Sigh.

It looks like another Crisis is coming. I just got over the last one. How do I know you may ask? Well first I saw this on my television.

Nothing that horrible can be on television with out it being some portent of the end of days.

And second I found this in the Batcave.


Batmen, Robins, Batgirls Batwomen, Catwomen, and others from the past, or other Universes. ( I'm kind of wondering about the Universe that Giant Batman In the back is from.)

Then this made me think for more than a year now I've been accused of having some kind of obsession with Vampirella. Though I would admit she is attractive, I don't really trust meta humans. Especially blood sucking alien ones.

I just thought this was some kind of impersonator. But what if it's me, but from another reality. I don't like the implications. HHH. Looks Like I have to track this person down , and if he's from another reality put him back there.

Right after I do that to everyone in the cave. This could take a while.

You know I don't want to know

I had spent all night fighting Mr. Freeze and stopping his giant ice ray. So when I return home I didn't exactly expect Supergirl to slam into the Batmobile at high speed. Whatever it was that did this was strong since she just slumped on the ground, and passed out. We're talking Superman level power.

When I return to the Batcave, I find it in disarray. Holes smashed evrey where. Saiyans Laying in my broken trophy cases. my Giant Penny dented and the dinosaur's head knocked off. And worst of all Vegeta running around in his under wear.

Now I've seen many disgusting things over the years, but that takes the cake. I also see the Lazarus Pit I keep in the cave was opened up and glowing like it was used.


But you know what? I really don't want to know what's been going on If Batgirl decided to have a wild party or what I'm too tired to deal with it. I shake my head go up the stairs find a giant hole in my wall.

And across the hall moaning in my bathtub bleeding from his mouth Superman's clone Kon-El. (Okay. That's not so bad I never really did like that kid. Especially his his annoying habit of sleeping with my female charges. )


Like I said before I'm too tired to actually deal with whatever happened here. But I do know one thing. Dr. Briefs should expect a bill for repairs to mansion soon.

Me vs Batgirl.

Kool-Aid had drugged Spoiler, and Batgirl with his evil drink. He set them both to attack me. Stephanie tossed some of the new devices Dr. Briefs had supplied her. I dodge them, not knowing what they are.

All capture tech. Some kind of glue, or restraints and other things. Worse Batgirl charged me only using her skills she rarely uses Batarangs unless she is fighting a Meta human.


I push a button on my belt and her utility belt falls apart, and Pepper spray is sprayed in her eyes . Cassandra had never considered the fact that I would gimmick her mask. Nightwing has said for years I needed to trust people more than I had.

Kind of hard when everyone I know gets mind controlled at least once a month. Batgirl tore the lenses off her mask. And she she was busy Washing her eyes out Stephanie was was too concerned with her friend to realize until It was too late that I was going for her belt.

It looked like Bulma had deactivated any fail safes I had in hers. So I took the distraction. She tried to fight me with her martial arts knowledge, Spoiler was never the most gifted student I've had. I was able to restrain her fairly quickly I leave her tied up until the drink wears off.


Condiment King. Sprays mustard on me. I am not in the best of moods for his shenanigans. While he 's laughing at me I Knock him out with a shot to the jaw. Kool-aid Screams "We're going to beat you Oh yeah!" I toss A batrang at him breaking his glass container. To which he shots " Oh No!"

" Wait for it. " I say. Then the Batarang explodes destroying his containment vessel.


I take out a little device I had for this occasion. I've ran into Kool_aid before though he's more of Robin's enemy. A Vacuum that sucked the liquid into a bottle.

" Batman can we talk bout this? " The captured .. whatever he really is begged.

" No."

" Okay Batgirl Kill him!" She attacks me from behind . I hadn't though she would recover from the pepper spray so quickly.

" Batgirl! Stop this now!" I order.

" I have.. a new master now. " Stupid mind control drink. She can't have taken much of it so she should snap out of it. Soon Until then I 'll have to defend myself.




After quites some time of blocking her, and getting hit pretty hard, and having to hit her back pretty hard. We end up fight each other all over the city. She finally starts getting a little sluggish the first sign Kool-Aid's control is wearing off.


