Justice League One Shot. Scaring The Batman.
Batman had just returned from one of his nightly patrols. It was dark and rainy outside.
Robin was off with The Justice League. They decided to go see a horror movie. Yes, really late at night.
They had invited Batman, but he refused. His work in Gotham was far more important than seeing a horror movie.
It was Flash's idea anyways. He allowed Robin to go, knowing that he would be needed in help tonight since It was raining in Gotham.
He walked up to his computer and started typing in some info he knew. He pressed a button that called his loyal butler Alfred down.
After a few minutes there was no response and that worried Batman greatly. Alfred was like a father to him. Alfred practically raised him.
Batman hit a button and the screen on the computer went dark. He turned on his heel and made his way out of the Bat Cave and into the Wayne Manor.
He called out for Alfred, still no reply. " Alfred where are you?" He shouted.
Still no response. He searched the manor room by room. Not a sign of him.
A device beeped in one of the pouches on his belt. It was a communicator the Justice League gave him.
He pressed the button. " Batman here."
" Help, the Watchtower is under attack. Not from the outside. Something got it. It's taking us down one by one. We can't see it. ARGH!!" Cried Wonder Woman and all that was heard left was static.
A slight panic started to ball up in his chest. " Diana. Are you there? DIANA!!" he waited a few seconds.
This was bad. He ran back to the Bat Cave. First his butler goes missing. Now the Watchtower is under attack by a unknown foe. What next?
He quickly got to his Bat Wing which was made like a Javelin. Able to withstand the pressure of space.
He got it and took off out of the Bat Cave and into the sky, headed straight for the Watchtower.
He got there in no time. He jumped out. Everything was solid black. He reached for his Celt with both hands. One hand grabbed a small flash light, the other a Bata-rang.
He shunned the light around the landing bay. Nothing. Not a person or unconscious body in sight.
Batman started walking cautiously toward the door to enter into the halls of the Watchtower. Since he designed this place, he knew it inside out.
As the door opened he shinned the light in. Again, not a body in sight. Strange.
He walked a bit faster. Ready for anything that could come his way.
He searched a few halls before coming to a stop at the doors to the Justice League Cafeteria.
The door opened. He walked in, he made it to the middle of the room and looked around.
Then a crash was heard. He flipped around and his light shinned on a broke plate.
He started to look around again when something he couldn't see zoomed by and snatched his flash slight from him.
Then whatever it was came back and shoved him to the side, causing him to fall and land by the crushed plate. However, his hand landed on the glass and some lodged into his skin.
He slightly winced. " Great." He muttered quietly.
He stood back up. Then one light started flickering and underneath that light, it it's little beam, sat a toy doll.
That confused him a bit, also it was pretty creepy. Then they eyes glowed red.
" Batman, run." It's scratchy voice rasped out.
A hand moved slowly out as if it were a puppet on strings.
" Run, run before you end up like me." It breathed in like it couldn't breath.
" What?" Whispered Batman.
" RUN!! RUN!!! " suddenly the doll flow at him and he just barely dodged it.
It stuck out hand had scraped his cheek with what appeared to be razor sharp claws.
Three scratches stung his cheek and he could feel the warm sticky blood slowly roll down his cheek from the wounds.
He looked too see the glowing red eyes. It kept flying at him and he kept dodging it.
Finally he decided it was best to flee the room. He did and only mere seconds after the door was shut the doll slammed into it.
" You won't escape. You're going the wrong way. You'll soon be like us." It started laughing and coughing. It's face pressed to the glass. Only a dark shadow outline to him.
He backed away. He was bit rattled now. Not what he was expecting at all. Batman turned and started to walk down the hall.
As he walked by rooms, the doors were open, but no one was inside them. This was strange. How could the entire Justice League, plus his butler go missing without even a trace?
There was no evidence to prove there had been a struggle. Nothing beside a creepy doll that spoke.
The blood was slowly dripping down his face onto the neck of his cowl. Soaking the fabric.
What was wrong with the doll could only be done by magic, it couldn't be Zatana. Maybe Circe. Man this was all so confusing.
