Carrot Top

carrots, your here!

"Wing!" Dick called out. Nightwing meowed and jumped down from the top of the cat tower. "Let's go! We can't be late for this meeting!" Wing rolled her eyes and came out from the corner. "Finally..."

...

In the heart of Gotham City, a old warehouse served as an unofficial meeting place for the city's most notorious villains, The Joker. Ren and Wing were on the roof of a old building scoping out the warehouse from a far. "Looks good to me, let's go." Dick jumped down, using his grappling hook to stick the landing. Two guards stood at the door, looking down at the teen they stepped aside and held the door open for him. Dick nodded as a thank you and walked in. "Ah~ Renegade, oh and you brought the kitty cat! Delightful, join the party won't you?" A familiar voice greeted through speakers. He walked down the dark hallway and opened the door that was at the end of it.

Opening the door, he was blinded by the flashing colorful lights. He adjusted his eyes and walked in. It wasn't a meeting, it was a party! A villain party! "Of course it is..." Dick sighed, "What kind of meeting does Joker have that isn't a party?" Dick decided to make the most of it and eat as much food as he can, he made his way over to the buffet where gourmet chefs were being held hostage. "Please sir..." One of the chefs mumbled, fear in his eyes as he trembled slightly. Dick rolled his eyes," Sorry, it's not my party. Means it's not my rules, maybe the Justice League will come save you. Haha!" He laughed, walking along.

Dick grabbed a plate and piled it up with sushi, steak, fries, bread, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, poke, he grabbed other plates of pasta, alfredo , and some soup. He grabbed a couple extra plates with the chef's specialties and made his way to a table in the corner. He and Wing were in the middle of eating when he felt a similar presence nearby. "Hey little birdie~" "Slade," He greeted back. Nightwing slightly hissed at him, but melted in his pets. "Calm down kitty, what're you up to?" the older man asked, taking a seat in front of the other before taking a fry off of Dick's plate and eating it.

"Nothing... Dig up some information for me?" "On who?" "His name is Kid Flash or try Wally West," Dick said. "That hero? Why? Are you seeing him?" "I'm interested. He's cute..." Slade grabbed a couple more fries, "Sure thing little birdie, when do you need it?" "Whenever's fine, thanks." "Don't get your feelings hurt over him, you better not come here crying cause the Flash won't let you be with this little red head of yours. Don't forget how it went down with that other red head... GL was not happy. Just be glad Bats never found out." "I know I won't," Dick rolled his eyes, thinking about his past scandalous relationship. 

The two went their separate ways and mingled with the other villains, "Ren." Dick turned around, greeted with a familiar face. "Selina," He smiled. Nightwing began to rub herself on the villains leg, craving attention. "Hello, Wing. Has Ren been treating you well?" Selina asked, bending down to pet her. Wing responded with a meow, before melting into her touch. Selina scooped the villainous kitty in her hands, petting her softly. "Why are you here? I thought you didn't go to villain meetings?" Dick asked. 

"For the food, but I was also hoping to find you, I got you a gift." Dick lit up with joy, "I love gifts, what is it?" Selina handed the eager teen box. Without a second thought dick opened the box. "It's the latest hologlove technology, Bruce gave it to me, but you know. That's not really my thing so I thought you would like it. It comes with an eyepiece too, I wasn't really listening when he told me what it does but he did say you could sell it for at least a couple hundred grand." "Aww, thanks Selina! I would've stole it anyway, but you just saved me so much time. Oh I got you a gift too," Dick pulled out the golden cat statue he had stolen a while back. 

"Now this is a gift," She gently put Wing down and grabbed the statue, admiring it. "I got it on a mission for Oz. I knew you'd like it," He smiled behind his mask. "Well thats all I had to tell you, see you around Ren," With that Selina disappeared. A big timer appeared on the curtains of the stage, counting down from 60, "I'm guessing it's starting soon, let's get some more food and find a seat."

The timer had finally reached one and confetti flew everywhere as The Joker, with his trademark grin stretching from ear to ear, stood at the center of the stage, surrounded by the likes of Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and the Riddler. The room echoed with sinister laughter as the villains eagerly anticipated what the Clown Prince of Crime had to share. "Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round! I've got a plan that will light up Gotham like never before. I call it..." The Joker paused, relishing the dramatic tension, "The Light!" 

His announcement was met with a crowd of curious laughter and intrigued whispers among the gathered villains. "I've got a plan, a plan so bright, so brilliant, I call it 'The Light!' And no, it's not about illuminating the dark corners of Gotham. It's about chaos, mayhem, and, of course, a bit of fun!" The Joker continued to elaborate on his twisted vision, detailing a scheme that involved chaos, fear, and anarchy, all under the banner of "The Light." 

Unbeknownst to the villains, a shadowy figure had been silently observing from the rafters. Batman, the Dark Knight, had been monitoring the meeting from the shadows, keenly aware of the potential threat that the villains' alliance could pose. Batman, ever watchful, loomed in the background, his cape billowing in the eerie half-light. Before the Joker could reveal more about "The Light," the chamber's shadows came alive with the presence of the Young Justice team—Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis, Zatanna, Aqualad, and Kid Flash. 

Kid Flash quipped, "Looks like we've crashed the party, Batsy! What's the occasion?" Batman silenced him with a stern glance, then turned his attention to the Joker. "Your games end here, Joker. What's 'The Light,' and how does it involve these criminals?"

The Joker cackled, undeterred by the sudden intrusion. "Ah, Bats, always the buzzkill! Now why would I tell you my plan?" With that chaos issued, Batman charged at Joker, causing the rest of the villains to jump into action. In the chaos, the Young Justice team sprang into action. Artemis fired arrows with precision, Superboy used his strength to incapacitate thugs, Miss Martian employed her telepathic abilities to disorient the villains, KF using superspeed, and Zatanna with her magic. 

Batman moved like a shadow, efficiently taking down henchmen while keeping a watchful eye on the Joker. Batman, Renegade is here, orders? Kaldur said in the mindlink. Kid Flash, he is your priority, do not let him escape. Batman said with a stern voice.The room echoed with the sounds of struggle, manic laughter, and the occasional groan from a defeated villain. "Alright Wing, this is our sign to leave, grab the food!" Dick yelled over the chaos, rushing to grab plates of food, while dodging random flying objects. 

"Oh no you don't," Kid flash stopped the villain. "Carrots, you're here! How 'bout we talk about this, my hands are kinda full right now," Wally gave Dick a glare. "Ok, uh... Hey! Remember when I was helping you with your feelings, c'mon Carrots! We can fight just let me bring my food home first!" 

Without a warning Nightwing chomped down on Wally's heel, causing the hero to drop down and tend to his heel. "Haha!" Dick laughed, "C'mon Wing, Go! Go!" Dick stacked up plates on plates in his arms. "You forgot, I have super healing," Wally said, running and knocking Dick over, causing all his plates to fall. "Noooooo! Freckle's how could you! I actually thought your joke was funny and this is how you repay me?" 

Without warning Wally tied the villain up, hands and feet."Dumbass, do you need help?" Slade asked over the com. "No, take Wing to my place please, and just get me that info, I can handle this," Dick said quietly.  No response, but Dick knew that he heard him. "You're coming with me," Wally said, putting a bag on Dick's face. "Ugh! You're hiding my beauty!"
