Wow this has been a while. I thought this would be an interesting story but I didn't expect it to be liked so much so fast. Heck it is only the first chapter and by the time this goes up it has 29 reviews and over 80 favorites and nearly 100 follows. So, while I am sure people are disappointed it hasn't been updated yet, Blackheart and I wanted the next chapter to be done to a higher level which meant we wouldn't rush it and worked hard to give quality work. Now we are done and I feel I have done a decent job at it and one I hope you all enjoy.

Also, shout out to Sai Kunai Blade for the challenge and for everyone supporting it. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Disclaimer; Blachkeart0009 and I do not own Pyrrha from RWBY nor do I own Batman Arkham series. The closest is the games themselves but I don't think they count.

The Invincible Girl: Arkham Asylum

Chapter 2: Trails and Trials

The duo ran up the ramp towards the second security office and the hallway where Joker fled. It was only when Pyrrha heard a strange sound did she stop. She peeked into the security office to see something she found very odd. "chattering teeth?"

Batman paused when he heard that. He turned back and examined the room with Pyrrha. The room was bare, with three wound up teeth chattering away on the floor. Batman scowled after taking a quick scan, "left behind by the Joker. He mostly uses them for either distraction or arms them with bombs. These ones are harmless."

"Should we leave them?" Pyrrha asked since he said they were harmless.

Batman said nothing before a quick flick of his wrist sent three bat shape shuriken at the teeth, breaking them at once. "just break any you see. I rather not have Joker have some armed with bombs later or to distract any guard once Joker is caught again."

Pyrrha nodded before following him once again. When they reached the first turn Pyrrha had to hold a gasp seeing a guard slumped against the wall, not moving. Batman scowled before he said, "Everywhere that madman goes, death is sure to follow."

Pyrrha herself frowned, thinking how much this Joker was like Grimm; causing nothing but death to innocence. Seeing as they couldn't help the guard the pair took off again, quickening their pace. Overhead they saw a video feedback loop of the warden speaking of some of the rules and how patients should take their medications. Once they reach the end of the hall which splits into two paths, an alarm was blaring with red lights flashing. But the barely took notice as a pair of inmates appeared and charged at them. Batman beat the man to the first hit with a swift punch to the jaw. The second punched at Pyrrha but the woman raised her shield, causing the inmate to cry out and hold his hand in pain. Pyrrha didn't give him a chance to recover by ducking low and sweeping the man's legs from under him. Once down Pyrrha was up and delivered a solid blow to his face, knocking him out. Another thump behind her and she saw Batman had only knocked his opponent out. Once done Pyrrha was able to hear a voice over the speaker and alarms. "Warning: security breach in level B2. Warning: Security breach in level B3. Warning: Security breach in level B8."

"That's not good," Pyrrha said, while not knowing where those levels were, she knew that the inmates and patients should not be let loose.

"We'll get to them soon enough," Batman pointed out, "but Joker comes first."

"Which way then?" Pyrrha asked, not sure which path the madman took.

Batman took a glance at both before pointing to the left, behind Pyrrha. Not only were there a few more bodies of guard but more of the Joker teeth. At the end of the hall, near a thick door one of the guard was getting up, much of Pyrrha's relief. The guard spotted them and called out, "Hey Batman! Over here!"

Batman took the lead, not pausing as he broke one set of teeth while Pyrrha slashed at another when she walked by. Once in front of the guard the man asked, "what happen? And who's this?"

"She's with me," Batman said quickly so not to waste time. "and Joker happen. You're lucky to be alive."

"He must have gone this way," the guard said thumbing to the door over his shoulder, "Door's jam but I'll try and get it open."

"Thank you," Pyrrha said, glad something was going right for once.

But then the radio the guard carried came to life. "We need help in Pacification. I repeat: we need backup in Pacification. Can anyone hear this?"

The guard smacked his radio head before calling out into it, "can you hear me? I'm with Batman. Hello?"

"Where are they?" Batman asked at once which got a nod from Pyrrha, not wanting to abandon anyone that needed help.

"Back that way," the guard said, pointing down the path behind them, "do you need help?"

