Chapter 7: Frozen Heart (Fixed)

A little figurine of a woman spins around in a snow globe as two red eyes watch it "This is how I will always remember you... surrounded by winter; forever young," said a robotic-like voice as the eyes got closer, "forever beautiful... rest well, my love," said the voice as a black-gloved hand touched the snow globe. The camera zooms out to reveal a man in a suit with red glowing eyes and a glass helmet "Soon, my dear. Soon the monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served... cold,"

End Intro:

"In the midst of the hottest August on record, a rash bizarre of cold-related crimes have chilled Gotham to the bone," said the reporter as she stands in front of a building covered in snow and ice with the front entrance busted open, "one again, the target is a GothCorp facility; attacked by an assailant wielding, what witnesses call, a Freezing Gun. The attackers' motives remain unclear; we spoke earlier with Goth Corps CEO, Ferris Boyle, who offered these comments," she continued as the TV switched to a man in a suit with greying hair.

He sat behind a desk as he shook his head "I don't know what this person has against GothCorp, but we always looked upon ourselves as 'The People' Company," he said, "if this man has a problem, we're willing to listen,". The screen then cuts back to the reporter as children have started to play in the snow while she is wiping away some sweat "A heartfelt plea from the chairman of GothCorp: The People Company," she said as Clyde tries shooing away the children behind her

"Hey, kids! Get outta here, this is a crime scene!" Clyde shouts as the children laugh while running away from him

"This is Summer Gleeson, for Gotham Insider," said the reporter as Clyde was pegged in the head with a snowball

"Ha ha ha, very funny! Get outta here before I get your parents!" Clyde said as the TV was turned off. Sitting in a chair was Lynn as she pushed button on the Batcomputer while Alfred was coming down the elevator with some food. Pictures flashed on the screen as Alfred walked over "Taken up playing video games?" Alfred asked sarcastically as Lynn chuckled

"No, Alfred, I've accessed police files on the GothCorp raids. These are the stolen objects. It doesn't look like much alone, but in this configuration," Lynn explained as she had the computer piece together the stolen parts into a large laser-like weapon

"My god, what is that?" Alfred asked

"They combine into a massive weapon able to generate intense cold. There's still one component missing and only one GothCorp plant makes it," Lynn said, "and off to find our man,"

"So you're going out tonight when you promised Master Lily you would watch reruns of ARGGH! with her tonight?" Alfred asked as Lynn stopped in her tracks! She mentally hit herself as she took a deep breath "Tell her something happened at work that I needed to take care of and tell her maybe tomorrow," Lynn said as Alfred raised an eyebrow

"This is really getting out of hand, Master Lynn, sometimes you need to take a night off,"

"I know, Alfred... but I want Lily to go out in the street without me watching both out backs," Lynn said as she hopped into the batmobile and left. Alfred sighed as he walked back to the elevator. But as he opened up the elevator door, Merla was cawing as she landed on Alfred's head and started to peck him "GAH! BLASTED BIRD!" he shouted as he tried to swat her off him

"CAW! CAW!"

"I'm not a perch! How did you even get in here?!"

At A GothCorp Warehouse:

Two guards were at their posts as one was inside a tollbooth while the other was outside. As the guard outside was looking around, he spots a pair of headlights in the distance "Halt! Stay where you are!" the guard said through a microphone he had on him as the car started to speed up. Once the guard realized that the car wasn't going to stop, he quickly moved out of the way as the van sped by him, crashing through the toll just as the other guard jumped out of the way. When they thought it was safe, the guards looked up to see the car speeding into the warehouse and behind them, they saw another car... the Batmobile. Lynn chased the car into the area as she floored it and caught up with the car. Inside, the driver looked in the rear-view mirror and shouted "We got company!" as the back held 4 men. One was wearing a suit while the others had coats and beanies on " Keep your mind on your business," said the suited man as he sat up wielding a silver gun "I'll handle this," he continued as he opened a small door in the back. Poking the gun through the hole, he shot the ground with a blue laser as the said ground started to freeze. Lynn was starting to spin out of control as she pushed a button and out the back of the Batmobile, a grappling hook shot out and attached itself to a frozen pole. The Batmobile spun around a corner as it crashed into a wall. Lynn's head banged against the interior of her vehicle as she rubbed her head "Note to self; add a snow-tire function to the Batmobile," she said as she heard the sound of shattering glass. Quickly hopping out, she saw a large hole in the side of a building and ran into it. Seeing a bunch of men carrying canisters, she hid on top of the van as she heard them talk "Are you done loading up the canisters?" asked the man in the suit

