PsykoReaper: NO...AUSTRIAN...MR. FREEZE!!! Prepare for the winter...of REVENGE!!!
Dick woke up and got up, he put on his clothes and walked to the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and walked out. He heard someone come in.
"Alfred?" asked Dick.
"Yes, it is Alfred, feeling good today, yes?" he asked as he came in and put some clothes on the bed.
"Yeah, Alfred, about yesterday..." said Dick.
"Oh, yes, you found out Bruce Wayne's secret life," said Alfred.
"I can't believe that Bruce Wayne is Batman," said Dick. "I know, but don't mention it around Bruce, he never wanted anyone else know his secret," said Alfred.
"Why would he keep it from me?" asked Dick.
"He adopted you because he never wanted you to grow up like him, fighting an unwinnable forever, and now that you know, it might just as well happen," said Alfred.
"I just don't want to be worthless, just wait on the sides and let someone fight my fights," said Dick.
"Well, things in this world will come to pass, and it will reveal your fate...someday," said Alfred, he then turned around and left.
In a freezer in a building, a five-foot figure sat on a chair, he was pale white, icy blue eyes, white pajamas, looked around his early twenties, and white hair. He looked at a necklace with these words, "N.B. & V.F. Forever!"
He then dropped the necklace, and walked over to a seven foot-tall black armored suit with glass tubes on its shoulders, back, wrists, and one on where the head should be.
He got behind the suit and connected tubes on its back, which were connected to a black two-foot long gun with a nozzle and a razor at the bottom of it on a table.
He turned a hatch on the collar of the suit and the suit opened up. He put on red goggles and got in the suit.
He pushed a button on the suit to make it closed, which also he activated the suit, which made everything in the suit below zero degrees, making his head look like a shadowed figure with red eyes. He grabbed the gun with his left hand and walked out of the freezer.
The figure walked to a diamond shop wall, he then aimed his gun at the wall, he then pulled the trigger, but bullets did not come out.
Instead, a ray of frozen air came out and froze the wall. He then punched the wall, it came tumbling down.
He then walked in. "W-what's going on here!?" yelled the clerk.
The figure aimed the gun at the clerk and pulled the trigger. He froze the clerk to death at the spot. He then punched the clerk's body, shattering it into little meat pieces.
He then punched the glass and pulled up some diamonds. "This will fund my research, and soon, she will be with me once more…"
The figure climbed out of the diamond shop, with his diamonds in a compartment in his suit on his wrist, where three police cars met him.
"Hold it right there, mister!" yelled a police officer.
"It's Freeze, Mr. Freeze!"
He then shot the gun and the ray froze the cars, he walked past the cops, as they shot his bulletproof armor. He froze the ground of the road and stomped on it. The road crumbled as a path to the sewers, he then walked through the sewers to his home.
"Damn fools, they will feel my revenge after all this!" growled Mr. Freeze.
As Mr. Freeze walked across the sewers, he saw someone; he looked again to see Batman. "What do you want?" asked Mr. Freeze in a growly tone.
Batman then threw batarangs at Mr. Freeze, but they were deflected by the black armor. Mr. Freeze pointed the gun at the water and fired. Batman jumped and held onto some pipes as the water froze. Batman fell onto the ice, where he stood like it was never there.
"How can you stand so gracefully in ice?" asked Mr. Freeze.
He then raised his foot from the ice, crushing it as he pulled his feet up. "These boots have a special grip that can stay on ice," said Batman.
"It will be in vain, Batman!" growled Mr. Freeze.
He then fired the gun at Batman, but Batman jumped above it and kicked Mr. Freeze in the face, but it only knocked him back a few steps. When he stepped on the ice, it cracked, making a footstep for him to hold on to.
"With this suit, Batman, I am strong AND indestructible!" growled Mr. Freeze.
"I did leave a little crack on your head, didn't I?" asked Batman.
