The Darkest of Knights

"Possibly someone I know... anyways you're too young to date. You have duties as the new Robin, Nicole. You have to realize your responsibilities. Remember when you spent all those months begging me to join in my escapade? You have to be willing to give up everything in order to keep this city safe. Truth, Justice, Honor." Batman said solemnly. The sound of a helicopter could be heard drawing near. "Get ready Robin..."

You can check the info sheet here. I'll be updating it for everyone who gets caught up in the post storms.

"I dated Barbara for a while, even got engaged for a while. But then I moved to Jump City and began dating Starfire. She went back to her home planet. There's nothing but heart break Nicole.." Batman said getting up and falling off the building, expecting Robin to do as he told her as he went to look for a good trash can.

Mame hadn't slept the previous night, nor relieved herself, nor ate, nor drank. Her body buzzed with excited bliss, the commissioner was dead, she had to get out, she had to know why!

Of course she was not a schemer, she couldn't think of some intricate plan that would get her out of Arkham, or even her own room, without getting caught. She wasn't allowed to interact with others, she couldn't bamboozle some poor fool into making a plan for her. So she was frustrated, as anyone would be in such situations.

So the day rolled on, more time between herself and the Bat, more time wasted rotting away in a padded cell. The unstable juvenile had resorted to breaking her most prized possession just to distract herself from the maddening pain of not being free.

She had broken her TV

Using the shattered glass that had embedded itself within her knuckles she proceeded to distract herself, wiggling the protruding bits as if they were loose teeth just begging to be pulled. But pull them she would not, she needed the stimulation to remain thoughtless, a bloody glass filled hand was better then a missing tongue, or pulled teeth, or bald spots produced from tugging at her long hay tinted hair.

It wasn't until the thud happened that her brain comprehended something was wrong, something was different and if she hadn't been drugged it would have terrified her. The buzzing of her door knob had stopped, proceeding the loss of power in the lower levels of Arkham. The flickering lights of her cell and the now harmless knob were followed by a large fat vine slamming her door into the opposite wall, before it settled there, lazily taking root in her once pristine environment. The vine however was not what caught the startled girls attention, the screaming of inmates and the sight of them running freely just out in the dim hallway is what drew Mame forward towards freedom.

Whoever had done this...She owed them a macaroni picture.

Batman was hiding in a large trash can, he heard foot steps pass by him. One stopped. He could feel one man was standing outside the trash can. He was alone, he stepped forward and opened the top and Batman pulled him in and shut the lid, he knocked out the poor SWAT operative in a quick minute. He touched his ear, "Robin, what's your status?" He asked looking for and succeeding in finding the man's radio. He stepped out listening in on all their conversations and took a turn every time he would hear someone report making that turn. He was narrowly escaping them, making his way back to Robin.

"No, I'm out. And it actually smelled like peaches in there." Batman said still having the SWAT's radio next to his ear, turning back and forth. Slowly making progress to the building. "What type of building are you in? Can you use your surroundings incase something happens?" Batman asked.

(Thanks M, sry again btw)
After some trouble with humans, Nickoli, Sky, and Jersey were able to work with the police. SWAT really. "Are we really go-" Nickoli started, "Yes." Jersey said coldly. Nickoli was about to start asking something else but Jersey cut him off. "Now shut up." He jumpped from the heilcopter. Sky shrugged at Nickoli and jumpped, Nickoli fallowed. Mid air, Jersey morphed into the Jersey Devil. Grabbing Sky and Nickoli he spred his wings and flew over the buildings until he saw a broken window. He landed next to in and before he could change back into a human, Sky and Nickoli hit the floor of the building. The two landed on their feet. "Where's Batman, Robin?" Sky asked.

Jersey stayed on the roof as look out. He saw someone aproching. He smelled familer. Just like... Batlike wings sprouted from his back and Jersey landed in front of Batman. "End of the line Batman."

"I'm going to have to talk to you later Robin... I seem to have run into a peculiar adversary." He said getting in fighting stance. "You're with them?" He asked referring to The SWAT.

"Sadly." He got ready to charge. "What made you switch sides? Thought you were all hero, what changed?" Jersey's nails slowly grew to 3ft and his eyes slowly became black.

