Chapter 164 - [AT] Two Face’s Thugs…

[After Transition]

"SHUT UP! That ain't enough to take out the Bat, somethings up. By now he would've taken out half of you guys already but he hasn't made a single move, he is up to something and we ain't gonna let him do it so easily. Grab some of the hostages and point your gun at their heads, let's see if he'll do anything when we got some bozos at gun point." Heeding his orders his thugs turn around to grab some of the hostages but they don't move from there spots which pisses off Two Face since they aren't following his orders, he himself also turns around. "What the fuċks taking you guys so goddamn long? Just picky up a couple body shields and hold them in front of yourselves, it's not fuċkɨnġ hard to d-. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE HOSTAGES!?" Two Face's two faced face twist into a grimace of anger when he turns around to see the corner that was previously filled with hostages empty with nary a sight of a single hostage which immediately angers him while his thugs all look around awkwardly knowing that they would be getting in trouble for this but this means that I'm free to act properly with the hostages gone, with the kids away its time for daddy to play or rather, with the hostages away it's time for me to start busting head together and I'm not gonna be gentle.

Before any of them can react and before Two Face can recover from the fact that his hostages have escaped I quickly lob a few knockout grenades into the middle of the hall where they promptly go off and start to affect all the men on the ground floor with half of them passing out cold on the floor but it seems like those guys where rookies since the rest of them seemed to understand what was happening and covered there mouths and noses to stop themselves breathing in the knockout gas and this group included Two Face who covered his mouth and nose with one arm while wildly turning and waving his other gun toting arm in all directions trying to spot me but I don't let him have the chance, aside from the gas being able to knock people out it was also pretty thick creating a nice blankety for me to jump down into without letting a single sound out even from my landing and from there I began to run around picking off the guys who were furthest away from Two Face getting rid of the weakest links first since they were the ones who would be the most trigger happy seeing as they are alone and panicked while the others are close together and I don't want to worry about these guys firing in a panic and killing each other because that would reflect badly on me when Batman inevitably requests a battle reports and so I quickly dart around the edges of the room picking of those that are alone and slowly work my way inside but they that time the others have figured out their game plan. "Alright keep an eye out for the fuċker, and fire at anyone you see. I don't give a shit if you see a fuċkɨnġ kid or a fuċkɨnġ dog, if you see something moving shoot at it and don't fuċkɨnġ stop, we're taking this bastard down now!" .

With the smoke still hot he couldn't see me clearly as I was stalking through the smoke while watching them thankful that my mask had a filter built in and so didn't have to worry about inhaling any of the knockout gas but that doesn't matter since right no Two Face has gathered to henchmen close to him and they've all back up against each other forming a crude circle in which they continued to look around trying to spot me without leaving any blank spots as well as leaving no room for me to get closer to them without them noticing and firing on me and so I decided it was enough subterfuge and cautiousness and it was as now the time for proper action since I've already been as cautious and careful as possible to take out as many thugs as I can and rescue all of the hostages with minimal danger for them and for me myself but I've clearly hit the limit and it's time for some plain old brutality, reaching out my hand I fire my rappel straight towards them titling anymore stealth and the hook shoots straight forward going straight through the makeshift circle they'd formed by passing just next to a thugs head and coming out the other side and hooking onto the gun of one of the thugs on the other side and immediately afterwards I retracted my grapple pulling the gun towards me along with the gunman attached to it pulling him back into his fellow henchmen and tripping them all up breaking up their formation as the gun leaves his grasp and comes flying toward me but by that time I've unhooked my grapple from it letting it fly across the room on its own as the grapple shoots back into its place on my wrist and while some of the thugs got confused and tripped up there were others who took advantage of this mishap and used it to help them battle me. "HE'S OVER IN THAT DIRECTION BOYS, START FIRING. DO NOT LET UP UNTIL EITHER THE BASTARDS DEAD OR YOU RUN OUT OF BULLETS, OTHERWISE YOU'RE GONNA BE DEAD SO KEEP FUCKING FIRING!"

With my actions letting them know my direction and where I was they began to fire toward me even if they weren't sure of my exact position as the goons on the floor tried their Ramsey's to get back up but it was taking them awhile which I was grateful for as a lot of bullets we're getting quite close to me as I ran straight towards the gathering of criminals using my enhanced reflexes and responses as well as using my spider sense occasionally when edger I was dangerously close to getting shit but even then I didn't stay idle as I ran towards the group of gunmen as I continuously reached behind me into my utility belt and pulled out handfuls of Batarangs which I launched forwards towards them as I ran hitting the gun in their hands and knocking out the weapons from their hands though I couldn't manage to get all of them so quite a few still had theirs gun on them when I finally reached them, that was fine though since I was now directly facing them and in close quarters so it didn't matter if a few of them had their guns since they wouldn't be able to use them and they knew that as they holstered their weapons and instead pulled out a variety of melee weapons such as bats and crowbars and began to swing them towards me trying not to clip each other but clearly not trying all that much since I dodged and evaded all of their attacks with such ease that I nearly thought that they were all moving in slow motion but it was clear that all of my groaning and skill derived from Batman had an amplifying affect on my senses and reflexes so I was easily able to run circles around them allowing them to hit each other as I gracefully swerved among them punching and kicking where I could which would immediately knock them down where a swift kick would knock them out if they weren't already knocked out.

I moved with a swiftness and grace that surprised even myself since I was so used to getting my ȧss kicked by Batman and just bȧrėly hanging on against Barbara's and Dick when we sparred that I was shocked when I saw just how much I'd improved in the last three months since I was taking care of these thugs with such ease and speed that I could nearly compare myself to Daredevil the one time I saw him fight back in there Marvel universe and while I might not have his skill and experience my enhanced senses and reflexes bridged some of the gaps between us at least until I catches up my own skill and technique to match and even surpass his at which point these guys wouldn't even be a challenge but for the moment while I might be handling these guys with ease it still took a bit of effort and concentration to not mess up and take a knife to the ribs and so I continued to fight them using a swift chop to the neck to knock some down while at other times I would end up having to give a blunt kick or punch for the back of the head to really give the brain a nice jumble and put them down, shortly afterwards all of the thugs were down in the ground and knocked out but it was also at this point that I noticed one man dressed in a black and white three piece suit just like the others running towards the front exit but what made this guy different was the fact half his face was burnt off and he goes by the moniker of Two Face and he was currently running to the front door to leave thinking that the Batman was after him which I can understand since the smoke was pretty thick and I was a figure dressed in all black with bat horns so he must've seen my figure in the smoke and ȧssumed it was Batman which was why he ran when he noticed all of his men were getting decimated and so I quickly gave chase to the man who did a lot of crime and I wasn't about to leave him out of my sight when I've just finished mopping up his crew and he was the cherry on top which I was not going to let get away.

Giving chase whilst still in the smoke Two Face obviously notices my actions when he turns around to look behind him and begins to fire back towards me with his two silver pistols which I dodge pretty easily since he's firing at me from such a length away that it's easy to dodge the bullets since it took a while to actuality arrive, Two Face finally reaches the front entrance with me right on his tail but he goes out through the doors before I can reach him but I can rest ȧssure since last I checked there was a police cordon outside with a dozen cops parked in this place ready and waiting for him so it should be easy picking from her and so thinking that I ripped through the front door and straight out of the bank and into the outside world but what I find isn't very nice, not very nice at all…
