Gotham City- 2100

"Everyone has a choice. I made mine and you've made yours.", Batman says. "What draws loons to this town is people like you who want to run around and control the city. And even if I were to create an enemy, the least I can do and what I always aim for is to continue my work. And put people like you in bars, Heathe. If that's even your real name."

"Well, you ARE the world's greatest detective. But you're wrong about one thing. I don't want to control this city. See...I only want one thing. I just want to have a little...fun. So, detective...you want to put me behind bars? Funny. I figured you'd maybe want to stop these civilians from being all over the docks. Or maybe you want to stop that criminal uprising over at Arkham? Hey, maybe you'll even try to save your precious mini-me? Like I said before, Batman...only you have the answer."

He then flips his rifle power pistols in his hands and shoots at Batman's feet multiple times as he backs through the door.

Batman moves back and throws several sonic boosted batarangs at The Clue while calling Bat-Girl. "Are you alright?", he asks into the intercom.

Clue instinctively shoots every batarang out of the air. "Sorry, Dark Knight. I'm every bit as good as you are. Maybe next time." He then leaves.

"Derek, Lorelei's vitals are low. The readings I'm getting from her suit indicate that she was drugged," Oracle says over the intercom. "I'm getting footage on Arkham too. It doesn't look like the villains are coordinating this. It's more like something's freaked them out or driven them into some sort of rage. Based on YOUR suit, there are several explosives in that warehouse with you and the hostages. Not sure when they're going to go off, get out of there first. Lorelei is fine at the moment."

Batman looks down and then clears the hostages out and calls the police. He heads out to get Lorelei.

"I'm sure I don't need to upload this one. She's in the Batman Museum," Oracle says.

From a far off building from the museum, Clue watches as Bat-Girl stirs from the scope lens of his sniper rifle and sees Batman drawing closer.

"How the hell did they even drug her.", Batman says. He stops suddenly and looks around. He disappears from Clue's sight.

Clue watches as Bat-Girl nears the exit of the museum. "That's it, just a bit closer and..." He then presses a button and two explosions detonate, one in the museum and one much larger at Arkham. The museum explosion's beep doesn't go unnoticed, however, and Bat-Girl manages to get outside of lethal range, only being thrown across the street the the force of the blast. Clue then gets up and disappears.

Batman catches Lorelei in his arms and turns around, shielding them with his cape from the explosion.

"Note to self," Bat-Girl says through a cough. "Remember to look up. Did you get all of the civilians out?"

"Yes. They're safe.", Batman says and then sees the Bat-mobile slowly descend just a few feet away from them. "Was it gas?"

"Yeah...caught me by surprise. Must have had a few of his goons do the dirty work."

"Derek, the riot in Arkham just got organized. Don't ask how because I don't know but several criminals are killing security and overthrowing the place. I'm willing to bet that your buddy is over there," Oracle says over the intercom."

"Batman, what's going on? Who's doing all this?" Bat-Girl asks.

(Gotta get going. See ya later)

"I'll tell you on the way.", Batman says and gets her over to the transport, handing her a oxygen tank.

(alright)

"I'll be all right," Bat-Girl says, getting in.

Batman looks at her. "Right.", he says and brings out a small gun like device. "This might sting", he says and pushes it against her neck quickly taking a blood sample, analyzing it while getting in.

Bat-Girl rubs her neck a bit. "So what's the deal with the bad guy?"

Batman tells her about "Mr. Heathe" and the Hitman and how their first encounter had played out. "And now it seems he wants to play with me."

"So...you made this guy?"

"...I'm not sure.", Batman says.

"Changing the subject now," Oracle says. "You guys, Arkham just went red. Criminals are starting to get loose. Several are already unaccounted for."

"We'll be there", Batman says as the roof closes over them. The vehicle lifts up into the air and they head toward Arkham.

Once over Arkham, they can see as various criminals riot, some among them being super criminals.

"It might take more than us two for this. I've been wrong before, though. Oracle, prepare a quick scan over the super criminals and ID them."

(should we wait for the others to join in on this? Considering Pryde and Venom control officers?)

"Already on it," Oracle says, uploading a list of villains out and about in the complex.

(Sure, makes sense. You can determine which villains are there)

"Caliber, Frost, Dolly and a few others.", Batman observed.
