A/N: Ladies and Gentleman, I apologize for the long wait I've made. I also apologize for stating how I'd have large amounts of time to write a lot for Let's Pick a Fight, I have been working with my parents for several events and plans later through summer as well as new daily chores. I do promise however, that I will continue this story and plan to hopefully put up the next chapter a week after July 10th or 11th, only because I have plans for the 1st through 9th (my birthday's in that week! Yay!)

Well, anyways that raps this chapter up for now. If any of you have birthdays in the summer months, happy early birthday from me and I hope you're all enjoying your summer time!

Overwatch is owned by Blizzard Entertainment. Batman: The Arkham Series is owned by Rocksteady, WB Games Montreal, Visceral Gaming and DC Comics.

I own no character except Alex Terrell. The Arkham Knight will be OC, so he will not be Jason Todd or connected in anyway with Bruce Wayne or the Bat Family.

That said, Please Enjoy the Show!

Chapter 9: Face-To-Face

Watchpoint Gibraltar

Red Hood sat outside the medical bay, his chin resting on his tightly gripped helmet, his thought ticking with worry and fear. The door hissed, and Alex looked up to see Mercy who sighed and sat into a seat beside him. "So far, her wound has started healing." She explained, looking at Alex with worry. "Alex, you couldn't have seen it happen."

"I should have," He whispered, looking towards her. "I should be atop of it all, but how can I if I fall so easily? That man, the Arkham Knight, he said I know him….."

"He might be someone you know?" She suggested quietly.

Alex shook his head. "It can't be Jason Todd, it can't be big brother…." He trailed off, he couldn't bear to think of his adoptive brother being a killer again. "But I can tell you this much, Angela. It's personal from here on out."

(Flashback Seville, Spain)

"Lena, get down!" A storming rain of bullets shot through windows of the Spanish Cathedral, the beautiful sunrise ripped away be bullets and explosions as the old Slipstream pilot being pulled down with a cry. Red Hood fired a barrage back, but it did nothing in response to the Militia Rattler and Twin Rattler-class Battle Drones. "Damn! They're really set up for this. Where's Genji?!"

"Ryujin no ken wo kurae!" a pair of twin green dragons rushed out from the side and ripped through the three Militia Drones in the blink of an eye. Militia fired at the Shimada Sparrow, bullets splitting apart of launched back in radical speeds. "I will not falter!"

Red Hood jumped out with Tracer, both rushing to help their ally. Bullets and plasma drove into the last few, sending the down much quickly. "Yes! We did it!" Tracer cheered out in victory, jumping up with a "Whoop!"

"So, you are another survivor of the Slipstream event." Genji looked over Red Hood, his visor glowing steadily as he spoke. "It is nice to see someone similar to Lena and myself, tormented by death and fear but nevertheless pushing on to the future."

"And to you as well, for your achievements through your injuries and past." Red Hood gave a nod of respect back, while Genji returned a familiar Japanese salute. Lena couldn't help but find something similar in the two, both had bad pasts, lost their brothers and were scarred indefinitely. But like Genji said, they strived forward and into the future of peace and civil resting. "Our Orca gunship is not far from this location, I already have the Redstream under way here. Will you stay to help or leave?"

"I recommend our leave, should we let the commoners of this city rest without violence." Genji suggested, rearming his Shuriken wrist launcher and unsheathing his Dragonblade. "The enemy forces are unversed by my presence. It's as I say, a steady blade balances the soul. But a steady heart and nerve balances that soul to make the perfect man."

"Then let us hope their nerves are untroubled by us," Red Hood grinned under his mask, cocking the handguns. Several troops rushed in, two of which were taller than most wearing black and white lines bio-suits similar to Genji's and gas mask like helmets. From above, a red and white colored one maned helicopter hovered above, a spot light and machine gun trained on them. "Who is….?"

From above, by a rope, came the Arkham Knight in his masked glory. Alex blinked, and he felt a wave of anger and a cocky-like tone from the man. "Well, isn't this something? The old Slipstream duo is back, along with Overwatch's robot guinea-pig."

"You dare insult me!" Genji gripped his Dragonblade and was ready to rush forward, but Red Hood held him back with his arm. Red Hood glanced to him brother in arms, shaking his head to say 'not yet.'

"Got something to say?" The Arkham Knight continued. "I would suspect more cockiness from the failure of the Shimada Legacy."

"Leave him out of this!" Red Hood snapped, and the Knight's looked to him.

