Brothers In Arms (Batfamily) - Completed

Chapter 2 ~ The Warehouse's Attack

Red Hood was standing on top of a tall building, observing what was happening at the docks which were located a hundred meters under his feet. He saw Black Mask's men fighting his own henchmen, the latter fighting back bravely. Shootings could be heard from a far distance and Red Hood saw some civilians running away from the docks, completely frightened.

The man took a deep inspiration and grappled his way through Gotham's buildings, swinging noiselessly until he finally reached the docks. Once there, he landed with a thud in the middle of the conflict and immediately started to shoot on the enemy. He shot one of the men right in the head and the man fell dead on the floor. Another thug charged at Red Hood, but he swiftly jumped in the air and landed on the man's back, knocking him out with one single powerful punch behind the head. As he was jumping on his feet again, Red Hood was projected into a nearby pile of crates. He landed harshly on the floor, exploding a few crates as his body collided violently with them.

The man grunted as he rose back on his feet. He felt an intense pain in his right arm and on his side. Some blood was dripping down his gauntlet and he noticed that he had a large piece of wood stuck in his upper arm. "Shit," he growled as he tried to take it off, but it was deeply plunged into his flesh... Suddenly, he saw a huge shadow charging in his direction. Without realizing what was happening to him, he was projected again in the air. By pure reflex, he pulled out his grappling gun and shot it into a nearby shelter. He landed on his feet and saw that his opponent was facing him. The man was huge, really muscular and immediately reminded Red Hood of Bane. Even though he had never actually fought him, he had read the files concerning him in the Batcave.

"I'm gonna smash ya!" the brute yelled and immediately charged again in Red Hood's direction. The helmeted man jumped away and landed behind the bear-like man. He punched him with all the strength he had but the man caught Red Hood's fist and blocked it. Reacting immediately, he threw a right uppercut to the man's jaw, clenching his teeth under his helmet as a jolt of pain came from his wound. The brute spat blood on the floor and smirked, "the boss told us that we could do whatever we want with ya as long as we erase you from this world".

"Your boss is underestimating me. Never underestimate me," Red Hood replied coldly as he ran towards the beast-like man and threw another punch in his jaw, the impact of his fist breaking the man's bone. The thug grunted as he held his jaw, and shot a pissed off look at his opponent. He charged once again, slammed Red Hood on the floor and started to punch him. Hood kicked the monster in the ribs. He tried to reach for one of his guns but the man above him pinned his wrists on the floor.

"What're ya gonna do now uh?" the man mocked.

"As I said, never underestimate me." Red Hood replied as he flicked his left wrist and a taser came out of his leather jacket's sleeve. He turned it on and pinned it directly in the man's face. The man held his head as the electric pulse ran through it, but it was of no use as Red Hood took advantage of this moment to draw his pistol out and shoot the man right in the forehead, a pool of blood splashing on Red Hood who obviously had a disgusted face under his helmet. He moved the man off of him and stood on his feet, his right arm killing him and sighed. The battle wasn't won for the moment as his men were still struggling against Black Mask's. He shot two other henchmen and threw a mini bomb in another group's direction. As it exploded, it killed five more of them.

As he was knocking out another thug, Red Hood saw from the corner of his eye that two others were about to kill one of his own man. He rushed in their directions, flicked his left wrist to take out the taser from his sleeve. Attacking from behind, he electrocuted to death the two thugs who fell cold to the floor.

The henchman turned around and saw the corpses and Red Hood just above them. "Thanks boss, didn't heard them coming" he said, a shocked look on his face. The helmeted man nodded slightly and saw that some of his men were now forming a circle around him, fighting back to back against the enemy.
