Robin's POV

Me and Batman are at the East End, where Riddler's hideout was. Batman received a voicemail from John, that he set up a crew of his, and are welcoming the Agency to fight them at the East End. He said he wanted me and Batman there to witness it. We see the banner on the old hideout that says "Welcome Agency Pigs."

Batman: He's trying to provoke them. We have to stop this.

Alfred: Be careful. Since you defended John and Y/N got you away from the Agency, you both are on Waller's most wanted list as well. Best keep a low profile.

We study what's going on. We see the Agency.

Robin: They are out in force.

Alfred: Waller won't leave anything to chance. John humiliated her on the bridge.

Batman: And then escaped with the virus.

We start sneaking. We use the cars to stay hidden. I notice one of the agents carrying a different gun...

Robin: Automatic weapon?

Batman notices.

Batman: That's extreme even for the Agency. Waller's desperate.

We continue to sneak through using the cars as cover.

Robin: Damnit, an agent is covering the entrance.

Batman: Don't worry.

Batman gets out a bat-stunner and throws it at one of the cars, causing the car alarm to go off.

Agent: What the hell?

The agent walks towards the car, allowing us to sneak in. We use our grapple guns to get to higher ground. We then see agents cornering who I assume to be John's crew, since they have clown makeup.

Agent: You don't talk, we're gonna end this right now.

Clown 1: We ain't giving him up.

Clown 2: He cares about Gotham.

Clown 3: You're all gonna pay...

Clown 2: What you and your Agency are doing here isn't right!

The Agent hits the first clown with his gun.

Agent: Tell me where John Doe is!

Clown 1: I ain't no rat.

Agent: That's too bad. Rats have a knack for survival.

He looks at another agent.

Agent: Kill him.

An agent grabs the clown and is about to shoot him. Me and Batman both jump down. Batman throws a batarang at the agent, freeing the clown. We land on our feet on the ground.

Agent: Batman. Robin.

Clown 1: These agents are crazy, Batman! Robin! They're gonna kill us!

Batman: This stops now, Agent.

Agent: Waller said you two would be trouble. That you two would protect John Doe. But I'm thinkin'... that can't be right. Doe's a monster.

Robin: John helped the Agency arrest Harley Quinn.

Agent: And then he ran off with a deadly mega-virus.

Batman: Because your boss tried to shoot him.

Agent: That was justified! You help them--you're helping him. And if you're helping John Doe... You're the enemy too.

They start shooting their guns at us. It shocks us and takes us to the ground.

Agent: Hit them again!
