As we neared the plant. I couldn't help but feel like dread was creeping up on me. Like I was running towards a trap, the jaws of the beast, the center of the void.
I don't know how to explain it. But, the feeling was unmistakable. The worst part was, that I didn't know why I was feeling like this. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
I had texted Dinah and Oliver letting them know I was working with Robin, just in case my feelings were some kind of premonition, and I needed backup.
"Here we are," Robin muttered, using a small computer to hack into the facility. "I'll get the blueprints, from there all we have to do it's turn the plant down, and capture the bad guys," he added, typing on my computer at unbelievable speeds.
I nodded, guarding his back. Playing the role of the muscle.
"Got it," Robin said, getting my attention. "Here's the power control of the facility. We take that off, and all of their plans are as good as gone," he explained, pointing in the blueprints where the power control room was.
"How do we get there?" I asked.
"This is the best route," Robin pointed, to a set of vents leading to the room. "It should allow us to reach the room without being detected."
I nodded, avoiding combat sounded like a good idea right now. We still had to assess the situation, before determining how to approach the next step, taking the bad guys down.
"Ok, then let's go," Robin nodded, putting his small computer back on his belt, as he ran towards where we would infiltrate the facility, with me following close behind.
------------------
Our best bet was to destroy whatever was jamming communications. And contact the league, playing the Joker's game on the defensive.
"We need to destroy whatever it's jamming our signal. Any idea where a device like that would be located?" I asked, gazing at Robin.
Robin nodded, opening the blueprints of the facility. "For optimal results, a radio jammer should be around these three rooms at the top," he said, pointing at the rooms.
"Then we need to take that down and contact the league," I replied, eyeing the blueprints for a moment to memorize the general layout of the facility for later navigation.
"Works for me," Robin nodded.

[The Joker POV]
If the kids expect to play against the Joker, they'd better be prepared to be dealt from the bottom of the deck!
In all honesty, this worked even better than I had imagined. Sure, I had wanted to dance with Batsy, one on one, just the two of us, and my guns, but he had stood me up. How rude.
Or so I had thought HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!
Batsy loved me so very very much, he had sent the juniors to play! How thoughtful of him, to think of my fun when he isn't around to play with me. That right there, it's the sign of a healthy relationship! Yep, siree!
Sure, they weren't Batsy, a minor inconvenience. But when Batsy gives you lemons, well you make lemonade.
"I thought we were going to try this on Batman," My newest partner, a friend of friends, my BFF, a brother from another mother, Scarecrow said, with a terrible frown on his face.
"Bag head, put that frown upside down! Sure, they aren't Batsy. But they will do for a test run. HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!" I laughed in utter delight.
"Mad bastard," Bag head, aka Scarecrow sighed, walking away.
How mean of him.
I'm not mad at all! I'm just differently sane!!
