-----------
A/N: We are adding some friendly drama today, ulalala.
-----------
Batman still hasn’t woken up after Arkham. Batgirl is hiding something about Donnie, and you and Leo have a moment.
Warnings: None as far as I can think of other than spelling💙
The reader and the turtles are 19.
-----------
Sometimes you wondered where on earth you would be without Alfred. Had he not been a part of your life, you weren’t sure how any of you would be able to get Bruce back home safely. And you had to admit, there was something badass about watching your father’s usually mild mannered butler drive the Batmobile out the gates of Arkham Asylum, with Bruce and Damian in the back, just in time before the police got there.
You stayed back at the asylum with Batgirl and the turtles, standing in the entrance with all the inmates groaning or unconscious on the floor, as commissioner Gordon drove up to the front door. The commissioner was stunned, staring at the inmates, shocked by their mutated state, registering only a few of the words Leonardo told him, as he explained what had transpired.
“Crime fighting mutant turtles, and a mutant snake Joker”, he sighed, rubbing his forehead, looking at the anti ooze Donatello had handed him. “I should really go on a vacation soon”.
You couldn’t blame the poor guy. He rarely had any days off, and you could only imagine how he was stressing him out. This city was never quiet, and with the still expanding addition of mutants, made it all worse for him.
With the police updated and the situation under control, all six of you made your way back to Wayne Manor. Raphael grumbled all along the way, about how he was going to punch Shredder and Ra’s al Ghul’s faces in with his bare fists.
“That’s good and all”, Leo told him over his shoulder as you jumped over the roofs. “But we have to find them first”.
Leo was right. After your visit at Arkham Asylum, you were no closer to finding either Ra’s or Shredder, nor any closer to understanding what they wanted to use Joker’s venom for. Everything was still one big mystery to all of you.
Once at Wayne Manor, you were quick to find both Alfred and Robin in the Batcave, both attending to Batman on the table. It was a scary sight. Damian looked slightly fearful, but Alfred looked as calm as ever, eyes on his pocket watch while feeling Batman’s pulse through two fingers on his neck. You felt your guts tighten, nervousness spreading throughout your body.
“Is he going to be okay?”, you asked the butler, your eyes never leaving your father’s mask covered face.
“There’s nothing to fear, Miss (H/N)”, Alfred said, shooting you a small smile. “Master Donatello was right. The master is going to be alright”.
You breathed a sigh of relief, feeling Leonardo’s comforting hand on your shoulder, his pretty blue eyes as sincere as could be, with a reassuring smile on his lips.
“When do you think he’ll wake up?”, Robin asked, worry still painted in his eyes as he took Batman’s hand in his, hoping to gain some sort of comfort.
“That is hard to say, Master Robin”, Alfred sighed, before turning towards you and the turtles. “It could very easily take some time before Batman wakes up, so in the meantime, it would probably be a good idea to show our guests the rooms they spend the night in”.
Mikey gasped, clapping his hands together with sparkles in his eyes. “Rooms?! As in, rooms with beds?! Real beds, and not just some tables in an old abandoned coffee shop?!”
You looked at Leo in confusion, raising your eyebrow as a way to ask him. “We’ve been spending the past few nights in an old abandoned coffee shop”, he sighed, trying to ignore your shocked expression and Batgirl’s giggles.
“How… accommodating”, Alfred hesitated before walking toward the exit. “Follow me gentleman, and I’ll show you to your rooms”.
The turtles looked at each other, shrugged, before following Alfred, all while Mikey skipped in his step, happy to finally be able to sleep in a soft bed once again.
As the evening went on, each of the turtles were shown to one of the many guest rooms throughout Wayne Manor. Alfred, who did not want the guys to tear up the place while he was asleep, and assigned them rooms as far away from each other as possible, first walking Mikey to his room, so he wouldn’t be able to know what halls his brothers were sleeping in.
As the four turtles made themselves at home in their momentary rooms, you stayed back in the Batcave with Barbara and Damian, watching over Bruce. All three of you, getting tired after a long night of unease, had removed your masks. You sighed as you took it off, rubbing your tired eyes, feeling a little bit of relief from taking the fabric off of your face.
Damian stayed close to your father, positioning himself on a stole, allowing him to watch over the dark knight. You sat yourself on an adjacent table, watching Barbara as she worked on the chemicals on the table in front of her. Anything that could help Bruce was appreciated, and maybe she could make something that could help him wake up.
But as you watched Barbara work, you couldn’t help but think of what Damian had asked her and Donnie, back at Arkham. “We didn’t interrupt your snugging, did we?” That comment repeated in your head, along with the way you had seen Leo smirk at Donnie when Barbara had caught Joker off guard. Your little brother was a little piece of shit sometimes, but there were times where he noticed things that you never even had thought of.
“So”, you asked, playing with the end of your left sleeve, thinking of the best way to ask. “Did you and Donnie kiss?”
Barbara almost knocked over all the glass tubes in front of her before shooting you a hard glare. Okay, maybe that had been too straightforward.
“It is questions like those that make me refuse to believe you and Damian ain’t actually related”, she retorted, turning back to the chemical balance she held by a cup.
“That was not the answer I was looking for”, you teased, leaning back onto the table, letting your head roll onto your shoulder. “But for real, did you and Donnie kiss in Arkham?”
“I have a better question for you, (Y/N)”, she said, not taking her eyes off the glass tube she now held in her hand, rotating it in circles. “Did you and Leo kiss?”
That question shocked you. Blinking a few times, you had to connect the wires in your brain.
“No”, you said, wondering how it wasn’t obvious. “My dad was there throughout the whole thing! Obviously we wouldn’t have kissed with him around”.
“So you would have kissed him if Bruce wasn’t around?”, she asked, a smirk on her lips, causing Damian to erupt in laughter. Fuck. You had fallen straight into her trap.
“That’s not what I said!”, you exclaimed, feeling yourself getting cornered.
“Well, that’s what it sounded like”, Barbara smiled. “It makes sense, I mean, didn’t he have pretty eyes?”
You blushed so hard that Damian was practically rolling on the floor, screaming about how busted you were. Your little crush on Leo was no longer so little, nor as hidden as you had thought it was.
You jumped from the table and down onto the floor, your cheeks still burning brightly red, steam practically fuming out of your ears as you started marching for the stairs. Anything to get away from those two, and the chaos that you had brought upon yourself.
“Whatever”, you grumbled. “I’m going to my room. Tell me when there’s food”.
“Say hey to Leo for me!”, Barbara yelled after you, once again making Robin laugh. It was a wonder how Bruce hadn’t woken up from all that noise yet.
Once you got to your room, you slammed the door shut behind you, before letting out a frustrated sound. Of course that was where Barbara had to turn the conversation. You should have known. You loved that girl like a sister, but her smart brains made her a horror to banter with, because she would often win… if not always.
With a sigh, you threw your mask onto your large bed, before turning towards your closet. You had now been wearing that superhero costume for what felt like days, and you were very much looking forward to wearing something else. You pulled some soft comfy closing for the closet, before shutting it and turning back towards your bed. But when you suddenly noticed that you weren’t alone in your room anymore, an unknown presence standing right beside you, your now open door casting their face in a shadow, you moved fast. You dropped the close in your hand, before kicking out the strangers legs, making them fall to the ground with a groan, before you jumped on the, pressing your forearm against their neck, only to notice a pair of pretty blue eyes staring back at you.
“Leo!”, you gasped, hurrying to stand up. “Are you okay?”
“Y- yeah, I think so”, he mumbled, rubbing his head. You took slight pity on him, before extending your hand to him, helping him up from your bedroom floor.
“I know you’re a ninja and all, but please don’t sneak up on me like that”.
“S- sorry, old habit”, he stammered. “I- I just wanted to check and see if you were okay”.
You turned your head to the side, looking questionable ast him, wondering where this sudden stammer came from. “Why wouldn’t I be okay?”
“Y- you know, after all that happened at A- Arkham, both with Scarecrow and y- your father…” Leo ceased to talk when you placed a hand on his shoulder, looking up at him.
“Are you okay, Leo?”, you asked, concern in your voice. “I’ve never heard you stammer before. Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, it’s just”. He swallowed, biting his lip before he allowed himself to continue. “You’re not wearing your mask”. Oh. You turned your head, catching a glimpse of your mask, laying in the foot of your bed. Sudden nervousness washed over you, causing you to quickly remove your hand from his shoulder.
“Oh… yeah… I forgot…”, you mumbled. “Sorry about that”.
“I’m the one that should say sorry”, Leo admitted, letting out a small chuckle. “It was me that came into your room without knocking”.
You didn’t know what to say. The realization that this was the first time that Leo really saw your face, made your hands sweaty and your heart beating relentlessly, as if it tried to jump out of your ribcage. With Leo’s eyes watching your face, the only thing you felt like you could do was looking down at your feet, trying to hide your second blush in the past hour.
Leo didn’t know what came over him, because suddenly his hand was on your chin, tilting your face up towards him, letting his eyes wander across your features once more.
“You’re really pretty, (Y/N)”, Leo murmured, almost absentmindedly.
“Says the guy with the pretty eyes”, you retorted with a smile, causing Leo to chuckle lightly, momentarily avoiding your gaze. He was trying not to blush. How adorable. He licked his lip before giving it a small bit, looking back at you. Maybe you were seeing this, but you swore that he was closer to you now. The hand that still rested on your chin subconsciously tucking you towards him.
“You really think my eyes are that pretty?”, he asked, anticipation showing itself in his blue orbs.
You bit your lower lip before giving him a small nod, never dropping the intense eye contact the two of you had created with your close proximity. “If I didn’t I wouldn’t keep saying it, would I?”
Leo chuckled once more, this time not moving his eyes from yours. Then his eyes flickered down to your lips for a moment. You could only wonder what he was thinking of, but you did have a qualified guess. You would be lying if you said you hadn’t had the same thought about his lips.
Your heart skipped a beat as your faces got closer. Leo could feel your breath against his lips, making his own heart flutter. It felt wrong not to hold you in this moment, so Leo reached for your waist with his other hand, his fingertips softly gracing your side, as if he was scared it wasn’t okay. Your own fingers graced his arms, as a way to tell both you and him that it was okay.
You were so close. So close that you could almost feel Leo’s lips against your own, and as you closed your eyes, his striking blue ones were still clear in the eye of your mind. Those damn pretty eyes.
“Guys!”, a happy voice sounded from the hallway. You and Leo jumped from each other, just in time before Mikey stood in the doorway, a bright smile that soon was replaced by confusion, when he saw you and Leo’s flustered stages and your heavy breathing. You could only imagine how it looked from his perspective.
