CLASH OF THE TITANS While Batman looked at the gruesome crime scene he had a feeling of intense anger and a bit of sadness as well. Nightwing walks over and places his hand on his mentors shoulders. "Well its over I guess" said Nightwing, That's it for the clown. Batman sat and looked at every detail of the crime scene struggling with his own emotions. You know me more than anyone else Dick so how should I feel? Said Batman. Nightwing paused and took a deep breath. "Well there is no correct answer Bruce. The craziest, most psychotic, and evil person you ever knew also made you the greatest hero." Said Nightwing "Do I feel conflicted because it was someone else who took him down or is it because I finally know that I don't have to constantly fear for the lives of those around me?" Said Batman Nightwing looked at Bruce and then noticed a clue out of the corner of his eye. Bruce! Said Nightwing pointing at a slash mark on the wall. Batman raised up casually and walked over to it. What ever or whomever did this had to have been very sharp. Said Batman Batman looked into a pit with spikes at the bottom of it. "Dick" Said Batman. Get a sample of the blood down there and see who it belongs to. The fact that there isn't a body there indicates the body was moved or that the person survived and I want to know who is missing from the party. RECOVERING X-23 sat and rubbed her stomach of where her wound used to be and looked at her torn outfit. I need some thread if you have any? Said X-23 Batgirl looked into her utility belt and passed it to her. "We crossed the line".Said Batgirl X-23 started sewing and ignored her. "Did you her me Laura? We crossed the line!" Said Batgirl. X-23 exhaled in annoyance. "How?" He was an evil man and we took care of it. You were the one who killed him anyway not me. It would have been alot worst than using a death touch. We stepped on toes! Said Batgirl. That was Batmans bad guy to deal with. The same goes for Sabretooth and Wolverine. It's the principle Laura. THERE IS NO PRINCIPLE CASSIE!!!! shouted X-23. The Joker was a mad dog that needed to be put down and Batman wasn't the hand to do it. He just kept sending it to the pound! Batgirl snapped back "Laura how dare you?" The way that you and your "X-Force" Manuever is different than Batman Inc does. I was with you because sometimes there is evil that isn't meant for jail but The Joker is a delicate case simply because Batman and him has history and worst than that we kill him together IN GOTHAM! So may I ask you a question "Batgirl"? Said X-23 Yes. Said Batgirl So if Adolf *uncreative* was killed in Mexico do you think the Allies would have minded? Said X-23. "This is not war Laura." Said Batgirl. We are not soldiers. Were heroes! X-23 stood up quickly and gestured to Cassandra to be quiet. She kicked through the wall and it sent Robin flying into the hallway wall. She then grabbed him by the neck and held him up. "You better have a good reason for spying on us kid" said X-23. Batgirl ran over and grabbed X-23. I know him. What the hell are you doing here Damien? X-23 put him down as he caught his breath. You guys are in trouble! Said Damien. By who? said Batgirl. By Batman and the Network. He ran a DNA test on the blood at the crime scene and it linked to your friend here! Shit! Said Batgirl. "You came here to warn us?". No. Replied Damien. Just to give you guys a head start because Batman is going to come for you. He traced the deaths to Deathstrike, Deathstroke, and The Joker. You guys were on a roll huh? I don't care that you killed any of them but HE does. and he wants you to explain youselves and he has sent out the whole Network to bring you in. Sorry but I don't answer to anyone! Said X-23. And if Batman thinks he can scold me as if I were a child he has another thing coming. "We just have to talk to him and come clean". Said Batgirl. I cant take that risk. Mutant relations with humans are already bad and having me implied in the death of these people goes against what X-force stands for. We do covert operations with no witnesses and having Batman with intel about it wont sit well with my team said X-23. So what then your going to kill him? Replied Batgirl. "No" Said X-23. I just have to leave and return to my team before I be forced to have to deal with him. This is exciting! Said Damien. BATMAN COMES It was fun while it lasted but I have to..... (She stops immediately and sniffs) Damn it he's here. We hav................(a explosion blew the wall and windows from the building and Batman and Nightwing swung in.) "This ends now" said Batman. Cassandra how could you do that? Hold on she did what you didn't have the balls to do! Snapped X-23. "Gotham is mine and you do not operate under the bat symbol and take lives". As far as you are concerned LAURA leave Gotham NOW! Well if you ASK politely me and Cassandra will leave. Said X-23. "You heard the man! We are more than capable of taking you down if need be". Said Nightwing. Batgirl looked around and told X-23 that they should leave. X-23 stared at Batman as she walked out giving Cassandra time to talk with Batman and Nightwing. I'm sorry. We got ahead of ourselves. We shouldn't have do......(Batman interrupts) "GET THE HELL OUT OF GOTHAM". Do not come back The Joker was mine! You knew that! X-23 walked back in the room to grab Batgirl. "He isn't listening cassie let's go" Said X-23. Casually looking over her shoulder she says "Too bad we were the ones who had to clean up Gotham" with a slight smile on her face. Batman became enraged but before he could react Nightwing grabbed X-23's arm. "I don't know who the hell you think you are but you don't know anything little girl" said Nightwing. You shouldn't have done that "Nightwing"! said x-23 and elbowing him in the nose. Batman quickly punched her and went for another punch and Batgirl grabbed his arm. "Stop it"! Dick provoked her said Batgirl. Batman then spin kicked her of which her casually blocked. "Stop it please don't force my hand" Said Batgirl. Nightwing then punched her in the stomach and was going to kick her until X-23 stabbed him in the side. "I told you you shouldn't have done that". I hit no major arteries but next time I..... Nightwing took out one of his sticks and smacked her across the face with it. "Now your options are gone!" said Nightwing. He is then tackled by X-23. Batman radios to the rest of the Network. "All points converge on Cassandra and X-23"