"We got this, focus on that door," Batman ordered him.

"Zsasz is free!" the guard over the radio shouts, "Oh god. He got Mike."

The heroes ran down the hallway as the guard called over the radio, "Franklin can you hear me? If you can, helps on the way."

As raced pass their starting point Batman reached and pressed the communication piece in his cowl, "Oracle, can you hear me?"

"I'm sorry?" Pyrrha asked aloud, taken back by this sudden conversation.

"Not now," Batman ordered firmly before listening as his intelligence agent responded.

"Loud and clear; who's that with you?"

"An ally for now," Batman explained, "Joker escaped custody. He's running free in Arkham."

"Do you need anything? Is my dad still there?"

"Commissioner Gordon is safe," Batman assured her. "Joker's not far ahead but I do need you to do one thing for me."

"What is it?"

"I need you to do a background check," Batman explained. "her name is Pyrrha Nikos. See what you can find on her. She was brought into Arkham just before I arrived with Joker. Use the League data if you have too."

This even had Oracle taken aback, "wow really? Is she a big deal?"

"That remains to be seen," Batman answered, "I'll keep in contact."

And Batman ended the transmission as they waited but one of the security doors, waiting for it to unlock. Batman glanced at Pyrrha who didn't seem to look offended. And the truth was Pyrrha really wasn't offended. She knew she was an unknown to Batman even if he was letting her fight with him. Pyrrha knew he was being cautious even more with what she told him beforehand. Still she was sure his ally won't find anyone about her; even she knew she wasn't on Remnant anymore.

The door opens up to them and up ahead they say two guard looking off a different corridor. One was shouting, "Let him go! You'll only end up in more trouble if you continue!"

As they got closer they say the guard were stopped by an electric security gate, preventing them from getting to the escape criminal. One guard noticed them, "Thank god! It's Zsasz, he's got Mike. He's strap in the chair, Zsasz has totally lost it."

"Wait here," Batman ordered him.

"You can't," the guard tried to reason, "he'll kill Mike if he sees anyone trying to get close."

"He won't see me" Batman assured him.

Pyrrha said nothing as Batman was able to handle the guard and calm him down. She did however hear someone, this Zsasz character no doubt, call out for them all to here. "I see anything that looks even a little bit like a bat, and this guard dies. Do you hear me?"

Pyrrha had to hold back a gasp as she heard the scream of the guard, though from the sound of the scream he was getting shocked volitionally. Batman seem to hear it as well as he ordered, "let's move!"

Both heroes took off for the stair case next to the gate, allowing them to reach the upper level which overlooked a room that Pyrrha couldn't for the life of her figure out what it was for. They walked by two lines of large computers and equipment which monitored the room below. Batman paused to talk to one of the doctors, no doubt about Zsasz, while Pyrrha kept walking ahead to see the criminal and his hostage, the armor guard strapped to an electric chair.

Zsasz wasn't the most imposing figure in her opinion. He was lanky, though not as lanky as the Joker, wearing only a pair of orange prison pants and large leather cuffs on his arms and a collar around his neck as well as several large metal cuffs, chains and locks. He was bald but the most piacular thing about him was the fact on his naked skin were many scars. Now Pyrrha has seen scars before on huntsmen and huntresses before but these scars were single thin lines with some crossing over. To Pyrrha they almost looked like…

Pyrrha held a gasp with her hand over her mouth as she realized what those scars were for. After hearing about Zsasz for the short time and how everyone was panicking over him, it wasn't hard to make the connection. Pyrrha however couldn't imagine a monster that was actually human, who was killed so many people. Batman walked next to her, gazing down at Zsasz, the madman not noticing them yet. One guard noticed Batman however and turned to him, "Zsasz has got my buddy. He's gonna fry him. Do something please."

Pyrrha frowned, spotting a trigger in Zsasz's hand and knew that was used to hurt and possibly kill the guard. She grabbed her shield and brought it up. "I can hit him with my shield but there is no guarantee it will knock him out or even make him release the trigger even if I hit his arm."

