Young Justice: Assault on Arkham City

Chapter 10: Arkham After Burn.

The Debris Of Arkham City.
July 5, 12:10am EST.
(Robin's POV)
Once we had made it outside of Wonder Tower we could see just how bad the fall to earth really was, parts of the island had shifted during the impact and from where we stood we could see parts of the museum, half of the court house and the sign to ace chemicals. There was smoke coming from some areas and the entry bridge looked to have collapsed, to put it simply it looked as though maybe none of the rogues that were present during the fall survived it,
"With Arkham City how it is now, I'm more surprised we survived the fall" Jason says
"Wonder Tower must have been reinforced" I state
"it would explain how the room stayed in tact" Wally says
"enough, we still have work to do" Batman says with the obvious look of annoyance that you can't see but is still there
"yeah, yeah, so what are going to do now?" Jason asks as I turn on my Holo - Computer and look over BPD and GCPD information and notice that the majority of the chaos in the city has stopped
"although the ship is still over the city and Arkham City has just made the biggest mess Gotham Harbour has ever seem, the GCPD is starting to reopen major road access points into Gotham and Wayne Central Station is opening to all traffic apart from trains from other cities" I explain
"Gotham Light and Power have activated back up substations but there aren't enough to power the entire city, so they have emergency repair crews working on fixing the main substations to repair the power grid" Jason explains
"Gotham is returning to normal I guess" Flash says
"So what do we do?" Green Arrow asks
"Robin track that Hall of Doom through Gotham Internationals Radar Systems, The Joker seems to know what is going on so we're going to pull him from the rubble and get answers" Batman says as I begin to hack through Gotham Airports Radar Systems
"How do you know that bastard is still even alive?" Jason questions
"I don't but even with the reinforced room we shouldn't have survived but we did so there is a possibility that he did as well" Batman states as I look up and see everyone move towards the Ace Chemicals sign and as we move I scan the area for signs of life to which I ping back a few results
"Just so you guys know, it looks like everyone else survived" I state but apart from some glances no one says anything as we keep walking

Remains Of Ace Chemicals, Arkham City Debris.
July 5, 12:15am EST.
(Kid Flash's POV)
We walked through the debris of Arkham City and even climbed some of it but eventually we made it to the Ace Chemicals sign where we saw the remains of the building,
"so I guess the rest of the building is gone" I say
"no its just invisible" Jason says
"how have you not learnt by now not to state the obvious in front of Red Hood?" Roy questions
"sorry" I mumble
"it's fine Flash Boy" Jason says " so are we going in or not?" he asks
"let's go" Batman says as he heads through what resembles a doorway, all of us following behind him
"what about all of the chemicals?" Uncle Barry questions
"stay alert but I doubt it will be an issue" Batman answers as we walk down a ruined corridor before it opens up into a small office room with a few desks and right in front of us, sitting against the wall is the Joker with Harley next to him.

Batman motions for us to stop as he walks forwards and looms over both Joker and Harley, both of them looking up but not moving from their spots on the ground,
"hahahahaha, I see that its done" Joker smirks
"yes it is and your idea of the Legion reuniting is also done" Batman states
"what are you taking about?" Joker frowns
"the Hall of Doom is leaving the city and the rest of the rogues want nothing to do with the Legion of Doom" Batman states
"have you come to gloat then?" Joker questions
"I've not come here for that, I'm here for two things, one the things you stole and two I want to know what you know about this deal" Batman states
"well my fun is over so why not, the Light wants a weapon" Joker smirks
"what kind of weapon" Dick questions
"the human kind" Joker answers
"they want some kind of soldier?" Dick questions
"jeez Boy Wonder a bit slow aren't you" Joker smirks
"the Light wants a Talon" Jason states
"ding ding, you are correct" Joker smirks
"yes and they heard that there was one ready to go person in Gotham that was to become one, but certain circumstances changed that and now the Light want to cash in before the Court of Owls can reclaim there lost prize" Joker smirks as the sound of police boats can be heard approaching
"I found the stuff he stole" Uncle Barry says as I look over and see him next to a broken cabinet
"lets hand Joker and Harley over to the police" Batman says lifting the two to their feet
"Batman, the Hall of Doom has left Gotham Cities airspace, it accelerated not long after we entered the building" Dick states
"we'll worry about that later, for now lets get Joker and the rest of the rogues to Arkham Asylum" Batman says as he moves towards to exit.

Arkham City Access bridge, Midtown Gotham.
July 5, 12:25am EST.
(Batman's POV)
After leaving the remains of Ace Chemicals we moved the Joker and Harley onto a Police boat and other GCPD officers took the other rogues into custody and loaded them onto separate boats before a small convoy was heading to Arkham Asylum, we now stood with Commissioner Gordon over looking the remains of Arkham City and going over what had happened,
"so this whole mess was about a vial that belonged to the Court of Owls?" Gordon clarifies
"yes and they succeeded" I state
"I thought they were just a rumour" Gordon states
"they're more than that Commissioner" I state
"well anyway, thank you for what you were able to do" Gordon says
"we couldn't stop this from happening" I state
"you still made sure that the bad ones weren't out on the streets and thanks to that Gotham has calmed down again, we'll make sure that the things Joker stole from the other rogues are locked away" Gordon says walking towards his car
"at least the city is safe for now" I say
"right, head home Batman, I doubt anything more will happen tonight" Gordon states as he starts his car and heads out into city.

I turned around to the others who were waiting for me to finish and walk over to them, where they walk up to me and wait for me to speak,
"the things Joker stole are going into GCPD lock-up and the city has gone back to normal" I answer their unasked questions
"so what now?" Robin asks
"let's head home" I answer " Barry, Oliver, you two as well as Roy and Wally are welcome to spend the night" I add
"sure" Oliver answers
"why not" Barry answers as I open the door to the Batmobile
"I just realised something" Jason says suddenly
"what's that?" Wally questions
"Catwoman is gone" Jason states and as I look around she is indeed gone
"well I'm sure she's had enough fun for one night, lets head home, I have no doubt we will have a lot to do tomorrow" I state as I start the Batmobile and turn it around, Barry and Wally run Oliver and Roy towards the manor and Jason drove ahead on his bike leaving Dick and I to head back through the smouldering streets, it has been a long night but I doubt this was over not by a long shot.
