Bane and Freeze leave Batman.....broken
Alfred's legs still frozen
Outside Freezes freezes half Wayne manor sealing them in in ice
Mr. Freeze: Freeze away Batman.
And then he hopped in the van driving off
After minutes passed Robin with Batgirl on her own motorcycle pulled into the entrance of the batcave with Robin calling on a speaker
Robin: Open.
The entrance opens and they rode in
Inside they saw the aftermath of Bane's destruction and soon found Alfred
Robin: ALFRED!
Alfred: Help him....
They look down saw Batman lying on the floor below
Robin: No...take this.
Robin gives Batgirl his heat ray.
Robin: Press the center to blast to melt the ice.
Batgirl nods and attends thawing Alfred while Dick tends to the broken Batman
Robin: Batman! Bruce are you alright?
Batman could barely speak the pain was really getting to him
Robin: Hang on big guy. Just hang on.
Hours passed and Bruce was now being treated in the medic wing of the batcave
While Alfred was in the best care too due to his legs were frozen
Robin and pretty much Batgirl stood outside the wing
Batgirl: I still can't believe it. Bruce Wayne is Batman?
Robin: Believe me I knew you'd find out if I asked you to give me a lift here. And I wouldn't have had to if Freeze hadn't destroyed my bike.
Batgirl: Then that would also make you his ward.
Robin sighed knowing there was no hiding it now he removes his mask
Dick: Guilty as charged....Bruce would kill me if I told you this but I was out of options.
Batgirl: Then I guess it's only fair you knew me too.
To Dick's surprise Batgirl removes her mask and to Dick's shock
Dick: Barbra?!
Barbra: Guilty as charged.
Dick: So you're Batgirl? But how long?
Barbra: Since my mother's accident. And that my dad puts his life on the line every night....I wanted to make a difference. Both my dad and the Batman inspired me to become Batgirl.
Dick: Yeah he's got that effect on everyone. Look you're not gonna tell your dad or anyone about us are you? It's not that we don't trust him but if everyone knew our secrets it would bite us all.
Barbra: Don't worry my dad doesn't even know what I'm doing. After my mother he'd flip the F out.
Dick: So will Bruce. But knowing you're the Commissioner's daughter he might recruit you.
Barbra: I don't know he wasn't keen on that when he saved me from Bane's mercenaries and at the base all though he let Catwoman and me help.
Dick: I wouldn't trust Catwoman. She's a gold digging bitch.
Barbra: I know she seems heartless but I think she means well. Other wise why help you guys stop Bane.
Dick: Probably just to save her own selfish hyde.
Dick was unlikely to see Catwoman other wise
Meanwhile in Freeze's van they finally arrive at Gothcorp's research lab
The mercenaries began the break in by disabling the alarm and then Freeze blasts freezing the entrance
And the mercs bust in to hold the place up as Bane comes in behind Freeze
Freeze freezes security guards in their way
Any remaining hostages were forced on their knees scared to death
Bane: Ladies and gentlemen please do not be alarmed. My men and I are only here to acquire one thing. Who here has the most possession.....of the Lazarus chemicals?
A man shouts if he nuts given that chemical is heavily classified
But Bane snapped his neck like a twig which panics the crowd But were forced to resume silence by mercenaries shooting up
Bane: Any volunteers?
Hardly given a choice some staff lead Bane and Freeze and three mercs to them to where the Lazarus chemicals were being kept
A scan of a staff's eye opens the door automatically and inside
The Lazarus chemicals
Bane: At last....after years of searching.....the Lazarus chemicals are now in our clutches.
Mr. Freeze: Nora will finally have her cure.
Bane: Our prayers have indeed been answered Senior Victor. Now the time has come for our next step into evolution.
In time tubes of the Lazarus chemicals were being stored into trucks the mercs were steal8ng from the facility
Freeze stared for the first time in years....feeling hope
Mr. Freeze: It won't be long now Nora. Soon the cure will be complete.
(Freeze may have his hope back but what hope does Gotham have without Batman? Robin? Batgirl.......?)