Batman concurred as he looked around, forming a battle plan. He saw several old gargoyles sticking out of the walls around the room. "Those gargoyles should be able to support my weight if I grapple up to them. I'll get behind him and on my signal, throw the shield. I'll knock him out after he goes down." Batman turned to the guard, "keep Zsasz occupied while we work."

Pyrrha nodded as the plan and held her shield, ready to throw. Batman pulled a small gun from his belt and aimed at a gargoyle before he fired. Metal claws dug into the stone and the dark knight was pulled up by the grappling hook. He landed on the gargoyle and turned so he was facing forward but using his grappling gun again he swung to the gargoyle behind Zsasz. Zsasz took no notice of either him or Pyrrha, who moved off to the side so she would not be seen as the guards called out to the criminal. Batman raised his left hand for Pyrrha to see before he suddenly clenched his hand into a fist.

Pyrrha saw the signal and threw the shield right at Zsasz. He didn't see it coming and was struck right in the side of the head, knocking him down and dazing him. When he dropped down, Batman followed until he landed right in Zsasz and finished him off with a savage punch to knock him out. After that Batman stood up, "someone put this animal back in his cell."

A few minutes later Batman deactivated the security gate, Zsasz was cuffed, and the guard was free from the chair, while the doctor looked him over to assure he would survive. Pyrrha herself felt relieved that they were to save the guard as well as recapture an escaped criminal. She stood beside Batman, overlooking them before their attention was caught by all the tv monitors all turning on at once. The first thing she saw ion screen was a large amount of cleavage of a well robust woman held back by a showing red and blue bra. The image was on the side before the operator corrected the camera, showing a blond woman in pig-tails with the tips dyed red and blue, wearing clown makeup, a black eye mask and a revealing nurse outfit with the top set a corset and with a short white skirt. "Can ya hear me? Is this thing on?"

The woman then noticed it was up and running properly, "Oh! Hiya B-man! Harley Quinn here. How'd you like my new uniform? Pretty hot huh?"

"Ummm," was all Pyrrha could say at this display, clearly not sure what to say about the woman.

This caught Harley's attention, "Oh and who's this?" She looked Pyrrha up and down before she asks, "are you related to Red at all? With the hair, the eyes and that figure, you could pass as her cousin or daughter. Minus the plant stuff that is."

"I'm sorry who?" Pyrrha asked, having no idea what the woman was talking about.

"Don't worry about it" Batman instructed wanting to get to the point since he knew Joker wouldn't have Harley call them for no reason.

Harley pouts at him, "That's not nice B-man. Do you know how hard it is to have some girl talk with Red all locked up? Oh, I almost forgot; I got something to show you." She starts to walk out of view of the camera but pauses and looked back at them saying, "one second B-man."

Pyrrha wasn't sure what to say. She glanced at Batman, but he was staring sternly at the screen. Even if it was only for a few moments she found Harley very strange yet at the same time could not help but be reminded of her friend Yang…only more insane. It didn't take long for something to appear on screen, but it wasn't Harley. "Ta-da!" the woman declared as a chair was rolled into view with the Warden in it. his hands were taped to the arms of the chair while his mouth was taped shut as well. He looked slightly beaten up with a bruise on his head and his glasses nearly falling off his face. Harley walked back in screen and placed and arm around Warden Sharp's shoulders. "I'm now subbing for the old man," Harley declared as she twirled his cane which Pyrrha noticed for the first time. Harley leaned on the warden and pulled his head to rest on her chest as if comforting the man. "Old Sharpie's never been happier. In case ya ain't figured it out," Harley got off Warden Sharp and stood in front of the camera, "today's the Joker's big homecoming and you're the guest of honor. I guess that means you too, eh Little Red?"

"You have one chance to surrender Quinn," Batman ordered her.

"Tempting Bats, but no dice," Harley said, twirling the cane again. "Now the inmates are running the asylum." She turned and walked by Warden Sharp before she corrected herself "Well technically they're Joker's goons shipped in from Blackgate, but you get the idea. Bye-bye for now."

And with that Harley smashed the camera, ending the conversation. Pyrrha glanced at Batman but he was talking to his ally over his commlink, "Oracle I'm here."

