Chapter 11 – Birds

Gotham resembles more a war zone than a city. I have never seen anything like this. I don't believe Arkham City was this bad. At least there wasn't an army defending criminals.

Speaking of army even the rooftops aren't safe. Arkham Knight isn't messing around. It feels like every other rooftop is filled with militia and sentry guns. Gotham has went straight to hell under Scarecrow's guidance.

Most of the time watchtowers are higher than me so I need to look out their firepower. Luckily one girl isn't easy to notice and I've stayed undercover so far. But today isn't my day.

One of the red lights hits me and I immediately panic. I hear gunfire go off and without thinking I jump off the roof. I maybe managed to get out of gunfire but I have another problem. I can't fly.

I'm hanging on the edge of the building only my hands holding on to the edge. Roof is wet and slippery and I feel my grip slip. It's only matter of seconds for my grip to loosen and me falling to my death.

Out of nowhere a hand appears. It pulls me to my safety but it's too quick for my eyes to be aware of my surroundings. Somebody holds me and we fly to somewhere. I can only register the ground under us.

"You're safe now. And officer will come and pick you up." The one and only Batman stands in front of me. He is taller than I thought and he looks scarier than I imagined.

"Wait! Don't go!" I shout desperately when I notice his grappling hook. "I'm Rebecca Robinson."

That stops him and he turns to look at me properly. He notices my outfit but I can't read his face since most of it is covered with a mask.

"I know this looks bad but please don't tell the cops." I beg. I remove my stupid mask as an act of trust.

"Give me one good reason why." His voice is low, almost like a grumble.

"I did a mess earlier tonight and I need to fix it. If I go to GCPD I can't fix anything." Okay, maybe I'm not telling the whole truth but it's better than lying.

"You would be safe there."

"I know. But I need to fix this. Please?" I try.

Batman stays silent for a moment just analyzing me. I feel like he knows that I'm not telling everything.

"Fine. But you better not get into trouble. I have work to do. Take this." He gives me a small communicator. I attach it to my wrist but when I look up he is gone.

"Hey? If you can hear this, please don't tell Nightwing that you saw me. He is going to be so pissed." I shout after him. I have no glue if Batman hears me or not but I'm not going to stay here and wait for an answer. I hear screaming from the watchtower. I guess Batman didn't go that far. Soon sentry guns blow up leaving me the freedom to move.

I try different buttons on my communicator. It opens a hologram screen. "Cool." I browse different features and find a call button. I press it and tap Dick's number on it. I thank my luck that I have only one friend who has a phone number. I only need to remember about three numbers and since I rarely ever leave my apartment I can memorize all of them.

"Rebecca?" His voice says after couple peeping sounds.

I'm not sure where to talk so I awkwardly lift the communicator closer. "Yeah, it's me. Did you get out?"

"From Gotham, you mean. I live in Blüdhaven, remember?" His voice sounds a bit weird. I admit that I'm not good at reading people but I sense that something is off.

"What's wrong? You sound weird." I ask.

"Nothing. Just a flu. Where are you?" He changes subject.

"Still in Gotham. I kinda missed the evacuation." I'm not sure what to say to Dick.

"Are you safe? Where are you?" He asks. He sounds worried.

"Listen. I need to tell you something. Shit is going down here. Earlier at the evening, before all this started, or actually it might have been yesterday. Anyway when Scarecrow poisoned Pauli's diner, my old work place, I was going to work and I accidentally pumped at the wrong person at the street."

"What do you mean?" Dick asks.

Hell, I might as well tell him everything. "It was this new Arkham Knight guy's soldier. He is helping Scarecrow. He has his own militia and bombs and tanks and guns. The soldier-guy kidnapped me because I saw too much. He locked me into his trunk and he and his militia buddy took me to their safe house. Then this Arkham Knight came in."

"Wait. What?" Dick interrupts me.

"Shut up and listen. As I was saying, Knight came in bringing Poison Ivy. I guess she didn't do as Scarecrow wanted. But then Knight left her there and took me instead. So we left and I tried to escape and tazered him." I swear that I heard him sigh. "Obviously that didn't work as I wanted and he recaptured me quickly. He took my tazer and knife. So then I was taken to Stagg's airship. So I panicked and tried to escape again. This time it worked little better and I managed to get a hostage. I almost got out until Knight came back carrying this new girl. I think she was Gordon's kid. So he stopped my escape but I panicked again and shot him to the chest."

"You did what? How did you even get a gun?" Dick interrupts me again.

"I'm telling you. So he had an armor but I had time to hide. Long story short he captured me again and because I was being difficult he brought me to Scarecrow and I got to taste his toxin." I stay silent for a moment trying to fight against flashback. "After that memories are little blurry. Punch Line decided to show her face. I believe she and Knight had conversation and somehow she was able to get us free. I only remember Knight being really angry. His anger was terrifying. So Punch Line escaped successufully and I think Nightwing helped her. I'm not sure how. I remember being brought to their secret lair and this is the worst part."

