:::Gotham City-9:45…:::

(The weightlessness of flying is one of the simplest pleasures in life to feel as though you are on top off the world no weight on your shoulders, feeling the cold breeze on your face, it is its own little slice of heaven in its own right, and it is one of my own personal pleasures….and then there is the fights, delivering cold hard justice to those who rightfully deserve it, feeling the adrenalin of fighting for your life, to feel your fist collide with the face of some two bit thug, the fear in his eyes, the power of it all…..it can go to your head if you let it, you can get enveloped in this life, it is addictive…..) thinks Hannah to herself as she swings from rooftop to rooftop

:She is eager and strong in spirit, she is also quite versatile in fighting, she is a fine fighter and a damn good hero, I am happy to have her as a sidekick yet she is quite headstrong and her penchant for violent beatings is manageable it is quite noticeably unacceptable, I will have to chastise her for her actions later, I just….I don't want another Jason Todd on my hands….not after all I have been through, I can't have that…I won't have that…..: thinks Batman to himself as he swings alongside Hannah/Nightbird

Suddenly a loud explosion is heard followed by several gunshots and then loud maniacal laughter…

Batman and Nightbird then jump down on the ground near the explosions and gunshots when suddenly ten men dressed as clowns come out and ambush, Batman and Nightbird surrounding them

"You take five of them and I will take the other five" says Batman stoically as he begins punching and kicking the Joker's goons

Nightbird then walks over to another set of the Joker's goons and lands a roundhouse kick in one of the goons face before using his shoulders to backflip into the air and kick another thug in the chest, she then grabs another goon by his arm and twists it breaking his arm before throwing him on the ground and knocking him out, she then jumps in the air kicking two goons in the face with both of her legs while punching another two goons in the face, Nightbird then looks around and smirks at the damage she has caused and then she walks over to Batman who just now finishes knocking out his last guy

"Are you done yet?" says Nightbird sarcastically yet cockily with a smirk on his face

Batman just smirks back at Nightbird before shooting yet another grappling hook and goes to the roof of the bank

Nightbird sighs before finally shooting her grappling hook into the air and landing on the roof of the bank as well

Batman then pulls the cover to the ventilation shaft and crawls into it.

Nightbird then crawls behind into the ventilation shaft along with Batman, both crawl down the shaft to see two different directions in sight,

So Batman takes one of the other directions, while Nightbird takes the other direction

As Nightbird crawls through the shaft she begins to peer through the cracks in the air way, seeing some men in clown masks bantering back and forth while holding AK47s in their hands

"So what does the boss intend to do with all this money?" asks one of the Joker's goons

"What do you think he is going to do with it, idiot, he is going to use it to kill the Bat, obviously" replies the other goon

Nightbird meanwhile opens up the air way quietly before exiting the ventilation shaft and silently land on her feet, she then steps closer to the goons who continue to banter

"What about one of his pesky sidekicks? I dunno maybe that's what we're here for, dumbass" says one of the goons to the other

"Man shut the fuck up!" says another goon as he punches the other goon in the arm

Nightbird then sneaks up to the goons and slams their heads together, knocking both of them out

Two other goons run in wondering about the commotion

"Hey Marky, Joey the hell is goin' on in here" says the goon bursting into the office room

Nightbird then leaps into the air, before doing a flip in the air, and kicking one of the goons in the face, knocking him out

"What the hell you crazy bit….." says the other goon suddenly getting cut off by Nightbird elbowing him in the face, knocking him out as well

Nightbird then walks out of the office and spots two other goons, whom she then runs at them

"Holy shit, it's one of the Batman's little sidekicks!" says the goon in a shocked tone before raising his gun

Nightbird then kicks one of the goons in the face, while punching the other, knocking both of them out at once

"Two pains in the ass for the price of one" says Nightbird jokingly with a smirk

She then approaches the vault of the bank, making sure to be extra quiet, she then hears the voices from inside the vault

"Dammit Harley help me, carry these bags will you!" screams out The Joker angrily with a grimace

"Ye…..Yes Mista J" says Harley shakily as Joker hands her two bags full of money

"Finally, you are being useful, for once in your miserable life" says Joker with a grimace

"And here carry a damn gun will you, or are you too stupid to be trusted with one" snarls The Joker angrily as he hands Harley a gun

"N….N…N…No Mista J, it's no problem" says Harley in a still shaky manner

Harley begins walking out of the vault, struggling to walk while trying to carry the bags and the gun at the same time

