Chapter 2: Fowl Play

(Eight figures are seen patrolling Gotham)

????: So... Weiss... How about we hangout after this patrol?

????: Oh, Jaune... So childish, aren't you?

????: And you're not, baby sister?

Weiss: At least she's tolerable... (to Jaune) Compared to you!

Jaune: Oh, come on...

????: (singing) We're patrolling, we're patrolling. In some vehicles, we keep rolling.

????: Seriously, Nora? Seriously? You're not gonna stop singing?

(Suddenly Batman, Spider-Man and the Gotham Knights come in)

Batman: Ahem.

Jaune: (slowly turns around and sees Batman) Hey, Batman. Uh... What's going on?

????: Hello again.

(The red caped girl sees Spider-Man and tackles him to a hug)

????: OH YEAH! (keeps hugging him) Oh, Spider-Man is the best!

Weiss: Wait... Did you say... Spider-Man?

Batgirl: You must be the eight huntsmen who patrolled our city at our absence.

Nightwing: You did a great job stopping The Joker.

Jaune: You can bet we did!

Red Hood: You could have enjoyed the opportunity while...

Batman: No.

Red Hood: You wouldn't even notice...

Batgirl: My father would!

Jaune: Anyway... I'm Jaune... Arc... leader of Team JNPR. The redhead is Pyrrha...

Pyrrha: Hello.

Jaune: The orange haired girl is Nora Valkyrie...

Nora: Hi.

Jaune: And this guy is Lie Ren.

(Lie Ren bows gracefully and Robin does the same)

????: (breaks the hug) Oh. I forgot to introduce my team. I'm Ruby Rose. The white haired is...

(Ruby is pushed aside by Weiss)

Weiss: Forgive my teammate. She tends to be a complete dolt. I'm Weiss Schnee, the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. You must be Akira Kusuo, one of the most intelligent boys in the Earth.

Nightwing: Wait. Does she know Spider-Man's secret identity?

Weiss: Of course I do. And I also know that Batman is...

(Ruby covers Weiss' mouth)

Ruby: Sorry for my teammate. She rarely wants to know most of people.

Batman: That's a first.

Ruby: Anyway... The one wearing a bow is Blake, and the blonde is my big sister Yang Xiao Long.

Yang: (in a flirty tone) What a tiger you are, Spider.

Spider-Man: Thanks...

Red Hood: Hold on. You eight must be the ones those Ace Operatives were hunting down.

Weiss: Ace Operatives?

Robin: You know them?

(Suddenly a voice is heard)

????: You're not alone.

Nightwing: Huh?

????: You're not alone!

Ruby: It's him!

(Then the TVs in Gotham show the screen of the figure)

????: My name is James Ironwood. I come from a world far from yours. I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to reach you. For some time your world has sheltered some of Remnant's citizens. I request that you return these individuals to my custody. For reasons unknown they have chosen to keep their existence a secret from you. They will have made efforts to blend in. They will look like you, but they are not any of you.

Spider-Man: So he's the leader of the invasion forces.

Ironwood: To those of you who may know of their current location, the fate of your planet rests in your hands. To Ruby Rose and company, I say this. Surrender within twenty-four hours, or watch this world suffer the consequences.

(Message ends)

Robin: What now?

(Suddenly there is an explosion in the museum)

Batman: We'll think about it later.

(The heroes go the museum)

Spider-Man: Okay. That's the plan. We'll divide into two teams of seven.

Batman: Gotham Knights, Ren and Weiss. You're with me.

Yang: You hear that, sister? We are on Spider-Man's team.

Blake: Nya.

(The teams separate. In one side, Spider-Man uses his spider-drone)

Nora: Wow! A drone.

Spider-Man: Cool, isn't it? It's controlled by the Artificial Intelligence named Karen.

Karen: Hello.

Pyrrha: Hello.

Spider-Man: Can you help us search for hostages?

Karen: Sure.

(Karen detects a hostage)

Karen: Hostage detected. Follow me.

(Spider-Man and his team follow Karen to a location and they find the hostage, who is one of the museum guards)

Guard 1: Thanks, Spider-Man. I was returning to my duty until suddenly a fat figure shot some tranquilizers in me.

Jaune: How many hostages are in there?

Guard 1: Only me and two other guards.

Spider-Man: Okay. (to Karen) Karen. Can you locate the other two guards?

Karen: Batman and his team just saved one of them. The other is located at the basement.

(Meanwhile with Batman and his team)

Batman: A fat guy hit you with a tranquilizer?

Guard 2: Yes. I couldn't see more about him. So that's all I know.

(Batman communicates)

Batman: Spider-Man. Did you find something?

Spider-Man: It looks like there is only one guard who needs to be rescued. And he's located at the basement.

Batman: I see... Report when you have found a clue about the guy who attacked the museum.

Spider-Man: Sure.

(Back to Spider-Man and his team, they go to the basement, where they find the third guard)

Guard 3: You must be Batman's new sidekicks...

Jaune: Uh... Not exactly...

Guard 3: I saw a guy with a long nose walking along with a man in a bird suit.

Spider-Man: A guy with a long nose and a man in a bird suit?

(Spider-Man realizes who attacked the museum)

Spider-Man: Got it!

Yang: Wait. What?

Spider-Man: The ones who attacked the museum are The Penguin and Vulture.

Karen: Wait. I found another hostage located at the first floor.

Spider-Man: What?

(Back to Batman and his team)

Batman: There must be something wrong.

(Weiss uses her scroll and locates a hostage)

Weiss: It looks like there is a hostage located at the first floor.

Nightwing: We better find him.

(Then both teams search for the hostage, then they eventually find him)

Curator: There you are. The Penguin and his new sidekick captured me and kept me here.

Batman: The Penguin has a sidekick?

Spider-Man: Apparently he does. And it's my archenemy Vulture.

Red Hood: This explains the damage in some areas of the museum.

Curator: Go to the third floor and type this code "2478"

Spider-Man: Thank you.

(The heroes go to find and confront the Vulture and the Penguin)

(To be continued)
