Batman zoomed down the streets of Gotham. He was heading to Arkham to free his son. Clark wouldn't have done that. He and Batman were great friends, what would drive Clark so far off the edge that he would put Kevin in Arkham. Batman didn't have time to think it threw. Right now his mission was to break Kevin out of Arkham. Batman pulled up at the gates of Arkham.
The guard on duty noticed Batman's arrival. He picked up his walkie-talkie and requested back up. Once he sent his request he loaded his rifle and walked out of his station. "Superman said you would come. He also said to keep you away. We can end this nicely or.." Batman grabbed the rifle and snapped it in half with his knee. The guard stepped back in fear. Suddenly six guards rushed out of the gates and ran at Batman.
Batman rolled under the first guard knocking him to the floor, then he lunged at the second guard and jabbed his feet into his chest. The guards held up their firearms and shot at Batman. Batman flung three batarangs at the guards. They jabbed into the guns and sent it bursting into flames.
The guards dropped their weapons while Batman swiftly pounced on one of them. Batman wrapped his arms around the guard and squeezed the guard's neck sending him unconscious. Batman picked up the broken rifle and bashed it across the remaining guards. He shoved his way through the main gate and made his way through the Arkham silently avoiding the other guards. Batman approached the second gate that kept the inmates locked in. He tugged at the gate but it wouldn't budge. World's greatest detective couldn't even figure out that the gate was locked.
He grasped his hands around the gate and pulled himself up. He began to climb the gate when an alarm went off. He had been caught.
Batman ignored the alarms and climbed quicker. A bullet fired through his arm and Batman fell off the gate and hit the ground. Five guards appeared. Two guards held rifles, the other two held taser sticks, and the last one had a whip. The guard cracked the whip across Batman's back. His armor wasn't strong enough to block out the pain. The guard repeatedly whipped Batman's back. Batman shouted in agony and stopped moving. The two guards picked up off his feet. Batman started to move but two taser sticks jabbed into his chest and electric shocks entered his body. Batman stopped struggling and his head dropped forward. The guards dragged him out of Arkham and flung him to the floor. The gates closed again.
Batman put on his earpiece and turned it on. "Diana? Diana do you read me?" Bruce rasped into the earpiece. "Bruce? Bruce is that you?" a familiar voice rang in his ear. "Zatanna? Where's Diana?" "She had business in Themyscira. Bruce what happened?" she asked. "Im wounded. Im coming to the Batcave right now." Batman shut off his earpiece and drove off on his motorcycle.
Batman drove into the waterfall and parked his motorcycle. Zatanna climbed down the steps and guided Batman. She put him on a table and pulled out the emergency first-aid kit under Batman's desk. Zatanna stripped off his armor and inspected the wound. "While I treat this I want you to tell me what happened." Batman nodded. Zatanna slowly cut the hold in his arm open so she could get out the bullet. "I tried to free Kevin." Zatanna shivered when he spoke the name. Zatanna dug out the bullet and dropped the bloody tweezer. Bruce gritted his teeth in pain. Zatanna wrapped his arm. "It must be hard knowing that your son is locked up in a horrible place," Zatanna murmured. Batman looked into her eyes. "It wasn't just that. Kevin left me a message the day he joined the team. He said he had fallen for a beautiful woman I knew he was talking about you."
Zatanna blushed. Bruce sighed and slowly sat up. "Why don't you join the justice league Zatanna? Why do you choose to stay with the younger recruits?" Bruce looked at her. Zatanna sighed and wiped the hair from her face. "I just have many memories there. It wouldn't be the same if I left them behind." Bruce nodded. Bruce didn't know what came over him. Was it the look in her eyes? Or how she saved his life? He didn't know. It must have been something powerful because Bruce found his lips against hers.
They broke off and looked at each other. "Im sorry Zatanna I don't know what got over me." Zatanna looked at him. "Its alright… I better get going. It was nice seeing you." Zatanna rushed off. Bruce sighed and put his hands to his face. He had done something stupid. Bruce lay back down and was over taken by his thoughts. He hadn't realized the blurry images around him. Bruce closed his eyes and fell asleep