Mr. Freeze looked to see it true, a little crack, not enough to break through was there. He glared at Batman and rushed at him with the blade part of his gun ready to cleave flesh.
Alfred sat at the computer, watching through Batman's eyes and listening to the fight. He then looked to see Dick in the cave.
"Master Grayson, you should not be here," said Alfred.
"I know, but I had to look in here...one last time," said Dick.
Alfred then heard a noise which made him quiver. He looked to see what has happened...
"I…win…"
Batman was stabbed in the side by Mr. Freeze's gun-blade. He then kicked Batman off, sending him to the ice.
"You are a terrible fool, Batman, a terrible fool," said Mr. Freeze.
He then grabbed Batman's head and dragged him deep into the sewers. "Where...are you taking...me?" asked Batman.
"To my home, Bat, so that I may exterminate you," said Mr. Freeze. Batman's vision became blurry, he then blacked out.
"Master Wayne!? Master Wayne!?" called out Alfred, but all he got was static.
"Is...he okay?" asked Dick.
"I...I don't know, I knew this vigilante foolishness was a terrible idea, all from the start..." said Alfred, he put his hand on his head and sighed, he then shed a tear.
"Alfred?" asked Dick.
"He...he's been like a son to me, Dick, I don't know how I could help him..." said Alfred.
Dick thought, he wondered if HE could save Batman, that he can help him in his fight with darkness and evil, he then looked at Alfred.
"Alfred, does Bruce have a tracker on himself?" asked Dick.
Batman woke up, leaning on a wall, he saw himself in a room. He saw Mr. Freeze in front of a large tube with a female figure in it. Batman tried to get up, but his wound made him go back down.
Mr. Freeze then turned to him. "Do you wish to know my story, Batman?" asked Mr. Freeze.
"All I know is that you are an insane monster with a taste for ice and diamonds," said Batman.
"That is not true, Batman, I was once a college student, a college student named Victor Fries, who was the smartest student in school, who fell in love with a girl, named Nora Belpois, she understood me when no one else could, we were in love, but the cruel hand of fate did a terrible decision...a virus known as Sheets' Syndrome afflicted her, there was no cure for her..." said Mr. Freeze.
"Did she die, Freeze?" asked Batman.
"She's right here, with us," said Mr. Freeze.
Batman then realized that the figure was Nora Belpois, connected to wires and tubes. "Oh my god, what did you do?" asked Batman.
"I put her in stasis, but doing so, I was stealing college money, after a few weeks, I was close to the cure, but the campus police came and tried to stop my work...heartless bastards, my heart my be cold as ice, but I am not heartless..." growled Mr. Freeze.
"What did they do?" asked Batman.
"They attempted to stop my work, by confiscating EVERYTHING! All that I have worked for, LOST!!! I then took one of their guns, and shot them dead, but I tripped on a vial on the floor, and fell into some chemicals that got all over my body, it turned me into this, I cannot go into the sunlight without dying of heatstroke, cannot eat warm food, cannot hold the hand of a loved one," said Mr. Freeze.
"Wait, was the college you came from...Griffin's Campus?" asked Batman.
"Yes, and to answer your other question, I did set of a nitrogen bomb into the campus cafeteria, police office, and headmaster's quarters," said Mr. Freeze.
"Why?" asked Batman.
"To show them what happens when you mess with ones true love, like you were doing as well, I needed those diamonds to pay Carmine Falcone for more chemicals for the experiment, and you will pay for trying to ruin everything," growled Mr. Freeze. He then pointed the gun at Batman.
"This is not what Nora would want!" growled Batman.
"What she does not know...won't hurt her," said Mr. Freeze.
Then, a batarang came and hit the side of Mr. Freeze's helm, it let a small scratch. He looked to see a fourteen year old boy wearing a black jacket, black shirt, black pants, black boots, and a black ski mask with red goggles.
"Who are you?" asked Mr. Freeze.
