Batman wakes up and is on the File

It took almost three days to wake him up again. They had carried out every conceivable test but found nothing. The only abnormality in his body was the greatly increased amount of white blood cells. So far no explanation had been found for this, but it was clear that it had nothing to do with the memory loss. That's why they agreed to wake him up from the artificial coma, but even now he was still tied to the bed. They didn't want to take any unnecessary risks, so Superman and Wonder Woman were in the room when he woke up.

"Where am I?" Was the first thing he asked and when he noticed that he was tied up, he opened his eyes and looked into the gentle face of Wonder Woman.

"You're with friends Bruce. On the watchtower. Your faithful soul Alfred brought you here so we could examine you. Said it was in your interest if we put you out of commission."

The next thing she heard were the ties that fell to the ground and watched amused as he rubbed his wrists.

"And you call that tying up? What the fuck is this shit? How long have I been here? "

Superman stepped out of the shadows and smiled. "Hey, we tried anyway. It's now three days and the good news first. Apparently Harley Quinn has no idea who you are or has kept it to herself until now. Your house and Alfred is safe. Your young friend took your role and nobody noticed that you were gone. We've done every known test we can to see if you've been manipulated in any way. So far, we haven't found anything to suggest it.

So it took you three days to find out what happened and didn`t find anything? How very efficient of you.

Yeah, yeah. Don't get any hope, Clark. Thankful words do not belong to his speech-reporter." said a laughing Diana.

No, I didn't expect that either, Diana. However, Nightwing has an idea what happened. He thinks you had a fight and that your armor was destroyed. Then you were thrown off the roof and hit the floor. That's where Harley must have found you. I guess the rest is clear.

I only remember some kind of wolf. Teeth everywhere. Whatever attacked me, it was fast and strong. Normally, my suit can take a lot of damage. Have the fragments been brought here yet?

Yeah, what's left is in the lab. We thought it would be better if you stayed here on the tower. Your villa isn't safe right now, or at least we think it's not safe. According to some information from Oracle, Harley is currently with poison ivy and has organized a small bank robbery. We suspect she doesn't know anything since she's keeping away from the rest of the underworld right now. Apparently word has gotten out that the Jokers are on some kind of hit list.

What do you mean?

The night you were overwhelmed, the warehouse to which you wanted to be attacked. They found over 40 bodies. Most of them belong to Black Mask or Jokers troops. Then there was a fire and they're all burned. Apparently the gang war has escalated a little. Nightwing and Oracle are on the line, but they're not you. I suppose you want to find out what happened to your suit?

You're assuming correctly. I hope you brought something for me to wear out of the villa?

"Of course, even though I think you're kind of cute in a white sheet." Laughed at Diana and gave him a suit.

We didn't let the rest of the league know what happened to you or not. We didn't want to worry them by telling them what happened.

You have absolutely no idea what happened if I just understood your talk correctly.

Yeah, and that would only make the story worse. Besides, the story that you and Harley ended up in a bed doesn't make it any better.

I don't want to hear another word of it.

"I'm sorry, Bruce, but it's a fact that you went to bed with her." Answered Diana a little pissed off.

Yes Yes Yes Yes. I will have to listen to that for a very long time to come, am I afraid so? I have no idea if and how I will ever overcome this. But the fact that you helped me there is amazing, almost friendly. Let me guess. You're coming back with the membership number, huh?

Well you can't deny that it would be a good idea Bruce. The people on board this station trust you and believe in you. It would be a win-win for all of us.

For some reason, he couldn't stop thinking about what exactly happened there. While he was investigating the hair samples that Nightwing had organized, he tried to remember something. He still knew how he had stood on the roof and looked at the moon. That was the moment he had been distracted for a moment. Afterwards he only remembered the howling of a wolf and the growling. An irrepressible savagery and brutality. The way his suit looked like, it had been an extremely violent fight. Everything from the fight was gone. Next thing he remembered was Harley and how good her body looked. How she escaped from the room with the trophy.

I wonder if she had enjoyed Bruce wayne.

Maybe it was time for Batman to find her. But before he could take up this matter he wanted to investigate something else. According to police records, some of the gangsters killed themselves or shot each other, but the autopsy of the randomly selected corpses clearly showed that they had not died from the fire or firearms. The examined corpses had died from massive blood volume deficiency shock. In almost all the corpses, there were clear signs that her organs had failed massively.

This suggests that there was another **** at work here. Usually Bruce would have pushed it onto a new designer **** that was on the rise in the underworld but something bothered him. He had to wait a few minutes until he found the connection. A few days ago, two small gangsters had been found dead in an alleyway. The exact circumstances of **** were not known only that the two of them also suffered from acute anemia and because of this loss their organs had finally stopped functioning.

Have you found something Master Wayne?

