my arm." Naruto said as Diana approaches him. "Given that you lost an arm saving every living thing on Earth. I think that entitles you to a long relaxing night. Besides, she said not to put your arm under any stress."
She drops her robe, the other ladies following suit. "But your arm doesn't need to get involved." Kara said as she pushes Naruto onto the bed and starts removing his pants. "Just lie back and enjoy, Hero... Our hero."
A Few Weeks Later, Gotham Clock Tower; Dusk.
Kage dropped onto the large clock tower, and opened a small door. He dropped down inside, and saw a living quarters with several murphy beds by the wall. He walked to a bookcase and pulled a book back. Suddenly, everything lowered into the floor as the clocks face was covered in metal. A holo keyboard came up with several screens around it.
"I don't come into your house, and tell you how to run your office." Naruto looked back to see Darcy walking to him. "Sorry. Didn't think you'd be here yet. Deadshot was last sighted here in Gotham. Heard anything about that?" She shook her head before waking to the keyboard. "No... But I heard Nightwing say he saw Deadshot just outside of Blüdhaven."
"Ok keep me posted." Naruto said before jumping out of the ceiling, and came out on the roof. He looked out at the City from the rooftop before hearing a ring from his earpiece. An information box came up on his glasses with 'Barbara G.' in it. Pressing the button on his glasses, a small picture of Barbara came up beside a voice box. "Hey, honey. I thought you'd be studying."
"I am, I just heard from Tim that you'd be in town today." Naruto nodded as he looked down at the streets. "Yeah. I heard Dick's in town as well?" He asked before hearing Barbara's voice again. "Yeah, he's looking into a lead for a crime in Blüdhaven... Sonia's in Gotham also to help him out. You know their dating, right?"
"Yeah, I found out when we went on patrol last week. I guess my sexiness was too much for her to handle." He heard her sigh at that. "Yeah... So you coming to my house tonight?" He nodded before answering. "Yeah. I just got ahold of Batwoman earlier. She, and I are going after Deadshot... He shot a Politician the other night, and Darcy found out he's in Gotham."
"I'll talk to you later, beautiful. Maybe we can double date with Dick and Sonia." After hanging her up, he heard Batwoman on his earpiece. "Hey, partner. I just found another victim. I tracked the trajectory about a half a mile away. Sending you the coordinates now." Naruto nodded before diving off the roof, and slid down the wall.
He jumped off, and landed on another roof before jumping to where Batwoman is. After a few minutes, he dropped down in a generator surrounded by a chain-linked fence. Looking around, he saw Batwoman walk out of the shadows from the gate. "I found his casing, but I don't have the same scanner you do."
Naruto pressed the button, and scanned the bullet casing in her hand. He put a hand to his ear, and spoke. "Oracle. Take a look at the image we just uploaded to the computer." After a moment, Darcy replied. "Is this-?" Naruto interrupted her. "Yeah, it's Deadshot's. Check the Police scanner for any more."
Later, after patrolling the City, Batwoman turned to Naruto. "Why would Deadshot go after Politicians?" Naruto shrugged before crossing his arms. "Money, I guess." Suddenly, Darcy spoke up on their earpieces. "The computer just picked up a shot fired from a weapon using the same rounds as before. Sending you the coordinates now."
"Got it. Let's move, Kage." Batwoman shot her grappling gun up to a roof edge, shot herself up in the air, and land on her glider as Naruto jumped across the roofs. A few minutes later, they landed on a small bridge, and saw a man laying face down with a bullet wound in his chest. Naruto looked to see a hole in the barricade before scanning it.
"Deadshot's struck again." Naruto said through his earpiece before hearing Darcy. "I'll check to see if there's a connection to the victims." An orange line going from the hole, through a water tower, and up to a roof a mile away came up on his glasses. "I've got his trajectory... Let's go." They went up to the roof, and saw a tripod. "He's getting cocky."
Naruto said before scanning it. "He left a clue, rust like metal compound on the tripod. Wherever he's keeping it must be made of it... Oracle, scan the City, and look for anything with this compound. It has traces of lead used in paint for a short time twenty years ago." After a moment Darcy replied. "Roger. It'll take a while though."
After looking around the City, Darcy spoke up. "Found another shot from Deadshot's sniper. I've marked it for you." He nodded before they jumped, and flew to the spot. When they got there, they saw a group of people with weapons looking at a person with a bullet wound in his chest.
