Present Day.......Gotham City........

Batman The Shifting Sands Of Crime

His name is Commisoner James "Jim" Gordon , a tall , dark brown mid lengthed haired , mid aged slender built man with a long face , a slight dark brown thin mustache and deep dark eyes. He is wearing a pair of black rectangular rimmed eyeglasses , a dark brown trenchcoat , a crumpled looking white dress shirt , a black necktie , a pair of dark brown clothy pants and a pair of black dressy shoes. He is the local commisioner of police in Gotham City , an esteemed veteran of the force. It is nighttime and him and several other but fully uniformed policemen working around and about him at this now particular crimescene at the end of a very long narrow dark aged alleway leading up onto a main looking and populated street , there a few parked red , blue and pink flashing lit local , black and white painted police cars parked ahead and parrelel up at this semi wide dark aged shadowy alleyway's end. Down across and along this main street's topish end of this aged dark cement ground is a crumpled up and very fallen collapsed dead looking mid heighted man is sprawled out and outstretched down all along his right curled up abit full leftside. A long faced ex beady eyed light brown haired slender dark clothed clothy man with also a pair of black hi topped sneakers , his eyes propped wide deathly open , his long face contorted snarlyingly , his long arms folded up abit down in front of himself. All under this fallen dead male person is a large dirt earthy sand semi mounded and scattered all around and about this body's basic outersides , a light tannish brown gradual spread about looking beachy or desert type looking sand. Gordon tiredly sighs abit curiously turning around peering down this very long narrow dark aged alleyway and sees nothing but dark shadowy gareish space and distance ahead between the dark aged brickfacedish parrelel spread apart alleyway walls. just then one of the uniformed cops approaches over towards Gordon's rightside and curiously asks over to him , "we are "almost" wrapped up here for now....what should we do now...Commisoner...?" Gordon casually replies back over to him , "We "wait" Officer Jenkins....we wait for backup....." Officer Jenkins with his long youngish face squints his dark blue eyes and semi curiously asks then , "Ok sir....backup you say....Commissoner....I do not know of any....?" Gordon slightly smirks back over ahead to him now reglancing back over to his left and back up along this dark aged shadowy alleyway again and even casualler remarks , "Just "wait" for it....ok....? Matter of fact I thought I heard it coming this way....that's why I'm "kinda" looking down here for....."If" you must know..... Tell yer men to "just" standby...for now....officer..." Officer Jenkins semi polietely and semi puzzeledly looks back over to him and flatly replies , "Sure sir...sounds good Commisoner....very well then...." Gordon now indeed hears it for sure , the incoming roaring type car type engine approaching indeed from down this actual long narrow aged alleyway. Officer Jenkins ever more so confusedly abit stares alongside and semi distantly ahead beyond and beside Gordon's casually standing and peering rightside , and also further down this dark cementish shadowy alleyway. Suddenly about a hundred feet away now an actual wide , squareish lowriding mid sized sports car looking tank appears shimmering as a mild electric

looking flash of dull encompassing unsheathing looking wide outline of light happens revealing the very vehicle that is indeed driving and slightly manuvering ahead. It reveals itself fully now to be the very indeed , in fact Batmobile. A wide square flattish frontended low to the ground black metal and contructed but sporty countoured , black cushiony slight rollcage of a cockpit , sleek wide flat inward tilting abit shaped and countoured rear ended sides. Four outstreched and sportily poised large black rubbery treaded tires , two at each squatting set slender rectangular sides. Centrally up front also parrelel to each other is a pair of rectangular squareish halogen beaming headlights, both shining ultra brightly and luminous ahead and ahead as this Batmobile slightly roaringly travels on and onward ahead and ahead down this dark aged shadowy alleyway. Batmobile is in fact being driven and manuvered ahead by Batman , Gotham City's own all around superhero type , who wears a bat shaped black leathery semi armored two parrelel horned long faced cowl of sorts with inset deep dark eye sockets revealing his deep dark eyes , his youngish mid aged face casually staring further ahead and ahead of this dark aged shadowy alleyway. His black leathery semi armored suit is as like many things here contoured to this man's semi muscular six packed abdomened slender body , at its upper mid section rests a mid sized circular dark yellow and bat shaped insigniaed circle. At his waist a dark yellow vertical utlity belt with several vertically spaced small horizontal capsule shaped segments all along it. Batman is also wearing a pair of black long leathery thin gloves , a pair of long slender black leathery looking boots and from is semi armored black leathery shoulders is an actual long unfurled lengthy cape enwrapped semi around himself. Batman continues to now visably speed down his vehicle gradually to a slow and slower pace. Officer Jenkins now even curiouser toned asks over to Gordon , "Wha...what's that...? Commisoner.....?" Gordon contently and semi proudly toned replies , "Backup." Officer Jenkins all the while still watching now the Batmobile pulling up and parking to a gradual stop and a few feet in front and away from their far upper leftside of this alleyway , it now finally parks quietly to a stop. Its wide slender rectangular flattish cockpit's full topside then hydrollically slides foward and open. Officer Jenkins semi dumbfoundedly remarks , "No way huh....is "that" the...Batmobile....? Commisoner...?" Gordon flatly quips back over to him , "Good guess....officer..." Batman now semi hopping up and out of his Batmobile's driverside and swiftly steps up and out of it and down onto the dark cement aged alleyway and casually faces over towards Commisoner Gordon and Officer Jenkins , then casually walks , steps and strides on ahead and over towards them. Gordon greetingly exclaims abit over ahead to him , "Welcome back....bit of a "beachy" looking scene this "is"....sorry to buzzkill your recent rearrival and all...hope you are well....?" Batman walks up and stops semi curiously staring past Officer Jenkin's rightside and downward upon this alleyway's far ended ground , then looks back up and over to Officer Jenkins and then Gordon once again. He then firmly but semi casually replies back over ahead , "Sounds fun already....do I need a shovel...?" Gordon then curiouser toned asks , "How was New York....? You ok...?" Batman then flatly informingly replies back over to him , "Two clowns of a kind...both running amuck and criminally of course...but "hopefully" it's all wrapped out....can we "ever" truly know....?" Gordon then semi smirks back over at him and casually replies , "Well..."unfortunately" as I said...over here in the last few days anyways...we got some kinda..."sandstorm" of sorts left here and there....let alone at a local bank nearby the other day....one that got broke into straight from outside the vault....some "joker" no offense busted through it and grabbed out about three mill....and got away with it..."sofar"..... bummer of incidents here since your week away...have you previously before "this" last week or of any time angered off any "sandmen" or anything....?" Batman casually replies , "sounds way more like a "Spiderman" villian to me..ala Flint Marko and whonot of course.....I wouldn't be surprised if "it" was clay....of course again....but sand....offhand....dunno..." Gordon then slightly reglimpses back over at Officer Jenkins and nonchalantly remarks , "Oh by the way...this is Officer Jenkins..."this" is Batman....Batman....this is..." Batman also now reglances back over ahead at Officer Jenkins yet again and flatly remarks , "Hope you like your job officer....especially hanging with Gordon can be hazardous enough..." Gordon slightly semi sarcastically smirks abot more so back over at Batman as Officer Jenkins flatly comments , "Job's ok....plus it's nice to meet you...Bat-man..." Batman very mildly amusedly smiles abit back over ahead at him. Gordon then customarily states , "Allright Officer....go tell your guys to clear out...thanks then..." Officer Jenkins politely replies

back over to him , "Sure...right sir..." He then repolietly smiles back over ahead to Batman then back again to Gordon then returns and walks casually back and away back over towards the other still several clipboard , flashlight and plastic bag carrying uniformed police officers and parked copcars. Gordon deeper tireder sighs and casually informingly stating over back ahead to Batman , "Just to jump to the punchline here....of all kinds of sand it "could" be...from the desert type sand....the lab boys ran it through the many , many databases...plus some of 'em happen to side know about such geological...stuff....it's at least ta say consist with very similar desert type sand...but something to do with its densitys , volumes , grandules and whatnot...feel free take some samples with ya...." He again pauses and flater toned adds , "On the plus side of things my daughter Barbara has moved back into the city...."and" my acid reflux has finally cleared up." Batman mildly puzzeledly pauses and flatly replies , "Good on those two things "Jim"....besides that you say desert type sand....don't know quite what bell "just" rang off in me but....makes me instantly guess at what desert...unless its just your basic run of the mill no pun intended sand made say locally...." Gordon semi sarcastcally remarks , "Just trying to give ya the "digest" version....could be a landscaper killer....or maybe an over the edge lifeguard....? Maybe somebody's beating people with a sandbag or leaking punching bag...?" Batman pauses again and flater toned replies back over to him , "Nothing much else here....? Prints...? Witnesses...? Any basic Damages....?" Gordon casually more so informs back over ahead to him , "Here goes....this guy here was running out of this alley when "supposedly" forensically put someone large grabbed him , attacked him somehow...then according to the coroner whose already been here tonight....this guy was bearhugged and crushed to death....his torso is like a skeletal crumpled tincan...I'd suggest not to touch it...might fall apart...." He pauses then nonchalantly adds , "A few going byers saw this guy laying here called "us" in...best guess he's been dead for like an hour so far...only thing we got are some big ass bootprints , nothing else...no hairs , no fingerprints....nothing else..."fun" huh....?" Batman firmly replies back over ahead to him , "Bootprints you say...?" Scant seconds later now Batman is crouching ahead and down at this fallen , crumpled dead man's body's far leftside seeing indeed a large rectangular rounded type bootprint inset upon and within the scattered thin dirt earhty sand. Batman's slender right black gloved hand's thumb click and pressing a small round dark yellow plasticy cap in on a slender black tinted plastic looking vial , it is filled now with some indeed some of this grounded scattered dirt earhty sand. Batman now relowers it to his utility belt's far right vertical side and click clackingly puts it away along there , all the while as he now fully stands back up beside this very dead male crumpled looking body. Batman then firmly remarks , "I'll run it through my Batcomputer anyalsis...I'll get you if any results...it can scan for between domestic and foreign sand types if need any be to seek out..." Gordon then flatly replies , "Right....the labguys checked that too...they were leaning towards foreign made...but so far in the last half hour it's an inconclusive hunch...."I'll let you know some stuff as usual if it comes up...." Gordon then more so yet again pauses and then casually and semi sarcastically remarks , "Sorry "it's" not a welcome back party...." Batman grimly and dissapointedly replies , "I understand all too well...again Commisoner....bound to happen again and again..."unfortunately"..." Gordon then nonchalantly muses , "Could always go have a drink sometime if ya need to....right...?" Batman then flatly replies back over ahead to him , "A long deserved nap , a bath then a drink....or breakfast...or both...." Gordon amusedly laughs a little back over to him , and warmly comments , "I hear that all "too" well too....hah....pick all or any of this up till tomorrow...sounds good to me too..." Batman then thinly amusedly smirks and smiles back over to him now as well. Meantime nearby a few blocks east a long , lanky shaped black bird flutters and lands atop a vertical dark wooden windowsill of an opened dark aged wooden window. It is a large poised , resting semi crouched black crow of a bird with a long downward curved billed , small black beady eyed face and blackest of long feathered feathers. It looks left then right and actually now squacks abit , then abit more so. From within this dark wooden trimmed aged opened window's small dark wooden dimly lit room now happens some semi heavy footsteps over ahead to this windowsill and black resting crow. It is the footsteps of a now revealing dark shadowy male semi portly proportioned and shaped form , a

shortish roundish man's shadow , upon him is a tall , possible looking dark shadowy dressy top hat of sorts. The black crow flutters its wings again and turns more so over ahead to this now approaching roundish short top hatted man towards him step by step now. Stopping a few feet away from all this now stepping ahead more into this room's dim overheaded lights this man reveal himself now to this very bird upon this windowsill. He indeed is wearing a dark purple top hat looking styled hat , has black mid lengthed parted to the left hair , round squinty type eyes , long pointy nose , a roundish mid aged face and thin mouth. He is also wearing a pair of thin roundish rimmed metal eyeglasses , a white dress shirt , black bowtie and a black three piece suit looking tuxedo , white sox and a pair of black dressy shoes. This man squints and squacks doward and ahead directly at this black crow and then greetingly remarks , "Welcome back baby..." This man's name is Oswald Cobblepot , a semi seemingly reformed ex supervillian of this very city. His ex professional name is and was The Penguin , a very antartic bird and other birdlike and umbrella weapony filled modus apprendi themed supervillian. He is now within this average loft looking dark wooden space of a room with a large cushiony bed , couch and low set dark wooden table and a few thin unfolded black chairs all placed and or also scattered about this room. Cobblepot now curiously inspectingly stares and peers downward at this black crow's taloned black spiny type feet and sees a light tan dirt earthy material there somewhat smeared there. Cobblepot squackingly then states musingly , "Well Brandy....it looks like you have dirt on you..mayhaps say...sand...? Have you been at a beach or mountain top somewhere...? Maybe a playground...?" The black crow Brandy looks back more so tilting his head abit right then upward then downward and squacks a few more times. Cobblepot thinkingly pauses refocusing back up at this bird's beaked black face again and casually muses , "Ah...somewhere near...." He pauses then as apologetically toned replies , "Do not mind me Brandy...it has been awhile since my..."birdenese" days...you know I have been away for months at a time at Arkham asylum up upon that accursed hill of sorts..."untill" nowadays of course....plus "these" are some of my only clothes I "still" have left...squack , squack....I need to buy more...." Brandy as though puzzeledly pauses then squacks three more times fluttering futrther his face left and right around and about yet again. Cobblepot then casually and firmly toned contently remarks , "Over on the ground near..."some" building you say....a bank's building....hfmmm.....mayhaps "just" a median strip on a sidewalk...?" Brandy then squacks once more and fully turns towards his far leftside his bill poking pointing ahead abit , then he neck twitches abit refacing upward back over yet again to Cobblepot. Cobblepot semi distantly stares up and over through this opened window again but this time curiouser further left then right again and flatly comments , "A bank you say.....? Hffmmphh....mayhaps interesting.....maybe just...routine....?" Cobblepot then deeply sighs a slight deep sigh and reglances yet again back downward at Brandy and nonchalantly states , "Very well then....out of "pure" curiousity....I'll make a phonecall and get some of this...sand tested...especially since all of those recent rash of murders marred by such the substance...of course...." He yet again pauses and then firmer muses , "Mayhaps nothing of "real" concern either....the other day some other bank outta town was hit...and "that" sand stuff was found all over there at it too....besides the murders...of course....mayhaps this sand results in money getting...ha..." He once again more pauses and then nonchalantly more so directly looking yet again down ahead at Brandy quips , "but also as "I" have already said today...I nomore a foul penguin be...if someone else has a fortunate scam involving sand...no matter...murders have happened and "that" is quite wrong...how terrible of them....I "would" never murder "anymore" the days of mine....plus the criminal act of breaking into any bank is also "quite" wrong to do....especially anymore....my days of such are overwith well so....." He yet once again pauses and then firmly musingly asks , "Right....?" Brandy ever so slightly to him maybe only retwitches his long black feathry neck , shrugs his slender black feathered thin bony long shouldered flappy arms and wings abit , then squacks once more. About an hour later nearby west outside of a darkened aged warehouse's right sided entraneway is parked several black painted and gold trimmed looking vans parked there in a row alongside the side alleyway's leftside. There are two large black thin doors propped widely open and apart as visably there are several dark shadowy assorted aged and looking people clad in black leathery long as like cloakish clothes , white clothy gloves each

