Teloch: Superman is cool.
chimera629: Yes... AND no. Organized crime has gone down but super crime has increased and with the damage those madmen cause? Other people have gone into crime for desperation. It is something that Ghost and I will be exploring in a future chapter. Also Bruce is limited for what he can do for THOSE people has... he only has so much money. And even then there ARE also assholes who think they can do whatever they want/they only want to do the 'easy' way.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
Shadow Joestar: Never underestimate Batman.
chimera629: In certain aspects. There isn't any Mr Freeze, Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn based crimes, but other villains such as Victor Zsasz and Penguin are currently underway.
Teloch: Well, to each their own. But consider this: Superman is supposed to be the embodiment of Hope. He's meant to be a symbol to never give up and to stand against any odds. But if you think the current Superman is OP, consider Silver Age Superman. HE had to be nerfed via Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Mr. Haziq: Someone knows their comic lore. *chuckle*

Hey guys, another chapter time! Here we go!
Batman: A Different Path
Chapter 17: World's Finest Part 3
It was tomorrow, they Wayne Household was ready for the new day. Unaware of what was going on behind the shadows in Gotham as of yet. Dick was preparing for school, adjusting his uniform "Still not used to the Windsor knot..." Dick mumbled as he tried to do his tie up
"Master Dick, are you all ready for school?" Alfred asked
"Yeah, almost." Dick answered
"Any plans for after school?" Alfred asked
"Aside from the acrobatics club stuff...Not really, no." Dick answered
"Very well. Then shall I escort you back after your club." Alfred answered
"Thank you Alfred." Dick nodded
*Downstairs*
Bruce was currently getting in his car with Pamela ready to head out to work "Good luck." She smiled
"I will." He nodded with a reassuring nod. He kissed her cheek gently, smiling as he drove off
"Stay safe..." She whispered, holding her hands over her heart. The two entered Wayne Industries and went their own ways, off to work. Bruce headed to his office where he was due a meeting with The Board; Pamela was going down to figure out her formula to help stop her poison-lips. She was nearly there! And the plus side this concoction also works as an anti-venom for most plant based poisons!
"Good morning, Dr Isley." A voice spoke as it walked behind her
"Hmm? Oh, hello, Dr Fries." Pamela turned around to see him "What's the occasion?"
"No reason. Just trying to make friendly conversation." He answered
"Do you need assistance?" She asked gently
"No thank you. But thank you for offering." Victor answered. "I should be getting back to my work."
"Well, nice talking to you." Pamela responded
"Hmm." Victor nodded and left for his station.
"Nice man." Pamela commented to herself "I hope he is making progress."
*With Harley*
Harley was currently being escorted by the police to her therapist session "Thanks, Detective Bollocks." Harley smiled
"Bullock. And it's my job." He corrected her with just a sigh, getting use to her calling him that. Harley nodded, looking around with a smile "Alright, here we are." Bullock spoke, pulling up to Arkham Asylum "You know the drill."
"Yes, the kinky stuff." Harley teased
"I-No. Not...Urgh...I always fall for that." Bullock groaned, getting out a pair of handcuffs. Harley laughed, holding her arms out "Here we go." Bullock spoke, clicking the cuffs on Harley. "Follow me, please."
"Yes Master." She joked
"Oh boy...I hope Wayne doesn't handle with this." Bullock rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, he does." Harley teased "And he punishes the naughty girl." She laughed
"Oh god..." Bullock groaned, trying to get the mental image out of his head. Harley just laughed and skipped into her old work place "H-Hey, wait up!" Bullock called out
*With Dick*
Dick sitting as grunting as he practiced his moved on a bar hanging five feet in the air "Whoa..." The class looked up at him, seeing Dick on the bar.
"What?" Dick asked looking down at the group from the height.
"You are doing amazing Mr Grayson." The teacher nodded
"Oh, thanks, Miss." Dick responded, leaping off and landed professionally…... And the class clapped "Thanks everyone." Dick answered humbly. He blushed, looking away shyly
"Alright everyone, go get changed. The lesson's over." The teacher answered. Each of the students nodded and went to their changing rooms, Dick keeping to himself, true he liked being somewhat popular in the class, but he didn't want to be on the wrong side of anyone at this point. True he could kick their butts, knowing the training he was given by Bruce, but that would draw attention to him and it would go against what Bruce taught him
"Hey, Grayson." One of the male students went up to him.
"Yeah?" Dick asked
"Good moves out there." The boy answered.