"Oh good. Some action." Naruto said dropping down and kicked one in the stomach having him go through a store window. One man grabbed Naruto from behind, and Naruto quickly elbowed him several times with both of his arms before grabbing his head, and dropped down to his knees before throwing him in the air.
Batwoman jumped over the man, grabbed his neck, and flipped him down, face first, onto the pavement. She punched another man before sweep kicking him, and knocked him out. She jumped at the last, and dropped kicked him over to Naruto who clotheslined him before hitting him while he was in the air, knocking him out.
They walked over towards the victim, and looked surprised. "It... Looks like he was hiding behind the car. How did Deadshot do it?" Batwoman asked as Naruto saw a hole in the pavement, and scanned it. "I think I've found the link that connects Deadshot's victims." They heard Darcy say through their earpieces.
"Good... He's killed again. We need to stop him." Naruto said before Darcy continued. "The first two worked for the same person. The first was a specialist in wireless broadcast. And the second was contracted for Military projects specializing in weapons delivery systems." Naruto nodded before speaking. "Deadshot must be cleaning up any loose ends for him. Good work, Darcy."
They followed the line, which ricocheted off a wall, and up to a roof. They dropped down, and saw Naruto reached down on an air vent. "This vent is warm. He must have made the shot here while lying down." Naruto said before Darcy spoke up. "I've found where that compound is still on a... Locker it looks like." After a moment, a image of a small locker on a roof came up five miles away.
"Let's go." Batwoman said flying off with Naruto following after her. When they got to the roof, Naruto walked to a locker, and ripped the door off showing several rifles, and a PDA. Picking it up, he broke it, and picked up a card before putting it in a thin, black holo computer strapped to his left arm. (Picture Hawkeye's from the movies.)
A holo screen popped up above his arm, and he saw a list of people come up with Snapper Carr, Bruce Wayne, Batman, and himself on it. "Shit, he's working on a schedule, and Snapper's next in three minutes!" They rushed to the other side of the City. As they got to Snapper, they saw him reporting on a story before pushing him down just as a shot went off.
Naruto looked up to see Deadshot jump to another roof before running up with Batwoman following. They jumped up on opposite side, and saw Deadshot standing on top of a grade before hiding behind cover. Naruto ran to another cover getting Deadshot to focus on him as Batwoman ran under the grates. She jumped out, and uppercuts him in the air as Naruto tackled him to the roof, and knocked him out.
"Well now. Good job, partner." Naruto said picking Deadshot up, and jumped down to the ground.
Mountains; Nanda Parbat.
A man in green, gold trimmed armor with a katana on his waist watched as a group of masked men, and women sparring against each other. He looked to his left, and saw a young boy with short black hair, green eyes, and wearing smaller version armor as his. And a woman with long brown hair, and wearing a full body suit unzipped showing a little cleavage, boots, and a combat belt.
"Here is your legacy, Damian. Here is your inheritance... The League of Assassins." The man said as the boy stepped forward. "Yes, grandfather." Damian replied before the man continued. "They will be yours to command one day. To make sure the Earth abides a natural contentment. Free of mankind's abuse."
An old man with long white hair, moustache, and a white version of the armor stopped by the woman. "It's good to see our father so devoted to his grandson, Talia." Talia nodded before smiling. "Yes it is, brother." Suddenly, she heard a thud, and looked to see her brother fall face first with blood covering his white cape. Ra's looked to see someone staring out of a hole in the paper door.
"We've been breached! Take the boy!" He yelled pulling his sword out as the doors fell showing masked men with guns, and swords on their backs. Talia took Damian, and slid down the tiled roof. Suddenly, attack helicopters came up in front of the Temple, and started firing into the crowd. Talia moved Damian to hide behind a support before running in to the crowd, and took a bow.
She shot at a helicopter and hit the pilot, forcing the chopper to crash. Talia dropped the bow, kicked one of the attacking men, and stole a gun to shoot another copter down. She jumped up to a roof of men, took a shotgun, and shot several men as she ran to a tower. She took a hand-cranked mini-gun, and started shooting the attackers.
Inside, Ra's al Ghul.
Ra's moved quietly through the hall, only to stop as three armed men dropped down behind him. He quickly turned around, and killed them before seeing a larger group of men in front of him. He jumped into a room deflecting the bullets with his sword before killing the men. "Hold your fire." Ra's looked to see Slade with a black and orange mask pulled up showing his grey hair and beard.
"Confused, old man?" Slade asked walking over. "Slade... What's the meaning of this outrage?!" Slade smiled before explaining. "A hostile takeover, years in the making." Ra's glared before speaking. "Your arrogance amazes me. And shames you." Slade chuckled before speaking. "You still have a spring in your step. Let's see how you do against a real swordsman."
