Batman vol 1.4
Lex jumped back. “We don’t have TIME for this!” He shouted. “He’ll be here! He can see through walls, you know.” I ambled up to him calmly, despite the fact that about 5 guns were trained on me.
“What’s got you so worried?” I barked. “The only person you should be scared of is me.”
“No, no, you don’t understand, this man, he’s a danger, and the Kryptonite is the only thing that can-” he cut off mid-sentence. His ears seemed to perk up, sticking out from his bald head more than they did already.
And suddenly a blur dashed into the room, sending his henchmen flying. The blur stopped and grabbed Lex.
I could see now it was a young man, no more than 20 years old. His face was covered by a shoddy bandana tied around his neck, similar to Jason’s. He looked at Lex with such an intensity it seemed as if lasers would shoot out of his eyes.
“I know what you’re doing!” He shouted. “Stop taking the Kryptonite. I don’t want any trouble!”
Lex started laughing maniacally.
“You’re gonna regret ever coming to Metropolis, you freak,” he spat. “Soon I’ll have so much Kryptonite you’ll be worse off than that time in my mansion back in Smallville!
“Which one?” He snarled. “There were so many times you betrayed I I lost count.” And with no effort he tossed Lex like a rag doll. Lex crashed back into the floor and went sliding.
Robin and I sprang into action. I pulled out batarangs and threw them at the newcomer but instead of implanting themselves in his skin, the batarangs nearly bounced off. I felt a deflating feeling in my stomach and knew this wouldn’t be as easy as I hoped it would be.
Robin lunged at him, hitting him with his staff; the newcomer just picked Robin up and threw him.
“Robin!” I cried, turning to face the man in the bandana. “Why are you doing this?” The man in the bandana stared at me, unblinking.
“I know you. You’re the Bat,” he said. Before he could say anything else, there was a screeching of tires and Lex had ditched with his men. The bandana man looked from me to the door as if making a decision before flying out the door to catch up with the van.