"Well he's a murderer now, so he's going behind bars." Nickoli said. "That's not proven Nickoli. Still Batman should prove himself innocent." Sky said and turned back to Robin, "So... where is he?" Nickoli noticed Robin going for her belt and was grabbing her wrist before she knew it.

Batman's eyebrow raised at his "Lady deathstrike-like" nails. "You don't understand whoever you are. I didn't, wouldn't kill the commissioner. We have a mutual friend that keeps us close." Batman said analyzing him, he was waiting for the first strike so he could determine how this mysterious man could move. He was positive he could dodge the first attack, possibly strike a perry. Though it wouldn't be smart.

E-Lu's illusion ocean vanished temporarily, now he was in an overcrowded ancient city, only everything had a pinkish tint...he peered out into the world again, catching sight of a fight and a particularly large group of SWAT, he looked with gleeful interest. He watched with interest the fight between Robin and Sky/Nickoli.

Seab propped himself up, watching Luna, Ivy and Zero, ready to follow them to wherever, all he had to do now was hope they knew what the hell they were doing. And hope they weren't hostile. And on an off-chance, that their senses were dull, but he doubted it.
"Fly up, several perspectives would be useful." Seab whispered to Hac in the hawk's own language.
"Alright. Don't lose them." Hac replied in a screech, as he flew into the sky and kept an eye on them.

"I say Greenwich. We may have to sneak past some police," Ivy smirked, "But I bet we can take them." Her hands flashed that oh so familiar glow. "Greenwich...that's a little north of here, right?" She asked her teammates. She didn't even notice Seab.

He grunted. "Tell that to the SWAT teams and cops out for your head." Jersey then grew fangs, "So you going to go with me to the cops or you gonna lose some blood?"

"We don't have to fight. Nicole. Really, we have no need now." Nickoli said. "Sky, he's outside." With that Sky morphed into a werewolf and rushed through a wall, not feeling a thing. "Nicole, I know you and Batman are close but, justice is justice. He could prove he's innocent." He held out his hand to her, "Why now help us help him then?"

"I work through pain." Batman said cracking his knuckles, "But I pump battery acid, you can have my blood." he said beckoning him to make his move.

Nickoli took his hand back. "I don't trick people. I also trust no one. This might be hard but your on the wrong side Nicole." He got his fangs ready, just in case. "If he didn't do it who did then?" The whole time his voice was emotionless.

Jersey growled and charged Batman. Swipping at him with his claws. Sky had finally found them after going through alot of walls. Seeing Jersey going for Batman she hung back. Ready to help Jersey if needed, or stop him from killing.

Batman ducked and dodged, throwing a side-kick at Jersey. He noted that the man was extremely fast and he had to watch out for his nails; they could be strong than they looeked, of course he didn't know until he actually felt the nails touch skin.

After climbing over the fat throbbing vine and tumbling into the hallways, Mame looked about in a weak daze. All the other solitary confinement patience were running about, two of which were currently beat an orderly' face in with what appeared to be a clipboard. The blonde youth looked down to the floor and picked up one foot after the other, the edges of her pant legs were sopping wet due to the flooded nature of the floor. ( She wasn't even going to think about why it was flooded)

The added weight on her pants loosened the drawstrings and forced the waistline to sag down, exposing her pale hip bones and threatening to fall off her skinny frame if she did not attend to them quickly. She grabbed the waistline and hefted it up, gripping it tightly as she trudged through the vine infested water. For the most part the inmates ignored each other, they might have been crazy but they knew how it worked in this joint, it wasn't much different then prison and there was a reason some cells were more secure then others.

Her door was the only one that was electrified on this level. The other rioting inmates knew not to pester her, or risk the fate she had attempted to bestow upon one very unlucky inmate named Jervis.

Mame moved towards the stairs that led to the upper floors, certainly the costumed inmates had already escaped, she wouldn't be seeing them in here. Her mind was still trying to comprehend what was happening, even if her body screamed in delightful waves of shivers, the stimulation she was feeling was lost to her drug idled brain.