Slade pulled two katanna's with hand guard from his back, and dashed at Ra's. Ra's blocked the attack before Slade spoke up. "How could you push me aside? I was your right hand!" Ra's glared before pushing him away. "Your actions spoke for you!" The men left as Ra's threw several slashes at Slade, who jumped back, and ran down the hall with Ra's following after.
BOOM!
Only for a ball of fire to engulf Ra's causing him to scream out in pain as Slade jumped outside. Ra's ran out, and fell several stories to the ground. Slade dropped down, and saw Ra's was still alive. "You've been alive for far too long old man. The Lazarus Pit won't save you this time." Slade said picking up his sword.
Only for Damian to kick him away, and picked up Ra's sword. Damian blocked an attack before being kicked into a wooden support, and broke it. "So you're Talia's little bastard? You're good for a boy." Slade said before running to Damian, who rolled out of the way before slicing another support having the hall above them fall on Slade.
As Slade came out, Damian stabbed him in his right eye. "Ahh!" Slade screamed. Slade dropped several smoke bombs, and escaped in a helicopter. "I'll make you pay for this, boy!" Slade yelled as he fled. Damian saw tall muscular man with several scars over his body, and frowned. "Ubu." He ran outside, and yelled up o the fleeing men. "Come back and fight, traitors!"
"Grandfather!" Talia ran after Damian, and followed him to a hidden stairway with a green glow. She ran down where she saw her dead father inches from a pool with green glowing water. "We need to get him in!" Damian yelled picking Ra's up, and started walking to the pool. "Damian, wait. He's dead... And the Pit can't bring back a dead body." Talia said walking to Damian.
"We need to go. Now!" She said pulling Damian with her. "Where are we going?" Damian asked before Talia narrowed her eyes. "Gotham City... It's time to meet your father."
A Week Later; Gotham City, Warehouse.
Batman and Kage dropped down to see a large human/gator hybrid stealing bottles of drugs. "Waylon Jones. A.K.A. Killer Croc. Stealing drugs isn't your M.O.." Batman said as Killer Croc turned around, and snarled at them. Naruto snorted. "I swear you have the weirdest villains Batman, and more than half are animal themed."
"When half the biotech labs get hit. I get curious." Batman said as Croc picked up his duffle bag. "You've been working out..." He stopped as they jumped back from a swipe of his tail. "The tail is new." Croc smiled before speaking. "Yeah. I got an upgrade." He wrapped his tail around a large tank, and threw it at them.
Batman jumped out of the way as Naruto kicked it out of a window. They ran in the shadows as Croc ran after them. Batman dropped down on Croc, and punched him several times before Croc grabbed him with his tail, and threw him in the ceiling. Croc threw him out of the window before seeing Naruto with a Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere).
"Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere.)" They went through the floor, and fell through two more before hitting the ground floor. "Damn that hurt." Naruto said getting up, and saw an unconscious Croc. He turned around to see Talia standing in front of him as Batman ran in. "Hello, my love." She said to Batman as Naruto looked on in shock.
Later; Yacht, Gotham Harbor.
Naruto was lying down on a couch as Talia, now wearing a red dress wrapped around her neck, and a slit on her legs poured a drink at the bar. "Want a drink?" She asked as Batman stared. "Last time that didn't go so well." Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. "Been there. Mind if I get one as well?" Naruto said as Talia gave him the go ahead to use the bar.
Batman and Talia soon talked for a while before Talia explained about the League being attacked by Slade, and the death of her father. She walked to a curtain towards the end of the one room drawing both of the hero's attention. "I would like you to meet... Your son." Once pulling back the curtain on revealing Damian, Naruto ended up on a coughing fit with him taking his drink.
"Holy..." Naruto trailed off seeing Damian, who walked to Batman. "Hello, father... I thought you'd be taller." Naruto sat up and stared at Damian. "Well… aren't you a surprise." Later, Talia left as Batman and Damian stared at the yacht. Naruto got on his bike as Batman walked to the Batmobile. "I'll drive." Damian said as Batman just stared at him. "No."
Gotham, Laboratory Warehouse.
A man with greyed out brown hair wearing a white button shirt, brown tie, and pants was working chemicals before dropping two in a test tube, and it turned blue. "Mom says dinner's ready." He turned to see a girl with pink hair on her right side, her left side shaved, and green eyes. She'd been wearing a leather jacket, and a dress that's black on top, a pink skirt, and knee-high boots.
