Gotham Nights
Chapter 6
I do not own Naruto or Batman (Or any other character in his story)
----------o(X)o----------
(Timeskip: 2 months)
Naruto sat in the office of his warehouse hideout and stared at what he called his 'soon to be trophy' wall. Not that he was winning a trophy or anything but it was where he was posting every headline about himself, rather it be a robbery or when he helped engineer a 'daring' prison break as revenge on Batman for the little highway incident with him rolling down the road at high speeds. He had released all but a few of the villains, namely the Joker who he had left screaming as other prisoner/patients ran by his cell door.
When Ivy asked him why he was letting them all out he asked her, 'Why should I do all the dirty work? If I'm right, the Bat duo will be having a long week catching these ingrates and I wont have to do anything else.' which made terrific sense to her.
Speaking of Poison Ivy, she and Harley had left Gotham together a few weeks ago to go on vacation after Naruto offered them the funds to do so. Mostly because they were getting on his nerves, with Harley flipping around his warehouse and breaking shit while Ivy's plants getting all lovely dovey with his, which was scary to say the least. Have you ever seen two big ass venus flytraps making out?
Last he heard from them was that Ivy had dragged Harley into the rain forests to search for some rare plant. That and probably do her thing as an eco-terrorist and murder the ones destroying the delicate ecosystems.
But unlike the former queens of crime, he wasn't having some grand adventure in the concrete jungle, he was bored out of his mind. The little robbery's were just to keep him occupied since he had nothing better to do. Batman was busy as hell trying to catch the super villains and lunatics he released from Arkham, his little worshipers were blindly following his orders like little ants, and the police were too busy trying to suppress the raising crime rates to come after him.
The doors to his warehouse base slid open and after a moment one of his personal loonies walked in with a large suitcase in hand. Standing up and walking towards the one way window he found that it was the cult leader who usually rallied the troops for him. He was a middle-aged man with sharp green eyes and dark brown, nearly black hair which he had combed back. From his files at Arkham, Naruto had found out that the man was unstable psychopath who suffered from dementia and would try to murder people for demonic rituals.
Watching from the secound floor office window, Naruto saw the man leave the suitcase on a table and leave.
While to a normal person it would seem like a bombing attempt, Naruto knew that the man didn't have the balls to do anything that stupid against him. With a puff of smoke, a shadow clone went to take care of the delivery. It was probably just another case of the money they were paying him from the drug sells on the streets.
Turning back around in his large chair in his fixed up office, curtsy of his gang, Naruto pulled out one of the few kunai he had from the other world and started carving little pictures into the table before slamming it an inch deep with a growl, "I'M SO FUCKING BORED!"

Batman and Batgirl stopped and looked around.
"You hear that Batman?" Batgirl asked looking around after hearing a faint yell in the distance.

"If your so fucking bored then why don't you go on vacation like Harley and Ivy," the clone said walking into the room while rubbing his ear with his free hand.
The kunai in the table sailed across the room and killed the clone.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Naruto wondered.
He snapped his fingers and a group of clones appeared, "Get to work, we're going on vacation!" he called with a smirk.
One of the clones whooped, "YEAH! Where are we going?" it yelled as the others looked at him with a WTF expression.
It was killed as Naruto shot it with a pistol from his desk, "I mean we as in 'me, myself, and I,' you all will be packing, NOW," he said, yelling the last part and making the clones scatter, a few of them slamming into each other as they ran.
Naruto sat back again and started to think, where would he go? He really didn't plan on leaving the city and hadn't thought about any other places. Maybe go to another city with a super hero and screw with them for awhile, hell maybe they'll have a sense of humor unlike the capes crusader.
'Hold up," he told himself, thinking back he remembered hearing about a young man getting strange powers over electricity in Detroit, Michigan... Static shock he called himself.
Naruto thought about it and grinned, oh this would be fun, But first he'd have to give Bats a little present so he wouldn't miss him too much.

Barbara Gordon, Aka Batgirl stopped once again as she patrolled the rooftops with Batman.
"Is something wrong?" he asked after noticing that she had stopped.
Batgirl shook her head, "No, it's just that I got this strange feeling that something was about to happen,"
Batman gave her a look but before he could say anything an alarm went off and he noticed a group of thieves run out of a little corner store down below, "Come on," he ordered, forgetting her strange feeling and jumping down from the roof while aiming his grappling hook.
She sighed, "I can't get any sympathiy,"

