The New Trinity -- Percy Jackson Batman Crossover -- The Olympian Heroes Book 4

5. Percy

The gala was being held at an art Gallery in downtown Gotham.
Even though Bruce wouldn't admit it we were only here on time to keep an eye out for the Joker. A high class Gala in downtown would be a perfect target if you were looking for money.
"So how'd it go with Harley?" I asked
"Easy" Cass shrugged
Only Cass would think going up against an insane serial killer with an axe was easy.
"Oh really?" I asked looking at Annabeth
"What?" Annabeth asked looking up
"Nevermind" I frowned
"They took her to Arkham" Cass continued "now, Joker"
I nodded since Cass had moved in with us her speech had gotten a lot better and now Bruce was considering enrolling her in school. I still thought it was a bad idea but since when did Bruce listen to me?
"Is Barbara gonna show up?" I asked
"Probably not" Dick said "she wanted to stay back and keep an eye on things. And I think Dinah have a mission tonight"
"So-o if the joker shows up then what?" Annabeth asked
"We'll figure that out as we go" Dick said
I glanced around the room, seeing a few familiar faces. Commissioner Gordon was talking to the Mayor. And I saw Tim's parents arguing about something.
Helena Bertinelli was off in the corner survaying the room. Bruce wouldn't like it if Huntress decided to make an appearance.
I recognized the faces of a few others Jean Paul Valley, Leslie Thompkins, and Bruce's cousin Kate among others.
"So do you guys have a plan?" Tim asked
I jerked my head around seeing him standing by Annabeth. They both had the same look in their eyes. The sharp look I knew too well. They were both planning something and the way they looked at my I knew I wasn't gonna have a fun night.
"Um...no" I said "but you two do"
Annabeth frowned "the start of one. Tim if we..."
"But what if he...no he could handle it" Tim continued it was like they were reading each other's minds.
"But what if the Joker doesn't fall for it"
"He's bound to come here anyway" Tim said "I think we can get him though"
"What do you have in mind" Dick asked
Annabeth and Tim grinned at me and I knew it was going to be a long night.

Twenty minutes later I was trussed up in a dress and a wig along with multiple necklaces and rings.
"Why can't Cass do this?" I asked
"Because we need her for the ambush" Annabeth said "now stop whining and get your butt outside"
I groaned before walking out a side door into the cold night.
I stumbled along like I was drunk for a few seconds before sitting down and putting my head in my hands.
"This is definitely going in the scrapbook" Barbara snickered
"Shut up" I grumbled
I heard the scuff of feet behind me about five minutes later.
"What do we have here?"
He wore his classic Purple and green. I barely glanced up when he got closer.
"That's a nice ring you got on" he took another step closer. "Ya know? Some people don't like parties very much, go out into the alley because it's just too much laughter....I hate those kinds of people-"
As soon as he said this I swung around with my fist connecting with his nose.
Blood squirted everywhere as I swung again. This time he was ready and blocked it with his forearm before swinging a punch which I dodged.
I was at a disadvantage however because I couldn't let my face be seen by him or I was done for.
Luckily the others had my back.
First it was Annabeth who threw a disk which landed on his shoulder.
He shouted as I slinked off into the shadows.
The first chance I got I threw off the wig and activated my suit.
Just in time to hear gunshots ringing out from the alley.
"Batman" I shouted
The scene around me was absolute chaos. Men in clown masks had found their way into the alley and guns were being fired in every direction.
I saw Dick fighting a guy who was wildly swinging a baseball bat.
Cass was taking men out one by one with ease. Annabeth was doing the same. Bruce was dodging the Jokers insane swinging of a crowbar he somehow got a hold of.
"Robin" Bruce turned towards me for a fraction of a second "I need-"
One of the Jokers swings landed sending Bruce flying back into a dumpster.
I reached for my new bar it was configured a lot like my old one. When I swung it out however it sprouted into three points. Like a trident, which could also be compacted into a sword. Three in one.
I swung the trident around and charged the Joker.
I made would've made contact with his right shoulder if the crowbar hadn't intercepted it. I twisted the Trident trying to knock the crowbar from his grip to no avail.
When I swung at him this time he dodged back and took a swing at me. I blocked that and elbowed his nose.
He flew back with blood streaming everywhere.
I glanced back to see Bruce staggering up.
"Robin!" Annabeth screamed just in time for me to duck under a swing from the clown.
I stepped forward and vaulted the trident forward and it made contact with his knee.
Bruce who was now standing rushed over and grabbed the joker by the neck throwing him back to the ground.
"You're done Joker" he breathed as the joker staggered up.
With a swift kick Bruce knocked him down again. Then the Joker laughed.
He started laughing like a manic. To my surprise I joined in. Why was I laughing?
"Robin?" Annabeth took a step towards me as I collapsed
Still laughing, through tears I saw the cut on my arm. Blood began soaking my suit as I continued laughing, running out of breath.
"Robin" the four faces of my friends surrounded me
"Bruce" I giggled "help"