“What?”, Leo asked, fighting the blush that was forming on his face, trying his best not to sound annoyed.
“Well, I just wanted to hear if you two wanted pizza for dinner, or if we should get Alfred to cook, but if you two want to be alone…”
“Do whatever you like, Mikey”, Leo said, sounding more frustrated than he had intended. “Whatever you decide is probably good”.
“In that case!”, Mikey smiled brightly, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Alfred said he could get everything ready in half an hour, so don’t get too busy with each other!”
You sucked in a breath of pure surprise, feeling your body stiffen at his statement. Leo too was beyond flustered by this comment.
“Mikey!”, he yelled at his little brother, as the orange clad turtle ran away with a manic laugh. Still flustered, Leo turned towards you, embarrassment written all over his face. You could only imagine how you looked. Eyes wide and limbs stiffer than wood.
“Is he always that annoying?”, you asked, looking for a way to ease the tension.
“Yes”, Leo sighed. “All day, every day”.
“Sounds like Damian”, you sighed, shaking your head with a small smile. “Come, we should probably go to the dining hall before Mikey and Damian start putting together a narrative”.
“Sounds like a good idea”, Leo said, following you out of your bedroom.
—
The next morning you woke up earlier than the rest of the household, before making your way to the kitchen. Here you found a sleepy Damian eating breakfast made by Alfred, trying his best to stay awake.
“Damn, what happened to you?”, you asked, pouring yourself a glass of orange juice.
“Michelangelo got the bedroom next to mine”, Damian grumbled, poking at his eggs and bacon.
“And what’s wrong with that?”, you asked. “I thought you liked Mikey after he saved father”.
“I liked him, until he started snoring”, he growled, poking a hole into the egg yoke. He stared at it for a moment, before a mischievous smile appeared on his face. “Talking about like, guess what”.
“What?”, you asked confused as Alfred served you your quick breakfast.
“I saw Donatello in the hallway last night, long after dinner”, the little demon smiled.
“So?”, you asked, taking a sip of your orange juice.
“Donnie’s guest room is on a different wing. Barbara’s guest room is opposite of mine”. You almost choked on your orange juice, coughing in order to clear your airway. Damian placed his hands behind his head with a self satisfied smile. “So maybe your questions weren’t so far off last night”.
“Have you just given me dirt on Barbara, in case she dismisses my questions about her and Donnie again?”, you asked, chest still hurting from the orange juice.
“Yes I did”, he said, poking his fork into the egg.
“You really do love to watch the world burn, don’t you?”
“Thank my grandfather for that”, he said, chewing the egg with a smile.

Who's Who In The DC Universe: Batman of Earth-One and the Batman of Earth-Two
Batman of Earth-Two by Dave Gibbons & Batman of Earth-One by Dick Giordano
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman had versions on Earth-One and Earth-Two, mainly due to being members of the Justice Society and the Justice League. Other heroes like the Flash (Jay Garrick/Barry Allen) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott/Hal Jordan) were separate individuals using the same identity on different earths while the Trinity were always Bruce, Clark, and Diana.
The easiest way to cover the Batman entries would be to start with the similarities:
Both Batmen are named Bruce Wayne and hail from Gotham City
Parents were named Thomas and Martha Wayne
Both have an uncle named Philip Wayne
Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered by Joe Chill after leaving a movie theater. A traumatized Bruce witnessed the murders.
Bruce spent his formative years developing his mind and body to perfection.
Bruce adopted the Batman identity. A large bat crashing through a den in Wayne Manor inspired the creation of the Batman.
At first Batman had a rocky relationship with the police but later formed a partnership with Jim Gordon
Bruce took the recently orphaned Dick Grayson under his wing. Dick later became Robin the Boy Wonder.
And now, the details unique to each version:
Earth-Two:
While Thomas was shot by Joe Chill (causing his death), the shock of seeing his death caused Martha to have a fatal heart attack.
Bruce was placed under the guardianship of his Uncle Phillip who raised him to adulthood.
Bruce moved back into Wayne Manor after coming into his inheritance.
Batman carried a gun in his first few cases but soon gave it up.
He was a charter member of the Justice Society and the All-Star Squadron.
He maintained his playboy image until the late 1950s, when he married Selina Kyle (Catwoman).
He semi-retired the Batman identity once he reached middle age and became the Gotham City Police Commissioner upon Jim Gordon’s retirement.
Bruce and Selena had a daughter named Helena.
Selina died at the hands of a former criminal colleague, inspiring Helena to become the Huntress. Bruce gave up the Batman identiy entirely after Selina’s death.
A year after the debut of the Huntress, Bruce donned the Batman uniform for the final time. He died aiding the Justice Society, saving Gotham from a super-powered criminal.
Relatives unique to Earth-Two Bruce: Selina Kyle (wife), Helena Wayne (daughter), and Karl Kyle (brother-in-law).
Earth-One:
Relatives unique to Earth-One Bruce: Lord Elwood Wayne (uncle, deceased)
A young (pre-murders) Bruce Wayne admired a costume Thomas wore to a party. It would later inspire the creation of the Batman uniform.
Joe Chill was acting under the orders of Lew Moxon. Moxon was seeking revenge against Thomas Wayne as his testimony had sent Moxon to prison.
Bruce way placed under the care of his uncle Philip. Philip was a world-class traveler, so Bruce spent his formative years under the guidance of Philip’s housekeeper, Mrs. Chilton. Unknown to Bruce, Chilton was Joe Chill’s mother.
Bruce served an apprenticeship under Harvey Harris (the world’s foremost detective) while training to be Batman.
Frustrated by laws that seemed to help criminals more than their victims, Bruce left law school.
As on Earth-Two, Bruce took Dick Grayson under his wing. The difference being that Dick’s costume was inspired by the one Bruce wore while serving as an apprentice under Harvey Harris.
Bruce left his playboy image for a time and devoted himself to running Wayne Enterprises and building the Wayne Foundation into one of the world’s foremost philanthropic organizations. He later relinquished his day-to-day involvement in the organizations to devote more time to being Batman.
Bruce has recently become the guardian of Jason Todd, a young circus performer whose parents were murdered by Croc. Todd has since become the new Robin.
Batman, a founding member of the Justice League, has recently resigned due to a philosophical dispute over law and justice.
He has recently formed a new team called the Outsiders.
The next few entries are of Batman’s utility belt, the Batmobile, the Batplane, and the Batboat. Mostly drawings with some basic information.
Everybody knows Batman. Ask any non-comic book fans to name a superhero, and you have a ninety percent chance of the person responding with Batman. He’s had a bazillion comic books where he is the focus and has made millions of guest appearances in other comics. As for non-comic book media…he’s easily the most featured hero of all time. No one else comes close. Batman has starred in radio dramas, multiple movies and tv series, along with many cartoon series and animated movies. And numerous video games. Not to mention all the merchandising.
Whether you love or hate the character, if you were to make a list of the top 100 super-heroes of all time, you would have a hard time justifying not putting Batman in the #1 spot.
I love certain versions of Bruce (the bronze age, BTAS/DCAU, Justice League International, Young Justice cartoon, Wayne Family Adventures) and despise others (the majority of the 2000s).
As for the actual Who’s Who entries:
I miss the Bruce – Selina marriage. The cop-out during the King run was lame. And infuriating if you spent money on all the tie-in issues (which I did not).
I wish Helena would be born during curing continuity (I know adult Helena is running with the JSA but I want baby Helena just for the interactions with her bat-siblings).
If the “Bruce was placed under a housekeeper’s care while his guardian travelled the world” bit was canon in the post-Crisis era it would have been a great element to add to the Bruce-Tim Drake bond.
I don’t like the Dick’s costume was inspired by Bruce bit. Dick’s Robin indentiy is inspired by his parents only.
I hate Jason’s pre-Crisis origin. “He’s exactly like Dick but with red hair but we’ll dye it black” – that’s the best you could do, DC? Seriously?

Botanic Sorceress: Poison Ivy's Enchanted Realm by Jade Gretz
Gotham City awoke to a suffocating blanket of emerald green. Where towering skyscrapers once pierced the sky, a dense network of thorny vines now reigned supreme. Razor-sharp leaves, shimmering with an unnatural luminescence, formed an intricate labyrinth in the heart of the metropolis. In the center of this botanical nightmare stood Pamela Isley, her emerald green eyes gleaming with a feral intelligence. She was no longer just Poison Ivy – she was the Mother, the architect of this thorny dominion.
The city was hers, a sprawling garden where she reigned supreme. Gone were the screeching sirens and the incessant rumble of traffic. In their place, the wind whispered through the leaves, a lullaby played on instruments of pain. But this wasn't a haven – it was a trap. Trapped inside were those who had wronged her – corrupt politicians, callous industrialists, anyone who had dared to exploit nature.
One such captive was Harvey Dent, the Two-Face of Gotham. He stumbled through the verdant maze, his scarred face contorted in a grotesque rictus of fear. On one side, his voice, gravelly and desperate, cursed at Ivy. On the other, a chillingly calm voice recited sonnets about the beauty of decay.
The very air within the maze pulsed with a potent toxin, a concoction brewed from Ivy's rage and the city's industrial waste. It twisted minds and amplified anxieties. For Harvey, it amplified the duality within him – a maddening choice between rage and despair.
Elsewhere, Commissioner Gordon hacked his way through the vines with a rusty machete, his face grim with determination. He knew Ivy wasn't just holding the city hostage - she was making a statement. A statement about the city's disregard for its environment, its insatiable hunger that choked the life out of the earth.
But Gordon's way was blocked by a gargantuan Venus Flytrap, its maw agape, dripping with digestive juices. Inside, two figures writhed in agony – Penguin, his expensive clothes shredded, and Scarecrow, his gas mask useless against the toxins in the air. They were unlikely allies, united only by their shar

Panic
SHIP: Scarebat/Batcrow (Batman x Scarecrow) (BTAS ver)
CHARACTERS: Batman, Scarecrow, Jim Gordon, The Joker, Dr. Bartholomew (mentioned)
WARNINGS: Panic attacks, fear, vomit
It had been one of those nights, a stressful one. Many crime gangs were popping up left and right, leaving Batman to track them down and clean up their mess. He had just finished rounding up the newest gang, when he spotted the bat signal from the corner of his eye. Annoyed, he left the members tied and left without a sound. He appeared at the source of light, facing Commissioner Gordon.
