It was twilight hours in Gotham and everything was quiet so far. Scootaloo was sitting on the couch in the living room in Wayne Manor, whatching the flat screen TV above the fireplace, scrolling through the channels, while Bruce was sitting in a chair reading a newspaper and Alfred preparing dinner. He was making French onion soup tonight, one of Scootaloo's favorite foods in the human world, she started eating meat not to long ago because she was curious about what it tasted like.
Scootaloo had the same facial expression she uses in school during a lesson. "Oh, I'm so bored." she groaned.
Bruce looked at her "There's always reading."
Scootaloo looked at him, still keeping her bored facial exression "No thank you." she scrolled through the channels until she came to the Gotham Gazzete.
"Now, back to our top story." said Vickie Vale "There has been a break in last night in the Gotham City Bank."
That immediately caught Bruce's attention and he looked at the TV.
"Eighty million dollars was stolen from a high Tech vault, made by Wayne Enterprises, and trajecly, Robert Thomson, the bank manager, was killed by the culprits."
Scootaloo turned off the TV and looked at Bruce "Looks like we got another job to do."
Bruce and Scoots then made there way down into the Batcave and made their way to their suits in a glass box next to the Batcomputer.
Now changed, they make their way into the Batmobile. Batman flipped a switch to put the atomic batteries to power and another to put the turbines to speed. VROOM!!!
They later arrived at the bank to see police cars there and police tape at the entrance. Batman lifted the tape over his head as he and Robin walked in to find a few police officers, Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock, and Renee Montoya.
Gordon noticed the Dynamic Duo walk in. "I thought you might show."
"Have you found anything?" Batman asked in his stoic manner that he always speaks in.
"We were about to get started."
They noticed Montoya walk up to them "Hey, never got to say thanks for saving my life." she then looked at Robin "So, you're the new kid. I'm detective Renee Montoya." she offered a hand.
Robin accepted the handshake "Nice to meet you."
They then walked over to a body on the ground with a blanket over it. Batman lifted the blanket to see lifeless man with blood behind his head. He lifted his head up to see a bullet hole.
"Cause of death was a shot to the back of the head." he then saw bruses on the man's face "He was beaten. Probably to make him tell them the code to the vault."
Batman and Robin then turned on evidence scanner, in their lenses, and replayed what happened by showing slender computer generated figures.
The scanners showed the door being kicked open by a buff figure and six figures ran in, four carrying guns and one being held like a hostage.
"The door was kicked open by someone with enough strength to do so, then five people came in with a hostage." Batman stated. The hostage figure was then pushed to the vault. "The hostage was Robert Thomson." Robert typed the codes on the key pad and the vault slid open. BANG A bullet came in the back of the head, making him fall dead. "He was then shot, the bullet came from one of the men."
The figures then walked in and were emptying the vault. Batman was looking to see if any of them left a finger print behind. He kept looking until he found a finger print on One of the metal drawers of the vault.
"The men were wearing gloves. One of them had a hole in his glove and left a finger print here." a loading line then appeared under a word 'scanning' until it said 'complete'. A file then appeared.
"His name is Eliot Ford. Reports say he was arrested multiple times for drug dealing and many break ins. His file says he likes to go to a club called 'Night Shine'."
"Well, looks like we should pay him a visit." Robin said as she and Batman turned off their evidence scanners.
"I'll send someone over." Gordon said.
"Don't need to." Batman said as he and Robin turned to leave.
They arrived at the club and looked through a ceiling window. There was a dance floor, flashing lights, and people dancing to dubstep music.
At a table was Eliot. "Hey doll, get me another drink will ya?"
CRASH
The sound of glass breaking was heard as Batman and Robin landed on the table. Batman toward over a frightened Eliot.
"Eliot. We need to talk." he said, his voice like venom.
Little did they know that one man was sneaking behind them and was slowly pulling out his gun, but Robin noticed and used a batarang to knock it out of his hand. They turned back to the direction of Eliot, but they found an empty chair.
SHUT
Eliot was panting as he ran down the sidewalk and into an alley, only for Batman to be there. He spun around, but Robin was in front of him. "Going somewhere?"
Eliot then felt a claw grab the back of his shirt and was yanked backwards, then spun around to face the dark knight, who grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"The robery at the Gotham Bank. Who hired you?!" Batman spoke in a volcanic voice.
"Uh...no one. That was our own gig." Eliot lied, hoping Batman would buy it. He didn't.
He then noticed Batman pull out some kind of gun and pointed it upwards and it fired out a line.
"Wait...what are you-AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" he screamed as he was zipped into the air and landed on a food's edge. He turned around as Batman held him by the collar of his shirt, leaning him back. "No! Please! Don't drop me!!"
"Then answer me. Who's your boss?!" Batman said, losing patiance.
"I can't tell you! He'll kill me!"
"Then I'll do worse then that." Batman growled.
Eliot couldn't take it anymore "Alright! It was Scarface! Scarface! He's at the warehouse district! Warehouse eighth four!"
"Thank you." Batman said in a non happy tone as he let goed of Eliot.
"No! No!" he yelled as he was leaning bacwards. Then fell off the edge. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" he was just a few feet above the ground as he suddenly stopped falling, thanks to a line on his legs.
Batman then jumped down, stretching his cape, giving him a soft landing.
Batman then pushed a button on his gauntlet and in a few moments, he and Robin heard the engin of the Batmobile as it drove into the alley with them jumping inside it, then driving off.
