Gotham Nights

Chapter 5

I do not own Naruto or Batman (Or any other character in his story)

----------o(X)o----------

Harley groaned painfully as she leaned back and rubbed her head. Felling something wet she pulled her hand back and noticed blood on her hand.

"Blood...?" she questioned, "Wh... what happened?"

Batgirl jumped from the batmobile and ran to the car with Batman right behind her. He ran passed to check on Naruto while she helped Harley and Veronica. Reaching the front door she saw Veronica out cold in the back seat her chest moving up and down at a steady rate. Opening the door, she quickly caught Harley as she started to fall out.

"Bat... babe?" Harley asked through her blurry vision.

"Shhh... don't talk, every things going to be ok. We're going to get you some help." She cooed hoping to keep her from moving.

Harley shook her head, "Is... is Veronica ok... I never meant to hurt her... I... I just..."

"Stop talking Harley, she's fine." Batgirl said holding the large cut on Harley's forehead that was caused by the glass shattering, "Your head's bleeding pretty bad, I need you to be still to keep it from opening any worse. Wait here while I help Veronica"

Harley kept still but slowly went in and out of consciousness, her head lolled to the side where she saw a familiar blonde blur off in the distance with Batman kneeling beside him quickly doing something that she couldn't see.

"Foxy?" she called softly trying to move towards him, catching Batgirls attention.

Batgirl stopped her and held her down, "Harley I said don't move."

"Then at least tell me if he's all right." Harley asked with tears in her eyes.

Batgirl looked over to Batman who was doing compression's on the blondes chest, after a few times he felt the boys neck before turning to her with a frown. When he shook his head slowly, she looked back down at Harley who saw the whole exchange with teary eyes before passing out.

Bruce cursed himself for not thinking his actions through. He was surpassed to protect people, both good and bad but due to his actions Uzumaki Naruto was close to death if not already dead. Out of all the other villains in gotham, Fox... or Naruto was the only one who he really respected and believed in.

He didn't know why but he just felt that Naruto could change for the better, as crazy as it was. Even after all the crimes he had committed he still felt that the blonde superhuman could change. After all, no one had died by the blondes hand and it was usually one of his thugs' fault if anyone had gotten hurt, not his.

Unable to feel a pulse, he quickened his pace.

'Who the fuck is trying to crush my ribs?' Naruto wondered to himself as he allowed his chakra to quickly heal all the scrapes and injuries he had gotten just moments ago. Opening one of his eyes he saw Batman beside him looking over to Batgirl and shaking his head.

Striking up with one of his legs, Naruto surprised Batman by kicking him in the face and knocking off his feet and onto his back with a groan.

Naruto rolled over and staggered to his feet, ignoring the shocked looks that everyone gave him. His hair shadowed his eyes but his wide toothy grin was visible for the world to see.

"That was..." the sound of multiple bones popping into place echoed over the chaos while he jerked slightly in his shoulders signifying that they had been snapped out of joint. "... fun." he finished before looking up, shocking everyone with the sight of his ruby red gaze.

He stopped for a secound with a look of discomfort on his face before looking down to see his foot bent to an awkward direction, far too much to the left for it to be natural. Bending down he went to pop it back into place but notice that his middle finger was bent back and twisted. Naruto used his other hand and forced himself to make a fist which reset his broken bone before fixing his foot with a sickening crunch.

With everything fixed and chakra coursing through his body to repair anything else, he took a step towards the dynamic duo who instinctively took a step back. He grinned even harder before remembering his fellow blonde and frowning as he saw her on the ground with a small trail of blood dripping from her forehead. He didn't have time to play with the two Bats right now, he needed to get Harley, Veronica, and both the hyenas out of here before they suffered anymore damage.

"This isn't over Bat, if my friend suffers because of this I'll make your life so fucking miserable that you'll kill yourself," He growled at them before blurring passed them with a burst of speed, leaving nothing but after images and Bruce's wrecked car.

Batgirl blinked beneath her mask as did Batman, "Ok... that went better than I thought it would... I mean, at least he didn't try to kill us,"

"Something's not right." Batman said seemingly not hearing Batgirl.

"Yeah, Naruto and Harley are working together now," She shot while walking with Batman towards the car, "And he took Veronica with him."

"No... Harley's just confused and scared of going back to Arkham. Just before all this happened, I tried to help her but heard her asking Fox for help on the phone." He replied jumping into the drivers seat.

Batgirl jumped into the passenger seat and looked at him with a confused frown, "So... Naruto is just trying to help her?"

