Batman: Bad Blood 2014
Chapter 7 - Batman M.I.A.

"Somewhere in between old me and new me, I have lost actual me" - #HiddenFellings

Gotham, at night

Reporter: "In other news, Chuckie Sol, a made man in the Black Mask mob was kidnapped at gunpoint by masked assailants earlier today. Suspicion is high that Sol was a victim of the recent turf war raging between the mob and a new rival gang composed of high-tech Criminal known to have crossed paths with Batman, but and with Red Hood, who hasn't been seen in 3 months."

Screaming of torture is heard in an warehouse near the docks, as the victim is no other then Chuckie Sol, member of Black Mask's gang, as he is tied up and hanging upside down and has a bag on his head.

Sol:" I don't know about any weapon shipment."

He is again striked by the elecitry from the villan known as Electocutioner. Near him are standing Tusk, big monster with two fangs, standing behind Electocutioner with 3 thugs with guns. Then there are Firefly, guy with flamethrower, Hellhound, who wears a dog like mask and the Killer Moth, all of them standing behind Tusk.

Tusk: "You could do better than that, Chuckie. We ain't got all night."

Tusk say as Sol is screaming from torture. In background, we see a person wearing like a bat suit, who jumps on the platform and runs and hides into a gap, as Killer Moth looks there but sees nothing.

Tusk: "Old Electocutioner here gets mighty ticked when someone lies. When it's that weapons shipment due!?"

Tusk yells as Electocutioner sends another way of elecitry at Sol, but then, a batarang comes behind Sol and hits the Electocutioner in the face, as it bounce off behind him and lands on the floor where beeps before it's explodes and a black smoke comes out of it, as it spreads around everyone.

Everyone coughs as the person dressed up in the bat suit dropes infront of them, outside of the smoke.

The unknown bat runs as it grabs one thug into a smoke. Other thugs fires his weapon, but he is shoot by the bat in the leg and falls on the ground.

Electocutioner sees this and gets confused.

Electocutioner: "Wait... Batman doesn't use guns."

???: "Batman doesn't."

Unknown bat takes off it's cape of them, as it reveals that the bat is the female with a red hair and red bat symbol. This female bat is known as Batwoman, as she flips the pistol in her hand.

Batwoman: "But I do."

Then she fires the bullets at the
Electocutioner but he creates a sheild with elecitry, as bullets don't pass it.

Then he runs at her, but she moves out of the way. She dodges his Attack before jumps away, creating a distance between them.

Sol: "I'm just the accountant."

Electocutioner: "Shut it!"

Electocutioner hits him as he shoot elecitry at Batwoman, but she doges as she throws a batrope at Electocutioner which tied him up and she then punches him with elbow to the face, knocking him down.

Then Hellhound attacks her, but she moves out of the way of his attack. They have a hand to hand combact, but Batwoman knees him in the face. But then she is pushed by the Tusk on the ground, then someone punches the Tusk in the face, knocking him on the ground.

Someone steps infront of Batwoman as she looks up and sees Batman standing infront of her.

Batman: "That's no way to treat a lady."

Electocutioner shoots at Batman, but he dodges. Then Hellhound goes to attack Batman, but Batman doges his leg kick and punches him in the face and drags him as his sheild as elecitry strikes Hellhound.

Batman then shoots a grappling hook at Killer Moth and then second hook at Firefly, as he releases the hooks which drags both of flying guys towards each other as they flew away.

Electocutioner goes to punch Batman, but Batman with quick punches to his body, sends him away.

Then Batwoman approches Batman.

Batwoman: "I could've handled these Clisters on my own."

Batman: "Dressing like a bat doesn't make you a hero. It just makes you a target."

Then Batwoman pulls out a gun and points at Hellhound, but Batman blocks her as she fire in the air.

Batman: "And using a gun makes you just like them."

Then Hellhound jumps towards them, but two bats move away as then Batwoman kicns him away.

Then Batman pushes her out of the way as Electocutioner fires elecrity at them.

Batwoman pushes Batman off herself as they both turn and stand in fighting pose.

Batman: "I want you out of here. Now!"

Batman demanded but it's to late as they both engage in battle.

Batman fights off the Electocutioner and Tusk, while Batwoman foughts Hellhound.

Batman quickly takes out two of them, but then Firefly fires flames from his flamethrower and Killer Moth fires bullets at Batman but he jumps away.

