Chapter 1 The Predator

Batman was patrolling his city like he did almost every night since becoming Batman.

Like most nights he stopped some thugs.

But now something more dangerous was happening.

In the Batmobile he arrived at a gun fight seeing the Police pinned down before getting out and rushed to Gordon.

"Commissioner." Batman said.

"Oh great. Just what we need. The Freak of the night." Bullock said.

"Save it Bullock! We got our selves a standoff! New Columbian Cartel just moved in and started firing on Civilians." Gordon said before one of the cars blew up as the Columbians moved inside a building.

"Oh shit. We're screwed." Bullock said.

"What do you mean?" Batman asked.

"That building is one of their safe houses we believe. Probably armed to the teeth with heavy weapons and drugs.

Inside said building the Columbians were arming themselves up before the Leader known as El Scorpio took in a large inhale of powder before groaning as he grins.

"Come and get it Batman. El Scorpio. IS READY!" El Scorpio yelled.

His men laughed at this before the glass above them broke apart making them look seeing coming down before they heard growling as a pair of blue eyes glowed.

One of the windows exploded outside alarming Batman and the cops.

"Any of your people in the building?" Batman asked before Nightwing, Robin and Batgirl arrived.

"No. I didn't give any orders." Gordon said before they heard screams of horror coming from inside.

"Lets go." Batman said as his group made it inside.

"Hey! They can't go in there! This is police business!" Bullock yelled.

"You wanna stop them? Be my guest." Gordon said making him growl.

Heading inside they heard the columbians screaming in agony as gunfire went off.

"Well, someone is messing them up." Nightwing said.

Thats when El Scorpio rushed out the room with a look of horror on his face before shooting at the door and ran off.

"Batgirl." Batman said making her rush after him.

El Scorpio rushed to the roof before looking around like crazy.

When he turned around his head was grabbed making him scream in agony before his head was ripped off including the spinal column before snarling was heard.

"Come back here!" Batgirl yelled before she saw the body making her gasp in shock before the one responsible was already gone.

"Batgirl?" Nightwing asked walking to her before widening his eyes seeing the headless body. "Whoa. Someone really meant business." Nightwing said.

"You don't know the half of it." Robin said appearing. "You guys need to see this." Robin said.

Batman in the room El Scorpio came out of narrowed his eyes seeing the massacre seeing several of the Columbians missing body parts and chests opened up.

"Oh my god." Batgirl said in shock.

"Thinking maybe Joker or one of ours did this?" Nightwing asked.

"No...This isn't Joker's style." Batman said before blood dripped down making him look up seeing one of them hanging on the ceiling.

"Whoa. How the hell did he get up there. Theres no place for a grappling hook." Robin said.

"Uh guys." Batgirl said seeing holes on the walls that led up there.

"Someone carried him up there by hand." Batman said as Gordon and the others rushed in.

"What the?" Bullock said seeing all the dead bodies. "Oh thats it. I knew it would only be a matter of time before you snapped and killed someone. I'm taking you freaks in." Bullock said pulling out cuffs.

"We didn't do this. Someone else did." Batgirl said.

"Yeah right. Like I care. I'm taking you all in." Bullock said.

"No you're not." Gordon said.

"But they did this." Bullock argued.

"Just because they were in the room? Thats naive and stupid. Stand down." Gordon said making him growl before walking off. "What happened here?" Gordon asked.

"Looks like they got hit pretty hard. Someone new to the table." Nightwing said.

"Any leads or anything?" Gordon asked.

"None. Whoever did this left little to no evidence." Batman said.

"So we're dealing with a professional here." Gordon said.

"I'm not sure. I've never seen killings like this." Batman said.

Later

"Gross." Flash said seeing the brutal killings on the screen on the watch Tower with the entire league.

"Whoever did this has a high level of physical strength and technology. The autopsy showed that some of these victims were killed with unknown metals." Batman said.

"Yikes. Maybe some other criminal group decided to clear the board and hired a professional." Lantern said.

"I don't think so. I've checked into several criminal groups. While most were clearly pleased by this they were also surprised by this event. Meaning none of them hired this criminal." Batman said.

"Is it really a criminal or someone who has a different view of Justice than us?" Wonder Woman asked.

"What are you saying?" Superman asked.

"I've only been here for a couple weeks but even I can see our ways doesn't exactly get permanent results. Maybe someone simply decided they were sick and tired of criminals getting off easy and decided to do something about it." Wonder Woman said.

"She does have a point." Hawkgirl said.

"Regardless we need to bring this person down and make sure he can never do this again. Even if this does get permanent results this is not the way." Batman said.

"And who are we to decide that?" J'onn asked.

"Look lets just find this guy and see whats going on. At the very least we should understand why he or she is doing this." Lantern said.

"Fine." Batman said.

Thats when an Alert came up .

"What is it?" Flash asked.

"One of mine is being hit...By the same person as last night." Batman said.

Meanwhile

Killer Croc was running for his life as the hired help he paid was holding back whoever was after him.

How this happened was beyond him.

It started with him and his crew planning a heist when some of his men got killed right in front of him by some kind of high tech weapons.

He managed to get away while leaving his crew to fend for themselves.

As he continued to run however his left leg suddenly was cut off making him yell in pain as he fell over holding the stump of his leg.

"WHERE ARE YOU!" Croc roared.

