Robin's POV

Me and Batman arrive at the warehouse.

Batman: Alfred. We're at the warehouse. No sign of Catwoman's contact.

Robin: It's quiet.

Alfred: The sound of an ambush. Stay on guard.

Me and Batman jumps off the roof. We walk inside. We see lots of dead bodies.

Robin: Oh my god!

Batman: This wasn't a handoff— it was a massacre.

Alfred: How many?

Robin: We'd have to count the pieces.

Alfred: Good lord. Who could've done such a thing?

Batman: That's what we're going to find out.

Batman then calls Gordon.

Batman: Gordon. Eastside Docks, Warehouse 133.

We then walk over to the scratch marks. Batman uses his hand scanner.

Batman: Analyzing.

He finished.

Batman: It's a volatile chemical. Potential psycho-active nerve agent.

Robin: Vile stuff.

Alfred: Be very careful with that. Who knows what effects it may have.

Batman: Have the computer catalogue the compound for further analysis.

Alfred: As you wish.

We then see lots of guts on the floor.

Robin: Nothing left to bury.

Batman: Whatever exploded... did so with enough force to obliterate the person standing next to it.

He scans with his cowl.

Batman: But the chemicals themselves were inert, non-explosive.

Alfred: Well, it appears to have made a pretty big boom.

Batman: We'll see what we can piece back together.

We look at a body.

Robin: We've seen these outfits before. Same mercs that broke into City Hall.

We look at a container door.

Robin: The canister exploded, sending shrapnel right through the container door.

Alfred: For once, I'm glad you two arrived after the heist. Your guys armor would not have protected you against that.

We open the container door. We see a bullet hole.

Robin: Looks like a bullet started this.

Alfred: A normal bullet couldn't have caused that explosion.

Batman: Doesn't appear normal— the point of entry's melted.

We walk out of the container. We walk over to the burnt cop.

Robin: This man's been badly burned.

Batman: But... the damage seems to originate from inside his skull.

Robin: What did this?

Batman got his bullet extractor out. He sticks it in the cop's skull. He finds the bullet and extracts it.

Batman: Sensors say it's an incendiary round. Phosphorus residue.

Robin: This could have superheated the contents of the canister.
