Sorry if the last chapter was a bit long. I couldn't help it. Anyway on to Chapter 6

She smiled and looked back at Alfred with a smirk. "Pray for me Alfred. I have to try to resist Bruce's legendary charming smile the whole time." she giggled as she strapped in. She closed up the bat-mobile and started it. "Can we get a bit of thrust Batman?" she adjusted the live feed to wire to the bat-mobile's computer instead of her mask.

"Of course. As much thrust as you would like." He adjusted the controls her implied comment not being lost on him. "Is there anything else that I can do for you at the moment?"

She shook her head as she spoke into the dash. "Raven night club" the bat-mobile moved and headed in direction of the club. Having traveled between the manor and the nightclub before, she knew when they were starting to get close. "Stealth mode." she adjusted the feed back to her mask. "They're on the second floor of the club. They might here the front door open so our best bet would be to enter from the top."

"Top it is Bat-woman." Bruce nodded in deference to her decision. "Perhaps we should notify Commissioner Gordon so he can deploy his teams?" Hesitating a moment. "Do you prefer and airborne assault? Or climbing?"

She nodded. "Please notify him Batman. As for the way, I believe an airborne assault would be good unless you have a reason to suggest climbing?"

He pressed a button on the console and called Gordon over the police band radio. Once he had explained their destination and suggested deployment, he switched channels. "Ascend and seek." He turned to Barbara, "We should find a place to park the bat-mobile so that our ride can home in on us easily."

She nodded. "Of course." she already knew the perfect spot that wasn't too far yet not too close either and directed the vehicle to park there. She opened up the bat-mobile and got out. "Let's go Batman."

He heard the helicopter long before it ever came into view. Speaking into the mouthpiece he said simply. "silent." The whir of the rotors was replaced by the soft sound of the rotors moving through the air. Slowly the helicopter came to rest. "After you....pilot seat Bat-woman" He directed her to the command chair again.

Once they were seated Batman said, "Ascend." As the helicopter moved skyward he spoke again. "Accept new operator." A female voice responded, "Identify" Bruce held his hand up for Barbara inviting her to command the helicopter.

"Raven night club" she smiled. She was quite enjoying piloting the bat-vehicles.

Bruce announced "Hover." The helicopter responded and sat nearly motionless several feet above the night club. "Care for some rappelling my dear Bat-woman? " He said once he was already halfway out of the canopy and beginning his descent.

She started her way out and began her descent. "After you my dear Batman."

Landing on the roof went without a hitch. He wondered if they had managed to catch Penguin in his nest completely unaware of their presence. He waited for Barbara to meet up with him next to a skylight. It was a simple matter to pry it open and prepare grapples for more rappelling. he took out his gas mask and indicated that she should do likewise. "Would you prefer to throw the gas or the stun munitions Bat-woman? It's easier if we only handle one or the other. Less confusion in the heat of battle."

She pulls on her gas mask. "The gas would take out more of them than the stun munitions. The more of them out the better."

"True, but it might be safer to assume that our targets also have protective masks. Stun munitions might buy us the extra time we need to take them out. It's your decision Bat-woman."

"That is true that they might have masks. Stun munitions it is Batman." she nodded. Glad that she hadn't had to do this alone.

"You throw nothing but gas grenades and I will throw only stun. It will minimize our own confusion. Drop them as we enter. Knock down anything left standing. And remember the police will be coming in as well. Don't hit the boys in blue." He donned his gas mask and slid effortlessly over edge of the sky light. Smiling beneath his mask he let out a muffled "Tally-ho."

She smiled underneath her mask as she followed behind him. "They're spread through different rooms on this floor. You take that direction, I'll take this." she turned and headed one way, peeking into rooms. The ones that had some of Penguin's men in them, she gently tossed in a gas grenade, smiling as she heard the gradual thuds of the men. She then went in the first room and tied the men up quickly before the gas wore off.

Batman made his way from room to room as well. He honestly preferred the stun munitions because it allowed him the time to do close in work on the thugs. None of them were in the least prepared. It was like scything through wheat at harvest. Kick in the door, pop in the stun. Wait for the boom, enter put them down, slip cuff them and repeat.

She sent her mini bat to search out Penguin. Ready to take him down herself if possible. She kept to the shadows otherwise in case some of Penguin's men that she or Batman hadn't gotten to were still up and walking around.

So far, there had been no sign of the Penguin only his hired thugs. Batman hesitated as the mechanical mini bat buzzed about the room seeking out more targets. He looked up into the air as it hovered before him. "Facial recognition software." He muttered. "Interesting. I certainly hope Penguin never gets his flippers on that thing."

Batman found a darkened niche in the room and receded into the shadows again. Waiting for the inevitable entry of the police swat teams. In the meantime, his thoughts strayed to Bat-woman for the briefest of moments. It was a mere matters of seconds, but it was the most pleasure he had allowed himself in days. The thought of her taut and fit body exiting her bat-suit was beginning to excite him. He knew he would have to concentrate on the mission again, but he allowed himself the guilty pleasure of fantasy for just a moment longer.