"Thanks." Dick nodded
"Might make it to regional's or something." A second answered
"I'm not that good." Dick blushed
"Better than half the class, dude." The others answered, finishing getting dressed.
'I guess.' Dick thought, as he put his shirt and trousers on... And now he felt guilty 'Oh man...What am I gonna do?' He thought. He loved doing this but he felt he had an unfair advantage 'Am I overshadowing my classmates?' He thought. He sighed, leaving class... Where Betty was waiting
"You took your time, Dick." Betty commented, unintentionally sounding her sentence like an insult.
"Gah!" Dick yelled, jumping in surprise not expecting Betty to be there
"Jeez, Betty. Why're you here?" Dick asked
"I finished with the newspaper club and I decided to wait for you." She said, looking away as if she was trying to avoid a subject and hide something
"And?" Dick asked
"... AndIwashopingIcouldgotoyourhouse!" She blabbed quickly
"I...Beg your pardon?" Dick asked as he couldn't hear her properly.
"I...I was hoping to come round to your house." Betty answered, blushing brightly
"I...Um...Y-Yeah. I think so. Alfred's picking me up today...so...Do you want to come with?" Dick responded
"Yes!" Betty smiled and responded quickly, giving a quick fist-pump before she coughed and covered herself as best she could "Y-Yeah. Sure. Thanks, Dick."
"It's fine." He smiled
"Right. Awesome. Let's go." Betty answered almost awkwardly.
Dick nodded, walking out with his elder friend 'I wonder what Alfred will say about this?' Dick wondered
*With Ra's*
The black haired man was watching over Gotham, dressed in nothing but a green silk robe 'It will all be purged. The first domino to fall, Detective.' Ra's thought to himself 'The 'Superman' will fall, as will your city. And then others with powers, they will join us in shaping the world or join the alien in death.'
"Father." A voice spoke behind Ra's
The man didn't turn around, just sighed and smiled "What is it, Talia?"
"I came to ask if working with a man such as Lex Luthor is a good idea." She said simply
"As I said: he has resources but we've got the power. When the time comes...We'll take what's his." Ra's answered simply. "He's a means to the end."
"So, Luthor is a stepping stone. We turn the world to ash, take the remnants of the old world and restart anew?" Talia asked
"Of course. For every mass-extinction, the world becomes stronger. The meteorite, ice-ages, the bubonic plague...All stepping stones to strengthening this world." Ra's answered.
"After all, my grandson deserves a grand new world." He smirked. Yes you read that right. Talia has a son.
'You mean a world for YOU.' Talia thought to herself
"Now...Are the assassins in place?" Ra's asked
"Yes, father." Talia nodded
"Excellent. Your crusade, Detective...is at an end." Ra's spoke to himself
*With Bruce*
Bruce was with Lucious, the two quietly talking about potential improvements to the 'BatFamily's arsenal and using code words as they walked towards their cars "You think that Flower will find this appreciated?" Lucius asked
"I am sure she will." Bruce nodded, smiling... When he heard something off in the darkness. Bruce's eye quickly looked to the side, to not raise suspicion or alarm. He knew someone was there
"Mr. Wayne?" Lucius asked as he was worried that Bruce hadn't responded in the last few seconds.
"Get down!" He yelled, pushing his friend out of the way
"Oof!" Lucius fell to the floor as knives were now lodged into the garage wall. "What on earth?"
"Get out of here!" Bruce yelled. Lucius did what he was told, making a beeline for the elevator. Bruce got up and was ready for a fight.
"Detective." A voice whispered as shimmers of light seemed to reflect in the darkness.
"League of Shadows." Bruce whispered, his eyes widening for a second in shock. The assassins leaped towards Bruce, aimed to kill, but Bruce grabbed one of them and flipped them into the wall, while dodging others. He began to dodge a pair of swords being slashed at him, unable to counter attack he just had to keep swerving out of the way of their attacks 'Damn it. I'm getting cornered here.' Bruce thought as he managed to slide out of the way and run to the car. He had to make a strategic retreat. He did not have gear or weapons, no way to fight back but as he ran, another assassin was waiting 'Oh great!' He thought sarcastically, while trying to dodge the assassin. He dodged the attacks, soon a fourth assassin joining the assault and he was beginning to be pushed back 'God damn it!' He thought, getting pinned to the wall.
