Becoming Batman

Serious

I ran behind a curtain and came out in the Batman costume. I slid into the swivel chair and started to type on the computer, not a moment later Jason came up behind me fully dressed. Star then stood on my right and I scanned the Arkham security system to see how Joker and Slade... I mean Deathstroke... broke out." Looks like Deathstroke threw a knife at the guards and when he unlocked cell, he took out the cameras. I'm guessing after the cameras were disabled Deathstroke broke out Joker, at least Harley didn't have to do it..." I said mumbling the last part making Red Hood snicker. I smile but it fades when I look at the footage from Zucco's cell.

"Why didn't they take out the camera in Zucco's cell? Did they miss it?" Red Hood asked crossing his arms. I shook my head and sighed.

"They wanted me to see it. They killed him, look." I showed them the footage of Deathstroke beheading Tony Zucco and Starfire looked away. My stomach fell at the sight of all the blood. Before the villains left Joker looked at the camera and whispered..." I'm coming for you circus boy!" I stood up and shut the computer off." Well... at least we only have to look for two villains..." I said trying to liven the mood. I shake my head and move over to the Batmobile, hopping in the driver's seat." You coming or what!?" I say and Starfire and Red Hood race to the vehicle." Lets go find some bad guys..." I say starting up the car and spending out the other secret entrance.

We have been driving around Gotham all night and found nothing so far." We should take a break." Starfire stated and I shook my head. Deathstroke is still out there along with Joker... why can't they take this seriously!? I breath sharply.

We finally gave up and decided to watch Gotham from the security cameras. I clenched my fists and walked over to the huge computer, I sat down in a swivel chair and pulled up the live security footage. I sighed and spoke my mind.

"Joker and Deathstroke are still out there, people could die! You guys can go get ice cream or something but I have to work." I say watching all of the security cameras around Gotham at once. My eyes were moving around like crazy, to one camera and to the next.

"Sorry Starfire but... Batman is right. Both villains are highly dangerous and need to be caught. Either your in or your out!" Red Hood said pulling up a second swivel chair so he could watch the camera too. I heard Starfire sigh and she pulled up a chair as well sitting on the other side of me.

"You are a lot like Batman you know..." Star said leaning her head on my shoulder. I smirk and look at her." You are both... the serious." She said becoming eye level with me. I pull the cowel off so I just had the domino mask on. I cup her face in my hands and lean in to kiss her when Red Hood yelled out.

"Look! They're 24th and 5th. Lets go!!!" He jumped up and I did the same. I pulled the cowel back down over my face and ran over to the Batmobile, with Red Hood in the back and Starfire beside me.

"Lets go catch some bad guys."