"Oh, look at you. Making a move before the others, eh?" The Arkham Knight took a step forward, his mask staring into Alex's red helmet. "I'm surprised you haven't said anything to piss me off, I would have expected that from you. Or your time traveling bitch right next to you."

"What did you call me?!" Red Hood pushed Lena back. He knew wha this guy was doing, verbal assault. But it wouldn't work, not with Alex nearby to stop the others.

"Who are you?" Red Hood asked, he knew he probably wouldn't receive an actual answer. "But he'd might as well."

"Who am I?" The Arkham Knight sighed, walking from Genji to Alex and to Tracer. He walked as if contemplating something, whether or not to speak or stay quiet. "Who am I? Hmm… Well, that's simple really. I'm Jason Todd."

The synthesized voice sent Red Hood's handgun to the air and to the Knight's face. "Ah, ah ah…." All the troopers abruptly trained their eyes and guns to Alex, as did the helicopter as its machine gun gave a whirl. "You wouldn't want to do that now, would you little brother?"

"You can't be Jason Todd!" Alex growled in anger, trying to hold back his anger. How dare this man torment him with Jason, how dare he! Alex thought in rage, his finger on the trigger itching. Who the hell did he think he was?! "We are not brothers! You're delusional!"

"Am I?" The Knight walked a circle around Alex, Tracer and Genji stepping back from his sudden movements. "Who helped you know where you were when you came to Gotham? Who trained you for nearly 8 years of your life, hm? And who helped raid Wayne Tower, get shot by Roman Sionis, and had you carry on the Red Hood legacy?"

Alex's hand twitched, and his eyes widened in horror. He can't be Jason He thought as his eyes started watering. His arm trembled as did his whole body. It's impossible! He can't be alive! He can't be! "L-Liar!" Alex stuttered, his hand slowly letting go of the handgun. "Y-You can't be….. You can b-be Jason Todd! Y-You can't be! YOU CAN'T BE!"

The Arkham Knight simply stopped infront of Alex, raising his own handgun built like a replica of Alex's own. Tracer watched with fear, she hadn't seen Alex or his feelings about Jason. And if this Arkham Knight fellow really was Jason, then why would he torment his younger brother? "Believe what you want, Alex." The Knight holstered his handgun, and looked to the rope once more. "But you can't deny it forever, you are my brother. Neither in blood, but in adoption and care."

The Arkham Knight wrapped his arm around the rope, and he was pulled up in a whisk. Once he did, the Militia troops walked slowly around the trio. "Sir, what do we do for now about the Overwatch members?" A trooper by Genji asked, unaware of the cyborg ninja as he took a grenade from the troop's side and a Shuriken in his other hand.

"Kill them, we don't need them ratting me out to the other Overwatch members." The Knight stated calmly, his helicopter whirling away towards another plain. Genji looked around, glancing to Alex who sat on his knees in thought. He felt bad for the younger, he was like Genji. Taunted by sibling turned rival by evil, and forced to fight them for the greater good. The world they lived in was truly dark. "Well? Shoot them, dumbasses!"

Genji threw the grenade and Shuriken forward, sparking an explosion that killed five of the men close by. Concrete and dust burst out the explosion, giving Tracer the opportunity to throw a Pulse Bomb with send several troopers flying. Red Hood's head snapped up, and his handguns rushed to his hands as he fired round after round.

A trooper rushed towards him, but Red jumped over him and fired a round into the troops back. "You aren't getting through me!" One of the brutes roared forward, but Genji's Dragonblade cut through the man's chest, killing him instantly.

The other charged this time to Red Hood, who quickly fired a bullet into the man's knee. The brute growled and kneeled in anger, letting Red Hood jumped onto his back and into the air. A bullet hit the Brutes back head, and Red Hood charged forward tossing several concussion and frag grenades with a roar of rage. "Die!" He screamed in his rage, resorting to physical violence. Troopers tried to hit him, but they received a bullet to the head or both arms and/or legs breaking, then a bullet to the head. "All of you, just die already!"

The remaining troops, barely five or six, realized the enraged threat and rushed away and out the Cathedral in fear. "Run! He's killing everyone!" Two Twin Rattlers moved in to fire rounds at the Red Hood, but the roar of the Redstream took their attention. A barrage of missiles and bullets ripped the two to shreds, and obliterated any escaping Militia vehicles or tanks.

Alex sat in the middle of the small massacre, breathing heavily as he stared at where the Arkham Knight's helicopter once was. "Genji, get to the Orca. Tracer and I will take the Redstream," Red Hood huffed out, standing as he stared forward. He couldn't bear to look to the scared face of Tracer and the masked, but not noticeable concerned face of Genji. "Go!"

