No More Games

Y/N's POV:

I'm now in the cave with Alfred after learning that there are assassins hunting me

I look more into the drone to see who it belongs to

After some more checking, I see that the drone belongs to someone named The Penguin

I search in the database to see if this Penguin has a real name

Looks like Penguin's real name is Oswald Cobblepot, he used to work for Kingpin

The drone's GPS indicates that its next waypoint was a rendezvous with his men in Hell's Kitchen. I'll make them talk

Later that night, I arrive at Hell's Kitchen and see some thugs gather around next to a Christmas tree

One of them sits on Santa Claus' chair and is wearing a Santa hat, he must be in charge

I drop down and fight them all

Now it's just me and the punk in the Santa hat

Loose Lips: Wait, no!

I grab him by the neck and lift him with one hand

Y/N: Where's the Penguin?

Loose Lips: I...don't...know

He passed out, I must have exaggerated on the grip

Y/N: Damn...

Alfred: I think you might have put too much pressure, sir.

Y/N: Thanks a lot, Alfred.

A few moments later, I take him to a nearby rooftop and wait for him to wake up

Y/N: Wake up!

Loose Lips: Huh? Wh-what happened?

He then sees that he's being held upside down with me holding his foot

He screams in fear 

Y/N: Time to talk, where's Cobblepot?

Loose Lips: Let me go!

Y/N: If you insist...

I let go of his foot, but the cable attached to his foot prevents him from falling

I pull him back up

Y/N: We can do this all night long.

Loose Lips: Okay, I'll talk! He's going to host his yearly boiler deck fights in the Final Offer tomorrow night. I swear, that's all I know.

Y/N: Thank you for your cooperation.

I let go of him once again, but this time he lands on the Christmas tree, softening his fall

Loose Lips: You're crazy! You're friggin' crazy, man!

After that, I return to the cave to look into more of the Final Offer

Y/N: Alfred, does the name Final Offer ring any bells?

Alfred: It's an old ship

I get to the computer and pull some files on the Final Offer

Y/N: Old ship that's now being used as a club. Cobblepot's the owner.

Alfred: Sir, you must remember that Ms. Bishop is coming back tomorrow.

Y/N: Yeah, I know.

Alfred: And are you planning on telling her that there are eight assassins hunting you?

Y/N: I'm sure she'll understand.


The morning after:

After sleeping peacefully, I wake up and head downstairs to see that Alfred is cooking breakfast

Y/N: That smells great.

Alfred: Waking up early, I see.

Y/N: If you consider 9 A.M early...

Alfred: It's early for you.

After that, I hear the doorbell ring

Y/N: I'll get it.

When I answer the door, I see Kate and the dog

Kate: Answering your own door? I thought Alfred was supposed to do that.

Y/N: He's making breakfa-

Kate jumps on me and started kissing me a lot

When she stops, she hands me a newspaper

Kate: You're becoming quite a celebrity.

We then go to the kitchen to have breakfast

Alfred: Good morning, Ms. Bishop. Pancakes?

Kate: Yes, please...I'm starving.

We eat breakfast together and I throw a piece of bacon at the dog for him to eat

Y/N: Have you named him yet?

Kate: Oh, his name is Lucky

Y/N: I don't think he liked the bacon

Kate: He prefers pizza.

Alfred: Noted.

Kate: When I was with the Bartons, I saw that a prison break was happening in Rikers island...what happened there?

Y/N: Well, Black Mask inviaded Rikers with the help of a Crocodile Man

Kate: A Crocodile Man?

Y/N: He suffers from a disease that makes his skin look scaly. He also told me Black Mask has hired assassins to hunt me down.

Kate looks shocked

Kate: Assassins? As in how many assassins?

Y/N: Eight. 

Kate: Eight?! Y/N, you're not dealing with petty criminals like the Tracksuits anymore, these are hired assassins. Leave it to the Avengers.

Y/N: I'm pretty sure that the Avengers are too busy to deal with crime bosses like Black Mask. Captain Marvel must be in outer space, Captain America is dealing with evil super soldiers, Black Panther has better things to do in Wakanda and Thor is...where is Thor? Anyway, this is my mess, I have to fix it. And with less people involved, the better.

Kate: Then let me help you.

I sigh

Y/N: I know if I say no, you'll find a way to do it anyway, so follow me, I want to show you something?

I take Kate to the cave and show her around

Kate: Whoa, what is this place?

Y/N: Base of operations and training facility.

Kate: I can see you got some pets of your own.

She points to the bats

Y/N: They were already here way before I set up this stuff.

After showing Kate the cave, we return to the manor

Y/N: I have a lead, his name is The Penguin. If you want to help, meet me at this place.

I hand her a piece of paper with an adress near the Final Offer


Third Person POV:

Later that day, Y/N is in the cave getting ready to leave when he gets a call from Kate

Kate: Hey, I'm here. Where are you?

Y/N: I'll be there in five.

He gets in the jet and leaves

10 minutes later, he arrives at Kate's location and drops down

Kate: You're late. Why are we here?

Y/N: See that old ship there? That's where the Penuin is hiding. Only he can tell me where Black Mask is.