"All set, boss," said one of the thugs as Lynn grabbed the thug and held him in the air. The rest of the thugs slowly walked back as another one shouted "THE BATGIRL!" and Lynn tossed the thug into a nearby garbage can. Jumping between the three remaining thugs, Lynn punched one in the throat and threw him over her shoulder. She performed a leg sweep on another one as his head almost cracked on the cement ground. Pushing off one of her hands, she kicked the last thug in the nose as she landed on her feet and uppercut him into the van. Lynn then turned to the man in the suit as she said: "Freeze! Stop right there!"

"That's Mr. Freeze to you," replied Mr. Freeze as Lynn threw three Batarangs at him. Mr. Freeze pulled out his silver gun as he shot all three of them out of the air, each one falling to the ground and shattering "This is a personal vendetta. It doesn't concern you!" Mr. Freeze stated as he pointed his weapon at Lynn

"It's been my concern since you started robbing GothCorp," Lynn replied as Mr. Freeze shook his head

"You ally yourself with my enemies, it's sad really. I've heard so many good things about the Bat that protects Gotham... but after hearing this, I'm afraid you're just another villain,"

"What are you talking about? I help people, not the other way around,"

"You ally yourself with him, and for that, you leave me with no choice!" Mr. Freeze said as he fired at Lynn. Lynn rolled out of the way as a large ice wall formed behind her. Firing her Batclaw into the ceiling, she rose into the air as she passed by the thug she threw into the garbage. Mr. Freeze fired again as the ray missed Lynn, but struck the thug and froze his legs. The thug Lynn uppercut shook his head as he saw his friends' legs freeze "JOHNNY!" he shouted as Johnny fell to the ground, holding his legs. Meanwhile, Lynn was about to land on some scaffolding when Mr. freeze shot it, and when she landed, she crashed through it and fell to the ground as ice fell on her. Pushing a button on his gun, Mr. Freeze aimed it at Lynn as he fired it, freezing her. Putting away his weapon, Mr. Freeze walked passed the Johnny and his friends "Hey, take it easy man, I gotcha," said one of the thugs

"Leave him," Mr. Freeze said as he started to walk into the van

"E-excuse me?"

"He should have been more careful. Now he's paid the price for his incompetence!"

"But he's one of us!"

"Then perhaps you'd like to share his fate?!" Mr. Freeze asked as he pulled out his freeze gun Johnny's friends grimaced. With heavy hearts and heads hung low, they started to walk back into the van. As one of his friends walked by, Johnny grabbed their leg as he pleaded: "Don't leave me! Please!" and his friend kept on walking. When they were loaded into the van, Mr. Freeze looked down at Johnny as the man crawled toward him. Closing the door, the van started to drive away as Johnny cried out: "Please! COME BACK!" as the van drove out of the hole. Just before they left, Lynn burst out of her ice cocoon as she ran at the van. But she couldn't do a thing as the van raced away "HELP! PLEASE!" she heard as she turned around and saw Johnny on the floor. Clenching her fists, she had to choose between chasing after Mr. Freeze and helping Johnny as the man's words echoed in her ears "S-s-so c-c-col-d," Johnny said as Lynn glared in the direction of Mr. Freeze.

[Sorry this chapter is short, but I love cliff hangers. Hope you enjoyed and see you all next time. Also, I'm going to go back through his chapter in the future and the Mr. Freeze model is the Batman The Animated Series.]
