Chapter 16: School attack

The next day, it's a beautiful morning in Gotham City. Kids are now going to school to learn more about stuff and life. Parents are dropping off their kids to the schools. At a school by the river, kids are going inside it. A car pulls up, and a young boy gets out of it. 

Boy: Bye, mom. 

Woman: Bye, sweetie. Be good. 

It's Mrs. Bishop, Isaac's mother. And the little boy is Arnott Bishop, Isaac's little brother. He runs for the door as his mother drives away. He makes it inside. Three minutes later, all the kids go inside the school, just doing their school business. Isaac suddenly appears on a rooftop by the school. He looks at the school, and scans the area. So far, he hasn't seen anything strange. He looks around as he scans the entire school. He can see his little brother inside. He smiles. Just then, he scans something. He looks, and sees a man walking down the basement. He frowns as he watches him. He decides to go in to stalk him. He turns invisible, and limps to the roof of the school. He lands silently, and walks to the door that leads inside. He opens the door, and walks down the steps after closes the door. He walks down the steps quietly. He looks around as he doesn't see any teachers. He makes his way down to the basement. He carefully makes sure that he's making silence approaching. He scans the basement, and sees that the man is going to the boiler room. He sees him putting something in the air vents. He is in shock to see he might be putting something dangerous in the air inside the school. He walks faster to the basement. He makes it, and sees him. He glares, and rushes at him to stop him. The man turns around, and Isaac punches him in the face. He groans, and falls down. Isaac looks at him, and scans him. The guy's name is Andy Stevens. He's 34 years old, and he's a teacher here. But it also says he's been caught drinking on the job sometimes. He frowns as he looks at him. He then scans the air vents, and sees that he has put something in it. He scans it, and his eyes widen as he sees what it is. It's not poison gas, it's joker gas. He knows what they'll do to people. He looks at Stevens, and grabs him. Stevens' eyes widen as he sees Isaac in front of him.

Stevens: Jeez!

Isaac: Where did you get the gas?!

Stevens: Please don't hurt me!

Isaac: Answer me! 

Stevens: From Joker's boys!

Isaac: How much did you put in?!

Stevens: Half of it! I swear! 

Isaac: Why?! You put little children in harm's way! You call yourself a teacher?!

Stevens: They said they'd offer me money if I do this! I needed the money!

Isaac growls in anger. This man would put kids in harm's way for money. He punches Stevens in his face, knocking him out. He looks around to find a way to get rid of the gas. He can't find anything. He then spots the fire alarm. He smiles, and walks to it. He's about to pull it, but stops. He knows this will be too easy. He scans the alarm, and checks it. He sees that it triggers the gas in the air vents. He grunts angrily at this. He then tries to figure out another way. He decides to contact Dr. Hill to ask for advices.

Isaac: Dr. Hill, do you copy? This is Red Eye.

Hill on radio: I'm here. What is it?

Isaac: Joker's men had a teacher plant Joker gas in a children's school. 

Hill on radio: Which school? 

Isaac: The Gotham Elementary school. The one by the river. 

Hill on radio: I know where that is. What do you want me to do?

Isaac: Inform the police about it. We need to get the kids outta here. I'm trying to find a way to get rid of the gas, but I'm running out of time. 

Hill on radio: Alright. I'll call them to let them know. But you got to try to take out the gas now. 

Isaac: I will. Over and out.

Isaac then ties up Stevens, and turns invisible again. He decides to try to save the school from the gas. He looks around, and sees that the gas is waiting to be released into the classrooms. He then gets an idea. He looks for the main air duct to find the fans. He knows that will stop and destroy the gas. He walks by a classroom, and spots his little brother inside. He sees that he's alright. He smiles, and is holding back to go in there to hug him. He takes a deep breath, and walks off. A minute later, he finds the room where the fan controls are located that blows into the air ducts. He walks over to the controls, and pulls the lever. Then, the fans turn on. He watches as the fans blow into the ducts. He scans the ducks and vents. He sees that the gas is now being destroyed inside the ducts. He nods, smirking under his helmet. But then, he hears gunfire outside. Then, the children start screaming in fear. He gasps, and turns around. He slowly walks to the door, and peaks out. He sees more of Joker's men bringing kids and teachers out of the classrooms. 

Joker thug: Come on, you brats! Get out of there! Come with us!

They're dragging the kids, and take them to the gym. Isaac then spots his little brother being taken to the gym too. He's crying as a female teacher holds him. Isaac starts fuming at this. He thought that Joker wouldn't have a backup plan, but I guess he planned ahead. He grunts, and goes out as he turns back invisible. He follows after them, and sees that they are going to the gym. They're gathering the kids and teachers inside. Isaac's heart stop as he sees his little brother's scared face. He needs to get everyone outta there, but he's worried that he might get the kids killed if he makes one wrong move. He silently makes his way in. He sees Joker's men with guns. And then, there he is. Joker himself. Joker starts laughing. The kids are now really afraid. 

