Countdown to Doom #4 - Batman

I head down to the basement of the warehouse and I manage to find all six of the girls in cages. They all have cuts and bruises across their bodies no doubt from what that witch has done to them and they look like they’ve been starved, but at least they’re alive. In front of the cages I notice a variety of medical equipment ranging from a scalpel to syringes to even a club. What has she done to them? I climb out of the basement to signal my position to the GCPD and the ambulance crews that have also arrive on the scene as they get to work freeing the girls and getting them on stretchers to be rushed to Gotham General.

 

After all the girls had been released and made it safely to Gotham General I met up with Barry on the balcony of Wayne tower both of us still in costume. Barry seems disturbed by tonight’s events.

 

“You alright?”

 

“Yeah I’ll be fine. I just can’t believe what she did.”

 

“People will do crazy things for the ones they love. “

 

“Yeah I’ve always thought I’d do some crazy things to look after Iris and Wally, but the things that she did. I just can’t believe that she could do such things.”

 

“The world’s full of people like that Barry. It’s up to us to try and help fix them. But it wasn’t all bad.”

 

“How do you mean?”

 

“You showed me that not everyone is capable of horrible things. That boy. Michael. You proved me wrong about him. In fact you helped him to save the day and those girls. If it weren’t for you having comforted him he may of sided with his mother against me and not got her to talk. “

 

“I’m sure you would of got her to talk some how.”

 

“Maybe. But maybe wouldn’t of been good enough. You saved those girls today Barry, not me. Remember that and don’t let that Woman get you down.”

 

“Thanks Bruce. I’m just glad those girls are alright.”

 

“Me too Barry. Me too.”

 

Sure enough I heard the beeping in my ear of the Justice league communicator activating. Looks like it’s not just Barry I’ll be seeing tonight. We both get the message and look at each other acknowledging the call before racing off, I to the bat-mobile, Barry straight to the incident. Something’s never change.