Upon walking up the stairs to the next floor she turned the corner, remembering where the exit door was as it was all she could think about before she was transfered to solitary. Her bare feet smacked sloppily against the linoleum tiles, leaving red tinted water trails behind her, her blue pants already wicking with the red from the victims below...And she hadn't even cut anyone yet.

Her eyes were squinted, her skin on fire, fevered from the rush of adrenaline that her brain was still unable to react too. She hadn't been out and about in a long long time, her weekly walks was all she had gotten, and due to recent events it had been skipped. She hadn't actually seen outside of her room in two long long weeks. But now, even with the drugs, she was feeling what could accurately be described as Happy

She turned left down a hall, filled with chaos and woe, doctors being killed or raped, or worse. Orderlies and guards being beaten to red little smears in the once clean floors. The pale blonde did stop for a moment as she watched an inmate known as Zsasz mutilate himself, crouching low over a female doctor as he carved a tally mark into his forearm. He looked up at her, she looked back at him, they shared a silent moment and then each went their respective ways, neither of them were particularly interested in one another. However the familiar face, the recognizable behavior did spark a bit of life in the girls clouded eyes.

"You must be confused then. You really should stick have stayed on the hero side." Without warning Nickoli pinned Robin to a wall. "Don't move. Just sleep." (power of control here)

Jersey sliced at Batman's chest. Mad that he couldn't slip back into his old ways. "Why did you ever do it Bats? Thrill? Revenge? Just mad?" All Jersey had to do was stall. The SWAT team was coming. He thought they were anyways. Finally getting a hit in Jersey smiled alittle. He knew it felt cold at first. Little pain, then numb, then burning. The burning from the cut would spred and hurt. (So we are or aren't calling hits then?)

(Uhm.. okay, for now but only because I know we're not going for seriously crippling hits.)

Batman stumbled back a bit: Faster than I thought, keep a good eye on his nails. Trickster moves like liquid. I've fought liquid before, or something close to that. Never mind, wait for another one. Wait. "I didn't kill the commissioner out of cold blood. I know I didn't." He might have killed the commissioner, he really didn't know; but he does know that he would have never killed anyone that Bruce was close to. Ever.

Jeresy came running at him again, Batman ducked and went for a straight uppercut sending him off the ground and pounding on the cold and wet floor.

E-Lu blinked as Robin prompted become knocked out. Laughing a bit, he worked an illusion. A second Robin came into existence next to the real one. The tell-tale is it lacked any scent or taste. The duplication shook Robin, trying to wake her.
"Come on, can't end a good fight yet." it laughed. E-Lu, back at his bunker, was laughing in excitement, he didn't know why, he never knew, though he didn't quite care either.

Sky heard the explosion and ran inside. She growled at the second Robin, not seeing the first one. Her fur sticking up on her back. "Calm Skyfire." Nickoli said getting up. "What is this? Two Robins?" Sky didn't care and ran at Robin 2.0 and had her down to the floor. Growling and snapping at her.

Jersey got up rubbing his jaw. "Then why? Oh I've heard the 'I didn't do it' act before. I've used it before too. Not gonna work Batman." With that, he turned into the Jersey Devil, grabbed Batman in one hand, and threw him.

Jersey grabbed Robin's leg and threw her at Batman. He thought Sky would be all p*ssed off and come over ranting that they were good guys, blah blah blah. But when he turned to see her, expecting her freaking out, he saw she had been hit and was slowly healing. Nostrails flaring he roared and charged Batman and Robin.

Karmy groaned as she awoke, but regretted it immediately. Her neck hurt like hell.. Looking around, she saw Casius and Cyrah close. "Hey guys... How long was I out this time?" she asked, her voice hoarse. After chugging a pot of burning coffee and having her neck stepped on, not to mention a previous history or a neck slashing, Karmys speech was starting to become affected.

Robin #2 looked up at the snarling...whatever it was, E-Lu didn't quite know. What was once for realism's sake, but now an impulse, E-Lu made his illusions react to their environments, so even though the Robin was an illusion, it was pinned. Robin #2 laughed as it squirmed a hand free and one of the sticks E-Lu watched Robin use materialized in it's hand. It went on whacking Nickoli with all it's might. Even though it was an illusion, didn't mean it got the training of the person...
