Chapter 12: First of Many Battles
"You know a part of me kind of wish that you could have wait until in the morning if you wanted to tell me something" Ironwood said as he looked at Batman.
The two of them were standing on a roof at Beacon where Batman wanted to meet with Ironwood imdeiteally its been only a couple of hours since his battle with Torchwick and he and his daughter team worked together to take Torchwick down but sadly he escaped before Batman could catch him again.
"I figure you know what I just learn tonight that could be important for you in the future" Batman said.
"Oh and what would that be?" Ironwood asked the dark crusader of Atlas.
"A couple of hours ago I along with team RWBY we were looking for any clues about Torchwick and the White Fang" Batman said.
"Team RWBY you were investigating with students" Ironwood said in a somewhat disbelief tone while he doesnt mind hunters and huntress in training getting some extra experience unlike Ozpin he figured somebody like Torchwick would be too much for them.
"It was their idea and they actually contacted me you should at least give them enough credit" Batman calmly said.
"That's true I almost forgot Weiss was on team Ruby and Qrow's nieces are on the team I shouldn't be surprised on how skilled they are" Ironwood said.
"Then what happen?" he asked.
"After we gather we split up to search for any information about Torchwick and the White Famg I was with Blake Belladonna and we snuck into a White Fang ralley and that's when we saw Torchwick" Batman said.
"So its tire then Torchwick is really with the White Fang" Ironwood said.
"That's not all he also somehow stolen one of your mechs you were planning on showing to the public soon" Batman said.
"What! how did he managed to steal one our mechs so easily!" Ironwood yelled.
"From what he said at the meeting it was his employer that managed to steal some of the mechs before they were even revealed to the public" Batman said to Ironwood.
"Employer so somebody hired Torchwick then" Ironwood said.
"That seems to be the case it seems that his employer stole these mechs so that they can have the White Fang on their side and I'm willing to bet that the employer hire Torchwick to steal all of that dust" Batman said.
"Well we are finally starting to put the pieces together but we still don't have a lot to go on" Ironwood said.
"Do you maybe think Salem is behind this?" Batman ask.
"Its possible but so far we don't have any proof that its actually her she really hasn't made any moves recently" Ironwood said.
"Whatever the case is Ironwood I have a feeling something big is about to happen and we need to prepare for the worst possible outcome" Batman said.
"I agree but knowing Oz he will probably tell us to wait it out again but I'll see what I can do to convince him to take action' Ironwood said.
"See to it that you do in the meantime I'll try to see if I can find any info on Torchwick employer or maybe try to find and capture him myself" Batman started to say as he started to walk away.
"Hold on a minute Batman" Ironwood said as Batman stopped and turned his head to look at Ironwood.
"What is it?" Batman asked.
"In Beacon there a dance that's coming up in a few days I would a appreciate it if maybe if you keep an eye out on things at Beacon while the dance is going on" Ironwood said.
"Alright I'll standby and see if anything suspicious is happening at Beacon and I forgot to mention something Torchwick mentioned something about a hideout in the soitheast Batman said.
"Thank you Batman I'll be sure to look into that as well" Ironwood said as he smiled at the dark knight.
Batman merely turned back around as he walked away and disappeared into the shadows and left Ironwood alone who sighed a bit.
"Looks like I better go and tighten security regarding our mechs just so they won't get stolen again" Ironwood said as he began to leave the area as well.
So a couple of days have past since the Torchwick incident and during that time Batman have been looking around the kingdom to see if he could find Torchwick but so far no luck at all.
But doing those days Willow had actually called him to check on him plus the fact that he told her about the dance and Weiss had somebody in mind to ask according to her. He was glad that Weiss was going to have fun and if somebody breaks her heart thst will have hell to pay with.
We head towards tonight of the dance Batman was currently keeping watch from the roof nothing out of the ordinary so far but he was wondering why was Weiss sitting by herself did she get rejected by the guy she wanted to ask to the dance.
Batman frowned there nothing wrost as a parent then seeing your child sad he really wanted to go up there and confront Weiss he really couldn't since technically he was working maybe hopefully Weiss night doesn't turn out so bad.
