The city has grown, crime rates had increased and so had the number of criminals. The city was being evacuated after scarecrow made his threat, only the police, Bruce, Alfred, Barbra, Tim and Briar remained. Jim had called for Batman and Briar.

"Grab on" Batman said when he saw the bat symbol in the sky.

Briar walked up behind him and put her arms around his neck "Lets go" Briar said before he jumped off of the tower they were stood on. they glided to roof top and saw Jim standing there in the rain.

"You two sure know how to make an entrance" Jim said.

Briar let go of Batman and we walked over to Jim. "Has everyone be evacuated?"

"The last bus crossed the city limits a while ago. I'm glad that my little girl is safe".

"Anything on Scarecrow?" Batman asked.

Jim looked away "We were tracking a vehicle speeding through Chinatown. That's the only lead we have gained all night but they gave us the slip. But after the evacuation I don't have the man power left to track them down." He said as we all stood looking out over the once peaceful city. Well I say peaceful but it was when the Joker died.

"If you find it inform your men not to engage, we'll deal with it" Batman said and Looked at Briar.

"Are you sure, I fear that Scare might be crazy enough to detonate bomb" Jim started.

"We won't let that happen Jim" Briar added.

"Good, because we're relying on you two to save us all" Jim forced a smile.

Batman then handed Jim a walky talky "It's gonna be a long night. You can reach both of us with this".

Jim's police radio then came to life. "All units, we've got a 10-33 in sector 2. Missing patrol car, unit 2-47 suspected officer down!"

Jim then turned around "Hey Batman... Lady Omen..." but we had already moved "Every flaming time" he said before walking away.

Meanwhile, Batman and Lady Omen were a fair distance from where they were with Commissioner Gordon, they were now perched on a ledge looking out over the chaotic streets. Batman then turned the small projector on that was on his arm.

"Oracle, we need the location on unit 2-47" he said.

Barbra then began typing onto her computer "I'm on it. How's my dad doing?" she asked.

"He's holding up" Briar answered.

"I don't know how but he always does. I'm sending you the squad car's location. Be careful you two. It's havoc out there" she said with a concerned tone in her voice.

"Alright, thanks" Briar said before Batman turned the projector off..

"Come on" Batman said.

Briar wrapped arms around his neck again and he jumped off of the ledge. They glide over the streets for a bit before they came to the bridge. He used the grabber hook and fires it at the bridge, once they were at the bridge Briar let go and they walked across one of the beams. He then grabs Ned her hand and told her to hold on. They then jump off of the ledge to swoop down to the streets and we land on a building. They heard gunshots and began to glide over the streets until they come up to a gang of armed men. Swooping down and land.

"It's the Bat!" shouts one of the men as they run over to fight with Batman.

Two men then run over to Briar with baseball bats "Take her down!" one of them shouts.

I draw my sword out of its holder on my belt and I prepare myself to fight. The first guy tries to hit Briar with the bat he is holding but she countered it by blocking the baseball bat from hitting her by blocking the attack with her staff. They fight with the men for a moment before they are both unarmed, Briar quickly put her staff back in its holder and Briar jabbed at their chests a few times. Briar then kicked at their legs and they fall backwards. Hitting their heads on the concrete, Briar gracefully stepped over the unconscious men as she walked over to Batman.

"Scarecrow would have scattered his men all over the city. We have to be careful" Briar say before they walked over to the police officer who had been beaten up.

"You're safe now" Batman says as he helps the cop to his feet.

"Thank you. I thought that they were gonna kill me" the cop says.

I hear the engine of a car "Batman." Briar said and nudge Batman's shoulder.

"Grab on" he says as he grabs hold of the officer.

Briar grabbed onto him and holds the grabber hook up. They shoot up into the air just before the truck hits them. Landing on a building the cop sits against the wall as they begin to walk away when the cop finally spoke.

"You don't stand a chance. The city is taken" the cop yells to us.

"Stay here, I'll send someone to pick you up" Batman says. We stop at the ledge and look down "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, it's barely even started." Briar answered.

""What are you gonna do?" the officer asked.

"Even out the odds" Batman answers.

"We're doomed aren't we?" The cop says in a defeated tone.

"Not if we can help it" Briar answered.

Batman then grabs my arm and pulled Briar up onto his back, swooping down and land softly because he glided the rest of the way. They then jump into the Batmobile and he presses the bottom that opens up the back. Briar came out on her motorbike and my helmet on.

"Where's that military vehicle?" Briar ansked into the microphone in her helmet.

"Oracle, I need to track that military vehicle" Batman said into the batmobile's built in radio.

"There's a squad car that's pursuing it. I'm relaying it's location now" Barbra answered. We sped off down the dishevelled city roads after the vehicle.

"I have it in range" Briar said "I have shot" her thumb hovering over the button to fire at the vehicle.

"Do it" Batman commanded.

Briar pressed the button and shot at the vehicle. "Got him" she said when the vehicle flipped over and crashed into a building.

"We need to interrogate the driver. Find out what he knows" Batman said before jumping out of the Batmobile.

Briar stopped her motor bike and took off her helmet. They walked towards the solider as he crawled out of the smoking vehicle. "Get away from me you freaks. You lay a finger on me they'll kill you both!" the driver protested.

Batman grabbed the man by the shoulders and held him in the air "Where's scarecrow?"

"Go to hell freak" the man scoffed.

Batman drop the man onto the ground but held onto his arm "Where is he?" he raised his voice as he slowly started to twist the man's arm.

"I'm not telling you anything Batman!" the man shouted.

"Talk or I'll break every bone you have" Batman said.

"Okay, okay... the Penthouse in Chinatown. That's all I know. I swear!" the man confessed.

"If you're lying she'll break the other one" Batman said as he before he suddenly twisted and let go of the man's arm.

"What? Ahh!" the man screamed as the bone in his arm snapped. Batman analysed the weapon and then called Barbra "Oracle, check the chemical analysis I just uploaded".

"Sure, wait... is this what I think this is?" Barbra asked.

"An uncontaminated sample of scarecrows new toxin" Batman answered.

"No kidding, I'll prepare a full chemical breakdown. What are you gonna do?" Barbra asked.

"Scarecrow is working at a Penthouse near by. Me and Briar are gonna pay him a visit". Batman answered.

"Lets hope this is the break we've been looking for" Barbra said.
