We're here for the book
Just after their first meeting before anything can happen between Nightwing and Batman a problem crops up. There are a bunch of Jokerz right there and a creature that looks like it is made from the nightmares of Gotham herself. It stands back but gibbers something at the apparent leader of this group of Jokerz.

"Yeah, yeah I hear ya. Hold yer horses," he slicks back his hair and offers both heroes a grin. "My pal here has asked us ta get something from ya Bats. We want the diary of Randolph Carter. Hand it over or we'll take it from ya. Either way we win."

Twenty Jokerz, a Cthulu spawn, and two of Gotham's finest. This looks good.

	Batman just glares at the Jokerz, running over the stats in his head. He can take them. It's all a matter of precission. "I don't think so." (Reply to this)(Thread)

Nightwing was unimpressed. Crossing his arms over his chest, the elder bat-brat watched the Jokerz with a bored expression, looking between them and then Batman. Well. At least some things never changed, like Batman's penchant for one syllable words.

He looked between Bats and the Jokerz, and then idly fetched his juggling batons from their customary place on his person and then looked to Bats. "Friends of yours, I see?" he then asked with a bit of a smirk. Nightwing knew better that to stroke first, one gave their advantage by striking first.

Bat-tactics 101.

	"Get 'em ya slobs," shouts the leader. A big one in a green clown costume picks on a large trash can and pitches it right at Batman. As it gets closer a few things fall out but the messy projectile is still on it's way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stop, drop, and roll. It's not just for putting out fire. Batman rolled over, tossing a Batarang at a couple of Jokerz. "Yeah," he grumbled, "We're great pals." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The flying trash can was avoided quite easily by Nightwing thanks to a quick backwards handspring. Seeing that Batman had the thrower of the trash can under control, he turned his attention to the Spawn.

"You got those jokers? I got the.. whatever the hell that is." he said, before he took off running and leaped off the side of the building, aiming towards the critter. Halfway down, before he hit the pavement, he fired a jumpline, instantly changing his trajectory, and putting him on a crash-course with the critter.

	"Oh just the bestest," the blond with pig tails and some kind of sparkly green stick. Several of the others charged to attack Batman. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Cthulu spawn raged then attacked. Claws and strength past human strength. It would not let this mortal get in the way of it's goal. It would rip him ad Batman to pieces and feast on their dying flesh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Damn," Terry muttered under his breath. It was going to be a long night, as he went to grab a bolo to hurl at the Jokerz. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nightwing was a crafty guy. Instead of kicking the beast (like he hoped it expected) he dropped just short of the creature and threw several of his 'rangs at it.

With the beast distracted (hopefully), Nightwing sprung away, and brought his juggling batons out to bear. He used them to block the beast's strikes at him, narrowly avoiding his claws. Several dramatic scratches opened up across his suit's chest though, and Dick grit his teeth and redoubled his efforts to avoid it.

	It might take a few out. But there are plenty of others ready to attack. One hurls a bottle of beer with a burning rag stuffed in it at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They get knocked away and it hisses at him. They seemed to have very little effect on the evil creature. It is pleased to have hurt him a little. But it keeps attacking not bothering with the magic it could use to have the hero curling in on himself in terror. It does not think that Nightwing can last against it.

	The beer bottle made contact with Terry's arm, and he fell back a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Despite being outclassed, Nightwing bore his teeth at the creature and continued to attack without stopping. He whirled, using both batons to strike the beast as close to between the eyes as he could manage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Enter one pissed off Atlantean. Cait was NOT HAPPY with the incident in Atlantis and seeing another one of those THINGS just made her angrier. She grabbed some snow and formed a water tentacle. The edges sharpened and she lashed out at the creature. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whoa! We got another heo here," crows one Jokerz and he runs at Cait to attack her. Fire dances across Batman for a moment but the cold winter air helps take care of it. The beer didn't have a high enough alcohol content to burn for long. It was cheap after all. Five Jokerz swarm Batman with punches and kicks. They want to take him down fast and hard.

The spawn sputters in rage as it is cut. It doesn't like the fact this interloper is here.

But it senses her anger. That is good. Yes 'hero' feed into more base emotions. Feed the Great One.

Dick had it stunned for a moment. Spots danced before it's eyes then it bellowed it rage. "F'TGAN!"

It charges at Dick wildly with arms and it's massive tail swinging about wildly.

	"Damn," Terry rolled to douse the fire, quickly grabbing a bolo to toss and wrap around a group of the Jokerz. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nightwing held his ground to the beast, using his acrobatic ability to avoid strikes. He changed his vector of attack, trying a different angle, trying to keep the beast properly entertained. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait grabbed more snow and turned it into water. The tentacle continued to lash at the beast while she sent the new water toward the clown. Right before it reached him it turned to ice. The impact would be quite hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Jokerz tumble to the ground and land on their faces. Others try to jump in to replace the ones Batman took down. Another fires a gun wildly over the ally way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Raaaawwwwwg," shouts the Cthulu spawn. It gets sent flying into a wall by Cait. There are cracks in the bricks and it looks very angry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damn. He's outnumbered, and he knows it. He threw punches, kicks, anything to lessen the horde coming at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Just as Batman was finding himself outnumbered, Nightwing found himself free.

Of course, none of the Jokerz were paying attention to him and so he used that to his favor. Nightwing launched himself at the nearest Jokerz's back, doing his best to fell as many as possible before they start turning around.

He might not have worked with this Batman before, but Nightwing would be damned before any Batman fell while on his watch.

	The very pissed off Atlantean kept up the assault. She pulled more snow and water in around her and formed more tentacles. There were now about eight and she sort of looked liek an octopus. The tentacles sharpened and lashed out in all directions. Some toward the spawn and some toward the Jokerz. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gotham_rogues 2010-02-01 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Which really catches the rest of the Jokerz attention. Six turn to attack Nightwing. There is a chain used like a club sent towards his head. A few Jookerz get sent flying around. Others don't and smack at Batman with fists and feet, and even a glass bottle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
