“Hey, asshat!” It was then that Whitesnake swung in through the hole in the ceiling and landed next to Batgirl, hitting the ground and rolling up beside her before popping up, and pointing his rifle at the giant man. “With all the ruckus you’re making, it’s difficult to get any sleep. Jackass!”
[Helena] gave a nod of acknowledgment to the other heroes. “Batgirl. Optimus Prime. It’s a pleasure to join you.” Helena was trying her best to remain calm right now; she had to keep the mood light to keep herself from having a schizophrenic outburst. She ran to the other vigilantes’ side, turning to face their muscle man adversary.

YES!!! Babs did a high-five in her head. When Bane had gotten up, shrugging off the piano like it was nothing, the pit of her stomach fell. At that moment, she honestly felt it was all over for her. But now, with her armored friend beside her, her spirits had just received a 500 percent mega-boost!
They had Bane beat! And then from the doorway, an arrow came flying through, aimed straight at the behemoth’s back![Helena] gave a nod of acknowledgment to the other heroes. “Batgirl. Optimus Prime.

And now Huntress too! Of course, this was the trampy Huntress that wore a G-string for a costume but right this moment, she was a welcome sight, G-string and all! For the first time in this fight, Babs actually managed a smile.
And then…she was hit from behind. Totally blindsided, she went flailing straight into Bane, barely managing to hang onto the grapnel in her hand...

United States of Brainy wrote:“I’ll take the torches and THAT,” she told L.B., jabbing a finger at the XDM, not expecting the empty-headed twit to know what it was. Reaching into her Chanel backpack, she pulled out a bulging envelope, stuffed with one hundred dollar bills, four inches thick. Held it in her gloved hand. “It has a bad power compensator so I’m not paying full price for it,” she stated flat-out. She started pulling out bills but stopped short. “You know...” she began, “I waited two-fucking-hours for you to open yesterday! TWO HOURS! Like an idiot! I don’t care about your fucking personal problems, what I DO care about is that you open your fucking store on time so that your fucking customers aren’t standing outside like fucking idiots!” Normally, she would have left it at that but she couldn’t help herself. “What happened to your hand? Did you cut yourself? Looks really bad.” She gave the girl a phony look of concern. “Looks like glass. Was it glass?” she asked in an overly sweet, mocking tone of voice.

“Drop your weapon. After all, it would be rather unfortunate if I accidentally snapped this woman’s neck while trying to disarm you.”
“Good. Now, I will take my leave. And none of you with try to stop me. Or this Bat with die.”
"As for this comic... I understand it's very rare, but your in luck... if you would, ma'am, leave a name or some way of reaching you I can assure you that you'll be the first to know should I acquire any more."

Madison blinked a couple of times before the information sunk in. Harvey had to be playing a joke on them. “Funny. That’s, uh... real funny.” She said. It took her a few moments to realize Harvey was actually overjoyed by what they’d done. This was real. The detective turned and looked at Maggie with an equally bewildered expression before she spoke to her. “Sawyer, you’re... you’re the chief.” Madison's tone wasn’t disappointed at all, but proud.
And she was... head of both the Major Crimes Unit and the Homicide Department. Madison began chuckling giddily as she looked into her partner's face. Her father would have been so proud of her, promoted to such a high rank.
It took Madison only a few moments before the euphoria left her. She looked at Harvey with a more somber expression, “But, why?” Was all she asked the commissioner.
Cooper
The emotion of realizing what he’d done was just enough of an imbalance to allow something more sinister to take the dog over. The fact that he’d been the one to ruin all of the heroes' progress brought on that feeling of shame a dog would get from being called a 'bad boy'. Cooper had his tail tucked between his legs, ears down and shoulders slumped. He walked out of the house and onto the front lawn when his chest burst into agonizing pain.
Each pulse seemed to further the pain's spread, reaching from his center to his paws. Then, all at once, it stopped. When he opened his eyes again he was watching through a pair of foreign ones. A sinister smile crept onto his face, the voice in the back of his head finding use of Cooper's vocal chords.
“I'd say it’s about time we make sure I stay in control from now on.” He said, stretching out to get used to the body. “Wouldn’t you agree, Cooper?”
The dog laughed maliciously, then set out on the path Bane took. Lucky for him, the brute hadn’t gone too far. Cooper approached him and spoke, “Pardon me, but I’d like to offer you me services. I’ll do anything you ask as long as I can kill the boy Tim, the butler, and her.” He nodded at Batgirl, then looked back up at Bane.

