One of the inmates attacked with a makeshift knife from a glass shard and a piece of cloth as Henry dodged and grabbed his arm and slammed him to a wall before another one rushed at Henry and Henry kicked him back before he threw his opponent over his shoulder.
Sara pulled out her sticks as two inmates attacked her and Sara blocked the kick of one of them before hitting him in the other leg, causing for him to fall down before she spun around, hitting him in the head and knocking him out. Another one tried to throw punches but Sara blocked with her batons and hit the man in his hip before bashing him in quick succession, knocking him out.
"What the hell was that?" Sara demanded.
"Joker's taken over the asylum." Henry realized. "We gotta find a control room and lock this place down before they escape!"
Outside on the yard, the Canary, Wild Dog, Speedy, Spartan and Mr. Terrific were fighting the inmates in the yard as Wild Dog and Spartan were shooting them down, Mr. Terrific was using his T-Spheres to take down the inmates as he threw them around.
"We need to find the Joker, now!" Green Arrow ordered.
"If he could take control of the asylum, then he must be in the control room!" Batman realized as they rushed down the corridor. They encountered some inmates that drew their guns that they stole from the guards as Batman and the Green Arrow dodged the gunfire before Batman threw a batarang at one of them, disarming him and Green Arrow shot another one down as he fired an arrow.
The inmates were in an armory, seizing the weapons.
"Oh, now you're talking my language, baby!" One of them loaded his gun before they went down the corridor, shooting down the guards and attacking the doctors.
"Now you're going to pay for condemning me as a nutbar and those months of shock therapy." One of the inmates growled, charging Electrocutioner's gloves as he was about to electrocute the doctor.
"Please, I'm sorry, don't hurt me…"
"I think the doctor is supposed to examine the patient, not the other way around." Arsenal quipped before the inmate attacked but Arsenal and Speedy dodged. Speedy fired an arrow, taking down the inmate.
More inmates were in a pier as they shot down some of the policemen and guards before taking a boat, driving towards Gotham mainland.
"Master Wayne, we have a problem." Alfred called out. "Some of the inmates managed to seize the ships and are escaping Arkham Island, heading towards Gotham."
"We need to spread out and find them." Batman ordered.
Gotham City
Black Canary blocked with her sticks as one of the criminals attacked with a piece of pipe, while she kicked him back. Two more attacked her with knives but Black Canary dodged and hit one of them in the leg, causing for him to kneel before she jumped over him and hit another one in the face and then she finished off the one behind her before Batgirl used her grapnel to hang another one onto a lamp, while Katana dodged as one of the inmates rushed at her and she grabbed him by his shirt and slammed him to the ground, while Red Arrow fired two bola arrows, taking down the remaining inmates.
The Huntress and Nightwing were in the docks as a boat with more inmates docked and then, they descended from above as the Huntress fired at a platform with crates above as it collapsed down on some of them as Nightwing engaged the remaining thugs. One of them grabbed a chain and wrapped it around Nightwing's arm but Nightwing pulled and slammed the man to the ground before he jumped forward and kicked two more down and sent a furious barrage into another inmate.
A breach opened as the Flash, Supergirl, Elongated Man, Vibe and Killer Frost went out.
"Well, this isn't good."
The Flash knocked out some of the criminals on the street and restrained them as Killer Frost froze the pavement, causing for the rest of them to slip before Supergirl knocked the rest of them out.
Arkham Asylum
"This is why I didn't want to go back here." Henry snapped as he and Sara walked down the asylum.
"Henry, Sara, are you guys OK?" Felicity called out.
"We're good." Sara said.
"We need to get to the control room, stop the Joker and take control of the asylum." Henry said before two more inmates showed up with shock batons.
Sara threw a knife, taking one of them down as another one attacked Henry, who grabbed his arm and pinned him to a wall before kicking him in the leg, causing for him to kneel and Henry roared, pummeling the man in his face relentlessly until his face was bloodied.
"Hey, Henry, stop!" Sara intervened. "Enough! He's down!" She grabbed Henry by his arm as he came back to his senses as she looked at him, worried. "You OK?"
"I…" Henry paused before looking at his bloodied fist.
"…We should get out of here." Sara suggested as Henry nodded and was about to follow her, when he heard a voice he had hoped he wouldn't have to hear again, causing for him to stop.
"You think you can escape what you did?"
Henry turned around as Damien Darhk was smiling. "It must have felt good, right? Beat him until he bled. After all, back here in Arkham after your breakdown after your daughter's death… you and I are the same, you know, Fyff? You would do anything for your family… just like me…"
Henry walked down, ignoring him.
"And you were full of anger and grief, killing people, after you lost Ashley…" Malcolm Merlyn taunted as Henry ignored him too. "Deep down you know that you can't escape what you did. Maybe you have let go of your past sins… but the past hasn't let go of you. This is where you end up, one way or another."
Henry turned his head and saw Leonard Snart, with a straitjacket, in a padded cell through the glass. "Nothing more but a pathetic man, looking for redemption after lashing out because he lost his baby…"
Henry sighed. "No. I'm not that person anymore. I'm done letting what I did, define me." He went down the corridor, following Sara.
"You can't escape this, Henry!"
"You ended up here before, you end up here again!"
"And this time, you're going to lose everything!"
The Green Arrow and Batman found a doctor in an office, lying on the ground.
"Deegan?" Batman asked, waking the man up.
"What…" Deegan asked. "What happened?"
"Where's the Joker?" Batman demanded.
"Wha… what?" Deegan asked, confused.
"Did you have something to do with this?" Green Arrow demanded. "The inmates are on the loose and earlier tonight, a giant with Venom steroid was attacking innocents in Gotham."
"I don't know anything, I swear…"
"Liar!" Batman snapped.
"Batman, we have a problem." One of the guards called out over the comms.
"Get some guards here to keep an eye on Deegan." Batman ordered.
"If I see any of the cops or guards in here, they're all dead." One of the inmates called out on the CCTV as they had guards and doctors as hostages.
"They stole Crane's Fear toxin." Captain Aaron Cash said. "We try to break into the penitentiary, they'll set off the bombs and all hell breaks loose there."
"We'll take care of it, Cash, don't worry." Batman assured him.
"Let's see what are your phobias." One of the inmates neared the doctor with a vial of Crane's Fear toxin.
"Are you crazy? You want to drive all of us mad?" Another inmate demanded. "That thing is unstable…"
Suddenly, from above descended down a woman with red hair and in bat suit, taking one of the inmates down as she grabbed another one and flipped him over her back and hit him in the face, knocking him out before she threw a batarang, taking down the third thug and grabbed the vial with toxin before it would shatter as the doctors looked freaked out.
"Bat-Batgirl?"
"No." The woman shook her head.
"Who are you?"
"A friend." Batwoman smiled.
