Now that the battle is over, the author has finally calmed down and stopped being a petty piece of crap, people were finally getting back into the swing of things and going back to what they normally do.

Namely, shooting the breeze, and complaining about internet comments.

"Are they still taking shots on Goku's fights with Superman?" Fox asked, taking a look at Sonya.

"We all know that we banned that after we needed to use seventeen senzu beans to repair Wolverine's liver." Hawkeye pointed out, "No, I think they're drinking on account of the recent battle."

"Well, there are bound to be people who would complain about that result."

"We've been here for what? - Two years now? We already know that people complaining about the results is inevitable." Hawkeye commented, "Besides, we gotta get ready for the next fight. It's a second episode after a premiere fight, it's likely that it's going to use two bad guys from video games."

"Well, Shovel Knight and Scrooge are notable exceptions." Bucky noted.

"Also, it's not video game villains." Chun-Li said, looking at the screen.

"I can't believe these comments. A good chunk of them claiming that Black Panther only won to promote his new movie." Flash pointed out, "Why do these guys look for any reason to complain about something?"

"Because Batman has so many fanboys that they think that he could beat Goku." Spider-Man classic deadpanned.

"You're just jealous that you haven't gotten to fight an additional time." Shadow commented.

"Coming from the guy who lost both of his matchups." Spider-Man shot back, "You know, now I'm glad that I'm not showing up anymore. Don't want to smudge my winning streak."

"You have only one win." Flash pointed out.

"So do you." Spider-Man shot back, "Besides, at least it's only this one time. I'm sure that it'll be a while until they pull Bruce in again to fight Punisher or Moon Knight."

"Wecan at least count on that." Shadow commented, "I'm sure even the fans were tired of the old Bat constantly in a fight. Speaking of, where is he?"

"Out on patrol. Said he wanted to get some payback on those new cyber-kartans that got the jump on him."

"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Black Panther asked as the Dark Knight was setting up his trap.

"I'm sure of it." Batman replied, "It took a while, but I figured out these things. They counter stealth, but not traps set by people who use stealth."

Panther had gotten word from the others that Batman had been trying for a full week to beat these things, and failed every time. Possibly because they could detect him easily, or perhaps because they didn't react to fear or most of the other tactics that the original Batman employed.

Needless to say, Batman found it just a little bit irritating when he found out that Dan had somehow lucked into beating one of these things. Nobody knew how he did it, but Wonder Woman's lasso of Truth proved that he had beaten one.

Incidentally, Batman had to add fourteen cartons of vanilla ice cream to the shopping list because of a bet.

It just wasn't his month. Being beaten by Black Panther was just icing on the cake.

So he'd be damned if he wasn't going to beat just one of these things with his typical tactics. Only then would he go to his other tactics of hand-to-hand combat and his myriad of gadgets.

But just this once, Batman was going to beat one of these things with stealth. He'd rather die again than leave with his tail (or cape) between his legs.

Panther sighed, "Do you want me to cover your back while you continue with this?"

"Do what you want." Batman snarled, "I'm taking this thing down."

"You are very unwell." Panther noted.

"Heh, you should see what those so-called analysers said about me when I fought Parker." Batman replied, "'not all there' my ass!"

Panther didn't hear Batman after that. In the time that Batman had to complain about his mental stability (or lack thereof), T'Challa had managed to take down fifteen cyber-kartans in fourteen different ways.

*BAM!*

Make that sixteen cyber-kartans.

Batman was waiting. He was waiting in the way that only Batman could wait. He was waiting to execute his plan.

Batman's plan was simple in concept, but complex in its execution. It was your normal tripwire-based trap. Only instead of using explosives or a large item to batter the target, Batman had chosen a slightly different approach.

And by 'slightly', we obviously know that meant 'completely.'

Batman classic's plan was for the tripwire to shock the target so that a different device that he set up nearby could trap them in a bola so that he could grapple to the awning and literally drop on the cyber-kartan.

Batman holds a mean grudge. Who knew?

Batman noticed a cyber-kartan coming his way. He was a bit eager to test out his little trap.

"Just a bit closer…"

*BZZZZRRT!*

Batman's plan had worked. The cyber-kartan was ensnared by the bola, and Batman had managed to get to the awning.

