Flashback!

"I was walking home from the arena," Bolin began. "We only played one game , and we lost, but that's besides the point."

Bolin walked down a street of a reasonably rough looking neighbourhood. He was only walking down this particular street because it was the quickest way home.

"I passed a dark alleyway then suddenly heard a voice," Bolin Narrated.

"You there," the voice called out from the dark. Bolin was caught off guard.

"Who me?" Bolin answered with a finger pointed at himself.

"Yes you!" the voice said with a cackle. "You're Bolin! That famous pro-bender of the Fire Ferrets."

"Oh yes," Bolin acknowledged. "That's me. What can I do for you?"

"Oh nothing much," the voice continued. "Just a piece of you."

"Right, right," Bolin answered pulling out a pen. "So an autograph right?"

"Actually," the figure said as he emerged from the shadows with a knife in hand. "I think your head will do!"

The figured stepped into the dark light. Bolin was paralyzed in absolute fear. The figure wore a purple suit, had green hair, bright red lips and his eyes. Bolin could not stop starring at his eyes. The figure's eyes were bright yellow with red irises. Bolin snapped out of it and tried to earth bend but the figure struck and pinned Bolin against the alley wall with a knife to his throat.

"No please don't!" Bolin yelped. He tried to free himself but the colourful man was way stronger then he was.

"Hahahaha!" The man yelled as he lowered his knife into Bolin. His very life flashed before his eyes, but suddenly!

"That's enough Joker!" a certain cloaked figure dove down from the rooftops onto Joker. Joker released Bolin and engaged in a fight with the cloaked figure. Bolin could hardly believe what he was witnessing. He didn't even realize that it had started to rain. He could make out moments of the fight as the thunder struck.

The cloaked figure delivered a solid punch to Joker's face. He held him up by the caller.

"Oh batsy," Joker began. "Why must you ruin the fun?"

"No games tonight Joker!" Batman growled. "Why are you in Republic city!?

"My dear dark knight," Joker began as he drew a knife discreetly. "If I told you that…"

Joker took a swipe at Batman's chest, making a clear cut in his upper body. A good eight inches long. Batman dropped Joker and fell back holding his wound. His blood began to spill onto the concrete ground.

"Then where would all the fun be?" Joker continued as he swished his knife around, landing two more cuts on the dark knight. One cut in his left fore arm and one on his right shoulder. Just then the earth bended under Joker's feet throwing him off-balance. Batman took this opportunity to deliver two strong punches to Joker's face, knocking him out temporarily. Batman looked to see Bolin with a paralyzed look in his eyes. Batman walked foreword. Bolin began walking backwards in fear.

"Stay back!" Bolin ordered. "I know earth bending!"

"Relax Bolin," Batman said.

"Yeah well… how do you know my name?" Bolin asked.

"You're a fairly famous pro-bender," Batman explained. "Who wouldn't know you."

"That's… true I guess," Bolin said. "Thank you for saving my life."

"I should be thanking you," Batman acknowledged as he began to clean up his chest wound. "You are a friend of the Avatar right?"

"Why yes I…. wait a minute," Bolin calculated. "You were the one who beat up Korra and Mako!"

Bolin began to Earth bend towards Batman, but the Dark Knight calculated this and struck. Nothing to fierce, he just blocked Bolin's chi.

"What the?" Bolin stuttered as he tried to bend. "You can chi block!"

"It's not that difficult," Batman explained. "Back to business. I want you to send Korra a message for me."

End of Flashback.

Korra had ben fixated on Bolin's story. Mako was still debating as whether he should believe his brother or not.

"That's quite the story Bolin," Korra commented. "I can't believe he saved your life. All he did was beat me up."

"What was the message?" Mako asked with intensity.

"Oh yeah the message," Bolin began. "He wants to talk with you Korra."

"What!?" Korra blurted out. "Talk with me? why?"

"He didn't say why but he did say where," he explained. "On top of republic city police HQ."

Mako looked at Korra with just as much confusion as she did to him.

"Is he turning himself in?"

"Oh also, also," Bolin interrupted. "He only wants you and Chief Beifong."

Korra looked at Mako again. They could not comprehend

"Could this be a trap?" Korra asked.

"I'm not sure," Mako contemplated. "When did he say to meet her?"

"Tomorrow night at 11 pm sharp," Bolin said. "That's everything he said. He darted off after that. Oh and the Joker disappeared after he was done talking with me."

Korra sat there thinking what to do. Korra knew that Mako would be worried to the extreme if she decided to meet up with Batman.

"I'll do it," she proclaimed.

"What!? Mako and Bolin blurted out. "No way! This is to big of a risk."

"Bolin told us that Batman saved his life and wants to meet peacefully," Korra explained. "He wants to meet in top of police HQ, a huge building full of cops. If anything he is walking into a trap."

"That way if anything goes wrong we can get the jump on him!" Mako figured out.

"Yes, this is perfect!" Korra commented on.

Just outside.

Batman was crouching on the roof listening in on the conversation. He had placed a small, remote tracker on Bolin's jacket and was able to hear everything that just went through.

"So that's how it's going to be?" Batman said to himself. He shot his grappling hook in search of The Joker.