“Ah, you’re here, good..” He sighed, as if a bit annoyed himself. “Dr. Bartholomew gave us a call, Scarecrow’s up to his old tricks again.”
“An escape..” Batman hummed to himself.
“Yup, but he’s not the only one. Joker escaped too.” Gordon explained, “Only the two of them. An unlikely pair, to say the least.”
Batman could only think, nodding as he fled off in his search. What could the two possibly share in common? They don’t get along much, they don’t share much in common, the only thing he could think of is their want of chemicals. Well, he could search there.
The first place he checked was Crane Chemicals, and sure enough..
“So, do you have any chemicals for my dear, beautiful flower here?” The Joker’s voice rang out, you could visually see him grinning.
“Perhaps, I have acid if that could work.” Scarecrow’s voice replied, sounding rather annoyed. “What exactly are you planning?”
“Why, the biggest April Fools Days that Gotham has ever seen!”
“..Lovely, well there should be a beaker full of acid somewhere in this dump. It’s been months since I’ve had the opportunity to clean and organize this place..” Crane hummed. Batman stalked through one of the windows, watching the two rogues search for the item.
“Well Jon, I gotta say, I never expected you to help me here.” Joker grinned, followed by an amused laugh.
Jonathan, in turn, frowned. “We both got we wanted. I wanted to escape, so I gave you my chemicals for your next plan. Simple.”
Batman narrowed his eyes, deciding that now would be the best time to strike. He crashed through the window, startling the two men. Joker looked around for an escape route, but spotted a large glass container of the substance he was looking for. Acid. There was his prize. Scarecrow immediately drew out his dart-gun, aiming it directly at the Batman. He was about to pull the trigger, when Joker snatched the gun from his hand.
“Now, now, there’s no need to fight. After all, Crane, I got what I wanted.” Joker let out a sickening giggle.
“What on Earth are you doing, you idiot! Shoot him!” Scarecrow roared, pointing fiercely at the vigilante.
Joker shrugged, and aimed the gun at Batman. Before firing, he swerved his hand to the side and fired. A dart flew through the air and landed in Crane’s side, causing him to let out a loud cry. “Whoops!”
Batman’s eyes widened, immediately running forward. Joker dropped the gun and ran, grabbing the glass of acid on his way out. “Thanks for the distraction, Crane! Ahahaha!”
The hero turned to the other rogue, who had quickly sunk to the floor. Jon grasped his side in pain, breathing heavily as panic washed over him like a sudden wave. Batman watched for a second, before his body moved on its own. He approached the villain, sitting on his knees as he watched over him. Faint whimpers loomed in the air before being replaced with violent screams of terror. Crane thrashed and yelled, fear consuming his eyes as he clawed at the invisible force of horror.
“No..! No please! Stay away, stay away!” His cries of mercy rang through the area, and all Batman could do was watch. He watched the fear bubble and boil in Crane’s chest, watching him suddenly squeeze his stomach and turn over. Before he knew it, Scarecrow would gag and spew onto the ground. He was in so much distress, his mind swirled and his stomach ached. Batman reached forward and took Jonathan by his sides, hoisting him over his shoulder. He squirmed and whimpered as he tried to get away, but the vigilante’s hard grip wouldn’t let him go anywhere. He opened up the keyboard on his utility belt, calling the Batmobile to park outside the building. For now, Joker would have to wait. He opened the car and climbed inside, setting the villain in the passenger’s seat.
“Calm yourself, Crane.” Batman spoke, helping the other ease into the seat. Crane was still shaken up, visibly trembling as he sat down. “I must have something in here that can help you..”
Batman looked through the car, he always kept an array of medicine and first aid in case of emergencies. His eyes spotted a small container, an agent used to help calm anxiety. He knew full well it wasn’t going to get rid of the fear toxin, but it would at least slow down the effects. The hero took an empty syringe from a small box, and filled it with the liquid. Crane was still mumbling to himself as Batman took his arm without warning, causing the other to yelp in surprise. He rolled up his sleeve, and stuck the syringe in without hesitation. After injecting the calming agent, he buckled himself and Crane, and drove off.
After a few minutes of driving, Scarecrow seemed to be a bit more calm. He was no longer as frightened. The Batmobile parked next to Arkham’s gates, and Batman stepped out. He took Jonathan by his waist, now carrying him on his shoulder.
“Can you sense reality, Crane?” Batman asked.
“..yes..” Crane mumbled.
“Good.” Batman set him down once they reached the building, doctors already coming out. They took Crane into their own hands, thanking the vigilante for catching him.
Jonathan turned to the hero, “He’s hitting the April Fools Day carnival tomorrow.”
Batman nodded, watching the other being brought back inside, before turning away to find the Joker.

Hi. This blog looks cool. How do I get into the bat family? I've looked at some stuff online but I didn't really understand and read some of the Wayne family adventures but I don't really know what order I should read the comics into.
Thanks @thisisbjustmehyperfixating! That really depends on what era/continuity you're intrtested in. There are a few distict different ones (although they do all tie together to some degree). I mostly read New Earth/Post-Crisis era stuff. Wayne Family Adventures isn't a good jumping on point for the comics as it seems geared more toward fandom fans than comic fans and doesn't seem to follow any canon continuity/characterization, from what I've seen.
There's a four part story called Batman: Year Three (Batman issues #436-439), which I think is a good jumping on point for New Earth bat family, as it introduces Dick/Robin while also showing some of Bruce's early Bat career.
Batman: The Cult is a really interesting story wherein Batman loses before the big win and Jason (as Robin) picks up the slack. Then, Batman #424 & #425 showcases Bruce & Jason's issues that lead to Batman: A Death in the Family (Batman #426-429).
The Mud Pack story (Detective Comics #604-607) showcases Bruce's headspace after Jason's death well and is a good read before Tim's introduction, I think.
Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying (Batman: #140-142 & The New Titans #60 &61) introduces Tim and really kicks off the bat family as it's generally known today.
Batman Annual #13 (1989) shows how Alfred ended up helping to shape Batman and why he stayed after Bruce started his crusade. It also shows that JASON was in fact the first Robin to wear pants and has some nice moments with Babs & Commissioner Gordon.
Batman #456 & 457 really kicks off Tim's Robin run. His first three mini series introduce a lot of great characters (I personally love Huntress) and concepts, too. They're collected in the trades Robin: Tragedy & Triumph and Robin: A Hero Reborn. The latter also has Batman #456 & 457 in it, so it's a good deal.
I'm personally a big fan of Batman: Dark Victory and Batman: Haunted Knight. I just love the way the Rogues are used in those stories.
Nightwing: Alfred's Return is a good story that focuses on those two named characters without Batman's immediate presence.
Batman: Son of the Demon (1987) showcases the relationship between Bruce and Talia nicely, gives some much needed history on her, and includes the original story of how they had a child together.
Batgirl #1-6 (2000) are packed full of information on Cassndra; they cover her background with David Cain, her language barrier, her fighting prowless and reason for fighting, as well as showing her relationships with Babs and Bruce.
I cannot reccomend the first 20-30 issues of Batman: Gotham Knights (2000) enough for bat family content. Several of the early issues include journal enteries or letters written by members of the family to showcase their feelings/relationships in a way they wouldn't otherwise express them. The story with Hugo Strange is peak Dick & Tim bat brother bonding. The issue with Cassandra really shows how alike she and Bruce are. You have issues that showcase Babs' relatipnship with some of the bats and ones that cover the Dick & Slade weirdness.
Red Hood: The Lost Days and Batman: Death and the Maidens take place before Batman: Under the Red Hood and I feel are really needed to understand Jason and Talia's side of the story, as UtRH is (understandably, since the story was first published in the Batman ongoing) very Batman focused.
I'm going to leave that here for now as it's getting a bit long and mobile is being a pain. Hopefully that gives you an idea of where to start looking for the stuff you see here on my blog. ^_^

Additional Notes:
Barbara’s main villains were Doc Ock, Vulture, Lizard, Shocker, and Mysterio. The only villains present during her tenure were: Doc Ock, Vulture, Lizard I, Mysterio, Sandwoman, Kingpin, Black Cat, Silvermane, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Electro, Swarm, Prowler, and Shocker.
>>Barbara knew Kraven the Hunter was active and a villain via Dick, but never fought him personally.
>>Barbara mainly fought her big three: Doc Ock, Shocker, and Lizard. She also handled a lot of mafia/gang related crimes, in conjunction with her father’s work.
>>Barbara’s toughest battles were with Lizard I (mainly emotional) and Doc Ock.
Jaye’s main villains are Green Goblin/Two Faced Goblin, Kingpin, Mister Negative, Venom & Carnage. The villains present during her tenure are: Doc Ock, Vulture, Lizard II, Mysterio, Sandwoman, Black Cat, Kingpin, Shocker, Electro, Rhino, Venom & Carnage, Kraven the Hunter, Grim Hunter & Ana Kravinoff, Prowler, Swarm, Mister Negative, Hammerhead, Tombstone, and Silvermane.
>>Jaye mainly fights her big four: Two-Faced Goblin, Kingpin, Mister Negative, and Venom & Carnage. Jaye also handles a lot of gang related activity but for different reasons than Barbara--whereas Barbara acted very much like a police detective, Jaye was trying to protect Crime Alley (aka Barbara worked with the police and Jaye does not).
>>Black Cat, Doc Ock, Lizard II, and Ana Kravinoff are technically “villains” but Jaye has good working relationships with them.
>>Jaye’s toughest battles are Venom & Carnage and Two-Faced Goblin (mainly emotional).
>>Jaye was adopted around 12-13, and grew up with Bruce and Talia (and later on, baby Damian), but also Uncle Harvey, Bruce’s best friend. Harvey, unfortunately, will be attacked and scarred by Tombstone (Maroni) and become the Two-Faced Goblin.
>>Unclear if Jaye knows Willis is Prowler.
>>Madame Web and Starling are newest additions to the hero community in Jaye’s time, and did not meet Barbara. Starling (Steph) knew of her because of her father and Madame knew her through her clairvoyance, but neither of them had ever met her face to face or interacted with one another.
And the lil drabble that started it all:
Out of all the leftover characters and remnants from Barbara’s time as Spidey, Black Cat is the only one she doesn’t mind.
Granted, he’s still a pain in the ass.
But, he also doesn’t try to kill her. Maim? Maybe, if she gets on his bad side. Use as a cat scratcher? More times than she can count, for no reason beyond “he was bored.”
He’s never gone for the jugular though and that she can appreciate.
And even she can admit, Barbara had good taste in men.
