batman and red hood

Dick spent a whole day running to the designated place to scout, and after excluding several locations on the coastline, he finally determined an abandoned warehouse on an inland river.

"Hmph, it's really hidden, no wonder Batman hasn't found it all the time"

This is one of Gotham's many rivers leading to the coast. It is far away from the urban depressions and has a large area of ​​forest coverage. It is listed as a nature reserve by the city government and prohibited from development. Wayne's environmental protection fund is the One of the funders of the protected area.

But there is also a lack of transportation, the most important thing for cargo transportation.

No matter what you want to sell, transportation is an indispensable condition, but at this moment the narrow river channel on the map is much wider than expected, and it seems that someone has artificially rested it.Dick squinted at the obvious traces of artificial operation and frowned.

"Speaking of which, this is Poison Ivy's favorite place. How could she allow the Scarecrow to place chemicals here?"

Dick quietly sneaked towards the destination under the moonlight, and after seeing the heavily guarded warehouse, a doubt surfaced from the bottom of his heart.

With the help of tall tree trunks, Dick got as close to the warehouse as possible.There are only three small warehouses. This place was originally a lumber mill. Since the government classified it as a protected area, the lumber mill has been closed, and the warehouse has naturally been left idle.

"I don't know how much gas the Scarecrow has produced"

In the abandoned factory over there, Dick didn't see any canned poisonous gas. What was left in the man's mouth probably referred to those equipment. Transporting such a large equipment must be very eye-catching. Dick has been monitoring that The movement of the chemical plant, but nothing at all.

Dick knew that it was probably the result of asking Superman to save him. The disappearance of the man made the scarecrow lurk again in fear. The people who guarded the chemical plant were also removed, although he had no hope of passing the surveillance. Those guys found the scarecrow, but it still made Dick a little bit remorse for his recklessness.

When Dick was concentrating on observing every move in the warehouse, he suddenly felt something behind him. He was about to turn around, but the dart in his hand was firmly held in his hand.Although there is not enough light here at the moment, Nightwing's mask has night vision capabilities, so he is very sure that it is not a person, nor a snake, but a vine, a snake that walks around on the branches vines...

"... Strange, did Poison Ivy and the Scarecrow team up?"

This conclusion is almost as unbelievable as saying that Poison Ivy is no longer madly in love with plants. Poison Ivy may team up with any Gotham villain, including the Joker, but it will definitely not team up with the Scarecrow, because she begs!Disgusted!change!study!try!potion!

But apart from Poison Ivy, in Dick's memory, there is no guy in Gotham who has the ability to make plants obey.

"...if Poison Ivy joins forces with the Scarecrow, it will be a bit bad"

After estimating the general situation, Dick resolutely decided to go to the warehouse to find out. After all, there is another possibility, that is, the scarecrow coerced Poison Ivy and used her plant ability to hide this stronghold.

Carefully avoiding the vines that looked like probe needles, Dick used the darkness to touch the bushes near the warehouse.After observing for a while and summing up the patrol rules, he took advantage of a patrol gap and quickly came to the roof.The dilapidated roof didn't require Dick to do anything to see the whole of the warehouse through cracked cracks and skylights.In order to prevent himself from accidentally stepping on the air and falling, Dick carefully moved on the roof on all fours. Fortunately, the main frame of these warehouses is still very strong.

Using those cracks, Dick carefully searched for what he was looking for in the warehouse.

Regardless of whether Poison Ivy is active or passive, she can't be too far away from here, so she must be in these warehouses. He must determine whether Poison Ivy is teaming up with the Scarecrow.

The first warehouse was empty of nothing but piles of containers. Dick thought for a moment, then climbed to the nearest skylight, and easily removed the old skylight with a portable screwdriver.Quietly, he went down to the warehouse and pried open the nearest container. As he expected, there were well-packed metal cans inside. If he guessed correctly, it was the scarecrow's new poisonous gas.

"Looks like it's about to be delivered"

But the scarecrow must not be handed over to Elsa but to Luthor.

There was a movement at the door of the warehouse, and Dick immediately hid his figure as much as possible in the darkness, observing the movement at the door.

A person came in and walked slowly in the warehouse with a flashlight. Dick carefully avoided the light of the flashlight, and he was not noticed until the visitor left.

