Chapter 4: The brave and the bold

"Two weeks ago, Talia Al Ghoul attacked me. I got shot multiple times and taken into intensive care treatment. While I was unconscious Eagle and Nightwing chased the Red Hood but with no success. They say crime never sleeps but these past two weeks they have. Their hasn't been a single crime that the GCPD haven't been able to handle. For the first time since I became Batman I've been able to celebrate Christmas with my friends and family without anyone trying to destroy the city. But now, one week after Christmas Talia Al Ghoul is back and I'm NOT in condition to fight. Today I have trust that Eagle, Nightwing and my fiancé Catwoman can bring Talia to justice once and for all. Let's end 2018 in the best possible way."


"It's over Talia. Your surrendered. Give up!" Eagle said as she knocked down the last one of Talia's bodyguards. "I don't think so." The young girl responded as she picked up a gun from the floor and her sword from her side."mightiest do you thing." Catwoman ordered as Nightwing activated his two electro batons and smashed them together, releasing a sharp and powerful flash. He later ran towards Talia while Eagle activated her drone that soon started to fire small electro pulses towards the young girl. Catwoman ran parallel with Nightwing towards Talia and all three was ready to attack.
Nightwing now tried to hit Talia with one of the batons, the attack was however, blocked by the young girls sword and she pushed back Nightwing a step or two. After that Catwoman was about to jump towards Talia but got interrupted by a few shots from the young girls gun. The shots that Eagles drone was about to fire would be powerful and only a few hits would knock Talia out cold. The drone now fired three yellow bolts but all ultimately missed.
Now Talia fired one well placed shot that shot down the drone and making it worthless. Eagle now ran towards the young girl and fired a few low voltage bolts from her wrists slinger. These bolts all hit Talia but with the layer of armor she had underneath the red suit it didn't do any major damage. Nightwing now attacked Talia from behind but she was ready for that attack. She did the same move as she did to Batman. She stabbed with her sword between her side and her arm. The sword went straight through Nightwings arm. Nightwing now screamed in pain as he dropped both batons and blood started running rushing out. Talia dragged out the sword from the arm and started shouting towards Eagle that were closing in. Nightwing now pressed his left hand towards the damage to try to stop the heavy bleeding. One of the bullets that Talia has fired towards Eagle hit her in the right knee making her quickly falling down to the floor, being unable to walk.
Talia and catwomna now looked each other in the eyes. They stood about five steps apart from each other. This distance was to Talia's advantage since she had a gun. Catwoman knew this fight would be impossible from this distance. Her only chance to win would be in close combat. But she didn't care. She had sworn to herself and to Bruce that she would avenge Talia for what she did to Batman. She rushed forward as Talia fired two shots. Talia missed the first shot but the other one was blocked by Catwoman's new claws that also worked as a shield. Catwoman now came closer to Talia and delivered a quick kick towards the young girls chests the kick mass Talia step back a few steps but she quickly recovered and swing her blade multiple times. The sword was blocked by catwoman multiple times and she now grabbed the hilt and titled it towa4s Talia making her drop the sword. The two girls now started fighting each other with hand to hand combat. One second Catwoman had the advantage but the other Talia took it. They continued to fight for quite some time but eventually Talia had beaten catwoman and she now laid there on the cold floor. Talia went back to pick up her sword to end this battle once and for all. Right when she was about to pick up the sword, multiple shots was heard. Catwoman quickly looked at the direction from which the shots had been fired. There she was suppressed to see Harvey Det and Two face firing a large machine gun towards Talia.
The shots stormed in towards Talia, she quickly took cover behind a large box.
"Get ultimately of here! We will hold her of!" Harvey screamed as he reloaded the gun.
Eagle that had recently been shot in the knee had now done a basic treatment to her, making it possible for her to walk again. She quickly left the large wear house while Talia were distracted. Catwoman did the same thing as her crime fighting partner and left the building. On the way out she thanked Harvey with a quick nod while closing her eyes.
Once outside both Eagle and Catwoman realized that Nightwing were still inside. They looked back to see if he could be seen. He sure could but thy were not happy with what they saw. They saw Talia holding Nightwing with one hand while the her sword was Hood towards his throat...


"Any news from the team?" Bruce asked as he looked at batcomputer that showed "no signal."  "Not yet... The single has been dead for quite some time but the suit vitals are good." Alfred responded. "I should be out there with them!" Bruce said in anger as he took a sip from the new cooked tea. "No, you should not. You're still to hurt to fight someone like Talia Al Ghoul." Alfred said as he held a sack with hay and walked towards the cow to feed him. "How could that cow have saved my life?" Bruce asked as he looked at Alfred and the cow. "That is a question I cannot answer. Perhaps ask him himself." Alfred said sarcastically. "Fine... How were you able to save me?" Bruce asked his pet with a funny smile. "MOooo!" The cow quickly responded as he took a large bite of his new hay.
Right when Bruce was about to check the newsfeed on the computer someone was heading down through the batcaves elevator.
"Who the hell is coming down?" Bruce said as he quickly went to pick up a few batarang and shockers.
"This cave was colder then I had imagined..." a very familiar voice said as it revealed itself when Red Hood stepped out of the shadow...