“There’s a bonus too. I couldn’t help but notice the ‘car’ (more like a piece of crap but Lydia kept this to herself) parked in the alley. I take it that’s yours? I have an Audi Spyder convertible. Worth a hundred fifty thousand easy. Find all the issues I need and it’s yours. Do we have a deal?”
As for the issue of Miss Midnight already in her hands, she had no intention of letting it leave her hands ever again. She slapped the thick envelope of cash on the counter. Lydia was in too good a mood to dicker over price. And the woman standing in front of her was right. It was her shop. Lydia could respect that. “There’s $30,000 there. That should more than cover the comic and the other items. So, we good?”

Dick was quite literally hovering his finger over the button on his phone, preparing to purchase the ticket that would take him back to Bludhaven. It was pretty clear he wasn't welcome here, the disciples, and even Tim made that clear, and he'd managed to piss off Barbara of all people. But he hesitated, he didn't know why he did so. But it was long enough that the alarm flashed on his suit gauntlet. The Batcave wall was breached, and there were intruders.
He didn't waste any time, he was suited up and out the window in 40 seconds. Firing his grapple hook to the adjacent building and swinging up to it. It was too dangerous to roam the streets, GCPD had a vendetta on the whole lot of them and he didn't feel like entering police custody tonight. He streaked over the various streets and alleys. Taking comfort in the massive trees planted outside Wayne manor and the entrance to the cave, not that he needed to take the entrance. There was a massive gaping hole in the wall.
Dick approached the opening of the cave slowly, a split wingding resting in his right palm, and an escrima stick in his left. He saw the group of unknowns sitting around the cave, talking? Either they weren't the ones who caused the break in, or they were extremely confident. What really got him however, was the sight of one of them holding a broken Damian. One of his family, his brother.
He rushed in, "Get away from him! Now!" He was ready to knock all these guys flat if they tried anything.

Personal Freedom wrote:Rashida almost let her jaw drop... the original comment had been little more than a ruse to get a name so that she could coast her house later, but now it was a chance for much more. To think that moment's earlier she had been thinking over whether or not she could have dissolved Lydia's body in lime... not that she was plotting murder, but for reasons. Now, however, she had offered her a rather good deal, one that she wasn't so petty as to give up for personal reasons. She hadn't originally actually planned to acquire any more of these comics, but she'd be damned if she didn't go looking now. Certainly, it was not entirely outside of her power to acquire more comics... with time and maybe a few larcenies.
"If there is anything else, ma'am... or anything you'd like to acquire about feel free to enquire... I have sources."

Where have you been while a fucking hero killing maniac has been running about destroying us from the inside, huh? Where were you when this kid got tossed out of a fucking helicopter? Where were you when Tim was thrashed into a pulp? Where the hell were you when some asshole claiming to be the Batman killed the mayor? Where the hell were you, huh?” He regained his composure. “And now, Babs has been captured by Bane. And you’re gonna sit here, telling us to back off this kid like you have some sort of right to act like a protector of the damned! And if that wasn’t bad enough, the most dangerous man in all of ducking Gotham knows who the Batman is, knows where we all are, and can easily kill us. Can easily rip Gotham apart. While you sit here, playing a part you should have been fucking playing this whole time.” Caleb stared Dick down, his expression hidden behind his armor.

“He’s dead, Huntress. C'mon, let's just get going-“ she stopped short at the appearance of Dick.
Kitrina's eyes lit up and a smile filled her face. She took a few steps towards him. “Well, well.” The girl purred. “If it isn’t the Boy Wonder.” She looked Nightwing over, quite excited at his appearance. “How was your vacation?”

“Deal,” Cooper said firmly, though there was a small hint of doubt in his voice. Sure, he could kill the old man and Robin, but that would leave Batgirl. Any emotional anchors he had meant there would be a chance he’d be able to lose control, returning him to his loving, obedient state. He could only hope Bane would use her and be done with it. Who cares what would happen after that? He’d do what he had to help the man and leave once he served his purpose.
The dog padded alongside Bane, keeping his strides balanced. “I’ll need orders.” He stated. “Whatever you want me to do. From what I’ve seen there will be a better time to kill the two between their time in your prisons.” He stated. “Command me, I will not hesitate.”

Demon-Cooper lingered by the heroes for a minute or two, listening in on their conversation before he approached. This would be a good opportunity for him to take down one of his targets. “I need to save Alfred and Tim,” he said to the group urgently. “I know you think I messed up, and I did. You’ve got every right to be mad at me.”
He looked down at the floor as if ashamed again, then looked at them with determined eyes. “They cared for me when no one else did. Gave me a home, treated me like family. I’m not ready to lose that. Tell me where they are and I’ll get them back.”
One had to admit, for a demon in a mostly unfamiliar body, he was quite the good actor. For effect, he added a quick, “Please.”
