I was scared shitless. Before me was the man who broke the batman. The goddamn batman! How was I getting out of this one?

"Well, Hazard, I hope you don't have Agliophobia. Because you're about to..."

"Honey!' A feminine voice said in the background. 'Dinner's ready!"

"Oh.' He said. An awkward silence followed.

"Um...I'll be right back.' He said. Shuffling could be heard. "Oh, and Bane? Do your thing. Don't worry about me missing anything. I'm recording this fool's pain and suffering anyway."

Then he was gone. Just me and Bane. Despite being pretty much terrified, I just said the first thing that came to my mind.

"So uh...nice mask.' I stuttered. 'Very lucha libre"

Ignoring this comment, he looked around the ring at the various unconscious bodies, crying henchmen, and Zsasz, then back to me. "You beat these men?" He asked. He had a heavy mexican accent.

"Oh, these guys?' I said, motioning to them.'Sí"

He glared at me."You should not mock the man with the ability to kill you. These men are los insectos compared to me. What is your name, boy? I don't like to kill people without knowing their identities first."

I raised an eyebrow. "Is this how you usually ask for people's names, Or am I a special case?' I said sarcastically. 'The name's Jason Jones, but you can call me Hazard."

He laughed "Family of the croc? I remember when I fought him.' He said. 'He did not last long, I broke both his arms."

"You know, I was wondering who did that. He would never tell me.' I said, he was starting to piss me off. 'One question. Are you only talking to me because you're afraid of getting your ass kicked? Fight a giant mutant crocodile, but as soon as you meet his cousin you're scared shitless."

He was pissed now. he pressed a button on his wrist and green liquid flowed from the thing on his back into him. I could see his veins glowing with the stuff. "How dare you say that! I AM BANE! the Bane of all that lives!' He screamed in rage, pointing at me. 'The médico brujo will have your CORPSE!"

"Whats with the spanish?' I said sarcastically. At this point I wanted to see how mad I could get him. 'English or Español, pick one and stick with it!"

Finally, he charged. "Te rompen, Hazard!"

I flipped out of the way and he crashed into a VERY hard stone wall. Dodging a frickin gorilla was MUCH easier than evading a crowd of guys. That's all well and good for defense, but what about offense?

"Evadir esta!" He yelled, throwing a chunk of rock at me. Only dodged it by millimeters. If he kept this up, the cavern might cave in on us. I had to finish him fast. How the hell would I do that?

He ran at me, swinging wildly. He hit me, and I flew against the far side of the wall. He laughed at me. "Mi veneno que me mantiene fuerte Hazard, a diferencia de usted.' He spoke 'Sólo se puede ejecutar y esperar a que yo termine."

My side exploded with a stabbing pain, meaning he must have broke one of my ribs. The pain in my lungs now made it hard to breath without it hurting like hell. Bane looked at me and laughed. I wasn't going to give that bastard the satisfaction of seeing me down with one blow.

"Hey asshole.' I said, picking myself up off the floor slowly.'I you're going to insult me, at least say it in a language I can fucking understand."

Through his mask, he grinned wildly. "What is wrong, little conejo?Did I make you mad, or did I break something I shouldn't have?"

He walked slowly toward me, the earth shaking with each step. "As I said, my venom keeps me strong. Where is your power now, conejo?

His venom was his power. How could I have forgotten that? All I have to do is cut the tubes and I'll be set! But how do I do that with a broken rib?

Wait, breathing didn't hurt anymore. Could that mean...

Bane stood above me, casting a large black shadow over me. "Even the cocodrilo lasted longer than you.' His voice sounded disappointed, as if he expected more from the cousin of a super-criminal, even if I was only human. 'Any last words before I kill you?"

I smirked "Well, how many words do I get?"

"You still struggle, even when broken and seconds before death." He said, raising his fists into the air. "Admirable, but pointless."

