...And Injustice For All

Chapter 9: Riot At The Asylum

At Stryker's Island, Batman is seen tied up from arms and legs. Yellow Lantern moved his mask and utility belt. He called Regime Superman and inform him of Batman's capture

Yellow Lantern: Ok, Bruce. Ready for visitors? Want a comb?

Regimes Superman and Wonder Woman appears. Regime Superman uses his eyes to scan Batman's vitals.

Wonder Woman (Regime): Nice work, Hal...

Superman (Regime): It's not him.

Yellow Lantern: What?

Superman (Regime): His DNA matches Bruce Wayne's, but his vitals are all wrong.

Regime Superman stepped closer to Batman.

Superman (Regime): You're one of the duplicates. Tell me why you're here.

Meanwhile, Jade and Tanya were transported to Arkham Asylum to continue their search for Chris.

Tanya: You think Chris might be here?

Jade: We got to start somewhere. We just need to infiltrate this place quietly.

As they infiltrated, they found the Joker about to make his speech at the mess hall.

Joker: I love what you've done to the place. Arkham has never looked better.

Tanya: Who's this clown?

Jade: No idea.

Joker: Dear members of the Joker Clan...

Tanya: Joker? (Scoff) He is a joke...

Joker: You know the truth about the Metropolis incident.

Jade: Metropolis?

Joker: Superman killed those people, then he tried to kill me!

The crowd booed as he continued.

Tanya: They really love this guy.

Joker: I admire the work you're done in my name... disturbances, distractions, general pains in Superman's buttocks.

The crowd laughed.

Joker: But let's think bigger...

Harley (Insurgent) (Lovestruck): Isn't he dreamy?

Joker: Harley tells me Superman made this pill for his thugs, then Batman's insurgents got some, now we have them too.

Tanya: A pill?

Joker shows them the pill.

Joker: With these, a bus could fall on us and we won't be hurt. Slapstick at its finest!

Joker tosses the pill up in the air and falls into his mouth, swallowing it.

Jade and Tanya looked at each other like 'this motherfucker...'

Joker gathers the crowd and finishes his speech.

Joker: From now on, we'll be more than just a nuisance. The barking dog will become the raging elephant. The whoopee cushion, a landmine...

Tanya: The fuck is a whoopee cushion?

Joker: ...the Joker, a king!

Joker got a huge round of applause

Suddenly, Regime soldiers broke through the walls and start shooting everyone. Joker took some shots, but to his surprise, he's still alive.

Joker: I should be dead. Thanks, Happy Pill!

Joker disarms the soldier as Regimes Hawkgirl and Nightwing join the fray.

Jade and Tanya could not hide anymore and tried to make a break for it, but Regime Nightwing caught them.

Nightwing (Regime): Stop!

Regime Hawkgirl confronted Joker.

Hawkgirl (Regime): Back from the grave? Should've kept that suit buried.

Joker: It's not my Sunday best, but it's comfortable, and functional.

The flower on Joker's suit spat acid on Regime Hawkgirl's face.

Hawkgirl (Regime): I'm gonna enjoy giving you to Superman.

Joker: On no, dear. You have a headache.

As Joker and Regime Hawkgirl battle, Jade & Tanya battled Regime Nightwing, but Tanya was knocked out cold.

Nightwing (Regime): You're next!

Jade takes out her pole and extends it.

Jade: (Seductively) Come and get me, I dare you.

Regime Nightwing contemplated on whether to attack her or...

He got knocked out from behind by Tanya.

Jade: You good?

Tanya: Better.

Joker defeats Hawkgirl.

Joker: Lovely girl, if you can get past the feathers.

Joker took out his knife to cut one of Hawkgirl's wings when Tanya stopped him.

Tanya: Don't even try, Joker!

Joker sees Tanya, amazed of her beauty.

Joker: What stunning beauty!

Tanya: Flattery will get you nowhere.

Joker: Are you sure my dear?

Joker tried to use the same charm as he did with Harley. Tanya's response was her showing him her flaming hand.

Tanya: What do you think?

Joker: I think I'll enjoy killing you instead.

Tanya: You won't, because you can't.

And here's why: Tanya's sexy acrobatic style of combat, her pyromancy, as well as her ability to teleport to cover her escape or advance. That's why. Joker was dumbfounded as he was easily defeated. Even Jade was impressed that Tanya was not fazed by Joker's charm. Harley could learn much from her.

