"You may not realize it, but you two are exactly what I was hoping for," said Deadshot, pulling out a pistol and training it on Batman and Robin from across the room.
"We're not here to fight," responded Batman.
"Is breaking down people's doors how you usually behave when you don't want to fight?" asked Catman.
"If we wanted to fight, the six of you would already be dead," said Robin. Batman discreetly gave Robin a look of disapproval which Robin didn't seem to notice.
Bane responded, "I see that you possess much of your father's spirit, little one. It would be lamentable if you were killed before you have the chance to learn proper respect for your betters."
"Why are you two coming after us in the morning anyway?" asked Scandal. "Isn't it after your curfew?"
"We're not here to fight," Batman repeated, "We're here to deliver a mess…" Before Batman could finish speaking, Ragdoll dropped from the ceiling and began trying to wrap his limbs around Batman.
"I'm sorry. Being attacked from above must be a terribly alien experience for you. I apologize," Ragdoll said.
Batman was in the process of tying Ragdoll's arms and legs in knots to avoid getting crushed when Bane grabbed Ragdoll by the head and lifted him off Batman. "Allow The Bat's successor to speak," Bane ordered.
"Now that I have your attention," said Batman, "I'm here to tell you that Talia al Ghul is in Gotham, and she's brought Slade Wilson and an entire army of bat-ninjas with her."
"We've dealt with Talia and Slade before," said Scandal. "We already knew we were risking a fight with her."
"I don't really care whether you six can handle Talia al Ghul or not. Gotham City has been having enough trouble recently without armies of ninjas flying overhead. I won't allow you to have this fight in my city."
Scandal replied, "What makes you think you can stop us from operating in Gotham City?"
"We can stop you from operating anywhere," said Robin.
"You don't realize how much force is organized against you. After the recent chaos, everyone's determined to prevent Talia al Ghul from destroying Gotham," said Batman.
"You think we care about a group of superpowerless vigilantes?" said Talia.
"That's not really fair. We're mostly superpowerless villains," said Ragdoll.
"That's not true," said Catman. "You, Scandal, and Jeanette all have powers."
"Unfortunately, the government doesn't recognize surgery addiction as a superpower. Don't think I haven't petitioned," said Ragdoll.
"You've been warned once," said Batman. "You can leave Gotham by choice, or be forced out." With that, Batman left the apartment.
"By the way, large one," said Robin, "You broke my father's back once. I'll be seeing you again very soon." Robin followed after Batman.
"Well," said Jeanette, "It was very polite of them to deliver that warning in person."
"We seriously need to find a better hiding place if we don't want random superheroes visiting us," said Catman.
"It's worse than you think," said Scandal, "I saw the Zyklon B Brothers following us when I got milk this morning."
"Those clowns tracked us?" said Deadshot. "This is just embarrassing. Also, aren't they dead?"
"I suppose I should throw them harder next time," said Jeanette.
"Perhaps we should be more worried about Talia al Ghul and Slade Wilson," suggested Catman.
"I don't think so," said Deadshot, "Anyone who goes around calling himself something like 'Deathstroke' is clearly compensating for some serious insecurities."
"I couldn't agree more," said Ragdoll.
"We need to be more proactive about this situation," said Scandal. "Bane, you used to control Gotham. Call in whatever contacts you have left from those days and see if we can find out where Talia al Ghul is. If we can hit her first, she might decide that this precious belonging of hers isn't worth the trouble to retrieve."
"Speaking of which," said Liana, "Should we really have that sitting in the kitchen like that? I know it's inside a briefcase, but it seems inappropriate."
"I can contact Bird and Zombie," said Bane, "But I do not imagine that they will be cooperative."
"We can make them cooperate," said Scandal. "Let's send Talia a message."