I dived beneath his legs just as his fists hit the ground, shaking the whole cavern. I jumped onto his back and tries to break the tubes injecting the venom, but failed. If I had claws or a knife of some sort I'd be able to get the job done. He grabbed me and threw me off his back. This time, I was ready enough to bounce off the wall with my feet and roll instead of re-breaking my rib.

Bane spun around and, surprisingly, looked first horrified, then just pisses again. "Conejo, what trickery is this? Are you a human or demonio.'

He said, cracking his fists.'No matter, I shall break you either way."

The hell was he talking about?

I looked at my hands and was shocked to see my fingers have turned to long blades. My clothes even changed color, from a light blue to a pitch black. There was some emblem on the front of the hoodie too, but I'd have to look later.

"Go back to hell where you belong, DEMONIO!" Bane said, rapidly swinging at me again. It was even easier to evade him now than earlier. He was either getting slower, or I was a hell of a lot faster. He punched the ground again, leaving him open for me to jump onto his back. This time, I just went completely apeshit on anything glowing green.

Bane grabbed me and pinned me against the ground with one arm. "You are no Batman, you are NOTHING!" He raised his fist into the air, but was stopped by an annoying beeping noise.

He gripped his head and started screaming. Then he started shrinking before my eyes. His backpack slipped off, and then his gauntlet. When it was all over, he was a shivering shrimp in a metal mask. I got up, retracted my claws, and grabbed him by the throat.

slamming him against a wall, I ripped off his mask. This is when he started ranting. "NO! This cannot be! A mere man cannot defeat BANE!"

"I am not any mere man.' I said, my voice was surprising scratchy and scary. 'I am HAZARD."

I then proceeded to head-butt him so hard it made ME see stars.

I slung his unconscious body over my shoulder and grabbed his mask. If they didn't need it as proof, I can sure as hell keep it as a cool-ass personal trophy.

I went out the way bane stomped in, and sure enough, there was an elevator. I pressed the button, and the elevator opened with a loud ding. The inside of it was carpet and steel, and it had a television. It only had two floors, so I just pressed the 1 button. As the elevator rose, the television turned on, revealing Scarecrows masked face. He was NOT happy.

"your persistence is starting to annoy me, boy. First you take out 9 of my guys, smear Zsasz against the wall, and then break Bane! Are you deliberately trying to hinder my plans!' He yelled through the television. 'I just hope you know that now it's WAR."

"Really, It wasn't war when you tried to kill me using henchmen. I thought it was.' I said as the elevator stopped, emitting a loud ding again. 'Before I leave, I'd like to have you know that I WILL find you, and then I'll return you to arkham myself."

"I doubt that besid...' He didn't have the time to finish before I broke the television with Bane's mask.

The door opened up into a barn. How typical, a most classic Scarecrow move. I moved over to the big doors and kick them open. Outside, a whole fleet of cars were park, and right in front was my green chevy. I smiled, what a stroke of luck! One of those assholes must have used it to get here. The car was even unlocked with the keys in the ignition!

I dumped Bane in the backseat. Then I pulled down the mirror. What I saw shocked me. My face had mutated and looked as if it were only bone. My teeth were pointed and I had red slits for eyes. "Holy shit..."

I rapidly pulled off my hood. Looking in the mirror, I was normal again. I touched my face to make sure there was still skin there and to check if my mind wasn't playing playing tricks on me. Luckily, it wasn't.

I sat back in my seat. I honestly wanted to call it a night right then and there, but I couldn't. I needed to get Bane to the GCPD before deciding to sleep, otherwise he may escape, killing me in the process. I turned the key and the engine roared to life. Pulling out, I headed towards the bright lights of the city, the sun just peeking up over the horizon.

Finally making use of that M rating, huh? Longest chapter yet! Feel free to review. For those of you that didn't like Bane speaking spanish, or the spanish in a text that's labeled "english", you don't have to worry. Although it was cool writing in another language other than english, there is no way I'm doing that again. To much hassle with the spanish to english dictionary. (That, and I don't know any other batman villains that speak another language.