"Rebecca... Sorry, I'm just close to a breakthrough." Rebecca raised an eyebrow at that. "You're always close to a breakthrough." She said running a hand through her hair. "Rebecca... Honey. I'm sorry, but I'm doing it for us." She walked, and looked to the beakers. "How is turning something 'blue' for us?"
She left forcing him to rub his eyes. "Maybe I could use a break. Rebecca, hold on, I'm coming!" He walked out the door showing a circular hall, and up to the door in front of him. Suddenly, he was hit in the head, and blacked out seeing masked men. When he woke up, he saw a masked woman put his glasses on.
He looked to see he was in his kitchen with Rebecca tied up, and Ubu holding a woman with short blonde hair wearing a red blouse, skirt with a pink undershirt. "Kirk... Who are these people? Please tell me you haven-" The woman was interrupted by Kirk. "No!" Before he could say anything else, a man in a cloak walked in, and looked to them.
"Your family will be alright... For now." The man said as Kirk saw a flash of his face revealing Slade. "Nice meal. Vegan... They say eating meat can make a person savage." Rebecca looked to Kirk with a scared look. "I-I didn't know daddy." Slade walked to the woman, and grabbed her face.
"True we arrived in her absence." Kirk looked to Rebecca, and his wife. "Rebecca. Francine. It's alright, everything's going to be alrig-!" Kirk stopped as Slade threw the food off the table, and reached over to grab him. "You sound so certain." Kirk narrowed his eyes at him. "Why are you here? I'm proceeding according to plan."
"Ah. You seem to think I'm part of the old agreement." Slade said walking to Rebecca. "I am not. To make things perfectly clear I'll be arranging separate accommodations for your family..." Slade trailed off squeezing Rebecca's neck. "Please don't hurt them." Kirk said as Slade let his daughter go.
"Of course not..." Slade picked up a throwing star, and threw it in the table. "Unless you disappoint me. And you don't want to disappoint me." Kirk looked to Slade before speaking. "Who are you?" Slade looked back to him before answering. "Let me put it this way doctor... Ra's al Ghul has retired, for good. I am his successor. I'm Slade Wilson."
Slade removed his hood showing his mask up, and an eye patch over his right eye. "But you will call me... Deathstroke." Deathstroke finished pulling his mask over his face.
Batcave, Thirty Minutes Earlier.
Naruto followed behind the Batmobile, and stopped as they entered the parking area in front of the computer as Alfred waited. "Welcome home, sir... I assume this is the young man staying with us?" He asked as Damian jumped out from the passenger seat. "Hello, Pennyworth." Damian greeted as Alfred nodded his head.
"Where are the rest of the servants?" Alfred raised an eyebrow at that. "I'm the sum total." Damian looked to Batman. "You only have one servant?" Batman just stared down at him. "Alfred's not a servant... He's a friend." Damian looked around the Cave before sitting in the chair at the computer. "So this is the fabled Batcave? Grandfather's told me all about it."
"Smaller then I thought. Very efficient, though." He folded his hands in front of his face as the others walked to him. Damian walked over to Batman's costume display, and stopped at a taller Robin costume. "Very feminine isn't it?" Alfred spoke up as Naruto walked to the computer, and leaned against it. "Master Dick wore that when he was a boy."
"Where is he now?" Damian asked as Alfred directed him to the stairs. "He's moved on." Naruto sighed before speaking. "He's going down a dark path Bruce... He reminds me of a friend who's had a similar background except his entire family died by his brother... Who did it to save the village from a takeover."
Batman removed his mask as Naruto pulled his hood down. Bruce brought up a tape of Ra's being healed from the Lazarus Pit. A few moments later, Alfred walked down with a tray of tea. "I have been relieved by Master Damian. I do miss him so." Alfred said before seeing the video. "Nothing good on tonight sir?"
"Old footage of Ra's being revived from the Pit.. He's cheated death so many times it's hard to believe he's gone... My son's role model." Bruce said before turning the footage off.
Barbara's Apartment; Early Morning.
Naruto groaned awake as light hit his eyes. He blinked a couple of times before smiling as he looked to see red hair on his chest before quietly removing himself to take a shower. When he got out, he put on a black elbow sleeve over his right elbow to cover his scar, and his business suit before kissing the sleeping Barbara, and left once leaving a note of where he will be going.