They soon arrived at the district and snuck through a window and hid behind some crates. They saw four men dressed in black suits and fedoras, they looked like 1920s gangsters. One of them was a buff man with a rhino sewn into the shoulder.
"Hey Wesker." the buff man called. A man, who appeared to be in his late forties or early fifties, walked through a door. He wore a white buttoned shirt, brown pants, black leather shoes, a brown suit jacket, a red tie, and some glasses. He also had white hair and a bald spot on top of his head. "Get the boss."
"Um...of course." Wesker said meekly. His meek nature reminded Robin of Fluttershy.
He then walked up a stair case to a door.
"Dummy! I told ya not to disturb my geauty sleep! I'm tryin' to get some shut eye!" An Al Capone like voice said.
"Sorry, Mr. Scarface. The men wanted to speak with you."
"Aright, aright. Take me down there. Careful not to drop me, if you do yer a dead man."
The man then came down and he looked like he was holding something. Once he came down the stairs, he revealed he was carrying a wooden dummy with a scar on it's left side of the face. It wore a dark blue suit, black shoes, and a grey fedora. It carried a Tommy gun in it's right hand and a cigar in it's mouth.
"Aright you louses. Getter have a good reason to wake me."
Robin was surprised by the puppet. She thought Scarface was a person, not a dummy. She did see the Scarface dummy in the trophy room at the Batcave, but always thought it was a model of a real gangster.
The buff man approached the dummy "Eliot just left the gang."
"Oh he did, did he? He thought he could gack out in this gang. Thought he can get away with it Scott free?" Scarface said.
"What do we do about it boss?" asked the buff man.
"Well Rhino. We gotta make sure no one gacks out of dis gang and stays healthy. Looks like we sould, take him out."
"Take him out? You mean kill him? Mr. Scarface, please give him another chance?" Wesker, known by many as The Ventriloquist, pleaded.
Scarface looked at him "Dummy, hold my hat will ya?"
"Of course sir." Ventriloquist obeyed, only to get headbutted by the dummy. "OW!"
"Dere, anythin' else ya like to argue wit' me about?" Scarface asked with a venomous voice.
Ventriloquist shook his head as he put the hat back on Scarface's head "No sir."
"Good. Now, yous gonna go get Elly, gring 'im gack here, Rhino you knock 'is glock off repeatedly, make sure you get da face, and I waste 'im. Ya got that dummies?" Scarface instructed, receiving nods from his men.
"Are you ready?" Batman asked Robin.
"I was born ready." Robin said as Batman fired his batclaw at one of the thugs, yanking him over as Robin threw a fist to his face, putting him in an unconscious state. The gang quickly took notice of this.
"Well looks what we got here goys." Scarface said "We got a Gat and a gird. Get 'em."
One thug ran up to them at full speed, but Batman grabbed him by the arm and brought him to the floor, hard.
One thug tried to punch Robin but she blocked it, then smashed her fist into his face and kickeing him backwards. She then fired her grapple gun at him and swung him over to Batman "Here you go boss."
He ran into Batman's fist, putting him to the floor as Batman brought his foot to his face, knocking him out. All that was left was Rhino.
Rhino charged at the duo, but they flipped over him landing on their feet. Robin brought a jump kick to his back, but wasn't enough to bring him down. He turned around and received fists to the stomach, but was taking every punch.
Robin looked up to see that her attack wasn't working. She gave a nervous chuckle before Rhino punched her in the face, making her stumble backwards and giving her a bloody nose, but she was able to stay in the fight.
"We'll have to attack him together. Perform a team takedown on him." Batman stated.
"Sure thing." Robin said as she wiped the blood from her nose.
Batman then made a sprint towards Rhino as he tried to throw a punch, but he ducked and punched him in the chest, didn't hurt him too much, but he stumbled backwards as he was then met with a kick to the face from Robin.
He groaned as he opened his eyes to see The Dark Knight and The Girl Wonder give a jump kick to the chest, making him fall into a pile of crates.
"Yes." Robin said with a sense of victory.
"I can't gelieve it!" Scarface angrily exclaimed "Dese louses are freakin' useless. Useless! Aright. If ya want somethin' done right, ya gotta do it yer self." he then opened fire with his Tommy gun.
The Dynamic Duo quickly sprinted behind a few crates as bullets were being sprayed at them. Batman pulled a batarang from his belt and threw it at Scarface's hand, choping it off.
"*gasp* I'm hit!" his head then fell off from a batarang.
"Mr. Scarface!" The Ventriloquist exclaimed, worriedly.
"C'mon! Don't just stand dere! Help me, goddammit!"
Wesker was about to pick up Scarface's head until he saw Batman tower over him, making him cower.
"A right! C'mon let's dance! You an' me Gatman and Rogin!" he was then silenced as Robin found some dukt tape and put it over his mouth.
"So, is Scarface really alive or is Wesker the real mastermind?" Robin asked Batman.
"Neither. Ventriloquest has a split personality disorder. One side of him is meek and the other side is ruthless. The ruthless side is shown through the Scarface dummy and Wesker's unaware of his split personality." Batman explained.
"Huh. First people in black masks, then killer clowns, and now a guy who doesn't know he has a split personality. What else do you have? A crocodile man who lives in the sewers?" Robin rhetorically asked.
Batman slightly smirked.
"Wait, there's really a crocodile man?"