"Not important, Freeze!" growled the boy. He then pulled out a metal staff and rushed at Mr. Freeze but he punched him to the wall, landing next to Batman, he then ran out.
"What do you think you are doing!" growled Batman.
"Helping your ass, Bruce!" growled Dick.
"Stupid kid! No one helps me!" growled Batman as he got up. He limped to the door; he then fell on his knee. "You are in no shape to take Freeze alone, Bruce!" yelled Dick as he ran out of the room.
"Dick!!" yelled out Batman.
Dick followed Mr. Freeze to the roof. When he got to the roof, Mr. Freeze froze the door shut, leaving only Mr. Freeze and Dick.
"Little robin, you do not know who you are dealing with!" growled Mr. Freeze.
"Sure I do, I am messing with a cold hearted monster!" growled Dick. He rushed at Mr. Freeze with all his might.
He shot his freeze ray at Dick as he ran at him, but Dick kept on jumping out of the way.
He finally got to Mr. Freeze and wacked his staff at the side of Mr. Freeze's helm, making a bunch of cracks and cold air coming out minimally.
"You will pay for that, you little roach!" roared Mr. Freeze.
He then fired his gun at Dick's feet; he froze them to the ground.
Dick tried to pull them off, but the ice was too strong. He grabbed a batarang and attempted to pick off the ice.
Mr. Freeze was already in front of him, when he got off the first foot.
He raised his gun to slice Dick in half. "Brat, I am going to snuff the life out of you!" he growled.
Then, Batman rammed through the frozen door and fell to the ground, but not before throwing a black egg. It landed on Mr. Freeze's helm, but it was not full of crushed glass, but a black ink.
"AAARGH!!! I CANNOT SEE!!!" roared Mr. Freeze as he tried to remove the ink with his robotic hands, but to no avail.
He then tripped on a pipe, his helm fell on a ledge and it broke his helm into millions of little pieces.
Mr. Freeze tried to get up, but the heat was crippling for him. He tried to get up, but fell on his back on the roof.
Batman limped to him, next to his head, where he can look at him in the eyes. "Go ahead, you bastard, kill me…" growled Mr. Freeze.
"You should now me better, I will do what I can for your wife, but you have to go to Arkham Asylum, so that you can go back to her fully functional, not like this…"
Dick sat at the cave with a smile of pride. "How was it?" asked Alfred.
"Awesome, I never felt that sort of rush before, and I won, we both did!" laughed Dick. They both saw Batman come in and sit at the computer
"So, when are we gonna fight crime again?" asked Dick.
"Never, you will stay at home, you are grounded," growled Batman, without looking at him.
"What? You cannot ground me, you are not my father!" growled Dick.
"Here is your punishment, you will never help me with my work EVER again!" growled Batman.
"But, you can't, I finally have a purpose, don't you see that!?" growled Dick.
"You may think it is your purpose, but it is not, you have better things to do!" growled Batman.
"WHY WON'T YOU LOOK AT ME!?!?" yelled Dick.
Batman was silent. "Our conversation is over, Dick, go to bed," growled Batman.
Dick stomped out of the cave, angry that Batman did not acknowledge him for saving his life.
"Master Wayne, how could you treat the boy like that?" asked Alfred.
"You know why I adopted him, so does he, and it will keep that way!" growled Batman.
"You are going to deny a boy of his destiny?" asked Alfred.
"To save him, yes," said Batman.
"I'm afraid your heart is as cold as ice," said Alfred in a huff, he then left the cave and walked up the stairs.
Mr. Freeze sat at a cell in Arkham Asylum that looked like a freezer. He looked at a trinket with a woman dancing in snow.
"I swear, my dear, I will find you again and bring you back to this world..." said Mr. Freeze. He then heard a speaker turn on.
"Victor Fries, this is Dr. Jonathan Crane, may I come in?" he asked.
"Very well," growled Mr. Freeze. The door opened to reveal the Scarecrow come in. Mr. Freeze stared at the Scarecrow...
"I see…"