Naruto leapt across the city in search of the crime fighting duo... mostly Batgirl. Following the sounds of police sirens, he found them watching over a ledge as the police loaded up a band of bandits, each bound and gagged with rope as police carried them into the back of a police transport truck.
He walked over and stood beside them silently, joining them in watching the frenzy below.
Nether had noticed him yet, and he thought about it, 'Why wouldn't I?' he questioned himself before silently backing away and moving behind them.
"Well lets get-" Batman started only to be cut off...
By Naruto's boot connecting with his ass, sending him over the edge.
"BATMAN?" Batgirl screamed as he plummeted, catching himself on a flag pole.
She turned and nearly fell too as she saw Naruto standing there with one of his grins plastered on his face.
"Hello Batgirl," he said before grabbing the back of her head and pulling her into a deep kiss while his other hand copped a feel of her ass.
"PERVERT!" she screamed after he broke the kiss, mostly because he had felt her up, not because of the kiss which she had enjoyed,
Naruto caught her wrist as she went in for a slap and pulled her close, making her face redden as her her nose landed in the crook of his neck, giving her the best chance to catch a strong whiff of his scent.
"Oh calm down beautiful," Naruto said to her, having some fun as he messed with her. "I just came to say goodbye and that I'll miss you while I'm gone on vacation,"
Batgirl barely put up a struggle in his arms, "Vacation?" she asked with a confused voice, "Criminals go on vacation?"
He released her and thought about it, "I don't know, but I do."
By then Batman had finally made his way back up the building and gave Naruto his usual 'dark knight glare' "Uzumaki, what do you want?" he questioned.
"Oh just to say that I'll miss you while on vacation and will be thinking of you... not you Batman, I'm straight, i'll be thinking of your voluptuous partner Batgirl,"
Batman blinked, "Criminals go on vacation?" he asked while Batgirl blushed.
Naruto shrugged again, "I guess, everyone needs a break every now and again, Honestly, I just need some excitement, Gotham's going through a crime-depression so I figured that I'll go do my thing somewhere else... well I'll see you when I come back, BYE!"
With that, he left the two dumbfounded vigilantes standing on the roof and disappeared in a blur.
"Wait a minute..." Batgirl started, breaking the awkward silence, "He said 'to do his thing somewhere else', that means..."
Batman nodded, "That some other city is going to suffer a crime wave unlike they've ever known,"
"Should we do something?"
"I'll call the rest of the Justice League and warn them,"

In the watchtower orbiting the earth, J'ohn J'onzz, aka the Martian Manhunter was working at the main terminal when a call from Batman came through.
"J'ohn, is the rest of the League at the tower?" Batman said just as soon at the line went through, not even bothering to say hello or anything to the green skinned man.
"Hello to you too Batman," J'ohn said with a hint of sarcasm, "And yes we are all here today,"
"I need to tell everyone about a criminal meta-human that has recently left Gotham,"
A few minutes later, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawk girl, J'ohn, and the Flash... the founding members (Which included Batman) of the Justice League were around the screen.
"What is it Bruce?" Superman asked as they all assembled,
"Recently, Gotham's gotten another meta-human super villain to add to the list, Uzumaki Naruto, he goes by the alias Fox," Bruce said.
"How strong is this man?" the man of steel asked,
Batman frowned, "I don't know for sure, he's so tricky that you think you have him beat but then you find out that it was what he wanted you to do. The last time we fought I thought we had him beat but now I suspect that he only let us send him to Arkham so he could get a layout of the place so he could pull off the prison break not long ago, we've been trying to find and catch all the escapees,"
"So where is he now?" Diana questioned.
"That's what I wanted to warn you all about, he just informed me that he was leaving Gotham on vacation."
"Criminals go on vacation?" The Flash wondered out loud.

(Timeskip: 4 days)
Naruto stood on top of a tall building in the city of Dakota with his arms crossed and a small frown on his face. He had come to find something out about himself, he was slightly insane... or had split personalities really wasn't that much of a shock, I mean really, he tended to feel one way one day and act all serious then come the next day he would be all happy and dopy like he was the day he left. Had he turned out normal after all he had been, that would've been amazing.
Naruto hadn't been in the city long but he could tell this was a hotbed of activity, not to long ago he had seen a huge robot slam through the wall of a community center only to have Static Shock himself come and try to stop it. Funny thing is, the robot was some video game figure, but the strangest part was that he sensed a connection between the robot and a preteen with brown hair wearing a long green jacket.
Over the last two days, he had kept an eye on that kid and his stuck up older brother. He had seen the brat... Dwayne McCall, alter reality and figured that it was because of that 'Bigbang' incident that caused people to develop strange powers, or as other 'normal' people called them, 'bang-babies'. Looking down at the street, he saw the kid walking by himself and smirked, he could use a brat like him, all he had to do was build the little kids trust up.

