Batman: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 Issue #8 (And Contest Ended)

Nighthawk and I drop from the walls we were climbing and turn around to face Cobblepot and his men. He's standing there with Deadshot and some young adult in a red and black suit holding a familiar looking helmet. Judging by the now purple-ish look of his face, Cobblepot's not happy we escaped.

 

Cobblepot: (Breathing deeply) "So, you escaped your cells, eh? An.. unforeseen complication, but one that can be solved."

 

He turns to the young adult and starts talking in German. I can understand it, and because Nighthawk's lips are moving I assume he knows some too.

 

Cobblepot: (translated from German) "Your test has now changed. No longer will you be facing Deadshot. Now, you will face them. Do not fail. You know what happens if you do, correct?"

 

The young adult nods and puts on his helmet, and Cobblepot steps back.

 

Cobblepot: (To Deadshot) "Do not let them escape."

 

Deadshot: (Nods)

 

Nighthawk and I get ready to fight our way out when suddenly the young adult disappears and my fears for Hydra's weapon become a reality.

 

Nighthawk: "Wait, I see-" (gets uppercut by some invisible force)

 

Bruce: "Nighthawk! He's shrunk! You most likely won't be able to fight back while he's small!"

 

Nighthawk: "Yeah. Got it."

 

Suddenly I see a small black speck jump towards me. I leap to the side and avoid it, but it comes back around for another go. After a while of fighting and dodging he finally lands a blow. I'm hit from behind and fall to my hands and knees. Then I get hit in the jaw and fall to the ground. He then leaves and goes after Nighthawk, who's doing a pretty good job dodging his hits. I look over and see Cobblepot and Deadshot watching him. They're distracted.

 

Bruce: "Nighthawk!"

 

He looks over, then gets whacked in the calf.

 

Bruce: (Mouthing) "Keep him busy."

 

Nighthawk: (Nods.) "Hey Ant-Boy! That all you got?"

 

Ant-Boy: (Charging at Nighthawk) "Don't call me that!"

 

Getting up, I grab a smoke-bomb from my belt. I throw it down and charge at Deadshot. If I can manage to defeat him, since Cobblepot won't be much of a threat Nighthawk and I might be able to get out of here. I hit Deadshot a few times in the gut and head, but then he catches my fist.

 

Deadshot: (Metallic) "Not so fast."

 

We fight for a bit, but I get about as far as I did with Ant-Boy. Think Bruce. How can I beat him? Just then I get and idea. Grabbing one of the glass shards, I ram it into his knee, hoping to immobilize him. Instead the shard breaks, so I know now he must have some armor. I try another in his shoulder, but no such luck-

 

Bruce: (Wobbles back and moves his jaw around.) "Ugh!"

 

Right in the face. Luckily it wasn't with his metal arm. That's it! Taking the last shard, I jam it in his armpit under his metal arm, where there should be a gap.

 

Deadshot: (Screams out in pain, then takes the shard out.) "Aaahhhh!"

 

As he take out the shard, I punch him right in the jaw, knocking him out. Crude, but it worked. Then Cobblepot looks over, and reaches behind his back. He pulls out his gun, and shoots a few bullets. I dodge them all, hit the gun out of his hand, and knock him out. Looking over I see Nighthawk looking around in confusion. Then I see Ant-Boy jump towards me, grow back to his normal size, and punch me. I fall backwards, and see Ant-Boy jump up and shrink. He flies down through the air to hit me when suddenly two gloved hands cover him and defend me from the blow.
