To Gotham by Midnight Part 5

.---------------------------.

I don't know how long I've been hanging here,

too long

I need to come up with a plan soon but the pain was making it very difficult to think

However I try and push the feeling into the back of the mind but all I can think about is everything that I did wrong tonight

It was a fault of mine

I was the biggest judge of my actions

firstly I shouldn't have fallen for such an obvious trap you're better than that Romanoff,

Secondly I should have bought some back up or at least kept in contact with the Bat cave, but I'm done for counting my mistakes today.

I can't help but feel like I've let Batman down big time

I'll never forgive myself if those guns get sold to the gangs it could cost innocent lives, come on Widow get it together.

I try and draw the attention of one of the men he looked to be around 40 with long black hair and a beard with a strong southern accent

"Excuse me" I say whilst trying my best to sound weak he looks around at me

"Sorry mam but the boss says not to talk to you" the man replies 

<wow 'mam' I am starting to feel old>,

The other man who didn't speak English but Spanish silently nodded in response

"But you don't understand I've got something important to tell you" I explain but I really just needed them to get closer and it works

I have their curiosity as soon as they are close enough I have to act quickly

I swiftly head-butt the both of them

It's a good thing that I've got a very solid skull one strike is all it took luckily but it unquestionably hurt me a lot more than it did them,

I use an old trick that I learned back in the Red Room to shuffle my way out of my restraints.

I hit the floor with a loud thud

I feel all the blood rush out of my head and back into areas that were feeling very numb,

I hold my head in my hands for a few agonising moments until I feel somebody helping me up off the floor 

I panic for a split second fearing that one of Banes men had come back but my fear quickly retreats once I recognize the charming yet slightly gloating voice,

"You know I had a feeling that you may need a hand" says Nightwing as he supports me on his shoulder I smile at him

"Oh my hero" I say sarcastically.

We exit the building where I was being held only to see Tim running towards us

"You're ok!" he yells as he enwraps me in a big hug and given my previous injuries it was a painful hug

All of my broken ribs screamed in relentless agony,

"Ouch, good to see you too Robin" Tim quickly lets me go as soon as he realizes that I'm in pain

"Sorry Natasha" he apologizes, I look around and spot my gear my stingers and my utility belt on a nearby table

"Where is he?" I ask Nightwing

"Bane and the Guns are in a warehouse on the west side of the docks not too far from here" he tells me I look at both of the boys

"Let's go" I tell them.

We sneak over to the building it was the only structure that had its lights on we climb on to the roof and observe the men below through a sky light on the roof samples of the guns lined the tables as some buyers tested them out on practice boards his men stood around the room still looking a bit miffed at the beating I gave them earlier

"I need you to distract them" I tell Nightwing and Robin

"Oh great I'm good at that" Robin responds jokingly, the two boys jump down from the sky light

"Hey fellas we were looking for a room of dummies, oh wait Robin look we found them" Nightwing teases as the men begin firing at them, but they knew what they were doing.

I crawl through the sky light and remain unseen in the darkness of the rafters above although they were all focused on Tim and Dick as they threw more insults at the men.

"Someone just kill those little Brats" Bane yells at his men but Nightwing and Robin successfully dodge each bullet as if this was nothing more than a game 

I make my way to where some of the guns were being held out of sight of anyone,

I use a knife I kept in my boot to force the crate open.

I look inside there had to be nearly a hundred thousand dollars worth of guns in just this crate alone Hand guns, Machine Guns, MK49s, Shotguns any kind of guns that you could think of 

I carefully plant an explosive inside the crate I plant several more explosives on different crates this should be enough to destroy them all.

I set the timer for 30 seconds then I make a break for it as quick a my legs will allow me,

I run towards Dick and Tim through the chaotic gun fire although through all of the fighting the two of them seemed to be immensely enjoying themselves

"It's time that we take our leave" I tell them we all run towards the large cargo bay door but as we cross the threshold the monstrous explosion goes off and given the added gun powder it was twice as powerful.

I pick up Tim and I swing us away whilst Nightwing glides using his winged suit whilst Bane and all of his men are sent flying by the very powerful explosion.

I look behind us as the whole building was up in flames it looked even worse than I first thought like a giant incinerator for the large quantity of weapons that now burned inside.

"Nice explosion Black Widow" Robin smiles up at me

"Destruction Robin, it's what I do best"

I see Bane trying to get back up but I kick him straight back down but given at how disorientated he was from the explosion when he tries to punch me he misses giving Nightwing an unmissable opening,

Suddenly a fork lift swiftly comes out of nowhere Nightwing drives it straight into Bane and then jumps out of the drivers seat as the fork lift sets course for a solid brick wall,

"Thanks Nightwing" I tell him he smiles at me and gives me a thumbs up, but Bane is still trying to get back up, he lifts off the heavy duty vehicle as if it was nothing more than an empty cardboard box,

<wow he really doesn't know when to give up>

"Looks like the Funs not over yet Romanoff!" Nightwing yells over as he retrieves a baton that he liked to take on missions with him nowadays

"This ones mine" I raise my hand to Nightwing telling him to stand down, it was my job to finish this.

I run up to him and I sting him using full power on my stingers he begins to violently shake as immense pain engulfs him

<That was enough voltage to kill a normal sized man>

He screams as the current from my stingers destroy the venom distributor that provides him with Venom and he collapses to the floor.

Tim and Dick comes running up to me , they both look at the now unconscious giant man on the floor "Is it over?" Tim asks me

"It's Over" I tell the boys as we hear incoming sirens and emergency vehicles

"Perhaps it's time we leave?" Tim suggests he was right the cops will clean up this mess.

We watch distant fire engines extinguish the fire whilst all of the men are piled in to cop cars but we stuck to the shadows of a nearby building   

"Come on maggot move it" Harvey Bullock angrily yells at one of the men who were hopelessly trying to escape whilst some specialists took Bane away

"It was good you guys came along I couldn't have done it without you I need to stop being so stubborn I suppose" I tell them as they both smile at each other

"And arrogant" Dick suggests 

"And angry" Tim Chimes in 

"And mean" Grayson adds another one to the list, I could feel myself getting more and more annoyed with the pair of them 

"Ok! ok, I get it" I cut of the pair of them before they can say something else "Still I'm much older and experienced than the pair of you so I'm still in charge" they both raise their hands in surrender 

"Understood" 

"That's ok Natasha you were just channelling your inner Batman" Tim says.
