The was grey as we jogged on the street towards Gotham. We decided to get a run in even though it was about twenty miles. Thalia had wanted to come and we let her partly because Annabeth wanted her there for her birthday celebration. We had called Bruce to meet us halfway. We had ran the ten when as promised a car pulled up beside us. Instead of the Limo or SUV Bruce usually had or even the GTR he sometimes drove an old mustang pulled up beside us.
"Someone call for a taxi?" Dick asked he was in the passenger seat and Barbara sat in the drivers.
Thalia looked weary she stepped partially in front of Annabeth it was obvious Barbara noticed. She raised an eyebrow and frowned. Annabeth noticed too she rolled her eyes and stepped back forward.
"I thought Bruce was coming" I said a little disappointed
"He had an unexpected meeting."
"Oh" I said
I know I should have been used to it by now but it was still disappointing when he had to go somewhere.
"Happy birthday" Dick said as we got in
"Thanks" Annabeth said "this is Thalia"
"Hey" Thalia nodded still looking weary.
"Well I'm Barbara. This is Dick"
I know what your thinking.
'Percy wouldn't it be a horrible idea to take three powerful demigods out of camp, two of which are children of the big three?'
To answer your question. Yes it is a horrible idea.
We cruised towards Gotham. The sky got darker. It sounded like Zeus was mad about something.
We stopped at Wayne manor.
"Gods Percy your house is huge" Thalia said
"Yeah it is"
"How many people do you even have working here?" She asked
"Hmmm let me see...." I paused "one...well except for the occasional odd job."
"Welcome home master Perseus" Alfred walked out.
"Percy" I said
We entered and saw two people talking. Bruce and...
"Dad?" Annabeth asked
"Hi Annabeth" he said
"What are you doing here?" She asked
"He's here on behalf of the university." Bruce cut in "the history and science departments have requested some sorts of things."
"I actually need a repair on some sorts of things" I said
"Er take them to the...basement" he said
"C'mon Thalia" Annabeth said "I want to show you the library"
"But-"
"C'mon"
Annabeth pulled Thalia towards the library and I went towards Bruce's study and into the BatCave.
It was silent down there. Nothing I walked over to the work table and put my bar down. I fiddled with it before I pulled the cover off. It was completely fried not something I could fix.
"Hahaha" I heard a laugh at the computer "hoo hoooo!"
I rushed up.
"You need to come down now!" I told Bruce.
"I'm sorry Fredrick I think this is urgent. Alfred show him out please" Bruce said
"I think something's wrong with the computers" I said
"Suit up just in case someone's hacked" he said
We both entered the cave with our suits on. The screen seemed okay. Then it flickered and flashed and a dark screen appeared.
All I could see was a silhouette of a face.
"Hello Batsy!" A voice said "would you like to play a game?"
A light flashed to reveal three people their heads under bags. The camera turned to a man. He wore a purple suit and had green hair. The worst part was his smile. It was a huge creepy grin. The worst part of that was a scars that spread from the end of his lips to his ears.
"Joker" Bruce growled
"Ha ha that's me!" He laughed "I have three people all of which I hear you care about."
He pulled off the masks one by one.
First was Dick in his nightwing suit. Out cold.
He pulled off the next Barbara wearing her usual suit. She was awake but gagged. The last one I was dreading they were smaller than the others and I saw a strand of blonde hair peaking out. Annabeth. She was in her usual suit to. She wasn't gagged and she was awake but wisely she kept her mouth shut. I looked closer and realized she had light scratches across her face much like the Jokers but not deep enough to be permanent.
"I'm giving you seventy-two hours to find and save each of them...day one....drum roll please...the newbie" he said "you might want to try the science convention"
A bang echoed though the room. Something flew in. A gun shot echoed and the Joker fell.
"Come retrieve your friends before I shoot them too." A voice said "state street"