"Go on."

"I met Robin."

"How terrifying." He sarcastically interrupts.

"Shut up. That's not what I meant and you know it. Anyway, Robin showed me to their other prisoners. You heard the news about those missing people, right? Like that headmaster and singer and so on. They were Jokerfied. Like some sort of weird sickness." I know this is important and I try to remember every single detail that I can but it hurts my brain. "They have Joker's blood in them or something. But I remember five cells but one was empty. I can't remember how I got out but something scared the living hell out of Punch."

"You are not Punch Line anymore. What happened?" Dick asks.

"We had a fight. She was trying to kill this guy. I wasn't going to allow that happen. Not again. I have enough blood in my hands. So we argued and then she pushed me into a water. Or maybe she jumped. It was unclear." It feels so good to finally tell everything to somebody.

"But you can't swim. How did you got out?"

"I don't know. When I woke up I saw Nightwing again but I don't think he saved me. He had this girl with him. She was his prisoner but managed to get free and tried to make me her hostage. Nightwing defeated her and left me to take her away. She called herself Raven or something."

"Are you with Nightwing right now?"

"No. I'm not waiting him to rescue me. Do you know how big mess Punch caused? I went to my apartment to get my meds and stuff." I'm not going to tell him about Joker's "gift". Even though he is dead, he is still everywhere.

"Idiot. You need to get to safety. How did you call me by the way? I though your phone was broken."

"It is. Batman gave this to me." I say.

"Batman? When did you met him?" He sounds surprised.

"About a minute before I called you." I answer truthfully.

"What are you going to do now?" Dick asks.

"First I'm gonna check Dr. Cassidy."

"And then?"

Before I can answer a giant plant grows next to me. And I mean giant. It's a huge flower, taller than buildings around it. It grows so powerfully that it makes the ground vibrate. It makes me fell and accidentally drop my communicator. It ends the call but it appears to be still intact.

"Shit." I look at the huge plant that rises in front of me. "That's not gonna capture some attention."

"Now, can we talk about your childhood?" Cassidy asked. I was sitting on my chair in another taped interview. Because I had been acting nicely I've been moved to another cell and given some personal stuff including gum.

"Like I have a choice." I murmured under my breath. "Sure, whatever you say, doc." I said louder.

"You have three siblings. Is that correct?" She checked on my medical file. Rebecca's family wasn't allowed to meet me yet. Not at least face to face. I was apparently too sick.

"Had."

"Your oldest brother, Robert, died eight years ago."

I didn't answer but I stopped chewing my gum.

"Where you close?" Cassidy asked with a sympathy in her voice.

"Yeah. Rebecca was pretty close with him." I removed myself on the sentence.

"Can you tell me more about Robert?"

To be honest I would rather crap her stupid pen and stab her into the eye with it but world was cruel to me.

"He was twelve when he died. We used to play Mario Cart together. He always hated when I tried to sneak to his room and play spy with Ray and Ronald. We weren't that good to stay undercover." I smiled. Rebecca seemed like she wanted to talk about this.

"I see."

"Mom and dad loved him. After he died everything fell apart. Robert was the only one who Rebecca told about her obsession with him. I think they were close."

Cassidy noticed how I changed me to her. She stayed silent.

"That was of course before Robert school was bombed."

"Police never caught the guilty, am I correct?"

"No. Those bastards are too corrupt for that. I heard they captured the right guy. Black Mask a.k.a. Roman Sions. The mob boss that controlled the whole fucking city until he took him down. The bastard had so much money that he could bribe anyone. And bastards at the GCPD are still so corrupt that they transferred underage girl to a dangerous prison full of dangerous psychopaths. And why is that? Because the biggest criminal in town wanted a new toy!" I didn't notice when I had stood up but I was shouting to scared looking Cassidy only my hands handcuffed to the table.

"I think we can end this interview here. Guards, take her back to her cell." She pushed button under her desk that called guards. I was quickly back in my cell. After the guards disappeared I let myself drop the first tear. Silently I allowed the tears come. It was the first time in years that I cried.

Dick is almost in Penguin's last hideout. He earlier told Bruce his other hideout but after hearing that Penguin himself is hiding over here Dick couldn't help to get a head start. He is an independent hero for God sake. He doesn't need Bruce's permission to do his job. And Dick is in a hurry. He still has to find out who Raven is and where is Rebecca.

She called him earlier and told some interesting details. What did Punch Line do to piss of Knight so badly? And even Rebecca didn't have a clue who helped her out of the water. Other interesting detail is how did she got out from the movie studios. After this Dick needs to call Tim.