The cyborg nodded, and looked to Tracer. "Keep him calm and safe, Lena." He stated, sheathing his Dragonblade before rushing out the Spanish church.

The two stood in silence for a while, neither could possibly understand the others feelings. "C'mon." Alex whispered to his friend, turned around and making his way out the Cathedral and into the courtyard center.

"Alex, are you alright?" Tracer asked, but she felt the answer would be a scream of anger towards the Knight or her for asking that.

"I-I….. I don't know…." Alex was honestly all over the place in his head, all those memories of Jason helping him train, all those good and bad times when they stood by like brothers…. Did any of that matter now that he knew his brother returned to being a murder. "Let's just please get back to Gibraltar, Lena. Please…."

"Alright." The pair walked in silence through the courtyard, the trees brushing their leaves in the warm air. Not a sound came from the Red Hood, aside from his breath and footsteps. As quick as lightning, a bullet and its smoke like trail rushed forward to the red vigilante. Red Hood dodged it, grabbing Tracer's hand before rushing to the tower. "Damn, sniper! We got to get to the tower!"

Red Hood ran fastly, the snipers bullets barely missing the two. From the opposite side of the Cathedral, Militia Cobra, Rattler and Twin Rattlers fired unmarked rounds through the ancient structure, hoping to his a target. "They're bringing this whole place down!" Tracer blinked forward, surprisingly pulling Red Hood in her blink when they jumped to the tower doorway. "Let's go, hurry!"

Large and small bullets ripped through the tower inners, the two having to duck and run as they made it closer to the top. "Come on, the Redstream is just around this-!" Red Hood was cut off as he jumped in front of Tracer, a sniper round roaring through the concrete wall and into Tracer's chest. Red's eyes widened in sheer and absolute horror as he saw his friend, gasping in pain before falling back the stairs. "LENA!"

Red Hood rushed forward, picking his injured friend up bridal style before rushing up. Outside, the Redstream quickly shifted to vertical hover mode in time as Red Hood seemingly jumped out the tower with Lena in his arms and into the cockpit. "D-Don't die on me, Lena!" He stuttered, placing her in the copilot seat before entering the front pilot seat. "Don't die, I-I mean it! Damn the Arkham Knight, he'll pay with his life!"

The Redstream roared away from the Cathedral's tower as it fell along with the whole Cathedral, dust filling the air. As it did, it gave Genji's Orca and the Redstream a smoke cover to escape towards the southern parts of Spain, toward Gibraltar. "Winston, tell Mercy to be ready when we get there!" Red Hood contacted his ally through the comms, hoping he'd respond. "Lena was shot, she needs medical help stat!"

"Oh god, I'm on it!" Winston called out, allowing Alex to focus on the piloting. He glanced back to Lena, who gasped in air and looked paler by the second. His heartbeat grew faster, and his eyes darted from her to the ground, praying they were closer to Gibraltar right now.

(Present time, Gibraltar)

"I'll kill the Arkham Knight though, Angela." Alex murmured to the Valkyrie medic of their force, his eyes showing barely any regard to her concerned face. "I promise you, Tracer and everyone else in Overwatch and all across the world that much."

Angela didn't know what was worse, the fact Alex's mental state was breaking slowly because of his past and traumatic experiences. Or the fact he reminded her so much of Gabriel Reyes, his personality, way of fighting, even the way he spoke. It was so familiar to Angela, that it was terrifying.

"Alex," the two looked up to see Winston, holding a data pad in his hand. "You may want to see this."

Alex placed his mask to the side, taking the pad from Winston. The image on it was the bullet round that his Lena, a dark silver with a spider emblem on the side. "Widowmaker," His eye twitched slightly, he had a feeling the ex Overwatch operative was the one who did it earlier, and now it was confirmed.

"It's weird though," Winston slide the image to the next on the pad, showing the other side. The other side caught Alex off guard, it was the Arkham Knight's personalized Arkham symbol carved into the center. "The Arkham Knight's helicopter had traveled out of the country, and towards the old Buzludzha Communist Headquarters, located on Mount Buzludzha in Kazanlak, Bulgaria."

So the Arkham Knight has met Alex Terrell face to face, and claims to be Jason Todd. But is he really who he says he is? Please write down a review saying who you think the Arkham Knight may be in reality under that mask, and how you're enjoying the story. I love to you guys opinions on the topic at hand.

That said, this is the KnightOfZ3R0 signing off!
