Part 25: Same Sides, Same Coin

[Y/n POV]


I had gotten a call from Barbara. She had a worried tone of voice. I'm outside the GCPD with a few friends. Last time I came here alone I nearly died. I won't make that mistake again. I walk in and everyone is looking at me. Not a look of fear or disgust but a look of awe. Almost like I was a watchful protector.


I go into Barbara's office while the others wait outside. Her was pacing back and forth with papers and pictures.


(Y/n): "Barbara are you okay."


Barbara: "Ya but the city has a new problem on their hands. A gun shop was robbed. Multiple men, some of them mine were shot dead."


(Y/n): "Let me guess. Witnesses caught sight of a clown."


Barbara: "Yes. You knew?"


(Y/n): "I only found out two days ago. I have been trying to find him before he could do anything but looks like he already made his mark."


Barbara: "This isn't good. If he has weapons and men already then there's no telling what he could do in the coming days. And here I was thinking he was dead. How is he back?"


(Y/n): "Only Scarecrow knows but he's not conscious."


Barbara: "So they were the ones behind this."


An explosion can be felt through the floor. Is shakes the entire building knocking everyone off their feet. I get up and walk out to see everyone else experiencing the same thing.


(Y/n): "Is everyone okay!?"


I get a few answers from everyone. Everyone is okay but what is causing this?


Zofia: "(Y/n) we got a problem."


(Y/n): "I know. Wait were is Taina and everyone else."


Zofia: "That's the problem I was talking about."


[Caveira POV]


A few cops requested assistance with some assholes causing trouble underneath the police department. They took the lead saying they knew this place better than anyone. We kept following until we got to the water treatment area. We walk in and then and explosive goes off behind us.


Rubble blocks our only exit. I try and start moving the large pieces of debris but it's no use.


Thatcher: "It's no use lass. Don't worry, I'm sure everyone will come investigate and we will be out in no time."


???: "I wouldn't be so sure of that."


Someone was talking on the other side of all the rubble. Their voice sounded gravely.


???: "I know what you are thinking. Who is this person that has trapped us here. Well if you must know my pretties, you are my leverage. Well one of you at least. I would get use to being in their if I were you. And don't worry you have plenty of water to help yourselves to."


They give a chuckle then nothing.


Caveira: "Grace can you radio Zofia tell here we are in trouble?"


Dokkaebi: "We are underground. It's gonna be hard but I think I can try."


Vigil: "We can try and use our breach charges and get out."


Doc: "That may not be a good idea considering we are in an enclosed space but I don't think we have a choice."


Thatcher: "The guy called us leverage. That's not good."


Caveira: "No. He said one of us. One of us as leverage."


Vigil: "We can't think about that right now. We need to work on getting out of here."


Dokkaebi: "I did it! I got the message out to Zofia. I can't get a response back but I'm sure she got the message."


beep beep beep


Doc: "Shh! Do you hear that?"


beep beep beep


Thatcher: "Shit! They have this place wired to blow don't they."


[Y/n POV]


There are gunshots out side. I go out to investigate telling everyone to get back and be ready. I look out the window and see him. With his men, and a lot of them. I walk out side slowly and cautiously.


Joker: "Just the guy I have been looking for. Sorry but I set off a few fireworks early."


(Y/n): "What do you want?"


Joker: "Oh come now old buddy. It me, your good friend mister J. You probably can't recognize me without your pointy eared mask of yours."


(Y/n): "You still didn't answer my question."


Joker: "Right sorry, got excited for a sec. Ha. Well what I want is to be back on top of the world."


(Y/n): "Not happening."


Joker: "Really? My men say otherwise."


They all raise the guns at me. All of them have clown masks and some expensive looking rifles.


(Y/n): "So your just gonna kill me?"


Joker: "Ha. What? No no no. You know that's not how this works. You know you aren't as fun as the last bats. Speaking of which, have you even bothered call you sweet parents of yours."


That set something off inside of me. The anger I had tried to bury had came back up. I was about to charge him but he pulled out a detonator. It stopped me dead in my tracks.


(Y/n): "WHERE ARE THEY!?


Joker: "Well there at home silly. With some of my guys and a few pounds of C4 under there feet. But that's not what his sets off. Your friends along with your pretty little girlfriend are sitting also sitting on some explosive toys. Thank you Birdie haha."


I kept looking around and at him. If I could knock that out of his hand then I could stop it.


Joker: "Oh I wouldn't bother trying to take this. Dead man's switch. But is not like you would try to kill me anyways. I'm your favorite."


(Y/n): "Your insane. I'm go to stop you."


I don't wait for a response I go back inside and start to plan. But it's hard to think when everyone you care about is at the hands of fate. For the first time in a long time, I didn't know what to do. All I know is that there is one way I can stop him. I need my suit.

I should probably let you all know that this story will be brought to a close soon. I don't know how many more chapters until that happens but we will see.
