The Return of the Queens

Chapter 32

Gotham City

Bruce Wayne was at his computer in the Batcave looking at the damage that the Black Canary had done in Star City trying to find the Green Arrow. He saw that she had nearly killed a lot of the men that she had beat up when looking for her partner. This didn't sit well with Bruce because he has a do not kill policy, and even though the Black Canary didn't kill anyone she was close. He had already let this go on long enough with Artemis and Green Arrow actually killing people. Now the Black Canary looked like she was capable of doing the same. He had to at least go and try to talk some since into these people. If worse came to worse, he would take them down and turn them over to the police.

Star City

It had been nearly five days since Oliver had been freed from Chase captivity and he was getting better and better by the day. He still was not ready to get back out in the field yet, but her probably would be within the next few days.

Laurel, meanwhile, was at her campaign office getting ready for some events that she had planned for the day. First, she had to go and talk to the Firefighter union and then the Police union. She then had to go and make a speech at the teacher's union as well. She knew that this was going to take a lot of her time and she was ready for that because she knew what the city needed right now, and that is someone who will work for everyone, not just the rich or the poor.

After she had finished with everything that she had to do for the day, she made her was to the bunker and got ready to go out on patrol with the rest of the team. Oliver was in the bunker, but he was just there for support if Felicity needed any help.

Once the team went on patrol, they all split up so that they would be able to cover more ground. Laurel was on patrol in the good section of Star City. She knew she was giving this area because not much was going to happen, and the team knew that she was tired from all the events that she had to go to that day while running for mayor. She wasn't going to argue though because she knew that she really was tired.

She was on the rooftop of a building listening for any trouble when she heard something behind her. She turned around and was surprised at who she saw standing there.

"So, what do I owe the pleasure of you being here Batman?" Black Canary said as she made sure that her comms were on so that the team could get to her position if something went wrong here.

"Well, I am here because I needed to talk to you about what you did the other night when trying to find your partner." Batman said.

"Ok, what is it that you want to say?" Black Canary asked.

"I was just disappointed that you came close to killing people when you were questioning them. I might beat the shit out of people and leave them with broken bones, but I do not kill. I just thought you were better than that, because you had never gone that far before." Batman said.

"I appreciate your concern, but that is really none of your business. You have your own city to protect. I suggest you get back to it." Black Canary said.

"Sorry, but if you are going to look at things in the same way as Green Arrow and Artemis, who I have been watching for a long time, I will have to stop all of you. I can't allow people to go around killing people in the name of justice. That make you no better than the criminals." Batman said.

"So, what are you going to do? Take me down and turn me over to the police?" Black Canary asked.

"I don't want to but if that is the way it has to be, then yes that is what I am going to do." Batman said.

"And who made you responsible for this city? You normally just stay in Gotham. Why the change?" Black Canary asked.

"I can't let you and your team continue to get away with the way you have done things. No one else can stop you, so it will have to be me." Batman said as he attacked the Black Canary who blocked his move.

Black Canary had really improved her skills in hand-to-hand combat since she had started being a vigilante a few year ago. She was probably the best on the team at it because she worked harder than any of the others, so she was able to hold her own against Batman.

"We're all here. Just let us know when you want us to join in." Artemis said through the comms.

Laurel looked behind Batman and saw Artemis, Batgirl, and White Canary coming into view. Roy was not there tonight; he had the night off.

It looked to be an even fight so no one had the upper hand. Laurel was starting to get tired of the fighting, so she said "Now!" Into the comms and her other teammates attacked, which through Batman off because he was so focused on Black Canary that he didn't realized that the others were there. It was a short fight after that. When Batman was knocked on the ground, Artemis shoot a bolo arrow at him and tied him up.

"So, what is it that you were really trying to do here, Batman?" Artemis asked.

"Your team is just going around and killing people or at least getting close to killing people. I couldn't let you do that anymore." Batman said.

"Well, that seems to have worked out really good for you. I mean you are on the ground tied up and the worst part about it is that you got beat up by a bunch of girls. I bet that makes you feel really good doesn't it?" Artemis asked as she was laughing.

"Well, I was expecting a fair fight, and that was not what I got." Batman said.

"Well, we do whatever it takes to get the job done. If it means all of us have to get in the fight, then that is what we do. That is why it is good to have a team." Black Canary said.

"I guess we will just have to agree to disagree with that." Batman said.

"Ok, so we will let you go if you leave now and promise to never come back unless we call you." Artemis said.

"I am not going to leave until I stop you murderers. I can't let what you have been doing go on any longer." Batman said.

"Does anyone have their phone on them?" Artemis asked.

"Yeah, I have mine right here." Batgirl said as she took her phone out and gave it to Artemis.

Artemis went to set the phone up and turned it to video so that the phone taped everything. "America, this is Artemis from Star City. Batman came to our city tonight because he doesn't agree with the way we do things here. Well, I thought that you would find it interesting that he just got his ass handed to him by four girls. We also thought that you might want to know who is behind the mask. I know I would." Artemis said.

She reached down and grabbed the top of Batman's cowl and pulled it off revealing that Batman was none other than Bruce Wayne. "Well, would you look at that. Looks like Gotham's Dark Knight is none other than Bruce Wayne. I have to say, I didn't expect that." Artemis said.

Artemis then went over and turned the video off and watched it to make sure that everything was there, and it was. "So, are you going to leave now, or do we have to post this video? It will be all of the nation within the next hour." Artemis said.

"You win. I will leave." Batman said and Artemis and Black Canary came forward and released Batman who walked to the edge of the roof and jumped off and was gone.

"Well, that was definitely and interesting night. I think we should keep the video in case he decides to be anymore trouble." Black Canary said.

"I agree. We have blackmail on him now. We can use it to get what we want from him." Batgirl said.

"Alright, let's head back to the bunker and see if we can get this video to everyone on the team in case, they need it one day." Artemis said as they all left to go back to the bunker.

A/N: The storyline with Oliver getting kidnapped and Laurel going rogue and also the Batman coming to town to stop the vigilantes was the idea of highlander348. I would like to thank them for giving me the idea and I hope that I did a good job with it. Leave reviews to let me know what you think, and I would like to thank everyone for reading.
