Penguin and Edward go to the peer and walk up to a fisherman. "Hey, I need a favor," Penguin says walking up to a man standing by a boat with a net full of fish. "Yes, Sir"? he asks. "This isn't about taxes, is it"? he asks. "No, I need a ride to an island," Penguin says. He pulls out a piece of paper from his jacket and shows it to the man "I want to go there" he says. "You will have to ask Franky Smoly, he is three boats down, he will help you" he says. "Thanks so much" Penguin says with a smile. "Come Edward" Penguin says as he walks to the boat and Edward follows. Penguin shows the man the note and tells him where he wants to go and the man nods and takes them and then drops them off at the island. "ill be waiting for your return" the man says as he stays in the boat and Edward and Penguin get off and walk onto the island.

The Island had lots of trees and plants everywhere and didn't like anyone had really lived on it. "Feel like we might get bit by something that can kill us here" Penguin says. "I have to agree with you there Mister Penguin" Edward says as they walk around the island. They find an old man with no short and graying hair and pants building a fort in the middle of the island. He looked scruffy and had a beard. Penguin walks up to the man "Hello"? he asks. The man turns around "Ay, don't I know you? You are Mister Penguin" the man says. "Yes, you are"? Penguin asks. "Alfred" he says. "We all got together to save Bruce before" he says. "Yes, I do remember that" Penguin says. "We are here for Bruce" Penguin says. "What? YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS"! The graying man says grabbing Penguins arms intensely. "No, someone gave me this island and tell me he would be here" Penguin says. "I was kidnapped and we were separated" Alfred says. 

"Well, I guess you don't know, do you have any idea, should we search the island then? Maybe they know" Penguin says. "There are a native people which live here, they might be able to help you" Alfred says. "Good, come with us then" Penguin says as they search for a missing Bruce....Talking with the natives of the island they had said that they have seen a few people who wear owl masks. They showed Oswald, Edward, and Alfred a secret entrance where the members of the Court of Owls would go through. Its entrance is right behind a waterfall and there's a path that leads up to a metal door. Edward studies the door to see if he can open it. Oswald asked him, "Well? Can you get it open?""Sigh, sadly I can't," said Edward, "Take a look at this." He pointed at a hand print scan that's beside the door. "We're going to have to wait for a Court of Owls member to come by and open the door.""We don't have that kind of time to just wait!" said Alfred, "Master Bruce is in there, and who bloody knows what those blokes are doing to him!""Well you got a better idea?!" said Oswald who's feeling irritated.

Edward said, "Look the only option I see is waiting for someone to come by and then ambush them to get them to open the door.""Oh alright alright, fine!" said Alfred. "Then we better find a hiding spot while we wait."...Bruce woke up laying down on a black bed in a white room. He sat up rubbing his temples to rub away a headache he gained from being drugged earlier. He looks around the room and get's out of bed to try opening the door. He sighs in disappointment when it was locked. Bruce said to himself, "Of course, why on earth would they even let this door be unlocked?"Bruce looks more around the room, and when he looked up he saw a vent small enough for him to climb through.

 He grabs a chair to stand on the spot where the vent is to reach it. He dug through his pockets to find some loose change and brings out a penny. Once he used it to start loosening up one of the screws he heard the door opening. To act fast he jumps off the chair, grabs it, and throws it at the man who entered the room.Once the man was distracted Bruce took the opportunity to run past him to escape. Before he could even get passed the end of the hallway, another man tackled Bruce down coming from the hallway on the right. They both hit the floor and as Bruce struggles the man pinned him down and cuffed Bruce's wrists behind his back. Bruce demanded, "GET OFF ME!!" The man just roughly picks him up to make him stand.The other man who Bruce threw the chair at rushes over and said, "Thanks for catching him."The other man said, "No problem, just keep more of an eye on him, alright?""Yeah, come on you brat."The man grabbed Bruce's arm and drags him down the hallway to bring him to a lab. 

A blue haired man wearing a lab coat walks over to Bruce and smiles, "Hello, Bruce. Did you had a nice nap?""Who are you?" asked Bruce."I'm Dennis, I'll be your doctor from here on out. Which means you are under my care until the Court of Owls figures out what to do with you." Dennis looks at the man who's still gripping Bruce's arm, "Although quick question, Markus. Why is Bruce handcuffed?"Markus said, "He tried to escape.""Oh, but still I don't think it's needed. Take them off.""Yes, sir."Once they were off Bruce rub his wrists to relieve the pain the handcuff caused. Dennis said, "There we go, now if you don't mind. I would like you to get on the table over there. I need to take a tissue sample.""What for?" asked Bruce."I can't tell you. It's a secret, but maybe one day they might let me tell you. But for now, it's a secret. Now, if you please?"Bruce looked at the table then sighs as he reluctantly gets on top of it. Dennis smiles as he said, "Now, let's begin."...It's been about a good 30 minutes that they were waiting for someone to come by. When they saw a man wearing an owl mask. Oswald, Edward, and Alfred quickly jumped him and knock him out to use his hand to open the door. Edward smiles as he said, "And now we're in. Let's go."