#ask game#ladytauria#fanfic ask game#thank you so much for the ask!!! <3 <3#i went through like four different versions of teams and characters for this au before settling on this version#the og very first version had peter parker as barbara and mj as kori and green goblin as luke and lucius fox#there was another version where tim was harry osborn and green goblin jr; jaye was peter and barbara was spider-woman jessica drew#so many possibilities#and dont get me started on the teams#the champions were the closest to be settled with nova = kyle rayner; viv vision = miss martian; young cyclops = kon#i refuse to do the avengers team thou#that's too much work#i still think rose as deadpool would be hilariously perfect but who knows#artemis and bizzaro are going to be in this too just not quite sure as heroes or civilians yet#thank you for giving me the opportunity to ramble about this au#i put way too much thought into it for having zero scenes of actual writing lmaooo

What If............................... The Joker Reformed?
This is an Elseworld's idea I recently had after rereading "The Killing Joke". I'd always wondered what would've happened if The Joker did take up Batman's offer at the end of the story, and I eventually came up with a story in which Joker does agree to let Batman rehabilitate him. At first, Joker just spent the first few months in Arkham Asylum actually complying with the doctors and guards. But he eventually does escape, terrified of change and just wanting to do his old dance with Batman. Realizing he needs to keep a closer eye on him in order to make sure this does work, Batman secretly has Joker moved into Wayne Manor, confining him to a single room and forcing him to stick to a specific schedule. If he even deviates once from taking his medication, he's going right back to Arkham. Alfred hates this idea, but sticks by Bruce's side out of loyalty. When Barbara and Dick eventually hear about this, they initially think that Bruce has lost his mind and that Joker must be playing him. But Bruce does manage to at least talk them into leaving him alone. After a year goes by with no intrusions or deviations, Joker is allowed access to certain parts of the manor, such as the dining hall and living room. Alfred is always there to make sure nothing happens, watching Joker like a hawk and flinching at the most minor actions. Alfred utterly despises Joker, as aside from Joe Chill, he is the primary cause of Batman's suffering. He killed Jason Todd, crippled Barbara Gordon, and has dogged Batman to the ends of the earth in order to forever play his maniacal game of cat & mouse with him. However, Joker is 100% serious about reforming and just wants to be allowed to show that he can change. One night while Batman was out chasing after The Riddler, Riddler ended up getting the jump on Batman and knocked him unconscious, trapping him inside of a 100 acre mirror maze littered with dozens of laser beams that fire randomly every 20 seconds. What Alfred and the others were unaware of was that Joker knows Batman is Bruce Wayne, he just never cared. When Bruce radioed for Alfred to send in Nightwing, Joker overheard and snuck into the Batcave ahead of everyone. He then stole the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh costume, hotwired the Bat-cycle, and sped away. While Batman was running through the maze and dodging lasers, he ended up getting burned on his left arm and was trapped at a dead end. Before the lasers could finish him off, Joker came crashing through one of the mirrors and destroyed the laser beam with an explosive Batarang. He then tended to Batman's wound before grappling them up to Riddler's control room. The two then defeated the Riddler and duct-taped him to the signal for Commissioner Gordon. Impressed with Joker's heroic action, Batman eventually started to teach him how to be a vigilante. It turns out that Joker was more adept at this thing than he was even aware of. It'll still take a while for him to earn the trust of the rest of the Bat-family, but he's happy as Batman's new sidekick. Batman & The Joker: The New Dynamic Duo.

I have no idea why the artists working for DC continue to decide to put the Prime Earth version of Two-Face into this hot pink suit, but I do have to admit that it is A Look™. And I absolutely love it.
Like, you go, you funky little gay man, you! You look GREAT in that little outfit!
But also while I'm here, I swear that in Deface the Face, they drew Two-Face a good head or more shorter than Batman and Commissioner Gordon. So now whenever I see him in this pink suit, I can only see Two-Face as baby. Short king murder baby, but still baby. I'm half tempted to continue calling Two-Face's 'good side' "Harvey" but to start calling his 'bad side' "Junior." Because that's all I can see. A tiny little confused sir in a hot pink suit.
#batman#two-face#harvey dent#two face#deface the face#prime earth#like apparently Harvey's supposed to be 6'. He isn't by any stretch of the imagination a short man.#But why did they have to make him so much shorter than Batman and Gordon!??? Baby! That's why!

Androxys Reads... Batman #402 and #403
Welcome back to Androxys Reading Comics! If you’re just joining, all my reads can be found under #androxys reads comics. Today’s sampling: Batman #402 and #403, both collected in Batman: Second Chances. Let’s get right into it.
[Batman #402]
I think it’s so dramatic to put Batman’s logo in the middle of the melodramatic narration boxes, but also, it’s kinda camp. Go off king. Seek your “human target.”
I see our hapless victims are literally named Dick and Jane, because of course they are. You have to conjure up the image of youthful innocence, right before you slap them with the narration that “they’re slumming tonight – because they’re into Rock ‘n’ Roll.” In this case, I guess “slumming” means going to a rock show in a poorer part of town? This street of Gotham they’re on doesn’t look any grimier than any other?
Gratuitous 80’s violence is gratuitous… The man’s teeth are knocked out and the woman is threatened by the lecherous man, because as we all know, terrible violence only exists in poorer communities because poor people are bad. Ronald Reagan told me so.
A silhouetted Batman strikes, snapping the two muggers’ necks, because again, it’s the 80’s.
[Batman #402]
This little segment is interesting because in some ways, we sure have been using this same plot forever as a foil to Batman, huh? “Your way doesn’t fix things, so I have to Cross The Line to make it matter.” This is just the second Batman comic of New Earth, and yet here’s this theme already. I think Under the Red Hood will do it better, of course, but it’s worth calling out where this thread pops up.
[Batman #402]
Wait a minute! You’re not Bruce!
Because the murder was committed by That Guy in a Batman suit, GCDP supposes that Batman just went off the deep end and is killing now. They lure him to the rooftop by way of Batsignal, and I really like the narration here:
“Three A.M. – Late for the familiar yellow beam to pierce the sky – but the Batman doesn't think twice when summoned by his old friend. He doesn’t even think once. He just goes.”
What a sweet way to portray the depth of his relationship with Gordon: when he sees the signal, he assumes Gordon needs him, and he doesn’t hesitate. That speaks volumes, especially knowing who Bruce will become.
[Batman #402]
It is a trap, though, and his little “whoops” is hilarious to me.
Bruce notes that he didn’t see Gordon on the rooftop, but he did see Deputy Commissioner Barnes, leading him to muse that they’ve both been betrayed. Frankly, I think the fact that they shot on sight is evidence enough for that– Gordon is a special comic character, if only because he knows what Miranda Rights are.
[Batman #402]
I can’t keep highlighting every time Bruce and Jim are friends, but I will do it until they drag me away from my keyboard. They’re precious to me, your honor. The other thing in this panel is how to Bruce, crime is crime. Muggings are never “simple,” something to be trivialized. He should know.
[Both from Batman #402]
Okay… I know in my last post I hunkered down as a Jason Defender, but I have to play it evenly. There’s the panel here where Jason asks Bruce “what would be so wrong if you did [kill those muggers]?” Bruce and Jason have a conversation after that, Bruce emphasizing that “murder is the line we must not cross.” Jason counters that Bruce has killed before, which Bruce notes was in self-defense. I have to assume this is a pre-Crisis element that was folded into the New Earth continuity, in the same way that we’re accepting that Jason is Bruce’s ward already, rather than all comics starting at the beginning of the timeline. We’ll have flashback comics to flesh out that timeline (like the upcoming Year One) but this is still a bit in media res, with some Pre-Crisis stuff still being on the table until proven otherwise. See, this is the sort of confusing comics stuff that drives people nuts.
Bruce ends this conversation by saying that “if we’re no better than the lice who snuff out human life like it’s worth nothing at all, then, well – then it’s time I hung up my cowl.” Jason replies “I guess. But I’m still glad those guys are dead.'' Bruce admits that he agrees, though he’s not proud of it.
If the Batman comics right now are utilizing a blend of Pre-Crisis elements and a nebulous, still undefined New Earth continuity, Jason is really getting a raw deal. Because any/all of his old Pre-Crisis cheer and magic is still potentially there, but at the same time, I feel like we’re seeing the seeds for the death of Felipe Garzonas here. Jason asks the question, “is it so bad if you did kill them?” and doesn’t seem convinced by the answer. Bruce is empathetic to Jason’s sentiment, but Bruce has demonstrated that his sympathy to that idea does not extend to action. His ideals are too strong. Jason, on the other hand, is still in a more precarious spot.
Bruce goes out to interview the widow of a woman who was killed by the same muggers, who admits to Bruce that he’s also glad that they’re dead. The theme of this comic seems to be apathy towards human life.
Hmm… don’t like the quotes around “police brutality” there, Gordon. I feel like what you’re describing is pretty clearly misconduct by one of your cops, actually.
[Both from Batman #402]
Another Jason moment here… another instance of him not seeming to have a clear eye on what it is that they do, what the mission is about. I feel you can tie this back to Batman #401, which was all about establishing what that mission is. We the reader are being guided here, to make our own decisions on what Batman is about, and if we agree more with Bruce or Jason.
[Batman #402]
Batman is on the hunt for the suspect, and he muses that he wants this to be an underworld conspiracy rather than a “good cop gone bad” situation. We know that Batman believes in the cause of justice, but I feel this tiptoes a little closely to the idea that there are people for whom it’s more of a tragedy for them to succumb to crime, rather than taking the position that it’s tragic for anyone to become a criminal. I don’t know, there just seems to be an implicit writing off of criminals that once they’ve become criminals, well, that’s all we can expect of them. But this good cop, this good and decent man, oh how awful.
Bruce also acknowledges that the similarity in this imposter’s mission is to take on crime, just as Batman’s is, and he even recognizes why Jason makes that connection. But it doesn’t clear the insurmountable hurdle that is the sanctity of human life, which separates them. One distinction, but a huge one.
Batman races to save a mob assassin who’s getting immunity and witness protection in return for testimony, which he seems none too pleased about.
[Batman #402]
Just last issue, I spent a lot of time talking about how one of Batman’s great virtues was that he empathized with the criminals he fights, even as he brings them to justice for their crimes. Yet here, he obviously holds no love for Snuffer. What gives? If pressed, I’d say it’s the difference between Magpie’s crimes being rooted in mental illness (however poorly portrayed) versus Snuffer’s being a killer for money. There’s a disregard for human life (again, that theme) that Snuffer has calculated and accepted, versus Magpie who is portrayed as more “helpless” against herself.