He moved off to the side to make the conversation more private and Pyrrha let him, knowing if it was important he would share it with her since they are now working together. She glanced to see doctor was talking to Mike, no doubt to calm him down after his near-death experience. Pyrrha then headed to the guards that were by the front security gate, which had been turned on again for some reason. One guard turned to his commanding officer "The room's locked down, I can't open the gate. We're trapped in here."

"Try the radio," the commanding officer said, "Control should be able to shut down the gate."

But Pyrrha knew it wouldn't do any good, not when Joker had control over the asylum. She saw Batman had finished and was heading her way. "So, what's your ally saying?" Pyrrha asked him.

"Joker has control of the security network," Batman explained. "He's isolated it from the grid. Joker also sent threats to the police, saying he has bombs all over Gotham and will detonate them if anyone else sets foot on the island. They're keeping it quiet, so the people won't panic."

Pyrrha held her breath for a second, "he really is atrocious. To bomb a city to keep others from helping."

"He's lying," Batman informed her, "it's just a diversion to keep people away."

Pyrrha blinked at this news, before looking at Batman confused, "how do you know?"

Batman had a dark look on his face for a second but Pyrrha could tell it wasn't directed at her. "I know him."

Pyrrha was quiet, wondering what kind of history Joker and Batman had if they seem to know each other so well. However, she knew they had more pressing matters, "the security gate is up again, and the guards can't shut it down."

Batman frowned before glancing around the room, "Harley thinks she has us trap in this chamber. She never was very bright. Let's see if we can find another way out."

"Is there?" Pyrrha asked him, as he seemed so confident in this.

He glanced back at her as he heads to one side of the room, "There's always another way, you just have to find it. I'll search this side, you look on that side."

With the only other choice is being trapped in the room Pyrrha turned to the left side of the room, seeing mostly bare walls. Stepping closer she examined the walls to see there were pretty solid and figured it would take someone with Nora's or Yang's strength with both their semblances activated could be able to break through them. Seeing as there was no way she would be able to break through, she turned and studied the security gate as the two guards tried a way to deactivate it. examining the two teslas like poles that powers and held the electric security field blocking their escape. While she was certain her semblance should be able to work on them to bend or break the poles to destroy the connection, she wasn't sure if the possible backlash was worth it. It could cause the security gate to backfire and explode, killing or injuring anyone nearby. Or even cause a feedback in the system that powers it, causing an entire section to lose all power, which can make worst no doubt.

Seeing that as dead end Pyrrha glanced back at Batman, who was examining a wall, this one with cracks and a few sections missing from it. She decided not to bother him with it unless he figured it was a true way out and call for her. She walked along the wall before she noticed something.

It was the grate to an air vent, but this grate was much larger then the ones she normally sees. She lowered herself down to peek inside and saw the vent itself was large, large enough for even someone Batman's built can walk in if he crouched down. 'But why did they build vents this big? It doesn't even seem that secured into the wall. Anyone could use these to escape or sneak around.'

But Pyrrha decided that now was the time to ponder this as she held her hand and used her semblance. The metal grate groaned for a moment before she pulled it off the wall with little sound before she placed it on the side. Afterwards she stood up and called out, "Batman, over here!"

Batman turned towards Pyrrha and saw their escape exit with the vents. He checked it out first before he nodded, "good work. Follow me."

Pyrrha nodded and followed after the crouched hero, she could briefly hear one of the guards tell everyone that they found a way out of the room. Pyrrha felt better now knowing that they could follow them and escape when they are ready. The space was cramped slightly but as Pyrrha found it was still big enough for them to crouch their way through. They followed the long vent which inclined slightly now. Up ahead Batman got another call from Oracle. "Batman, I'm patching you into the guard radio feed."

Batman heard some static before his commlink replayed the radio feed. "Steve, more Blackgate prisoners. By the boiler." There was also the faint sound of gun fire over the feed before the guard spoke again. "Who's that behind them? Oh my god…it's Joker! He's free! How'd he break out!?"