Batman nodded, "That's what I'm thinking," he stated before rubbing his jaw, "He's got a mean kick too,"

Harley groaned as she came to. Opening her her eyes she found herself laying on a small army cot against a concrete wall. She was in a small room that looked like an old office. Rubbing her head she winced as she touched the bandages right over a tender spot.

"Ow," she squeaked just as the door opened.

"Harley!"

She looked over to see Veronica walking over with a small smile. "What are you doing here kid?" she asked looking at the girl.

Veronica shrugged, "I don't really know, I just woke up here while Naruto was bandaging you up."

"Where are we?" Harley asked sitting up.

"I really don't know, he said that I wasn't allowed to leave the offices without an escort, probably to keep me from running and giving away his 'hideout'," Veronica said with a small giggle, "Not that I'd have to, I mean, I saw how big this place was."

Harley threw the covers off and gasped as she found herself dressed in a large white shirt and her panties. "Where are my clothes?" she said loudly, covering herself back up.

"Right here"

The two women turned around quickly to find Naruto walking in carrying a pair of outfits one was her red and black clown suit while another was some civilian clothes. "I took the liberty of fixing your suit and bringing you some extra clothes I had laying around."

Harley took a secound and looked over to Veronica and noticed that she was no longer wearing her black and white sun dress but was now wearing a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt.

Veronica saw the look and shrugged, "At first I thought he was stupid for giving me these but they are extremely comfortable,"

Naruto walked in and dropped the clothing on the desk in the corner. "You might want to hold on on moving for a little bit Harley, you've both been out for a few hours."

"No," Harley said firmly, "I need to get out of Gotham and lay low-"

"Where would you go?" Naruto asked harshly, crossing his arms and giving her a stern glare. "Your a certified nut-so wanted in seven different states. Your not that hard to track down and you, for some reason I have yet to understand, are madly in love with a psychotic clown who abuses you."

Harley looked down and Naruto rubbed his forehead, "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but the cold hard truth is, you need to just let Veronica go and turn yourself in, that would show the doctors that you are really trying to turn your life around,"

Harley nodded, "Yeah I guess your right Foxy..." she said in a defeated voice.

"Look ah... Harley," Veronica spoke up, "I kinda had fun... even though I was scared most of the time me, I'm going to drop the charges,"

Naruto gave a small smile at the blondes bright eyes. "Now come on and get dressed, I'll be waiting downstairs."

When Harley and Veronica slowly made their way down the metal stairs, they found themselves surrounded by large green metal crates around three feet high and five feet long. Each had a latch and a lock on the top with a serial number written in black paint. Off to the side, was a dull black convertible, slightly larger than Bruce Wayne's, beyond it, Naruto was typing on a small desktop computer

Sensing the two females, he cut the power to the monitor and turned around. "Took long enough." he muttered before turning to them, "Your 'babies are asleep over in the corner, I'll take care of them for you while this mess gets sorted out." he said, knowing that she was going to ask.

Pulling a set of keys from his pocket, he held them up and shook them "Feel like driving?" he asked them.

Veronica gave him a 'Are you serious?' look and Harley grinned.

Naruto once again found himself being crushed by Veronica in the back seat of his car. He felt like slapping himself for letting the girl drive, It really wasn't her fault, just the idiots who recognized her and chased her. One being a pissed off mobster driving a stolen fish truck, another was a large detective who wrecked his car because of them and finally a fucking tank driven by Veronica's father.

"Don't you have anything to stop a tank?" Harley cried out as she sped down the road.

Naruto thought about it for a secound before smirking, "As a matter of fact, I might." he said before prying the redhead of him and depositing her into the front. He then proceeded to pop the back cushion off and reach into the trunk.

"Found it!" he yelled.

Both Harley and Veronica turned and gaped at the sight. Leaning against the back of the front seat, Naruto propped a long green tube on his shoulder while aiming down a small scope and fingering a trigger.

"Where did you get a bazooka!" they both yelled, making him look over his shoulder and smirk at them,

"Well, the Army really shouldn't leave their toys out around a person like me." He said before turning back to the scope and standing to get a better shot at the tank.

Veronica gasped and pulled him back down, "YOU CAN'T SHOOT MY FATHER!" she screamed just before the thing went off, sending a rocket flying into the air.

Laying between them on his back, his feet over the cushion. Naruto turned his head toward her and gave her a hard stare. "That my dear, is not your father... that's your father, IN A TANK" he growled.

Naruto pulled himself back into the back seat before sliding the empty weapon back into the trunk and closing the opening back up before turning around and crossing his arms, giving his vision of a pout.

