บท 94: Chapter 94: Long Night
"Um, well, I'm sure, yeah... I even wanted to sew myself a Batman-style costume, but the female version..."
Barbara awkwardly spoke while adjusting her glasses.
"Oh, Barbara... you really wanted to put on a mask and go beat up criminals?"
Shinoa asked in her own tone.
"I don't have a friend, a genius engineer who can make me high-tech suits!"
Barbara retorted while crossing her arms.
"A fair point."
Shinoa nodded.
"So... how can I help?"
Barbara's gaze returned to me.
"You're going to risky places to be with your father anyway, right?"
My glance conveyed everything I needed to say.
"Then it's my duty to make sure you're protected..."
I took out a case from the ring containing nanobots.
"W-what, how did you do that? Is this compression technology or something?"
Barbara furrowed her brows.
"Put your hands in here."
I opened the case with special hand-sized holes.
"Barbara, I don't have much time. Do you trust a suspicious billionaire you met for the first time today?"
"Redhead, hurry up and let's go beat up some bad guys."
Shinoa couldn't hold back and shouted at her friend.
"Alright, alright... I hope this isn't one of those traps where your hands get chopped off?"
Shinoa asked aloud and shoved her hands into the case.
"Oh, what's this... It feels like something's crawling on me."
Shinoa said as she felt movement on her skin. The nanobots began to crawl onto her while forming a visible layer.
"My hands feel like they're underwater..."
The suit started to take shape in just ten seconds.
"Mmm..."
Shinoa stretched, circling around Barbara who was now examining her hands in the armor.
"You don't look very good..."
"Are those nanobots?"
Barbara asked.
"Yes."
"Cool... I didn't think anyone had already invented them. Although you also had a suit in the hospital... why aren't you wearing it?"
"That was because Anthony Luthor was in it, and anyone with half a brain will put two and two together."
I told her.
"Well, even so, you've shown that you have such technologies..."
Barbara expressed her thoughts.
"Yes, that's why our holograms have already contacted Harvey and offered LuthorCorp's help. How do you like the suit?"
"It fits perfectly, I don't even feel it... but it doesn't look great."
Barbara gave her assessment.
"Women... give them a high-tech suit, and they're still not satisfied with its appearance... Cortana, please change it to Batman-style customization."
I said aloud, and the nanobots began to quickly change under Cortana's control.
"Aren't you going to say anything to your dad before we leave?"
"..."
Barbara looked at her hands, then at her reflection in the window.
"No, everything will be fine, and he won't even notice."
"You're still a minor..."
I shook my head.
"We're heading to the mayor's..."
After my words, a loud explosion rang out and was heard throughout the city.
There, Bane came out and joined the Talons. He decided to finally break Batman.
He made some kind of deal with the Court of Owls at least that's how it looks from the outside.
We arrived at the mayor's when it was all over. The mayor was dead, his throat was slit... but I didn't really care.
We talked about different things, but the mafia had completely corrupted him.
"Oh my..."
I heard from Barbara.
"I'll go to the Court of Owls. I don't think they're expecting a visit, and you two go to Wayne Manor. There are several Talons and Bane there."
I told them.
"Mmm, is that the big guy who loves the steroid Venom?"
Shinoa remembered.
"Exactly. Barbara, listen to Shinoa, she's much more experienced."
I said that and jumped onto the roof of another building, then teleported to the hideout of the first victim.
...
[3rd POV]
There was silence between the two friends after Anthony left.
"Let's go to Wayne Manor, you heard what the Administrator-kun said."
Shinoa said, running to another rooftop to jump and leap to the next.
"It's still hard to believe I'm in some fancy suit, and everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly... why didn't you tell me earlier that you're a Night Huntress?"
Barbara asked somewhat offended.
"That's because I saw how you idolize Batman... It amused me especially when I do the same thing as him at night only better and keep up."
Shinoa continued to jump.
At first, Barbara found it hard to believe she could make leaps of tens of meters in this suit, but she was already convinced it was true.
"I'm still better in school."
Shinoa whispered.
"This is because I'm busy at night."
Shinoa replied with a smirk while leaping from one building to another.
Barbara understood what she meant that she was doing what she herself had dreamed of!
"Well, you're... a mischief. I'll show what I'm worth and do everything beautifully."
Barbara confidently said.
"Yeah, right..."
Shinoa said, but she was ready to back up her friend.
There were a lot of "hot" young headed people in her world who rushed into battle without thinking... they often such squads didn't live long.
They shouldn't be in such danger right now, but Shinoa wouldn't take it easy.
This new world was much more dangerous than her world, but she couldn't tell from the outside.
At this point, Barbara hadn't even worn the suit for an hour and didn't know her strengths and flaws.
She was just excited to show Shinoa and herself that she could be like Batman.
After ten minutes, they were running toward Wayne Manor.
There was something clearly on fire inside, and the left of the building was completely blown up as if a bomb had exploded there... maybe it was.
The hooting could still be heard, and people were flickering inside.
"The people in green masks serve the criminal Bane, and they're armed with automatic weapons."