The creature was clearly struggling to escape. By the time it managed to get out of the bindings, Batman had dropped on it, pinning it to the ground, and giving it a brutal beatdown. Quickly leaving after planting some bat-bombs, he covered his face from the debris.

*BOOM!*

"YES! FINALLY!" Batman relished in his victory. In this action, he had forgotten that Panther was nearby and started doing a dance that he learned long ago.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Batman was doing the Batusi. Going through the motions, he was actually having a good time. having lost the fight against Black Panther, he was finally enjoying himself after needing to be overworked.

*snap*

Batman was brought out of his dance number by a snapping of a camera.

"And… saved." Panther smirked under his mask, "Spider-Man is going to love this."

"You delete that. Delete it now." Batman snarled.

"Or what? You'll kill me? it's not like you can." Panther quipped back.

Batman took a step forward only for T'Challa to wave a finger over his phone.

"Ah ah ah, Batman." Panther chided, "One wrong move, and this goes to everyone. I'm sure that Stark won't lord it over your head."

Batman put both of his hands up in surrender, "What do you want?"

"Stop taking so long in the shower. In fact, stop being the first one in it every morning." Panther glared.

"Really? - that's your demand?" Batman asked, "I've heard more threatening ones from Killer Moth."

"Okay, attach to file, and…"

"STOP!" Batman conceded, "Fine. I'll go last in the shower."

"Thought you'd say that." Panther replied, "I know you can't tell, but I am smirking right now."

"Okay, so I was thinking that maybe we do something similar to our old combo attack, but we launch T'Challa into the air and you toss your shield to him so that we slam him and the shield into the opponent."

Cap nodded, "That sounds like a good plan. The three of us don't have to change much. Should I use hand-to-hand to try to keep the opponent in a particular location?"

"Wouldn't hurt." Spider-Man Classic replied.

*CRASH!*

"What was that?"

"If I had to guess," Peter said, "Hercule is trying to teach Yoshi how to ride a ball."

"Why?"

"I don't know." Spidey shrugged, "Maybe it's on his bucket list."

"Speaking of, what was your team-based attack before I showed up anyways?"

"You know how I flung Bruce's explosives back at him?"

Steve nodded.

"It was kinda like that. Except we trapped the explosive batarangs onto our target with my webbing to increase damage." Spider-Man explained, "One time, we had to trap Shao Kahn in a cocoon of webbing and the explosives all went off while he was inside the thing."

"I take it he still survived?" Cap guessed.

"Oh yeah. We needed senzu beans after he was through with us. Strider had to finish him off."

"How did Shao Kahn manage to beat you anyways?"

"We wore ourselves out keeping civilians safe and stopping their minions. I was busy keeping a building from falling while Diana and Thor repaired it. Vegeta was busy somewhere else, and Rayden was fighting off Fulgore. Not to mention that this was when Godzilla was supposed to fight Gamera, but, we all know what happened there."

"Right. The crash of twenty-fourteen." Cap nodded, "I take it that the chaos made everyone go at it?"

"Vegeta, Thor, and Wonder Woman really kept the odds in our favor. Though, Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn made it hard to keep up. Soul stealing and all."

"Makes sense."

*CRASH!*

"NO NO NO! KEEP YOUR HEAD FORWARD! DO YOU WANT TO RIDE THAT BALL OR NOT?"

"Better go make sure that Yoshi doesn't eat him…" Spidey sighed, "again."

X: AND THE OVERRATED FLYING RAT BITES THE DUST! MWA HAHAHAHAHA!

Wade: You're taking this well.

Pinkie: Yeah. I just have to get ready to see Twilight again! It's going to be great to see half of us back together again! I wonder if Applejack will show up soon…

Alexis: Tweet tweet tweet!

X: Can honestly say that I didn't see that matchup coming. At least, not now, anyways. I was expecting it in the middle of the season.

Wade: Your friend isn't going to get over-obsessive about everyone's abilities and stuff, right?

Pinkie: I make no promises for other people or ponies.

X: Fair enough… Waitasecond! Where the hell were you?

Wade: Yeah! I had to deal with this guy bitching about Batman fighting for a third time! And Alexis wasn't that helpful!

Pinkie: I was planning for a friend to show up.

X: Yeah, that's a load of crap. You were just avoiding my foul mood.