"Farewell, Detective." One of the assassins spoke, their blade aimed at Bruce's throat while he glared in defiance
"Halt!" A female voice ordered, stopping the final strike. The attack stopped inches from Bruce's heart, the dark Knight angry with how he nearly died!
Coming from the darkness was-
"Lady Talia!" The Assassins gasped, seeing their mistress order them to stop.
'Talia.' Bruce thought in shock before quickly recovering
"Back down. Now." Talia ordered. Begrudgingly, the assassins released Bruce, freeing him from their ambush "And you will not mention this to my father or his accomplices. Understand?" Talia added
"Yes, Lady Talia." They answered.
"Leave." She followed up. The assassin's nodded and disappeared
"... It's been a long time Talia." Bruce frowned. Less than two years to be precise, when he left the league as he refused to kill
"Hello, Beloved." Talia spoke gently "Two years to be precise."
"What're you doing In Gotham?" Bruce asked
"Do not ask questions you know the answer to." Talia sighed sadly, cupping his cheek
Bruce sighed and quickly pieced it together "Ra's. He's here in Gotham and is going to level it."
"Yes." She nodded, still having her hand on his cheek "... I've missed you." She said simply
Bruce's eyes widened subtly "You "missed me"?" He asked in slight disbelief
"Do not act as if you do not remember what happened between us." She frowned
Bruce thought back to his time with the League of Shadows...How he and Talia got close...That night with the full moon and sky full of stars...He couldn't forget it even if he tried. Talia had never seemed so beautiful... That was the day before he left the league
The day before he was forced to kill someone. He didn't though. He spared that man. He had to leave before he broke his rule.
The rule he made the day he was covered in his parents blood
Never kill.
"I remember, Talia. So what's Ra's doing now?" Bruce asked
"You know I can't tell you that Beloved." She sighed
"Then it's something destructive. He's going to need resources." Bruce thought
"Please stop beloved." Talia mumbled, she did not want her reunion to be like this. It hurt her heart
"He's going to destroy my home. I'm not going to sit back here and-" Bruce spoke before he felt his lips being pressed upon by Talia
"Hmmmmmm." Talia moaned gently, kissing Bruce lovingly as she cried
'Talia.' Bruce thought, seeing her tears...and felt her warm lips. He held her close, holding her hips gently
"Hmm..." Talia moaned gently 'Please...' She thought. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close
'Talia...She's vulnerable...Honest.' He thought '... If only she came with me that day.'
She slowly broke the kiss and looked at him "I'm sorry." and then she was gone
"Talia..." Bruce blinked. He sighed heavily as he looked to the floor...and felt something in his hand...not a large thing, but noticeable. A note "Huh?" He blinked. He opened the note and inside was a single word.
LUTHOR
*meanwhile*
Superman and Supergirl where flying over Gotham at super speeds, the two having heard the same scream for help "I hope we get there in time." Supergirl spoke
"Of course we can Kara." Superman frowned, the noise in Gotham making it hard to find the scream. Now Superman would normally be able to hear VERY well ANYWHERE on the planet. But Gotham was just so... Closed off. The buildings where all close, so much noise in every little area. Sounds blurred together and drowned each other out every other second. It meant they had to fly slower so they could focus on the noise, the two soon arriving at an abandoned apartment complex
"Hmm...It's hard...How can anyone listen in on this?" Supergirl asked, trying to focus.
"We're nearly there Kara." Clark frowned
"Alright. Lead the way." Kara answered as they were arriving at the source. They soon arrived in an abandoned apartment complex, walking in slowly and cautiously 'Abandoned? But where was the screaming coming from?' Kara thought. They entered slowly and saw a woman tied to a chair, several armed men standing there with their guns to her head 'That answers that.' Kara thought
"Careful now." Superman whispered
"Give up Superman, or we blow the bitches head off!" one man snapped
'Our backs are against the wall here.' Kara thought. Superman was silent and rapid-fired his heat-beams, burning their guns
"ARGH! SHIT!" The masked men shouted in pain, dropping the floor and tried to cool off their hands.
"It's okay ma'am." Clark nodded, walking over. The woman looked up at him and nodded... and then he yelled in pain, a ninja holding a glowing green sword standing behind him
"Superman!" Supergirl yelled
"Fool." The woman stood up and free from her bonds...Like she wasn't bound in the first place! "Get the girl." ... In the blink of an eye six ninja with the same swords as the first emerged from the darkness
"How the-?" Kara gasped as she was struck upon by the ninja. She flinched, falling to her knees. She... She... She felt so weak!