There was some more fire before the feed stopped. Oracle was back on, "sorry, feed's down. Comms are up and down like crazy. It's not good. I'll keep trying."

Batman frowned hearing this, knowing that they need to get Joker soon before things get any worst. As they turned a corner of the vents, Batman paused seeing a glowing green trophy shaped like a question mark. His frowned turned into a scowl before he grabbed the trophy, knowing who it was from. 'Riddler,' He growled mentally before he breaks the trophy in his grip before he turned to a close grate which would get them out of the vent.

Pyrrha noticed the broken pieces of the trophy but deiced it wasn't the best time to ask about that. She saw Batman press his foot onto the grate face and pushed, breaking the grate free and letting it drop to the floor. He dropped out soon after that and Pyrrha followed. They found themselves right outside the blocked door they first tried to get through, but it was now open and the guard from before running through it. They passed three Joker teeth and destroyed them without much thought as they turned the next corner. The intercom speaker beeped and called out, "Warning: Decontamination Room, Toxin detected. Warning: Decontamination Room, Area sealed."

Pyrrha spotted two armored guard pound the window with their fist as a sick green smoke blocked their view. The first guard tried to get to them, but the thick metal frame popped up and sealed the window and blocking their view. "What is that?" Pyrrha asked aloud.

"Joker toxin," Batman explained seriously. "Listen, that room is filled with poison gas. Anyone caught in it is dead."

Pyrrha's eyes went wide, stunned at more danger Joker is spreading freely. "We got to do something."

"We need a safe way inside first," Batman advised as he looked around for a safer route. He noticed a large opening above them with a ledge for his grapping hook. Taking said gadget out he aimed. "Hold on," was the only warning Batman gave Pyrrha before he wrapped an arm around her and the grappling gun pulled them up.

Pyrrha was taken by surprise when she was grabbed and was pulled upwards by Batman. Once they reached the edge Batman was able to pull them over the top with a simple move, allowing Pyrrha to steady herself on her own two feet. Pyrrha herself only needed a second to steady herself, "well that's one way to get around."

Batman gained a small smirk, "at least you didn't scream."

Pyrrha gave him a raised brow before figuring a few others he carried while using the grappling gun were less kind to his ears. She didn't have much time to ponder this more as Batman was on the move as he pulled a grate off the wall and into another vent and Pyrrha followed him. "Hopefully we will help those men and then capture Joker before he escapes" she said to him as they turned another corner.

But to her surprise Batman shook his head, "This isn't a simple escape attempt. Joker's been planning this."

This had Pyrrha taken aback, before wondering how much history the two men really have if Batman could tell this wasn't an escape plan. She didn't bother asking when Batman kicked open another grate and they exit onto an elevate platform. However, their attention wasn't to the gas below them but a voice. "Please help me!"

Batman darted ahead with Pyrrha on his tail to see an armor guard hanging onto the ledge with his grip slipping. Batman reached out and pulled the man up. "You're going to be fine, stay here."

They had to keep moving and jumped across a gap towards where another guard was standing. But this guard wasn't looking at them but one of his friends as he tried to get down from another platform. However, there was a small explosion his landing zone and ladder, breaking them away and forcing the guard to grab the edge to keep from falling. "Hang on Steve!" the guard besides them said as Batman got out his grappling gun to rescues the victim. However, Pyrrha was already on the move.

Pyrrha got a running start before she jumped high before bracing one foot onto some large pipes sticking out of the wall before jumping even higher, clearing the platform and landing with ease. Once she landed, Pyrrha wasted no time grabbing the guard and pulling him to safety. He was gasping for breath at the near-death experience but kept repeating 'thank you', repeatedly.

Batman studied Pyrrha, amazed at what he had seen. From the short time observing her he can tell she was highly trained and a very skilled fighter. The distance between the two elevated platforms were over twelve feet apart, including the height difference. He knew he wouldn't be able to make that jump alone and would have needed his grappling hook to get up there fast enough. But Pyrrha just needed a running jump and while she used an extra boost to overshoot the platform edge, Batman could guess she did that to not waste time climbing up as he was sure she would have made the jump herself if just barely. (1)

Batman's train of thought was broken when the guard next to him got his attention. "Batman, the extraction system. Steve was trying to get to the control panel on the other side of the room."