Then Killer Moth drops 3 drones from his back. Batwoman who is on the ground, points and shoot at the drones taking out 2 drones before she runs out of bullets. She gets up and tries to run away, but drones catches her and lifts her in the air.

Batman seeing this, fires a grappling hook at Killer Moth. Killer Moth rolls out of the way and laughs, thinking Batman missed. But Batman then comes at him, Killer Moth crosding his arms for impact, but Batman passes by him.

Then Killer Moth hears beeping as he looks at his back and see an explosive placed on his wings. Explosive explodes as it sends Killer Moth crushing into Tusk, who just got up and is knocked on the ground once more.

Back to Batwoman, she realods her pistol as she shoot the drone carring her, but that was bad idea as it dropes her on the platform, as she roles on it.

She gets up holding her hand, but then Firefly flies up to her as he drops to grenades on the platform.

Batman: "Down!"

But lucky, Batman jumps at Batwoman as he pushes them both as grenades explode.

Then Batman throws a batarang at one of Firefly's wings, as it explodes and Firefly comes landing on the platform on the ground as Batman walks to him.

Firefly tries to shoots his flamethrower, but it's kicked by Batman's leg from his hand.

Then Batman grabs him by the collar as he lifts him up to his face.

Batman: "This wasn't a break-in. Was it, Firefly?"

Firefly: "Of course not."

Batman: "They're working for someone new."

He said as he looks at Batwoman.

Batwoman: "Who?"

Just then, from the flames behind, a person walks through it. Person it taller then Batman's height and has musculer build, maybe to musculer and he wears a mask like the Batman's, but it covers his mouth and his eyes are visible.

???: "This is truly an honor, Batman. I've waited so very long for this moment."

Unknown person said as Batman drops Firefly on the ground and turns to him and as the batwoman stands beside him.

???: "Through the circumstances are less than ideal."

He said as he breaks his knuckles.

Batman: "Do I know you?"

???: "Intimately... and not at all."

Batman nartows his eyes as he looks at unknown figure as for second he sees himself but with red eyes on unknown figures face. Batman widen his eyes.

Batwoman: "And you rag on me for stealing your look."

She goes to attack unknown figure, but she it quickly beaten as she is punched in the face and then throwen into a fence as unknown figure stands in fighting pose, ready to battle Batman.

Batman runs as him. On start, Batman has the upper hand as he sends blows to figures face. Batwoman, who has the the bloody nose, gets up and runs at figure as she jumps on him from behind and holds him in headlock.

But figure throws her of him staight at Batman which gives the chance to run at Batman and punch. Batman no matter how he blocks the attack is kicked by the figure on the ground in matter of seconds.

Batwoman tried to jump on him but is kicked in the face and grabed by the neck as figure then throws her of platforme, falling straight down.

Batman gets up and fires the grappling hook which attaches around Batwoman's leg, as Batman is holding her, nearly pulling himself over the fence.

???: "Onyx, now."

Figure said to his his friend, now known as Onyx as she throws 3 sharp blades which stab into Batman side.

???: "Rest well, Batman."

Figure then presses the detonaitor as place starts to explode. Batman manages to swing Batwoman away as she is throw through window just as place explodes and she falls into the water as flames and smoke risen up from the warehouse.

Batwoman emeges on the surface as parts of the building falls into water, as she looks at the building on flames, gretting her teeth, but she quickly changes her face into neutral one.

Batman: Bad Blood

7:17 am

Batwoman is seen heading towards the warehouse she was at yesteday.

Flames and smoke has died out so it was safe to visit.

She lands near a warehouse doors, but stops. Warehouse doors are open. That would make sence because of explosion last night if wasn't for a crowbar laying near the doors.

She stealthy walks in as she looks around until she hears the footstep. She hides in the dark as she spots the figure walking on the platform where she and Batman fought a Batman copy cat.

Figure is wearing a jacket with a hood over his head. She quietly as possible graples up to the celling as she sees the figure crouching near 2 blades which where laying on the ground as he picks one and looks at it.

Batwoman goes to sneak up on him but the part of the celling she steped on falls off, alarming the figure who gets up and starts running away out of the warehouse as Batwoman gives the chase.

But when she gets outside, she see the figure is already gone, it vanished to quickly. She cures under her breath and graples away.

