EXT. CONSTRUCTION SITE - NIGHT

NIGHTWING JUMPS OVER TAPEWORM WHO REACHES OUT TO GRAB HIM. NIGHTWING DASHES TOWARD TAPEWORM AND HITS HIM IN THE CHIN WITH ONE OF HIS ESCRIMA STICKS.

[Nightwing]

Tapeworm? When did you get out of jail?

TAPEWORM RECOVERS FROM NIGHTWING'S ATTACK, AND BARREL ROLLS ATTEMPTING TO HIT NIGHTWING WITH HIS TAIL HOWEVER NIGHTWING DODGES. TAPEWORM STRETCHES ONE OF HIS ARMS TO GRAB NIGHTWING'S RIGHT FOOT, TRIPS HIM, AND ATTEMPTS TO HAMMER FIST PUNCH NIGHTWING WHILE HE'S ON THE GROUND.

[Tapeworm]

Did you really think the feds could hold me? I'm the Tapeworm!

[Nightwing]

Yeah, when you say it like that it totally sounds cooler.

[Tapeworm]

Hey! You think you can mock me like that?!

[Nightwing]

Well, you are the Tapeworm!

[Tapeworm]

You're gonna pay for that!

NIGHTWING ACTIVATES A TAZER ON ONE OF HIS ESCRIMA STICKS TO SHOCK TAPEWORM'S HAND WHICH IS STILL HOLDING ONTO HIS FOOT. NIGHTWING THEN FLIPS TO HIS FEET, RUNS AT TAPEWORM, AND KICKS HIM IN THE CHEST. TAPEWORM TUMBLES BACK ACROSS THE GROUND AND NIGHTWING LOOKS TO ROBIN.

[Nightwing]

How're we looking, Robin?

[Robin]

Oh, I can't say that I'm that overwhelmed.

ROBIN USES HIS BO STAFF TO BLOCK TWO SWIPE ATTEMPTS FROM JUNKYARD DOG, PIVOTS TO THE RIGHT, AND HITS JUNKYARD DOG IN THE BACK WITH THE BO STAFF.

[Junkyard Dog]

Dog dammit! That hurt bird boy!

[Robin]

It was supposed to. I'm surprised you don't have your pack with you!

[Junkyard Dog]

With this much muscle, there's no way that we could lose. I decided that it would be best to give them a break.

[Robin]

Are you kidding? You guys are going to need all the help you can get!

JUNKYARD DOG GROWLS AT ROBIN.

[Junkyard Dog]

We'll see about that!

JUNKYARD DOG PICKS UP A LARGE BOLDER, THROWS IT AT ROBIN, AND ROBIN DODGE ROLLS TO AVOID THE ATTACK. JUNKYARD DOG SWIPES AT ROBIN KNOCKING HIM OFF BALANCE THEN TACKLES HIM TO THE GROUND. AS JUNKYARD DOG ATTEMPTS TO BITE ROBIN, ROBIN USES HIS BO STAFF AS A BIT IN JUNKYARD DOG'S MOUTH TO KEEP HIM AT BAY.

[Junkyard Dog]

(Muffled)

I'm gonna rip you to shreds!

[Robin]

I didn't understand a word of that!

ROBIN FLIPS JUNKYARD DOG OFF OF HIMSELF AND KICKS HIM BACK ACROSS THE GROUND. ROBIN AND NIGHTWING THEN STAND BACK TO BACK AS TAPEWORM, JUNKYARD DOG, AND STEELJACKET SURROUND THEM.

[Nightwing]

Alright, we might need to be a little cautious.
