Final Chapter: A New Threat
"This is Vicki Vale reporting live from the scene of a terrible bombing at Arkham Asylum, which took place in the early morning hours, just around sunrise, There are no reported survivors, such a tragedy, among the dead Doctor Penelope Young the leading physicist, Professor Hugo Strange, and many more we will have more information as the reports come in, Batman was on the scene but he is reported dead as well, a very said day for Gotham indeed."
Harley couldn't believe what she had just seen on the T.V, Arkham had been completely leveled to the ground and she felt it in her heart that Joker was dead, she fell to the ground and began to cry, Ivy and Canary went to comfort their friend, Cherry cried too, she ran to her mother and held her close they cried and cried for a while, all this crying made Ivy want to join in, Bane and Flash tried to comfort the girls to the best of their abilities.
No one spoke they just sat there listening to the reports and prayed for some good news for a change.
Nightwing had saw it happen from a rooftop that he was standing on, he prayed that Bruce had somehow, managed to survive the blast, Bruce was a father figure to Dick, as Dick was orphaned that day at the circus when that mad Clown had murdered his family, and he laughed the whole time and that evil laugh of his, oh Dick could never forgot that laugh, Joker, it was Joker that murdered the Grayson's. The only reason that Dick wasn't kill was because he was hiding up in the rafters, out of sight out of mind. Batman showed up to save the day and he took down Joker and his thugs, then Commissioner Gordon showed up to clean up the scene like he often did.
Dick was taken in by Bruce and trained as his sidekick Robin, thus the birth of the dynamic duo, they fought many foes side by side and he admired Bruce's skills and so he knew that somehow Bruce was alright. He got closer for a better look, and said to himself:
"Hang in there Bruce, don't give up yet, Gotham still needs you, heck I need you"
Batman was floating in the water, Selina with him and Joker next to him, that was one hell of an explosion, Michael Bay would have loved every second of it. Deathstroke was holding on to Frost really tightly she was shaking but they were all alive. Just moments before the explosion Slade grabbed Frost and jumped into the water, he saw Batman use his grapple gun to grab Joker and Selina grabbed onto Batman and the three of them also jumped into the water at the last possible second narrowly escaping the explosion.
That was one huge explosion the aftermath was devastating Arkham was no more. All that remained was the shell of the structures and the island itself. Batman woke up Selina still clinging to him, he spoke:
"It's over honey you can let go"
Selina released her grip on Bruce and responded
"phew that sure was a close one alright, your not hurt are you Brucie?"
"No, I'm fine" Batman said
Batman walked over to Joker who was lying on his back he was laughing as usual and then Batman grabbed him up and then spoke angrily
"See what you did you twisted freak, you reject from a circus, who gave you that bomb, WHO"
"Agent Amanda Waller, she used us all, the Clown was just a pawn like us Batman" Slade said
"What why? Why would she do something like that" Batman said
"Not really sure, but she is evil, more so then Strange or even that lunatic you have there in your kung fu grip" Slade said
"I never thought you cared so much Batman, are you looking for a kiss because contrary to what you may think I'm not into guys, are you going to release me or not, because and not that I don't like you but I'm married and have a daughter" Joker said
"Shut up, I'm taking you in Joker" Batman said
They five of them walked out of there Selina grabbed on to Bruce's arm and they walked side by side through the water Batman was pushing Joker in front of him, Slade and Frost where walking behind. They surveyed the devastation, as they left Arkham they didn't look back. It was a media circus alright, and Vicki Vale approached.
"Batman how did you escape that explosion, and is Joker involved, care to comment" Vicki said
"no comment" Batman said pushing Joker along and then they went to the G.C.P.D building where Commissioner Gordon was waiting
Back in Keystone Harley hugged the T.V when she saw that Joker was alive,
"we have to get to the G.C.P.D in Gotham, Cherry we are going to see your daddy are you excited, because I sure am" Harley was about to burst she was so excited.
"really mommy, I'm so happy, but shouldn't we get changed first." Cherry said
"Your right honey it isn't a good idea to go dressed as we are" Harley said
"When your ready Harley I'll take you back and I'll go as well" Flash said
"Thanks Flash, Ivy are you coming?" Harley ask
"I think that we'll stay here, I like it here, you go be with Joker" Ivy said giving Harley a hug
After Harley got dressed and helped Cherry get dressed they said goodbye to Canary and Ivy and headed back to Gotham and with Flash they were there in no time at all.
At the G.C.P.D building Batman and company met with Commissioner Gordon he was glad that
they were safe.
"Wow you are truly something Batman, to survive that explosion and all, so you brought in Joker eh, wait why is Deathstroke here, aren't you enemies?" Gordon said
"Long story, turns out that Joker wasn't much of a threat, it turns out that he was being used like everyone else, Amanda Waller was the one in charge, she gave him that bomb" Batman said
"I know she confessed it to me, I was going to help you out when it went off, everyone thought you died, But I knew better" Gordon said
"Yeah it would take more than an explosion to kill you Batman, that is why I looked up to you I still do" Nightwing said
Batman was happy to see his former partner and hugged him Selina smiled warmly, Joker had sat down on the corner of the building and when Harley ran up to him they almost fell off, he was glad to see her too.