"Kryptonite." Superman groaned, trying to stay up. "Get out of here Kara!" He ordered, punching a ninja in the face
Kara nodded and jettisoned out of the way, getting far away from the ninjas. She goes right upwards, feeling weak and exhausted as she does away in slight fear 'C-Clark...He's hurt...How? How did they get Kryptonite?' Kara thought as she staggered back home 'How did they get so much Kryptonite?' she thought, crashing into the roof of a random building
"Hey, you okay?" A purple and yellow clad figure asked, kneeling in front of Supergirl
"Please...Help..." Kara whispered, not looking up
The figure was Batgirl, kneeling in front of the girl and trying to help her up "Hang on, I've got you." Batgirl tried to hoist her up.
"Nin...ja...Krypt..." Kara tried to warn her
""Ninja Crypt"?" Batgirl asked. Kara tried to speak but fainted "Oh crap." Batgirl frowned as she began to carry her. 'What am I gonna do?' She sighed, knowing this was Supergirl... There was only one real option 'I should take her to the Watchtower.' What Batgirl didn't know, she was being followed by shadows.
*In the Watchtower*
Batgirl sighed as she arrived back at the tower, setting the blonde on an emergency/spare bed "Alright, here we go." Batgirl spoke, locking the Watchtower so that no-one could get in. Barbara sighed as she looked at the blonde. She was not stupid, she recognized Supergirl beyond just her pictures 'Supergirl in Gotham...' She thought '... Supergirl is Kara... Great...What am I gonna do now?' Batgirl thought. 'Kara's Supergirl and that means-' then the penny dropped "Oh snap." She whispered. She had masturbated to the girl who had quickly became her best friend "Oh my GOD!" She whispered, trying not to wake her, blushing under her mask. Well the lower half of her face was revealed so no hiding it. But still!
"Hmm..." Kara groaned, trying to get up, still weak from the Kryptonite.
'She's getting up. Okay, okay. Calm down.' She thought. 'We're safe here.' She knelt down next to Kara and gently put her hand on her shoulder "Hey, calm down. Don't strain yourself, you looked really weak earlier."
"Wh-where am I?" Kara asked, looking around.
"The Watchtower, my base of operations. I'm Batgirl." Barbara smiled, hating to lie to her friend
"Batgirl...O-Okay." Supergirl answered "I'm Supergirl."
"I guessed that." The purple clad teen smiled, pointing at the S on the blondes chest
"Yeah...sorry. Hnn...I had to escape ninjas." Kara answered
"... Ninja's." Barabra frowned in disbelief
"Yes, with Kryptonite swords." Kara nodded. "Please, believe me."
Barbara was silent, looking at Kara. Most would think she was crazy but looking into those dear filled blue eyes... She just nodded "I do, Supergirl. But tell me: What IS Kryptonite?" Batgirl asked "And what exactly happened?"
*With Dick*
Dick and Betty where at Wayne Manor with Alfred, the butter giving the blonde a tour with the help of the young ward "And out there is the garden. My mum grows some great flowers." Dick pointed outside through the kitchen window
"It does look really nice." Betty nodded
"Drink, Ms Betty?" Alfred asked as he was near the cupboards.
"Please." She nodded
"Master Dick?" Alfred asked
"Yes please, Alfred." He nodded
"Of course." Alfred nodded with a smile. It didn't take long until the group got moving again.
"I guess I should go home." Betty commented, looking at the clock
"It's quite late, Ms Betty. I'm sure Master Bruce can allow some accommodation until tomorrow." Alfred answered
"It's fine, I'll take the bus." She smiled
"Very well then." Alfred answered and nodded
"Well...See you at school?" Dick asked
"Sure." Betty chuckled and kissed his cheek, walking off. Dick blushed as he stood frozen in place "Later Richard, you're a great kid." She waved, running off
Dick didn't respond with words but waved almost like a zombie, still feeling the kiss on his cheek "... wow..." he mumbled
"Master Richard?" Alfred asked
"Huh...?" Dick asked almost hypnotically.
"Are you okay?" Alfred asked
"I err...I'm fine." He answered nervously.
"She's a good friend." Alfred nodded, before he noticed a figure in the shadows "... I think a certain bird should make sure she gets home safely, however."