and boots walking about and around with casual armloads of carried dark card board boxes within their folded up arms down before themselves over to these outside parked black gold trimmed vans. The first black gold trimmed van's both rear thin metal doors are semi slammed firmly shut reclosed and then this van proceeds to drive casually on away and ahead further along this dark aged long alleyway. Now the second van revves up to life as well and also now begins to casually manuver and pass out into and ahead further of this dark aged alleyway as well. Two more black cloaked type male looking assorted people walk right over and reachingly recloses its large sidedoors back reshut closed together again , as the other remainding man walks over and upward into this van's open dual doors and inside the very interior of this squarish vehicle. The second black cloaked type man passes in yet another dark cardboard box up into the rear of this still parked rear opened van , then also hoistingly abit steps firmly up and into this van as well. The rear thin metal black doors then are firmly reclosed back shut as this very van just like the previous two others drives up and casually away also ahead down this dark aged shadowy alleyway. Just then a slight metal shinging noise happens as suddenly way down far below this third van's rear vertical metal bumper a small and short , flat jagged dark pinkish purple metal throwing star type thing is thrown and tossed distantly from up and over from this nightime's dark blueish aired night's sky. It firmly but quietly embedds and sticks itself inward and has a very minature roundish red light upon it. Somehow someway also this object is actually the cresent downward shaped wide bat shape. Not a Battarang which would be one of Batman's many fabled of favorite tools , but something simlar looking , just abit soft edged somewhat by its curvy downward cresentish , outstretched flat shape. the black gold trimmed van drives on and onward obliviously and casually on ahead and ahead , further and further now reaching one of the very ends of this long narrow side alleyway's furthest rightside the after breifly pausing takes a wide casual leftturn on futher and further ahead and away , the very small electronic red light barely being seen somewhat hanging under still the rear vertical bumper. Upward across this long narrow alleyway high atop a dark aged building's flat rooftop indeed stands a bat humanoidish shaped person with long dark auburnish hair , a short slender figure of what also indeed seems very womanly. A short curvy dark purple bat suited similarally youngish looking woman with a dark purple leathery , two parellel slender horned , black trimmed at and around its inset eyesockets a cowled and inset petite faced slender curvy woman with dark brownish eyes , a sleek semi armored body along her clothy and spadexish youngish looking body with also a dark purple long leathery cape , along her petite chubby waist is a vertical dark yellow metallic utility belt looking belt. long dark purple gloves and slender dark purplish colored boots. Upon her upper chest is a yellow bat shape displayed decoratively there just above her supple buldging mid sized breasts. Along with having long auburnish straight hair she has a cuteish little face , light facial makeup and dark purple lipstick upon her full , youngish looking facial lips. In her slender left long dark purple gloved hand she is holding even indeed what appears to be a handheld , squareish electronic glassy blackish digital looking scanner with neon vertical wavering lights of digital grided lines along and across it. This point of view aspect rises and rises up along this dark aged ominous building and casually rests to a stop at this bat inspired youngish bat suited woman. She is inquisitively glancing down and ahead at her poised handheld scanner's dark digital screen , then back downward off to the lower far left back down the dark shadowy alleyway and deeply tiredly sounding sighs a deep sigh. Half an hour later now the third black and gold trimmed van is now pulling up outside the rear of a dark dingy aged warehouse at a seemingly looking loading dock , the van is parked with its squareish rearend pulled up and parked with its thin black metal doors widely slung open behind it. Out in front of this van's drivers side stands three of the black clothed , white gloved dark shadowy men , all inspectingly staring over at this van and the adjacent loading dock. They are also casually and quietly conversing abit amidst themselves on and onward , this dingy overheaded aged streetpoled about lighting revealing that indeed these three are also wearing somewhat what looks as like white facial masks upon themselves , white bandaged up looking faces. The middle standing around man turns towards the left standing man more so and directly asks him something curiously , the man on the left casually remarks something back over to him. Just then a loud sudden swooshing noise happen's as from behind

these three white masked , black cloaked men's collective rearsides and swiftly down from out of this night times dark blueish sky and landing black boots first slightly squattingly is Batman , his long black leathery cape swooshing down all around him and onto the aged ground. These three black cloaked white bandaged faced men automatically turn and whirl around and curiously face over ahead to Batman as he now fully stands up semi distantly behind them three. Batman then firmly and gruffily remarks right over to them , "You guys in a "club" pledge or soriety....?" The tallest black cloaked white bandaged faced man in the middle of these three more so directly squints his dark beady eyes back over at him then very gesturingly flaps open his long slender arms and flat hands and proceeds to firmly and loudly clap his long hands together , then again then again. Batman firmly annoyedly quips , "No time for applause....I'm "just" curious here...what are you...doing here tonight....? Let alone what that van is doing here makes no sense here and there really shouldn't be "any" trespassers...here...ok....? Party's over...." The tallest black cloaked white bandaged man then turns fully over gesturingly pointing and semi distantly with his long right slender hand and fingers way back over towards the parked black gold trimmed van. as he does this the other two shorter black cloaked white bandaged faced men part the way apart as this other taller man's right flat hand and fingers gesture pointing ahead and semi distantly. Way over at the parked black and gold trimmed van's right passengerside a sidedoor is now very much heavily sliding open sideways to the far left and opening up , a large long muscular white bandaged leg and white bandaged booted foot steps out and downward atop the aged ground as continuingly a very large black cloaked , white bandaged faced man now fully gets up and out and now stands besides its passengerside and stares curiously up and way over at the other three black cloaked , white bandaged faced three and Batman's inquisitive staring back over stare. Batman then tiredly but firmly toned remarks back over to the tallest black cloaked , white bandaged faced man , "Oh great....a "fourth" one to arrest...such as it be...." This larger muscular black cloaked white bandaged faced man walks and walks nearer and nearer towards these three others and Batman , the three other cloaked men ever more so part aside and away off to far right and leftsides now of Batman's front still gazing around frontside. The larger muscular black cloaked , white bandaged faced man stops walking a few feet away from Batman and now proceeds to take off his large black clothy cloak and drops it downward behind his large muscular rightside and down onto the dark aged cement ground. Batman stands his ground and then sharply casually asks , "You wanna fall down gently....or fall down hard....?" This fully bodied mummy looking large muscular man now pounces a few more steps aggressively ahead and over to Batman. Batman defensibly and swiftly jumps back a swift step backwards and then proceeds to whirl his long black gloved hand ahead of himself and tosses a handfull of something right ahead and over towards this large muscular white bandaged and booted man. This man abruptly stops rushing ahead and slowly steps to a gradual stop as several small marble shaped beaded objects , dark blue ones bounce and instantly exploding upon impact turn into a series of small exploding dark blue smoky balls of inky chemical type smoke. Batman semi puzzeledly stares back ahead and over at this still standing , very not reacting to this array of inky dark blue now frontally smokering man. Ever more so abruptly now this large muscular white bandaged man now briskly pounces once more agressively ahead at Batman. Batman instantly braces himself and blocks back with his swinging around and about long black leathery arms and gloved hands before himself.This larger muscular man is quickly already around and upon him and firmly reaches and wraps his long muscular arms and white bandaged hands right all around him and briskly begins somewhat bearhugging him and pinning his long black arms and hands painfully together and crushingly. Batman sharply curses up and at this man's large white bandaged face and instintively headbutts upwards into it , this large muscular man unflinchingly stands and stares with his beady black eyes down right back at him. Batman struggles and writhes as now this large muscular man in the full white bandages hoists him up and off of the aged ground and more so up before himself , his large muscular arms and hands begining to more so crush , tighten and constrict more and more. Batman painfully curses and struggles seemingly uselessly and uneffectingly against this man again and again , but his kicking black boots and legs angrilly thrashing and flailing abit. This large muscular white bandaged man now even more so proceeds to bearhug and crush at

Batman pressing and pressing him vicelike further and closer upon his full frontside more and more so. Batman's concerned painfull looking snarling face and mind racing and racing thinkingly , all the while still agonisingly struggling and struggling. Batman's long right black leathery arm and black gloved hand strongly and desperately trying to reach and reach down towards his waists left lowerside , and down towards his dark yellow metallic utility belt's far rightside but still seemingly just cannot reach it as of yet at all. Suddenly out from behind this white bandaged muscular man a metal chinging noise happens and a dark purple Battarang shaped and looking weapon with a small red light upon it is thrown , tossed and flung ahead and embedded into this large man's upper right shoulderblade , the small red light blinks a few quick paced times and promptly explodes into a red orangey firey blast. The large muscular bandaged man shudders and partially releases Batman's crumpling up black leathery semi armored body from his large , white bandaged long muscular arms and hands's enwrapping constricted arms. Batman limply falls boots first back down atop the aged dark cement ground and slowly collapses ahead onto the dark aged ground as well. , somewhat up on his bent up elbows and knees. His long black gloved hand finally reaching down at his utility belt and presses a small black button upon its far rightside. The large muscular white bandaged man sharply turns fully over to his far leftside curiously posed and staring ahead. Abruptly out ahead from this long dark alleyway's shadows emerges the Batmobile and it is racing ahead and over towards Batman and this large muscular mummy looking man's direction , its halogen headlights brightly beaming ahead semi distantly. At the last few moments possible Batman now lunges semi wearily over to the dark aged ground's further rightside as The Batmobile now rapidly reaches and plows squarely into the large muscular mummy bandaged man's full tallish wide frontside , in effect plowing into and running right into him. This large muscular mummy looking man is hurled violently backwards and away as The Batmobile screechingly comes to a quickly cushioned abrupt stop. This large muscular white bandaged man tumbles head over heels backwards downward roughly and across this dark aged cement long shadowy alleyway's ground and gradually to a full backsided sprawled out thumping falling stop. Batman now very slowly and seemingly agonisingly fully stands back up sharply cursing in pain once again. Right downward next to Batman's far leftside swoopingly landing slender boots first lands the dark purple semi armored spandexy clothed and dark booted youngish woman lands semi crouchingly and fully stands back up and warmly looks over at him , an almost playfull glint within her inset deep dark eyes. She briskly informingly states , "Hey...Bat...man..."that" dude you were just tit for tatting with...."he's" an android...." Batman very curiously and gruffily asks back over to her , "And "that" would make "you"....who then...?" This youngish bat dressed , long auburn haired dark purple clad woman warmer toned replies , "I am "Batgirl"...ok...for now deal with it...ok...?" Batman very confusedly squints his deep inset eyes and dumbfoundedly asks , "Say what...your a...what...?" Batgirl now staring back ahead semi distantly ahead of both of them and back ahead towards the fallen large muscular mummy looking man and now sees him very slowly sits right back up fully. She sharply urges , "I'll "explain" later ok...we're gonna haveta deal right now again with old moldy looking first..."agreed"?" Batman reglimpses ahead and also now back over to this very sitting up large white bandaged mummy looking being and firmly annoyedly states , "This "is" not some...game..."whoever" you claim to be...." Meanwhile the three black cloaked white bandaged assorted men rush at and around this still rearend parked black and gold trimmed squareish van's front door's and frantically paced reaches and opens each one then all three proceed to jump into the van , both front doors reclosing quickly reshut. It starts off and veers away and off to the far right turning around and speeds off down the rest of this dark aged shadowy alleyway. The large muscular mummy "android" now standing back fully up and begins to walk firmly back ahead and over towards Batman and now Batgirl's as well direction. Batgirl then sharply asks , "Now what "do" we do here...Batman...huh...should I q.b "this" or you...?" Batman begrudgingly toned remarks , "You leave..."I" got this...." Batgirl dissapointedly replies , "Not a good idea man...this biggen is pretty much...troublecity...as if you "can't" already tell....?" Batman flatly quips back over to her , "Says "you"...."

This large muscular mummy looking being now begins running briskly ahead its long muscular arms and hands swinging by its sleek sides as it runs and runs on and onward faster and faster. Batgirl then turns more so and quickly urges to Batman , "Gas pellets...Battarangs...flashbangs..."kicking ass".....so far nothing works on it..." Batman then briskly and gruffily toned replies back , "Think I got a "mental" ace up my sleeve...hope I'm right..." Batgirl faintly remarks , "try "not" to sound to sure of yourself...."hero" man...yikes..." This large muscular white clothy bandaged mummy looking android now reaches and nears and nears this still standing there twosome , seemingly quicker and swifter ahead directly more so. Batman all at once sprintingly darts running straight ahead and back directly quicker and quicker right ahead towards this attacking force's incoming traveling path. Batgirl confusedly watching after him and casually remarks , "Oh jeez...huh...?" The large muscular mummy being and Batman now very much nearly full frontally plummet and collide headlong into each other right untill only a few mere rapidly shrinking distance between one another. At this point Batman lunges upward and tucking in and up his tall black leathery semi armored and long black clothy caped body jumping up and ahead into a front flipping motion. As the running mummy muscular android now sharply reaches Batman , Batman swiftly jumps , lunges and front flipping jumps right up and over him , spreading outstretching his long black leathery arms and gloves up by his sides widely and proceeds to swiftly land boots first by outstreching now his long black leathery booted legs in a firm slight slow floating fighting stance of a landing. The large muscular android mummy continues to rush and run ahead as Batgirl now darts and runs off to her further rightside. The large muscular mummy android stumbles a few more quickly paced steps and very curiously turns back around to reface Batman as a loud zinging metallic noise happens. A semi distant black Battarang is thrown and over ahead at and embedding itself up into the back of the mummy android's thick white bandaged muscular looking neck , a very small red light blinking upon its lower curved side. This large muscular mummy android quickly trys to reach up at and behind its neck's rearside with both of its long white bandaged fingered hands reaching back and at this now stuck in Battarang , but just can't reach it as though very visably now because of its coiling up muscular long arms. Its large muscles seemingly cushioning and struggling abit pressing against its own large reaching backwards abit body. Batman watches on and onward as the large muscular android mummy fiercly turns annoyedly back from left to right , its long reaching stretching hands reaching and desperately at this embedded black Battarang. A very breif second later this black thin metallic very small red light blinking Battarang explodes into a large surge of dark blue electricity , instantly zaps and shocks this large muscular mummy android from indeed behind his thick neck. The mummy looking body convulses , shudders and spasms abit , its long muscular arms flailing erradically about as then the rest of this large muscular white bandaged body limply collapses foward and foward a few more stumbling steps and careens facefirst downward and right over ahead binging down loudly off of The Batmobile's front drivers sided curvy low set front fender. It loudly bingingly leaves a large buckled semi caved in dent upon it and then this large muscular body falls roughly facefirst down onto the dark aged ground , a slight smouldering black inky trail of smoke raising up from it's rear neck's side. Batman watches all this happen and sharply gruffily curses abit dissapointedly over and ahead at it all. Batman then very attentively stares back where Batgirl just was standing , she is gone vanished , Batman sharper annoyedly curses more so. Meantime now the black gold trimmed van is quicker and quicker approaching this very long dark aged shadowy alleyway's far end , the three black cloaked , white bandaged faced men all semi crammed in the frontseat are all panically conversing in what almost sounds like a very ancient sounding and syllabled language and dialect. The van races further and further ahead as suddenly appearing from this alleyway's far end's furthest rightside is Batgirl she is twirlling around and around as though in a full spinning round and round circle , a metal trashcan grasped in front of her by her two firmly grasped dark purple gloved hands. As this van rapidly nears and nears Batgirl spins a few more wide turns and releases this metal trashcan from her long petite arms and hands , this trashcan whirllingly somewhat sideways bottomside first is thrown widely ahead and smashes right into this van's wide squareish glassy windsheild. The black and gold trimmed van erradically swerves left then right and right quickly past Batgirl's far stopping still leftside. The van continues on and crashes right ahead and into the parked