Even for the Batman. Batman then stopped by a room with a light on. There like in the room under a light, stood another doll. Only this time. This one was made to look like Robin.
It's head looked up at him. " Batman, why didn't you dave me Batman? Where were you?" It even had Robin's voice.
Oh that was so creepy. " I-I don't... What?" Says Batman. For once he was speechless. Unable to speak for he had no idea what to say.
It started coming closer. " Batman, why didn't you dave me, save Alfred. You could have gotten there in time, but you didn't. You abandoned us. You must pay with you're life. " it shot forward and Batman dodged it just barely like last time.
It's claws cut into the skin of his calf. Stinging pain spread through his leg.
Crap, those claws hurt. He took off running. It was the first thing he thought of. He ran straight to the monitor room.
Still no one. He shut the doors behind him. He was pretty freaked out.
This was crazy. It was actually scaring Batman and normally nothing can scare Batman.
He had to see what was on the security feed. He ran over and his finger started typing fast.
Seconds later electro shocks happen. Pain spread up his arms and a cry of pain left his mouth before he could stop it.
He backed away. The screens changed and faces of the Justice League appeared. On each screen it was as if one member was trapped in the screen.
Like literally in the screen. If people could see under the cowl, they would see how seriously freaked out Batman really was by the panicked expression that had taken over his face.
His eyes, if not for the cowl, would be bulging out of there sockets. Then they started talking. " Batman. Why didn't you save us? Why didn't you come quicker?"
They kept saying that over and over. Batman turned around and suddenly those two dolls were there.
" Join us. You're dead anyway." They said.
Now he was actually really scared now. Then something opened underneath him and he fell through.
He landed on his feet in a solid dark room. Lights flickered and there they were. Zombie versions of the other Justice League founders.
Silently they stretched out their right arms. Roared and zoomed forward. He put his arms up to protect his face. The disappeared before they reached him.
He slowly lowered his arms again, only for Robin to be standing there. His head hanging limp and the neck bone looking as if it had broke.
" You could have prevented this. Why didn't you? Why didn't you help me? I'm you're son. Where were you?" He started walking forward.
Batman backed up. " B-but I didn't... I.." Says Batman.
Then Wonder Woman was there. Hey back bent in an awkward angle. She looked dead.
" I called you for help. Where were you. You could have saved me. " they started walking forward.
He backed up more. He got ready to throw his Bata-rang. Then they zoomed forward.
Just before they got to him, arms wrapped around him. " BOO!!" Screamed the voice.
Batman then did the most unlikely thing. He screamed in fear. Everything was gone and the lights turned on.
Only the arms around him never went away. He was breathing heavy. " Gotcha. " says Wonder Woman.
Laughter was heard and everyone showed up in a small portal like thing. Batman had dropped his weapon.
" Ha ha we got you good Bats." Says Flash.
Batman looked angry now. " Robin said we wouldn't be able to scare you with something close to a horror movie. We proved him wrong. We also got Alfred's help." Says Superman. Alfred and Robin stood there grinning at him.
" You're seriously going to pay for this." Snapped Batman.
Wonder Woman giggled. " True, but it was still fun to rattle you're cage a little. " she says.
Batman growled. She laughed. " Oh lighten up. " she then saw the blood on his cheek. His hand and calf were still injured as well from the glass and claws. " Zatana. You said those claws wouldn't really hurt him. "
" They weren't supposed to. I guess I got that one wrong. Sorry. Let's go get those scratches treated. " says Zatana.
Batman nodded. " Can I carry you?" Asks Wonder Woman grinning.
Batman opened his mouth to spout off something mean when suddenly her lips were on his.
Batman's eyes as well as everyone else's went wide in shock. She backed away before he could kiss back. Then she picked him up.
She flew off to the infirmary to get her bat treated. " Sorry by the way, just having a little fun." She says to make him happy.
His only response was to kiss her cheek. She grinned and just continued to make her way to the infirmary.
Tonight had been an awesome night for them and a scary night for Batman.
So it was all around a good night when it ends in a kiss.