He called a taxi and left towards Wayne Enterprise. Later, Naruto walked out an elevator with Bruce who had a group of people surrounding him, asking him multiple questions. Naruto opened the door to his office, and saw Damian wearing a black long sleeved shirt, and cargo pants sitting at the desk. "Profits are down in Argentina. Someone's skimming the revenues."
"That's my department." The only woman said before turning to Bruce. "Bruce, who is this?!" Bruce quickly shut the door pushing them out before turning to his son. "What are you doing?" Damian looked to him. "Reviewing my birthright. This will be mine someday." Naruto sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"That's only if Bruce doesn't give it to Dick or Tim." Naruto looked up to Damian who was glaring at him. "Oh don't give me that look. They have as much a right as you do with them practically being his adopted sons in a manner of speaking." Damian looked out the window before speaking up. "Deathstroke has a contact in the City." Bruce walked over to him before speaking. "In Gotham?"
"We find him, we find Deathstroke. And we take him out... Permanently." Bruce glared down at him. "We don't kill. It makes us like them." Damian glared at him also. "It makes us better then them. Deathstroke killed my grandfather. He has to pay." Bruce stared down before speaking. "Ra's was a mad man."
"He was a hero! And he died a hero." Damian said before bringing up a holo projector, and brought up Ubu along with information. "Ubu is Deathstroke's right hand man. He used to work for grandfather. He's in town to partake in his... Vices, from what mother told me, I looked up the rest." Bruce raised an eyebrow at that set.
"This is classified information... You got this from the bat computer, didn't you?" Bruce asked as Damian pocketed the device. "I've been hacking since I was six. It was easy-Hey!" Naruto picked Damian up by the back of his shirt before taking him to the elevator. "Call Alfred."
Talia, Himalayas.
A masked Talia, and a group of Assassins dropped down at a castle entrance, and ran inside. "Slade's mine." She said as they ran down the hall.
BOOM!
Only for several explosions to go off killing all but her, and three men. They looked around the smoke that filled the hall before several shurikens hit the men in their necks, and forcing Talia to block several more. Suddenly, a masked man holding a katana without a guard dropped down, and attacked. Talia pushed him back before stabbing him in the heart.
She attacked several more masked men before Deathstroke appeared behind her, and knocked her out. A man walked over, and pulled his sword out. "No. She's more useful alive." Deathstroke said looking down at the unconscious Talia.
Arkham Asylum; Night.
Rain poured down as Naruto in his costume, Batman, and James Gordon with a bullet proof vest with 'G.C.P.D.' on it walked down the hall passing a cell with the Joker in it. They passed another with a man that has his entire left side of his body burned flipping a two-headed coin. They heard a loud groan before stopping the cell with Croc in it chained to the back wall.
They walked in, and saw his scales were coming off before James spoke up. "Croc's still coming down from whatever he was on." Batman nodded before speaking. "The drugs he was stealing were mutagens. I've got a pretty good idea for whom." James looked to Croc before speaking. "He's too far gone to interrogate. And if he wasn't I'm not sure he'll talk."
Batman walked over, and stopped just in front of Croc. "You're falling apart, Croc. You're even shedding your scales. It's over. You've got the last fix you'll get from Langstrom. So tell me, where is he?" Croc just stared at him before speaking. "Screw you." Batman reached down, and ripped his tail off. "They're afraid to medicate you Croc... They don't want to get too close."
Batman leaned in Croc's face. "But me... I'm not afraid. You help me... I'll help you."
Later, Kirk Langstrom's apartment.
Naruto and Batman dropped down in the kitchen, and saw a shuriken in it before picking it up. "I wonder if this is a reason he was kicked out?" Naruto asked looking at the shuriken. "Unless... He wants us to find him." They walked to his laboratory, and searched around. A green glow came up from a door leading down, and they walked down the stairs.
"Holy shit." Naruto said seeing several animal/bat hybrids sleeping in cages before seeing one cage ripped open. They heard a grunt from the ceiling, and looked up to see a gorilla/bat hybrid staring down at them. "Oh fu-!" Naruto stopped as the gorilla dropped down at them, and attacked. Naruto pulled his bow, and an arrow with a prod on it before shooting it, and shocked the gorilla.
When they walked over, the gorilla jumped at them, grabbed Naruto, and jumped out the window. "Get the hell off me!" Naruto yelled flipping them around so the gorilla fell on the concrete, cracking it. Naruto brought his fist down, and punched the gorilla in the head, knocking him out. Batman dropped down, and looked at the gorilla before hearing something.
They went to the next building as a drone flew to them, and flew at Kirk's building.
BOOM!
The building exploded as Batman, and Naruto crashed several water towers to fall on the flames.