The imposter drops down, screaming that Snuffer doesn’t deserve to live… and sentiment that Bruce doesn’t seem to disagree with, but again, the whole point is that life is sacred, no matter how scummy the person is.
Robin drops in and distracts the guy long enough for Bruce to lay him out, leaving only the police to come by and pick the imposter up.
[Batman #402]
This panel drives me a little bonkers. “Who am I but just another guy who thinks he’s Batman?” Bruce you are Batman! You invented it! But it’s also a recognition of Batman-as-idea, Batman-as-symbol. Bruce’s invention has gone on to mean something, and people are interpreting their own meaning from it just as fast as he can do actions under its banner. This idea especially drives me nuts when thinking about all the legacy characters and proteges who will take up this banner with their own flair, and what it means to them–to stop crime, to bring justice, to value life–though each with their own lines.
Also, let's all appreciate another moment of Small Jason.
Batman #403 starts with the imposter escaping police custody. I realize I never stated his name; his name is Tommy Carma. I guess there are only so many Batman villain names. Anyway, after Tommy breaks out of Arkham (oh hey, is this the first Arkham appearance in New Earth?) we get a smash cut to Bruce on a date with Vicki Vale. Vicki is dragging Batman for filth, which is made even funnier when she admits that what attracts her to Bruce is that he has “broad shoulders and millions of dollars…” and that he doesn’t wear a mask. Sis.
Interesting geography note, Arkham is listed here as being to the north of Gotham City, out in the county, and not too far from Wayne Manor. We learn this because Tommy is headed there, looking for Bruce Wayne. When the police later search for him, it seems that it’s actually easy to accidentally cross over from Arkham property to Wayne property. I don’t know if this is because they’re right up next to each other, or because the Waynes own large tracts of Kane County. My gut would say the latter.
In their car, Bruce and Vicki are discussing Carma–Vicki wonders if the mob’s killing his wife and kid caused his mind to snap, leading him to become this murderous Batman. Bruce, who also suffered a tragic loss that made him Batman, tactfully asks if Vicki wonders if the real Batman ever suffered something similar. Smooth, Bruce. Really though, I read this as another point in the long string of “people have Bad Days and some people handle them well and some people don’t” moments that Batman comics like to use. Anyway, did you know this was published a year and a half before The Killing Joke? I wonder what that writing to publication timeline looked like.
[Batman #403]
Fortunately, Bruce doesn’t seem too put out by Vicki’s putting Batman down. He and Jason go down to the Batcave, only to discover that the Batmobile is missing! This is because when Tommy Carma was hiding from the police, he ducked into a natural opening that ended up being connected to a larger cave system. He followed that cave into the Batcave, which really just makes me concerned about Bruce’s security. (Glances in Bruce Wayne: Murderer)
[Batman #403]
I also want to point out now that until he dons a Batsuit, Tommy Carma has been running from the police in this little crop top and sweatpants. I love the look.
Bruce, Jason, and Alfred use actual detective work to deduce that somehow, Tommy Carma got in the cave, and that he must have taken the Batmobile. I love seeing these three find clues and make inferences–it sounds like a gimme, that they’ll do detective work in Detective Comics Comics’ Detective Comics, but you’d be surprised.
Batman heads out on the Batcycle to find Gordon and let him know that Carma jacked his ride, where Gordon then tells Batman that really this is all Bruce Wayne’s fault. Smooth. Batman doesn’t seem too pressed, and jumps off a building.
[Batman #403]
Batman has realized that to kill the hitman, Carma would have had to know the address, so he finds his mole. They spat back and forth for a bit about the difference between a sin and a crime, and there’s a little dash of cop-moralizing in there.
[Batman #403]
Maybe more than a dash. I’m sure there’s an essay in me about these two panels, but it drives me crazy that these “good busts” are getting lamented when it sounds like part of the blame is being placed on… civil liberties? Police brutality is not a shortcut! Civil liberties and peoples’ rights are not roadblocks to cops, or at least they shouldn’t be viewed that way. They are things that protect us from systemic abuse and overreach of power. That’s part of what carves Batman out–he’s not systemic! He was not created by a government or a representative out of some social contract. He is not beholden to the same expectations and guidelines as the police. That’s part of the whole point!
Carma is a critique of an overzealous Batman, and how there are moral lines that Batman can’t cross. At the same time, they’re saying “if [Carma] hadn’t idolized you, he’d have made a fine cop.” Because he would have stayed in bounds? The cop Batman’s shaking down seems to regret that Carma was violent and disregarded procedure, but it’s just not clear if he hates that because Carma violated people’s rights, or just because it meant they couldn’t put the bad guy away. There’s a difference.
[Batman #403]
I don't really have anything to say here, other than that Bruce canonically talks to his car.
[Batman #403]
This is the end, and no notes. Just everyone read these two panels and burn them into your mind.
I’ll see folks next time for Year One!

When it comes to Earth 3 commissioners I always struggle. The most of famous of course being commissioner Thomas Wayne first seen during the JLA Earth 2 storyline, end although it led to two great moment with owlan and Batman in the story I feel like that as far as it can or should go.
Especially since a lot of Earth 3 as framed as mirrors to the main Earth. Owlman the greatest villain of Gotham and The Jester as the greatest hero of Gotham, a direct swap from one to another. So with crime boss James Gordon as the face of gotham's underworld I often wonder who should be considered the main universes face of gothams underworld and therefore commissioner on Earth 3.
My first thought and honestly favorite is The Penguin Oswald cobblepop, yes this is from watching too much of the TV show Gotham. But if I'm being even more honest it is simply because I love the phrase Commissioner Cobblepot. He fits the bill of the face of organised crime in Gotham, but he is not the only one.
Carmine Falconi definitely represents via classical mobster that got pushed out by supervillains in the main universe, so why not have him be retired commissioner now have to deal with super villains and the public outcry from the public with the heroes cleaning the streets more than the police. Or if we don't want him but want to keep it in the family Sofia Gigante was the police commissioner in the last Batman Flashpoint series.
Harvey Dent father used to be a police officer in a lot of continuities and he is framed as the opposite to Gordon at certain points like in the nomens land event. You could have him become cruel after the acid attack and even maybe replace the Two Face persona with The Judge from the animated series.
And finally the only one who has been commissioner technically at any point in the main universe Roman Sionis the Black Mask. During the events of Gothtopia when scarecrow released a chemical intimacity that made people delusional, happy and obedient like some sort of anti fear gas Romans Sionis became commissioner of Gotham police department. His particular brand of psychopathy and need for control does match a high up police official almost to a t and you could have him antagonizing and demonising in the press less anti-villain more anti-hero Catwoman.
There are some thoughts if you have any suggestions of your own or anything to add please feel free.

Library chat
Dick Grayson was not jealous
At 19 years old he was most definitely not jealous of whatever was happening in Barbara Gordon’s social life
He was just a concerned friend
A concerned friend who was also in need of a book from the library
He entered the Gotham Library and began scanning the shelves for....what book was it again?
“Can I help you?” Came a voice that caused him to jump. He turned to see none other than his red headed best friend
“Babs, didn’t think I’d see you here”
Barbara tilted her head “Really? At the library, where I work?”
He chuckled , his eyes taking in her appearance. She was wearing her glasses. Indicating she had been on the computer. Wearing her work uniform of khaki pants and a black collared shirt with the library’s logo in the corner. Her hair pulled back in a loose ponytail, a few strands hung loosely-framing her face. He couldn’t help but take notice of the pen that was clipped in the middle of her shirt where the three buttons rested. Two were buttoned, the pen weighing her shirt down exposing just a little bit of-
“Earth to Grayson.” Barbara’s voice cut in
Dick shook his head “Heh yeah guess you’re right. I need a book.”
Barbara nodded “A book. Care to elaborate Boy wonder?”
He smiled “School has me writing an essay on historic crime cases. I chose the D.B. Cooper Hijacking.”
Barbara nodded “Well for starters you are in the fictional romance section. Books on what you need at in the non fiction under crime.”
He smirked “Lead the way.” Dick waved his hands allowing Barbara to walk infront of him
“So ugh you liking this new job?” He asked as they walked across the library
Barbara nodded “I am, very relaxing. I feel like I’m useful.”
He smiled as he continued to walk behind her “Babs you are always useful.”
She looked over her shoulder to smile at him “Yeah but I mean in real life.”
He quirked an eyebrow “What we do at night isn’t real?”
Barbara shrugged “It is but it’s just....don’t you ever want to be useful as Dick Grayson instead of-“
Dick nodded “Of course why do you think I’m going into law enforcement?”
Barbara laughed lightly “Is that really much different than our night jobs?”
Dick shrugged “I’d like to think so.”
Barbara stopped in front of a shelf Dick was silent for a moment as she scanned the shelves
“So umm you still seeing that guy? Jackson Brod was it?” He asked
Barbara looked up, now holding a book “It’s Jason Bard and you know it. And. If you must know nothing is official yet we're still just talking” She passed the book to him
“This one is good for eye witness stories.”
He nodded holding the book “Okay, but Babs don’t you think it’s a little too soon? To move on to another guy?”
Barbara rose an eyebrow “Move on? From who?”
Dick shrugged “I- I don’t know I just. I don’t know if he has the right intentions you know. He’s a cop. On the same force as your dad and you’re the commissioners daughter. Your -“ he lowered his voice “Batgirl.”
Barbara smiled “He doesn’t know the later and Dad says he’s a really good Cop. So it’s not like he’s using me to work his way up.”
She leaned down, grabbing another book off the shelf and handing it to him “This book is amazing with its detailed information on multiple different theories and why people believe them.
Dick nodded, looking down at the books then setting them on the table next to him “So ugh any idea when he will ask you to make it official?” He asked
Barbara shook her head “where is all this going Dick?”
Dick shrugged his shoulders “a guy can’t make sure his childhood best friend isn’t being used?”
Barbara quirked her lip “I can take care of myself” she gave him a playful punch to the shoulder
He smiled rubbing the spot where she had touched “I know I just” he sighed “I don’t know. I miss you I guess. Between day jobs. And School. I feel like I only see you during our night duties. I don’t even always see you then and when I do it’s not like it’s us.”
She smiled “I miss you too. But Dick, we’re getting older. We knew this would happen”
He nodded “Yeah I umm you’re right. Maybe we can hang out? Tomorrow on your lunch break”
Barbara’s face dropped “I would but I’m actually meeting up with the male of your concern.”
Dick’s lips went flat “Right, well I better get going I Umm I’m meeting up with these girls for lunch-yeah. Two of them.”