"It's okay," Pyrrha said to calm the guard down, "we'll stop all of this."

"Pyrrha!" Batman called out, getting the girl to turn to him, "I'm going for the extraction system! Rescues the last one!"

Pyrrha nodded before she spotted someone hanging from the last platform before she made another jump. She landed with a clang but ran to the man holding on at the end of the platform. But she paused in seeing who it was. It wasn't a guard but one of the Blackgate inmates.

"He left me here," the convict grunts, "that son of a-" he grits his teeth, trying to hang on.

Pyrrha struggled for a moment before her resolved broke through and she grabbed the criminal by the back of his shirt, pulling him up to safety. The man pants before glancing up at her. But Pyrrha punched the back of his head hard to knock him out before she stood up, keeping her eye on him. She knew he was a criminal and work with the Joker willingly which no doubt killed the men she has seen so far, but she wasn't willing to have him die when she could do something about it. Though that didn't mean she would let run free, so she knocked him out afterwards.

Not far behind her, Batman saw all of this and smiled slightly. He saw that last victim was a one of the Joker's goons, yet she was still willing to save his life. His respect went up as he threw a batarang to trip the extraction system on. Giant fans turned, and the green toxic gas was being filtered out. The PA beeped before it declared, "Attention: Air Purity is now at normal levels." This was followed by the Joker's laugh, no doubt finding the whole scene funny before the PA added, "Attention: Decontamination Room access is now permitted."

As Batman went to bring the guard down to the ground, Pyrrha grab the convict and jumped down so the guard could put in him a cell. As she did so he looked around sadly seeing several bodies of guard and a few inmates. She clenched her fist in anger at the Joker and his sick games, taking a small amount of pleasure when she stomped on a pair of joker teeth. Once the guards were down and the last one entering the room to help, Batman placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. "We'll get the animal that did this."

Pyrrha nodded, determined to stop the mad man. "Let's go."

They wasted no time racing through the door after this open and through the long tunnel. Over the loud speakers Joker taunted them. "What are you waiting for? I'm so close you could almost taste me."

The followed green painted arrows on the ground, left by Joker, before two inmates ran at them from around a corner. But they were taken down easily as Batman caught one of their punches before he slammed a fist into the caught forearm, breaking it and followed up by an elbow to the face to knock the man out. Pyrrha ducked down and spun her body to avoid the attack of her opponent before using the spin to catch his front with her shield, allowing her to jump with an uppercut to knock the man out.

They didn't even pause after that and followed the path made with green arrows and creepy grins made in green paint. They reach the door at the end of the hall, which had a large details image of the Joker's eyes, nose and smile on it, and it opened, and they stepped inside to see the room where Joker was hiding. It was mostly dark with one side nearly pitch black besides a colossus metal door. The platform they were on had several body of dead guards and two guard stations locked down by security gates. Joker was standing atop a suspended metal box held up by chains. Seeing them he stepped forwarded, "What took you so long?"

Pyrrha had enough of this and threw her shield right at him. Seeing the incoming disk, Joker ducked down to avoid it. the shield hit the metal chains and bounced off before coming right back to Pyrrha. Joker didn't seem upset by the attack, in fact he was laughing. "Now that is taking the initiative. I like this one Bats, much better than your other ones."

Batman just scowled, not falling for the taunt. "There's no escape Joker. I will find you."

Joker looked amused. "Oh I'm counting on it," he said, pointing at the man, "just not yet."

And with that Joker stomped on the metal cage, somehow making the gears turn and the door opens up. The door fell and something big started to climb out of it. It was a misshapen man with his right arm massive as well as his other muscles, with only his left arm remained the size of a normal arm, while his left leg was massive with growths and sores shown. His veins were pulsing and bits of bone breaking out his back and arms as well as his spine. All he wore was a ripped pair of pants, giving him a wild and deranged look. He growled and breath heavily as he jumped from the cage and landed in front of Batman and Pyrrha. Up above Joker chuckled "oh he's a big one."

