BATMAN: Who Killed The Joker?

Chapter Six: Three Way Dance

Warehouse #364- Old Joker hideout- Noon

Gordon and Maggie sat in their unmarked cop car across the street as they did before only this time it was broad daylight. The warehouse door began to lift as out walked two Joker thugs. Gordon took a sip of his coffee as Maggie tapped him.

"Look.." she said as he swallowed his coffee and they ducked down.

Another box truck began pulling into the warehouse as the door lifted, entering the warehouse.

"Lets get ready to move." Gordon said as they quietly edited their vehicle as they had before and began approaching the warehouse as the warehouse door began to shut.

"Stop." Gordon said, sticking out an arm in front of Maggie as they nearly stepped out of the alleyway.

A red laser was pointed at the chest of a Joker thug inside. The laser was coming from above Gordon's head.

"What the-" Gordon began as BAM! The Joker thug went down.

"Quick! Shut the warehouse!" The thugs all shouted, the door lowering.

Gordon looked at the rooftop above and sat Deadshot in full white mask and red and black armor perched above with a mounted sniper. He fired again, dropping another Joker thug before the door finally shut. Gordon lifted his pistol, firing above at Deadshot, which drew his attention.

"Dammit. The GCPD is here!" Deadshot said on COMs back to Black Mask henchmen that were making their approach on the warehouse. Deadshot pulled out his guns and began firing in return at Gordon. Gordon ducked down behind the police car, pulling down Maggie along with him.

"GCPD this is Commissioner Gordon at Warehouse number 364. Deadshot is here as is the Joker gang. Back up is needed ASAP I repeat, backup is needed ASAP!" Gordon shouted into his CB radio.

"Affirmative, be there in approximately five minutes sir!" An officer responded. Black vans suddenly began rolling up. Three of them and out of them jumped Black Mask henchmen. Six from each van, eighteen in total, stormed the warehouse.

They broke the lock with bolt cutters and broke inside. One thug pulled the chain, lifting the warehouse door and the war was on. Gunfire raged through the street but mainly the warehouse. The Joker gang was outnumbered by double. Gunfire rained down. Gordon looked up to see Deadshot had disappeared.

Deadshot sprinted across the building, only to be dropkicked out of the sky by Batgirl.

He rolled backwards, stopping himself from falling off of the ledge of the building. She'd been tracking Black Mask gang activity and luckily had been able to track them down.

"Little girl you don't know who you're messing with." Deadshot snarled.

"You're Black Masks' hired mercenary and you're trying to help him take the spiked Joker toxin..does that sum it up pretty fairly?" She smarted off as he fired at her and she dodged, charging him and throwing a batarang at his chest.

The batarang drilled Deadshot in the shoulder as she punched him. Deadshot blocked a second punch, punching her in the stomach, firing his pistol at close range only for her to block it with her bullet proof gauntlet on her wrist. They exchanged blows in hand-in-hand combat as she kicked Deadshot backwards, straight in the chest.
