Chapter 14

Batman sat in front of his supercomputer in the Batcave, watching the footage his satellite captured of Rick running around the city. On the screen, the purple trail was moving around the city at expressly fast speed, making Batman wonder how his body can handle moving at such speed.

"Computer, calculate his speed." Batman said, watching the screen.

[Rick Brandon is moving at Mach 1.5 and rising]

Batman's eye mask widens after hearing that before he went into deep thought. "If he keeps getting faster, it will be harder to handle him in the future. I have to take care of him soon..." Batman stood up and started walking toward his Batmobile. "Computer, scan the city and tell me the best spot a criminal like that can be hiding. I need to prepare."

-Rick POV-

"Come on. Tell me where the base of operation of the guy named mister freeze is?" I asked, looking down at the man in front of me. "Don't tell me, and you will die like your friends."

"I d-don't know where he is. He disappeared some months ago after failing a heist at Gotham Museum of Antiquities. I think he was stopped by Batman, Nightwing, and the new Robin." The man said with a shaky voice as looked at me.

"Not a good answer... Wait, what's that smell... Don't tell me." I moved back from the man and looked at him in disgust. "You shit yourself. What the hell is wrong with you people. The last guy pied his pant and now you? Disgusting."

I didn't even continue asking questions and ran away, living 9 people dead in the alleyway and 1 person who shit himself. I ran around the city, asking people where Mister Freeze was before getting a lead. He was sent to the Gotham State Penitentiary after being caught by Batman, Nightwing, and Robin during his last heist.

Haa. Now I have to break someone out of prison. That should be easy. I turned around and ran straight to where I remembered the penitentiary being after memorizing the map of Gotham.

After some time, I reached the wall of the Penitentiary but didn't stop running, and instead, I made a big leap and jumped over the wall, into the Penitentiary. Once I landed, the prison alarm started going off, but I didn't care and ran for the front door of the main building.

As I was about to reach it, I heard a gunshot and easily dodged all the bullets coming my way before deciding that just running on and running out won't do, so I ran to every single guard, guarding the Penitentiary and snapped all their neck.

The noisy place, filled with gunshot and scream became silent with only the wailing of the siren. I searched the pocket of the dead guards and found a card key. Taking it to the front door, I scanned it and it opened.

Once the door opened, I heard many gunshots and I looked ahead of me. They were many guards, lined behind the front door with their gun pointing at me. The bullets were slowly moving toward me so I decided to show off.

I caught all the bullets they shot at me and kept catching the thousands of bullets that came at me. After all their bullets were done, I looked at their shocked faces and shrugged.

"It seems that your bullets weren't fast enough." I said, before emptying the pocket of my black tracksuit and all the bullets came pouring out. "Now, it is my turn."

With a quick burst of speed, I move through the guards, snapping each of their necks then immediately ran to the front desk. No one was there so I looked through the log of all the prisoners before finding Mister Frost prison.

I ran to his cell, meeting many more guards along the way but quickly dispose of them before they could do anything. His cell was a big freezer with one small window on the door and a temperature below 0 degrees. I looked within the cell and saw Mister freeze sitting within, staring at me.

Found you.

Before opening the cell, I ran to a place they stored his suit, which looks like a spacesuit but bulkier. The body was protected by a thick green overall. The hands and feet were protected by white gloves and boots and a steel helmet with a glass visor. There was also a gas tank on its back.

and came back, scanned the key card and the door opened, a wave of cold air hit me and I had to vibrate to keep warm.

"Take your suit, we are leaving," I said, throwing it to him.

Captain cold looked at me before standing up and moving to his suit. "Did Penguin finally send someone to bring me so I can continue 'cleaning' for him?"

"Just put on your suit." I said before running away to get his weapon.

It was a big gun that looked like a shotgun, connected to a large tank with chemicals within. I brought it back to his cell and saw he was done putting on his suit and gave it to him. He took it from me, put it on, and started walking toward the entrance.

As he walked past the hallway, before entering the lobby, where he saw many dead guards laying on the floor with all their necks broken. Mister freeze looked back at me before asking, "You did all this?"

"Yes." I answered, going up to a guard and snatching a glowing necklace he was wearing, and putting it in my pocket.

"So why does Penguin need me when he has such a good asset?" Mister freeze asked, turning around and pointing his cold gun at me. "To kill me for killing his people? To force me to create an Ice gun for him? I wonder why?"

I looked at him, then at the gun, then back at him. "Haa. I knew this won't be easy."
