[WP] Having failed in every attempt to kill Batman, the villains of Gotham had given up. With nothing to do, they started a D & D group and had been meeting for several weeks in the back room of a local Tavern. Things take a turn when the owner, Mr. Bruce Wayne, asks if he may join their game

PART 3

(Selina)

“Oh no… he’s here!” Penguin said.

“Darn it! He’s going to ruin game night!” cried Enigma.

The others went into panic. The Joker let go of me and began to laugh like a madman.

Slade was the one who recovered the quickest from the group. “Everyone quick! The Bat’s going to come here and we’re all together. It’s six against one so we can take him out once and for all! There’s no way he can beat us if we stick as a group!”

Excellent. They still don’t think I’m a threat. Everyone’s attention was elsewhere but without the light, no-one could see a thing… other than me of course. I waited. Something flew in from the window and smoke began to fill the already dark room making it even harder to see. I started to hear grunts and sounds of punches being thrown.

I grabbed Bruce and walked him to the side of the room and saw a masked figure attacking everyone simultaneously. He was incredibly fast. He used his cape to trick his opponents and hide where his body actually is so it was impossible to hit him. Riddler, Penguin and Mr Freeze were already unconscious. Without their gadgets they didn’t stand a chance. Joker had pulled out a knife and was slashing at Batman whilst Deathstroke unleashed a volley of punches and kicks. Even without his gadgets he is still a ruthless mercenary.

Batman jumped backwards, avoiding the knife. Then, using a grapple gun, he shot himself up to the ceiling, making it impossible for the others to hit him. He then used his notorious Batarangs to disarm the Joker and disable Deathstroke. He managed to somehow grab the joker and leave him hanging from the ceiling whilst Deathstroke cried in pain from the Batarang attacks. He quickly then finished off Deathstroke, leaving him unconscious lying on the ground.

Silence.

He hit a button from his tool belt and light shone out from it.

“Are you alright Mr Wayne?”

“Yes, yes… thank you for saving us Batman.” Bruce replied.

“There was an explosion at the Gotham Police Station so there was no way for anyone else to get here. I’ll make sure they all get taken back to Arkham.”

“No Batman, I don’t think that will be necessary. Joker was the only one causing trouble here… the rest were being quite civilized actually. Game night I think.”

“Hahahahhaha are you gonna take me back to the mad house Bats? Why don’t you join me? We’ll have a blaaaaast… hahahhahahahahhaha!” Joker laughed.

“You’ll pay for your crimes Joker. We’ll see if you laugh after.”

The Joker continued to laugh.

“Batman, I’d like to thank you for saving us as well. My name is Selina, Selina Kyle. Do you think you could get us out of here? I’m not sure if it’s safe to walk through the other room.” I said.

“Of course Miss Kyle.”

(Bruce)

Later, in the Batcave

“That was quick thinking Dick. It was smart of you to put on the bat-suit and save us. Now they won’t suspect a thing.” I said. “How did you manage to find us anyway?”

“Oh well, Alfred told me where you had gone and I knew that’s where Penguin and his friends play every week so I figured I’d hang around the area in case something happens. Then Oracle gave me a call telling me the Batwave was ringing. When I got there, I saw that the bar was filled with Joker’s gas so I had to use the back and that’s when I found you.”

“Good job Nightwing. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like my suit back.”