across this newer street passengerside of a parked long red aged styled car with a sudden abrupt rubbery tire screeching , glass shattering crash rocking it slightly up and down off and back down onto its four tires. The van then slowly rolls backwards very sputteringly as even more shattered jagged glass crashes and clinks downward onto this aged main looking street before it's now very caved inward , smashed up and apart damaged smouldering front end. The long red car's long sleek aged passengerside is also totaled and smoulderingly smashed up looking now as well. The black gold trimmed van's both front doors now open up and also now very dazedly and stumbling stumble and pile out of its damaged crumpled frontseat and one by one get out of it , as the doors open it is seen that two round white puffy saggily inflated airbags have gone off from it's inner dashboard just quick moments ago , but obviously these three black cloaked white bandaged men are visably messed up from this sudden abrupt crash. One of them then another both slowly in visable dazed agony stumble a few more steps then both fall downward onto the aged ground of this street's mid section. The ex driver of this van curses sharply in an ancient sounding language and dialect then also stumbles a few steps away from this crashed van's driverside some more then also dazedly slowly collapses downward onto the street's aged ground as well. Batgirl watches all this and semi contently smiles a deep smile and semi dissapointedly remarks , "A little more of a "crass" crash then expected...but I guess "it" worked out...huh...?" Batman's gruffly toned flat voice firmly remarks over towards Batgirl's far leftside , "Like I said..."it's" not a game...." Batgirl flinches and surprisedly shrugs her body over at her far leftside and stares right back over at Batman who is indeed now standing there semi next to her , she then flatly replies , "Right....I get it....don't worry man...before I did that thingy here....I already realised that van had two airbags in it henceforth its make model and year , "and" I made sure this street had no traffic on it...and "really" tried to time it so the van "would" actually crash over and into the lightpole up behind that actual parked red car there...."that" I kinda miscalculated....ok....?" Batman semi tiredly toned remarks , "It's more then "all" that....you put a possible life at risk "everytime" you try to even stop a criminal...whether a bystander , a driver or even your own life....Gotham "is" not a theme park....please "whoever" who are....leave the criminals to the "pros" and established ones like me....please....?" Batgirl then semi sarcastically remarks musingly , "How "do" you think any of the superhero types...like "you" got established....hard ta believe but number one , I "don't" kill....number two , I have a criminal law degree , number three , in this last week I "have" only taken on and caused some arrests of a few bottom feeders here and there....nothing like say....The Joker , Scarface or even a Manbat type variety of criminal scum..."even" I can realise I'm not "experienced" enough "yet" to tangle with any of em supery villian types....ok...?" Batman reglances back ahead towards the crashed and smashed up sputtering , smouldering van again and very firmly states , "Thanks...but no thanks....Gotham's got me....no offense but I no "longer" want a sidekick...."ok"...." He puzzeledly pauses then staring back directly over at her flatly annoyedly asks , "Not to mention..."Batgirl"...? I should be flattered...? Are you "just" a strong case of "say" hero worship....? Couldn't come up with "anything" original...? Besides the danger you have invoked...."I" could possibly "even" sue you for some kind of "name" infringement....?" Batgirl laughs a little back over at him and casually but firmly replies , "Looked it up man....so far "you" don't have the trademark in Gotham city over your name , your likeness or even your equipment.....you "do" realise there are "scores" of merchandise with you plastered all over it....? You "do" read and watch the news "sometimes"...? Keychains , action figures , tee shirts , lunchboxes....and some comic books too none the less.....?" Batman flater toned replies back over to her , "Legally "for now" whatever....point being...whoever you are...or claim to be....step aside and go back to "your" real lifes job whatever it be....doctor , laywer...circus clown...whatever your occupation of your "real" life...these city streets are "always" nothing nice amoung all this "supposed" urban populated bliss....even the bottom feeders have access to rocket launchers , machine guns and whatnot...place is not for sidekicks...."anymore" anyways....to me...."ok"...." He then pauses again and flatly musingly adds , "Unless..."you" don't read and watch the news.....?" Batgirl mildly annoyedly scowls back over at him , then semi sarcastically asks back over to him , "Is that Bat approved sarcasm there...is "that" one of "your" superpowers....?" Batman flatly replies , "Funny."

Just then the sound of police sirens begin to semi distantly fill the air and surroundings , Batgirl concernedly quips , "Uh...my cue ta screw Batman...no offense man...I'm still "just" not comfortable with the whole "let's" now talk to the cops portion of the presentation here....byes...see ya "round" campus..." Batgirl now swiftly raises up her long left dark purple gloved hand and presents a dark purple grappiling hooked flat rectangular gun device and promptly fires it off and upward semi diagnally up and slightly over across this street right up at the very angled topside of a nearby facing aged loominous building's rooftop's frontside. Batman then as though still annoyedly watches on as she now releases two side mounted buttons alongside this device's flat metallic sides and zippingly swoops and cape flappingly flys and is hoisted up and away through and into this nighttime's dark blueish sky , and semi vanishing up and also away. Batman then stares back down this long dark shadowy alleyway still before him and sees indeed several red , blue and pink , roof mounted vertical cylo flashing lit , siren wailing black and white copcars driving up and approaching up along this alleyway closer and closer towards and towards him and his direction. Batman stands his ground watching and watching onward and more so. Scant moments later now Commisoner Gordon is now standing beside the very fallen faced downed white bandaged , large muscular mummy looking android's body's far leftside , he inspectingly crouches and stares down and over at it and firmly muses , "Do you think "this" might mean that Dracula , Frankenstein , The Wolfman "or" even The Creature From The Black Lagoon are "bound" to "also" show up soon to "also" cause some violence...or crime...?" Batman firmly and annoyedly remarks , "What "I" believe it means...especially considering the found sands....it "might" only add up to one word...or say one name...." Gordon semi curiously looks back slightly upward to him , Batman pauses then flatly adds , "Tutt...."as" in King Tutt....all this "so" far to me kind of implicates him....the phsycotic egypt themed viilian that is can be regularly a Professor anyways...an actual Professor of egyptology....but due to his pschycotic "episodes" reverts to this...King Tutt persona....most unfortunately of course." He pauses again then adds , "It's either "him" or yet another player in a "wannabe" or imatation criminal mode...or "maybe" the real thing.....Tutt has been off the radar from years now though....in theory not that that means much....usually...." Gordon fully stands back up and amusedly smirks and flatly asks back over ahead to him , " At some point you should "put" some of these wackos on your phone's speedial so you can at least check in on them at there homes...huh...? Plus to say....hope "you're" right about that hunch...as you know me and the city just hate suspense....sooner the "right" nut is indentified the better......thanks to you though we got three real peopled goons to interogate , inside the warhouse "even" more scattered left behind sand and also of course along with this....big....lummox of a robot here...." Batman then firmly states , "A Waynetech Mx two seven three dash niner seven modeled polymer automatonal security drone android , series seven. Most likely the one that was stolen two weeks ago at another of Waynetech's in city many warehouse's , along with a small amount of other Waynetech cybernetic materials and security type devices..." Gordon casually replies , "Right...the warehouse on third street and Leven Avenue there...." Gordon then pauses and puzzeledly asks back over to Batman , "By the way..."how'd" you figure "this" thing was...a thing....? Especially it being all bandaged up and whatnot...more Batscanner work...?" Batman flatly remarks , "Something like that..."plus" a little bat told me..." Gordon then warmly smirks and sarcastically asks , "Or maybe just as important..."when" was the last drink you've had...? Or a "real" vacation....I "at" least take naps...." Batman amusedly quips , "I try....as you know all to well...not easy to do..." Just then from Gordon's far rightside walks up a bald , beady eyed uniformed police officer wearing thin latex gloves , a long youngish round face and slight portly build towards Gordon extending his long right chubby arm and hand. Gordon fully curiously turns over towards him and nonchalantly asks , "Yes...something "good" officer Sheckton..."anything" good?" Officer Sheckton indeed now hands over to him a large plastic flat baggy with a flat , metallic bat shaped small and small red lit , dark purple curved downward looking Batgirl-arang within it. He then polietly looks over at Batman and informingly states , "We found "it" in the van's rear bumper's underside." Gordon now holding up towards his scrutinising dark eyes this bagged Battarang looking object and flat clear plastic baggy in his semi clutched long right hand. He then

very nonchalantly quips , "Ok thank you officer...keep digging ah...?" Officer Sheckton casually returns back around and walks back off and away. Gordon looks back over at Batman and steps a few steps closer over to him and hands over this small flat baggyed Battarang object to him and sarcastically asks , "Here...I "believe" this is yours...." Batman accepts this Battarang and baggy with his long black gloved right hand as Gordon then flatly asks , "Your "not" going metro or "glam" are you huh...? Heck of a design and color "that" one is....jeesh..." Batman slightly glimpses down ahead at this flat bat shaped metal bagged object and then right back over at Gordon and casually replies , "Just a "different" style that got "slipped" in there...I "guess"...." Gordon amusedly smirks again some more back over ahead to him , then returns over to his far leftside over at the still parked there frontend dented up Batmobile. Gordon then musingly asks , "Hope you "got" your insurance paid up on that....?" Batman semi sarcastically quips , "Occupational hazard...it's well covered." Gordon then amusedly deeply sighs a deep sigh nonchalantly quipping back , "Guess so...ha..." Gordon then returns back over to Batman and curiously then asks , "Well...it being the next fifty thousand dollar question....as is in being usual...is...?" He pauses then flater toned asks , "What's the "next" step...how to "track" a supposed Egyptian...?" Batman thinkingly squints his deep dark inset eyes back over ahead to him and begrudgingly comments , "Indeed "this" time how "to"....?" About half an hour later now Batman is within his very own dark shadowy Batcave , a large underground , vast jagged earthy chamber shaped cement floored room. Batman is seated within a large black cushiony chair before his Batcomputer , a large and tall wide three monitor segmented computer. Under the middle big squareish digital monitor screen is a vertical rectangularish shaped keyboard button filled keyboard. Batman is staring curiously at a digital representation of the Battarang of Batgirl's design and look. At it's right digital side is a black bold lettered array of facts , statistics and factiods all about this certain bat shaped , dark purple , cresent shaped downed object , all scrolled downward horizontally. The first stement upon this dark blue digital backgrounded screen is The Bt dash seven , four point two beta six ranggtech device material , stock index number sixty eight. Batman casually comments aloud , "Figures...those were in that stolen shipment "as well"...."she" somehow knew that muscler was an android...most likely the same one that was stolen before its activation....but "why" would she fight against it...if "at" all she stole it...too...?" An all to familar regal distinguished slight english accented voice casually speaks up and over to Batman's far rightside and casually remarks , "Maybe...she "didn't" steal the android sir....?" It is Alfred , who is Batman and his alter ego's Bruce Wayne's butler , freind and assistant. He is an upper mid aged , slenderly built , short white and greyish haired , long faced , dark eyed man wearing a black three piece suit , white dress shirt a red necktie and black shoes. He casually walks up to and over at Batman's chair's rightside , stops stands there and semi curiously stares now also up ahead at this central computer monitor screen then warmly muses , "Mayhaps she set off the mummybot thingy to show off say her skills to you...maybe it was a grand over the top demonstration...?" Batman firmly replies , "No...I doubt it...besides the missing Waynetech shipment from two weeks ago....that bank break in...those few dead scattered about sand surrounded corpses of "literally" broken men...so to say....." He pauses then thinkingly adds , "I doubt Batgirl is at all "that" type...as nieve to sound...but you should have heard her...she "almost" sounded like she was from some....teenage sitcom or something....? Wacky , misguided , dangerous...but she "even" mentioned that she "supposedly" doesn't kill....what value is "that"....?" Alfred nonchalantly remarks , "Let's "just" hope the lady does indeed not dare "trip" you up sir....not since master Todd has it ever now sounded so similar of a person in description...."if" I must say sir...none offense offered of course...." Batman more so directly looks back over to him and firmly toned replies , "None taken...Alfred...."master Robin" was a good freind to "both" of us...I don't want "anybody" else sucked into this type of life...the first Robin Dick Grayson knew it "had" to be temporary so "he" could at least "try" to enjoy at least somewhere else to "actually" live instead of "just" serve Gotham." Alfred semi sarcastically smirks and warmly replies , "Right you are sir....sometimes people have to hang up with what they've been doing for "so" long...it happens sir....you and that particular master Robin bonded well as much as the next two , Master Drake then Master Todd did as well here also did and lived together , coexisted with us in the same very crimefighting techniques just like Master Grayson did.....mayhaps this "Batgirl" is "just" the new

wave of....possible even accidentally or on purposefully placed allies in crimefighting....?" Batman reglances back ahead over towards The Batcomputer again and flater toned remarks , "None needed....Drake as "we" do know was most unfortunately killed by The Joker...Todd who got burnt out or something and moved on....just even because of those facts unbeknownst to her but known to me of course "is" why mostly I then strongly urged her to step aside and move on with her life...to leave it to the pros...but she just quipped back then to me , "how do you "think" people get to be pros line...." I still tried to tell her...it's not really for everyone....and it has very "dire" , deadly and possible leathel consequences..." Alfred flatly smiles and semi sarcastically muses , "Sounds as if "she" rattled you abit there sir...huh?...memorances of a "past" or quite present for you sir...? Running around solving crimes , crimefighting...the colorful spandexy costume....?" Batman then casually quips back over to him , "Yeah...funny...."still" the "way" she stopped the van...the equipment she was using...her banter...it was almost like watching a school play version of youself...but being performed by someone with a different costume and breasts....?" Alfred then amusedly laughs a little back over at him and firmly urges , "Prehaps it is time I turn "your" bed down and send up something to eat and drink for you sir...?" Batman then semi tiredly sighs and casually remarks , "I'll try to get around it "for" now....I "also" have in theory an Eygyptian to track down and stop....recent signs in my opinion have been pointed that way...." Alfred then semi sarcastically muses , "Well..."when" ypu do finish your work here for the day...please do eat , drink something...then please sir....rest...just a concern sir...seems these last weeks have been...rather nuisance for you and this city..." Batman flatly quips , "Buisness as usual Alfred....nothing too newish...unfortunately of course..." Alfred then reaches gently over with his long left hand and delicately with his long fingers picks abit up at Batman's upper right seated , black leathery shoulder. Batman inquisitively glances up and over at him as Alfred now does this. Alfred then extends his long fingered left hand and shows displayingly to Batman there semi clutched is a long auburn colored human looking hair strand. Batman amusedly sighs then casually states , "The "Batgirl" subplot suddenly thickens....." His deep dark inset eyes squinting curiouser ahead at this long auburn colored hair strand dangling limply there right in front of him. His name is King Tutt a portly shaped large semi muscular man dressed in a long white egyptian clothed cloaked garment and fattish black gold trimmed boots , he also is wearing a gold and blue striped egyptian pharoh's headdress upon and down around his roundish head and semi aged , dark roundish beady eyed face. Slight black eyeliner vertically triangularlly placed along his roundish eyes , a longish chubby nose and under and past his chubby full lipped mouth and roundish chin is a black stringed tied up together blonde dyed looking central down trailing wide rectangularish goatee styled beard. He is seated comfortably within a long dark wooden red cushiony wide low set , slight straightish but curved upward armed throne of a slight hourglass shaped chair and seat that is widely entrimmed fully by dull golden goldish trim and very lower squatly four squarely abit wide parrelel lionsfooted type foot legged perched bottom ends. Him and his throne are set centrally upon a large red wide octangular outstreched carpet , leading downward ahead is a small wide cementish stooped stoop of aged looking stairs leading downward abit into a large chamberish shaped dark wooden , hardwooden floored room with scattered horizontal white clothy tapestrys placed all about and around this vast largeish dark wooden space. Down before King Tutt and his very throne , and altar type aged stairs along another much larger red octangular carpet are three kneeled black cloaked , white bandaged faced people , each down on their both knees and slightly leaning downward and foward abit poisedly. King Tutt very dissapointedly declares aloud and downward to these three assembled people down before him and his throne , he declares , "So...say it "be" true then....the "bat" has yet again thwarted...yet another spoil of war....yet of our "now" ex freind...mister mummy android man...ow wellith be....there "are" but two others to say....avenge thee herebout....so therefore "men" I must ask....what of the secondary son of "ours"....who "remains" to help lead us out of this...desert of a city to me...the badlands it very well be....Sodom and Gommorah of present time...." He pauses then less dramatically and more serious toned stares at the middle kneeling black cloaked white bandaged man down before him and flatly asks insistently and curiously , "Wellith to say then...."what" now of "our" new marvelous construct fellow....egyptian...? Aye you of three intwixt of three...there...?"