Barbara furrowed her eyebrows “What about your books”
“Gotta go Babs, don’t wanna keep them waiting.”
With that he dashed out, leaving Barbara in confusion. She knew he probably wasn’t meeting 2 girls for lunch. That wasn’t like him. But what if he was? And if he needed these books so bad why did he leave them?
Barbara picked up the books. She’d check them out for him and bring to him on patrol next time she saw him.
But as she made her way to the desk she couldn’t help the unsettling thoughts that ran over her. What if Dick was having lunch with a girl? What if that’s what he came, to tell her- he was talking to a girl. He was always awkward around ladies. Despite his charming good looks when it came to being around a girl he liked he turned into a goofball. What if he had come to ask her advice?
Part of her thought she should ask him, but another, a much more overpowering part didn’t even want to know about a lady catching his eye. Having that feeling confused her to no end.

Batman's Mightiest Adventure (Movie Outline)
This is another outline for a movie set in the cinematic universe I've been plotting out, this one technically outside of the universe proper until the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, instead part of a series of animated films focused on more Golden Age heroes and villains.
The movie begins with our Batman and Robin, both very heavily based on Adam West and Burt Ward, in the middle of yet another battle with their villains. Likewise, these villains (Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, and the Riddler) are heavily based on their actors from the old show. The battle has a lot of comic flare in the sense of big animated POWS! and ridiculous bat-based weapons. In the end, Batman and Robin win, and the baddies get away.
The scene zooms out and we get to see a little imp from another dimension dressed in a Batman costume. He nerds out over Batman, using a remote to switch between various Batman universes. He does lament, however, that the universe he’d just been watching didn’t feature many of the later characters that appear in other worlds. Then he gets an idea (visualized by a literal lightbulb over his head).
We then cut back to our four villains sulking in their lair, annoyed by their latest loss and getting into interpersonal arguments because of it. A sudden burst of black smoke fills the lair, and a cloaked figure appears. This figure avoids giving his name, but tells them he wants to help them against Batman. He shows them a glimpse of all the other Batman universes, specifically scenes of all of Batman’s villains, from the Joker all the way down to Condiment King. He then uses his powers to bring them to life.
Batman and Robin are back at their mansion, having breakfast. Much like the Superman animated movie, I would like there to be a distinct visual difference to the characters (i.e. Clark had a scrawny nerd art design, but then Superman was the big top-heavy musclebound design with a big chin). For this distinction, I would like Bruce to have the snooty rich snob design to him, while Batman is a broody “L” type constantly in shadow. Likewise, Dick would have a teenage heartthrob vibe, while Robin would transform into a diminutive chibi-type. After a brief comedic scene between them, they get a call on the Bat Phone that the villains are up to no good again.
Our heroes rush to the bank where the villains are pulling off their heist. At first, they only see the main four again, and are taken by surprise by the army of other villains ambushing them. After a chaotic battle with lots of visual gags based on the various villains, Batman and Robin are defeated and retreat back to the Batcave.
As they are dramatically lamenting their loss, our imp appears, introducing himself as Bat-Mite, their biggest fan from the fourth dimension. He tells them he saw their last battle and says he wants to help. He shows them the same view of other universes, with hundreds of different Batmans, Robins, and other allies from all over the universe. Batman and Robin accepting his help, he brings them all to reality as well.
We cut back to city hall, where the Joker and his army of villains have the mayor, Commissioner Gordon, and everyone else important all tied up, and have a few deep-cut jokes between them all. The lights shut off, and Batman and Robin make a dramatic entrance, followed by their army of Batpeople. A war between the two sides ensues.
This war goes on for a while, with lots and lots of visual gags, but soon begins to spread its havoc over all of Gotham as the people flee in terror. Through all of this, we get the reveal of Bat-Mite and the mysterious figure being the hooded figure, and he laughs hysterically at the chaos, nerding out over all the different little battles going on.
Eventually, as Batman and the Joker are dueling in the middle of the city, they stop and notice all the carnage their war has caused on the city itself. They do a bunch of finger-pointing at each other until they both put together that they both received help from someone from an alternate dimension, and realize they’ve been played.
Bat-Mite is so busy having fun watching it all that he proves far too easy for Batman and the Joker to track down. The pair confront him and try to beat him, but he proves too slippery with his otherworldly powers. However, they notice he becomes annoyed whenever they act too friendly with each other, claiming it’s out of character. They then start going on a rampage of acting completely out of character, roping in the rest of their allies to act in ways they’d never act until finally Bat-Mite breaks down in a tantrum about them breaking canon. Batman and the Joker then point out that he broke it too. The little imp sheepishly admits defeat and zaps all the characters he summoned back to their own universes. He tries to ask for an autograph before everyone tells him to get lost.
The final scenes are narrated by Bat-Mite, lamenting that he lost but saying it was fun while it happened, watching with annoyance as the six characters left behind hang out at a diner after the battle. He clicks over to a different universe and notices slight cracks forming between those universes, asking if he did that.
What do you think? I thought utilizing Bat-Mite here might be a fun twist, and give some fun visual appeal, while also working in a bit of meta-humor about fans and fandom. Next up, we return to the main universe for "Son of Batman."

All-Stars -Story Mode- [REWRITTEN] Chapter 2 [Part 2]
Co-written by @sampoststuff
Had this schuduled for a release so enjoy this part!
Through and out of an alleyway as they survived the destruction that had been going on hours prior before them arriving. Shards of polygon crystal are scattered around and blood swept into the cracks on the sidewalk along with scattered bullet casings and abandoned police courses along with military vehicles as well. Whatever happened here had put up a good fight with these Hallows or Heart Eaters as the newspapers had dubbed them as.
Haru looked at the local florist store with plants that he had seen but found odd that they are not like the ones he had researched and gotten used to before, not even Earth’s leaves are glowing in this blackout city. “This is all too strange,” he spoke out in thought, “Their flowers are different from the ones we had gotten used to.” as he looked at the normal, crimson red roses as he held on gently as others looked around.
“Well, it’s nothing we can’t get used to. Besides, we won’t be here long, if these flowers scare you that is.” Quark tried to reassure Haru. “Nothing scares me, that’s for sure.” And immediately as he turned the conversation back onto him. A loud crash startled Qwark as he yelled at first before he laughed a little.
“Bentley, is there anything that could explain what happened here?” Carmelita asked, looking around the street, signs of struggle are present for them to see and tell a story of what happened here.
“Well, not exactly. The only thing we can go off of are the polygon crystals that are scattered about. They resemble the crystals that appeared when The Broken first appeared at the festival. But it’s unclear whether she’s here specifically. It may just be those Hallows or Grieves running around.” Bentley explained. “Yeah and Hallows had caused this much destruction?” Sly said as he gestures to the scene before them and the blackout with his hand. “Are there news reports on this that involve Hallows?”
“Well, based on the newspaper scatterings, they’re calling the Hallows ‘Heart Eaters’. They likely have been spreading around for a while. Hmm…” Bentley thought for a moment. “The Broken did merge two universes together. Maybe this is that merged universe?” He suggested. “It could be.” Lois answered with one of his ears folded down, “We all saw her do that.” He gestures down the street that has a statue of a man with an “S” symbol on his chest and cape, and lifts a planet with his bare hands that is in the center of central park amongst the trees and flowers blooming in the springtime.
“I guess that’s right.” Carmelita looked at the statue from afar, then looked over to Bentley with one thought in mind, “How did this blackout happen, Bentley?” she asked him.
Bentley looked around for a moment and then finally came up with an answer in mind that has tied to all of this. “My hypothesis is that the power was turned off when the universes collided. I mean, each universe may be running on vastly different power supplies. Plus there must’ve been a big surge of energy before the power turned off completely.”
“That might have explained why there’s no power right now.” Sly simply said as he looked at the buildings, the moon’s light is the only thing that “But the radios around here still work fine.” Sly had walked over and then picked up a radio that was lying with the shredded clothes of a local police officer while it was speaking.
“GCPD, call back to the station, few more breakouts happened and survivors’ safety is now the top priority, please respond.”
Another voice rang out, “This is Officer Brandon, I was on my way back when I saw what looked like a hive of bees attacking and…” Then the voice sounded panicked, “Oh god… They are heading towards me- AAAAAHHH-” Then the radio cuts off.
Another voice on the line spoke up, it sounded like an old man.
“It is Commissioner Gordon, Officer Bradon, pick up. Are you there? …Shit.” And then the radio cuts off again.
“They may be dealing with the Hallows.” Bentley said, somberly. “Should we try to find these officers?” He surprisingly suggested. Carmelita looked at him for a moment, “They are struggling to maintain control here and they were not prepared for this one. Some of us had to split into groups to do so.” She said as she looked at the group who were now looking at her.
“I can go.” Jak offered. “Anyone is welcome to join. Uh…” He looked over at Dan. “...Maybe you shouldn’t tag along actually, in case they start to attack you.” Dan nodded as he walked over to Jak.
“For my team I’m picking Ratchet, Clank, and Murrary!” Qwark said excitedly.
The Cathedral’s inhabitants’ turn to choose who they will team up with.
Brütal, Lois and Kin decided to team up with Qwark’s team, while Haru decided that he will go to Jak’s team. They all left at that as they split up in groups towards two different streets but they remain cautious due to the fact Hallows are on the streets all over New York.
Jak’s team headed for a street that looked gothic and dark, shadows looming over everyone. The buildings around them were bleak, to say the least. However, they stood out immensely. They noticed that they were nearing a cafe and a bar, with no power unfortunately.
“Hmm…” Haru looked around. “I’m not sure why or how, but the architecture reminds me of some of the buildings in The Cathedral. But, it’s…off.” as they walked across the street towards a bar. “It reminds me back home in Gallowmere,” Daniel answered, “But its theme had fit oddly well, even for a city.” as he looked around the area as Jak turned his head back to them.
“Something definitely seems off here, it’s like this town isn’t fit to live in, unless you’re careful.” Jak commented. Haru looked at the fruit stand as they walked by and kneeled down with a regretful look as his eyebrows furrowed. “Whoever owns this must’ve left in a hurry,” he said as he picked up an apple, “All they want is to sell fruit to the patrons.” as he wipes it a little on its crimson surface with his arm sleeve.
Daxter looked over his friend’s shoulder to say something but a shadow behind them just suddenly passed by fast as well as the strange buzzing sound. He gasped as his ears went downward, getting the others' attention.
