I'm guessing you need a refresher on recent events? After everything went down a while back, with Vannis and all, the GCD and GCPD coordinated to each take back half of the city. The GCD merged with the GCPD afterwards. The GCPD now has a new branch- The Runners, coordinated by Boxer, the GCD's old second in command. For a while, everything was quiet, with the exception of the Reclaimer going off the grid, until two days ago."
His expression became sombre. "Two days ago, the Joker set off seventeen bombs around Gotham City, flooding the city with his toxin and destroying Gotham General Hospital. He's in Arkham now, and everyone is trying to pick up the pieces. That's what I meant by Joker's attack."
He breathed deeply, calming himself, then sighed. "Any questions, Kryptonian?"
"You got me, though I don't know how you could did that."
And then he heard the explanation. Apparently, GCD and GCPD merged and became stronger and more in numbers, a lot of good things to go. However, then Joker set off seventeen bombs, around Gotham City. Flooding the city with his toxin and destroying hospital. Damages had been done and he's in Asylum now but it will be damned if it means city's safe.
"It's terrible, but acknowledged. Joker isn't exactly the sanest in crime department. Okay, so...what can I do to help?"
The Runner looked the Kryptonian up and down, then went to his radio. "Gordon, I've got a Mask offering his help. Get this- It's a Kryptonian."
"I'll be damned. Send him to the ruins of Gotham General. Who knows- He might even find survivors."
The Runner looked up at the Kryptonian. "You heard the man. After Gotham General was destroyed, a makeshift medical camp was set up around its ruins. They hold the same policy as the hospital did- They accept everyone, no questions asked. The old hospital was 15 stories tall, and there's a lot of people digging through its remains trying to find loved ones. Any chance you can help recover the bodies, give those families some closure?"

You wouldn't be joining the GCPD in any capacity- Do you know how much flak we'd get from the higher ups if we even considered hiring a Mask? Hell no." He shook his head. "Besides, did you think Red Robin was part of the GCPD? He's with Batman, not us. These teams are temporary alliances of Mask and my Runners that will be dissolved the moment their mission is complete. That was always the plan. Now, are you going to help us out or argue semantics all day?"
"I don't see where you're getting at with Arguing, I'd misheard and thought You'd want me to join, I Wasn't arguing with you. In anycase I'll join this alliance to help The Bat".
The Knight gestured his head towards the Assault File, "I'll take Assault". if Boxer gave The Knight the file, The Knight would take hold and inspect it, "I have to note, Boxer, you and Runner-5 set a better face for your Organization then the Runner you sent did".
Boxer handed him the file. When Knight mentioned the Runner he sent, he scowled. "Johnson lost three family members the night that the GCPD fell. He lost his wife and daughter two days ago in the Gotham General destruction. Everyone in Gotham has been through a hell of a lot, Knight, and I'd advise you to remember that."
Suddenly, just as Boxer finished his sentence, his radio came to life. This is Runner-Fifteen. I have eyes on a clown car at Seventh and Trainer, East Side. Six visible, estimated twenty plus, advise to call in the vests.
Boxer turned towards the map at the centre of the War Room. "Alright folks, we've got a Joker gang hideout at seven blocks north-east of Officer Jenson's recon point. Appears to be... An old warehouse on the docks. We move in five minutes. Knight! How many SWAT officers are you the equivalent of?"
