GothamRobinson ParkDick watched as the riot unfolded into chaos on a livestream that one of the original demonstrators was brave enough to broadcast as the Purifiers came onto the scene. He winced when he saw Kate get punched in the face. That was gonna hurt.
"Thomas is sooo going to lecture her about that." Her recovery was smooth. The catching of the bat and quickly turning things on three adversaries. But that wouldn't last long with the cowardly antics of the anti-mutant group. Anger filled him as he saw one of them pull out a pistol. They were really planning to kill unarmed college students. Even with the Queen of Insanity locked away in Arkham Gotham was still clearly filled with darkness.
"Alfred.""We'll be arriving soon, Master Richard. They'll be okay. We'll make sure of it." Alfred answered, already aware of what was on the young boy's mind.
Dick tapped impatiently on the door panel as he continued to watch the broadcast with building anxiety.
Robin perched on a lamp post in the park, using the chaos to hide his arrival. The Purifiers had something like that in that arsenal? He was glad that they didn't use it on the students that they attacked. It was no coincidence that they only brought it out once Batman arrived on the scene. This felt like a trap for Batman and the demonstrators were the bait to bring him in. These dumb hicks weren't smart or resourced enough to come up with a plan like this on their own. Someone must've orchestrated this.
A frighteningly devious
laugh echoed through the park catching the attention of everyone who remained, but no one could originate the source. Not that they'd catch him there if they did. As soon as he laughed he flipped off the lamp post landing on the head of the mech. He placed two sticky bird bombs on the helm and tossed another sticky one inside of its maw before backflipping off the mech and running to avoid the incoming blasts and retaliatory attacks.
"Boom." He said with a smirk as the bombs exploded simultaneously creating a veil of smoke where the bombs used to be.
"Robin reporting for duty." He said while pressing his communicator.
"Any ideas on how to take this thing down, Batman?"
GothamGotham AcademyThe Detective Club walked through the eerie labyrinth of a basement searching for any sign of the ghost of Greta Hayes or her final resting place. So far all they could find were dust bunnies, spider-webs, cobwebs, and the occasional rat. Maps was leading the group through the disorienting underground network of tunnels and rooms, but they seemed to not be going anywhere. Colton was starting to get annoyed and was beginning to doubt this rumor was even true. More than that he was pretty sure that they were lost.
Colton couldn't hold his thoughts any longer and let them burst free.
"I swear if I see another rat I am out of here. We've been walking for forever and haven't found anything. Are you sure we aren't lost?""There's a reason she's called Maps. She never gets lost." Olive replied in defense of her friend's leadership.
"No offense but people have nicknames all the time that don't hold up. I swear we've been in this room already.""We're not lost." Maps finally added.
"We'd have to know where we're supposed to go to be lost. I've been mapping every room we've gone through in my mind for later adventures.""She's right." Kyle said in support of his sister.
"We don't even know if the rumor is true or if her body's even buried somewhere on campus. Billy's a lot of things, but he's not that dumb.""No, he's that dumb." Pomeline retorted.
"So you all essentially kidnapped me and haven't actually investigated these rumors before now. Some detectives you are... You know what we should be investigating? The Batwitch of Old Gotham. I didn't even know the Batfamily did magic.""As much as I hate to, I agree with Colton. I want to learn from her.""The Bats don't have a witch on their team. I'm pretty sure she's a solo act. She may be cool, but how are we supposed to sneak out and get to Old Gotham without a car?"Colton almost revealed that he knew how to hotwire a car, but then they'd kidnap him for sure just to drag him to get cast under some crazy woman's spell. He silently turned around to begin heading back where they came, but something stopped him from moving forward. He was frozen with fear.
"G-g---.""What are you trying to say?" Kyle asked as he turned around.
"Ghost!!"Maps, Pomeline, and Olive turned around in unison to see a spectral figure of a girl floating in the air in front of them. She hovered above them in almost transparent form surrounded by smoky mist the same ghostly beige as she was.
"You can see me? You can see me!"
