Marinette moves to Gotham when Bunnix warns that Lila will ruin her life if she stays in Paris, giving Hawk Moth the chance manipulate Marinette's emotions and akumatize her. But Marinette won't let that happen. She wins the Wayne Foundation full-ri...
Damian Wayne gripped the handle of his favorite katana. With his right hand, he gently rubbed the steel blade with a clean white cloth. Damian was diligent with caring for his weapons. A build-up of dirt, water, or oil could lead to the corrosion of the blade. And Damian would never allow that to happen.
It was better to remove the slightest sign of moisture on a regular basis than wait until the beginning stages of rust could set in.
The Justice League should have used the same strategy to deal with the newest threat to the world.
But no, they had allowed the forces of Savas Rossi the metahuman trafficker to grow and spread across the continents of the Earth. He was like rust: an expert at corrosing the minds of metahumans. It was difficult to physically break most metahumans...but Savas Rossi was more than capable of mentally destroying them.
The Justice League should have dealt with him when he was still just an Italian university professor with a deep hatred for metahumans.
"I've checked the security footage for the 4th time!" Jason Todd's fist hit the surface of the table that was set up beneath the monitor screens of the Batcomputer. "What am I even looking for?"
"Anything," Dick Grayson said as he stood behind Jason and looked over his shoulder.
"This is a waste of time," Jason growled. "The Justice League should be handling this, not us. We have other situations to deal with here in Gotham. The Joker escaped from freaking Arkham Asylum last night!"
"Bruce and the others are handling the Joker situation," said Dick. "We need to focus on our own task."
"But the Joker-"
"Jay-bird, I know that you hate that creepy clown, but you gotta calm down and let the others handle it."
"Damn green-haired clown-"
"Pause the footage!" Damian suddenly snapped. He set his katana on the table next to his chair and stared at the Batcomputer's wall monitor. "In the lower right corner of the screen, is that not the same man in a black trench coat that was seen speaking to one of the abducted metahumans in Italy?"
"Great job, Little D, I think you're on to something," said Dick. His hand gripped the top of the leather spinning chair which Jason sat in. "Jay, where's this security footage from?"
"Uhhh...France...Terminal 1 of the Paris airport."
"Haha! We've finally got a break in the case!" Dick pumped his fist into the air.
"It's about damn time," said Jason. "I'll text Tim this section of the footage and have him run a facial scan match. I'll pull up the other footage and see if we can track where this guy went."
"Wait a moment," said Damian. He stood up from his chair and drew closer to the screens. "What is THAT?"
"Wha-"
"At the top right corner, imbecile, zoom in."
Jason reluctantly followed Damian's blunt demand. He squinted at the tall glass windows of the Paris airport. His hands froze over the Batcomputer's keyboard. "Wtf is that?"
"Is that a man riding on a cloud of pigeons?" Dick's jaw dropped open in disbelief as he leaned closer to screen. "And who's that girl in the red and black polka dot suit behind him? Is she swinging around...on a yoyo?"
"Perhaps they are undocumented metahumans..." Damian mused.
"Even if they are metahumans, why haven't we known about this until now?" Dick asked. "Shouldn't something as strange as a pigeon-riding man and yoyo girl have gone viral on social media?"
"Reality doesn't revolve around the internet, Grayson." Damian rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, Grayson," Jason said, mocking the tone of Damian's voice. "Some of us don't have friends to spam us with weird videos."
Damian tossed his white katana cleaning cloth at the back of Jason's head.
"HEY-"
"And thank goodness for that." Damian snarled. "I get enough memes sent to me by Jon. And don't get me started on the things that you all post on the family group chat. Every time I unlock my phone, I feel like my brain is losing brain cells."
Jason tossed the cloth back to Damian and stuck out his tongue.
"Well, before I lose any more of my own brain cells," Dick interrupted their bickering before it could escalate into a full-on fight, "let's figure out how we're going to handle Mr. Black-Trench-Coat Guy."
"The solution is quite simple really," Damian said as he walked back towards the table which his katana laid on. "Do you not recall how often Brown, Thomas, and Cain have expressed their wish to visit France and see the 'romantic' City of Lights? Now is their chance. They have an opportunity to visit Paris, while also gathering information to help solve this case."
"Huh, that's not a bad idea, Little D," said Dick. "I'll ask them what they think about it, and talk to Bruce to see if he could arrange the flight tickets so that they could scope out this airport in Paris."
"Very well," Damian said with a quick nod of his head.
"No fair," Jason whined. "Why do they get to go on vacation to work on a case? Whenever you need my help with a case, I'm either sitting here at the bad computer and developing back problems, or getting bruises in the streets while beating up criminals at bars."
"Aww," said Dick, "you want to go to Paris with them, Jay?"
"Obviously. Do you have any idea how many authors were from Paris? Let me remind you of one of my favorite authors: Victor-freaking-Hugo."
"But if you go to Paris with them, then I don't think we'll have enough members on the team to take care of the Joker situation."
Jason paused for a moment. He gently scratched his chin while thinking about Dick's words.
Damian rolled his eyes at him.
"Errr- scratch that idea about me going to Paris," said Jason. "I'm staying right here in Gotham until the Joker gets put back in Arkham Asylum."
"Tt." Damian glanced at his reflection in the mirror-like surface of his katana blade.
He silently cursed Dick for speaking aloud and ruining the perfect chance to rid Jason from Gotham.