Dwayne clutched his backpack and brooded sadly as he trudged down the street, his stepbrother had ditched him. His mom was always busy and Aaron thought he was annoying so he usually spent his time alone playing video games. Aaron had found out his secret the other day and was getting frustrated that he couldn't do things like make hundred dollar bills or a key to a nice car, then he was invited to a party and ditched him.
He turned down an alleyway and jumped as a voice from behind caught him off guard.
"Hello Dwayne,"
The boy spun around and saw a blonde teenager standing at the end wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans.
"W-who are you and how do you know my name?" Dwayne asked, slightly afraid and knowing about the dangers of being alone.
Naruto smiled, "Oh where are my manners, my name is Uzumaki Naruto and I've been watching you. I think your little reality bending power is pretty neat," he told him as nicely as he could.
"You know?" Dwayne said shocked that someone else knew, he had tried to keep it a secret.
"Of course I do," Naruto told him with a laugh, "Watch this,"
Dwayne was amazed as Naruto blurred away reappeared standing on a wall.
"COOL!" the boy cheered, "Your just like a ninja,"
"You'd be surprised kid," Naruto murmured, jumping from the wall and landing firmly on the ground, "I see that your brother left you by yourself,"
Dwayne's grin vanished, "He got invited to a stupid party and said I wasn't old enough to go,"
Naruto put on a sympathetic face, "That's too bad Dwayne, but what are you doing out alone?"
"My mom doesn't get off of work for awhile and she gave Aaron the spare key, so I have to wait for one of them to come home first." the boy said dejectedly.
"Well, tell you what," Naruto said squatting down to the boy, "I was thinking about going to arcade, you can come with me if you want and play some games, I'll even take you home when your mom gets off work,"
Dwayne wasn't sure, "I don't know..."
"I can show you some cool ninja tricks," Naruto said with a convincing tone.
Dwayne grinned, "What are we waiting for?"
Naruto smirked, "Al' right, let me show you something cool," he turned and knelt down, "Jump on my back and hold on tight,"

"So what's up Virgil, you think of a way to tell Dwayne that his brother is using him?" a teen with short blonde hair asked, fixing his glasses as he walked next to his best friend.
Virgil sighed, "Man, I don't know Richie, Dwayne don't want to believe it... He doesn't want to think that his brother is using him,"
"Well we have to think of something, Dwayne can't keep robbing places for Aaron." Richie said as they walked through the doors to the newly rebuilt community center.
Virgil looked around and saw his father working in his office, "Hey pops, is Dwayne here?"
Robert Hawkins was a dark skinned, heavyset man. he wore glasses and had short hair unlike his son. His clothing usually consisted of a light blue button up shirt with a pair of darker blue pants.
"No he hasn't showed up today son," Robert told him while typing on his computer.
"Yo Richie, this isn't good. No telling what might happen to him, we have to find him," Virgil whispered to his friend as not to alarm his dad and set off a whole citywide search.

(Timeskip: 3 hours)
"COOL!"
Naruto leapt from building to building at high speeds with Dwayne riding piggyback, they had went and played almost every game in the arcade ten times and spent almost 100 bucks on the games, snacks, and drinks. Then he offered to take him home by rooftop, which Dwayne had agreed to excitedly.
By the time Naruto had the boy home, Dwayne was almost ready to try and get Naruto and his mom together as to make Naruto his new dad. Even though Naruto was young, everyone needed a father figure... too bad for the kid though, Naruto was the last person for a kid to look up to.
"Is this the place?" Naruto asked, landing on the sidewalk in front of a project.
Dwayne let go of him and dropped to his feet, "Yeah, thanks for the lift Naruto, see you later,"
With that, the boy ran off waving over his shoulder and disappeared into the building, never noticing the demonic, toothy grin on the blondes face.
"Hmm," he exclaimed, "It almost pains me to twist the little munch-kin to committing crimes... but then again, he did spend the most of my money tonight."
He pat his wallet and hummed, 'Feeling a little thin... seems like I need to make a withdraw soon,' he thought after realizing that he had left almost every bit of his money locked up in a hidden safe back in Gotham.
YATTA! Almost 100 reviews in for one chapter! A new personal best. PLEASE keep 'em coming.
Anyway, I went with the static shock crossover first and for anyone wondering which episode I started on, it's number seven titled Child's play. So anyone whose watched it knows how this'll play out, it's mostly Naruto replacing his stepbrother (Maybe even beating the shit out of him) and doing a better job of manipulating the kid.
Also, I'm sorry if parts of it seem rushed, I've got finals soon and have to study at least a little bit.