Multiple Penguin's men are watching for him but Dick easily finds a route around them. He confidently walks straight through the door without bothering to hide. The room is full of thugs. There is more of them than Dick expected but Penguin is also in there.

"Kill that cocky bastard." Penguin shouts waiving his umbrella.

This is Dick's favorite thing on the job if he didn't include flying. Actually fighting against bad guys. He is good at it. One of the best. But this time it isn't enough.

Finally couple of Penguin's men are lucky enough to capture Dick. He took down most of Penguin's men but they got the upper hand.

"Hey, Oswald. You're losing." He smiles to his smaller opponent.

"Don't get too cocky, boy. It's time to call big bad Bat here." Penguin's men bring in a camera.

Dick throws a cocky grin at it. "Good news. I found Penguin. He's right where we want him."

Penguin hits Dick near neck. "Cocky little bastard." He lifts Dick to sit straight. "You been takin' from me all night Batman. It's time I did a little takin' of my own.

"Bats, I'm fine! Don't worry about me." Dick yells at the camera. Thug who holds camera shuts is and kicks Dick to the torso.

"He is all yours boys." Penguin leaves Dick's eyesight. He leaves his goons to beat Dick up. He knows Bruce will be here soon. Penguin was wise to leave them.

Thugs try to hurt and make him mad but Dick keeps his positive attitude. "Don't expend too much energy forming words. You're going to need it later."

"You ain't getting outta this punk! You're gonna die in here." Thugs hits him.

"There is nothing like beatin' on Batman's friends." Other thug says.

Dick continues ignoring their punches and poking fun of them. This only irritates them more.

"Hey! His up. Boss wants to finish this one himself." Some other goon interrupted.

"You hear that, Nightwing? We're gonna keep you alive for a little bit longer." The thug who is currently beating Dick says.

"More stimulating conversation. Great." Dick sounds bored.

"Aw, let me hit him, please?" Despite asking permission the thug raises his hand ready for a punch.

"Hey! What did I just say?" The goon in charge says.

"I know, the boss wants him alive. It's just his face, it's so… hittable!" Dick has heard that one before.

"Look at it this way, it's something to look forward to." His friend tries to comfort him.

"Yeah, I guess." Dick's beater admits.

"What you even doing here? You got no business being in this city?" Now the thugs are sounding like Bruce.

At the same moment Batman bursts through the wall behind Dick's back. He throws Dick and his chair to another goon breaking the char, freeing Dick and knocking out the goon. Dick and Bruce clear the room quickly. They take down the goons together. They really don't have a chance against Batman and Nightwing.

After Dick finishes the last thug Bruce starts talking: "What did you think you were doing coming here alone?"

"A thank you for finding this place would be nice. You should be happy, we got all the caches. The Penguin is finished." Dick says defending himself.

"We still need to find him." Bruce reminds.

"I doubt he stuck around." Dick says remembering earlier.

Bruce just turns around and goes to the vault to spray his explosive gel to the dynamite ready to blow it up. He comes back and starts to close the vault door.

"Well ain't this cosy!" Penguin is holding his gun on Dick's head. Now he understands Rebecca's frustration on being a prisoner all the time.

"You need to keep an eye on this one, Batman. He's a bit too careless for my liking." Penguin lefts out a dark chuckle. "Come any closer and you get to see the contents of his head!"

"Hey, Oz. Do you remember the Flying Graysons?" Dick bluffs.

His bluff is enough to distract Penguin. Bruce attacks and he and Dick take him out. Bruce blows his final vault and knocks out Penguin.

"You know I was just going to suggest you to do that." Dick comments. "So here's the part where you tell me off…"

"I'm proud of you, Dick." Bruce sounds serious. He looks Dick in the eyes.

"Are you feeling okay?" This isn't how Bruce usually acts.

"This is the end. This is the last time we meet." Bruce says.

"Don't talk like that. This won't stop you. Nothing stops you." Dick isn't sure is he trying to convince Bruce or himself.

"Keep Blüdhaven safe. Promise me." Bruce holds out his hand for Dick.

"It's okay Bruce, I get it. You just don't want me hanging around, stealing the limelight." Dick backs away trying to keep his tone light.

"Dick…" Those four letters sound so familiar and so desperate at the same time.

"I won't let you down." Dick says on a serious note. He uses his grappling hook to get away but he still hears Bruce's silent "I know."

Could Crane actually do it? Could he stop Bruce and Batman?

A/N: Okay most of this chapter went for making up a mistake that I did earlier. This is why you should write all before posting it guys. But now we are on the right track. And on a side note: Did you see the new Star Wars Force Awakens? Not gonna lie, I cried (it was so GOOD) and I might write something on it. And who else is exited for Season of Infamy? Next chapter will probably be linked some of the missions.

Guest: Thank you!

Thanks for all of you who are following/favorite this and even those who are only reading this. Special thanks to those who had left a review and Merry Christmas for you all!