I pat her on the shoulder and she kicks me in the solar plexus here we go again. After defending my self some more. I calmy but firmly utter. " Cassandra control yourself. "

" Why don't you trust me?" She says in response.

" Huh?" Is all I have to say to that.

" With Vincent , why don't you... trust me.. and my um decision?"

So that's why she still wanted to fight? " Because you been only taught how to kill by your father. Not how to interact socially. "

" I can read.. Vincent pretty well..." She starts.


" You said the same thing about Kon-El." That gets a glare.

" And Like Kon this boy is a half alien as well. That and your not exactly used to these emotions. "

She shrugs " And .. when you were my age if Alfred.. had not let you train ... to become Batman?"

" Not the same thing, And I trusted you enough to have a city mostly to your self. "

That had Nightwing, and Robin in it." She shakes her head.

" Cassandra the kid is a born killer. "

She puts her hand out in a "stop" gesture. " Like me?"

" It's different he has a biological drive to fight constantly."

" He's a good person."

I can tell I'm not going to win this argument like all the arguments I had with Dick about Starfire, Maybe If I just leave it alone this infatuation will end. " Fine let's take Kool-Aid to S.T.A.R. Labs, and Condiment King to Arkham ,and you and Spoiler can go back to West City.

I forgot I left Stephanie tied to a lamppost. And just as i though when we get back there, she's complaining about her arms being stiff. Someone remind me why I though partners were a good idea again.

Attack of the worst criminals.

Cassandra had come to the Batcave for some reason crying. she ended up in this position on the cave floor.

She stayed like that for an hour, until we finally got that she and The half saiyan had broken up. I hated to say I told her so but I did. Maybe I shouldn't have given her the long speech . She ended up running out. Odd she's never acted like this before. Though Nightwing says it's just because she's growing up. Me I still think Deathstroke's serum damaged her brain.

I Visit her the next day ( I am so glad Someone installed the a two teleporter from the Cave to The house in West City.) And find the two had made up. Not surprising that's how it seemed to work when I was a teenager, but in my case, I had to leave the area after I started a relationship because I needed more training, or needed to obtain some kind of knowledge.


it didn't matter the business I had had nothing to do with the half alien boy. "Spoiler, Batgirl, I need you for a second. "

Spoiler saluted and went "Sir!" I forgot how annoying her sense of humor can be. Well at least it's not as bad as Kon-El's.

I ignore her. " Robin is off on a personal mission so I would like the two of you to patrol Gotham with me."

" Can I wear the Robin Costume again?" Stephanie smiles.


" No." I answer.

" But I looked cute in it!"



" Stephanie NO!"

She looks like I hit a puppy. " OK i see why you would want Cass to help but why me ?"

" Because I want to see how much your skills have improved. "

The next couple of nights were rather uneventful. We stopped a carjacking ring. intercepted a shipment the Penguin was trying to smuggle into Gotham Harbor. then we ended up fighting the Joker along with a self styled "Batwoman" And Renee Montoya who for some reason has taken to dressing like the Question.

I have to ask myself the though why can't they just keep the Joker in Arkham? It's getting to be a weekly occurrence that I have to put fight him again. Then tonight something strange happened we tracked down the culprits of several robberies, Turns out they were masterminded by Kool-aid

And the Condiment King.


I couldn't help my reaction to such a team up.

Kool-Aid was bragging about his plan. " Soon we will control the Gotham Under world Oh yeah!"


Spoiler Jumps out throwing these pellets that that exploded into some kind of adhesive around several henchman quipping " Macho Man called he wants his catchphrase back!"

Sigh so much for the element of surprise. I have to admit after the last few weeks of fighting Skrulls Saiyans, and other assorted super powered menaces. It's kind of nice to fight henchman with stupid words on their shirts like "Tasty" and "Yummy." How much does the Henchman union pay these people to do this?

After beating them down, and making condiment King slip on the ketchup and mustard he squirted all over the place. I thought this case was pretty much wrapped up until Kool-Aid starts laughing. " Batman I forced your side kicks to drink my Kool-aid! Now they are under my control! Kill him girls!"

" Yes Master," They say in unison. This is just perfect. I think to my self sarcastically
