Chapter 10 Interrogation Part II

The Iceberg Lounge 11:45 pm EST

Robin and Superboy approached the Iceberg Lounge. Oswald Cobblepot, AKA The Penguin, owned this place. Despite his criminal activities, Penguin actually led a respectable business. Even some of Gotham's socially elite ate there. Now the Penguin was a short man, with a big and round belly. He wore a white shirt, and a black suit. His suit jacket had tailfins at the bottom, and he had a purple bowtie. He also wore black tap shoes, and he had a black top hat with a purple band running across it. And finally, this dapper fellow held a trick umbrella, providing both protection from crooks (and the Dynamic Duo), and shelter from the rain.

Robin walked up to the Penguin and said, "Cobblepot, I'd like to have a word with you."

Penguin replied, "Yes, yes! Follow me." Robin and Superboy did so. Now inside of Penguin's office, were four goons, two by the door, and two by Penguin's desk. When Robin entered the room, he dashed forward and threw two birdirangs at the two goons standing by the desk. When they saw their comrades fall down cold, the two goons by the door jumped at Superboy, but hit the wall with a thud. Superboy closed and locked the door. While Robin said, "Now, we need some information."

"Oh my." Penguin said. Superboy cracked his knuckles, while Robin intimidated the Penguin, which wasn't hard when you were the protégé and technical son of Batman.

"Scarecrow's been jumping from hideout to hideout, in Gotham's Uptown district. He mostly hangs out in those clinics up there, but there's like twenty-five of 'em in the Uptown district." Penguin spewed out the info as fast as he could.

"Good enough." Robin said. He and Superboy then walked out of Penguin's office.

Wayne Manor 12:00 am EST

Kyle, Kaldur, and Wally, were asleep at Wayne Manor. Batman had instructed them to stay at the Manor until the investigation was over. Wally's phone suddenly rang. Getting up with a start, Wally frantically searched all over for his phone. Picking it up, he answered "Hello?"

Robin was on the other end. "Yo KF, wake up the others, we're going to search Gotham's uptown district for clues, and maybe bust Scarecrow tonight. Now come on!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming! Give us a few minutes, okay?" Wally asked.

"Sure thing!" The call ended.

League of Shadows Dojo 12:45 am EST

Batman woke up strapped to a bed. His utility belt and his gloves had been removed. In front of him, Scarecrow was prepping some fear gas. Batman grunted. Scarecrow turned to look at Batman.

"You must be wondering why I'm here." He said. Batman just glared at Crane.

"Well let's just say, I want to know the Dark Knight. What keeps you going, what started you, and what you fear most." Scarecrow plunged the needle into Batman's arm, and the Dark Knight of Gotham began to pass out, entering the reality that was his mind.

A/N: A shorty I know, but I didn't feel to drag this chapter out with Batman's fears, that's for another chapter(hint: the next). But, until next time, Read and Review, True Believers!
