The walk through the sewers of Gotham was long and frankly disgusting. Black Spider took the head of the group, knowing the route to where they were going to get their supplies, followed closely by Dead Shot, then Harley, then King Shark, who was letting Killer Frost ride on his shoulder. Captain Boomerang took up the rear, cursing and complaining the whole time. Naruto was strangely nowhere to be seen.

Captain Boomerang suddenly found himself stepping on a dead mouse, which quickly caved in upon itself and turned to mush as a result of decomposition.

Boomerang was disgusted,"This is fucking pathetic. We're walking around in the sewers so one bloke in a bat suit won't find us."

Dead Shot made his way to the back of the group, staring into Boomerang's eyes,"You're welcome to go topside if you want."

Boomerang, quickly realizing that he would be going alone if he went, hmphed.

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

He made his way back to the front of the group as they continued to march.

"Yeah, this is pretty disgusting,"The group looked up to the ceiling of the sewer, finding Naruto standing there, eyes closed as he nodded sagely. He smirked, a face that looked wrong on what would have been a cute kid,"You know, I could transport all of us wherever you want if you just take the collar off. It reeeeeeeally beats walking."

Before Boomerang, who was clearly willing to disregard everything they knew about Naruto for free transportation, could say anything, Dead Shot once again interrupted,"As long as the situation isn't dire, that collar isn't coming off."

Naruto sucked his teeth."Buzzkill."

The rest of the walk was pretty inconsequential, with Harley asking how exactly Naruto was walking on the ceiling, and Naruto replying,"It's a Demon thing."

A short while later, we find our merry band of misfits at the door of an exclusive club/hotel/casino. The Iceberg was owned by none other than Oswald C. Cobblepot. So after a quick check in with the guards, they got led to the Penguin himself.

The stout man was eating from a massive pile of fish while drinking from a bottle of wine.

"Mm, lovely. Real fresh, jus' the way I like 'em. " Penguin looked up after stuffing a few in his mouth,"Dead Shot, that you? Didn't peg you as much of a team player." He waved in the mans general direction with a half eaten fish, talking to his security guards,"That there, lads, is the best assassin in the world I tell ya, and I only work with the best."

"Hello, Penguin," Deadshot greeted."We got in contact because-"

"Hey, shorty!"Naruto was jovial as he walked up to the table from the back of the group. If you had checked his trail into the room, you'd find a trail of terrified security guards.

Dead Shot was about to try and apologize for the boy, seeing Penguin nearly choke on his wine in shock. But Penguin beat him to the punch.

"Why if it aint my favorite pyromaniac. You were a shot taller the las' I saw ya. What happened?"

"Cadmus finally managed to catch me, cramping me up with this collar."

"Eh, well ain't that a pickle."

"Yeah... hey, can you unclip this for me...Please?"

"I would, really I would. But my hands are covered in fish, and I know you hate the smell."

"Oh... okay... I'm going to go harass Candy and Tracy!" With that he skipped off, whistling a jaunty tune. As he skipped by, visible beads of sweat began to roll down the faces of security.

Penguin quickly turned to the group,"Okay, listen now, especially you, clown. Naruto is not a man to be fucked with, got it?"

Quinn, only really catching onto the part where she was called a clown, smiled nervously,"Ah, Pengy, don't tell me you're still mad ab-"

"Shut it, this aint the time. Whatever you do, don't let that… that thing loose in my city. Taking a manilla envelope from one of his goons, he tossed it at Floyd."We're gonna get you in through the looney bin. Follow the guards,, they'll show you lot to your rooms."

A shrill pair of female screams filled the air, along with childish maniacal laughter.

Penguin's face aged visibly,"What have you done? Ya know what, piss off, you can spend the night. Have your fill of equipment and get out of my club."

With that, he knocked back the glass of wine he was drinking, proceeding to do the same with the bottle.

through the building."Let's just say I'm not the only one with nightmares. Take what you need and get out as soon as possible.

The group of 7, with Naruto once again joining them, walked into the weapons room, triggering what would be, if you were on the outside looking in, an epic gearing up montage.

Captain Boomerang wrapped a new belt of boomerang's around his chest.

Black Spider pulled on a new mask.

King Shark put in his set of teeth, 3 rows of serrated daggers adorning each jaw.

Killer Frost added some gloves to her costume, earning her an appreciative look from her semi aquatic counterpart.

Dead Shot made an easy decision between choosing non lethal rubber bullets and very lethal hollow points to load into his gauntlets.

Naruto... picked his extremely sharp teeth with his equally sharp nails.

The night went on rather uneventfully, at least from Naruto's perspective. Harley and Floyd fucked, Frost got some mission from Waller, yada yada yada, human struggles.

Though for some reason, Naruto felt a bit of jealousy arise when he realized Floyd was fucking Harley. Not that he wanted to do it, but-

Naruto grit his teeth, cursing being confined to the body of a child, which had the side effect of his mind reverting to a somewhat more childish state. One of the side effects of being a demon he guessed.

Naruto snorted at the thought, causing fire to flare out of his nostrils.

Aight so this next chapter I'm going to start building development between Naruto and Harley, I just couldn't figure out how to do it in this new configuration of the story.