Regime Hawkgirl awoke to see Jade and Tanya.

Hawkgirl (Regime): Superman would love to see you two as well.

Jade: I don't think so. Sit this one out, Tanya. I got this.

Jade and Hawkgirl fight. Regime Hawkgirl can fly and attack at the same time, but Jade and her sexy technique using her pole was more than Regime Hawkgirl could handle.

Jade: Sorry, Hawkgirl, but your flight is cancelled!

Jade and Tanya escaped the asylum when Chris and Zatanna showed up.

Tanya: Chris!

Tanya hugs him.

Tanya: Thank the Gods you're ok.

Jade: Who are you? Are you one of them?

Zatanna: I am Zatanna. I'm a magician.

Tanya: Magician?

Tanya looks at Zatanna and soon become mesmerized.

Zatanna: And you?

Tanya: I'm Tanya...

Zatanna: Tanya, eh? I see you possess magic. Pyromancer?

Tanya: Yes! How did you know?

Zatanna: I told you. I'm a magician. Maybe you can show me, (Sultry) and I'll show you mine.

Chris and Jade was seeing this as Tanya and Zatanna were... kissing. What is going on?

Meanwhile, Joker woke up to face Regime Nightwing.

Joker: So the Bat-Brat joined Superman. Tell me, who's boots are tastier to lick?

Regime Nightwing: Batman's a criminal, just like you.

Joker: Nothing like me.

Nightwing (Regime): So you're a hero where you come from?

Joker: Oh no, dear boy. Batman corrupts young minds while I... bash them out of their skulls!

This Nightwing is more brutal and reckless, but Joker was able to take him down.

Joker: I have to tell Batman... there's been a death in the family!

Just then, Insurgent Batman with the prime heroes, along with Sonya and Jax entered the asylum through the hole created by the Regime soldiers. They battled the Joker clan and immediately they were taken down.

Afterward...

Joker: Hi, gang. What'll we do now? Who's up for some pancakes?

Wonder Woman got behind Joker and restrains him.

Joker: Why does she hate pancakes?

Batman (Insurgent): What are you playing at, Harleen? What is he doing here?

Harley (Insurgent): Mr. J could be a big help for us.

Jax: So you went ahead on their little field trip.

Sonya: And I'm guessing he didn't come alone. Where's Chris?

Joker: Who?

Harley (Insurgent): Are you talking about this military guy who works for you?

Sonya: With us, and yes.

Harley (Insurgent): I saw two women here earlier, one in yellow and one in green. They questioned Mr. J about Chris' whereabouts.

Sonya: Jade and Tanya... they can't be far.

Jax: Let's go.

Batman (Insurgent): Your eyes... pure evil... just like his.

Joker: Who, Superman? His flying friends took Batman. My Batman. Our Batman.

Batman (Insurgent): Quiet, or I'll cuff you and leave you to the police.

Joker: Then why did you save me from them?

Green Lantern shows up.

Green Lantern: Batman's been captured. We gotta bust him out.

Batman (Insurgent): To free your Batman, we must complete our mission.

Harley (Insurgent): I love a good mission.

Batman (Insurgent): Negative. You and your clan lay low. You're a target now. (To Joker) And you're too dangerous to run free. (To the others) More will arrive. Go. I'll catch up with you.

Joker: I don't like you.

At the Watchtower, Superman, Flash and Cyborg finally found their teammates.

Superman: So you found them in a parallel universe. How do we get there?

Flash: We don't. We bring them here.

Superman: No risk to a away team... good. Still the same problem. How do we do it?

Cyborg: With this. We're going to modify my Cosmic Treadmill, pull them back here at once.

Superman and Flash agree.

Cyborg: We got some work to do.

Insurgent Lex Luhor is standing on the rooftop watching the moonlight. Insurgent Deathstroke appears behind him.

Luthor (Insurgent): Beautiful, isn't it?

Deathstroke (Insurgent): The moon, or its light shining off your bald head?

Luthor (Insurgent): I'm pleased you wanted to meet. You're finally ready to join our little club?

Deathstroke (Insurgent): Business is bad. Being hunted is worse.

Luthor (Insurgent): After many refusals, why now?

Deathstroke (Insurgent): They made it personal.
