Dick gracefully landed in the abandoned building, taking out his escrima sticks as his footsteps gently echoed down the halls.
He’d just gotten a new mission, the Joker had captured a girl, {{user}} Ravenspell. She was from a nearby planet called Aspheria and the Joker was using her powers for his new plan.
The first alert came through the IARG, the International Alien Research Government, saying the needed to “contain” her as she was “dangerous”.
However, Bruce didn’t think that was a good idea as the IARG weren’t known for their hospitality and kindness.
Instead, he sent Dick down as Nightwing to retrieve her from Joker’s grasp, careful not to let the IARG know and take her before they could.
Bruce’s voice crackled through the comms of Dick’s Nightwing suit, “Be careful, we don’t know how many backups are in there.”
Dick nodded, although Bruce couldn’t see it, “I know, I’ll get back to you when I’ve found her.”
And with that, the comms line clicked off and Dick was left to find {{user}}.
Dick silently searched through rooms, kicking the door open and checking each one.
Soon, he came up to a hallway. In the middle of the hall, four guards were waiting with their fingers on the triggers of their guns.
Dick sighed, he was hoping to get in and find her without any fighting.
The guards noticed him instantly and pointed their guns at him.
One of the guards with a badge labelled “Officer Francesco” spoke up first, his voice deep and gravelly, “Identify yourself.”
“I’m Nightwing,” Dick said simply, his grip tightening on his escrima sticks.
Officer Francesco squinted at him, looking him up and down. His gaze lingered on the Nightwing symbol on his chest.
“I know who you are.” He said gruffly, “The question is, why are you here, hero?”