Not so far, no. Apparently Harley didn't come up with the info about who I am or she really doesn't know. But the corpses in the warehouse show the same physical wounds as a few minor ones a few days ago. However, I do not yet see any connection between these two incidents. Call the company, please. Tell Fox to look around for a **** that consumes human blood. I'll look through the league's records to see if there's one who feeds on blood or something like that.

Do you want me to add Count Dracula to the list Master Wayne? Alfred smiled but the look that Bruce just threw at him was clear enough.

Alfred, of course. And while we're at it, why don't I just ask Sherlock for advice?

There are still signs and wonders happening Master Wayne. You didn't lose him after all.

Lost what?

Your sense of humor.

While he was smiling, Bruce looked at him.

Tell me something. Do you think Bruce wayne could save Harley?

Suddenly looking very serious, Alfred nodded surprisingly.

Batman has been trying it for many years Master Wayne. And failed again and again. But do you think that would be wise?

That depends on how much she knows. Let's see how she reacts when Batman comes to visit her. She is currently with poison ivy. I'm just not sure if I should take on both of them, but if she really didn't uncover me, I'll know after the visit.

But you do realize this is a pretty crazy situation, don't you? Many of them won't understand that they will work with her right now.

Are you thinking superman or Oracle?

I think of Diana.... said Alfred with a smile and it was nice to see that a Batman could also be scared.

Oh, yes..... There was something there. Laughed he concerned.

You should consider your steps very carefully Master Wayne. Because something very strange is going on right now. And I would wait with additional problems until the present ones are solved. However, I think Harley may be the one who can be saved best right now. Not from batman, though.

You mean because of Joker's ****=

Right. The Joker was the one who drove her crazy and the Joker was the one who kept her under his spell. Now he is dead. And for once, I mean truly definitive dead. Perhaps you can free her from his spell.

You'd put up with anything so I could go out with a woman, wouldn't you?

No sir. Of course, I also have borders. If you were to date an orangutan female, I would probably advise you not to, sir.

Forget about Clark. I work alone.

And what about Nightwing and Oracle?

This is family, and you're just exceeding your competences Clark. So don't get on my nerves. You better find out what and who did this to me. Or have you already figured it out. After all, almost a week has passed?

We didn't find anything, Bruce. But Nightwing found some hair and had it analyzed. He had them analyzed. He thinks it belongs to a wolf but is not sure. He's not you. Maybe you should take another look at this and take care of Harley.

I'll look at the suit and then decide. What did your scientists find out?

You have never been the victim of any known toxins or ****, nor can they rule out a long-term change in your mind as your brainwaves do not show any abnormal enamels. The only 7 to date has been a sharp increase in your white blood cells. But this also seems to be a consequence of your physical fitness. The only question I have for you is..... How are you feeling? Asked an honestly worried Diana and the sound of her voice made even the otherwise hard Batman soften.

Don't worry about me, Diana. Except, of course, I'm a little confused about what exactly happened, its fine. It is also nice to know that in case of an emergency you can protect my privacy. Thank you very much for that. I would have hoped that it wouldn't be Harley of all people, but now with my luck this was to be expected.

Doctors! He is acting VERY Strange!" yelled Superman and all of the three had to laugh.

One day later he arrived back in his villa and smiled only when he saw Alfred at the door. That he was not mad at him was a clear proof for him that Bruce could live with the plan and he used to go directly into the cave to examine the remains of his suit. Normally he should have noticed that the suit had been destroyed from the inside and showed no damage to the outer armor, but every time he saw it he could only concentrate on the big wolf he had seen in his dreams. He was absolutely sure after the examination that he had not been attacked by a simple wolf but by something much bigger. Stronger, wilder. He tried to imagine how such a mighty creature would think or act. Was it able to control her baser instincts or did it control the beast? The more he thought about it, the more he imagined what it would be like to roam through the woods and howl at the moon. But then he realized that there was another problem.

"Harley."

While he called up her file and analyzed her more closely, he noticed what a good-looking woman she was. Too bad he didn't remember anything from that night. If she was half as good in bed as she was insane..... Then it would have been an impressive night.

Now even both had to grin and batman informed Nightwing and Oracle that he was on his way to the greenhouse of ivy. He just wanted to take a look at the place today and maybe try to arrest one of them. However, his plan was to let them run more easily. Basically, it was all about seeing if she knew who he really was or not. To be on the safe side, he sprayed himself shortly before arriving but some potent inhibitors that were specifically designed to fight ivy's pheromones. Plus a few cans of effective weed killers in the belt and the usual equipment. The new suit he wore was specially designed for ivy and had tiny air tubes in the mask that were inserted into his nose. Slightly uncomfortable but the inhaled air was sent through several filters which made a poisoning over the respiratory tract almost impossible. Unfortunately, ivy also had the possibility to poison him directly over the skin or eyes, but he trusted as so often on the antitoxins he had been designed by Fox. They've never let him down before.
