"Alfred do you have anything yet?" Asked Bruce, it had been six months of nothing the Joker had gone to ground there was nothing leading to him.

"I have got something a large burst of electricity was pulled from Ace Chemicals." Said Alfred as he looked at Bruce.

"Alright I will check it out." Said Bruce as he walked over to his suit still felling Alfred's eyes on him. "What?"

"You should take the kid, you gave him a suit you might as well let him come with you." Said Alfred as he leaned back in his chair.

"I..." Bruce did not know what to say, the kid was ready but he really did not want him getting hurt.

"I am ready." Said Jason as he walked into the room when they started to talk. "And don't worry I know you will have my back."

Bruce looked at Jason and gave a yes head nod. Jason and Bruce quickly put on there suits and jumped on into the bat mobile. Lucius had made an emergency seat in case someone else had to drive if Bruce was in too much pain. But this time Bruce had Jason sit in it not having to ride on the small motorcycle he had.

They both headed off out of the water fall and onto the road behind Wayne Manor. They drove off into the depths of Gotham, it was still needing fixing but it was coming closer to Bruce's old feeling of home. Ace Chemicals had been abandoned after a large incident with some of the chemicals blowing a hole in the building. Bruce and Jason hopped out of the car and walked on into the building kicking the front door down.

"There is no one here?" Said Jason as he looked around seeing the hole place still abandon.

"There is something here for sure." Said Bruce as he looked around and found some sort of machine with green liquids being poured into something. "Get back to the car. NOW!" Yelled out Batman as a huge figure emerged from the green tubes.

Jason ran back to the bat mobile then was gone. Bruce stood his ground as a juiced up version of Bane stood in front of him.

"Do you like the new look? I think it suits me much better." Said Bane as he showed off his muscles.

"I think you should go back to where ever you crawled out of. I killed you and this time I will make sure that sticks." Said Batman as he got ready for a fight.

"I thought the Batman does not kill? Well, guess he does." Said Bane as he threw a few punches as Bruce ducked under them.

Bane stood at seven feet, and at least four hundred pounds. Batman ducked under Banes attacks and punched him in the gut but it looked as though Bane felt nothing. Bane smashed down as Bruce slid under his legs and kicked him in the back having Bane lose his balance, giving him a chance to take out one of the three new venom tubes. Batman jumped up and grabbed one of the tubes and broke it off landing in front of Bane.

"Is that the best you can do!" Yelled out Bane as he charged at Batman and picked him up.

Bane ran Batman through a few crates and them smashed him into the wall. Bane gave him a few punches into his gut. Bane then through him down having him fall over.

"This is your end Batman killed by Bane the strongest man on earth." Said Bane as he picked up Batman and heeled him up in the air, then smashed him down making a loud crack as he snapped Batman again.

"Leave him alone!" Yelled out Jason as he used his bow staff to hit Bane in the back have him change his target.

"Look here a new bat member to break." Said Bane as he walked over to Jason.

"Ru..n." Said Bruce before he fainted.

Jason was smaller than Bruce and faster giving Bane a harder time to catch him. Jason jumped around and dodged Banes attacks blocking a few witch slowed him down. Jason slipped under Bane and was able to pull one of the venom tubes out leaving only one.

"You idiot I am still stronger than you with only one." Said Bane as he turned around fast and picked up Jason by the neck.

"Rob...in." Said Batman as he got off of the ground and charged at Bane.

Batman jumped up and smashed his hand into Banes face knocking him back dropping Jason. Jason looked mad and jumped back onto his feet barely giving himself time to rest from almost dying.

"You will not hurt him!" Yelled out Batman as he smug his punches wild hitting Bane over and over.

Batman started to hit the skin off of Bane blood marking his fist as he landed one more strike knocking out Bane. Batman turned around to look at Jason but he was not there.

"BATMAN!" He heard Jason yell out as Batman was able to see him being pulled away by a man in a purple jump suit.

"Joker, please don't hurt him!" Yelled out Batman as he charged after Joker. 

When Batman caught up to the Joker it was not him only someone in a purple jump suit wearing a clown mask. Jason was tossed into a van and look at Batman as the car speed off. Batman had anger go through him as he slammed himself down to the ground.

"JASON!" Yelled out Bruce as he ripped off his mask and started to let out cry.

Batman was stayed there with out moving till Alfred walked in front of him and took him to his car.

"I lost the kid." Said Bruce as he hugged Alfred.

"I am sorry master Wayne." Said Alfred as he held Bruce.
