Episode #11 - I've Got Batman in My Basement

It's night in Gotham City and, typically, a crime is committed. Two thugs swipe a Fabergé egg and attempt to make their escape. Before they can get far, Batman confronts them.

"The boss was right." said one of the thugs.

"Yep. Took about five minutes to get this."

Not just Batman to show up out of the shadows...

"And it'll take you two five years." he said. "With good behavior."

"I couldn't have said it better myself." Megan said as well with her gun out. "Don't move, boys, you two are under arrest and for Batman and me to get the egg you two have stolen." However, before Batman can attack the thugs, a giant South American Vulture attacks him as Megan tries to warn him. "Batman! Heads up!" While Batman manages to fight it off, the thugs get away. Megan tries using her jacket to slow the giant bird down and away from Batman. "Get off him!" she kept on swinging her jacket around. "I don't want to hurt you, stupid bird!"

With Megan doing so very carefully, allowed Batman to kick the vulture off him to go flying off a building and fly away, they were fine. Only for the two thugs with the egg both manage to escape from them.

"Thank you, Megan, I just might have to owe you a date." Batman teases Megan.

"A date? Be happy the bird wasn't going to peek your eyes out. So you're welcome."

"You weren't going to really kill the vulture, weren't you?"

Like Batman had to ask Megan for her to smile at him.

"Me? I would never hurt an animal." she said to show off her gun. "See? My weapon fires powerful shots to restrain people to only slow them down, not to kill. I got a few rare bullet types I make by hand."

"Amazing...I'm glad you're not a murderous type. Any who, we better find out where the thugs went."

The only clue left behind is a bunch of birdseed for Megan to spot on her boot.

"Ah, Bruce." Megan shows it to him. "I think we found Hansel and Gretel's trail."

Batman sees the two men and the vulture had bird seeds left on the roof of the building.

"Bird seeds?" question Batman.

And for this type of clue, Megan got out her computer book to aid her partner.

"I'm on it. (What type of boss would have had bird seeds left out? Don't tell me that the vulture was raised by some bad type of person...!)"

Elsewhere, in Gotham's suburbs, two children, Sherman, and Roberta, look through a Jr. Detective kit filled with novelty spy items. As they look through it, two older boys, Frank, and Nick, show up and start hassling the couple by taking the stuff. For Roberta to defend her friend all the time from the two bullies.

"Can't you find any of your own species to play with?!" she said.

Frank takes the binoculars and sees Penguin's vulture, which he believes to be a hawk. Sherman sees it and decides that its presence is a mystery and he and Roberta follow it. The vulture flies into an abandoned birdseed factory. The children follow and spy on the thugs from the heist before. Soon the Penguin shows up and demands the egg.

"If it weren't for Scrap, you two would be feathering your nest at Stonegate Penitentiary!" Penguin said to the two thugs of his to have the special egg. "Oh, how much more doth beauty beauteous seem by this sweet egg, which we have scrambled for?"