This middle kneeling man pauses then more so fully straightening up abit more up back towards him firmly replies in a very broken foreign middle eastern sounding voice , he replies , "Of course Pharoh oh lord....the "second" one is ready to go...so to say sir...last touches "are" being applied today....it's name "will" be....Maxius...abit more improved then Lon's back of the neck shortage problems and design...that indeed Batman exploited on us...somehow...?" King Tutt rolls his eyes and semi tiredly sighs abit back down at him and nonchalantly remarks , "Very good then....Maxius then..."shall" rise....for hopefully indeed "surpass" Lon...the mummy android's...expertises....pray and praise Rah...there "shall" beit demi gods made in thine images...as well as they can stand alone the tests of our very "trying" shifting sands of time....to aid "us" build the ultimate tribunal to Rah...the sun , the moon....the stars.....so sayeith Tutt....King Tutt...of now....." The middle kneeled down black cloaked , white face bandaged man firmly remarks , "Very good indeed King oh lord of thee...then the third brethern "Scorpioid" will be as well completed...days ahead bear much fortune m'lord..King..." King Tutt then reglances over to the knelt down far leftsided man then right over to the rightsided knelt black cloaked , white bandaged man , then again back at the middle kneeling man and very firmly musingly toned urges , "Oh and also sayith me...I "want" to relay you all "also" as great names..." He leans foward in his chair and curiously squinting his eyes abit firmly musingly states , "You in the midst there...ye shall be known as...."Sertum" , thine over left is..."Dischious" and thine one on minest left shall be...."Sero"....doest it sound..."good" to all sayeith "your" peace if any...?" A dead silence then happens as now , "Sertum" casually muses back up towards him , "Uh..all doist respects King oh lord..but we "also" have real names..."as" well...for example...my name is Derrick...something or other ok...? I "could" be known as "D"...or even Derrick...? Just an idea of theme give us all intials for names..."mayhaps" King my lord sir....if "not" that is granted as so then..." King Tutt then very amusedly grins and shakes and nods his roundish attentive face and head dressed head rolling his round deep dark eyes abit more so as though in a very sudden annoyed look of sorts. He then stares right back down at "Derrick" and very loudly exclaims , "Oh..."Bratticus"...." He then straightens up his fattish posture within his red wide cushiony seat and now firmly flatly claps his pudgy , chubby clapping together hands. The three black cloaked white bandaged faced kneeling men all surpisedlike flinch abit as this gesture of King Tutts is done. King Tutt then leans back into his wide red cushiony shapely chair and seat and gazes upward and happily then sighs a content serene sounding sigh of deep breathing sighing breath. Just then from semi distantly behind and off to this room's furthest leftside a pair of bootsteps begin to happen and near and near closer and closer behind and over towards these three knelt men. Through the newer stepped into lighting from above upon the ceiling it's now revealed to be the very boot steps of a tall , large muscular looking black human skulled eyesocketed skeletal masked , greyish chestplated , long sleeved black shirted , black gloved , semi greyish metal armored short wearing and legginged big black boot wearing male looking figure. This is Bratticus he walks right up behind all three of the kneeling black cloaked white bandaged men by a few close feet and stops in his tracks firmly standing still , and also semi poised behind "Derrick". All three men curiously turn upward and behind and over towards Bratticus , somewhat curiously but also nervously poised abit. King Tutt then leans back up in his chair regripping its long slender dark wooden arms with his portly fattish hands and then very firmly urges , "Now...now...do "not" turn from "your" King....!!!!!" All three kneeling men turn back very attentively back up and over again to King Tutt and his throne. King tutt then as though looking directly over to Bratticus firmly and casually urges , "Oh and please.....Bratticus...bless your presence...please...take this "Derrick" with you...." King Tutt then reglances back down and over at Derrick and nonchalantly and deeply orders to him , "Please do..."Derrick" rise "for" your King...." Derrick slowly hesitantly glances over to his left then right at the other two kneeling men..then right back up and over to King Tutt yet again and then finally slowly stands fully up. King Tutt accusingly now reaches and points with his right fattish chubby index finger shakingly down and at Derrick and angrilly , loudly exclaims , "Take "Derrick" away "Bratticus"...we have "no" need for a "Derrick" here....." He then wide eyedly stares back over to the kneeling man down on the left then again down over to the rightsided kneeling man all

the while now louder angrier toned asking , "Right...agreed...."Dischious"...? "Sero"....?" Both then Dischious then Sero both stammer abit nervously but both find enough firm of voice to both one by one reply back up and over to him , "Very good my lord and King sir..." King Tutt very proudly gazes back upwards and ahead semi distantly away further into this wide dark wooden room then very casually remarks , "Ah...yes men...very good indeed...very good for "you" both....ha...."Bratticus"...?" Suddenly from behind Derrick is grabbed and enwrapped strongly by Bratticus's large muscular black clothed arms and large black gloves , constricting right fully around crushingly and pulling Derrick quickly backwards , folding and pinning his long cloaked arms and hands squishingly down right against his very sides. Bratticus happily grunts pulling and dragging him backwards , Derrick begining to loudly , shrilly sounding whelps , curses and begins stammeringly begging back up towards and over to King Tutt , "Please...no...my lord King...sirrrr...nooo...I "meant" no offense.....let me....go.....ah...no....please....aghhhh!!!" King Tutt tiredly sighs and disinterestedly looks away and over at his long fattish chubby fingered hand and then very casually , begins scratching gently with his right index finger up and down at his roundish chubby right thumb. Bratticus continuingly pulls and drags Derrick's heels kick and struggle around and back , and then back further and further away somewhere off into this wide dark wooden white horizontal tapestry scattered room. Both Dischious and Sero relivedly abit sigh aloud and nervously rest back upon their knelt down black shoed heels. King Tutt looks yet again very much nonchalantly down and over at the two remaining men there and very casually states , "Feel "very" fortunate men....Bratticus amoung other many things...."is" a skilled violent , agressive biter...he "loves" to bite...."just" even for the messy , screaming very bloody fun of it all......especially to "bite" men such just as forsaken "Derrick"...Bratticus will "surely" bite him..."real badly" and animalistically...I give him direct orders "always" to bite any traitors , fools or...such..."Derrick" types..."anywhere" and when Bratticus choses then to "bite" them all.....understood" ye men...?" Dischious first agreeingly firmly replies , "Aye , yes my lord King Tutt sir..." Sero then accordingly firmly quickly replies , "Of course my lord King...Tutt...sir." King Tutt then very relaxedly sits back again in his wide red cushiony throne of a seat and chair and pleasantly toned firmly states , "Very well then...lest we wander upon of the sands of distractions...back to "our" further filled with might be plans to be..." Dischious , then Sero once again both sigh a deep relievedly sounding sigh each , King Tutt smiles a wider content , relaxed serene smile back down and over to Dischious and Sero yet again. The next day's late morning Barbara Gordon is sitting outside at a streetside cafe within a thin white chair in front of a long circular white metal table and two other set simlar looking thin white metal chairs. She has a large cardboarded coffee cup in front of her and is casually gazing around this outside public looking area. There are other scattered seated people and similar tables and chairs all about and around her , the noises of loud casual sounding conversations and glasses klinking together abit. Barbara Gordon is a short , slenderly built , youngish , short dark brown semi bobbed styled haired , long faced , facially makeupped , cute little nosed woman with a slight pudgy but curvy body. She is wearing a thin dark brown clothy jacket , red tee shirt , a pair of blue jeans , white sox and a pair of low heeled black sneakers , A laid back youngish poised looking young woman. She then warmly smiles looking over to her semi patron crowded rightside now seeing two very familar people making their casually stepping ways over towards her and her chair and table's direction. It is Commisoner Gordon , her father and just behind walking behind his rightside is Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne in fact Batman's alter ego and "usual" persona , unbeknownst to Gordon or his daughter let alone next to noone by anyone else within Gotham City. Bruce Wayne is a deep dark eyed , tall , mid lengthed , left parted , black haired slender semi muscular , well tailored , youngish mid aged man. A high end local powerfull and very rich buisnessman millionarre , a dashing debonier look upon and along him. He is wearing a black three piece suit , dark blue undershirt , black necktie , white sox and a pair of black dressy shoes. Commisoner Gordon warmly smiles back over ahead at Barbara as he first nears and nears closer over to her , Bruce flatly smiles as well up and ahead over to her following on behind still. Commisoner Gordon first walks over to the opposite facing left white thin metal chair and sits down into and onto it , Wayne accordingly following still makes his

way to the other se chair and sits down also in and onto it right next to Gordon's far leftside. Barbara warmly looks over at Gordon then Wayne , then again back over ahead to her father and casually greetingly says , "Great to see you too....dad.., Bruce..." Gordon warmly smiles and Bruce flatly smiles polietly back over ahead to her. Gordon then casually replies , "Thanks..."daughter" oh mine...good to see you too...glad you moved back....this is "definately" a twist huh...?" Barbara then reglancing back over ahead to Wayne curiously and eagerlly asks over to him , "How's biz Brucey....still "playing" the field...so to say...? Or married yet...? Just curious...?" Wayne polietely then replies back over ahead to her , "Yes and I am "still" single as well....always "the" buzy man I be...so much distracts me nowadays...mergers , takeovers , downscaling...extera , extera...boring stuff really." Gordon then semi sarcastically remarks , "He's "still" richer then his own life...boo hoo..." He pauses then concernedly adds , "Nice cafe here...I've been here a few times....good chocolate cake...." Barbara mildly replies back , "Yeah..."it's" an ok place....good cheesecake salads too...." Wayne sits up more in his chair attetively and informingly states , "Just an "ok" place huh...."I'd" like to think it better..."considering" I "do" nowadays own at least sixty percent of it...along with Lance Merton the third...of course...not to boast at all....just to mention as say...ironic I suppose...?" Barbara then semi sarcastically remarks musingly , "Why am I "not" suprised about "that" Brucey...always a good monopoly player....good for ya..."still" nowadays...good...cool...maybe you can have "them" put freid dough on "their" menu?" Gordon then curiously glancing around to his far left then far right and musingly remarks , "Wonder "if" you even made sure to "staff" and hire enough help here....jeez...let's get a "good" drink here already...huh...?" He then reglances back over at Wayne and as though playfully adds , "Brucey." Wayne semi sarcastically smirks back over to him and flatly states , "Guess "we'll" see.....oh impatient one..." Barbara amusedly smiles and laughs abit. A few breif minutes later Gordon and Wayne now both have round white plates of food and a drink each before them , Gordon with a cheeseburger and fries , Wayne has a salad and some shrededd pieces of white chicken. Gordon is drinking a dark brown bubbly soda , Wayne is drinking a glass of white wine.Barbara casually now asks over to Gordon , "So what's the bew "rave" dad...? Been reading bout some mummy and sand deal going on nowadays in the city..."what's" up with that huh...?" Gordon chews up and eats some of his fries and flatly comments , "Just "more" wackos I guess....The Batman is all over it...which of course is relieving....hoping as usual he comes up with something...besides a few none talking goons , a whole bunch of sand and a large mummy android thingy used in some recent murders and crimes...we "ain't" got much else....except we "do" know the android dude thingy was and is Waynetech technology..." Wayne casually looks back over ahead to Barbara and flatly toned remarks , "That's "when" it really puts me "out"....just to think someone "unauthorised" using my stuff....heck I "don't" even like lending tools out nowadays...let alone big bucked technologies....to criminals none the less....this crimewave is defamation amoung other things...." Barbara then curiously asks back over to him , "what "if" it wasn't a criminal using your "tech"...so to say...that didn't get permission yet to use your stuff...say...maybe even to build a house , start a farming station..."or" even fight crime....The Batman uses technologies....doubt his technologies are like "Lexcorp" or anything so far awayish...yaknow...? Wouldn't "that" be of concern as well....?" Wayne semi dumbfoundedly pauses then very thinkingly replies back over to her , "I suppose...if only for the fact "indeed" years ago I "did" donate a sizeable cache of Waynetech to him and other at the time visiting esteemed other heros...in fact of them giving so much back to Gotham...but mostly I donated stuff over to The Batman...Superman...he doesn't need much local made technologies....Green Lantern is more cosmic and outer spaceish then anything....Hawkman has his very own outer space metals....it's just "good" buisness considering The Batman has saved us citizens of Gotham and even my manor , estate and Waynetech properties incidentally of amoung many local places in Gothan here so many times...yaknow...?" Barbara then amusedly slightly smirks back over at him , then curiouser asks , "So "you" approve of The Batman's deeds and such....I "can" see that....makes sense....giving back some....coolies...." Gordon then firmly chimes in , "The Batman has "also" saved the police force's hide countless times...it's bout time "someone" helped him out...for all yaknow...under all that Batsuit he could be poor , destitute...even homeless....maybe even like that "Hulk" character