Batman and Pyrrha took a step back, ready for the first attack. However, he stomped forward a step and grab the body of a dead guard. With a grunt he threw the at them, but the heroes jumped away to avoid it. Pyrrha scowled at the great disrespect for the dead and pun her spear around and transformed it into sword mode. The monster didn't like this, so he roared and charged at the nearest target, which was Pyrrha. Pyrrha threw her shield and it bounced off the creature's head. The beast held his head with its smaller arm but kept charging even when it was blinded.

Pyrrha rolled to the side to avoid the blind charge and the monster kept running only to smack into the wall. The beast staggered, clearly dazed. Batman leaped at the monster at once and landed five hard strikes to the body and head. The beast snapped out of it and roared, forcing Batman to jumped away and not become an easy target. It was a smart move as the beast slammed a fist into the ground where Batman was standing a moment before. It roared at Batman and charged once again.

But Batman already knew what to do and threw a batarang to blind the beast. Like before it charged blindly now before slamming into the side of one of the guard stations. As it turned, staggering as it went, Pyrrha oved in close and slashed at the creature with her sword, slashing at the chest, sides and even one at the smaller leg. The beast roared and tried to smack her away. Pyrrha however had her shield up to tank the blow with no damage, even if it caused her to slide back.

It roared again but another shield throw to the face cause it to shake its head and tried to throw another punch. However, as Pyrrha rolled to the side, the monster's fist slammed into the electric security door, shocking the beast and sending it back. The monster pants before something strange happened. It staggered while clutching its chest, right over the heart. It growls and grunts, holding its head to try and steady itself but jerked with a loud grunt before fell onto its back and stop moving.

"Well that was unexpected wasn't it?" Joker asked, shaking his head before he added, "Oh well."

Pyrrha scowled at the man disregard for what she would assume was his own ally since he used him to attack them. Even more when Joker muttered aloud, "Note to self; need stronger test subject."

Joker peered down at them and stepped closer to the edge of the box, "Seeing as how I'm feeling generous, I'll give you this one for free." He stood on the edge of the box with his arms spread eagle. "Knock me off, I dare you!" he growled. "End this, pull the plug, stop me once and for all."

And Joker stood there, defenseless with arms spread out and head back, begging them to attack. Pyrrha flip her sword around and turned into to her spear and pulled her arm back ready to throw. However, Batman's arm shot in front of her, blocking her path. She looked at him to see a stern look as he shook his head. Joker noticed this and laughed again, "Really taking the initiative! She's turning into the fun one now, besides me of course." Joker then stepped back and pointed at Batman "But you're getting too predictable, Bats!" Alarms started to flash as the hum of machines came to life and the box Joker was on started to move. "I'd love to stay and chat, but I have a party to organize. I've got guest flying in from all over Arkham. You'll see. I expect you two to be there when it's time!"

As Joker laughed rang as the box carried him into the darkness before two thick metal the size of the wall closed off, blocking Joker from view. Pyrrha lower her weapon as she stared at the blocked path the Joker fled to, escaping them one again.

And done! Woo! That was a rush but I am glad we finished this. Not much else to say besides the plot is starting to move for our heroes in Arkham. Now we just got to see how the two teaming up will handle everything Joker throws at them.

1. Okay this was a part I was debating about for a while and even went to lengths with Sai Kunai Blade about. Basically, it is how well Pyrrha can get around before she is given the grapple gun by Batman when they reach the cave. Because she is not like Yang or Ruby where they would use their weapons to boost themselves up. At first, I thought she would need to use her shield as a platform to boost herself from with the use of her semblance like she did in her fight against team CRDL. But Sai pointed out in that very same fight at the very end after Pyrrha knocked Cardin in the air, she jumped up after him and got a few hits in before she grabbed him and slammed him into the ground. While it is hard to judge how high to jumped up to get him again I will say it was a decent amount of about 12 feet at least. So I am nerfing her slightly, so she is not jumping all over the place for little reason. At least until she gets the grapple gun otherwise don't expect her to go too crazy with it.