Dick quietly approached the window and looked out, everything was still normal outside, nothing unusual.

"Looks like there will be regular patrols in the warehouse too"

Pulling out the grapple gun Dick went back to the roof.Carefully come to the second warehouse, the things seen from the gap and skylight are similar to those in the first warehouse.When he came to the third warehouse, Dick finally found one of the targets he was looking for, Poison Ivy.

The Poison Ivy Girl was covered by a huge glass cover. She was lying on the ground and couldn't see her condition clearly. There were three people sitting around playing cards in the warehouse. Judging from her attire, they were Scarecrow's subordinates. They should be in charge of guarding poison ivy.

Seeing the three players playing cards in full swing, Dick didn't bother him, quietly hung down from the skylight far away from them, and slowly approached the location of the poisonous ivy with the help of a container to hide his figure.

After getting close to a certain distance, Dick discovered that there was some kind of green gas looming in the glass cover containing the poison ivy.

"Fear gas? It shouldn't be. Poison ivy is immune to most poison gas. There is no reason for a scarecrow to use fear gas to control poison ivy..."

There was a knock on the door, and one of the three players stood up and opened the door. After talking to the person outside the door, he turned around and asked one of the remaining two to stay with the other. left the warehouse.

Seeing the opportunity, Dick quietly touched behind the guy who was left alone, and knocked him unconscious quickly and decisively, without even giving him a chance to struggle.

Although he didn't know when the two people who went out would come back, Dick still decided to check the status of Poison Ivy first.It wouldn't be good news if the Scarecrow developed a new type of gas to which poison ivy was not immune and thus manipulated poison ivy.

"Hey! Poison ivy, hello!"

Dick tapped on the glass lightly to try to wake up Poison Ivy inside, but Poison Ivy didn't respond at all.Dick took out a portable respirator and put it on. Although he didn't know what the gas inside was, neither the scarecrow nor the poison ivy was a good thing.

After manipulating the console of the giant glass bottle, Dick finally released the poison ivy from the bottle.

"Hey! Poison Ivy"

Dick patted Poison Ivy's face, but Poison Ivy didn't respond at all.Staring at the pink lips of Poison Ivy, Dick still refused to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, God knows what might be on the lips of the Poison Ivy woman.

"I thought it was the big bat, but it was just one of his little followers."

A familiar hoarse voice suddenly came from behind, making Dick immediately put on alert, rolled and immediately hid himself behind a nearby container.

"That place is not so good, little follower, these were originally prepared for that bat, but forget it"

As soon as the words fell, the container in front of Dick was immediately attacked by a swarm of bullets. Almost instantly, Dick sensed the opponent's purpose, and the gas cylinder full of air pressure made some subtle sounds under the intensive firepower.

"Oh no"

Dick jumped out of his hiding place at the fastest speed, but the huge impact still lifted his whole body and slammed him into the wall.Trying hard to get up from the ground, it caused a sharp pain in the back.

"Damn it, there shouldn't be any metal debris stuck in it."

Dick's uniform has a certain degree of impact resistance, and can resist conventional bullets except some special sniper rifle bullets. Small-scale explosions can also be dealt with, but such a short distance Dick is not sure whether it can resist the metal debris of the explosion. And what is worse than the metal debris is the gas that was originally compressed in the bottle. Those are not compressed air...

After the chaos of the explosion, Dick heard the scarecrow's footsteps slowly walking towards him.Pull the body as hard as possible to hide again.

"It runs quite fast, but I think you should know that the poisonous gas can be absorbed through the skin, although the effect will not be quick"

From the scattered smoke and dust, the Scarecrow didn't see Night Wing's figure. After all, he was brought out by Batman, so he didn't think that a shuttle of bullets and a few exploding gas bottles could keep him in the ruins after a burst of smoke and dust. Find a Nightwing corpse.

The Dick the Scarecrow said knew that he had already felt his body start to become numb, and he didn't know whether it was the effect of the injury on his back or the effect of the poisonous gas.

"If I had known earlier, I would have ordered an antidote first."

Dick laughed at himself while thinking about how to get out from here.

"caught you"

At some point, a vine quietly wrapped around Dick's feet, and before he could react, he was completely hung upside down.

"Boy, where's Batman?"

"Sorry, he didn't come"

Throwing a dart at the scarecrow casually, he turned around and cut off the vines tied to his feet. After landing, he turned around and ran towards the nearest window. He fell heavily to the ground.