"Huh? Oh...Yeah. I got you." Dick nodded, getting the hint. He did not understand WHY but he ran to the BatCave to get changed 'What did Alfred see?' Dick thought as he headed to his costume
*meanwhile*
Outside the mansion, Betty was walking to the bus stop, thinking nothing of the shadows who were around. She sat down at the bus stop, smiling 'I wonder if I broke poor Dick's mind?' She wondered. She giggled lightly at the idea, smiling. There was rustling in the bushes; Betty just took that as wild animals, unknown what was actually in there. As she turned around, expecting it to be some sort of animal, only to scream as a ninja jumping towards her "GAH! Wh-Who're you?!" Betty screamed. The ninja didn't respond except for drawing its blade "N... No! No! Please! I... I don't want to die!" She gasped and cried, backing up. The ninja didn't answer, except raising his sword to kill her...but a boot was pwned into his face and kicked him to the ground away from them.
"Back off!" Robin glared, standing tall... Despite being short
"Wh-Who're you?" Betty gasped
"I *Ahem*." Dick began to speak, before deepening his voice "I'm Robin."
"..." Betty was silent and then giggled "Is that what you're going with?" she could not help but ask, talking about his voice
"I-Down!" Robin began to speak but then helped her down, dodging the ninja's blade. He began to return the ninja's blade's strikes, using his bo staff while protecting Betty 'D-Damn it. I'm not ready for this!' Robin thought. 'I've got to protect her!' He was holding his bo tightly, clearly not skilled enough to beat this ninja. The ninja sighed and then feigned an attack only to kick Robin away... Only to be hit over the head by a metal pipe and knocked out
"Hnn!" The ninja exclaimed as it fell to the ground
Standing behind him was Betty holding said pipe. Who was panting and shaking in fear "Ow...Hey, are you okay?" Robin asked, getting up and going to her in concern.
"I should be asking YOU that." She said in worry, kneeling in front of him
"I'm fine. I've been hit harder than that." Robin answered. He rubbed his chin, mumbling
"Well, thanks for trying to save me." Betty answered, still nervous from being attacked
"Come on, we need to get you somewhere safe." Robin answered. He grabbed her and dragged her away
"O-Okay!" Betty nodded, looking back and saw the ninja still on the floor "Who was he?"
"An assassin. He must've thought you were a threat." Robin answered
"Me?! A threat?!" She gasped
"I think so. Come on, we've got to get moving." Robin spoke, stopping at the bus stop. He pressed a secret button on his belt and twenty seconds later a red motorbike stopped in front of them
"Whoa! Where did that come from?" Betty asked in shock
"Get on." Robin urged
"O-Okay!" Betty nodded getting on the motorbike with Robin. She held the child's frame, shocked when it took off but it was also clad that Robin was NOT driving it
"WHAAA! How's this happening?!" Betty screamed
"I'm 13, you think I can drive? This is remote controlled." Robin called, lying about his age slightly to avoid even MORE potential suspicion about his identity
"I guess." Betty answered as she held on tight.
"Blind Bat, what was with that ninja?" Robin asked as he blushed
'Blind Bat?' Betty thought
"He was a man from the League of Assassin's, Robin." Alfred said over Dick's earpiece with his voice technologically altered "They are enemies of your father. They probably attacked Ms Kane because she left the mansion."
"Darn it." Robin cursed gently, glad his parents where not here... but he heard Alfred hum in disapproval 'We can't go to the police. That'd be putting more people in trouble.' he thought "Where's Batman?"
"He is off dealing with the cause of this. Go to the ClockTower, Batgirl is there." Alfred informed
"On it." Robin nodded and headed that way. "We're going to a safe-house, in case you're wondering."
"Okay." Betty nodded
*With Harley*
Harley was currently going back to Wayne Manor, being escorted by the police. She was sitting at the back of the car, kicking her legs innocently... When the car was hot with gun fire "GAH!" Harley ducked under her seat while the driver was shot to death "Hey! You almost hit me!" Suddenly the car began to swerve, Harvey Bullock trying to steer the car with the driver dead whole trying to avoid gunfire... and he was having a hard time "What's happening? People having fun?" Harley asked
"That's sniper fire!" Harvey yelled, doing his best to steer
"Why don't you find cover?" Harley asked as the car swerved to avoid being hit.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?!" he yelled
"Wait, go down that way!" Harley pointed.
