A week later that night...

Bruce: Thanks for coming, you two.

?: It's no problem, we've kinda been for a reason to get out of Happy Harbor

?: And to finally be alone.

?: Really? In front of Batman?

Todd: Damn, Bruce was right, you guys really don't have any kind of shame, do you?

?: Is Mr. Pill Helmet really talking smack?

Dick: HA!!!!

Todd: SHUT UP!!!!

?: Man, you're worse than Roy?

?: So, what's the deal, Bruce?

?: Who's the guy you want us to help you catch, Riddler?

Tim: No.

?: Penguin.

Dick: Nope.

?/?: ...

The two looked at one another...

?: Two Face.

Damian: No.

?: Bane? It's gotta be Bane.

Dick: Not even him.

?: Oh! Pfft! Duh, it's the Joker, right?

Bruce: All except one, have been hospitalized.

?: What?

?: I keep telling you guys to show some restraint.

Todd: Fuck that.

Dick: That's the thing, we're not the ones doing it.

?: ... I'm confused...

He then showed them pictures of Gotham's worst villains and Mobsters, beaten brutally and/or put in a coma and/or wheelchair...

?: O-Oh my God.

?: Yea... so what's the difference here?

Dick: We don't do that?

?: Oh, so I guess electrocuting them with Escrima Sticks, shooting them in the kneecaps and laughing about it, beating them with a steel bo staff or coming at them with a goddamn sword is normal, right?

Damian: 💢 I could come at you with this sword right now.

?: And I can give Superman reasons on why his son shouldn't see his best friend.

Damian gritted his teeth at that - he hated being outplayed like that.

The woman nudged her lover and said...

?: Come on, ease up. So, who did this?

He pulled up the picture of Scream...

?: ...

?: ...

?: ... Heh.

?: Bruce-

Bruce: I am not joking.

?: Wait, there's a guy running around Gotham dressed as a Halloween character beating on villains?

Duke: Yes, and no one knows who he is.

Todd: We've tried to pinpoint his location or have tried to catch him but he's too fast.

Dick: It's darn near like were chasing after Deathstroke.

?: How come we haven't heard of him?

Bruce: Because you two don't live in Gotham.

?: Hm, and you want us to help you catch him?
