It was finally show time. Nigma had his goons knock out security as they made their way towards the mansion door. He had not seen any sign that Sid was here, he knew he should have interrogated her instead of leaving it to Crane. Although Crane did fail his test, the girl was gone long before he had return. For right now he have to let all thoughts of that slide for now and focus on the mission at hand.
It was time to show Mr. Billionaire playboy how untouchable he was. Knocking on the front door with his cane, he only waited for a moment before his butler opened the door. Knocking the old man off to the side he twirled his cane as he strolled in and went straight for the ballroom.
"Riddle me this," he called out causing the guest to stop what they were doing and stand off to the side making a circle for him to enter as his goons went around taking jewels, watches, cash, and other valuable they had on them. "What is more freighting then the Riddler robbing you blind?"
"Riddler," came the gruff voice of Batman as he entered the room through the second floor balcony.
"Should have answered my riddle BATMAN!" Nigma taunted as he and the goons put on their gas masks.
"The answer is a dose of FEAR!" Crane screeched as he entered the room letting his canisters of fear gas free all over the ballroom, which was quickly filling with his gas and screams of fear.
Batman was caught off guard, and was battling the fear gas when someone came behind him. His assailant was caught off guard when the young Robin entered the room and knocked her off her feet. Furious, Nigma knew his plan for Batman's death was ruined, and signaled for everyone to leave. He heard the young boy cry out in pain followed by a woman dressed in high heels and a tight black dress ran past them and escaped in a black dodge charger with tinted windows.
As she sped off, Nigma wondered if that was Sid who past them, her face looked nothing like the girl he had in his pocket. Nightwing was chasing the charger down on his bike as they piled into their getaway van and sped away from the manor. The Batmobile wasn't far behind as the swerved through the streets of Gotham.
"Did you see Wayne?" Nigma asked as they shot at the Batmobile's tires.
"No," Crane growled, as he launched a grenade at the car. "Looks like Sid has failed us."
"From the sound of it I think she got the young bird good if that was her running out," he replied, as he held onto his seat nearly tumbling out of the van after a sharp right turn. "Be careful you buffoons!"
"The face didn't look like hers," Crane replied as the charger from earlier came into view and sideswiped the Batmobile.
The Batmobile swerved into a building and came to a halt, as the charger went around the van and sped off. Nigma and Crane laughed at their good fortune, until they heard shots and their tire exploding. The van flipped and they were thrown out of the back of the van. On her bike sat Batgirl, smirking at them as Nightwing wrangled in the goons trying to escape.
"Looks like you boys are going back to Arkham," Batgirl gloated as Batman approached the scene.
"I don't think so," Sid called out from an alley way now dressed in tight black leather pants and a leather corset top. She was holding a bazooka, and fired it at Batgirl, who tumbled off her bike and ducked behind trash cans as her bike exploded. "Is the little bird still home nursing a knife wound to the gut?"
"You'll pay for what you did to him," Nightwing called out before trying to attack her, she skillfully dodged his punches before landing her own to his gut.
Nigma rolled away from the van and saw his henchmen slinking away with the loot. He knew they would keep his cut or they would die when he found them, and they knew he would find them. Picking up his cane he smacks Batgirl as she came after him. Laughing, he dodged her attacks as Crane went after Batman. Diving out of the way of Batgirl's kicked he kept his focus of skirting her attacks trying to tire her out. He was succeeding until he backed into a trashcan that knocked him off balanced and he found himself handcuffed around a streetlamp.
Crane was faring better, as he got a dose of fear gas into Batman slowing him down. Sid was swiping a knife at Nightwing's midsection which he was dodging. Struggling against the handcuff, he turned to see Crane being thrown across the street and kicked by Batgirl before being handcuffed to the same lamppost.
"This sucks," Nigma said as all three of the bat-family surrounded Sid, who flipped over Nightwing and started to run. "And there she goes."
"What did you expect," Crane grunted as he watched Nightwing and Batman chase after her. "If I knew I was outnumbered I'd run too."
"Don't worry boys she'll be joining you in Arkham soon enough," she smirked as the paddy wagon showed up to take them and the few goons they had caught away to Blackgate and Arkham.
They were carted into the back of the paddy wagon and they were riding in silence back to Arkham. Within the hour they were back in there cells still wearing their torn costumes. Looking around they saw Tetch, Joker, and Harley were locked up as well. Soon Nightwing dragged in a struggling handcuffed Sid whose left eye was starting to swell.
"Count yourself lucky girl," Nightwing growled as he un-cuffed her then shoved her roughly into the cell and slammed the door shut.
"As if a cunt like you could beat me on your own," she hissed back, as she struggled to get up off the floor. "Your master always there to bail out the weak little boy, or do you beg him for help on your knees like the bitch you are!"
"Nightwing," Batman bellowed from the shadows, and Nightwing walked out of their ward without another word.
"What did he do to you?" Crane asked as an orderly shoved an ice pack in her cell and left.
"Used the trip rope to trip me and I fell into a metal fence head first," she snarled as she put the pack to her eye. "I would of out ran him if Batman didn't get involved."
"Yes and let us rot in here," Nigma stated, as he laid back on his bed waiting for them to come in and put them in the Arkham jump suits.
"I would have come for you," she muttered as she sat down on the bed, holding her side. "Now we are all stuck here for now anyway."
"You have a plan?" he asked, but her reply was lost as three orderlies came in and walked in front of her cell.
"Place your hands on the wall," the one ordered, as one of the others punched the code to let her out.
She complied, as they entered her cell. As soon as they tried to put her arms behind her head, she knocked two of them down and grabbed the Taser out of the other orderly who trying to taze her. Tazing him, she handcuff the guard to her bed, as another orderly jumped at her. Slicing his throat with a dagger she had hidden in her boot, the other orderly held up his hands. Walking out of the cell she shut the door and quickly unlocked Nigma and Crane's cell.
"You know the code?" Nigma asked as she freed the other three.
"Memorized it last time we were locked up," she replied as she walked over to the newly rebuilt wall at the end of the ward.
Lifting up her right boot she took off the heel and took out plastic explosive putty and placed it on the wall. She out a string on the end, retrieved a lighter concealed in her other boot and lit it then backed away from the wall hiding behind a cell door.
"What else do you have in those boots," Joker laughed as the rest of them hid behind the open cell doors before the wall exploded and crumbled.
"Nothing I'd tell you about," she replied as she ran to the spot where the boats had been last time and there was Deka in a speed boat waiting for them. They were back in Gotham before the guards had a chance to pursue them.
