Three days. I've been grounded for three days. You'd think there would be something fun to do in a mansion this big, but nope. There were a bunch of cool cars and bikes, but all that had to do with going outside, which was something I'm not supposed to do. That left me training with Damian and Dick. Not fun by the way. But now I couldn't even do that, since they were all out on patrol, though they were surprisingly late.

"I'll go check in with Alfred," I said aloud before jumping off my bed and walking out of my room. "Alfred!" I called, walking through the mansion. I felt something rub against my ankle and a small purr. I looked down to see the cat Alfred rubbing against my leg. "Wrong Alfred," I chuckled, picking him up and holding him close to my chest. "Alfred!" I approached the entrance to the Batcave entrance. I opened the small painting covering the handprint reader before pressing my hand against it. I watched as the bookshelf opened into a long stairway. "Alfred!" I called, climbing down the stairs. "I'm getting bored Alfred! Let's play a game or something!"

"Miss Y/n!" Alfred exclaimed as I reached the cave. "You're not supposed to be down here!"

"Alfred what are you-" My eyes widened as I approached Alfred, who stood in front of the Batcomputer. "Oh no..." I placed Alfred the cat on the ground. The screen showed both Dick and Damian unconscious across a building, Bruce standing across a man with a red facemask. The man had the Joker tied up behind him and a gun pointed at Bruce. "No!" I yelled, stepping forward. "What are these coordinates?" I asked, looking at Alfred.

"I can't tell you miss," he said, but fear shone brightly in his eyes.

"Computer," I said, grabbing a helmet. "What are the coordinates of Batman?"

"Crime Alley, Gotham city, building unknown," the computer said.

"Miss Y/n I can not let you out of the cave," Alfred said, pressing a button on the computer.

"Sorry Alfred," I said, teleporting to the Batcycle. I started it before driving toward the closed garage door. I closed my eyes tightly, gripping the handles before teleporting, motorcycle and all. I let out a grunt and opened my eyes as I landed on the pavement. "Hang on Bruce."

I turned off the road and into Crime Alley, stopping the Batcycle behind a garbage can. I grabbed the helmet, feeling droplets of rain fall on my hair and exposed skin. I teleported to the nearest building, looking around. Then I noticed the shining red helmet three buildings away. I clenched my fists before teleporting behind the man. I ran at him, jumping up and wrapping my legs around his neck. He let out a strangled yelp as I pulled him back, making him fall over.

"Oh there's another one," Joker said as I rolled away from the man. I teleported in front of Bruce.

"You're not supposed to be here," Bruce said as the helmet man jumped up.

"I wasn't going to sit at home while my family is getting the shit beat out of them," I growled, grabbing a bat-a-rang from his belt and throwing it at the man's helmet, only for it to rickashay off and land in the cement in front of the Joker.

"How many little sidekicks have you collected?" the man asked, pulling out a gun. "Making sure to stock up in case another one ends up like me?"

I teleported in front of him, grabbing his wrist and twisting it with my body before elbowing him under the chin, making his head point up. I gripped his gun before teleporting in front of Bruce again, pointing the gun at the man.

"Viper!" Bruce yelled from behind me.

"Viper?" the man chuckled. "She understands what needs to be done."