in upper New York there...." Wayne flatly chimes in , "The Incredible Hulk...he's apart of the Avengers crimefighting team of heros there....." Gordon nonchalantly remarks , "Right...The Incredible Hulk....big green mean tank tossing guy....and The Avengers.....more goodguys...thank God I say...."maybe" Gotham needs a team like that...huh...?" Barbara raises her long petite hand and drinks from her cardboard cup of coffee yet again , then relowers it back down atop the table again before herself then casually glimpses back over ahead at Gordon and firmly muses , "Don't "you" mean "super" heros...right...?" Gordon then faintly smirks back over to her and casually adds , "I guess "you" could put it "that" way.....like superhuman cops...whatever...good for them...good for "all" of us...I "wouldn't" wanna be one....bigtime danger all the time , the erradic hours probably...meeting and greeting such psychos as The Joker...The Bookworm....Killer Croc....The Riddler no fun to me...but hey...to each of "their" own...yaknow...? At least the "superhero" atypical types here "don't" go around gunning bad guys down...." He then casually pauses and then nonchalantly adds , "It "just" would not work round here that "way" anyways...maybe "in" Dodge city , The O.K corral , Carson city or somewheres like that...?" Barbara then playfully remarks back over ahead to him , "So "old" west-ish there dad...ha....quaint..." Gordon mildly smiles sarcastically back over to her. Gordon then puzzeledly pauses and firmer toned muses , "Plus...all "that" leather and spandex most of em haveta seemingly wear...jeez..." Wayne now slightly mildly amusedly smiles a thin smile back down at his plate abit , his long right hand manuvering his long metal flat four pronged fork deeper gently again into his chicken scattered greenery filled leafy salad. Barbara then as though perkily toned then asks over to Wayne , "Oh before I forget...thinking of that crimewave going on with those...I dunno...egyptian or something or other murder scenes and crimes...seemingly....reminded me..." She casually pauses then curiouser asks over to him , "What about the "newest" egyptian exhibit at the Wayne Museum tonight..."will" you be present...and if so...or even not gonna be....of course "you'll" haveta like "amp" up the secuirty there....safer then sorry...right...?" Wayne then as though also just remembering looking casually replies back over to her , "Right....The Oooba Munruuu exhibit...those scarab fossilized beetles and such...right..." He then slowly pauses and casually more so adds , "I "might" be there tommorow night...don't exactly know for "now"...buisness is always knocking for me yaknow...? But "if" even I can't go...rest assured Wayntech security drones "will" be implemented "if" need be...my associate Lucious Fox will make sure of it....but a very "valid" concern "of" course from me about it...who knows for sure..."maybe" it'll even lure these...criminal mummy types and finally trip them up...we "can" only hope for that....right..." Barbara then nonchalantly quips , "Sounds heavy duty Bruce....hope it stays safe...criminals these days yaknow...jeez..." Wayne then polititely smiles back over ahead to her and then back over at Gordon abit. Gordon semi sarcastically remarks , "Just in case there "will" be extra detail issued there by the police also....ugh "just" thinking of it...both of yas let me "just" eat and chill "for" now...huh...?" Barbara again amusedly smiles back over to him , Wayne also again amusedly smiling slightly then semi tiredly sighs and continues onward to eat from his salad raising his fork up again to his face's mouth. He warmly chimes in , "Still "nice" to see you Barbara..." Barbara amusedly smiles once again back over to him. It is now later on in this day at late afternoon , early darkening evening Commisoner Gordon is now standing atop the local police station's dark flat rooftop , over at his far leftside is a large five foot by five foot wide circular black metal trimmed rooftop mounted and bolted downed flat glassy bulbed spotlight. It is alit very brightly and loominously upward and diagnally into this early darkening blueish nighttime sky and air distantly beaming way upward and over ahead , designed and stenciled atop and along vertically placed of this very spotlight's bright rounded bulb is a thin black flat Bat insgnia with two bat horns and two extended vertical long gothic styled type bat shaped wings and pointed bottomside's central downward point. This gothic black bat shaped symbol shining , projecting and brightly loominously being displayed distantly upward and ahead diagnally , this indeed is the Batsignal. Gordon lights this up everytime he requests the very presenence of Batman to hopefully appear and attend his request of showing up here. Gordon casually looks down around , right and distantly left all around him and off towards these other tall and taller surrounding aged looming buildings of Gotham city , Gordon has been up here tonightish so far for fifteen minutes and looks abit semi

tired looking. Amidst all this rooftop are a few scattered tall aged brickfaced smokering chimineys and various sized rounded sattelite dishes and horizontally thin metal attennas. Just then Batman's gruff but casual sounding voice flatly asks over to Gordon from way behind his rearside , it curiously musingly asks over to him , "Saving "on" cellphone minutes...?" Gordon mildly surprisedly flinches and turns back over to his far leftside and behind himself warmly remarking back , "Not really....but "good" idea though...thought "such" big news kinda deserves a "big" gesture...dunno...." Batman steps a few more casual feet closer and over to him and more so out of this aged rooftop's shadows and semi sarcastically replies , "Great....sounds "swell" already...." Gordon then semi tiredly remarks , "It's nother one of "your" buddies...again....but "luckily" it's something positive that happened..."imagine" that...huh...?" Batman then casually stops a few more feet closer over to him and confusedly quips , "Dazzle me then...." Gordon semi upbeatedly toned now replies back to him , "The Joker "was" somehow caught coming back inta Gotham....bout an hour ago....at a toll booth...seems his driver of the black painted it was.... was being a "nervous nelly" and accidentally caught some police attention....cops converged on the van they were in...Joker in back...and guns drawn "somehow" then rushed in and arrested him and the driver....nothing else of use in the van...no weapons...stolen money , loot...nothing....seems The Joker there "tried" to escape at least once...tried to make a break for it with "some" gas tossing playing card thingy...but due to them being up on a large windy bridge there at the toll booth...kinda fell very short for "him".....cops moved in "pointed" more at him...he gave up...." Batman mildly amusedly smiles and semi sarcastically remarks , "Beat out by a scaredy cat driver..."and" wind...now "that" is a pair of funny ironic "jokes" of things...." Gordon then informingly adds , "I got the toll booth survelliance tape if ya want to look it over later....nothing much to see...just that grinning "jackass" getting dropped on....who knows...make a copy watch "it" on your birthday...whenever that comes....or maybe show it at a Bat party or something...if that even be...yaknow bat themed partys?" Batman flatly smirks and then more so looking back over at him and flater toned replies , "Funny...."where's Joker right now...the station...?" Gordon then warmly answers , "Nope..."already" back up at Arkham...he was already at the station...only breifly considering how unpredictable he "can" be....his "buddy" the van driver's there though still." Batman then curiouser asks over to Gordon , "What of the other two black vans that left New York city....I guess maybe the other two that "indeed" must have some loot , weapons or whatever in it...that Joker assigned to crime around amuck , all at the same time....?" Gordon shrugs mildly his shoulders and then dissapointedly replies , "Naw...nothing yet on those....but we're still keeping watch of course on either one of em...especially at the borders of the city." Batman then semi tiredly sighs and dissapointedly toned comments , "Swell." Gordon then again pauses and glances around to his far left then back around to Batman and curiously asks , "What about "tonight" for you huh....? Ya know "that" Wayne sponsered egyptian exhibit premieres tonight at the museum....let alone all week long it temporarily runs untill it moves across the city....odds are your mummy or Tutt buddys call em whatya will very well "might" make an appearance there....maybe , maybe not right....?" Batman semi glances away from Gordon and to his leftstanding side then back over directly ahead at him and casually replies , "I'll "probably" make a cameo myself there after this..."check" up on things....just in case....check it out..."nothing" swinging badly there....I'll leave then check it back out before it closes later tonight..."just" in case.....egyptian stuff , recent crimewaving mummy types...."does" seem abit elemental to guess..." Gordon then musingly adds , "Maybe "too" simple to follow...dunno....it "would" make this King Tutt character a mite stupid , careless or"just" brazen....huh...?" Batman firmly replies back to him , "King Tutt "is" quite big...even beyond his round body....and including his overinflated at times very "ego"....it "wouldn't" even surprise me if he had his men walk right in the front door there and commit "some" kinda crime...." Gordon then sarcastically remarks , "Jeez...the company you are forced to keep...." Batman semi sarcastically remarks back to him , "Well...at least "you're" not "so" bad....." Gordon sarcastically quips back to him , "Ha...ha...." Batman then very thinly amusedly smirks back ahead and over to him. About an hour later now Bruce Wayne is dressed in a black and white dress shirted tuxedo , no tie , long black clothy pants , white sox and a pair of black dressy shoes and is now casually walking into The Wayne Museum's wide opened dual doored

entranceway. There are several various of small crowds of chattering , conversing and drinking amoungst themselves and congratedly together amidst this museum's vast spacious dark marble blueished walled and floored interior. Wayne polititely smiles and smiles over , about and around at a few of these patrons as they variously stare happily over at him as he now enters this museum's main showcase looking common main area. A large array of placed and spaced out scattered horizontal rectangular glassy thin metal trimmed display cases and various egyptian sculptures and humanoidish shaped statutes , semi distant horizontal yellow and black spaced out in a vast row of clothy tapestrys hanging and placed all along this wide spacious room and areas dark blue marblished tall and wide walls. Wayne casually glances and glimpses back around himself and stops walking right in front of a large rectangular wide glassy thin metal trimmed display case of a displayed waist high dark wooden podium with a large squareish dark purplish regal looking cushiony pillow atop of it , and centrally placed atop that is a big black softball shaped fossilized buggy looking scarabed beetle. Wayne curiously glances slightly downward ahead at it all before himself and nonchalantly glimpses up around then back down more so directly at it again. A very male distinguished familar to him voice very casually remarks over to him from the rear leftside , it remarks , "Just "another" ancient bug...."didn't" come with many instructions..." Wayne warmly smirks and now looks over to his leftside seeing indeed a familar male black semi aged freind of his walking up and stopping alongside and casually turning over and stands also now looking down and ahead at this pillowed , glassed up beetle and stands by his leftside. This semi aged black man has short permmed greyish white hair , slight freckeled long dark eyed face , a tall slender build and a very laid look upon him. He is wearing a black bowtied , white dresshirted black tuxedo and black dressy shoes. His name is Lucious Fox , a very trusted good freind of a security and secret undercover Batman equipment mechanic , technician and preparer minded coworker from Waynetech , Bruce's very own owned company for a few years now. He looks right over to Wayne as Wayne now semi sarcastically replies to him , "Not very surprising..."it's" real old...big surprise...what "else" is there to be known right...?" Fox nonchalantly shrugs his shoulders slightly and flatly comments , "Right...just "another" artifact...for "fact"....huh....?" Wayne then more so directly looks back over to him and curiously toned asks , "long as the Waynetech security droids are on duty...."I'd" imagine we'll be fine...."right"...?" Fox firmly remarks ,"Already "in" place...four stationed at each far end here....quite "safeish" I'd say....." He pauses then amusedly adds , "Can't "always" rest back on being Bat suited or anything as "you" can afford to be....respectably..." Wayne amusedly quietly chimes back to him , "You "can" always "try" on the suit and job if you want to....give me a night "off" maybe...huh...?" Fox even more so amusedly replies , "Nah...it's "just" you wear it "so" well..."yaknow?"....." Wayne reglances back around this large room abit more and plainly remarks , "Right....leave it to the "pros" good way to play it safe....ha...." A breif silence happens then Fox curiously asks back over to him , "How's the new onboard police scanner working....all the no pun intended here..."bugs" gone now from it...?" Wayne then casually replies back , "Yeah....so far....works fine....still "doesn't" help out the amount of crime not to sound so moot...." Fox again pauses then curiouser and casually toned asks , "would you "like" to see "our" newest accusition for this "very" troublesome seeming exhibit....?" Wayne nonchalantly quips back , "Might as well...." Scant moments later Wayne and Fox are standing across this wide vast large areaed room's far rightside and standing side by side again , Fox still at the left are bot now amusedly staring , gazing and looking up and at a seven foot tall , very humaniodish shaped statue of a mythological figure of an actual literally , wide protruding extended outsided black ceramic looking horned bullheaded , black leathery circular collored bare chested red round nippled man's very muscular torsoed minotaur with long dark brown aged animalistic looking fake short haired legged and black and whiteish bull footed hoofed feet. It has large extended casually poised down and out from its large wide waist long muscular human male arms and handed long fingered flat vertically placed hands. Upon its large wide squareish bull shaped , dark brown aged face are two round dark black beady eyed inset eyes. It also has a wide big nostrilled nose and skeletal animalistic thin lipped mouth , right below it is a long dark brown muscular neck. Wayne semi sarcastically remarks , "Kind of Sinbad the Sailor back in the day looking huh...?" Fox then

informingly replies back to him , "We had it scanned , searched and analysed over and over after it was delivered earlier today...pretty much...just a dang statue representation of a minotaur...Quite impressive huh....from a distant ancient age....well yaknow...the look of it....." Wayne flatly chimes back to him , "Of course...." Fox then casually adds , "It's a "quality" reproduction straight over from Egypt....courtesy from our freinds over there at the Naboo Uuuta institute and museum in Cairo...cool huh...? Took like a month to get here." Wayne nonchalantly answers , "Guess so...very "bullish" pardon the pun...." Fox flatly replies , "Sure...whatever...don't try to "seem" to exited about it..."just" another investment right...?" Wayne reglances back over to him and plainly replies , "You "could" say that...as we know "I" do have so many...huh...?" Fox then semi sarcastically quips , "Fair to say...." Fox then yet again pauses and warmly adds , "Time "to" meet your newly designed security guards...or at least one of them....?" Wayne flater toned quips back to him , "Sure...might "as" well...right? More of your "overseen" toys are usually fun to see." Fox amusedly yet again smirks back over to him. A few more moments later now Wayne and Fox are now standing at the rear of this wide large dark blueish marbled room , there is a wide opened up dark wooden archway , standing at each side parrelel to one another are two Waynetech manafactured sex foot tall , large wide shouldered , dark tan colored muscular , blank male faced and shaped headed bald smooth metallic looking , humanoid shaped standing at attetioned androids. Each standing quite blankly still with dark beady ditial looking eyes , a slender but muscular build and wearing dark black police issued looking uniforms and big black boots. Wayne is standing at the one on the left's side and inspectingly staring abit up at it's black dark beady , human male esque eyed face. Fox now standing at Wayne's rightside also but nonchalantly and informingly states , "Hard to believe you "actually" beat down one of these...let alone a corrupt systemed one....yikes...." Wayne flatly replies to him , "Well...."luckily" I knew of that older styled designed flaw "accidentally" that wasn't smoothed out on it...the back of the neck thin side of it...quite sure you realised that....or would...?" Fox firmly answers back , "That was the overseas version...and yes..."I knew of the flaw...henceforth "that's" why it was in transit back to one of our manafacturing sites..."these" ones plus the other two...one out back and the one you might have seen out front earlier at the entranceway "have" been reinforced and improved I do assure you...plus "we're" trying to intergrate a new Bruce Wayne , me and Commisoner Gordon voice freindly respondant to voice command prompted relay system into them as well , we already started the trial runs and tests on a few others at Waynetech "even" as recent as yesterday....which "seems" promising to work." Wayne as though sarcastically then states , "Bet "these" pack a heck of a cinderblock of a punch as well...great stuff..."too" bad I had to fight one...my ribs are still abit soreish round the edges...the one I fought "tried" to squeeze me to death...like very much bearhuggedly...ugly crap I tell you....made my ears pop abit. Most unfortunate exercise." Fox then more so directly looking back over to him curiously asks , "You said "some" female chipper sounding interloper in some kind of "Bat" looking styled suit "actually" showed up and helped you out "there" at the crimescene....? Wonderously weird huh...? Maybe "just" a matter of oddly timed time....?" Wayne reglances back to him and as though dissapointedly replies , "Yeah....probably "some" girl or young woman with really "seemed" to be some of our "other" missing Waynetech stock and surplus....I obtained one of her Battarangs it very much looked like...came up positve as Waynetech.....she must be some kind of delusional Batman wannabe...dunno for positive yet...maybe some "well" meaning superfan....hard to say "so" far...but....uh.... yeah...weird for sure....and very distubingly off putting to say the least as you could "imagine"." Fox then as though playfully quips , "Jeez..."imagine" that...not being the "only" super helper in city and town huh?...Dare I say shades of "Robins" past....?" Wayne then flatly comments , "Funny Fox....you trying to moonlight as a "part" time comedian nowadays or what huh....?" Fox firmly amusedly replies back to him , "Gotta stay varied in skills....yaknow...? Might as well....?" Wayne then sarcastically quips back over to him , "Whatever "works" for you I guess right....?" Fox yet once again amusedly more so smirks a smirk right back over at him , then again pauses and plainly asks , "So "what's" next tonight for you..."another" supermodel to fornacate with after this...maybe have a few drinks....laugh at your bankbook...?" Wayne reglances back up ahead at this standing at attention android's black male contoured face

