I do not own any of these characters.

And I made a mistake in the second chapter, Dick is "dead" during this story so it was just Tim and Damian on the table receiving donations. Sorry, no Dick for you.

Oh and reviews are appreciated, thank you very much.

BRUCE'S POV

DEFCON 1

That is what my watch showed me when I was checking the time, as I was discussing with various health care organization spokesmen about possible treatment protocols for the hospital, right away I excused myself and walked up to Alfred who was serving champagne and spoke low enough so no one would hear us, "Get everyone out, we have a situation", he slightly nods before he says "Right away, sir", I warn Tim and send Damian to alert Jason and Barbara, this type of situations might require the help of the rest of us. I start to walk to the parlor, apologizing to the people wanting to talk to me before I pose a tender smile and speak.

"I greatly appreciate your assistance on this event and I am grateful to your willingness to help the children of this city, however I'm afraid that this will be the end of this gala due to slight problems with Wayne enterprises, I apologize for the inconvenience, have a good night."

The people begin to leave as I start to quickly walk to my fathers' study where the grandfather clock resides; I turn the hands and open the entrance to the cave. I walk down the stairs and across the platform at the center of the cave which starts to light up, the first things that come to light are the dinosaur, the batmobile, the giant penny and lastly the bat computer, I start to type furiously at the keyboard, wanting to define the situation at hand.

I search through files and files of surveillance footage of the evening, most of it muggings, drug trafficking and gang reunions but then I click on the Arkham asylum's.

I start to scan the surveillance footage of the night in order to cross out any big names, it seems that everyone is in their cells, the first person I look into is the Joker, he seems to be in his cell sitting on his bed with the usual wicked grin on his face, from then on I search through the rest of the villains hold up at the asylum, everything seems normal, something that bothers me, I search for any abnormalities in the footage and that's when something caught my eye.

There's a guard eating a tuna sandwich in the cafeteria, I recognize him as officer Jones, as a security measure I memorized the entire schedule of the asylum, along with the names of every security and staff shifts, I know that he isn't supposed to be at the asylum tonight, in fact he isn't supposed to be at the premise until next week, I realize that this is an old footage from last week's shift, I start to hack into Arkham's network so I can clear the footage and see what's been happening.

As soon as I can get a peek of tonight's events, my eyes widen at what I see and immediately a rush of anger flows through me before I bring my hands down on the keyboard and grit my teeth as I let a growl.

"DAMMIT"

JASON'S POV

I walk inside the study with Barbie on my side and Damian in front of us, we are then joined by Tim, the little rag-tag bat clan, I think as I picture the image of us walking synchronized, as we approach the study we are greeted by Alfred who is standing at the side of the clock with his eyes half lifted and his lip in a thin line "What's going on Al? I ask the butler, I always used nicknames when it came to Alfred, not any bad names or teasing references that I generally used with the rest of the family, a habit that has dimmed a lot since I started to accept my family again.

"It seems that trouble has emerged Master Jason, I recommend that you further discuss this with Master Bruce", I turn my gaze once again to the entrance but I can hear him trailing behind us.

We walk down the stairs and my mind just starts to trail back to those voices, the void, the lights, this is just too weird, even for me, and I've seen some pretty strange shit since I came back, besides the fact that I'm a former sidekick that came back from the death by being dumped in a pool of chemicals that has kept a man living for centuries, the same chemicals that came from a meteor that gave another man complete immortality, and I also saved an alien from being killed by a space plant that gives you an illusion of your greatest dream while it sucks the life out of you, and that I'm also friends with an alien princess whose race is anciently tied to felines. Yeah. Some pretty fucking strange shit.

Bruce's outburst gets me back to the emergency, I notice that Bruce just cursed, that's never good. He has always remained calm in moments of disturbance, so it takes a really bad problem to make him react this way, I stop at the stairs that lead to the bat computer where he is standing, Barbara at my right side along with Tim, Damian, and Alfred, we stay quiet for a moment before I break the silence "Alright we're here Bruce, What's going on" he doesn't respond at first but grunts a little before he replies, "This is a DEFCON 1 alert, so I need your help".

Ok, now this is definitely starting to make me worry, it takes a lot for Bruce to outright ask for help, something he and I share in common so it means something BIG happened and it doesn't look pretty. Alfred is the next person to ask Bruce, "What seems to be the nature of the problem, Sir? To which he says "there's been a break-out at Arkham".

It takes a few seconds for us to let the news sink but we get back to business with Tim asking "You checked the big names?", to which he nodded but didn't say anything "Well, who is it this time? Barbara asks and as she asks she looks at me from the corner her eye, seems that she still wants to know about my nightmare, Bruce then shakes his head before he lets out sigh of frustration, he then presses a key to reveal a list of the names of the villains and our pupils grow 3 times larger as we realize the magnitude of the problem.

Bruce then turns to look at us, cold mask on his face, but it is evident that he is enraged by the discovery.

"ALL OF THEM"
