章節 33: Under the Airstream
{And that is why I can't think of you as Gar, it puts me in the mind frame that I'm talking to the silly original. From now on you are Logan, no one underestimates that name.} Robin thought.
{Well anyway, can you get with Arnie and have him park a heavy suspension truck or van on the other side of the park from this warehouse in a couple hours? I found something while I was looking around and want to get it out of here before we kick things off here.} I asked him.
{I'll send him a text, now tell me the plan.} He said with interest.
{Well, the only way out for all these people is up the ramp and that is past all the armed guards, so I need to double check that Biggis didn't set up any explosives as a last-ditch effort to keep your family away. After that I want to find a way up to you that you can follow me back with after dropping off some stuff with Arnie. Then we take out the 20 guards and Boss Biggis himself.} I summed up my plan.
{Now that I have the plan, let's think up every way it can go wrong and plan for that.} I added.
{Ok Arnie said give him an hour and he will be here.} Robin said.
{I will start looking for bombs then.} I said.
As I turned into a bat and flew out of the top of my tent, I started to fly along the walls looking for any bombs or anything strange. {So, your names Dick hu, and it must be a pretty dead giveaway the panic you showed with me saying it. Match that to the name Matt and there is only one possibility in Gotham. A rather fantastical tale that rings loud in Gotham even years later. A circus performer that was adopted by the famous billionaire Matt Wayne. "Rags to riches" with a tragedy, how many idiots have you had to listen to that said they would gladly lose their parent to be adopted by him.} I thought to him as I flew around finding nothing on the walls or ceiling yet.
{I have no idea what you're talking about. The story is familiar but has nothing to do with me. Idiots that take their parents for granted are just that, Idiots.} Robin tried playing it off even though he knew the jig was up. He quickly relayed in text the whole story to Devilbat.
{Well, I have flown around this place twice and found no bombs, though I did find where my fellow bats come up and I think I can climb up it fairly easy. That means when you come back down here with me you will be going down a bat hole, you ok with that Robin?} I tease.
{Hardy Har Logan, your humor is terrible. Why don't you just fly out and find me? Why are you talking about climbing out?} Robin asked.
{Because I'll be carrying something out and I don't think I can carry it as a bat, silly. Hopefully It will weigh hundreds of pounds.} I tell him.
Flying to the wall that I had torn the mold from for April, I sat and thought for a bit about how feasible my change would be this time. A Graboid wouldn't work for more than finding stuff and swimming underground, going up a wall is a definite no go. So, let's see how good The Red is at making what I remember because my Martian transformation isn't going to do it this time.
I enter my mind and stand next to the red wall in my head and think about a rodent-like creature with a long snout similar to that of a platypus and a coat of black, fluffy fur. A pouch on my belly that can hold far more than seems possible. About 3 feet tall and floppy feet with claws to easily dig for the shiny objects they crave. The wonderful NIffler of the Harry Potter world.
I crawled over to where we had been digging all day, getting used to my new shape. I was a little worried that my Niffler form wouldn't be much help because buried treasure isn't usually very shiny, but I was hopeful knowing they were used by Goblins in the HP verse for this very purpose.
I started to dig in the ground letting my instincts take over and they were surprisingly leading me away from the mass graveyard. Believe it or not I wanted to go to Biggis trailer, I tried to focus on something other than the big Airstream, but all my instincts led me to under it. Well, I chose this form for a reason, I guess. Letting go I just dug around under the camper.
Within minutes I hit paydirt, 4 big metal and wood chests. I was able to dig into the wood on the side of a chest and gold coins and jewels started pouring out. I just shoved them into my pouch and started doing the same to the other chests until they were empty and my pouch felt full, I guess is the best description.
Now for the climb out, I wasn't sure what would happen if I changed forms again, but I really didn't want to take the chance of losing all my shiny's, so I was stuck climbing out as a Niffler. Luckily this body was almost as good at climbing as it was digging so over to the wall closest to the bat exit, I went.
I found a couple spots where I had to dig a bit to ensure Robin would fit coming back down. Any rocks I had to remove went into my pouch, so they didn't rattle down the tunnel making unnecessary noise. Eventually I started encountering vegetation, and not to surprisingly the bat exit (God I was loving all these puns.) came out of a tree.
Knowing that Robin wouldn't fit, I dug around the roots to make a hole in the ground for him to fit. I even noticed some grubs and worms attached to a couple tree roots that had started to rot. I nipped the bad roots so the rot wouldn't get to the tree and ate the grubs and worms. Yup, I ate them. Not proud of it but when you let the instinct go that's what you get.
Once I made it to the surface I looked around and saw a van not too far from me. {Hey Robin if you're in the van, open the back and help me up. It's a tall van for me right now.}
I see the back door swing open and Robin looking around. {Down here man, help a bro up I can't reach.}
Robin looked down and laughed but tried to hold it back, the result was spit hitting my head. Finally, he just let go and started laughing and typing on his wrist. I heard what sounded suspiciously like the sound of a camera shutter. {Ho Ha, funny. Now help me up and close the door.} I said in a dead pan voice.
Crawling close to the cab I ignored the look on Arnie's face and just started digging in my pouch and pulling stuff out. First was the rocks and finally the gold and gems started pouring out, I just naturally put on a couple necklaces and kept digging and bringing more out.
I didn't want to even think how a magical creature from another world still had its magic here (Or is H.P. in this world? I'll have to investigate.). I thought poor Arnie was going to have a heart attack watching this all unfold in front of him. Or it could have been all the gold that made his eyes pop out like that.
After I emptied my pouch, I changed back into my Human form and Morph was quick with some shorts keeping me from flashing everyone. "Ok Robin, I got us a way down, but you should find some cloths or a robe of some sort to move around down there." Robin Again punched some buttons on his wrist and his outfit goes to black and grey coloring to meld into the night better. "That will work, I think the trick to this will be getting the majority of the people up the ramp before any of the guards notice what's going on. Arnie you should head back to the yard. Things are going to get interesting here. Robin, you want to call the Devilbat or do you have a direct line to the Commissioner or someone that can get some cops here without all the sirens blaring?"
"Got my sources at GPD on their way, bringing a couple patty wagons and busses for the people." He said.
"You shouldn't have much trouble opening the ramp door right? Do you want to head straight there or go with the first group. Also, how many people do we want there before opening the door? Don't see how we can keep Boss Biggis from knowing the door is opening." I continue.
"Oh, You of so little faith. If it has code to it, I can make it do what I want, with enough time." He joked with me.