"Huh?" Harvey blinked
"That way, through the district!" Harley answered
"Which way?!" Bullock responded
"RIGHT, RIGHT!" Harley answered, kicking the seat
"GAH!" he yelled, doing as he was told. The car swerved to the right, the bullets of the snipers missed the car as Harley and Bullock got out of the way. The car crashed in an alleyway, the two shocked about their recent experience "Ugh...Did ya plan this?" Bullock groaned
"Just to get out from death." Harley answered
"Who da fuck was shooting at us?" Harvey grumbled
"I dunno. Maybe it's ninjas?" Harley suggested
"Don't have stupid Quin." Harvey frowned "Ninja's." He scoffed
"Yeah? What d'ya call THEM then?" Harley pointed through the broken screen.
"Could be a gang." He shrugged
"Do gangs have katana?" Harley gulped
"Huh?" Harvey blinked. Through the screen, there was a group of five ninjas who were walking to the car wielding their katana "NINJA?!"
"Told ya." Harley answered as a katana pierced the side of the car
"MOVE!" Harvey yelled, readying his gun. Harley ducked and tried to move out of the way, while Harvey was shooting at the ninja. The ninja began to dodge, focusing "Damn it!" Bullock snarled
"Uncuff me! I can help!" Harley spoke
"Fine." He snarled
Bullock quickly uncuffed Harley who was now free and she smiled. Hands quickly opened the door and Harley clicked them onto the chair so that she caught a ninja "Boop!" She began to rapid kick the ninja in the head and steal his katana. She held the sword and laughed, spinning the katana, before charging
"The hell?!" Bullock gasped
"Come and get me ya ninja bastards!" Harley yelled out, swinging the sword like a madwoman. The ninja frowned and fought back, clearly being more skilled with a sword than Harley... But Harley was unpredictable
"ARGH!" One of the ninja roared in pain as Harley chopped off his hand.
"No killing!" She sang
"Psychotic WHORE!" The second ninja yelled as he threw a weighted chain at Harley, trying to disarm her but she dodged
"I know you are, what am I?" She laughed. Harley slashed down at the ninja while cutting the person's chest and with one strong kick she knocked him out "Phew. That's a relief. Yo, Bollocks; you okay?" Harley asked
"IT IS BULLOK!" he yelled
*With Pamela*
Pamela was headed back home, she heard the news of Gotham going to hell and wanted to find out if her family was alright. She had done something she ONLY did in emergencies... Grew a giant vine to rush her home "Come on babies. We have to head home!" Pamela urged her plants to go faster. She had to check on, at least, Alfred!. She tried to dodge to carnage in the street but the cars where a mess. A bunch of bombs had gone off and the city was in a panic! "Oh no. I can't get through!" Pamela panicked. What... What could she do?! Unknown to her, but not to her plants, ninjas were hot on her trail but quick as a flash, the vines alerted their mother and wrapped up three ninja before they hit her "Huh?" Pamela blinked
"HCK! The ninjas struggled against the plants, each wielding a different assassination weapon.
"Ninjas? That...Are you responsible for all this?" Pamela asked. She frowned. She needed answers and there was only way to get them. She took a breath... And breathed out, a pink mist leaving her bright red lips and into their bodies
The ninjas inhaled the mist and became hypnotized. "What do you want, mistress?" They asked in an enamoured trance.
"What is going on?" She ordered
"We're under orders...To purge this city." The ninja answered
"By WHOM?" Pamela ordered
"Ra's Al Ghul...Our master." They answered. "Our target is Batman and those associated with him."
Pamela's eyes widened in shock. They were after Batman...and they attacked her! They KNOW who Batman is! "How? How do you know who he is?!" She yelled
"He trained under Ra's, he was once one of us...But he didn't complete the final test: To take a life." The ninja answered
Pamela snarled... And then kissed all three of the ninja. The ninjas were choking in pain, feeling the poison fill their system...and were killed. She had her plants drop the lifeless body, spitting their taste from her mouth "I'm not going to let you do this." She cursed them but first she had to get to the mansion
*With Batman*
Bruce was heading back to the Batcave, he had to get his armour. This was a war he needed to prepare for. He was in a secondary BatCave, his armour looking sleeker and more streamlined "This armour is fresh on the battlefield...But it'll have to do." Bruce spoke, getting changed into his armour. The armour was somewhat lighter than his more battle-fought armour, but that was to be expected. This armour was fresh off the production line, sleeker, streamlined, lighter and more durable than Bruce's original. It looked like a 'Ninja Batman' armour... Which made sense and was a badass idea
"Alright, Ra's. This ends now." Bruce spoke darkly. Attacking now, while Superman is in town? And Talia's message about Luthor?
He knew where they would be. And that the man of tomorrow needed his help