As she waited for a showing from the mini-bat of Penguin's location, she dipped into the shadows of a room. She didn't want to check in with Batman in case he was busy. Finally the mini-bat showed him going into a hidden room through one of the empty ones. She slipped out from her location as she sent the mini bat down to the police. "Got his location Batman, in the center room is a hidden panel that goes to a hidden room. I'm on my way there now and sending the mini-bat down to alert the police to send in the teams."

"Understood, I am moving in behind you." Batman moved to the center room as Bat-woman had indicated. he could make out the motion of her lithe figure in the shadows heading in the same general direction as he. As he moved forward he called to Commissioner Gordon and his men to make entry.

When Batman reached the door to the room he was but a moment behind Bat-woman. Racing behind her he watched as she located and then nimbly opened the hidden doorway. their entry into the tunnel behind the door was masked by the loud entry into the building by the SWAT teams.

The tunnel was dimly lit and rather musty. Switching to thermal imagery Batman could make out the form of Penguin a few yards down the tunnel. He also saw the image left by bat-woman. Her thermal image was suppressed by her bat-suit. Although her figure was suppressed somewhat he could still make out the shape of her body.

"What are your suggestions for taking down the bird? Just in case brute force and feminine wiles don't work." she chuckled softly

"I think a bit of brute force is suggested in this case. Finesse has not worked so well thus far. Take him down, and make it very hard."

"Alright then. Gonna need you to catch up pretty quickly once I do what I'm about to do." she took off at a run already knowing Penguin wasn't too much further ahead. Once she caught up to him, she used her body to knock him down to the ground and held him there the best she could

Batman was immediately behind Bat-woman as she brought Penguin down. He too launched himself at the bulbous Man/bird. Batman landed heavily on Penguin and Bat-woman, and he immediately moved to apply flexi-cuffs to penguins upper "flippers." At the same time he felt the body of Barbara Gordon pressed against him and found the situation curiously pleasing in several ways.

Having secured the Penguins upper flippers, Batman turned and flexi-cuffed Penguins lower flippers. The smell of the creature was almost too much to bear. The odor emanating from Penguin was a combination of chum, sewage and plain filth. It made Batman gag slightly.

Kneeling beside Penguin, Batman announced, "Those should hold him until the SWAT teams arrive."

"She nodded. "Unfortunately, they might not think to look in here for him. Not to mention some of the swat guys don't exactly trust us yet so we'd have to pull him out of here and leave him where they can find him"

"True enough." He removed a bat-a-rang and tether from his utility belt and handed it to her. "Would you like the honor of trussing him up? We can both drag him out for the police to find."

She took the items and used the bat-a-rang to pass the tether around Penguin's flippers, tightening the knotting. She looks at Batman. "Shall we?"

Smiling beneath his cowl he replied, "I can think of a couple of things I would rather do right now. However, they have to wait until we dispose of this one." He nodded to the struggling Penguin. With that he gave a tug on the bat-a-rang and began to tow Penguin out into the main hall.

She pulled with him. "I'll be so happy when we're done here. Don't know how much longer I can take bird boy's stench."

"Ummm, I can't agree more. I could use a good bath just to remove the stench." As they neared the center of the museum Batman removed a smoke bomb from his belt. "Drop him here." He waited for her to release the tether. Handing the bomb to Bat-woman he continued, "Drop that when I tell you." He reached onto his belt and removed the grappling hook and launcher. In a fluid movement he inserted the grappling dart, aimed skyward and fired the launcher. "Now Bat-woman" he said softly as his arm wrapped about her waist.

She couldn't help but smile a small smile when his arm wrapped around her waist. She dropped the smoke bomb as he told her.

As the winch in the launcher pulled them skyward he felt her legs entwining with his own and the warmth of her breath on his cheek. He felt the rhythm of her breathing as her chest rose and fell. They were rapidly approaching the skylight in the ceiling. He could hear the noise and scuffle of the police below.

He pulled Bat-woman closer and pressed his lips to hers once more.

Feeling him pull her closer, she responded to his kiss with eager wanting.

At length they reached the skylight. Suspended high above the museum floor they exchanged another kiss. Batman broke their kiss first, "You'll have to reach up and unlatch the skylight Barbara. We must leave before the police recover from the little smoke stunt."

He longed to hold her in his arms and simply dangle from the ceiling by the grappling hook and tether. He looked into her eyes and found himself pressing against her strong body again searching for her lips.

She kissed him again before breaking it. "It's gonna be hard for me to unlatch the skylight if you're kissing me like that." she reached up to undo the skylight

"Of course you are right." He said regretting his rash behavior. He boosted her up and through the skylight. He followed her through the opening and onto the roof. Batman pointed her to the far side of the roof. They both moved at a jog to the location, once there he stood on the ledge bordering the roof, spread his arms and jumped. His cape instantly stiffened and formed wings to ease his decent.
