Chapter 170 - [AT] Tag Teamed…

[After Transition]

With the situation at the bank over with I remain at a loss for what I am supposed to do now since I've completed my objective but I've still got a lot of energy and willpower plus I'm already in the costume so I might as well stay out late and make the most of it before I'm reprimanded when I get home and the best way to do that is to beat on a whole lot of ȧsshole criminals who can't complain that I broke they're bones since they are in the wrong and so I know what I'm to do but I'm still unsure about which direction I should head in because there are definitely different danger levels in different parts of Gotham though danger is never below orange in any given area of Gotham but it certainly gets more dangerous when you head into areas controlled by the different mobs like the Penguins mob or when you head into areas that are less fortunate but pretty much there's different sorts of crime in each area so I'm at a loss as to where to go (definitely staying out of the Jokerz territory, the mad bastards) since I've just started and I don't wanna chew off more than I can bite which I would be doing when heading into different super villain territories (note, avoid parks and botanical gardens since there might be a red headed ivy there), thinking calmly I realise that my best bet right now is to stick with someone with more experience and since there's no one around like that right now I'm going to have to find them and currently all three of my possible allies are dealing with Scarecrow and so I head off in the direction of where Batman, Robin and Batgirl are fighting against Dr Jonathan Crane and his fear toxins and I make sure to fight any crime. Can on my way using my enhanced hearing and the tech provided by Lucius Fox to search out any crime on my way and putting a stop to it and by the time I get there they all should e finished with Crane and I can hopefully join them kicking more buŧŧ if Batman doesn't send me back to the mansion.

I know it might seem a bit contradicting to head out and meet up with Batman and the gang who are in battle against Scarecrow who literally induced fear into people when I want to fight against crime with the least amount of danger to myself which is why I'm not going into Joker territory or anything but that's because I figure that by the time I get there they'll have already dealt with Scarecrow especially since I'll be stopping almost constantly on my way there to put down other crimes by lesser criminals on the way plus I'd rather be in the company of Batman whose fighting a super villain in Gotham than along by myself in Gotham fighting against criminals at least until I get some bearing in this business which is why I'm heading towards them plus Alfred knows I'm aware of their situation which I s why I want to deal with Two Face because they couldn't and it only stands to reason that someone like myself who is currently a superhero in training would go and try to lend aid to his mentor against their orders so I'll do that to add to the narrative plus it'll be cool to see how Batman handles one of his rogues in person and maybe I'll be able to pick something up when watching him fight seriously and not like when we are sparring where he's going easy on me, I continue to travel in the direction of Batman's fight against Scarecrow by traversing the rooftops with jumps and the occasional grapple and glide all the while stopping to prevent crimes such as two guys trying to stick up a convenience store, a man trying to corner a woman in an alley, an idiot trying to steal a parking meter, a group of guys cornering two women in an alley, a cat being tortured by some punks, guys gratifying and drawing dɨċks on a wall, vandalism and multiple other crimes ranging from some low brow stuff to crimes that will result in some serious time and it's like a never ending circus since the crimes are making themselves aware to me one after another and I begin to wonder if I'll ever manage to make it to Batman but before I know it I'm standing upon the rooftop of a building that's overlooking a warehouse by the docks and it's currently being surrounded by multiple police officers and ambulances that are just waiting near the entrance and I realise why since a moment later there are a few police officers dragging out what looks like some dock workers though they are a bit too bloody for that and they are immediately restrained tightly against some stretchers that have restraints on them and are loaded into the ambulance and other vehicles and I wonder why but I realise a second later when more police officers come out through the front entrance.