“Everyone, watch yourselves. Something’s here.” Jak readied his blaster, in case something or someone was going to attack them. Another sound passed by them but it sounded much closer than it was earlier. “There it is again.” Haru uttered as he bent down and picked up a wrench off the ground as they all formed a circle.
The sound became louder as a minute passed by before it came right for them to turn and see what was causing them to turn and see a group- A group of what?
Bees.
Bees size of an average wolf with knight armor, four arms each of the five of them had sickle swords, shields, short spears and long swords as they float above with their wings beating per second.
“Bees!” Daxter and Haru cried out in shock as they looked at them. One of them lets out a buzzed version of the burgle before they charge at them, ready to attack.
Dan grabbed his sword and shield, blocking an attack from one of the bees that swung at him, slashing it with his sword where a gap in its armor was. The bee cried out, and Jak shot it in the face, helping Dan. Al-Zalam, peeking out from behind Dan as he fought, called out where the bees were coming from. Jak began firing his blaster at the bees that started to swarm them. Daxter began jumping obnoxiously on bee to bee, with hopes of making the bees attack one another with their swords and spears. Surprisingly, he managed to get three bees to swing at the other, to which Haru took the chance to swing at the bees while they were discombobulated with his wrench. Dan pushed the bees further back with his shield with one hand while engaging in a sword fight with another bee. Even with their efforts in fighting back, more bees started to appear from behind buildings and alleyways.
“There’s so many of them…!” Haru looked at them in shock as he held the wrench tightly in his paws.
“We need to retreat!” Jak yelled out, attempting to move back. “Everyone, retreat!” He motioned for his team to follow him. Dan pushed several bees back to allow everyone to move to Jak, and when it was clear enough, he ran to catch up with Jak, who was leading everyone down the road. Jak looked around as he ran, making sure no bees were coming from their left or right sides, but also looked for a place to hide. He spotted a more secluded, darkly covered alleyway that was slightly obstructed from view. “Over here!” Jak called out, as he made a dash, with everyone else following. They ran inside, Dan entering last, holding out his shield as he walked backwards slowly into the alleyway. Jak, who was further along, noticed that this alleway led to a small, square area, resembling a box arena. They listened intently, watching the alleyway entrance. The bees passed by the entrance one by one, until there were no more bees.
“...Looks like we lost them.” Jak said among the group. “Oh thank Fiji…” Haru muttered under his breath with his ears flopped while Dan sheathed his sword after breathing a sigh of relief. “Those bees are big…” Daxter looked back at the alleyway, “Good thing they’re not like the ones back home.” as he scratched his head a little.
“They’ll come at you out of nowhere.”
They all turned around in fear, raising their weapons at the person who spoke behind them, who stood in the middle of the open area. “Who are you?” Haru spoke up first on Jak’s behalf as the man had dress shoes, black jeans and a gray t-shirt with dog tags hanging on his neck, his black hair seemed to be mutton crop and ducktail compilation as he stood there with his blue eyes trained on them.
“And they’ll keep coming at you.” He said, not answering Haru’s question. “Especially if you stay in one place for too long.”
Jak stood in place as his feet were planted firmly on the ground, “You mean those Heart Eaters the papers mentioned?” he questioned firmly yet it wasn’t quiet but loud enough for the man to hear as he trained his eyes on the man shorter than him, five foot tall even as the stranger stood there, unfazed by this.
“Yes. They seem to know where everyone is. Or at least, they can tell where you are.” He stared at the group among him, noticing how distinctly different they all looked from one another. “All of you are clearly looking for something…or someone.” He commented. “Yeah,” Jak said in a sarcastic tone, “It was a special treasure to find.”
“Very funny.” He said unamused. “...You don’t have to tell me, it’s fine.” The man said, surprisingly calmer. “But I suggest you get somewhere safer. Or rather, don’t stay in one place for too long, given your group number.”
Daxter spoke up. “Listen pal, we had a rough night! Two of our teammates are missing and those bees are not helping us in any way.” He said as he pointed at the man before them, “And we don’t even want to be in this dump to begin with!” as he gestures all around them. “If you want to tangle with Orange Lightning, you're going to get it alright!” as Jak shushed him a little.
“I’d rather not waste my energy, if I can help it.” He said, pausing. “But I can guarantee you if we fight I wouldn’t lose.” He looked at them, and got in a defensive stance, and in a flash, he clenched his fists. Where dagger-like objects appeared out of his knuckles. Jak placed himself in front of Daxter, who’s mouth dropped at the sight, and walked closer to the man.
“You’re not going to lay a claw on him.” Jak glared.
“...I can see that.”
The man ran forward, and Jak aimed his blaster, immediately shooting at his body. The man reflected the blasts with ease with his claws. He swiped forward, but Jak dodged his attack, kicking him in his ankles before sliding underneath him. He tried shooting at him once more, but the man’s reflexes were greater, as he reflected the blast back to Jak, who luckily dodged it. He brought his fists down, attempting to pierce Jak, but had only cut through the ground, the claws digging into it. Jak took the chance to quickly lift himself up and kick the man in the face. He flinched, glaring daggers at Jak before quickly lifting his right hand from the ground, swinging at Jak. Jak barely dodged it in time, leaving one singular mark on his left arm. He hissed in pain, aiming his blaster. The man managed to get his left claw out from the ground, as he readied himself into a launching position.
However, a noise caught their attention.
Jak gasped as something sharp narrowly hit his hand, mainly his blaster, and ricocheted off to the man, who blocked it with his claw, looking down to see the metal object, noticing it was the shape of a bat. They both stopped to look at where it came from, seeing a figure from up high on the building.
“Enough!”
The figure called out, suddenly jumping down, his cape gilding him down easily. He landed in between them.
“...They’re telling the truth, they were looking for their two teammates earlier, and had spread out to cover more ground, you have no grounds to fight them.” He looked at the man, then over to Jak. “While you were protecting your friend, there’s no need to wander carelessly into a fight that needn’t occur.”
They both looked at the man, shrouded in darkness by his cape, his white eyes piercing through his mask with pointy ears. Everyone stared in awe, looking at him in both fear, but respect.
“Huh… Like our ruler.” Haru mumbled gently, before he then asked “Who are you?” as the figure looked them over.
“I am vengeance, I am the night.” He turned towards them. “I’m Batman. A vigilante hoping to help and protect Gotham City. The town that you’re in, is Gotham City.” He looked around, mainly towards the outside of the alleyway, where one stray bee stood for a moment, listening, until it ran off further down the street. “But it’s obvious that something happened to the city, maybe even outside the city, where strange creatures are coming suddenly.” He crossed his arms, looking at Jak and the man again. “The last thing we should do is fight amongst ourselves when we’re up against a greater foe.”
The buzzing was heard from afar as they all looked at the sky, “Come on.” Batman shouted as he pressed his hand hard on the cut on his left arm, gesturing towards an entrance to the sewer. Batman lifts the lid up and lets them all enter it one by one until he is the last to join them and closes the lid before they all run towards the first direction they could choose to get as far away from that entrance as possible.
“Again with the sewers again,” Daxter groaned as he held on tight on Jak’s right shoulder, “It feels like home almost.” as Dan was running next to them as Al-Zalam’s head poked out. “But it is a better tactic to run away from the bugs that turned deadly, now?” he spoke up as the man with the iron blade claws turned to look at them.
“Save the chit-chat for later, bub, Bat-freak’s got a point that I was saying the whole time.” he said as Batman interrupted them as he was running ahead of everyone. “Someone or something had merged our worlds together before you arrived, we need to know every detail on what was going on before it's too late.” as they ran deeper into the darkness ahead of them as footsteps echoed out.
On Nicholas’ side
The brown hedgehog’s heart was beating wildly in his chest, not because he was in a world that he could not recognize but he woke up with that wild heart beating when he woke up.
He walked down the empty street as he looked around at the buildings empty of light and some streaks of crimson red on the sidewalks, inside and on cars and city buses, on the walls and the pavement with ripped clothes strewn about near and inside the vehicles as it looked like a riot had broken out.
He rubbed his hands together as he walked down the street with his eyes scanning around his surroundings as his feet flew across the pavement.
“Oh man…I have no idea where I am…where did it send me?” Nicholas thought as he looked up at the buildings. He walked further into the torn streets that no doubt the mass had walked around when it happened but as he walked past by a dark alleyway as he turn his head towards the radio announcement as it was coming from the same public loudspeakers repeatedly; he failed to noticed that something inside the alleyway growled softly as its long tongue slithered out of the shadows before the figure climbs up the wall and onto the roof of a building to look down at his latest prey.
“This is bad, I have to find a way to get back to the Cathedral. But…we know little about that machine, or how it brings people back…” He thought to himself, working out several possibilities and solutions in his head. The being of black scanned at the hedgehog from the rooftops as he followed close to his tail, “Something besides a Heart Eater for once…” It purred gently as its mouth opened up to lick at the air, “They already got their food but they didn’t once try to share with us.” as it reached the last building where no more buildings are there due to the road going towards the left and the up to keep going just as Nicholas stopped to see the two paths.
“Hmm…which way should I go?” He looked down each pathway to see if there was anything to signify what way will be more fruitful to finding a way back home. As he looked around as the creature of black hangs off the building with one hand as his unnaturally, veiny, white eyes trained on him before jumping off the wall and towards a car in front of him to cushion his landing as the brown hedgehog jumped back in shock as the roof of the car caved in due to much force of a boulder.
“Yes…you shall do…” He looked down at the hedgehog, standing up straight. Nicholas froze, looking at this…creature was putting it lightly in his eyes. Easily, he had at least over a hundred pounds on Nicholas, and although he had a vague shape of a human, he was taller than what Nicholas was used to. At least, from what he saw from Dan, Qwark, and Jak, to a loose extent. He was sure that if he looked at his teeth long enough, it would cut him. The figure started to take a step towards Nicholas, and he somehow managed to take a step back despite his fear. Yet he still got closer to him. As Nicholas was walking backwards, he felt some loose debris touch his hand that rested on a car, and in a quick flash he threw it at the creature, and he wasted no time running away shortly afterwards, not daring to look back. The monster ran towards him before leaping towards him with his arms open to grab him as he did once turn and screamed before the unthinkable happened.
The monster grabbed something as a tiny flash of blue light had occurred with a low level mist and then it smiled to look his victim in the eye but much to his shock, he was holding a body of a Hollow that was scattered a while ago.
His eyes grew wide at this bombshell as he looked at it before looking down at the ground to see footprints behind him from where the spot the hedgehog was running and turned to a panting Nicholas with his hands on his knees as if he had ran a mile or two before turning back and in awe, he was far from the creature just a street away from in as the monster stared back at him in equal bewilderment.