again and semi tiredly sighs and flatly replies , "Not tonight....I'm going to check on a few things...come back later after hours....just to recheck on things here...." He then pauses again and directly looking again back over at Fox casually muses , "Which "reminds" me....I should have a "few" stiff type drinks "here" before I leave...." Fox then semi tiredly sighs and playfully remarks , "Ah....such "richly" put plans....power to you...Bruce..." Wayne semi sarcastically smirks yet again back over to him. It is now three hours later The Wayne museum is closed and empty devoid of anyone present , about or around. Back within the main display area beyond the many scattered archeological themed artifacts and artworks are still standing at attention are the still placed Waynetech muscular largely proportioned , blank male faced dark beady eyed security androids , each still standing on eitherside of the large wide dark wooden archway. Over to the very large muscular bull headed gareish looking animalisticish minotaur , also still standing as deadishly still as well , its large muscular long arms and hands still poised down and out by his sides. There is a still quiet deadish silence about , mayhaps ever so slight alarm rigged electronic and electric buzzing very faint buzzing noise present , and also of course the many perched up , about and around secuirty cameras. All this still quite boringly going on and onward within this large chamberish dark blue marbledish room of displayed objects , statutes and of course the two secuirty guard androids. Meantime now a black gold trimmed van drives by slowly in front of The Wayne museum's regal looking aged frontside and main street , then as taking a far left turn down the long narrow aged alleyway next to it's very wide cementish leftside. As this van now slower drives by a large white halogen type looking flash of light happens , then again , then again , right over through one of the many lining large plate glass windows of this place. The van then alittle quicker speeds back up and takes off further ahead down the long aged alleyway. Now within the Wayne museum over at the very large muscular bullheaded , humanesque aged looking minotaur its very dark deep black beady eyes flicker as though alive now. They flicker and flicker into a deepening neon red glowing and glowing set of lights , finally seeming they now remain on glowingly. All of a sudden this large muscular humanish aged looking minotaur indeed weirdly most unexpectedly turns its large gareish mouthed bullheaded head over and to the very far rightside of its standing position , which now is relaxing and standing now casually in stance , its arms and hands lowering and hanging down by its lower sides beside itself. This large muscular aged looking minotaur then slowly raises its right long arm and hand up and upward in front of itself , its long flat wide hand turning over and facing its open palm upward and ahead of itself. A sudden round circular neon yellow flash of light brightly happens , then again then again throughout this large wide area , mostly towards the two standing guard within security androids. Just then all the red blinking lights atop each perched and mounted security cameras all instantly go out , plus if any electric or electronic faint noises are totally gone and nonexistent now. This large muscular aged looking minotaur minotaur now also turns its large head back ahead and proceeds to heavy sounding step downward and ahead off of its ever so slight flat cement floored platform and begins walking further and further ahead and right over towards a certain one of the rectangularish horizontal glassy thin metal trimmed display cases. The large minotaur pulls back its now clutching fist making large right fist and promptly punches straight downward and ahead smashing apart the big glassy rectangular horizontal thin metal display case , it shatters and clink clankingly in various shattering downward shards and pieces all about , around and allover the dark blue marbish floor. The minotuar pauses then reaches downward further into this case and grasps and grabs a large coiled up trails of golden small tiny metal linked long trailing chains that are atop a large dark purple pillow. It bthen brings upward uncoilingly and right up and over its long muscular left arm and slings them all danglingly over its tall muscular upper left shoulder. This large muscular minotaur turns over to its far rightside and then walks over now towards another glassy thin metal trimmed display case , it then stops again and firmly repunches ahead indeed punching and smashing this next facing itself display case with its left large fist shatteringly apart , also its various glassy shards and pieces falling scattering about. The muscular large minotaur then stepping closer reaches downward and grasps firmly a large black fossilized scarab beetle , it grasps it and retracts his fisted up large left fist. The large muscular

minotaur then turns over to its further rightside and continues semi heavily stepping , striding and walking on ahead further and further away and over to The Wayne museum's far upper frontside ahead of its traveling , semi lumbering on and onward stepping path. Without warning a loud swooshing , metal chinging noise happens and a Battarang is thrown , tossed and flung plummetting right downward and ahead and straight over ahead at this minotaur's face's rightside. The minotaur swiftly reacts and raises up its large clutching long fingered hand and actually clutchingly catches this thrown Battarang firmly abruptly to a very sudden jerking type stop mere inches before its stoney aged bullish face. Just then down from The Wayne museum ceiling drops swoopingly down crouchedly in front of the large muscular minotaur's advancing walking path by about ten feet away facing him , and then fully stands up semi distantly in front of him. The large muscular minotaur cocks and slightly tilts its large bullish and horned head down and seemingly curiously poised down and ahead at Batman. A breif very dead silence happens as Batman stands his ground and stares right back up and over to this large muscular aged looking minotaur's stoney bullish shaped and contoured face. The minotaur then promptly crushes and crumples up the hand caught Battarang , a slight metal crinkingly noise happening as this happens. Batman scowls his deep dark inset eyes dissapointedly stare back up to this minotaurs face. The large minotaur then opens its right large hand and clink clankingly drops the now ruined crumpled up Battarang downward onto the dark blue marblish floor a few feet away and ahead to the far frontal rightside of the minotaur's large right squareish and oval topsided shaped hoof. Batman still staring up and over to the minotaur's large poised bullish shaped face very sarcastically and firmly remarks , "That's "not" good...." Another dead silence then happens again. Out of nowhere this large muscular minotaur tenses up its large body abit and then indeed somehow opens its gareish animalistic looking thin lipped mouth and in a very deep garbed loud , deep voice firmly declares , "I am Maxius......" Batman very confusedly pauses as abruptly Maxius the minotaur briskly and very aggressively rushes , lunges and runs right ahead at Batman. Batman semi reacts quickly as he now defensibly whirls up his long black gloved hands and black leathery arms blockingly as Maxius voilently shoves and pushes Batman quickly fully backwards and off and away crashing backwards into yet another glassy thin metal trimmed display case and falls down roughly onto and off of it tumbling onto the dark blue marbled floor as alot of shattering glass shards and pieces crash down along , upon and around him. Including a now very smashed long light blue ceramic egytian inscribed round plate and its shattering , scattering pieces and shards. Maxius the sharply turns and recharges right ahead and over ahead to its far rightside right back over to Batman's fallen collapsed body. Batman swiftly sits back up and stands fully back up again as Maxius runs right again directly at him as almost huffing and puffing some deepish sounding fake breath , closing and closing in quicker and quicker paced. Batman swiftly spins whirlling around and sidestepping Maxius's charging quick large rightside , he spins and twirls right around but Maxius stops abruptly in his tracks and backhandedly sways Batman aside just as Batman sidesteps him , he partially smacks Batman up in his upper right black leathery shoulder stumbling him backwards and falling black leathery rearenedly backwards downward into anoth glassy thin metal trimmed display case. This display case as like the others topples and shatters loudly apart and backwards smashing from inside of it a small ceramic ancient looking curvy pumpkin shaped open vase down shatteringly as well downward and onto the dark marbled floor , its housed dark purple pillow bouncing lightly also down onto this floor. Batman's fallen body tumbling down and off of its far left squareish bases side and tumbling over sideways onto his full frontside , also down onto the dark blue marbled floor. Just as now Maxius quickly reaches Batman again but this time abruptly stops in his large tracks and swings wildly ahead punchingly down abit over ahead a at him very closely across his face's frontside from right to left with his large right fist. Batman jumps back a quick step then another as Maxius then strikes punchingly slightly downward ahead with his large left fist at him. Batman then jumps up upon his left slender black leathery boot and spins , pivots and swiftly firmly kicks ahead and at Maxius's lower stomach. Maxius's very quick reacting right hand reaches and catches Batman's slender black leathery boot's ankle. His long muscular arm strongly and promptly yanks , pulls and throws Batman widely legfirst way over to

the far rightside of himself and tumbling away painfully sideways right into yet another glassy thin metal trimmed display case. Batman angrilly fumes and curses as he crashes roughly sideways downwards bouncing painfully onto this glass shattering case and firm black metal squareish base , then slowly rolls off onto the dark blue marble floor yet again. Maxius then yet again turns and rerushes yet again once more ahead and over to Batman. Batman swiftly sits up and yet again restands back up refacing over ahead to him , yet again. Batman then sharply and loudly exclaims sarcastically , "Bull fighting "isn't" one of my stronger points...."sorry"...." Batman then just as Maxius recharges right directly at him briskly runs ahead again rushes headlong right back into his quickly racing path. Batman once again lunges , jumps upward and deeply tucking in his black leathery semi armored body inward abit in front of himself and proceeds to front flip upward and ahead , his dropkicking long slender black boots soaring firmly ahead. Maxius keeps on running ahead this time as Batman's boots actually booting dropkick squarely down over ahead and in between Maxius's arched down pointed ahead set of long curvy extended out and ahead pointing horns. Batman's full black leathery body firmly crouches impactingly down ahead on Maxius rushing foward bullish head and he continues to even deeper front flipping ahead and way behind Maxius's briskly paced path , further flipping through the air and down squattingly onto the floor. This time Maxius just keeps on quickly running , charging and steamrolling ahead way past Batman just was and semi distantly crashes into and right loudly through The Wayne museum's far left wall. Batman clumbsily crash lands crouchingly atop his black slender leathery boots and due to his rapid landing speed tumbles even further head over boots and then painfully ahead and downward , his boots kick and smash into yet another glassy thin metal trimmed display case knocking it topplingly fully over and shattering loudly onto the dark blue marbled floor , Batman whumply lands atop his full backside. Maxius continues running outside as the wall's debris crumbles , crumples and collapses in a massive dirty dusty cloud of smokering dust. The black gold trimmed van slowly drives by once again in front of Maxius , its rear thin black metal doors opened up swingingly. Maxius turns and runs right behind the van and then proceeds to jump up crouchingly into these now more so opening thin black rear doors , they slam shut reclosed behind Maxius as the van's black rearend dips and bounces abit. The black gold trimmed van speeds up once more and quicker paced drives off and away back again down this long side aged alleyway beside The Wayne museum. Batman groggily begins to sit back up in visable dazed agony along the dark blue marbled floor and shakes his black leathery cowled head as though trying to clear out some mental cobwebs. Scant moments later now steps and walks cautiously ahead , through and out of The Wayne museum's smashed , crumpled apart debris laded far leftwall and the large craterous space left behind by Maxius. Batman slowly walks ahead out into the side long narrow alleyway and curiously stares all about and around both sides of this alleyway , then right back ahead of himself again. From across this long narrow alleyway downward swooping and landing there from way above is Batgirl , she lands squattingly and firmly down atop her slender dark purplely leathery boots , her long dark purple cape enshrouding her as she then fully stands back up semi distantly facing over to Batman , a slight sly smile upon her. Batman firmly and sarcastically quips , "No comment...and "no" time for autographs...maybe later." Batgirl then casually smirks and walks ahead and over to him and semi sarcastically replies back to him , "Hey , hey , hey....you "wanna" be a rockstar....?" She pauses and semi sarcastically and firmly asks ahead of herself , "Or better yet...how "about" being a detective and "tracker" "again"...instead...?" She then in her long dark purpleish right gloved hand reveals there semi clutched in it and facing over ahead to him a Batscanner , its wide but small digital glassy screen facing ahead displaying a few vertical wavy neon blue and red waverying electronic lines and a very neon red blinking red round light over at its front's furthest leftside. Batgirl then casually and firmly adds , "I flung a "tracker" Battarang and nailed the black van that "just" took...that big bully looking"monstilacus" there away....coolies huh....? You..."in"....?" Batman very much squints his deep dark eyes curiously back over ahead to and at her. About half an hour later King Tutt now stands before Maxius , Maxius is reveredly kneeling down upon his large bony strong looking bent down right knee and holding extending his left long large muscular arm and open hand flatly opened and pointing

ahead at King Tutt. King Tutt is already holding the long golden tiny chaink linked several necklaces from The Wayne museum casually semi clutched in his left chubby fattish fingered hand. His eyes widening exitedly as his long right chubby arm and fattish fingered right hand downward abit and ahead reachingly grasping the big black fossilized scarab beetle , also from the Wayne museum as well. King Tutt happily exclaims , "Aha..."my" Maxius....glorious reward "indeed"...how nice...." He then inspectingly eyes this large black fossilized beetle up more so to his roundish eyelevel , he warmly smirks and casually remarks , "You "may" rise Maxius..."you" have done well...." Maxius then accordingly fully unkneels and fully restands back up. King Tutt then takes these long trailing several golden chains and proceeds to pull and sling them up and over his fattish chubby neck's rightside and drops them danglingly onto and semi around himself. He then even happier stares , gazes and looks back all around himself still standing as earlier seen within his dark wooden smallish but vastly wide lair of sorts. His very throne's stairs right behind his chubby rightside , still atop it his wide red cushiony golden trimmed throne. There are eight various sized black cloaked , white bandaged faced congregated together in two vertical rows side by side men standing at somewhat attention over ahead to him. He then proudly and loudly exclaims , "And Yes.....the very "The very Golden Strands of Ramen Nooduuta....the very big black Beetle of Cairo....both handed down through the ages to me and "mine" earthly hands alone...."now"....."praise" them both my minions....praise them towards Ra...In "your" very thanks...." All the eight various looking assembled black cloaked men happily cheer loudly back ahead over to him , King Tutt warmly seemingly basks in their cheering happiness as he tilts his fattish chubby faced head to his chubby rightside and raises up his long chubby arms and hands by his sides , upward and upwards slowly then stopping up by his roundish head's far widely spaced away topside. King Tutt then relowers his chubby long arms and held sarasb beetle down by his portly rightside and sighs a deep content sigh. Stepping back a few steps King Tutt then loudly declares aloud and ahead towards his assembled eight various men , "For "whoith" knows....prehaps "our" beloved "Scorpoid" may slumber further on....prehaps "for" now...we "shall" rest and rejoice of our celebratory finds for at least a few days or weeks...."of" course all the while to have special thanks for "The Wayne museum" , for being of such folly.....with this "beetle" we shall harness such wealth and spoils to be....with these golden chains....we "could" even trade or oversell them to distant others....if "need" be...." He pauses glimpsing more so left and right of these assembled black cloaked men and firmly adds , "For "this" is just a begining....any next egyptian worthy events and such "are" far and few between now....but then again...there are always "banks" , other museums and whever "we" shall choose to strike to be had....for after "our" very respite of time alotted by Ra....we "shall" continue on....as just like many a Pharoh and his men have done for the ages of history......King Tutt "shall" rise above it "all"....." All eight black cloaked , white bandaged men again happily cheer and yell about back over ahead at King Tutt. King Tutt then firmer louder toned adds , "And I "shall" appear generous....before "all"....and "become" as like an egyptian legend....!!!!! And you shall "all" march into the sands of time along with "me"...even untill the afterlife!!!!" A few of the black cloaked white bandaged faced men in the middle of this small crowd of men pause abit confusedly back over and at him , King Tutt notices this and attetentively stares and the few that do. He then firmly accusingly states , "If you "do" not follow "me" into the afterlife...."your" life shall "end" tonight...rest assured...."men" any of "you" that "are" faint of "faith"....mark "my" words Egyptian chickens "will" feast of "nonbelievers" corpses "well"...." An all to familar voice speaks up from far ahead and off to the far left of King Tutt , it is Batman's gruff sarcastic sounding voice , he casually but firmly states over ahead to him , "As long as "your" not gonna be "feasting".....the "only" place you "are" going to rise and appear to "is" a courtroom trial and judge.....and following "right" behind you..."this" mummy squad of yours...." King Tutt slowly angrilly scowls deep and deeper then curiously stares way semi distantly over ahead indeed to Batman standing there , the black cloaked men then also curiously turn around and as well curiously stare over ahead to him. Batman steps a few more steps out of this wide room's dark shadowy shadows revealing more of himself and stops in his tracks more so directly staring intently over back ahead at King Tutt himself. King Tutt very angrilly declares aloud staring right back over to him , he yells angrilly , "The bat....!!!! I "have" known vicous , cruel asps , lazy scorpions...even average camels....but "never" have I "abided"

