Batman slowed down as the jet was already on its' final approach to what was apparently a giant alien robot hovering over Metropolis. It had taken the craft's top speed to get there this quickly from when the satellite had detected the thing's initial approach, but it was worth it to get some first hand data on yet another invading alien. It seemed like there was one every few weeks, and these days not just in Metropolis either.

On the bright side, he noticed Madison's mood seemed to have recovered since the incident at the rooftop, so at least he wouldn't have to deal with a sullen sidekick the whole time. He'd really forgotten what it was like to have a Robin around. He'd probably have to start making some concessions. Speaking of which...

"There's a jetpack and a helmet under your seat. You should already know the control setup. Use it at your own discretion...although I recommend at least waiting for the canopy to open." 

That should cheer her up. Everyone liked jetpacks, especially kids. Although the truth was he'd packed them and a few other things because the plane tended to get shot down in these scenarios and a slow fall with a parachute left too much exposure time. With that done he cycled through a few of the aircraft's different payloads, selected and fired. Missiles streaked toward the giant robot with a dual purpose in mind as the Bat-Wing decloaked in front of the alien craft. He wasn't sure if they would do much damage, but their primary purpose was that they were also loaded with enough probes and sensors of every kind to hopefully give them some data on what the robot actually was or how it protected itself. Or at least that's what Batman hoped.

"We're running interference here until the bigger guns arrive. Once they do or we get shot down, I [i]expect[/i] you to mainly focus on evacuating civilians to safety."

The helicopter that was already plummeting as they showed up would have been his first concern normally, but this was Metropolis.
