Chapter 6

Batman knocked him off his shoulder, Anvil got to him first and his grip forced him to stop halfway, with minimal strength he was thrown into a ditch with the neurotoxin on the side of his neck.

He touched his earpiece and Robin's voice came in.

"Asking for help already?" He snorted with a harsh and dry voice.

"No, just to be clear, the prisoners and cultists are infected with the Mirakuru"

"Want me to bring the cure? Yes sir"

"Damian_" He went offline and watching out for more criminals out to cause mayhem was all he had time for, typical of Brother Blood to be using guinea pigs as super-soldiers, they seemed to be out of control and he used that means to wreak destruction.

He leapt buildings to a place where a woman at a shop surrounded by the crooks in a shop that had been broken open exposing, she screamed and he swung down to fend them off taking most out, they recovered and went on offence, he spin kicked them and had most of his bones cracked then fell to his knees when one of them punched him hard on the gut, he groaned reaching for anything on his utility belt and knocked his head to the side with his knee.

"Your toys can't save you now batsy, you're outnumbered"

They turned when the place turned mysteriously dark gaping up at the shadow with its veil outstretched over them, Robin hopped down punching the men, spit flew out of the next criminal he punched with both fists and swung his body over the biggest and locked on throwing him down. The woman screamed when he crashed on a glass box beside her and ran away when the time ensued.

Batman rolled over pushing himself up, Robin pulled out tech similar to a crossbow and shot doses of the cure at each on his radar gritting his teeth then glanced at Batman nursing his abdomen then tottering to a column of the store.

"You sure you're okay?"

"How did you get the cure?"

"I synthesized it by myself, guess you're not the only genius in the family huh_"

"Robin!"

He jumped in the way and kicked Anvil on the jaw dislocating it, Robin grimaced at the cheapshot that tried to take him out.

"By the way, Anvil's a stupid name"

Anvil plopped on the floor when he shot him for last and blew the end of the crossbow "A gift from Arrow" He smirked and helped him while they walked, there was no sign of Batwoman or Batwing. He looked up suspiciously as if he would appear then he didn't and snorted when they walked.

They stopped when the stranger jumped on a car, it dented and the glass shattered then looked up with blades coming out of his fists.

"What now?"

He leapt at Robin and more cultists were coming till they were outnumbered again, a girl was in the way by a narrow alley and Batman glanced at the crowd running to grab the girl, she sniffed and her head turned one-eighty degrees and she had the face of a puppet, her soft voice turned darker and he dropped her before she could spill gas on him and a few unlucky troopers lost their faces to the gas as it lingered hissing with smoke going up and burned off their flesh but were still climbing up after them.

There were more up ahead and Batman growled trying to climb higher, unfortunately, they grabbed his foot weighing him down.

"Father!" He grabbed him with his other hand and growled when he overstretched his shoulder trying to hold him up.

Batman let go turning to toss smoke bombs at them, someone hurled him in the air and he hit hard against a wall and fell three stories down to a garbage cart and rolled down trembling when he got up.

The smoke bombs exploded and dispersed in the air and Robin coughed trying to overlook the smoke at what caused that. Robin almost fell and stabbed the walls with his sword, pulling back his cape, he swung over it to kick the rest above him and they fell.

He glanced at the thing that hit him and grits his teeth when the robot recoiled, its lips glowed as it talked and faced him

"Naughty naughty," It said and Robin jumped out of the way when it sent missiles at him, the force of the explosion blew him out of range into a pool, he gasped and swam out of it, his jaw dropped at the explosion

"Father!" He hurried to see if there

was any hope of finding him, the explosion covered even the spot Batman was on and he shielded his eyes at the ashes looking up at the comical helicopter flying away, it was too far to get to him. He clenched his fists and dispatched the crossbow angry.

"I failed. I swear I'm going to get you, Slade, if it's the last thing I do"

He slipped into the shadows.

Meanwhile, in the Batcave, Deadpool was supposed to be home by now but it turned out this Gotham nightmare wasn't over. At least the brat wasn't home.

Alfred looked around while Dick strutted back and forth pounding his hand on a column, it dented and he looked confused for a moment and pulled it out concentrating on getting the process done.

"He's offline. Doing something stupid I suppose" He suggested and glanced at the lab pulling the door open to find the set of beakers and the Bunsen Burner was still warm, he glanced at the monitor showing a 100 per cent bond.

His eyes rounded and his jaw dropped "That little dick"

"Master Wayne has been missing for two days at most,"

Alfred announced and Dick growled, it seemed like everyone else had something important to do, if he went after those soldiers alone, he was a goner.

"He took everything, how am I gonna get there?

"Perhaps the mercenary can be of help"

"No way, he's a killer, Batman doesn't ride with killers and he put you in the tube, god knows how he'd done it" He held Alfred's shoulders then glanced at the mech suit.