any kind of a...."bat"....!!!!!! How "dare" you invade "my" kingdom.....!!!!!" Batgirl then slowly steps out from the same dark shadowy shadows alongside Batman's far rightside and sarcastically replies back over ahead to King Tutt , "Hey...how dare "you" invade such clothes....you "ever" here of a stairclimber...over in egypt....like pyramid stairs or something.....?" King Tutt even angrier fumes an angry scowl now back over ahead to Batgirl and firmly muses , "A "female" bat....?" He then stares back over at Batman and inquisitively asks him , "Is "this" bring your wife , neice or daughter to "work" day....? I assure you Bat-man...."she" will perish of your folly "just" as well...." Batman firmly and gruffily toned replies back , "take "it" up with her....she is "neither" or of the just aftermentioned above...." King Tutt then as though annoyedly smirks a deep smirks back over at him , then sharply remarks , "No matter.....the sands of "your" times "shall run red and just as watery as the very Nile itself...." Batman then very firmly states , "It's "over" Tutt...." King Tutt then accusingly raises up his long right chubby hand and still holding his black sacarab fossilized beetle points with his long chubby right index finger up ahead and over to him and loudly adds , "It "is" over for "you" Batman....and "your" little freind "too"...." He pauses then loudly angrilly toned instructs aloud , "Get "'em" boys....now!!!!!!" Batgirl semi sarcastically quips over to Batman as she now stands alongside to a stop beside Batman's black leathery rightside and quips , "This "must" be where I "get" to show off "my" dope fresh "dancemoves" huh....?" Batman as though semi playfully asks right back over to her , "You "wanna" lead....?" All eight black cloaked white bandaged men begin to all fully and turn around facing semi distantly ahead and back over to this standing batlike twosome , a few of them pounding their fists aggressively into their other open palmed hands before themselves. King Tutt then sighs a deep tiredish sound sigh as he wide eyedly proudly looking watches on and onward ahead and over at all of this now happening semi distantly before himself. Suddenly one of the black cloaked white bandaged men rushes wildly swinging his long white bandaged fist up and over at Batgirl as Batgirl pounces ahead at him , Batgirl then dodges his thrown punch and simlutainiously with her slender left arm outblocks the punch away from herself and with her slender right long leg and dark purple boot swiftly boots him squarely into his black cloaked stomach , hurling him ass first backwards and into another of the black cloaked , white bandaged faced man. Another one of these men rushes over and at her far leftside , Batgirl as she lands back down her swift slender right boot back atop the floor now , bounces up onto her left slender dark purple leathery boot , spins , pivots and widely kicks right over circularly into this rushing man's headlong poised face's left long white bandaged face. This man wrenchingly whelps over to his still running leftside and tumbles collapsing downward across the floor. Batgirl rewhirls back fully around as yet another of these men also swinging his fists over ahead at her. Batgirl swiftly then sidesteps his attack very closely by his running rightside and with her swiftly kicking poised right slender boot kicks him squarely upside his lowerbackside proppelling him quicker ahead. He stumbles and runs erradically ahead at Batman as he briskly , strongly winds up and punches this running man right in his face knocking him backwards and assfirst slidingly onto the floor , then collapses in agony along the rest of his fallen quick backside. Batgirl then now strikes a firmly slender legged , open handed before herself poised fighting stance. Yet another of these black cloaked , white bandaged men continues to rush , angrilly yell and also wildly swings and swings his clutched fists over ahead to her poised frontside. Batgirl swiftly swings her open left long arm and hand up circularly blocking his attack , then swings her long slender right open arm and hand circularrly as well over widely to her upper rightside blocking his other striking clutched fist. Right as she one two stepped in one fluid motion then stomps her slender right boot down hard onto this man's black left shoe , this man accordingly whelps and sharply curses as she then proceeds to knee upward inbetween his black cloaked crotch. This man buckles up and kee knockingly slowly collapses downward onto the floor before herself. Briskly then yet another of these black cloaked men lunges over this fallen man before Batgirl and kickingly soars ahead right at her , his black cloaked right leg and black shoe kicking straight ahead and upward at her. Batgirl respins fully around stops and with her long slender dark purplish gloved hands she crosses them at her petite wrists pushing his very flung kick downward , unfurls her wrists then slender hands underhandedly up , around and ahead an with both hands fiercely pushes this man backwards by his lower chest backward a

stumbling step , respins quickly around to her full rightside and lengthedly swings and kicks her slender left boot ahead then into his upper chest toppling him futher stumblingly backwards and slowly falling downward as like the others so far downward onto this room's floor. Batgirl then firmly swings , whirls and poses into yet another firm legged open handed and armed fighting pose before herself. Batman then swiftly runs up beside her petite slender rightside and placing his long left black gloved hand breifly down atop her petite shoulder firmly sidekickingly jumps , lunges and kicks far ahead nailing yet another black cloaked , white bandaged faced man right in his upper chest hurling him fully backwards and crashingly backwards and tumbling onto the floor. Batman swiftly lands boots first and whirls up his long black leathery arm and right fist swinging upward and at his side as yet another man rushes attackingly at his dark rightside , Batman's black leathery fist backhandedly strikes and nails this attacking man right up in his face. This next attacking man curses faintly and slowly collapses downward crumplingly onto the floor. The last black cloaked , white bandaged man rushes ahead and punches over ahead at Batman , Batman slappingly casually seemingly batts his long left black gloved hand to his far left deflecting this man's fiercly thrown punch. This man angrier curses and strikes then with his right swinging fist at him , Batman dodges and darts back a step then pouncing back ahead swiftly raises and kicks this man right upside his face's leftside. As Batman's long slender black leathery boot relands back floor bound again this last attacking man whelps in sudden agony and also as all the others have done , collapses downward onto this wide room's floor , he falls inches before Batman and dazedly curses as he does more so. A breif deadish silence then happens around Batman then Batgirl still fighting stanced poised behind his black leathery leftside. Batman then and Batgirl both simultainiously stare ahead curiously over where King Tutt was just standing brief moments before , he is gone now vanished. Batman squints his deep dark eyes dissapointedly as Batgirl sharply exclaims , "Hey...that egyptian looking fat guy's gone....drat , darn and fricken dam....huh?" Batman slowly quips back to her as she now relaxes her body and standing stance , he quips , "Something "like" that.....you "could" say...." Batman then Batgirl begin to both walk firmly stridingly ahead and further across this very wide dark wooden floored and black cloaked bodied now room , further ahead and over to a wide opened thin black metal archway leading seemingly over into another wide darkly lit dark wooden room. Batgirl musingly then asks up over to Batman , "Should we like "quickly" split up and see if "either" one of us "can" find him....?" Batman sharply replies aloud to her , "He "couldn't" have gone "too" far...." Batman now brisker paced enters through this wide thin black metal trimmed archway and gradually walks to a stop annoyedly staring ahead now seeing what awaits him in this next wide opened up dark wooden room. Semi distantly standing there is Maxius , facing back over to him , within an as though readyingly fighting , fiorm legged fighting stance , his large fists curled up abit before his lowersides. Standing to Maxius's far left large side is King Tutt upon a golden flat squareish platform with a black and gold trimmed podium before and slightly below in front of himself , his fattish chubby fingered hands resting down upon it before himself as well. He flashes over a very mocking , sarcastic glaring smile towards Batman and firmly , loudly and angrilly toned declares , "Ah yes..."welcome" to "my" very pulpit room Batman....and "whoever" you claim to be...batty looking girl.....this "is" my desciple..."Maxius"...." He pauses then firmer amusedly states , "I "believe" you Batman "have" already met him...."quite" the scuffle I heard you two had....ha...." Batman steps a few more steps into this very room and stops once more and then firmly replies back over to King Tutt , "Charmed." King Tutt sarcastically replies back , "Ah...always the romantic I see....no matter...."time" to waltz "once" more with him...Bat-man....he "can" crush you to crypt dust....matter of fact..."this" time...along with your new freind there....I will allow him to do so..."enjoy" the violent misery...."both" of you....to suffer the crushing sands of time.....and "mortality" of course..." batman firmly quips back over ahead to him , "I "ain't" accepting "tha"t Tutt...and I doubt "she" will either...surrender now...save us "all" some shifting sands of time....." King Tutt amusedly remarks back to him , "i would "love" to stay and watch "such" a violent mess...but alas...I "have" other pressing matters of yore...to attend..."untill" a next time in the afterlife...I "will" see you both...later past today...." King Tutt then glimpses down at the podium before himself and

atop of it reaches and presses a small round black button inward atop of it at his lower rightside. He looks back up and over at Batman and Batgirl now again standing beside his dark leathery rightside again and very warmly laughs a little and wide eyedly happily and loudly declares , "The Pharoh...."must" leave....pray to "Ra" for your very souls....!!!!" This very podium and King Tutt begin to actually slowly lower and lower down and downward into and beyond this dark wooden floor and its dark wooden floorboards. Batgirl instantly twirls , twists and hurls her long slender right dark purple gloved hand swiftly before herself and slightly upward and ahead way over at Maxius's large leftside a sharp metal chinging noise happens. Maxius effortlessly looking swiftly swings his left large fist upward and deflects this very quickly thrown Battarang bounces clinkingly up and off of this swiftly poised fist's top leftside. The Battarang then sharply bounces and sails upward diagnally and embedds itself up into the dark wooden ceiling of this room's further leftside , a breif second later the Battarang explodes into an instant red orangey fireball , and in reaction explodes and blows apart of this very dark ceiling. A big bunch of falling aged bricks and pieces of slight afire now burning wood limply fall and crash down rainingly upon King Tutt as he is almost completely lowered and gone from this wide dark wooden room , King Tutt angrilly waves and covers up his fattish headressed rounded head and face with his long chubby right arm and hand defensibly atop and along himself , the semi fiery bricked , broken wooden debris collapses right down this squareish podium's lowering shaft , Tutt can be heard annoyedly cursing and whelping further and abit muffledly. Batman casually remarks , "Coulda "told" you Battarangs "haven't" worked yet on this behemoth...." Batgirl consolingly quips , "At least Tutt got hit....huh....?" Batman flater toned chimes in , "Guess so...minor miracle...." He tensely pauses then firmer adds , "Now "here" comes the "tough" part...." Maxius then huffs and puffs deeply his very fake sounding aged ceramic stoney breath back over ahead at Batman , his large fists reclenching firmer and even firmer more so down before his lower poised sides. Batgirl tiredly sighs a deep thinking and concernedly sounding sigh. Batman then firmly urges back over to her , "Now...if you "may" follow "my" lead...." Maxius now stomps and stomps his long right large top sided hoof up then down atop this dark wooden floor and stretches his long muscular arms out and abit more so at his large sides , his right long fingers curl strongly abit looking. He then loudly , deeply declaringly exclaims again in his deep garbled male sounding voice , "I am Maxius...." He then as though more so directly stares closer down ahead towards Batman and even firmer adds , "And..."both" of you....are..."dead"....so "sayeith" King Tutt....." Batman reaches down at his dark yellow utility belt around his waist his fingers reaching and into a very small capsulish compartment all the while chimes back up and over at Maxius , "Swell." Batman begins stepping closer and closer over ahead to him , then little by little over to the far rightside of this room. Maxius stands his ground as then Batgirl slowly cautiously steps also now abit closer and closer into this dark wide wooden room. Maxius turns his large bullish face over towards and ahead to her then back again over to Batman again. Maxius then tenses , darts and rushes right over at Batman lowering his wide outstreched curvy horns down over ahead at him , Batman swiftly turns and quickly runs ahead and right over at this room's far right dark wooden wall , just as Maxius rapidly follows right horn firstish behind Batman Batman now runs up lunges and jumps upward foward and off to the very far left up at and very breifly along this wide dark wooden wall. Batman briskly fastly does this and as he diagnally runs up and two firm steps along this wall's far left corner he simultainiously spins and whirls fully around to his far left looking slightly down behind himself and tosses his long black right hand down in front of himself as a few tossed round very small orange pellets straight down and at Maxius as he lands swiftly downward back bootsfirst atop the dark wooden floor , Maxius running to a slow stop all the while turning curiously poised back over to him. The very small orange pellets are now exploding into inky orange smoky smokering smoke right upon Maxius's upper chest. Maxius arcs and looks abit downward in front of himself noticing these orange pellets power smoke burning abit smoulderingly inward into his wide muscular chest. Batman again dissapointedly squints his his deep inset dark eyes. Maxius raises his large muscular right strong hand up then down vertically at his upper wide chest and brushing some of this orange inky dusty smokey powder down and off of himself onto the dark wooden floor before himself. Maxius's large muscular body tensing up once again , another deep huffing and puffing

