BATMAN BEYOND REVISITED

EPISODE:

INQUE'S POV

I was returning to the Jokerz hideout after my meeting with the Bat.

The Jokerz...

They have no idea that I know what I know.

I entered the meeting room, sitting as if I was waiting for hours.

They entered the room.

There was three of them.

There's Pirate, known as such because of his love of boats and his missing left eye. Dangerous with a sword.

There's Kira, named as such because Kira is the Japanese word for killer. Fitting as one of her favorite hobbies is killing. Especially with pistols. She said "It lets me get up close and personal with my victims." when I asked her why a few weeks back.

Then there's the guy with muscles so big, it's a wonder how he could still move. He's named after his favorite weapon. Chainsaw. I've seen him use his chainsaw on a Joker that talked back and, let's just say, it was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

He's obviously the leader of this gang.

"What took you so long?" I asked casually.

Then I realized how dumb of a question that was after noticing the blood on their biker outfits.

I was certain it wasn't theirs.

"Just shut up, damn bitch." Kira said.

Oh, did I forget to mention?

Kira hates my nonexistent guts.

Ever since I joined this group, she's been trying to get me killed by framing me of all sorts of things.

She's never said why, but I was told she's the same with all women.

"Don't mind her, Inque. You know how she gets." Pirate said.

"Yeah. She's an ass to everyone. Doesn't bother me. So, where have you all been?"

"Business." Chainsaw said with a voice so dark and threatening that even I couldn't hide my fear. "Now, Inque, how'd your deal with Batman, go? Huh?" He asked coldly.

"What?"

"Don't think you can just up and go wherever you want without me knowing." Kira smirked at me as Chainsaw said that. "Now, tell me..." He put his face five inches away from mine, so I could smell his horrible tobacco breath. "...Why'd you seek out the Bat?"

"I thought I could lure him here so we could kill him. He was too smart to follow." I lied.

He slapped me across the face, but I maintained my composure. Besides, it's not like it hurt.

"NEVER bring Batman here. That could ruin our plans!"

I decided to act clueless.

"What plans?"

"None of your business. Just shut your damn trap."

I shrugged, but I knew my suspicions were confirmed.

He may not know I know, but he obviously doesn't think I'd be a threat, since he's not hiding the fact there is some plot.

I glanced around the room, acting bored.

"So, Chainsaw, what do you want next?" Kira asked.

"Well, everything is ready now. So all I need you guys to do is kill Batman. We can't get this underway until he's out of the picture."

I scowled at the idea.

Ever since Batman held my hand, I couldn't help but get sickened at the thought of him dead.

"How do you suppose we do that? It's not like we just walk right up to him and stab him without some fight and he's obviously trained."

"I just give the orders. You guys figure it out. And do it fast. I won't allow any slip ups on this one."

I frowned at him, but I couldn't say anything.

I had to play along for now.

If doing that means helping kill the Bat, what choice do I have but to kill him?

I was going to kill him a year ago, anyways. With no remorse.

Why would I feel bad about it now?

I just hope I can get him to help me stop the Jokerz before I have to kill him...
