Nightwing

At Arkham

Scarecrow's men patrols around the area

Unaware Batman and Robin glide above them landing on the roof of the Arkham mansion

Batman: Oracle. We're in.

*Good. I'm getting heavy activity. The Asylum is filled with armed goons. Looks like Crane was planning this for a long time.*

Batman: Obsession for my family has made dwell on this long.

Robin: But why your family?

Batman stares down at the condemned Asylum seeing now his mother was born here

Knowing Amadeus Arkham is his grandfather

Batman: Crane looked up to Amadeus Arkham but then he worked for the Wayne's till they cut his fundings for his misdeeds here in Arkham.

Robin: The guy sounds nuts.

Batman: We need to find which building Crane is in. Oracle. Are you still tapped into Scarecrow's communications?

*Every link is on my frequency. I'll patch you in they'll surely talk where he's at.*

Batman and Robin listen in the communications to pinpoint Scarecrow's location

They overheard Crane's office is in the Arkham mansion yet they happen to be on top of

The Dynamic Duo nod to each other and grapple up

Back with Zatanna and Catwoman they continued fighting

Catwoman continues to lash her whip to keep Zatanna

Zatanna grabs the whip pulls it and turns over pulling her whip off her hands and the minute they turned the whip was gone

Not in Selina's hands or in Zatanna's

Catwoman: What the hell?!

Zatanna points her thumb up Catwoman looks up and saw her whip hanging off the ceiling

Catwoman: How'd you---?!

Zatanna: One of my father's favorite acts. See Selina you stick around your parents long enough you learn a lot. You ditch them you get sloppy.

Catwoman: Screw you.

Zatanna: It's not too late Selina. Hand over the necklace and we can call it goods.

Catwoman: And go back to jail? Like hell!

Selina tries to slash her and then Zatanna dodged her grabbing her hands and then....

....her vanishing act made her claws disappear too

Catwoman: No!

Zatanna: Last chance Selina. We both know you can't win.

Catwoman yells in anger and tries to kick her Zatanna smacks her off

Catwoman was loosing the fight by Zatanna's magic talents

Back at Arkham Scarecrow's men patrols the halls near Crane's office

But all of a sudden....

....a window shatters and to their shock

Batman and Robin burst in

Goon # 1: It's them!

Goon # 2: Waste them!

Batman and Robin fight off the goons

Batman kicks one goon punching another

Robin grabs an arm of another throwing him to another and puts his black belt skills in work

Batman and Robin finished Scarecrow's men off in minutes

Robin: What'd you think?

Batman: I'll have to test your skills myself when this is over.

The Dynamic Duo entered Scarecrow's office he wasn't in there but they saw the computer on the desk was left on

They moved on opposite sides around the desk and then logged into a video....

..... waiting to play

Robin: Why am I sensing an easy clue here.

Batman: One way to find out.

Batman pressed play and Scarecrow appears on screen

*Hello Batman. I knew you would find me sooner or later. That's why I prepared for it.*

Suddenly the door bolted locked automatically jumping them both

Robin: It's a trap!

Batman looks at the video again

*And now... it's time to face the hidden terror that keeps you awake at night!*

Fear gas came in through the air vents

Robin: Gas!

Batman: Take a breath!

Batman and Robin ducked down holding their breaths but couldn't for long

Suddenly the skylight above the office shatters which the wind sucks the gas up

Batman and Robin look up and to their surprise

A new masked figure leaps down

He was in a black suit resembling the bat suits and the symbol was blue shaped as some type of bird

Under the mask....

....it was Dick Grayson he returned under a new mental

Nightwing: Still in nick deep in trouble I see.

Robin: Who are you?

Nightwing: Really Bruce? A replacement?

Batman widens his eyes realizing the obvious

Batman: Dick?

He nods

Robin frowns in confusion

Robin: The original Robin?

Nightwing: Not anymore kid. The old Robin left the nest.

Batman: It's good to see you again.

Nightwing: I'll admit.... it's good to see you too. More good you didn't burn in Wayne Manor. Is Barbara ok?

Batman: She is.

Nightwing: And you are?

Robin: We met before Dick. You saw me with Barbra outside the dorm building at GCU.

Dick realized the obvious himself

Nightwing: Your Barbra's friend. Timmy was it?

Robin: My friends call me Tim. But want this suit back?

Nightwing: Keep it. I'm happy with the new one

Batman: So what'd you stand for now?

Nightwing: Call me.... Nightwing.

Bruce grins impressed

Batman: Nightwing huh?

Robin: I like it.

Nightwing: Thanks.

Batman: I know when we last left things...I understand why you left....but.... it's good to have you back.

Nightwing: I'm here to help just like old times.

From there the newly Dynamic Trio exit the office to find Scarecrow

Back at garage Catwoman was loosing poorly to Zatanna

Without her claws and whip Selina had no way of beating Zatanna her professional magician skills were too much for her

Zatanna could end this if she wanted but she kept trying to reason with her

Zatanna: Selina stop this now. I know all about you Bruce told me everything.

Catwoman pulls off her mask frustrated and hair bushed

Selina: You sound just like him. You both think you know me but you don't.

Zatanna: It doesn't have to be this way. Do you even wonder why you're a criminal. And I don't mean because you wanna be.

Selina: "I don't want to be"? I think disagree and Bruce's old sidekick would too. As would the GCPD.

Zatanna: That's not what I mean. I'm talking about what you use to be before Catwoman. You were a lonely secretary.

Selina: Executive Assistant.

Zatanna: Whatever. Surely you must have been something better. Something Bruce saw in you before. But do you have to let Max Shrek control you more? What he done was wrong yes but you can't keep doing more wrong cause he pushed you out the window. He's gone Selina.

Selina: Yeah cause I killed him.

Zatanna: But you're still letting him get to you by being a criminal. Long as you keep doing wrong.... he's winning.

Selina: Shut up.

Selina suddenly kicks her away and she makes her run for it again

Her and Ms Kitty leap up the window and looks down at her

Selina: I'm not gonna buy in your pep talk. Not when I finally have what I deserve.

Zatanna: What you deserve is to be facing justice.

Selina: Like I said you sound like him. Now if you'll excuse me...I need to stop by the black Market before I leave this hellish city.

Zatanna: I don't think you're getting a single cent.... without these.

To Selina's shock Zatanna was holding Martha's necklace

She swiped it over another magic trick

Selina: You....bitch. GIVE ME THAT!

Zatanna: Uh uh! It belongs to Bruce's family. I'm gonna give you a choice Selina. You can run but loose any chance with Bruce forever. Or...you turn yourself end and make things right. Either way I'll make sure you never betray Bruce and get away with it. Never.

Zatanna blows another smoke explosion and disappears

Selina yells pissed and frustrated

Selina: GODDAMMIT!

(Looks like Selina has bad luck of her own but the fighting for Gotham continues....)