Ubu's Apartment.
Ubu in a white suit walked in with two women before walking to hang his jacket up. "You'll need to keep this shut if you want me to take my things off." Ubu stopped before pulling out an Uzi, and puts a finger to his mouth. He looked around the room before stopping at a closet. "I'm going to give you till the count of three... One-!"
He opened fired on the door before seeing it was empty as the doors fell off. Suddenly, Damian in his assassin attire with a katana on his back dropped through the skylight, and attacked Ubu. He kicked the gun out of his hand before pulling out his sword to slice a lamp that was thrown at him.
"Leave, harlots." The women ran out at Ubu picked up his bar, and threw it at Damian to pick up gauntlet claws before attacking Damian. "Where is Deathstroke?!" Ubu smirked before speaking. "Did you think it would be that easy?" Damian smirked before dropping his sword, and dashed at Ubu taking him out to his balcony.
Ubu jumped over to a lower building, and used his claws to slide down the wall with Damian following into the streets fighting him. They attacked each other before Damian kicked him, jumped up, and landed on Ubu's head. "Either I get answers or you get the sword." Suddenly, someone kicked Damian away from Ubu.
Damian looked up to see a man catching his sword. He has black hair, and a domino mask on his face. He's wearing a black unitard, with black shoulder pads, boots and gloves. The chest area of his uniform is emblazoned with a blue bird with its wings expanded and his abdomen area is colored in a lighter grey, and a black utility belt.
"And the psychos just keep getting younger." He said before Damian attacked.
Later.
Nightwing with several cuts along his body panted as he looked up to see Damian tied in the air from a light post. He picked up a cell phone before hearing a sigh. Looking to his left, he saw Batwoman sitting on a motorcycle looking at him. "Really? My boyfriend, who was trained by Batman.. The Batman… Can hardly handle a twelve year old boy?"
"Oh shut up!" Nightwing wincey said before calling Bruce.
Later; Batcave.
Naruto watched as Alfred stitched a cut on Dick's arm. "Oh thank God! You got rid of the mullet. Don't tell me Sonia convinced you to get rid of that." Dick glared at him before looking up to Damian. "Remember who the blood son is." Naruto smack Damian upside the head. "Watch it boy, Dick's been Bruce's son longer then you have." Damian huffed before looking to the older costumes.
"This was yours?" Damian asked Dick staring at the Robin costume. "Still is." Dick replied before walking up as Damian opened the case. He closed it before looking to Damian. "Keep your hands off it kid." Damian looked at it. "Is this what you wore for training?" He asked as Dick shook his head. "No, patrolling."
"And before you speak, Damian. If you can hide with bright colors, you'll be good at hiding from your enemies." Naruto said before seeing Batman talking to James about Ubu. Naruto watched Damian walk down to Batman. "He doesn't deserve to breath." Batman stood up, and pushed his chair away.
"Do you know what you were out there? Not a warrior, nor a soldier. You were a child!" Damian pointed to Dick who was in costume without his mask. "If it wasn't fo-!" Naruto soon interrupted him. "If it wasn't for Dick you would have gone too far and killed him." Damian glared at him. "So?" Naruto shrugged at that.
"Then you would have lost your only way to find Slade. Now he can't talk so we have to wait longer, and who knows what Slade's done by now. I know your mother went to find him. He was able to beat Ra's, what if he kills your mother because he now has the time because we can't find him?!"
"Catch." Batman said throwing the star at Damian, who caught it. "Good reflexes." Damian looked at it. "It's a League of Assassins star." Batman nodded before speaking. "We found it at a warehouse belonging to a Kirk Langstrom. There appears to be a connection to Ra's and Deathstroke."
"I want to help. Like he used to." Damian said pointing to Dick. "It's bad enough you let them know we're on to them. You're letting vengeance cloud your judgment." Damian stared at him. "You've never felt vengeance?" Batman just stared at him for a moment. "Every day... But you need to be centered."
"You can't fight crime by becoming a criminal. From now on stay close, that's an order." Damian nodded before Dick spoke up. "I'm not going to like this, am I?"
G.C.P.D. Rooftop.
Naruto and Batman dropped down by James before Damian dropped down in a costume. He's wearing a green domino mask, red shirt with dark green long sleeves, green gauntlets, utility belt, and an 'R' over the left chest. He has dark green pants, kneepads, and boots. He also has a yellow cape with a smaller black one that's tattered, and has a hood.
