Her many Faces

Summary: The Girl abducts the Boy Wonder. Will the Team save him from her in this final confrontation?

Gotham City

October 5, 00:16 EDT

In some abandoned warehouse somewhere in this city…..

"Mmmmph! Mmmmph!", Robin groans as he struggles to get off the bonds of duct tape that keeps his arms spread out and tied to a metal pole. His legs were also wrapped in duct tape and his shirt was taken off. His domino mask was still in his face, she didn't take it off. That's a good thing. But why?

"I'm sorry that I had to tie you up like this Robin. Half of me wants to make sure that you won't get out of this, and half of me likes to watch you squirm like this." The Girl was still dressed in her suit that makes her associated with the Penguin. She was holding a knife, playfully twisting it around her fingers.

"What should I do with you?" said the Girl nonchalantly, "I could just kill you now, you know." She holds the knife up to his throat. "But killing a pretty boy like you….it's a crime." She pulls off the duct tape gag off his mouth.

Robin coughs and struggles to breathe again. He was having difficulty breathing through his nose when he was gagged.

"…Why…*cough* are you?" asked Robin in a weak yet audible voice.

"….Well…..I can't hide who I really am now, can I? " says the Girl. She removes the top hat she wears and pulls out the wig off her head. Her hair is red. She finally says who she really is, "I am…Duela Dent….I am Two-Face's daughter."

Mount Justice

Red Arrow was with Wally in the Infirmary. While he recovered he offered to stay with Roy who was unconscious.

"Why are we still here? Why aren't we off to rescue Robin?" asked Artemis frustratingly.

"Batman called us here." replied Aqualad.

The Computer of Mount Justice announces the arrival of Batman. As he walks to the Team, they feel a sense of order and terror.

"I've located where Robin is, he is at an abandoned warehouse in Gotham City. I'm sending you the coordinates of his location and I want you all to rescue him."

Batman then walks away into the Zeta Beam leaving the Team a little bit confused.

"Isn't he going to come with us to rescue his protégé?" asked Zatanna.

"It appears Batman trusts us to rescue him." replied Aqualad.

"Sure…" said Artemis, " Hey guys let's play a game on who's gonna spot Batman at the warehouse watching how we rescue Robin."

"We must go now, who knows what this Girl is doing to Robin!" said M'gann, she summons the Bioship.

"Everyone get going!"

Gotham City

"Why do this Duela?" asked Robin. He was shocked. What she said was true. She is indeed Two-Face's daughter, but she wasn't a criminal like her dad. And how on earth did she manage to pull all this off? Stalking and taking down each of the Team. He wanted to ask her so many questions.

"Okay, so this is the part where I go through this monologue about how I did all this.." She takes and holds the knife to her left sleeve and begins cutting the left side of her suit. She then takes a can of red paint and begins spraying over the left side of her suit. Emulating her father's appearance.

"As you probably know, before daddy became Two-Face, he was a decent man. He helped in bringing back Gotham City back to order. And then Joker came and took us hostage. Batman came to rescue us…but, he did nothing, he just stood there and watched…..dad's face was…..melting right in front of me…and he was just. Watching. He still stood there when Joker…took mom away. Why?"

There was anguish on her eyes, that her mother and father were taken away from her and yet fury etched on her face, over the fact that Batman just stood there, when he could have brought her family back to her." Tell me why he just stood there!"

She chokes Robin, and he struggles to breathe and starts thrashing on his bonds. She then lets go of him and he coughs and tries to breathe again.

"He's got a good reason for doing that!" replied Robin in defense of Batman's action, but exactly why did Batman just stood there while all this happened? It's not him, too just stand and watch something horrible like that take place.

"You know why? Because he knew he was useless. All this, trying to stop crime, it's all useless. You know why? Cause crime will always be there. When Batman took the Falcone family down, Joker came, and when he was stopped, Dad came and so did I."

"You still didn't tell me why you did this?" said Robin.

"To prove to you that your little Team can do nothing, to stop crime."

"And what about your little tricks? You surely didn't got those bombs and weapons on eBay."

"Borrowed a few stuff from daddy's vault. And the moves, learned them from a friend."

As she turns around she can see the Bioship approaching. "Ah! Your friends are here. I'll just go get the door for them."

The Bioship arrives at the warehouse and the Team gets out of the ship and rushes into the warehouse. As they approach the warehouse, a grenade was thrown through the window of the warehouse but as it approaches, Zatanna chants: "Edanerg snrut otni na elppa!" The explosive turns into a harmless fruit.

Duela was at the door and points the sonic gun at them. Artemis fires an arrow at her but she dodges it and fires the gun.

A wave of sound deafens the whole Team. Superboy got it worse due to his superhearing. While they are stunned Duela throws another grenade once again and it lands right infront of them.

As the Team were able to regain their equilibrium, the grenade explodes but M'gann was able to contain the explosion with her telekinesis. Superboy was unconscious and M'gann tries to help him.

Aqualad, Artemis and Zatanna went on ahead into the warehouse. Duela aims the sonic gun at them, but before she could pull the trigger, Aqualad grabs the gun by forming a whip with his water bearers and crushes it.

Artemis fires a taser arrow at Duela but she once again grabs it in midair and sticks into into Aqualad, tasing him instead.

Zatanna sneaks past the fight and rushes to Robin. "Eitnu mih" Robin was untied and he falls to the floor. Zatanna then carries him up and tries to use some of her energy to heal him.

Artemis and Duela started brawling. Trading fists and kicks. Artemis found some of her moves familiar, even when they first fought. Duela manages to plant a kick in her gut and Artemis staggers down.

Duela then turns to Zatanna and Robin and pulls a gun from her suit and aims at them but then her gun was snatched from her hand and it was floating in the air. She turned back and saw M'gann's green eyes staring at her.

Superboy jumps behind her and tugs her tightly, holding her in place. M'gann then focuses her mind powers and unleashes a mind blast that knocks her out temporaily.

Duela, Two-Face's daughter, was finally taken down.

Gotham City

October 5, 01:32 EDT

Duela was still unconcoius when the police came to apprehend her. She was to be taken to Arkham Asylum. There may be a possibility that she too had gone insane, traumatized by her mother's demise and her father's scarring taking place infront of her.

"You did a good job," said Batman. "It's late, go home. I'll take it from here."

The Team went back to the Cave and went on their ways from there.

Wayne Manor

October 5, 04:16 EDT

Robin was at the Batcave, recovering. As Batman went to check on him, he asked him, "Batman, why did you just stood there when Joker took the Dent Family down?"

Batman replied, "I had no choice, it was Joker's plan to make me watch this. He said if I tried to stop him he will destroy Gotham City with all the explosives he placed. He tried to make me believe that stopping him was pointless."

"Is it pointless Batman? Is stopping crime pointless?" Robin asked.

"Heroes exist to stop crime no matter what. Even if it returns we have to stop it. It isn't pointless."

As Batman left him so he could rest, Robin sighs and rests, so that he could fight again.

The End.

Note: I know, this is a bit rushed. Please forgive me if the ending of this fic is a bit disappointing. Please gimme some reviews and tell me if I ended this story well. As you know ending a story isn't my forte.