"C'mon you miserable sow, stop being useless and move your lazy ass" says The Joker angrily as he kicks Harley in the butt

Harley nearly falls over, but manages to keep herself standing, causing The Joker to burst out laughing

"Oh I so can't wait to kick this guy's pale skinny white ass" thinks Nightbird to herself as she waits for them to exit the vault

Batman then shows up behind The Joker and Harley, and manages to land a kick to The Joker's back causing him to fall over

"Puddin!" screams out Harley as she drops the bags of money and lifts up her gun

Nightbird then walks up to Harley and slides her leg underneath Harley, causing her to trip

"What the….." says Harley as she falls to the ground

Nightbird then picks up Harley's gun and takes it apart, in mere seconds

"Now stay down, I wouldn't want to have to hurt you" says Nightbird stoically yet sweetly

"I wouldn't worry about me getting hurt, toots" says Harley as she jumps up from the floor

Harley then kicks Nightbird in the face, causing Nightbird to fall to the ground

"You on the other hand, that's a different story" says Harley as she tries to land her foot on Nightbird's head, only to have Nightbird move just in time

Nightbird then gets up off of the ground and grabs Harley's arm, before landing a blow to Harley's face, causing Harley to fall to the floor

Harley then gets up off of the floor and tries to kick Nightbird, only for Nightbird to grab her leg, and use her own legs to swipe under Harley's knocking her to the ground

Meanwhile The Joker tries to punch Batman, only for Batman to block it and punch Joker in the face

Joker then gets up off the ground and spits out some blood, before smiling and then trying to lifting his leg to try and kick Batman, only for Batman to grab his leg and kick him in the gut

Joker then falls to the ground in pain

"Give it up, Joker, you've already lost this fight" says Batman darkly as he approaches The Joker

"Very well then bats, if you want to fight how about we up the ante" says The Joker with a smile as he gets off the ground and pulls a gun out of the vest of his suit

The Joker then points the gun at Harley, before firing, and shooting Harley in the stomach

Harley then falls to the ground and passes out from the fall

"Harley!" screams out both Nightbird and Batman in unison

The Joker then pulls out some smoke bombs from his pocket and throws them both on the ground and in Batman's face, before running off

Nightbird then runs over to Harley and kneels down to inspect her wound

"It's okay!, I've got everything here!, just go get that son of a bitch" calls out Nightbird as she applies pressure to Harley's wound

Batman nods before running after The Joker

Nightbird then swoops Harley into her arms, bridal style and proceeds to carry her out of the bank

Nightbird runs with Harley in her arms as she exits the bank and heads for the alleyway, where the Batmobile is

Nightbird then opens the roof top of the Batmobile before putting Harley in the backseat and climbing into the backseat herself, Nightbird then closes the roof top

Nightbird resumes applying pressure to Harley's wound

"Just hang it there Harley" says Nightbird calmly as she strokes Harley's face tenderly

Several gunshots are heard in the air along with laughter followed by a loud boom of an explosion

All the while, Nightbird still tends to Harley's wound

"It's going to be alright, I promise you that" says Nightbird gently as she holds Harley's hand reassuringly

Suddenly the roof of the Batmobile opens as Batman climbs into the driver's seat and takes off, driving away from Gotham City and back to Wayne Manor

"What the hell happened back there?" asks Nightbird quizzically

"The Joker escaped" says Batman stoically yet angrily as he drives away

Police sirens are then heard in the background

"We will catch him, right now, we just need to get Harley some medical attention" says Nightbird stoically with a hint of worry in her voice

"That's where I am going" says Batman stoically as he drives down a wooden path and down a dirt road

Everybody then sits in silence, as Batman pulls into the Batcave

Batman then parks the Batmobile and opens the rooftop, as he exits the Batmobile

Nightbird then carries Harley out of the Batmobile, bridal style, and carries her to the medical station of the Batcave

Nightbird then lays Harley down on the gurney

Alfred then enters wearing a surgical mask and walks up to Harley, hooking up her IV and putting on her oxygen mask

"Don't worry, I will take care of Miss Harley, why don't you go rest Nightbird" says Alfred calmly as he begins performing surgery

"Okay I suppose I could" says Nightbird calmly as she walks away

(Tonight's going to be one damned long night) thinks Nightbird to herself as she walks away from the medical station