"Oh I thought you died puddin, I was sooooo sad, but thanks to Flash we made it here and now we are together again" Harley said
"Daddy, oh you gave me a scare with that T.V Broadcast, I'm so happy that you are safe"Cherry said hugging her father
"I've missed you too my sweet little Cherry, and you too cupcake, here we are together at last and nothing is every going to change that anytime soon" Joker said kissing Harley and hugging little Cherry
"I may not like the guy but I must admit that seeing him with that kid gives me a warm feeling inside that is one cute scene" Catwoman said
"I agree with you Catwoman" Frost said
"Thank you Selina, I never expected to hear that from you" Joker responded holding up Cherry
"Whatever, you daughter is just so adorable I could eat her right up" Selina responded
"Mommy, you won't that evil Cat Lady really eat me will you?" Cherry said clinging to Joker
"Of course not, your safe trust me darling she won't get near you, I won't let her, she'd meet the backside of my hammer if she tried" Harley said
Everyone laughed then Harley saw Frost and ran up to her new friend and stuck her tongue in her mouth and wiggled it around playing tongue hockey with Frost, everyone just watched, Slade rolled his eye, then Harley spoke:
"Frosty, you made it, I'm so happy"
"It's nice seeing you as well Harley" Frost said
"You know I never get tired of watching Harley kiss other girls it really turns me on, there really isn't anything like a little girl on girl action, am I right Bruce" Joker said nudging Batman slightly
"Whatever" Batman responded
"I kissed a girl and I liked it so what, I still love you puddin, I'm bisexual" Harley said
"I know I was mereily commenting on that fact dear, don't be mad, leave that for me" Joker said
Nobody said anything they all just stood there, that was one adventure that Batman was glad was over, he looked at Selina then to Dick and over to Slade then over to Joker. Maybe know he could finally get some well deserved rest, he was beat that truly was one night in the crazy house and one that would never be forgotten either, he held Selina close, they just sat there embracing other, Batman had Catwoman, Slade had Frost, Dick had Starfire, and Joker had Harley and little Cherry Pie, everyone was happy until one day that is.
Epilogue
For quite sometime Clark Kent aka Superman had been closely watching this portal that had opened up near his city Metropolis, he was beginning to suspect fowl play and usually were there was fowl play Lex Luthor his arch nemesis was involved. He had called on the aid of some of his most trusted friends and allies the Justice League which was Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and he was their leader. However with this new threat he may have to reach out to some others for aid as well so he decided to pay Batman a visit in Gotham and the reunion didn't go the way he had expected it too.
Superman and the others had agreed to met with Batman at the G.C.P.D. Two days had passed since that incident at Arkham, it was already beginning to fade from memory but it would stay with Batman forever. Batman was waiting on the rooftops with Selina by his side, Slade and Frost were there as well, even Bane had decided he wanted some action so he left Ivy with Canary back in Keystone, Flash was there as well and Wonder Woman, Aquaman had to sit this one out as he had to tend to his fishes(he's so lame), and Manhunter thought it best to stay at the Watch Tower he'd provide backup from there. Even Joker wanted to get his hands dirty and of course where Joker went Harley followed, Canary watched Cherry again, she enjoyed it very much. Green Lantern was on board and Supergirl worried about her cousin running off again and doing something reckless decided it wise to join the team assembling, Hawkgirl too wanted in, and if Batman was involved you better believe that Nightwing would be there as well. To round out this new Justice League Lex Luthor decided with his wealth and resources that he too would aid our heroes. This was quite the diverse team comprised of both heroes and villains, because of a threat of this magnitude no one would be safe regardless of allegiance, they would have set aside there differences at least for now.
"So the reason that I called you all here was because I've been monitoring some strange activity lately, at first I suspected Lex here of having a part in it but that wasn't the case, this is a completely new threat one that we have never faced before, and absolutely under no circumstances are any of you to kill, believe me I'll know if do, that goes double for you Slade." Superman said
"I can't promise you anything Superman, but I will try" Slade said
"That's more like it, so out from this portal I saw a big guy with Green Skin rampaging through downtown Metropolis, he wrecked a big portion of the city, he didn't seem all that bright though and I feel that maybe there are others just as powerful coming through that portal, Flash said a man in green cloak with a metal mask had murdered Oliver Queen, Ollie was no pushover so count yourselves lucky if you don't encounter him, also Flash I don't want you running off after him to avenge Green Arrow you barely managed to escape your last encounter, understand" Superman said
"I understand Clark, I miss Ollie but your right, going after his killer is suicide" Flash said
"Good at least we are all on the same page, are there any questions, anyone?" Superman said
"Yeah I got one, that symbol that you wear what does that stand for I always thought that it stood for Superman?" Joker asked
"Joker this symbol stands for hope on my planet, it does kind of look like a giant S doesn't it" Superman said
"I guess but I was under the impression that hope started with an H, doesn't it?, Slade buddy old pal" Joker said putting an arm around Deathstroke
"Get that hand off of me Clown or I'll remove it preeminently, understand" Slade said Joker jerking his hand away
"you don't really like me much do you Slade?" Joker said
"Does anybody" Slade said
"I do" Harley butted in
"Besides you" Slade said
No one else responded they just stood there in silence until Batman spoke up
"So basically we are going up against an enemy that we know nothing about, what the heck we might be able to discover the reason for this invasion when we get to this portal, lead the way Clark"
"Excellent, now if anyone wants to back out now is the time, I will not hold any grudges" Superman said looking around at his team
"Clarky I'm always behind you 100% so I'm in" Wonder Woman said giving Clark a huge kiss
Everyone else just nodded in agreement, and then it was off to start their next adventure and hopefully not their last.