If she stayed second more, she would she the figure grapling away on the opposite side she went. The figure lands on the roof as he lowers his Hood, revealing a red helmet. Figure turns as we can see the red bat symbol on his chest.

(Note: add jacket from Under the Red Hood for first couple of chapters of Bad Blood and put Under the Red Hood helmet and symbol is bigger. This Will be your suit in this movie/ARC)

This figure is the Red Hood aka Y/N Todd.

Y/N POV

I sigh as I manage to run away. I was on this building last night when that warehouse exploded. You are asking why? I was "talking" to one of the scum bags who are working for the now new criminal gang in the City, rivaling Black Mask.

I tried to keep my profile down for 3 months now, after... no matter. In that time I was saving people in small time situations. I didn't kill anyone in that time, because I now kill one's who really really deserves it or if neccesary.

I... I still don't know... who, what I am in this point. A Criminal. A Hero. A Vigilante? I keep hearing Bruce voice in my head. It repeats the line he told me when I first started out as Robin:

"Justice, not vengeance, Y/N."

Every time I try to shoot somebody, I hear it. This is my curse. I don't know who I am anymore. But instict of saving people never left me so it's only thing keeping me alive so far.

While "talking" to the scum bag, I saw Bruce on his batcycle heading towards that warehouse and then explosion happened and I didn't see that Bruce came out of it. Does that mean he... No. If there's anything that hollywood movies taught me, it is if you don't see somebody die or find the body, they aren't dead.

But if he doesn't show up soon. Then.. all bloody hell's gonna break loose.

2 weeks later

Himalayas

THIRD POV

In Himalayas, there is a monastery on snowy moutains. Main person of Buddhist monastery, also known as Dalaj Lama, walks past people, who are currently praying to their god Buddha.

But in one of the corner, we see Damian who is currently cleaning the floor, dressed in their orange clothes.

He opens the doors to his room as he throws the bucket in and closes the door as he walks to his bed and lays on it.

He turns his head to the left as he spots his bag, which he didn't open in a while. He moves to it as he opens it and takes out a tablet which he turns on.

He is looking through news until he spots surprising one.

On screen is Bat symbol with a question mark showen with words labelling "Where's Batman".

Damian clicks on it as he gets up in sitting position as the press confrence from Commissioner Jim Gordon shows up.

Gordon: "It's not like he punches time clock. But I can assure you that the Gotham Police is more than capable of keeping this city safe. Even without a masked hero to back us up."

Damian turns off the the tablet as he puts it down.

Damian: "You're bad liar, Gordon."

Damian grabs his bag and coat which he puts on and walks to the door and leaves. He is heading back to Gotham.

Bludhaven

Police sirens and truck honks are heard in the streets. Then car is throwen into an cinama's board and we see now Nightwing who is pushed back.

Kori: "So, are on your way?"

Nightwing: "Yeah, babe. You can't believe the traffic."

Civilian: "It's Blockbuster!"

So Nightwing is currently fighting a blockbuster near cinema? There's totally be someone who is gonna make a pun out of this.

Blockbuster throws another car at Nightwing, but Nightwing jumps, dodging as he runs at Blockbuster and start kicking him with his ligma sticks.

Kori: "Can't wait to see you. It's been weeks."

Yeah, 3 months is like 13 weeks.

Kori: "I've almost forgotten what you feel like."

Nightwing: "I'll remind - -"

Then Nightwing is punched into faced as he crush through a wooden wall and falls into construction site.

Kori: "It's... What's all that noise?"

Nightwing: "Construction."

Nightwing just moves in time because Blockbuster lands in the spot he was laying couple of seconds ago.

Nightwing: "Hold on. I think I see an opening."

Nightwing throws a batarang which goes flying up and cutting the cabel holding a big rock ball and Rock Ball falls on the Blockbuster, not killing him, but he will have a big headache.

Nightwing: "Yup. All clear, Kori. I'll be at the tower in fi - -"

Then his phone rings as he takes it out and sees a bat symbol emergency call and sighs.

Nightwing: "Babe, you have no ideahow sorry I am, but..."

Kori: "But, what about our - -"

Nightwing: "Got a family emergency. Nightwing out."

Then he is on his motorbike.

Nightwing: "Your timing really sucks, Alfred."

He turns it on and drive towards batcave.
