"Well, here's to hoping that Punisher ends up fighting Deadshot!" Tony said, raising his glass to the people in front of him.

"HERE HERE!" The other people at the table hollered.

Needless to say, even the other combatants were a little tired of Batman being overused. Yes readers that are clearly taking this better than the author! The author still isn't over this. He'll probably get over it after the fight is over (you're a better person than he is because of your ability to not let it bother you so much (Make fun of him for it)).

"And here's to the upcoming battle one hundred!" Deadpool cheered on.

"You going to be taking bets for that?"

"Yep! Once battle ninety hits. That should be the third episode of the season." Deadpool confirmed, "Why? You want to get a prediction in early?"

"Nah! It'll be a bit more fun to predict with the others."

"Didn't think of you to be a social person, Logan." Raiden replied, "What changed?"

"Eh, I'm dead back home at the moment, so I thought about lightening up a bit. I don't have to worry about anyone but Harada, so there's nobody that I have a grudge match with." Wolverine answered.

"Yo Spidey!" Deadpool called to the red and blue clad original web-slinger, "You wanna grab a drink with us?"

"Heading out on patrol soon, so I can't. Besides, you know what alcohol does to me, Wade." Peter said as he started towards the door.

"Damn, I almost forgot that I'm going out with the web-head." Wolverine downed his shot before taking his leave, "I'll see you guys when I get back."

"See you later, Logan!" Tony replied.


Patrol was a somewhat mandatory thing that everyone had to do. Since all the villains and general cape-hating psychopaths were all in one place, and considering that a great many of them had a number of flying murder-machines and vast armies at their disposal, making sure that the cyborg-tarkatans didn't kill people was a regular thing.

Upsides: A great workout, no need for restraint on account of them being mindless husks with a cybernetic brain, and the fact that magic was also a factor made it a challenge for some of the heroes with a… lower power level than others.

Downsides: Not a workout for people like Vegeta, Thor, Wonder Woman, Naruto, Ichigo, or any of the mountain busters; the fact that these things actually kill people (or at least, try to); and the fact that every once in a while, they get an upgrade that put the heroes on their toes.

Today happened to be one of those days. Nightmare and Ganondorf had managed to grab technology from a transport truck to make it so that these new cyber-kartans were equipped with specialized radar technology, and basically rendered all forms of stealth useless.

"AUGH!"

Needless to say, this was causing some trouble for Batman Classic.

"Wow. It's almost as if you're completely helpless without stealth and surprise on your side." Wolverine replied from his little area that he chose to sit at.

"Are you really so petty about this whole debacle that you aren't going to help me?" Batman snarled.

"Well, if you're so capable that people actually think that you stand a chance against T'challa, then by all means," Logan gestured to his opponent, "Show us what impressed the internet so much."

Batman sighed.

This was going to be a long day.


"Making it so that these things have a radar system so precise that it could detect even a fly's blood beat feels petty." Sephiroth observed.

"First off!" Lex began, "I said that it could detect a human's blood. Why do you keep considering us flies? - Didn't a couple humans defeat you?"

"ONE OF THEM WAS A SOLDIER WITH MY MOTHER'S CELLS TO AUGMENT HIM!" Sephiroth roared in Lex's ear, "IF ANYONE IS GOING TO DEFEAT ME, IT WOULD BE- What is that?"

Lex was pointing a gun at Sephiroth.

"Heh, do you really think a mere firearm is going to stop me-"

*BZZT!*

Sephiroth was electrocuted by Ganondorf's electrical magic.

"I had him." Lex commented.

"Sure you did." Ganondorf shot back, "Is your technology working at its full capacity?"

"I'm surprised, Ganondorf." Lex smirked, "I thought that a sorcerer such as yourself wouldn't bother with technology like this."

"I prefer to know what my enemies are capable of. But I prefer to know what my allies are capable of even more." Ganon explained.

"Well, to answer the fallen 'angel's' question," Lex continued, "The technology is in place. It can detect human blood within a fifteen-feet radius of itself. The Dark Knight may be a master of stealth, but not even he can function without blood or mask it from this detector."

"What was it going to be used for originally?"

"It was going to a facility that was going to test out specialized synthezoids that functioned with mammalian blood, but thanks to yours and Nightmare's magic, we got our hands on it. I'm impressed. It never occured to me to try to detect mammalian blood before. I always saw motion detectors to be enough."

"But your motion detectors have a significantly larger radius if I recall correctly." Ganondorf mentioned, "These things can only detect blood that's within less than five meters of itself, I doubt that you can improve upon that."

"Already did." Lex answered, "I found a way to triple the radius of these radars. It could only perform at a five-foot radius originally."

"Ugghh…"

"Right…" Lex remembered, "send for someone to bring Sephiroth to the infirmary. We can't be short handed in the event of an attack."


X: Wade? What are you doing at my computer?

Wade: Just adding a few things to show that your frustration against Batman showing up again is petty and unnecessary.

X: That word's seriously in your vocabulary?

Alexis: Chirp chirp tweet.

X: See, now I can understand it coming from her, but not from you.

Wade: What about our favorite pink horse friend?

X: She's a definite maybe. Where is she anyways? I haven't seen Pinkie since chapter 155.