Giving a small sigh, he turned and opened the car door, Propping it open with his shoulder, he stuck his head out and channeled his ice powers into a ball before tossing it behind the car and causing the whole road to freeze over, sending all three cars sliding across the asphalt.

The convertible pulled over in an alleyway and Harley cut the engine.

"Well that went well," Naruto said sarcastically, jumping out of the back seat with a small frown. Slightly annoyed with the red head for messing up his shot with the bazooka, not like he was aiming to kill, just blow the tank off it's tracks and immobilize it.

"This is where you get out Veronica," Naruto told her, opening the door for her.

Veronica gave him a look, "Your just leaving me here?" she asked from the front seat.

Naruto took her hand and pulled her out of the car, "I would think that you would be happy to escape from our evil clutches," the blond said with a frown, "Besides both you and clown girl here are too much trouble together,"

"HEY!"

Naruto shot Harley a look, "Now Harley don't you even try to deny it, you don't even have to start trouble, it finds you." he told her making her blush.

Naruto shut the door and walked around to the driver side where Harley was sitting, "Slid over,"

Harley slid over and he jumped behind the wheel, "Here," he called, digging through his pockets and pulling out one of those prepaid cell phones that were hard to track. "Use that to call someone to pick you up,"

He cranked the engine and revved it,

"Hey don't you want this back?" Veronica yelled, holding the phone up.

Naruto shook his head, "No you keep it, we're getting the hell out of here."

Veronica sighed as the car shot off, at least Fox had left her in a good neighborhood with a phone to call the police.

Naruto and Harley road in silence, Harley thought about how her fellow blond was protecting her. Helping her while risking his own ass. Naruto thought about how to help Harley dodge the police and the Batman, he could take care of himself easily unlike her.

"Thanks Foxy," Harley said after they drove a few miles.

"Don't mention it Harley,"

Later that night, Batman landed on the rooftop of Gotham PD and looked around, the bat signal was on but no one was there, usually the commissioner was there to tell him something very important but strangely he wasn't.

Suddenly the door burst open and Commissioner Gordon rushed out onto the roof with his service pistol in hand.

"Batman?" Gordon said with a shocked tone as he holstered the gun, "What's going on here?"

Batman looked around, "I don't know commissioner, I thought you turned on the signal,"

"Actually..." Naruto said in a icy tone, "I did,"

He walked out from the shadows like a ninja and gave them both a cold stare.

"Fox?" the two crime fighters said in shock, turning to face the villain and preparing themselves for a fight.

"Don't look so surprised Batman, I told you this wasn't over." He said while crossing his arms.

"So your here to fight, is that it?" Gordon asked while his hand inched towards his pistol.

Naruto smirked, "Actually, believe it or not, I have no reason to fight you, not yet anyway." the blonde spoke, "My friend Harley, she's agreed to turn herself in and you know as good as I do that she hasn't done anything that should send her back to Arkham,"

"She destroyed public and private property, ran from the police, and kidnapped the daughter of an army general," Gordon listed, "If that doesn't warrant a trip to Arkham I don't know what does,"

"She was just released from Arkham, she was terrified of being sent back and Ms. Veronica has already forgiven her and wont press charges. Besides, her father tried to kill us with a tank, not only that but had he done so it would've killed Veronica too. And for the destruction of property... I did it, and if you try to pin it on her then I promise that a few broken windows, busted cars, and messed up roads will be the least of your problems, I'll destroy everything you love,"

The two stood there shaking, the super villain in front of them not only admitted to committing those crimes but threatened their family and friends. Not only did it scare them but the fact that he could easily do it filled them with dread... but what cemented their fear was when his eyes glowed red.

"Now..." Naruto started, "You are going to tell the media that Harley is innocent and no charges will be filed, if you have to blame me, Harley deserves her freedom and as long as she's my friend I wont let you take that from her."

Naruto looked at the pair for a secound then nodded, "Harley is waiting for you in your office commissioner, have a pleasant evening," With that said, Naruto leaped over the edge.

Rushing over, Batman and Gordon looked over and halfway expected to see the blonde splatter on the concrete but saw only a empty alley.

With a sigh, Gordon walked over and shut the bat signal off. "I don't know about you but I don't plan on getting on his bad-" he looked around and sighed, "Great, he disappears too. Look like a idiot talking to myself,"

I've finally got my shit togethor and finished this chapter, sorry for taking so long it's just that I couldn't find the will to continue. Anyway, I'm planning on having Naruto leave Gotham sometime and have another superhero come to Gotham in a later chapter so if you really want this to continue, you must answer these questions.