“Just what is that?” He whispered to himself in fear, as he attempted to catch his breath and started to run again. The monster in black growled before running towards him at full speed again before Nicholas began to notice his quills are… Glowing blue? And then streaks of electricity popping out of him!?
He was exclaiming in unease before he ran so fast that he got out of the way in time for the creature to watch him run around, stumbling a little bit before he stopped at the end of the street. A bolt out of the blue as his eyes grew wide at this hedgehog who is bit in a whammy himself.
“What…is happening to me?” He asked, mainly out of fear, but a hint of curiosity was laced within his voice. He looked at his body, still seeing the blue light surrounding him as it reflected across the ground. He looked at a building mirror, and saw how he looked. “Woah…I’m…I turned! I changed!” He looked back at the monster, who he could tell was glaring at him, dead set on catching him.
The beast settled his hands on the pavement with his frown now pointing downward with a growl, Nicholas gulped for a moment as the black-clouded creature licked his lips with his own long tongue before swiping his right foot back, kicking up as few pebbles front he sidewalk concrete and pavement as they both locked eyes at each other.
The monster then lets out a battle cry before running across the road towards which Nicholas reacted quickly as his eyes changed from green to blue as they glowed in the dark before he ran away from the spot he stood as the monster only crashed into the car that the hedgehog was in front of.
Woo!
Oh, yeah!
Nicholas is running for dear life now that speed is on his side with his heart beating inside his chest as he turns to see the monster hopping onto buildings and then swinging towards him with what appears to be rope coming off its wrists.
Rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go
Gotta follow my rainbow
Nicholas watched his movements for a moment, so he could anticipate what he was going to do. The monster attempted to jump down onto Nicholas when he thought he had the opportunity to catch him, but quickly Nicholas ran to the side up the building instinctively, dodging his attack.
Can't stick around, gotta to keep movin' on
Guess what lies ahead
Only one way to find out
He looked down once and then regretted instantly because not only he was terrified of heights but the monster was jumping from where he missed before using webs to slingshot him upward a bit before using both hands and feet to climb up to catch up to the runaway hedgehog Further.
Must keep on movin' ahead
No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
Trusting in what you can't see
Take my lead, I'll set you free
He jumped back onto the ground, mostly out of fear, back onto the road. It was then that he noticed that there were several cars and a big truck blocking his path, and he managed to somehow jump in the air twice as he ran, avoiding the debris and truck. The monster had hopped over the debris as well, already angry that his snack was resistenting him before turning towards an eighteen wheeler and then shot two webs at it and began to pull with all the strength he had as Nicholas backed up a little from this.
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
The eighteen wheeled truck began to quickly move from its place before the beast hopped up top onto it as it was aimed directly at Nicholas who was exclaiming in fear as he back up before looking behind him: behind was a very steep hill that goes all the way down before turning back to his attacker as the truck is gaining speed, the intent on making him into roadkill.
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
Nicholas’ eyes glowed blue as his quills charged up again before turning then ran for his life on the downhill slope as the eighteen wheeler was burrowing down behind him uncontrollably.
Oh, yeah!
Danger is lurking around every turn
Trust your feelings
You've got to live and learn
He didn’t have to look behind him to know that the truck was much closer than he wanted it to be. Nicholas continued to run, feeling himself sprinting faster than he was already used to. Suddenly, he found himself rolling into a ball, still managing to dodge a few specks of debris and cars that laid sporadically across the street.
I know with some luck that I'll make it through
Got no other options
Only one thing to do
The truck was still on him as it plowed through them with no issues, “You will be ours!” The monster roared out loud as it was still holding on from the truck but using web strings, he was able to grab and then threw the debris at the speeding hedgehog in an attempt to slow down just enough to be run over.
I don't care what lies ahead
No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
Find that next stage no matter what that may be
Take my lead, I'll set you free
Nicholas listened to gauge where the objects were coming from, and quickly dodged what the monster was throwing at him. The monster threw several cars in succession as Nicholas dodged them barely by the skin of his teeth. Repeatedly he was telling himself to not turn around, fearing that all of his running abilities would suddenly disappear.
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I'll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
He then managed to get down the hill safely before dodging the truck with the monster on as they crashed right into a bank as he ran away. But the monster had hopped out of the hole he had made and then jumped towards him, back on hot pursuit as Nicholas turned around to see him for just a moment before he ended up in a big crevice in the middle of the road, falling down. Catching Nicholas offguard, the monster jumps in front of him, and starts shooting his webs at Nicholas.
He at first dodged one, but then got a sudden idea, and he caught the second web in his hands, and began to quickly run around him. The monster yelled in frustration as he continued to shoot webs at Nicholas, but he couldn’t tell if he was even hitting him at all. Suddenly, he realized that he was being trapped by his own webs, and before he could even tear them away, his arms had already been tied up. Nicholas ran several more times around him, before dashing in one other direction, successfully launching the monster into the sky.
Nicholas dusted off his hands, and got out of the crevice, just in time to see the monster falling into a river.
I'll make it through, prove it to you
Follow me!
Follow me!
I'll make it through, oh, yeah!
Woo!
“WOO!” Nicholas cheered, jumping in the air and pumping his fists. “Let’s just hope he stays away next time. Not that there will be a next time that is.” He shrugged to himself. He looks around the area before his ear twitches to hear noise from the sky.
He looked up to see an old cropdust plane flew across the nighttime sky and circled back around before descending down gently onto the road road as a runway as it sputters a little and then stopping just mere 3 minutes away from him. Then out from the pilot seat was Tails with a smile on his face as he landed on the ground.
“Nicholas!” He said as he ran towards him as he held his yellow and black backpack as he was excited. “There you are! I thought you were a goner for sure!” Before stopping in his place, the hedgehog was a little taller than the two-tailed fox before him.
“Hey Tails! Glad to see you’re okay as well.” He looked back at the river briefly before looking back at Tails. “Believe me, I thought I was a goner too.”
“And second thing that I can’t believe after arriving here, you were the fastest one alive! You were able to avoid Venom and didn’t end up being his late-night snack for the night, you were amazing!” Tails commented as he held out his hands to the brown hedgehog as he looked at him.
“The heck is a ‘Venom’? Also, how did you get here in the first place?”
Tails looked at Nicholas for a moment and then took off his backpack and then sets it on the ground for a moment, “Well, the same thing as Icefir and the whole group had,” he said as he pulled out the yellow and black mobile screen with a handle attached to it on the side of it,
“Icefir just went nuts, nuts enough to jump into the portal to find you and Captain Qwark, as I knew, won’t let me since I was a kid but I had to wait until after they all jumped in to go after. And where I ended up was an old air base with a crop duster plane. I am amazed that the inhabitants of this dimension didn’t rely on dragons for transport and farming.” he continued as he turned it on as the green lines were over the darker shade of green on the screen.
“Oh…oh man.” Nicholas thought for a moment. “I mean, the whole point of me jumping in front of her was to make sure nothing happened. Gosh, I hope she’s okay.” He looked down after a bit, kicking a loose pebble on the ground.
“And that ‘Venom’ part of your question you’d mentioned;” he said as he pulls up the profile of the person for Nicholas to see and saw that it was the same creature that tried to eat him before much more seeable in light as it had a big white spider on his chest and its legs across his shoulders and sides. “This monster was and still is a human named Eddie Brock, and the suit he was wearing was a living alien called a symbiote. It was in the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division’s database after it became known.”
“Eww.” Nicholas said after a moment. “Well, he better get that Venom under control, I think it wanted to eat me, like I’m a hundred percent sure.”
“Oh, he does, like how he bites off the heads of his victims.” Tails said lightly as he rubbed the back of his head a little with an awkward smile. Nicholas looked a bit sick by this before shaking his head at this.
“A-Anyway…what’s the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division?” Nicholas asked, doing a couple of quick stretches with his legs, realizing they were somewhat worn out. Tails nodded as he pressed a few buttons on his device before showing it to Nicholas once again.
Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division’s first letters were taken off of their respective words as they all together formed one simple word:
S.H.I.E.L.D
“It was short for S.H.I.E.L.D, it was run by a director named ‘Nick Fury,” Tails said as he pulled the screen back to him and then looked at it more with more button pressing. “An elite team of agents investigates strange occurrences worldwide. Its members work together to protect those who cannot protect themselves from extraordinary and inconceivable threats, including Hydra, a formidable group from this world’s 1940’s, it seems like it was still operating, even after Steve Rogers defeated the Red Skull.”
“Ah, I getcha. You think we’ll run into any of those guys from S.H.I.E.L.D?”
“It is likely, as long as we-” Tail was beginning to say before a screech was heard from behind Tails, he turned to see Hallows, a pack of them surrounding them so reaching the plane wasn’t an option before Nicholas turned his head to see more coming at them from the river’s stone walls as Tails picked his backpack up and held it tightly as they are back to back.
Hallows crickets softly as they circled them around.
“Got any ideas how we get out?” Nicholas asked.
“I’m working on i-” Tails began, but strained his ears, and Nicholas did the same when he realized that Tails stopped talking. The Hallows slowly stopped walking towards them, as they heard the sound too. Simultaneously, they looked up at the sky, and noticed a large aircraft lowering down. Tails mouth grew agape, while Nicholas started to cover his mouth in fear of the ever growing wind from the blades launching dirt into his mouth. The Hallows started to screech at the aircraft, some began to try to launch themseves onto it, while those farther away were hesitant, debating whether to choose between Nicholas and Tails or the aircraft.
“...If this day gets any weirder, I may have to scream.” Nicholas said to Tails after a moment. As search lights beamed down onto the duo, nearly blinding them from the sudden flash as the Hallows were screeching. The flash of light fell directly onto them, but when it did, it felt more than just a flash of light, as their surroundings felt dense, but light. Marginally, they were lifted off the ground.
“YEP, that’ll do it.” Nicholas looked at Tails, and suddenly they were lifted quickly into the air, screaming.
Next thing they knew, they were dropped onto the bridge of the aircraft inside, guns cocking back and aimed at them both as they recovered to realize that they are not near the river anymore before a voice called out.
“Weapons down.”
Nicholas and Tails watched as a man of african descent wearing a dark trench coat and then standing in front of them, in the dim light of where they were in, he was wearing an eyepatch as he spoke “We have a lot to talk about.” as he looked them down.
“...Uh, okay?” Nicholas began. “Guess this could be that guy, Tails.” He whispered to an astonished, star-eyed Tails, who was looking eagerly around the room.