"Let me guess. Are you wondering why the poisonous gas happened so quickly?"

The scarecrow spoke out Dick's question in a tone that had already grasped the overall situation.

"Skin absorption, breathing absorption, but neither is as fast as intravenous injection. Of course, intramuscular injection is also very fast."

A vine slowly drifted to the side of the scarecrow and stood up, the moonlight shining on the tip of the vine reflected a strange luster...

【Oh shit! 】

Dick couldn't help swearing in his heart, he should have asked Lucius if he had made the antidote if he knew earlier.

Watching the scarecrow slowly approaching step by step, Dick's increasingly dysfunctional brain was still trying to think of any way to escape.

There was the sound of broken glass, something fell from above, and a familiar light voice seemed to be saying something in his ears. There was a gunshot, but there was only one sound, maybe he didn't hear it.Dick felt that his five senses were useless.

He saw a familiar figure, and then someone ran towards him, as if he saw it but didn't.But in the end, he couldn't resist the poisonous gas and fell into a coma.

When Dick opened his eyes again, he was in the emergency room in the Batcave.

It took him a while to be sure his vision was back, but there was still a weird feeling to it.He tried hard to get up, but the cells in his body seemed to be disconnected from his brain, completely unable to function.

"You'd better not move around, Ah Fu said that the metal plate behind you is a bit dangerous"

The familiar voice came from the side, and it took Dick a while to digest the meaning. It seemed that his senses and brain cells had not fully recovered.

Trying to roll his eyes, he saw Jason's familiar face, and Dick seemed to see a worried look in those green eyes.

"...Are you messing with him?"

The brain's control over the tongue is not very good, and Dick is a little worried about what will happen if he becomes a big tongue.

Jason didn't answer, and Dick knew this was what he meant by default. Although it was not surprising that the man who was full of control would know his whereabouts, there was only one reason for knowing so quickly, Jason said.

"I won and told you..."

"Yes, but you also said that learning to ask for help is a sign of maturity"

Jason interrupted Dick, contradicting him with something he had said before.Dick did tell him he wanted to catch the scarecrow himself, and Bruce acted like he could handle it, but Jason finally decided to tell Bruce how he and Dick were going, because he always felt like Bruce wasn't acting like he was. So confident.

Dick rolled his eyes, and then changed the subject:

"Caught him?"

Of course Jason knew who Dick was talking about.

"Well, I caught it, and poison ivy caught it too."

This is the first time that Jason has come into contact with the two big bosses of Gotham so closely.

The Scarecrow, who claims to be terrified, doesn't seem that scary after a closer look, at least not when Bruce is angry.As for the Poison Ivy girl, Bruce stopped Jason when he wanted to touch her hair to see if it was also a plant, and then Jason learned a basic common sense when dealing with a Poison Ivy girl. Never have any limbs with a Poison Ivy girl. Touch, you never know what's attached to her skin.

"Oh... that's right, congratulations, you caught the scarecrow again"

Dick only needs to hear the voice to know who is coming, and he said unwillingly.

Bruce came over and heard Dick say this, and after a short pause he said:

"Scarecrow and poison ivy are not something you can handle alone"

"It was the Scarecrow alone, and the poison ivy just fainted"

"Scarecrow uses chemical reagents and pheromones from poison ivy to control plants. Strictly speaking, you are dealing with two people at the same time."

Dick didn't speak, he couldn't refute Bruce, and when he noticed that poison ivy was with the scarecrow, he shouldn't take risks unprepared.

"……have a good rest"

After saying this, Bruce left the medical room.

"Hmph! He's always so arrogant!"

As soon as Bruce left Dick, he couldn't help complaining.

"Really? I think he's upset"

"Not happy I screwed up"

"No, I think he's upset that he didn't find the exact location of the scarecrow's nest"

"……What's the meaning?"

Jason's words aroused Dick's curiosity.

"When I received the message from Superman, Bruce and I were searching a few places on the coastline that Bruce delineated"

"Superman?"

"Well... I think it should be him, and then Bruce asked me how far you checked, and then I told him"

"And he found it there?"

"right……"

Jason's words made Dick suddenly feel a lot better, well, at least he found the Scarecrow before Bruce.

Ah!