"Another one?" James asked as Batman stared. "I'll explain later." James threw him a paper with a number on it in a zip lock bag. "That was in Ubu's place. Look at the back." Doing so, they saw 'Abandoned Gotham Coliseum' on it. Later, rain poured down as they stood on a roller coaster across from the coliseum.
"Dad used to bring me here for ball games." Batman said before grabbing Robin who tried to jump over. "Wait. Think before acting." Batman handed Robin binoculars as Naruto zoomed in with his glasses, and saw cameras. "They're watching for us." He said before seeing a grate near them, and saw blue lines leading to the Coliseum.
They dropped down, and crawled underneath to a janitor's closet as two men walked past them. Robin tried to attack but was held back. "Wait. We need to find Langstrom. Quietly." Batman said as they ran to the next-door, and found stairs leading down a floor. Going down, they saw a vent before quietly taking it down.
Robin crawled first as Batman jumped in, followed by Naruto, who put the grate back, and used glue to hold it in place. They came to the other side, and saw Kirk working on serum before crawling out. "Dr. Langstrom." Kirk turned around, and saw Naruto, and Batman staring at him. "You need to come with us."
"N-No. Deathstroke has my family. He says he'll kill them if I don-!" He stopped as Robin ran at him. "I'll make him talk!" He grabbed Kirk, and threw him at another table having a group of men run in. "Oh come on!" Naruto yelled dodging several swipes from a sword before grabbing the man's arm, and hit his elbow breaking it.
The man screamed before Naruto grabbed his head, and brought it down to his knee knocking him out. He looked back to see Robin take a sword, but after Batman yelled at him only attacked with kicks. Naruto grabbed two swords, and blocked an attack from another before kicking the man away as more ran in.
Batman dropped a smoke bomb, and they escape as Naruto put the swords in his belt loops on each waist. They ran on to the field before stopping as they heard a screech. Looking up, they saw human/bat hybrids with swords on their backs. "Man-Bats." Batman said as they opened their wings. "Oh son of a-!" Naruto yelled as the horde of Man-Bats fell down, and landed on them.
Naruto kept one from biting him before picking up an arrow, and it exploded in a bright light as Batman threw several batarangs up to the ceiling. Naruto jumped up to the opening as Batman, and Robin grappled up.
BOOM!
The batarangs blew trapping the Man-Bats as Naruto looked to see Robin running after Kirk. "Stupid kid." Batman said as Naruto smiled. "Must get his stubbornness from you." They dashed over, and stopped Robin from hurting Kirk with his sword. "Robin. He just said Deathstroke has his family. I think that's grounds enough to show he's not doing this out of free will."
Later, Batcave.
Naruto pulled the bag off of Kirk's head. "Talk." Kirk explained that Ra's paid him to make a formula for Human/animal hybrids for his Assassins before Deathstroke took his family, and that when he talked to them, Rebecca said there was snow, and two mountain peaks. "Grandfather's compound." Robin said as Nightwing looked to Kirk.
"Can you make a cure?" Kirk nodded before Naruto turned to Batman. "Go on ahead. Just throw one of my Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) Kunai since the Bat-Jet is only fitted for two." Later, after feeling the pull, Naruto disappeared, and reappeared beside Batman inside the castle. Naruto followed Batman as they walked the empty castle before turning on his vision.
"Over here." Naruto said stopping by a wall. He pushed a rock in, and the wall opened up to reveal Rebecca, and Francine. Naruto saw Rebecca run to Robin, hug him, and whisper in his ear. "Never got the fascination with the dark brooding type." He thought before taking them out to the Bat-Jet.
Later; Wayne Towers, Scotland.
Naruto, now wearing jeans, and a black shirt watched Bruce talk to Nightwing about the castle, and Kirk working on the antidote before looking in Damian's room. "Shit." He quietly cursed seeing him, and his costume gone before walking out of the room, and quickly got dressed in his costume. "Bruce, Damian's gone! I think he went after Slade!"
Later, Naruto in his costume, and Batman flew over an oilrig before dropping out the Jet, and fell onto two men, knocking them out. They walked in a room, and heard gunshots from a vent leading down. They jumped down, and saw a cave with Deathstroke holding a gun at Robin. Batman threw a batarang hitting the gun out of his hands.
"Kill them!" Deathstroke yelled as Man-Bats flew down. Only to screech in pain as Naruto shot arrows around the cave, and Batman threw batarangs that let out a high-pitched sound. They flew away as Deathstroke ran off with Robin following after. Naruto looked to see Talia groaning with a bullet wound in her stomach by a pit with green glowing water.
