Chapter 4

Batman braced himself and heard his earphone click glaring at the killer, he was unstable and enjoyed getting hurt.

"Alfred"

"Master Bruce, I'm dreadfully sorry, I'm not in a good place right now... literally"

"You put him in the tube"

"No, he's a substitute till I get ba_"

Deadpool tottered when Batman punched him with a heavy blow across the face,

"I thought we were amigos_"

He stepped back and dodged the batarangs "Look, I fight for justice too"

"Justice does not align with vengeance" Batman said with a gruff voice.

He caught Damian's foot but not the other and gasped "Okay, now you're pissing me off. Don't judge me, your son was in the League of Assasins and he's slaughtered people and why is Alfred so against anyone cursing in front of him, I mean he's killed people!"

He spoke as he was in a fistfight with Batman, Batman groaned when his hand twisted his abdomen fatally and hobbled back while Damian took a leap on his back and his knees jabbed deep on his head to the floor.

"He's reformed would be a suitable statement. He knows who we are" He said to Batman.

"I kinda do but with the competition, you guys aren't so slick on cinema_"

"What are you ranting about now?!" Damian cut in.

Batman recovered and grabbed him in a deadly elbow lock with Deadpool's hand above his head tapping it then cursed at the holes on his palm, the second barely a circle as it chipped off flesh from in between his fingers.

"Are those ears sharp or is it just me being reckless?"

"Okay, I'm tapping out" He kicked Damian away like a plush toy, it sucked when Batman was fighting him, he could just spill the beans and watch them break down, he guessed the universe was so imbibed in them that it would be easy to do so.

"I'm one of the good guys!" He hated to admit

"You're a danger to society and yourself"

Damian said with a firm voice while he was still trapped in the lock.

"Ouch, okay, someone's an angry bird"

Damian raised his sword and Deadpool waved his hand with round eyes.

"WAIT!...oh, I just threw up in my mouth...alright, I come from a universe where killing's not also taken seriously, I mean if the Avengers are on a chase, what happens to those people in the car?"

He tapped on the tube where Alfred used to be, watching them talk but their voices were muffled, it was just Batman and Robin talking.

"This guy's a looney. Is he with Slade? or did he escape from Arkham a little earlier than the others? Maybe the Flash has been messing with the timeline again" Damian suggested on the seat looking into the data Batman gathered, he tapped a psychological profile of him, the man's face made him feel a little guilty.

"He shows psychopathic tendencies and hyper activeness and a staggeringly lenient attention span"

"So ADHD, you coulda just said ADHD" He grimaced when Batman's eyes narrowed, Damian cleared his throat.

"Right...schizophrenia as well and depression"

"That explains his annoying comedy routines, but do you have intel where he's from?"

Batman turned to Deadpool while he was screaming 'Tomorrow is only a day aw_' the curtains dropped on him and then focused on the question at the moment trying to figure it out.

"I don't know"

"It's left for us to ask him although he can't be trusted"

"I know that," He said knowledgeably reading in between the lines, they were only left with that option. He touched his bandaged abdomen and Damian tilted his head quirking an eyebrow at him, the killer must have done a lot of damage for Batman to be touching his side like that, as he knew it, father endured physical pain better than anyone else, even himself.

Batman worked through the pain to pull down the curtains where Deadpool posed in the glass like a stripper, what a great time to embrace his feminine side, he just got bored plus the black colour of the drape was drab.

"I was about to hit D minor when you dropped the curtains. Okay okay let's get serious, I'm also very much against killing if you checked DuckDuckgo...I don't kill innocent people, not as much I want to I meant to say_alright that's enough. Get it together Wilson"

His hand formed a circle hitting his head then sighed.

"Okay, I was blipped here by a silver man, FYI his name is not Norrin Radd" He whispered.

"Tell me more" Considering the team he worked with, a silver man with a surfing board made of unknown constructs of a cosmic entity who was just lucky enough to possess godlike abilities he would scruple to admit. He did catch a glimpse of the man that travelled out with lightning speed.

"I'll be gracious enough to take you back to Arkham if it's still standing"

"Please don't, I've been to one of those and it

wasn't pretty_"

"Batman, there's been a bombing at Gotham national bank" They turned to Batwoman on the monitor filming the outbreak then turned it to her face, Deadpool blew a wolf whistle at the fumes.

"The bomber screwed himself over before I could get to him"

"Damn," Damian said "Looks like it's not over yet"

"Slade escaped us tonight, I'm afraid Robin's right"