"Turn around." A voice echoed followed by a laugh.

Croc panicked as he looked around for whoever was targeting him before crawling away from the alleyway before the League arrived.

"HELP ME!" Croc yelled before he was starting to get pulled back into the shadows. "NOOOO! NOOO PLEASE! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Croc screamed in horror making the League widen their eyes as the sicking sounds of something being pulled off were heard.

Flash gulped loudly as he looked around.

"Uh...Maybe we should just..." Flash tried to say before they heard footsteps making him more nervous.

Slowly walking out of the shadows however was...Nothing.

"Am I missing something here?" Hawkgirl asked before Superman narrowed his eyes before using X-Ray vision before seeing someone standing in front of them.

"He's right in front of us. He's just cloaked." Superman said before he stepped forward some more before stepping in a puddle.

Thats when electricity was seen before a figure stood before them that was clearly human.

A person who had a large amount of muscles on his body with unique armor with Croc's head on the side. A mask with blue eye visors and an assortment of weapons on him. (Picture the Starting costume you get in Predator Concrete Jungle but with the Stalker Mask)

Lantern and Hawkgirl however widened their eyes as he roared loudly at them before throwing something down creating a black smoke making them cough before Superman cleared it showing he was gone.

"What the hell was that?" Flash asked.

"Oh boy." Lantern said in alarm.

"You know what that thing was?" Superman asked.

"Yeah...And we can't even think about getting in his way." Lantern said making him narrow his eyes.

Later

"He's known as a Predator. These guys are hunters of the highest level. Technology so advanced I'd wager even Darkseid would think twice before attacking them." Lantern said making Superman narrow his eyes.

"How do you know about them?" Batman asked.

"The Lanterns and the Yautja which are the Predator race have always been allies. Both our methods differ. For one thing we don't usually kill. They on the other hand do." Lantern said showing an image of a Yautja.

"Thats nothing like we saw before." Superman said.

"Because he's clearly human. They've been known to take other species in and train them. It's very rare but it has happened before." Lantern said.

"So why is this one here?" Batman asked.

"Cause they keep order in the galaxy." Hawkgirl said.

"How do you know them?" Lantern asked.

"On my home planet they helped us against the Gordanians. We've had a pretty strong alliance over the years." Hawkgirl said.

"But that still doesn't explain why he's here. We can handle things here without killing people." Superman said.

"Can we?" Wonder Woman questioned.

"What are you trying to say?" Superman asked narrowing his eyes.

"Think about all the innocent people that those like Joker, Metalo, Toyman and others have killed over the years. All we've done is lock them up and they inevitably get out. We're not really solving anything. We're just giving them an excuse to kill again." Wonder Woman.

"Like it or not we don't kill people. And he's got to go. Like it or not." Superman said.

"You try telling that to him. He's just gonna beat you within an inch of your life. And thats a warning. Second time you cross him...He's gonna kill you." Lantern said.

"Just like that?" Superman asked crossing his arms.

"You don't understand. These guys could take on Darkseid and his people without question. They only send their people to a planet when they know they're needed for something. In our case it's because crime is still high. I'm with Diana on this. All we've been doing is just locking them up for a while before they bust out again." Hawkgirl said.

"We'll see about that." Superman said leaving.

"I'm surprised any of you would even support this...Thing." Batman said.

"Yeah? Just wait and see what happens in the next few weeks. You'll see exactly why we're not picking a fight with these guys. And theres a good chance more are on the way." Lantern said making him narrow his eyes before leaving.

Meanwhile

Poison Ivy was looking over her babies with a smile. (Ivy from Batman Hush)

"Mommy loves you all so much." Ivy said.

"I'm impressed."

Ivy widened her eyes before seeing the Predator.

"You have a passion for nature."

"I know you. You're that thing that killed the Columbians and Croc." Ivy said.

"I kill those who's hands are soaked in blood for cruel reasons. Yours on the other hand though I can understand. You respect and love nature. And want mankind to stop polluting the environment for profit or trying to be cheep when they need to properly dispose of certain chemicals."

This made Ivy smile lightly.

"You know me pretty good for a guy who's only been here a couple days." Ivy said.

"For good reason."

"So...What are you exactly?" Ivy asked curious.

"I'm known as a Predator. Raised by an alien race known as the Yautja. Hunters who bring order to worlds like yours. When they are infested with crime and corruption. We kill those we deem too far gone. Those like the people I've already killed. However we do try to help those whose lives were changed by circumstances. I can help make this world better...And with your help...I can get you what you want."

Ivy thought this over before seeing his gear seeing the high level tech on him.

"Say I agree to help you I have a couple conditions. One I want you to help me get through a friend of mine. Harley. She always views the Joker as the perfect lover. I want you to prove to her she's completely wrong so she'll finally leave him for good even after he's dead." Ivy said making him nod.

"And the other?"

"If we're gonna work together...I'd like your name." Ivy said grinning.

"My real name can come at a later date. As for what to call me...You may refer to me as...Scarface." Scarface said with his eyes glowing blue in his mask.

Authors Note: This idea has been in my head for a while. I think this makes a pretty good idea with a Predator in DC. I think there was a comic or two about this. Now my main focus is on my Legend of Korra Legendary Godzilla Crossover story the Avatar's guardian for now but I'll come update this when I can. I get the feeling it'll be pretty popular.
