-{How the Bat met the Widow Part 4}-

LOCATION: Wayne Industries Tower

"Hello Gothamites!" greets a maddening voice through the static television screen,

The image on the screen suddenly stabilizes, it was a man he had a pure bleached white face, grass green hair and a very big haunting smile,

It was the Joker.

The Joker was communicating on every TV screen in Gotham the billboards outside also displayed the happy face,

We both glare at the computer screen, I could feel Bruce tense up next to me as if every muscle in his body had transformed itself into titanium  

"Things have been quite boring around here recently so I've decided to shake things up, literally therefore in the next hour I will activate my new toy so kindly donated by the government to throw quite the party, trust me folks it's going to be a real blast that is unless the Dark Knight finds me first Gotham is going to become a wasteland ha, ha, ha, ha" and with that last laugh the TV abruptly turned off as quickly as it turned on.

It felt like you could cut the tension in the room with a knife we look at each other in anticipation

"Have you got your equipment on you?" he asks me,

<Does the earth still revolve around the sun?>

I open my bag revealing my outfit and equipment

"Never leave home without it. What about you?" I ask him 

Wayne pushes a hidden switch under his desk and the large book case at the far end of his office turns around to reveal the Batman costume and gadgets neatly displayed.

I pick up one of the sharp bat-shaped objects I feel my brow raise in amusement and my lips twinge in to an amused smirk

"I meant to ask, what on earth is this?" I hold up the unusual object

"Um they're called batarangs" he appears uncomfortable and looks at the floor,

Dose he name everything bat something?

<I would later find out that he does name everything Bat something>

I smirk at him again as I duck into the cupboard to get into my gear.

I come out of the closet now in a sleek black cat suit, two golden stingers clipped onto my slender wrists and my utility belt hung perfectly on my hips whilst my red hair was finally allowed to fall freely down my back

I look at Bruce and he is now in his Batman ensemble armed with his utility belt, grappling device and a dozen Batarangs

"Ready?" he asks

"I was born ready" I reply with a sly grin

He opens up a back exit that was hidden behind another book case which leads down to the garage there are two bikes down there

I mount one of them and wonder how much money he must have had to secretly put aside to set all of this up,

I'm guessing a lot, It must be lonely not having many friends to share his life with and in a way I feel like I can relate to that 

"I think I know where he may be. He will need a great deal of height and coverage if he wants to destroy the whole city we need to go to the tallest building in Gotham"

Batman mounts the other bike "I know where he is lets go" and with that we both ride off in to a system of dark tunnels that eventually lead to a secret opening in the old subway system.