"Get her in, I'll go after Robin." Naruto said running down a tunnel. He stopped in a boiler room, and saw Deathstroke looking at Robin who was pinned to a tank with a knife, and sword through his arms. Naruto jumped over, and kicked Deathstroke away, who picked his swords off his back. "Really?" Naruto asked before reaching to a seal on his arm.
One of the katanna's he stole poofed in his hand as he sighed. "Not a real swordsman. But I had bad luck last time I went up against someone who used a bladed weapon." Naruto looked up to him before continuing. "Now I know what you're thinking... 'What's he doing using just a blade on me? Why not one of his powers?'"
"Well I don't want to use my powers on opponents that have no powers at all. I don't want to kill them, nor do I want to rely on using my strongest moves, and mode on weak opponents." Deathstroke dashed at him forcing Naruto to block several strikes before kicking him away. Deathstroke jumped at him just as Naruto swung his sword at Deathstroke's.
Deathstroke's blades dropped to the ground as Naruto sliced through them. Deathstroke looked back to see green energy along the blade. "Thanks Asuma-Sensei (Teacher). Can't use much wind chakra as not to damage the blade... Yet anyways, but it worked." Deathstroke yelled before dashed at Naruto who just kicked him at a pipe's door.
"AAHH!" He screamed as boiling water hit him Naruto grabbed him just as he fell off of the platform, and punched him in the head, knocking him out. A now healed Talia, and Batman ran over to them, and Damian now free ran to her. "Now let's get the hell out of here." Naruto said as he disappeared with Deathstroke and the others left in an escape pod.
Later; Shoreline.
Naruto watched as Talia, and Bruce talked about Damian. "He'll want to be with his mother." Talia said as Batman stared at her. "He's Robin now. He needs to stay with Batman." Naruto rolled his eyes at that. "Talia... He can't be an Assassin. Yet. He needs a childhood. Let Bruce take him, and I can train him in combat... I do know similar moves to the League."
Talia sighed as she saw Damian in his costume without his mask. "Learn from your father... And Naruto. They can teach you many things." She said giving Damian a hug and kiss before looking to Naruto. "My father has kept tabs on you." Naruto raised an eyebrow at that before she continued. "And under different circumstances. If I didn't meet Bruce... I think I would have fell for you instead."
"I'll be back for him someday." She said walking to a ship, and leaving. "Here Damian." Naruto threw Damian a sheathed katana he took from Deathstroke's men, and Batman glared. "Wait. Just pull it out." Naruto said as Damian pulled the sword showing the blade is reversed. "I noticed that you focused on fighting with a sword."
"Now you can use that, and won't hurt your opponents. The blade is just to cut things with." Batman sighed before turning around. "Let's go home." Damian fixed the sword on is back. "I'll drive." He said before Batman spoke up. "No." Naruto chuckled before walking to his Tomahawk. "I know how." Damian said as they walked to the Jet. "No."
Gotham, A Few Days Later.
Naruto in his suit walked beside Barbara in a black dress to a restaurant. "Sorry for taking so long.. That mission dealing with Slade took longer then I thought." She held his right arm, and leaned against him as they walked inside.
"There they are." She said looking to see Dick in a black suit with black undershirt, and tie walked alongside with Sonia in a red dress. "Hey guys." Sonia greeted as Naruto, and Barbara sat down at the table.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading, and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: Jebest4781, and Chaos-PSD.
Ok like I said in the above A/N, one reason for doing these Ch.s is too allow time to go by before getting to Unlimited.. I just wanted Ch.s to show what would happened during the months it took to rebuild the bigger Watchtower.
The second is around a year ago while Jebest, and I was talking about ideas for this, and other stories, I found this out on Batgirl's DCAU Wiki page.
At one point during the later series Justice League Unlimited, an episode featuring Batgirl was discussed. The episode would have featured Barbara being ordered by Batman to stay off a case involving Kirk Langstrom and an army of Man-Bats, in which she had recently gotten herself injured and put in traction.
Defying Batman's orders, she would have temporarily assumed an Oracle-like persona and recruited Huntress and Black Canary as her field agents (after finding Nightwing to be unavailable) who then help her to stop Langstrom's Man-Bats. The episode was never produced as the rights to the Batgirl character were not held over and were being used by the team on The Batman at the time, a show separate from the DC animated universes. Green Arrow and The Question were put in the episode's script, both substituting for her.
Jebest pointed out that was similar to Son Of Batman's plot, and we decided to use that, and this kind of gets carried into the next Ch.
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.