Cortana's voice sounded in the helmets of Barbara and Shinoa.
"What? Who's saying this?"
Cortana was surprised.
"I'm Cortana, an assistant and navigator for you in this situation. The Manor has many traps that have already been used, and Mr. Wayne is still alive and able to fight such an enemy for this reason."
"Wayne? Fighting?"
Barbara didn't understand.
"He is Batman. Where do you think he gets those different gadgets, cars, and armor? It's very difficult to create these things without resources... if possible at all without magic."
Shinoa expressed her opinion.
"Bruce Wayne is Batman? This... wow, just wow..."
Barbara could only say that today was literally a day of discoveries.
"Wait, did you say magic?"
"Silly naive girl..."
Shinoa said it with the voice of someone "experienced" and who has seen it all.
"Let's go, or they'll kill him... First, let's deal with those in masks, and then with the Claw."
The appearance of the two "heroines" did not go unnoticed.
After all, they need to walk along the open road and climb over sufficiently high fence stakes to reach Wayne Manor.
"Who are they?"
One of the people in green masks asked, with a small container of green liquid on their back and pipes running to their arms and back.
"I don't know, but the boss said to shoot anyone who enters here."
He shrugged while aiming at one of the two figures.
However, the shot never came as a small ball flew into his head... It didn't kill him, but it knocked him out immediately.
"Don't stand still."
Shinoa said this to Barabara who froze under the barrel of the gun.
After those words, she came to her senses due to adrenaline and rushed at the enemy at full speed.
He was still in shock and looking at his "fallen" comrade.
Barbara just didn't consider that this suit gave her a lot of power... so she didn't react in time and stopped, knocked the guy down, and broke quite a few bones.
"Well, that'll do."
Shinoa shrugged.
Next, she attacked the approaching Talons and dealt with them quite quickly.
However, Barbara... even with enhanced strength and speed, she lacked practical experience, but she learned very quickly.
Barbara was stronger than Talons when she wore the suit, but they had experience before and found new ways to attack her.
It was all for nothing because she was protected by the armor.
You need help?"
Shinoa asked while leaning on the fence and watching Barbara jump from side to side and the Talons try to hit her with their blades.
"I... I'll handle it."
Then, the window on the third floor of the mansion broke, and a figure of a teenager in a green suit flew out of it.
He looked severely beaten, but he managed to shoot some kind of rope from a weapon into the window and cling to it... but he still painfully hit the mansion wall and tried to stop.
Then, a dark figure flew out of the window and was going to hit him hard enough to knock him out, but Shinoa stepped in and kicked the figure away while jumping a few meters up near the boy in green pants.
"Ha, a woman? Another parasite on society. Although I was ordered to kill only him and that old man, I'll kill you without fear of disobeying orders."
Talon shouted with obvious hatred towards women.
"Did your girl dump you? Is that why you're so angry?"
Shinoa asked when she landed near the guy who had just fallen out of the window.
"Be careful, he's strong,"
Robin said this while spitting blood on the ground.
"Shut your rotten mouth, bitch! You should be crawling at our feet at the very least!"
He wanted to attack Shinoa, but Barbara almost hit him from the side with difficulty.
"Women!"
This misogynist said, and with a very well-placed kick to the head, he knocked down Barbara.
"Hmm, your girlfriend probably ditched you... most likely because you have a small tool, right? But don't worry, that's not the end... but your personality is quite ugly, and maybe that was why your girlfriend left you... if she was with someone like you at all, a virgin."
Shinoa clearly mocked him, not considering him worthy of an opponent...
Shinoa's words show that it bothered him especially since he understood everything wasn't so simple.
After all, he wasn't a stupid idiot but rather a misogynist devoted to his beliefs and experience.
He understood that it would be tough with her.
"I'll handle this!"
Barbara tried to attack him again, but she received a punch to the face once again and even a direct blow to the jaw which wasn't covered.
Luckily, the nanobots under Cortana's control managed to react and reduce the damage to her.
However, Barbara's lip was split, and a thin stream of blood flowed from her nose.
"This is where you belong at my feet."
He smirked, and then his "sixth" sense sent him a warning, but he didn't have time to react, and Shinoa's fist met his head.
This close of a touch made the fist stronger, and he flew into a parked car and left a clear mark on his body.
"Next time, you should think before blindly attacking."
Shinoa decided to speak up while looking at Barbara and realized she had messed up.
Although it wasn't a big deal, she would have died a few times already if it weren't for the suit.
She was trying to show herself that she could handle it and she was also very idealistic at the time.
"Who are you?"
Robi asked who had previously thought about how to defeat the enemy.
He just took a break while unexpected potential allies distracted Talon, who played with him more than once while showing a clear difference in their abilities.
"We came to help..."
Shinoa's words were interrupted by the approaching enemies with weapons, who noticed the knocked-out members of their gang.
Apparently, Bane had enough people.
"We need to help Bruce... Batman!"
Robin exclaimed while remembering that his "foster father" was currently fighting a monster in human form.
He also remembered the recent explosion and that Alfred was nearby...
