"Sergeant your tip on the Iceberg Lounge paid off, we've got an informant on the inside now and they've just given us Harvey Dent's location. He's holed up in an apartment complex in Old Gotham, sending you the coordinates now. Be advised this is a kill/capture mission, prosecute the target as you see fit. Overlord out."
Alex's phone buzzed as he received the coordinates to Dent's hideout and was surprised that it wasn't that far from his own apartment. It would be easy for him to just go in guns blazing and kill the man but he figured he might as well make good on his "arrangement" and get ahold of the bats for help, purely for a show of good faith.
So, he ended up making the drive to the bat signal and switching it on before waiting around for someone to arrive. Alex was expecting either Batman or Batgirl to show up but instead it was Robin who answered the call.
"I'm surprised you're asking for help Sergeant, figured you wouldn't want us getting in the way." Robin said once he saw it was Alex making the call.
"Hey Batgirl did right by me the other night and I made a promise to you all that I intend to follow through on. Now I've got a lead on Two-Face's location and have orders to bring him in, you interested?"
"You bet, let's go!" He replied excitedly and Alex couldn't help but admire his enthusiasm, reminded him of himself when he was a boot.
They climbed down from the roof and drove over to Old Gotham, Alex briefing Robin on the situation as they went before parking in an alley a block away from the building. Alex went around to the truck and removed a shotgun, loading it with ammunition.
"I like to keep this for close encounters." He joked as he pumped the first shell into the chamber.
"I thought you weren't going to be killing anyone?" Robin complained.
"Man you guys are jumpy; you see a gun and instantly think I'm going to kill someone. First I can use a gun with lethal ammunition and NOT kill someone. Secondly this is loaded with rubber riot control ammo, so it'll hurt like a bitch but won't kill anyone." Alex explained, showing him a shell so he could see it was non-lethal. The shotgun may have been loaded with non-lethal, but the pistol strapped to his leg was loaded with live ammunition, just in case.
"Alright, sorry I doubted you. How do you wanna play this?" He asked and Alex looked up at the building in thought.
"Let's go in through the ground floor, clear our way up and box them in on the roof." He answers and Robin nods his head in agreement.
"Sounds like a plan, after you Sergeant." He says before walking into the building getting ready by the first door.
"I'll go in first, watch for civilians and stay out of my line of fire. Kick the door when you're ready." Alex whispered and again he nods in agreement. Alex settled the shotgun in his shoulder and nodded that he was ready. Robin kicked the door in and Alex quickly rushed inside, sweeping the room with his shotgun and seeing that the only occupants were civilians. Lowering the shotgun, Alex grabbed the first guy he saw.
"Two-Face, what room is he in?" He quietly demand, scaring the man.
"He…he's on the third floor, don't hurt us man!" He answered before Alex dropped him.
"You enjoy your night and I was never here, got it?" He warned as he leave and the civvies quickly shake their heads. "He's on the third floor, let's move!" He informed Robin and they quickly take the elevator up.
As the doors open on the third floor the two were immediately engaged by some of Dent's thugs. They must have heard the commotion downstairs and were expecting them. Alex quickly pushed Robin against the wall before firing two shells from his shotgun down the hall, the rubber pellets causing the goons to writhe on the floor in pain.
From there he and Robin split up, each of them taking a side of the hallway and clearing the rooms until eventually meeting up in the last room.
"You find him!?" Alex asked once he finish flexi cuffing the last thug.
"No, he must've bailed!"
"Damn it, I'm not letting him slip away from me again!" He shouts just as he heard the sound of an engine revving down below. Looking out the window Alex saw Dent in his car getting ready to take off. Neither his shotgun or pistol would stop the car, he needed something bigger. That's when Alex remembered that Dent had come into possession of some RPG's a while back and he quickly located one.
Robin and Alex quickly ran back outside and onto the street just as Dent turned out of the parking lot. Alex took a knee and loaded a rocket into the launcher before sighting in on the rear of Dent's car.
"Might wanna cover your ears kid, this is gonna be loud!" He shouted to Robin, who quickly plugged his ears.
Alex let the car get about a hundred meters ahead of him before firing, the rocket punched through the back of the car and detonated inside the truck flipping it head first onto it's roof.
"Overlord this is Knight, target vehicle is down and I'm moving to detain now, over." He informed General Anderson who was monitoring from his UAV Drone.
"Roger that, will pick the target up at the shipping yards. Knight be advised GCPD has been alerted and are on their way now, recommend you speed things up down there."
"Roger that, I'll be out of here shortly." Alex and Robin moved up to the flipped vehicle, shotgun back in Alex's hands and pointed at the driver's side as they moved.
When they got to the car Robin pulled Dent out and checked him over for injuries but the man was only unconscious. He then handcuffed him before Alex slung his shotgun and picked Dent up in a fireman's carry, quickly making his way back to where he had parked the car. Alex passed Dent off to Robin who placed him in the back seat while he stowed his weapons in the trunk.
With Dent and his gear secured Alex drove back to the shipping yards where he had interrupted the arms exchange previously and pulled up to the awaiting Black Hawk and CIA team. The spooks then took Dent from his custody and secured him in the helicopter before flying off to whatever black site they had come from, leaving Alex and Robin standing on the yards by themselves.
"Good work Kid, Batman sure does have an eye for talent." Alex complimented, having been impressed with the skills the boy had displayed tonight.
"You to Sergeant, it was a pleasure working with you." He replies happily.
"Hey, I meant what I told you when we first met; you ever get tired of this when your older there's a spot in the Marines waiting for you."
"Ha, I don't think I'll ever get tired of this, thanks for the offer though. Later Sergeant." He says before taking off. He's a good kid, got a lot of potential in him, Alex thinks to himself. He looked around the yard for a second before heading home for a well-deserved rest.
…Mission Complete…
