MY POV

I stared in wonder at the marvelous weapons until Lara suddenly reached out.

"What the hell are you doing?" I snapped pulling her arm back. Lara gave me a "duh!" expression and said, "Dude, you realize we can take these and use them against Joker and his goons?"

"No, that didn't occur to me. Alright ladies, suit up!" We each got ourselves paintball guns, Lara's paint was neon green, Dawn's a blood red, and mine a bright pink. We placed safety goggles on, and snatched up some protective vests and black gloves.

"It's time, to fulfill our destinies!" I yelled, "I never thought it would come. One moment I'm an awkward teenager the next-"

"Juliana, please shut up and get a move on," Dawn deadpanned from the doorway. I raced after her and Lara running down the halls when I spotted a door to our left.

"There!" I cried pointing. I opened it to find a pantry. "Oops! Wrong door!" I said closing it. We found several other doors; one held a bunch of crates, another was empty, and one had one of Joker's minions inside playing Tetris.

"Huh," once I closed the door, "that was odd." We continued down the hall when we found one last door. This was the door; we could all feel it within ourselves. Or, we knew because we could hear a bunch of crashes, yelling, and hysterical laughter from the other side. We looked at each other and nodded, and I reached out for the doorknob.


ROBIN'S POV

I panted as I ran toward Judy. I was getting tired, and my form getting a bit sloppy. I saw Batman taking care of Punch and then started to move on to Joker, when a bunch of men with pipes, clubs, and guns appeared. I ducked Judy's oncoming fist and landed a roundhouse kick to his face and ran to join Batman.

"So, who do I take out? The guys with guns?" I said hopeful Batman would give me a more challenging assignment.

"No."

"The pipe guys?"

"No."

"The club guys?" I desperate to help take them down, but nope, that wasn't the case. Again.

"Tie up Punch and Judy. I'll handle these guys" Batman ordered. I sighed. I wanted some excitement when fighting Joker, is that too much to ask?

Apparently not, for that moment the door burst open, revealing Juliana, Lara, and Dawn, armed with paintball guns.

Lara aimed her gun and said in a low voice, "Hasta la vista, baby," and began shooting like crazy, Juliana and Dawn following suit.

"I have to warn you," Juliana shouted, "I have no experience or have any idea what I'm doing!" She kicked one of Jokers minions in the gut saying, "Man, you are one sad human being."

Juliana advanced using her gun more like a club then an actual gun, which was odd, but it was working pretty well.

She approached Joker and they stared each other off, circling each other.

"Well, Batsy got some new recruits!" Joker cackled. "How cute!"

"I'm flattered," Dawn replied, "Not sure your girlfriend would be too happy to hear that. She seems like the jealous type."

Joker seemed surprised at the comeback but grinned and laughed.

"Well look at you! Actually having a sense of humor!" He marveled.

"You know Joker, I've been wondering," Dawn said "you work so hard to destroy Gotham, but you're supposed to a carefree, insane, maniac right?"

Joker (and Robin. And Batman) didn't see where this was going.

"Right." Joker said, still grinning but on-guard now.

"Then I must ask," Dawn responded, raising her gun to point it at Joker, "why so serious?" Then began shooting like crazy, pelting him with bright pink paint. After a few minutes of shooting non-stop, Joker was down for the count. I turned to Lara and Dawn and saw they had taken down everyone else. I heard police sirens in the distance when Dawn spoke up.

"Uh, can we leave before Harley and these guys wake up? I'm kinda out of paint."

"Me too!" Lara chimed in.

"Me three!" Juliana followed. Batman finally seemed to get over his shock (Man, it took him forever!) and started walking towards the BatBike when Lara said, "Alright, it's cool, we'll just take the Batmobile back to the Batcave."

Batman stopped. No one drives (coughtouchescough) the Batmobile.

"What?" he said frigidly.

"We have the Batmobile parked out front," Dawn told him.

"How do you think we got here?" Juliana asked. "Used our magical fairy wings and flew? Use your head, Batman!"

I saw Batman's right eye twitch. That can't be good. He took a deep breath and gave out commands.

"Juliana go with Robin on the R-Cycle-"

"YES!"

"Lara and Dawn are coming with me in the Batmobile."

"What about the BatBike?"

"I'll use auto pilot."

They shrugged and Lara and Dawn followed Batman while Juliana followed me to the R-Cycle. I gave her a helmet and we boarded when I asked,

"What's "Teen Titan" Robin, and who's Starfire?"

"Uhh…"