fake breath of air happening again out from both of his large bullish nostrils. Abruptly then Batgirl runs quickly ahead and in mid air spins , whirls fully around and firmly swings and kicks her long right slender leg around in front of herself. She swiftly sails and firmly kicks ahead and at Maxius's lower mid section , Maxius slightly quickly turns to his large rightside and with now his large muscular right arm and hand swings around and quickly batts her slender long dark purple leathery boot right backwards deflectingly. Batgirl sharply dissapointedly whelps and lengthily backflips and crash landedly lands swiftly paced boots first downward as her long slender arms and hands stretch and poise out and up by her petite sides , she swiftly slightly slowly lands hard down sliding backwards a few leaning foward feet backwards down and across this dark wooden floor , then to a very gradual stop. Batman very swiftly hurls his long right black leathery arm and black gloved hand up again in front of himself and a loud metal chining noise happens , a Battarang then is launched , tossed and thrown up and over at Maxius's far rightside and from under its bat curved bottomside is a trailing thin black metallic cablewire , this Battarang and thin cableish black wire tightly swooshingly whirls and enwraps fully whippingly up down and around Maxius's large muscular neck then clackingly resting down before his large muscular chest. Batman then proceeds to run and jump up and over at Maxius's large right but more so rearside. Batman flyingly swoops upwards and firmly grasps his long black leathery arms and black gloved hands right around Maxius's large muscular neck as well as this black thin cabley wire and Battarang.He then firmly tightly enwraps and clutches around him as Maxius begins tossing , turning and thrashing about left then right then left again as though trying very much to shake and toss Batman off of him , over and over and largely stepping around this room and begining to spin , whirl and circle around and around abit more and more as Batman tighter and stronger holds and holds on grunting annoyedly abit. Batgirl rerushes ahead back over at Maxius's large frontside and swiftly jumps up onto her slender dark purple leathery boot and with her slender right dark purple leathery boot proceeds to kick Maxius firmly up into his large muscular stomach. Maxius swings his large muscular right fist down and right over at her , she darts and dodges it to her far left , Maxius advances ahead and then swings punchedly at her with his large strong left fist , Batgirl quickly dodges that punch as well. But soon as she darts and dodges a second time Maxius jumps up atop his large left hoof and straight ahead kicks up and ahead at her with his large right hoof. Batgirl barely in time down blocks this sudden quick hoofkick with her down crossed slender dark purple gloved hands and arms , as she now swiftly barely blocks this it propels her quickly backwards and off to her far leftside tumbling , stumbling and falling assfirst hard down slidingly across this room's floor. Batman meanwhile is struggling but in fact reaching down around and ahead at Maxius's chest and regrasps his entwined around to the slight clink clanking Battarang dangling there with his long black gloved hand and firmly grasps it as Maxius yet again aggressively turns and whirls around somemore. Batman firmly leans backwards semi pressing his black leathery knees up against Maxius's large muscular backside and yanks upward this Battarang up behind Maxius's thrashing large rightside the black wirey cable constricting more so around his large torso and giving Batman more lengthy slack. Maxius rolls and shakes his large muscular shoulders and violently more so flails his large long muscular arms around and around himself further all the while with his wide strong waist standing still more so thrashes , turns and strugglingly annoyedly whirls around some more , as though still desperately to get Batman off of his large muscular backside. Batman shudders , shakes and arcing his long black leathery cowled neck backwards abit more so twirls , unwraps for a few swift quickly pacedt his long black cabley wire abit from around Maxius with his semi clutched long black gloved hand and till clutching the Battarang he swiftly with the alowing long trailing few foot distance rethroughs this Battarang arcing it up and upwards best he can across this room. It indeed soars , sails and is thrown right then up into one of this dark wooden room's ceiling's many dingy darkly lit rectangular flat light fixtures , its outer slight mesh glassy covering smashes and shatters apart , The Battarang embedding right up diagnally into the very set of flourecent bulbs and electric wiring of this darkly lit light fixture. A massive blueish crackiling electric charge of decending electricity racingly bolts and zaps right down this very black cabley wire and right around Maxius's much so upper torso and violently jolts him immensely , his large arms opening and twitching. Batman falls groggily and limply downward and backwards at this room's dark wooden floor ,

Batgirl sprintingly runs ahead and jumps swinging her long slender dark leathery purple legs and boots baseball slidingly downward and quickly ahead along this floor as Batman's fallen semi shocked looking body falls fully backwards down bouncingly upon her extended swooping and sweeping ahead legs and boots. Batgirl grunts abit as Batman's black leathery body then bounces up and rollingly abit down and off of her slender legs and gently bounces down atop the floor befoe her slender boots atop his full backside , once again landingly. Batgirl warmly smiles over at him then back up at Maxius as he is still being shocked , zapped and electrocuted quite cracklingly. His large reaching clutching hands tearing , ripping and grasping at this Battarang and long trailing electrified thin black cabley wire still enwrapped around him. He gets zapped , shocked and electracuted some more , shimmeys , trembles and shakes more so then slowly begins to collapse limply downward onto his large left knee then fully facefirst very loudly whumpingly down across , along and atop this room's dark wooden floor.The electrified Battarang being now yanked and pulled down out of the overheaded darkly lit now blinking erradic light fixture and also limpy falls downward and clink clankingly lands atop Maxius's large very fallen muscular upper backside. Batgirl now casually gazing ahead and at Maxius's very fallen large muscular catatonic stiffly posed looking body sarcastically then comments , "Jeez...how's "that" for "some" bullcrap...huh....?" Batman groggily slowly sits up leaning at his rightside abit and groans in agony abit as he reaches over with her long black gloved hand and begins rubbing his left black leathery left arm up and downwise and slowly then deeply curses , then again. Batgirl looks over and ahead back to Batman and warmly smirks and then as though playfully remarks , "Wonder if "all" your costumed "Bat" hairs are frazzeled....? Seems you gave "bull" boy there "quite" a jolt huh....?" Batman slowly dazedly replies back over to her , "Yeah...and thanks for the leggy baseball slide catch there..."quite" good at improve I see...." Batgirl then playfully replies back over to him , "Yeah....I "get" like that....coolies on me I guess....thanks..." Batman then slowly stands fully back up , Batgirl also now begins to do the very same still partially facing him. Batman reglimpses back over at the very fallen Maxius's body and semi sarcastically remarks , "Heck of a darn bullfight...it "was"...ugh....still feel kinda "zingy" inside....ugh....." Batgirl then assuringly replies back over to him , "Understandably....what a heck of a trick....kudos to you too bats...." Batman mildy amusedly smiles back over to her and casually remarks , "Luckily..."it" worked...." Batgirl semi concernedly smirks abit back over at him and semi tiredly sighs a little. A few minutes later Batman and Batgirl are now atop the dark flat aged rooftop of King Tutt's lair which is a small wide cementish one story building , they are both casually standing around in the mid section of it. Batgirl informingly states , "So...I literally almost "bumped" into a few of those mummy cloak dudes as I was going by that neigborhood "just" on my way to the dry cleaners....they sped away from one of the Waynetech warehouses and dropped a few small caches of wooden crated crates of some Waynetech as they took off from the scene....therfore "then" I found some and....I dunno..."checked" it out...."yaknow....?"" Batman semi flatly replies back over to her , "I guess I can see that...."still" some people "would" have possibly given it back to say...the cops or somebody of authority?" Batgirl then semi sarcastically quips back , "Sounds as like an "idealistic" old school game of morals you're "kinda" like talking bout...."understandably"...considering....you "are" Batman...." Batman mildly annoyedly squints his deep dark inset eyes back over at her , Batgirl amusedly sighs abit back to him. Batman then flatly remarks , "Still I stand by my words...."Batgirl"....Gotham is "not" an amusement park...."these" are not games "out" here....I've already lost a good freind because of "it" all...." Batgirl then semi genuinely syphathetically replies , "Right...Robin number two....eeeks indeed Bats...."still" sorry to hear about that...that "dam" Joker character villian of yours....total nutball...." Batman then pauses then firmly toned states , "None the less 'whatever" happened then...."today" is another day....." Just then the sound of wailing police sirens fills the semi distant lower air all around this dark aged wide small storied building and its aged streeted neigborhood. Batgirlrolls her petite inset eyes and casually quips , "Ah yes..."your" calling in tip "is" kicking in....time for me to "skee"..." She pauses then warmly smiles back over to Batman and nonchalantly quips , "See ya round campus...." Her long slender dark purple gloved hand reaches down and grasps a small folded up triagnally tipped grappling hooked , slim flat black metal

device from her dark yellow utility belt's far lower rightside and unclicks it from the belt. She swiftly raises it upward abit and over ahead of herself diagnally through the nighttime's dark blueish black night air and sky. She presses two side buttons upon it and its grappling hook "btwangs" up and rapidly out of it and distantly ahead , Batgirl then even casually states , "I was "gonna" vanish on ya...but "seems" to me "getting" a tad kinda cliche...." Batgirl then releases the sideded buttons upon this device and is effortlessly pulled and yanked upward and away off of this dark flat rooftop into the very blueish black night air and sky , her long dark purple clothy cape whooshing and furling around flappingly abit. Batman mildly watches her vanish distantly ahead further and further upward over and away from him and this dark aged flat very rooftop and building , he then semi tiredly deeply sighs concernedly aloud and to himself. About twenty minutes later Batman now is back down within King Tutt's lair and its main dark wooden wide room , casually standing there next to Commisoner Gordon as several various dark blue uniformed police officers are very present and proceeding to be escorted the now handcuffed , black cloaked white bandaged faced eight men up and out of this place. There is a youngish uniformed police officer over to the far left crouching and taking several photos of Maxius's fallen face downed large muscular body with a small greyish rectangular camera clutched before himself and eyeing downward at and around Maxius. Gordon is casually glancing over at this photo taking officer and Maxius's large fallen muscular body and is telling Batman informingly , "So far...the three "american" thugs are "still" knocked out.....and none of those mostly egyptian "thugs" "are" saying much....one said Bratticus left with...."Scorpiod".....in a very broken english....whatever "that's" supposed to mean right....? Some kinda wacky "puzzle" for another day...huh...? As we do know..."it" never stops...." Batman flatly replies back to him , "Guess so....maybe it means one of their own got away in the mix....dunno...like you say...at "this" point...can only guess...." Gordon then more so turning over to him then pauses and warly toned remarks , "Oh...and "of" course....what "we" did find downstairs....is "quite" the catch....he isn't "dead"...." Batman curiously muses , "Oh jeez duh...right...you mean Tutt....?" Just then from over this wide dark wooden room steps up three people , two more uniformed police officers walking behind King Tutt's rearsides as though leading him onward and ahead over towards Batman and Gordon. King Tutt though now as his headdress off and instead has his very balding thin black greyish haired rounded chubby faced head , atop its far rightside is a mid sized rectangular white bandaid placed and stuck across him. Batman and Gordon amusedly both look over and watch these two uniformed officers and King Tutt casually seeming approach them both. King Tutt as he now walks up and stops a few feet away from more so directly facing Batman and in a very aristocratic sounding casual voice says over towards Gordon and Batman , "Ah yes....Commisoner Gordon....it is and..."you" are...The Batman....? Correct....?" Gordon then flatly replies , "Yes Iam....Mr.Tutt...." Batman steps a step foward and stops then casually replies back over to him , "Yes....I am Batman.....Professor Mackelroy....welcome back....."again"...." King Tutt now curiously stares more so back over ahead to Batman and firmly muses , "Have "we" met before...Batman...? Yes indeed...Iam Professor Wiiliam Omaha Mackelroy....Professor of Egyptology...amoung "many" other researches , histories and varied studies...." Batman semi sarcastically remarks , "Bump on the head...."you're" no longer "KIng Tutt"....deja vu for "me"...thats all....this "very" similar thing happened "last" time we met.....Professor...." Professor Mackelroy then polititely replies back , "Ok then...you "seem" to think we "have" previously crossed paths in one way or another...."intriguing"....but I "do" not remember your sir....none offenses given...." Batman casually smirks abit back over at him and flatly quips , "Right....ok then...."professor"...." Gordon then curiously asks over to the now Professor Mackelroy , "Could you "please" tell me Professor...what a "Scorpiod" is.....? Just a curious...?" Professor Mackelroy then curiously looks more so directly back over to him and nonchalantly toned replies , "It means...scorpion like....plus curved...a perticular twisted inflorescence......kind of an "odd" question to ask...but none the less...there "you" go Commisoner sir....I think..."don't" mind me I was told I "had" a bump to my head today and these nice gentlemen are taking me to a "hospital" to get it checked out..."they said"..." Professor Mackelroy flatly smiles over to his far left and right at each semi behind him standing uniformed police officers , then back over to Batman then Gordon once again. Gordon then firmly but casually remarks , "Very good then...'officers"

please do "escort" the good doc here "up" to the "hospital"....indeed...." The uniformed officer on the far left of Professor Mackelroy's right chubby side firmly comments back over to Gordon , "Right sir..." The two uniformed cops then begin to march right up behind Professor Mackelroy's sides more so and stop closer towards him and the left standing uniformed officer firmly but casually toned asks , "Professor...."time" to go...." Professor Mackelroy casually then replies back over to him , "Yes..."of" course....officer...." He pauses then relooks back yet again over ahead to Gordon then Batman and warmly loudly adds abit , "Thank you "both" kind sirs....I "will" be sure to send a correspondence of satisfaction soon as like a thank you note each for sure....I heard I "was" kind fell into dumbwaiter shaft of this "very" building...?" He then reglances down at his clothes seemingly then back up and over to Batman yet again and this time casually chimes in , "Prehaps I "was" at a "costume" party....?" The uniformed officer on the right right next to Professor Mackelroy's chubby rightside flatly urges , "Allright...cool....let's go Professor...." Professor mildly politely smiles a firm warm smile back over at Batman once again and begins to casually step off and away to this dark wide wooden room's furhest far leftside , the two uniformed officers all the while still semi marching abit guidingly by a few close feet behind and at his chubby walking ahead sides , on and onward , further and further away. A breif silence happens as Gordon and Batman watch Professor Mackelroy get led further and onward away across this wide dark wooden room. Gordon then very casually asks over to Batman , "What say it's "time" to go back to your...Batcave and chill right...I know...I "need" a drink...right about now...that "Tutt" guys "seems" fruitrings....a total different personality on him...or is it "in" him...you say....?" Batman then flatly replies , "Last time I tangled with Tutt the very same "basic" thing happened...during a battle he was knocked on the head by something and reverted back to I guess...his very real persona..."that" one we "just" met....well me now for the "second" time....I wouldn't be at all "surprised" if I met him for the first time....a third time.....ugh...." Gordon then pauses and curiously asks over to Batman , "Also...."by" the way....what about...ya know of course I "ain't" gonna tell any of the cops around me about it...but "just" a curiousity of mine....if it "still" even comes up....one of the thugs breifly mentioned some..."other" person here tonight...."actually" helping you out "or" something...the thug said he got kicked "real" bad by some..."chickiepie" in a Bat....suit....? A Bat wife , relative or...child...?" Batman more so looking back over at him firmly states , "Just a "freind" of mine showed up...no biggie...she calls herself "Batgirl"....no relation....kind of a lucky break for "me"...."she" helped me against alot here....she even bought me distraction time for "old" laying "bull" here....." He pauses then casually adds , "We could "just" call it a guest starring cameo of sorts....." Gordon then sarcastically smirks abit back over at him and very casually toned replies , "We'll "leave" it at that then....no biggie to me....I just wanna go home...drink , eat...sleep.....if you "got" another pal of crimefighting running around just "remind" them there "is" a bodybag tax nowadays...just in case any of em get killed trying to play hero round here....unless it is of course Superman , Aquaman...or even Green Lantern...."those" are pros...." Batman informingly replies , "I told her...'it's" not a game....Gotham's not a theme park....." Gordon then amusedly laughs abit back over at him and warmly sarcastically replies , "I see.....heck of a credo you got there....life is a Caberet "was" already taken...." Batman then sarcastically quips back over to him , "Funny." Gordon amusedly smiles back again over ahead at him. Batman then firmer toned states , "And "about" a nap , drink or meal....definately very "soon".....but first....?" He then pauses and then dissapointedly adds , "I have a certain "clown" to check "in" on...." Gordon then semi concernedly looming around then yet again back over at Batman and sarcastically remarks , "I "had" a slight feeling you'd say "something" like that.....make "sure" he "really" is there....I find "it" miraculas myself...." Batman semi tiredly sighs as though thinkingly yet again today , then dissapointedly remarks , "Back to Arkham.....yet "again"."
