Part 20: A Battle To Remember (3)

[Zofia POV]


I walk out to the entrance of the GCPD and hear practically the entire police force telling someone to get on the ground. I look at the man they are holding at gun point. It's the guy who helped us with that clay monster.


Zofia: "Hay everyone put your guns down!" I yell with both hands up standing in front of the man.


Cop: "He can't do that ma'am. He could kill us all in a heartbeat!"


Zofia: "What are you talking about. He saved my life. I trust him!"


Cop: "You're crazy lady!"


Barbara: "Stand down!"


The commissioner comes out from the crowd making a hand gesture to put the guns down. Everyone slowly puts their guns down.


Deadshot: "Thank you." He says in a robotic voice.


Zofia: "It's the least I could do."


The man gets up off his knees while the commissioner comes to us.


Barbara: "What are you doing here Floyd? Should you be in Star City instead of trying to kill again?"


Deadshot: "I didn't have a choice. Batman told me to come here as soon as clayface was dealt with. I tried to radio to him but radio is dead."


Barbara: "Ya we are working on that. Wait, did you say Batman sent you here?"


Deadshot: "Yes. We came to an understanding, let's just say that."


Barbara: "Alright then. So you dealt with Clayface?"


Zofia: "Wait, you mean that thing back there has a name?"


Barbara: "Yes. Any freaks or psychos that show up here have a name. It's basically tradition at this point. Anyway, about Clayface."


Deadshot: "Well I didn't exactly deal with him. I more so slowed him down. He have killed this woman and her team if I didn't show up."


Barbara: "Where is he now?"


Deadshot: "He's somewhere by the news station. I ended up losing him in a crowd of enemies."


Barbara: "Alright come with me. You need to get caught up with everything."


We go to the Commissioner's office and regroup and plan an attack. Let's hope (Y/n) is doing alright.


[Y/n POV]


I was looking for Clayface through the streets and allies. I was riding the Batpod forever. Out of nowhere a clay mallet. It hits the front end sending me flying. I manage to land on my feet however. Clayface comes from the shadows in his clay form.


Clayface: "This is it Batman. You and me. Today you die."


(Y/n): "I'm not playing games Karlo." I say angrily.


Clayface: "Of course not. But I still need to play my part."


We stand in the middle of the street like a western stand off. Karlo decides to make the first move and charge me with thunderous footsteps. At run at him throwing a few cryo bombs. It's starts to slow him but not stop him.


He goes for an overhead strike but the freeze makes him slow. I slide under him dodging his attack and getting behind him. I start to throw punches at his head hoping that I froze him enough to shatter his head. It didn't work. Instead he shoots spikes from his back forcing me to back off.


I back up a little but he closes the distance by morphing into a spike ball and rolling towards me. I barely manage to dodge him. He turns back into his humanoid state and faces me.


Clayface: "Just give up. I can go on forever. You have to stop sooner or later."


It then starts to rain. It's raining heavy. It doesn't effect Karlo much. Then I got and idea. He starts to get soaked in rain. I charge at him but giving him a chance to morph and change. The rain start to mix with his clay body slowly turning him into a slime like state.


He starts to collapse.


Clayface: "What's happening to me?!"


I throw another cryo bomb at him. It manages to freeze his body but not his head. I walk to him and detach his head from the frozen puddle that was his body.


Clayface: "You can't kill me Batman. IM IMMORTAL!"


I finish the job by shoving the final cryo bomb in his mouth. It detonates an ice shards explode from his head. He's not dead but he will be like his for some time. I take the head of Clayface and get on the Batpod.


I drive to the GCPD through the heavy rain. I get there and head straight to Barbara. She was at the front desk so I just slammed Karlo's head on the table getting her attention.


Barbara: "Looks like you got him."


(Y/n): "It was a pain. Did Floyd show up. I tried contacting you and him but I was getting interference."


Barbara: "Ya we are about to work on that. And yes Floyd did show up. Why is he on our side?"


(Y/n): "They have his daughter. They said if he killed me he would get his daughter back."


Barbara: "Jesus. Is that all the assassins taken care of?"


(Y/n): "Yes. Now we deal with the main threat."


Barbara: "Right about that. They have set up a radio jammer at Gotham's news station. It's heavily guarded so we are about to launch an assult."


(Y/n): "Then what?"


Barbara: "We have a team sneak into enemy territory. We destroy their supplies, cut them down little by little, then they surrender."


(Y/n): "Alright then. Sounds like a plan."


Barbara: "Wait really? If I was talking to Bruce he would try and do it alone."


(Y/n): "I'm trying to widen the Batman's circle of trust. And I trust that this plan will work."


Barbara: "Glad to hear it. Quite a few rainbow operatives are going to the news station as well as some of our police force."


(Y/n): "Send Deadshot. Which him there it will get done a lot faster."


Barbara: "Okay. If you trust him then I do. Let's get this done."


I walk with Barbara to go over the plans with everyone. I resupply and get ready. I see that Taina is sitting on her own with her head in her hands, so I go sit next to her.


(Y/n): "Hay you okay?"


She lifts her head and looks at me.


Caveira: "Ya I'm fine. It's just been a long night. How do you do it?"


(Y/n): "To be honest I don't know. I guess you get used to it after a while."


Caveira: "I have been meaning to ask you. What are you going to do once this is over."


(Y/n): "I will go back to what I have always done. Helping the defenseless."


Caveira: "That's not what I meant. I meant after you're to old for punching people in a bat costume."


(Y/n): chuckles "Well I will probably just do what my dad did. Settle down, focus on my company, start a family. What about you?"


Caveira: "I don't know. I just don't know."