Luckily Batman was right as the dance didn't turn out so bad and Weiss was dancing with some blue haired boy and everybody was dancing though he didn't get why some blonde haired guy was wearing a dress.
But overall he was glad that Weiss was having a great time but sadly it looks like he couldn't enjoy the view a bit longer as he saw a mask woman jumping from building to building. Batman glared as he turned invisible and quickly followed the woman however he wasn't the only one as Ruby also noticed her and ran to chase after her.
Once Batman arrived at the scene he saw that the woman was knocking out the guard and what he had to guest it was CCT tower here at Beacon and once he saw that the woman was about to go in he threw his Batarangs until they were stuck on the door nearly missing the woman face by a few inches.
"Going somewhere now then why don't you turn around slowly I have a few questions for you" Batman said as he was slowly walking to her the woman wasted anytime and fired some arrows at Batman but Batman wasted little time and turned invisible dodging the arrows.
"Damn where did he go" the woman thought as she looked around for Batman but she got her answer as the dark knight tap her and he appeared behind her and gave her a swift kick to her stomach that senses her a great distance back.
But Batman wasted little time and went after the woman who slowly got up and Batman wasted little time and went multiple punches at the woman but the woman managed to dodge and block his punches effectively and started to counter attack.
She also quickly did some some punches but Batman mostly blocked them until she kicked him back a few feet.
"She good" Batman thought he then saw that her clothes were glowing and he looked and saw a glass like substance in front of her and she fired spear like projectors at Batman but he quickly got out his Batarangs and threw at the spears causing to cancel each other out.
Batman then saw the woman clothing glow and she created two swords and she created two swords and she quickly went up to Batman and swung her blades at him but Batman easily dodging the swings and once she went for a stab he dodge to the left grab her right arm and struck at different spots causing her to drop her weapon before kicking her towards the ground.
"Tch my arm I can't move it" the woman thought.
"I targeted the pressure points in your arm you won't be able to move your arm for a few minutes now tell me who are you and why are you trying to get into the tower" Batman asked.
But the woman just griteed her teeth as she stood up and held her arm and didn't answer Batman.
"Fine I'll beat the answer out of you fair warning I won't go easy on you just because your a woman" Batman said.
"Batman!".
Batman and the woman turn and saw Ruby running with Crescent Rose in hand.
"Stay back" Batman yelled as he said that both Batman and Ruby saw the woman grab some orbs and she threw them into the ground witch resulted in a smoke screen like explosion.
"A smoke screen" Batman said once the smoke screen disappeared he noticed and saw that the woman was gone.
Speaking of the woman who was running she was very frustrated to say the least "damn that Batman he nerley ruined everything I never thought I would have to go to plan B" the woman said as she made a call.
"Emerald" the woman said.
"What's wrong Cinder its something wrong" Emerald asked Cinder.
"Batman spotted me and I had to fight him off call some people and have them to hack into the tower now" Cinder said.
"Of course ma'am ill get started right away" Emerald said as she hung up her scroll.
"Damn that Batman I am going to have to kill him fast or else my plans will be completely ruined!" Cinder thought as her eye glowed angry at the fact that Batman got in the way and almost ruined her plans tonight.
Meanwhile back with Batman Ruby walked up to Batman "are you okay what happened?"
"I'm fine I saw her runing into the area and I confronted her hear what are you doing here Ruby?" Batman asked..
"At the dance I saw her jumping from roof top to roof top and so I followed her and that's when I ran and saw you two fighting each other just who was she Batman" Ruby said.
"I don't know...you did great coming here and taking action but right now you should head back to the dance and maybe tell your teachers what you saw tomorrow" Batman said.
"I understand I guess I'll see you around" Ruby said she then started to walk away from the area and when she looked back she noticed that Batman was already gone.
"I swear I will never get use to that" Ruby thought as she continue to head back to the dance.
At the same time Batman was running and leaving the area and he had so many questions in mind about that woman and who she was but one thing that's for certain to the dark night this was the first of many battles that had yet to come.
