Batman: Fembots Part 3

[RancidInsanity]

SHADY DEALINGS

Edward Nigma aka The Riddler tapped his foot impatiently, his green tux suit with black question marks spread all over it contrasted with the orange sunlight of the setting sun. Finally two figures appeared.

“Question: What took you two so long?” asked The Riddler

“We got lost. Now give us Lex’s products, you’ve already been paid.” Said Mr. Freeze emerging from a shadow

Victor Fries aka Mr. Freeze has lead a somewhat tragic life. He seeks to cure his frozen wife Nora, who was terminally ill before being cryogenically frozen.

“I hope you have my Alice, I can’t wait to see her.” Said The mad hatter also stepping out from the shadows

Jervis Tetch aka The Mad Hatter is a mentally insane man obsessed with the classic “Alice in Wonderland” book. He is an expert hypnotist and deploys highly advanced mind control devices.

“Well here they are Nora for you Mr. Freeze and Alice for you Mad Hatter.” Riddler said

“Nora….” Mr. Freeze said to himself

“Come on Alice, we’re late to the tea party and Mr. Rabbit is waiting.” Mad Hatter said to his new fembot who was dressed in a blue and white dress with long socks, exactly like the cartoon character Alice.

“Your not going anywhere.” A woman’s voice said from somewhere in the shadows

“Who’s there?” yelled Mr. Freeze grabbing his freeze-gun

No one answered, but shortly after Mad Hatter was taken out with a flying kick to the face. The Riddler gasped and then gluped, “C-Catwoman!?!”

“That’s right Riddler, I’m back in town and I want one of these fembots.” Catwoman said defiantly

“All those fembots are are walking bombs.” Another voice said from yet again the ever growing shadows

“W-who’s there?” Riddler asked growing more and more scared

“It doesn’t matter who’s there, he’ll be frozen in a minute.” Mr. Freeze boldly said

A batarang flew from the shadows and knocked the freeze gun from Mr. Freeze’s hand.

“Batman?!?” yelled The Riddler

“Purrrrfect.” Purred Catwoman

Mr. Freeze ran and got away, taking Nora with him. Mad Hatter slowly started to get up only to be stepped on by Catwoman.

“Shall we take him out, love?” asked Catwoman to Batman

“There is no we….” Batman said to himself

“Q-Question: H-How did things-s end up this way-y?....A-Answer: Malfunction.” Spoke The Riddler in an increasingly monotone voice

“Get down! He’s a bomb!” yelled Batman at Catwoman

The Riddler Robot erupted into a huge explosion. After words, Batman and Catwoman shared a few words.

“Why did you want a fembot?” asked Batman

“Well they’re obviously valuable, I don’t know.” Replied Catwoman casually

As Batman watched catwoman disappear into the night he removed a tracking device that someone had planted on him. “Could Catwoman had planted this on me?” thought Batman, “Could she be one of Lex’s robots too?”

LEXCORP

“Cheers.” Smiled Lex

“Cheers.” Smiled The real Riddler

The two masterminds had just finished watching what had transpired on TV.


”It is time we move on to the next stage, project cornfield.” Said Lex still smirking a bit.

“Next week you give your big environmental speech in that cornfield, with any luck some of Wayne’s stock holders will be there…” Riddler began

“….and that’s where we get them.” Finished Lex

PROJECT CORNFIELD

“We are coming to you live from what appears to be just an ordinary cornfield, but Lex Luthor has chosen to give his environmental speech here, just outside of Gotham.” A TV news reporter explained to the camera

Lex was surprised to see that Bruce Wayne himself had managed to get out to this remote location but it didn’t matter he thought. As he finished his speech the two identical brunette fembots on either side of him applauded slowly and smiled brightly as people began to leave. When suddenly an old scarecrow that was behind Lex began to shake and shiver. It raised it’s head and threw to balls which were spewing gas at the crowd.

It was Scarecrow. Dr. Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow was bullied as a child at school. He grew up and studied chemistry, he eventually developed his signature fear gas.

Lex quickly ducked under the make-shift stage and put on a gas mask from his pocket. Bruce Wayne tried to cover his nose and mouth put it was to late. He began to have horrible hallucinations including seeing the two beautiful fembots as hideous demon-women.

“Mary had a little lamb, it’s fleece was white as snow.” Sang Scarecrow while screams of terror rang out from all directions

“You have you’re orders Crane, find Wayne’s stock holders or find Wayne himself and drive them mad.” Lex said under the stage through a walky-talky

“Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum I smell the blood of an English mun.” Scarecrow half sang and half laughed into the walky-talky

Scarecrow looked different but still truly horrifying to anyone to glimpse his mask. Bruce saw flames shooting up from the eye holes in his mask and was nearly frozen with fear until someone started shooting wildly.

“Guh!” yelled Scarecrow in pain, he had just been shot in the shoulder

“Crane, what the hell is going on out there?” yelled Lex into the walky-talky from beneath the stage

As the fear gas finally cleared Bruce was able to make out a lone figure holding two guns in his hands.

“Harvey….?” Thought Bruce out loud
