Disclaimer: I don't own anything, only the story, anyway back to the story, guys.
As the elevator was going down, Batman started coughing, confusing Anti-Venom, "Hey Batnut, you okay?" He asked.
"I think so." Batman answered.
The elevator came to a stop and the doors opened, when they walked out they saw someone struggling, "Please, Dr Crane, don't do that." He said, begging Crane aka the Scarecrow, to stop.
"There is no Crane, Only Scarecrow." He said as he sprayed his Fear Toxin, causing the man to see his greatest fears.
"They're all over me!" The Man said.
They walked to the window and saw three people inside, scared, one of them run to the window, "Someone help, please!" The man said.
They looked and saw Scarecrows shadow in the room, Batman tried to open the cage but wasn't strong enough to do so, they then heard Joker's voice again, "Looks like the doctor has started early, you're appointment isn't for hours, I'm sure he'll be buzzed through when he's ready." Joker said, "Tell me, Bats, what are you really scared of, failing to save this cesspool of a city, not finding the Commissioner in time?" He asked Batman.
"I think that Bat for brains can handle Nut-freak on his own, that doctor seemed to be very concerned about her notes, I wonder if it has something to do with what Clown face is planning, better get back to the Mansion and find out, if she knows something, it could bring me one step closer to killing that murderous bastard once and for all." Anti-Venom thought.
Batman used his Explosive Gel to open a weak wall in the room, "Let's go, Anti-Venom, Scarecrow is somewhere in here, we have to stop him before he hurts anyone else." Batman said, turning to his ally.
"No thanks, Bat for brains, you can stop Nut-freak on your own, I've got a doctor to question and a murderous clown to kill, don't follow me, we'll meet up again later, hopefully Clown face will be dead by then." Anti-Venom said.
"You had better hope youget to Joker before I do, Anti-Venom." Batman said, going his own way.
Anti-Venom then left the building and Webbed swinged to the Mansion.
With Batman
Batman was going the way he created, he looked up and saw Gordon, "Please help me, Batman." He said, begging for his friend to help, before being dragged away.
"Impossible, Jim left with Quinn, It must be Crane's gas." Batman thought, continuing on his path, he found another vent and crawled through it, once he got out he saw Gordon's body, he walked to where the body was and kneeled down and looked closely.
"Quinn must have double crossed us, I knew it." He thought as he closed Gordon's eyes, "I'm sorry, Jim." he said, getting up and continuing on, "Barbara, I'm sorry, I was too late." he said to Barbara through his communicator.
"I'm sorry, the number you have reached isn't available, please leave a message after the tone." a woman said.
"Barbara, are you there?" He asked.
"Please hang up your phone." The woman said.
Batman cut off communication and continued on, he walked through the hall until he opened the door that led to the Morgue, he walked in and saw three body bags, turning to the right side, he opened the bag and was shocked at what he saw, the body of his father, Thomas Wayne.
"Father?" Batman asked.
"You should have stopped him son, like a man." Thomas Wayne said.
Turning to the left side, Batman then opened the left bag, revealing his mother, Martha Wayne.
"Mom?" He asked.
"Save us, Bruce, don't let us die." She said.
Going to the bag in the middle, he opened it, when he did, Scarecrow popped out, making Batman fall to the floor, when he got up again he turned around and saw that the room had changed, most of the floor, walls and ceiling were missing, and there was a swarling twister.
He looked and saw a Bat signal, just then a giant version of Scarecrow appeared, "Poor little bat, you're in my world now." Scarecrow said, looking for Batman.
Batman started running to the Bat signal, running up some stairs and then jumping down to another ledge, he crouched down to avoid Scarecrows glowing eyes, he then jumped to another ledge and claimed up to two Upper floors, he then jumped to another ledge and used his Explosive Gel to clear the wall blocking his path when Scarecrow wasn't looking, when he detonated the Gel Scarecrow heard it, "What are you doing, little Bat?" Scarecrow asked, looking for Batman.
When Scarecrow looked away, Batman ran and jumped to another ledge then ran up the stairs, he then claimed up the ledge that had the Bat signal and shined the light on Scarecrow, then in a flash of light, Batman saw he was still in the morgue, Oracle then contacted him.
"Bruce, are you there, what's going on?" She asked.
"Oracle, I'm okay." He answered.
"I lost contact, is everything ok, did you find my dad?" She asked.
"I'm fine, had a little run in with Scarecrow, slowed me down, I'll get back to you in a bit." He answered.
He went back out of the morgue and saw arrows, he followed them, on the way back, he saw who the dead body really was: another guard.
"It wasn't Gordon, Crane's gas must have affected me more then I thought. Batman thought. "So Quinn didn't betray us."
He looked up and saw a smiling face on the other door when he heard Joker's voice again.
"Are you lost, little Bat, having trouble figuring out what's real and what's just a fragment of your twisted little mind? Same here. Just roll with it Bats, it gets easier once you do, trust me." Joker said.
He went into detective mode and saw three thugs behind the door, getting an idea, he sprayed three Explosive Gels on the wall and took cover, when the thugs burst out of the door he detonated them, stunning the thugs long enough for Batman to jump on the thugs and knock them all out.
"Listen, no more tricks, since I can't seem to find Harley or the Commissioner at the moment, I'll give you a little present, the other friend I told you about, do a little test for me and I'll let you see him." Joker said.
