Dick's pov:
It was good that Marinette and Tim gave me a break yesterday. Because to day was exhausting. Tim couldn't even go to work.
We had been following tips all day running across the whole city. Two face was up to something. His goons have committed thefts all around the city. We were all gathered in the bat cave.
Steph paised around "He is building something.", "But what? " I asked. "Let's collect the locations and items." Tim said. "A radio controlled switch from the radio station."Jason said with his arms crossed. "Cass and I were at the old scrap yard. They stole a big mettle cylinder. "Tim said and Cass nodded.
"Grayson and I got told that they stole timing circut board." Damian said.
Tim turned pale " Guys I think they are building a..." a call interrupt. Bruce appeared on the giant screen.
"I'm at the research lab a container got stolen....", " (The name of some highly explosive chemical. I don't know) " Tim said. "How did you know?" I asked. "Because they are building a bomb." He said. But why would he do it all in one day? If he had stolen things every few days we maby wouldn't have connected that so fast. I pushed the thought aside.
Tim already looked at the Street cameras and we figured out the meeting point. "Let's get to work. " I mumbled.
We drove of to the warehouse where the bomb was waiting for us. Bruce met us there. We arrived just in time to see it almost being finished. As we snuck up behind some giant box one of the goons said "Now we only need to fill in the chemical."
Before we could make our next move someone spotted us. "The bats! Quick grab the container! Diversions go!" One of them screamed.
Suddebly three guys with identical metal containers ran towards three different SUVs.
"You've got to be kidding me!?" Jason screamed.
"Spoiler, Orphan you stay and deal with destroying the bomb. I'll go after one SUV the others spilt up in two and follow the others." Bruce said already running of.
"On it." We said in unison.
It took us a long time to catch them but we brought all of them back to the warehouse and got the right container.
Tim grimaced.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"This was way to easy." Tim said. "So what? Maby two face is losing his touch. I'm not complaining." Jason said.
"No he is trying to win time.", "What are you...?", "Just think about it. The spread out clues, the bomb, and now this wild goose chase all of it is staged." Tim said. He was right. "How come we didn't realise earlier?" I asked.
"Because they didn't give us time to breath. "Bruce said.
Tim walked over to one of the goons laying on the ground and picked him up by the collar "What game are you playing? ". The goon began to laugh but got cut off by a punch straight in the face.
"Red!" I tried to step in but Jason grabbed my shoulder. "Let him deal with it.".
"Why all this ? What's your goal?!" He asked gripping the collar tighter.
"We need you as far away as possible." The guy gasped. "From what?! ", "W-Wayne enterprise."
Tim's pov:
"What are you talking about!?... Spit it out!" I screamed shaking him by the collar.
The goon had a scared expression, blood dripped down his mouth,
"S-Something ab-about a file that ended up there by a-accident. The B-Boss and s-scare crow are after it but we don't know why. I swear." He wheezed.
I froze.
"Alright that's enough." Bruce said trying to loosen my grip.
"Red? What's wrong?" Dick asked. "S-she's there and it's my fault. "
Marinette's pov:
I hate the archives. Most depressing place to work in. The entire top floor of the building with 4 small windows filled with a maze of giant shelves stacked to the brim with old files.
I had made myself comfortable somewhere in the back between the shelves with my earphones in while I worked but something felt off. Usually there would be someone stopping by every so often to check in.
It's been almost two hours since the last time. I took my earphones out and got up.
When I was about to pack up for the night I heard the door open and lots foot steps.
"Oh f**k. Boss we have a problem." A deep voice said.
"I-I led you to the archives. You p-promised you'd let me go." A panicked voice said. Mr Pug.
I heard another person coming in.
"What!? Are you telling me you waisted 2 hours searching through computer files and you actually have to go through all of these!! The bats have realized that it was a diversion and are on their way!!".
"We're sorry sir the intell wasn't specific if it was digital or not." The first guy said.
I heard a loud 'BANG!' and then a thud.
"You! Get him out of here! You two gard the door! And you!.." I heard Mr Pug grunt.
"You're going to help me find that file!","But-but I have no idea of the filing system." He explained desperately.
"Then who does!!".
Don't don't say it.
"Emmm ah M-Marinette Dupain-Ceng! Yes miss Dupain-Ceng she got pretty familiar with this place.".
You stupid...
"Where is she!?","I-I don't know. She's supposed to be here maby she's down with the other e-employees."
"You! Take him! Let him bring you to her! And get her up here! Now!".
I tried to retreat slowly and bumped into a shelf. A few files fell to the ground.
"Did you hear that?" A guy asked. "N-no." Mr. Pug said.
"Shut up. I did."another answer. "Maby miss Dupain-Ceng isn't with the others."the Boss said.
I heard foot steps starting to come my way.
"Miss Dupain-Ceng? Perhaps you got a wrong first impression of me.
My name is Harvey Dent. You may know me as two face. I apologise if me shooting my henchmen scared you.
I promise I usually give people a fair chance but I'm running a bit out of time here you see."
The Boss said as I heard his voice wandering. The other henchmen where also walking between the shelves.
I managed to sneak past one henchmen.
"The problem is I'm not just running out of time but also out of patience." He said coming closer. I back up slowly and suddenly felt a pair of hands grab me.