What I have noticed is that all of the police officers who have come out of the building are dressed in full riot gear and gas masks as opposed to the regular dressed officers and medics outside and it's clear why as unlike the other group of riot officers who came out dragging unconscious dock workers this group of riot police are only bringing out one dock worker but this time they are conscious but I don't know if that is the right word since they are acting wild screaming and trying to hit everyone around them but the group of five riot officers are holding him and trying to force him towards one of the groups of medics and officers who are waiting with a stretcher and restraints and I quickly deduce that all of the dock workers inside the warehouse have already been doused with fear toxin which makes them wild and unpredictable and so worried about whether the officers would be able to handle it I quickly jump off of the rooftop and glide across the street and I top of the warehouse perched just above the entrance to keep a closer eye on them and hopefully gain some insight into the situation inside since I ȧssumed that the incident would be over by now but it's still continuing for some reason, it seems I had no need to worry however since the five officers seem to be controlling the situation well enough and they were forcing the dock worker in heir grasp towards the stretcher and wanting to get this over with one of the nurses waiting with the stretcher moves closer with it towards them which seems to trigger the fear addled dock worker who must see something terrifying in place of the nurse since he freaks out and with surprising strength grows off the officers holding him and begins to run towards the shocked cowering nurse like an animal and it's all too sudden that I'm too late to react and just as I'm about to jump down I find myself stalling since the problem was solved when a meaty thump sounded out and the dockworker falls to the ground unconscious and standing above him is a particular plump detective in a black leather duster. "What the fuċk did I tell you ȧssholes? Can't you follow my simple instructions? Enter the ware house and proceed room by room preferably following in Batman's footsteps and collecting all of the people he's knocked out, if you come upon a room with Batman is in hang back and wait for him to clear it before entering and if you find a room with Crane inside then retreat a couple rooms and wait till Batman deals with him. The rest of us will stay out here and maintain the cordon around the warehouse to make sure none of these crazies get out and attack the 'good people' of Gotham while a select few of you dressed in riot gear and gas masks enter the warehouse proceeding with caution and detaining these miserable sacks slow and steady with Batman preferably doing all the hard work, if you meet one of these crazies inside and they are awake don't fuċkɨnġ grab them and drag them outside, you fuċkin knock them out and then drag them out."

"B-But Sir, these are civilians. Even if they have been affected by t-the fear toxin, they are still civilians, S-Sir." One of the cops who looks pretty young and green questions the man in charge which turns out to be a mistake since that gathers all of the man in charges attention onto him, Detective Harvey Bullock locks his gaze onto the green officer who trembles nervously under his stare as the detective slowly smokes his cigarette before writing forward and getting into the officers personal space and blowing a face full of smoke into his face. "Are you questioning my orders Officer Blake? Because it seems like you are, now I would much rather have the commish in charge but he was closer to the bank Two Face was robbing which means I was stuck in charge of this bullshit and I just got word that the bank robbery was foiled not fifteen minutes ago so the Commissioner will be here soon to take over but until then you will follow my orders to the fuċkɨnġ letter, understood? I don't give a fuċk if it was your fuċkɨnġ grandma in there, knock them out then drag them out, savvy?" The officer rapidly nods his head which seems to please Bulloc since he backs off and heads back to his station which is in the seat of his car listening to the radio while sitting with his door open and his legs hanging out but I find myself more baffled by the fact that I only stopped the bank robbery fifteen minutes ago because I encountered around thirty different crimes during my trip from the bank to here and to discover that that was only during thirty minutes makes me truly worried for the future of this city and it's people, quickly shaking my head I resolve myself to find Batman and discover the situation since this incident should've been finished by now yet there are still crazies running around and the Scarecrow has still not caught which must mean something is up.

Quickly sneaking across the top of the warehouse I begin to peer through every window I can to get a glimpse of the situation inside and while most rooms have knocked out dock workers inside them there are a few which still have some crazies running around and not wanting to disregard my duty in my new role I quickly jump into those rooms silently knocking out all of the crazies and taking them down which seems to work just fine though it's an effort to stay out of their line of sight since they are re jumpy and paranoid constantly looking around but I'd rather do it stealthily than alerting them which alerts others with the screams and maybe even Scarecrow himself and I don't want my presence here known so while it takes a bit of effort and skill I make sure to knock out each and every person I see that's been affected by the fear toxin preventing them from endangering others and clearing the path for the police to collect them and restrain them till they can get the help they need, clearing room by room making sure to travel between each using the top of the warehouse since that's seems to be the best avenue or not getting discovered I quickly clear out room after room of fear addled dock workers before I eventually make it to a room near the end of the warehouse where I finally done the people I was looking for but I'm heavily confused by the situation.

Why is Batman being tag teamed…