They approach the ship and see guards by the door

Kate takes one guard down

With the other one distracted, Batman punches him on the face and knocks him down

When they get inside, they see two goons holding long knives

Goon: Looks like someone brought a Bat to a knife fight

Y/N: You wanna take care of these two?

Kate shoots an special arrow to the ground that detonates itself to an adhesive gel, blowing the goons off and sticking them to the walls

Y/N: Nice.

They head off to the boiler deck and see two men fighting and more men around the deck throwing money on them

Y/N: Stay out of sight. I'll handle this.

Batman grapples up to have a clear vision of the boiler deck and counts hostiles

He then drops down to the deck and is greeted by a blonde, british woman

Tracey: Now there's a naughty geeza, proper naughty. And he deserves a proper welcome, don't he lads?

(Alice Eve as Tracey Buxton)

Electrocutioner shows up and drops down to where Batman is

Electrocutioner: You just saved me a lot of trouble coming here, Batman. I'm-a kill you. Then, I'm-a jumpstart your heart...and kill you again! Are you ready?!

The crowd of criminals around them cheer

Y/N: I'm looking for Black Mask. Where is he?

Electrocutioner: I ain't here to talk, I'm here to kick your ass! Just think of me as a Bat-zapper...

Batman kicks him in the face before he could finish talking

Y/N: Who wants to show me where the Penguin is?!

Tracey: Alright you lousy mugs, time to earn your supper.

The thugs that were watching the fight drop down to fight Batman

But before hhe could throw the first punch, Kate fires some trick arrows, incapacitating the majority of the thugs in seconds

That leaves only one goon standing

Batman interrogates him

Y/N: Where's Cobblepot?

Goon 2: I ain't telling you jack.

Y/N: A little more pressure and I'll crush your larynx. What's it gonna be?

Goon 2: Okay! He's in his office. Only way in is through the theater on the other side of the casino. But you'll never get past Tracey.

Y/N: Tracey won't be a problem.

He punches the goon, knocking him out

After that, Kate rappels down to him

Y/N: Thought I told you to stay out of sight.

Kate: And that I did.

Y/N: Really? Because I didn't shoot those arrows. And when they wake up, they'll know I had help.

Kate: You're welcome. Let's just go to the casino.

Kate storms off

Alfred: Sir, she's just trying to help. Be more considerate

He sighs deeply and follows Kate

Kate: Are you gonna be boo hooing or are you gonna let me help?

Y/N: Just stay close.

When they arrive at the casino, they're cornered by Penguin's men

Kate: Fifteen against two? Pretty heavy odds.

Y/N: For them...

He throws a smoke bomb to the ground and uses his batarangs to incapacitate 3 goons

Kate then fires and anchor arrow, attaching two goons to each other

Batman then uses his expertise in martial arts to knock the rest of the goons down

When the smoke clears, they see all of the goons unconscious lying down

Kate: Show off...

They carefully enter Tracey's office and approach her from behind and notice Tracey going for something under her desk

Kate: That better be lip gloss you're reaching for

She swings a baseball bat at Kate, but she dodges it and hits Tracey in the face

Kate handcuffs her to the desk afterwards

Batman then unlocks the door to the theater using Tracey's computer

Y/N: Let's go.

When they get to the theater, they encounter a bodyguard

Y/N: Who's your boss and what does Penguin want with him?

Bodyguard: Alberto Falcone, but I got no idea what Penguin wants with him, I swear.

They arrive at Penguin's office and eavesdrop a coversation. They're interrogating Alberto Falcone

Penguin: Now where were we, Candy?

(Colin Farrell as The Penguin)

Candy: You suggested little Alberto over here try to convince his father to take early retirement. He disagreed and called you a "psychotic little bastard."

(Nathalie Emmanuel as Candy)

Penguin uses his cane to hit Alberto in the ribs

Penguin: Now you best listen, Falcone.

He picks up an electric baton

Penguin: This is the last time I'll ask...What are you gonna tell your father?

He electrocutes Alberto with the stick

Alberto: That we're leaving the weapons business to Black Mask. I promise I'll make him do it

(Ben Wishaw as Alberto Falcone)

Just as Penguin was about to shock Alberto again, a batarang comes flying and disarms him

Penguin: Now hold on, hold on a minute!

Batman grabs Penguin and throws him to the other side of the room

Penguin: I've seen your act. I ain't done nothing you haven't done.

Y/N: Black Mask. He put a bounty on my head. Where is he?

Penguin: How should I know? I don't keep tabs with every guy that holds a grudge against you. You're not that popular.

Batman punches him and lifts him up

Y/N: You're running out of time.

Penguin: Wait... Lacey Towers. There was a murder... it was supposed to be his safehouse, but someone broke in there and-

He gets cut off by a cable that grabs Batman's foot and drags him out the door

A mysterious figure hangs the vigilante upside down and picks up a sword

But just as he was about to deliver the finishing blow, Batman disarms him and cuts the cable, falling down to the boiler deck

Kate: Y/N? What the hell was that?

Y/N: Stay out of this one, Kate.

The assassin drops down to the boiler deck and reveals to be Deathstroke

Slade: It appears the game is over before it even begins.

Y/N: I'm not playing games...Slade.

Batman closes his fists and gets ready to fight