Batman then entered the door and saw more armed thugs in the room, Batman then saw Joker on another monitor, "Here's your test before you see the friend I told you about, take out all the thugs in the room and you can have him, and to make it more fun, I've told them all you're on the way." Joker said.
Batman opened a vent and crawled through it, he then got out and entered Detective mode, and saw one of the thugs around the corner of the vent, sneaking up behind him, he grabbed him and applied pressure to his windpipe, knocking him out, he then grappled onto a gargoyle, and hung down from it, when another thug was in reach he swooped down and grabbed him by the throat, using the line he tied his a ankles and let go of him, then swung to another gargoyle as the other thugs came over to investigate.
Batman then entered another vent in the room, sneaking behind another thug, he applied pressure to his windpipe, knocking him out, he then spotted the last thug and knocked him out the same way he did the first and third thugs, having knocked out all the thugs in the room, Joker's voice came on again.
"Well done, Bats, now that you passed the test, you can have your present, down there." He said.
Batman went to a door down stairs, who he saw shocked him, it was one of his most dangerous enemies: Bane, he was in shackles holding his arms and legs, round lines were on his back, draining the Venom from his blood.
"Bane." Batman said.
"Cut me down." Bane said.
"Who did this to you?" Batman asked.
"Dr Young, the bruja, she drained the Venom from my blood, must stop her." He answered as the monitor in the room came on, revealing Joker.
"Sorry, Has-Bane, the good doctor won't be a problem much longer, how do you like my puppet, what's say we cut him down." Joker said, activating the machine, getting the Venom back in Bane.
His muscles began to grow to superhuman levels, breaking the shackles holding his arms and legs, and his eyes were glowing green, once his transformation was completed, he grabbed Batman and throw him through a wall leading to the boiler room.
When Bane came in the room, he charged at Batman, Batman throwed a Batarang at Banes eye and dodged out of the way, making Bane hit a wall, he then jumped on Banes back and ripped off the left line's that gave Bane the Venom, Batman got off Bane's back and dodged out of the way before could lefthook him, Bane then used his strength to rip off a large part of the wall and threw it at Batman, but he dodged out of the way.
"Seriously, is that the best you can do, Bane? Let me lend you a hand." Joker said as his thugs jumped down to help Bane fight Batman.
Batman fought off some of the thugs and used Banes charging to stun the rest of the thugs, while Bane charged at Batman again, Batman threw another batarang at Banes eye, making him crash into another wall, while Bane was stunned, Batman jumped on Banes back again and ripped off the lines from Bane's right shoulder and jumped off Bane, more of Joker's thugs jumped down to fight Batman but Bane ran into them as Batman threw another batarang at him and dodged out of the way, making Bane hit a wall while Batman knocked out all the thugs and jumped on Bane's back again and ripped off the middle line from Bane's head, making him hold his head in pain, the ceiling started coming down on Bane, burying him in the debris.
Batman grappled up to the ledge and climbed out of the manhole cover , when he got out fully, he pushed his wrist control for the Batmobile to make it come to him, when he did, Bane burst out of the wall and grabbed Batman.
"I will break you, Batman, then the bruja." Bane said.
"No Bane, this time, I break you."Batman said as Bane looked and saw the Batmobile heading straight for him.
Batman kicked out of Bane's grip, pushing him into the Batmobiles way, the car then ran Bane over, sending itself and Bane into the water, he then contacted Oracle.
"Oracle, go through the city's computer's, pull up all you can find on Dr Young, I'll go through anything you find once I get to the Cave." Batman said.
"A Batcave, on Arkham Island?" She asked.
"I built it years ago, it's best to plan ahead for situations like this." He explained.
"How'd you manage to keep this a secret?" She asked.
"It's me, remember?" He answered her question with another question.
"So do you think Dr Young's been experimenting with Venom, the same thing that turns Babe into that animal?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm worried, Bane seemed even more powerful than usual, Joker wants the Venom and that can only be trouble." Batman answered.
"Speaking of Venom, where's Anti-Venom, why didn't he help you with Bane?" Oracle asked.
"He's gone to question Dr Young, and once he finds out what Joker's planning, he'll go to kill him." Batman said.
"You've got to stop him, Bruce, if he kills Joker, I don't think he'll stop killing." Barbara said, concerned for Vincent.
"Don't worry, once I get what I need from the cave, I'll go find Joker, if I can get to him before Anti-Venom does, I might be able to stop him." Batman said.
"Alright, I'll try to track him down through his communicator, I'll let you know when I find him." She said.
Alright, I'm heading to Dead Man's Point in Arkham North, I'll contact you once I'm in the cave." He said. Cutting off communication with her.
"Anti-Venom, I don't know why you want to kill Joker so badly, but if you do, it won't matter, I'll find a way to capture you and lock you up in Arkham with the rest of them." Batman thought.
Unknown to him, Anti-Venom was watching from a distance, "Over my dead body, Bat for brains, you won't stop me, if I have to break all your limbs to keep you out of my way, don't think for a second that I won't." Anti-Venom thought as he swang to the Mansion , determined to get to to get his answers and then do what Batman never would: kill that murderous clown, once and for all.
How was that, guys, hope you enjoyed the first battle in Scarecrows world and the fight with Bane, next chapter will be about Anti-Venom getting his answers, until then, see you next chapter guys.