Joker: Hello, kids. How's a fun day for a laugh?

The kids are too scared to answer him. He just grins at this. 

Joker: But don't worry. We're gonna have so much fun. Aren't we, boys?

Joker thug: We sure will, boss!

Joker: Are you sure you got everyone in the building?

Joker thug 2: We got them all, boss. But we can't find Stevens anywhere. 

Joker thug 3: Did that low-life chickened out on us?

Joker thug: He probably did. What do you want us to do, boss? Find him?

Joker: Nah. We'll deal with him later. Right now, these kiddies need some laughing. Bring it over here.

A couple of thugs bring a container, and they open it. Arnott screams in fear as he sees it's gas. And not just any gas, it's more Joker gas. 

Female teacher: Oh, my gosh. Joker gas. He's going to kill all the children and us!

Male teacher: We can't do anything. We'll only get ourselves killed faster. 

Joker: (Looks at the kids and teacher) And now, you beautiful children must be removed of the burden of your sad little lives, but as my doctor always said, "If you gotta go, go with a smile". 

He laughs at this. And then, he turns to the gas. He walks over to it, and is about to kick it over to release it in the gym. The kids all scream as they see what he's about to do. But just before he could, something stops him. Something holds his leg from kicking. 

Joker: Huh?! What the?!

Then, something throws him backwards. The thugs all look in shocked and confused. Then, something fires shock rounds at them. They all scream and groan as they get shocked by the rounds. All of the kids look around to see what just happened. When all of the thug went down, Isaac turns visible. The kids all see him. 

Arnott: Red-Eye! 

Isaac: What's up, kids? 

Isaac then walks to Joker. Joker gets back up, He then sees him. Joker starts laughing.

Joker: Of course it would be you. You're the only one who can go out in the day and night. 

Isaac: Shut up!

He punches him in the face. Joker groans as he loses a tooth. Isaac then grabs him. He picks him up, and holds him up. 

Isaac: Joker, the police are already on their way to the school. Your plan has failed. And like it or not, you're going back to Arkham Asylum. Harley's already there, waiting for you. 

Joker: (Laughs) You think you can stop me, Red boy? 

Isaac: I don't think, I know. 

Isaac then punches him again, and knocks him out. He drops him down on the ground, and looks at the kids. Arnott looks at him. He gets up, and walks to him. The kids and teachers watch him go over to their savior. Isaac looks at his little brother. He kneels down to him. Arnott looks at him. 

Arnott: Red-Eye?

Isaac nods at him. Arnott then smiles. He then hugs him. Isaac hugs him back softly. Then, he gently pats his head. 

Isaac: You're all okay. The evil clown won't hurt you now. Just wait for the police to arrive. They'll take care of these guys. And kid?

Arnott: Yes?

Isaac: Hold out your hand for a minute.

Arnott holds out his hand. Then, Isaac picks up some empty shock round shells on the ground. He puts them in his hand. Arnott looks at them.

Isaac: Keep 'em. They're for you to keep. 

Arnott smiles more as he looks at them. He pats his head more. Then, he walks over to Joker, and ties him up with a line. Then, he leaves his calling card on him. Isaac turn to the kids, and salutes to them. He turns invisible, and leaves. The kids all laugh and cheer. Then, the police arrive. Daniel and Gordon come in with them. 

Daniel: Arnott?!

Arnott: Dad!

He runs to him. He hugs him, and he hugs back. Gordon then sees Joker and his men. He walks to Joker, and finds Red-Eye's calling card on him. He plays it, and on it, it plays, "Monster", by Skillet. He looks at it, and looks at Joker. He now has his son's killer again. But he knows he can't kill him. Isaac wouldn't want him to be a killer. He looks at Gordon, who looks at Joker. They finally got him again, and Harley Quinn. He nods at Daniel, who takes out handcuffs, and cuffs Joker. He picks him up, and takes him outside while the rest take care of Joker's men. Isaac watches from a building by the school. He sees the police taking care of Joker's men and him while tending the kids. He also spots his dad with his little brother. He smiles at them, and walks off to go back. He has taken care of Joker and his men. Maybe now, he can reveal himself to Barbara. He hopes that she'll be happy to see him alive. And prays that she still feels the same way that he does. 

Here's the 16th chapter of Batman: Super Soldier. Looks like Isaac has made it to his little brother's school, and found out what is going on. He managed to stop the gas, but Joker and his boys shows up, and takes the kids and teachers to the gym to release more joker gas. Now Isaac appears, and takes down his men first, and finally him.