"...let him GO!!!" Two face yelled as Talia were still holding Nightwing as her hostage. "Nah... I rather not." Talia said with an annoyed voice but at the same time with a cute smile, trying to stay on her role.
"I got a plan, distracted her. I'll sneak up behind. She still believes I'm too wounded to move. She won't look for me." Eagle told catwoman and Harvey. "That's a terrible idea." Catwoman responded. "What if she sees you. Then she kills both you and Nightwing." She later continued. "It's the only way. We have to use the element of surprise if we want to take her out." Tiffany stated. "I agree with the girl. We must do something bold to win." Harvey said as he continued to aim the machine gun towards Talia.


"...How did you get in here?" Alfred asked as Red Hood walked further inside the cave. "That doesn't matter, the only important part is that I'm here, and I'm here to take revenge upon you... Batman!" Red Hood responded while picking up two guns and started aiming them towards Bruce. "Who are you?" Bruce asked as aimed a batarang towards the Red Hood. "You don't recognize me? I'm very disappointed... I thought both of you would, or at least you Alfred. After all I am Lady Arkham!" The Red Hood said as she took of the hood revealing Vicky Vale's aka Lady Arkham's face. "Hoir back from the dead I see?" Alfred with a worrying face expression. "Of course not... I never died. But that's no thanks to you." She said pointing at Bruce. "You left me to die. If it wouldn't have been for Doctor Strange that found me and rescued me. I would have died a painful and slow death." She continued saying while still holding the two guns. "Hugo saved me and gave me a chance to take revenge upon you. That chance is NOW... NOW I will let you suffer the same as I did." The Red Hood finished. At that exact mom she threw a small c4 cake towards Bruce that tried to jump aside but unable to because of his injuries. Alfred was nowhere near the bomb and picked up on of the shocker from the table next to him. Right when he was about to throw the shocker the c4 cake exploded and the small explosion hit one of the pillars in the batcave badly. Another hit like that would make the batcave instantly collapse.
Red Hood now went crazy with her two guns and started firing wild. Both Bruce and Alfred has taken cover behind a large tilted metal table.
Bruce slowly moved the table to the left where he had a small emergency kit for this exact situation. He opened the kit and inside was a small bottom and a small bomb of some sort. Bruce knew exactly what to do but wouldn't be able to do it without being shot. He needed to throw the bomb very close to Vicky and then quickly press the bottom. The bomb would quickly explode and out if it would be a bright light that would stick for about 25 seconds. Right when the bomb would explode he would press the bottom which would kill all the electricity making it complete dark except from where Vicky is standing. Then thousands of bats would storm all over Vicky, giving both Bruce and Alfred enough time to expect inside a small hatch right next to the emergency kit. This hatch would lead inside a tunnel that would eventually lead to an small open field where Bruce would have a bunker with all the necessary gear and things to survive. No one would be able to track them to there and from the bunker they are easily able to shut down the entire Manor and cave. However, non of this is possible while Red Hood is still shooting like a maniac. They would need a distraction. But how would they get one? Bruce sat there for a few second trying to figure out the perfect distraction. While he did that. Red Hood slowly walked closer to the table. While everyone was distracted to make a distraction, the brave and bold, in white and brown came running in behind Red Hood. Giving to heads up he ran faster then ever and the moment before Red Hood would turn around a loud and majestic "Moooo!" Could be heard. The brave Batcow now pushes Red Hood with all his force. Vicky was now laying in the floor and before she was realizing what was happening Bruce used the emergency kit. Everything went completely black inside the cave and then hatch had opened. Bruce and Alfred escaped through the hatch with the cow behind them. All this while the bright light appeared right next to Vicky and thousands of bats stormed all over her...


Before Eagle was even in position to sneak up on Talia 10 large helicopters flew in over the warehouse. They landed on Talia's side of the house and quickly marched inside. In came about 100 soldiers dressed all in black. Everyone of them was equipped with a heavy gun in their arms and a large knife on their side. Leading the soldiers were Talia's father, Ra's Al Ghoul. The old and tall man marched with confidence as he passed by one of Talia's men that had just woken up from being knocked down. The man apologized to his master for failing him. But before he could finish the sentence Ra's killed him with a shot to the head. "Talia, We're leaving. Take the hostage and jump inside your helicopter. This is exactly the advantage point we need for our plan." The old man said with his dark voice. All of them soldiers marched back inside the Hilo's opter after they had executed all the knocked down men of Talia's.
Right when Catwoman and the team saw the last helicopter fly away she got a text from Bruce. The text showed up on her wristband. "Emergency. Find us at the emerge Bunker. DO NOT go to the cave."
Catwomna quickly told Eagle and Harvey that they had to go while they saw Nightwing being taken away...
