Bruce´s morning isn´t so funny. Meanwhile Nightwing find a logical Solution why he returned ot the Wayne´s house

Confused Bruce went to the dining room where he met Alfred who looked at him worriedly.

Are you all right, Master Wayne? Oracle said she lost contact with you. We thought you'd be caught by the fire.

What fire?

The fire at the docks.

Mm. No. I wasn't there. Alfred. When did I get home?

I don't know, Master Wayne. Except you weren't alone this morning.

Yeah... Harley Quinn.

What do you mean?

You heard me right. So now the question arises. Why don't I remember anything? Inform the others and then we'll have to do a full medical examination. Maybe some kind of pheromone from ivy. Anyway, we have to assume that she now knows who I am.

I'm going to inform Master Greyson immediately, Master Wayne... said Alfred before he pulled out an anaesthetic pistol and shot at Bruce.

Miss Gordon. This is Alfred speaking. Plan zeta comes into **** immediately.

Understood, Alfred. I'll send a message to Watchtower right away. They're sending a team of doctors. Is he acting weird?

At the moment he is drooling on the Persian carpet but yes. Master wayne managed to bring a lady home with him.

That's unusual, though. You do realize he'll be mad when he wakes up?

Yes, I am aware of that, but if Master Wayne is under the control of Harley, it's more dangerous.

Harley? The Harley?

I'm afraid so. However, the reason is a mystery. Master Wayne can't remember. It would be good to know if there are any pictures.

I'll check it out. The van will be here in ten minutes.

Thank you very much.

Half an hour later, Bruce lay on a bar and was put through his paces. Blood work, brain, scans and other examinations. Meanwhile Oracle had driven the bat mobile back to the cave by autopilot and examined pictures of the cameras positioned in the area. The GPS signal from his suit was out of order. However, their data showed that the suit had suffered enormous damage.

"Once I'm out of my station and this is happening" sighed Barbara. A short call was enough and Nightwing was on the way to the last position of the suit.

Meanwhile, a Watchtower specialist team arrived in Gotham and transported the still **** Bruce to headquarters. Alfred had been working on this emergency plan for a long time and had found a more than trustworthy partner in Diana and Clark. Both agreed that an turned-over Batman would be a disaster. This is why this worst case plan was devised in collaboration with Alfred and Oracle. The team was always on standby and consisted of the best experts in areas such as mind control, biology or medicine. This team was also what Clark healed after Darkside tried to take over his mind. Now he was lying on a bar in Watchtower and was connected to various scanners while blood and DNA samples from him were being examined. However, only two people in the league knew that Batman was on board. He was not only a founding member of the League, he was a symbol that was perhaps even bigger than Superman. Because Batman was considered to be uncorruptible with an absolute will. Should it become known that he of all people would have been turned around, this could have caused a panic within the group.

Superman and Wonder Woman were standing behind a mirror talking to the chief physician.

"Is there already a prognosis?" asked Superman.

"The first tests carried out by the team in the jet do not indicate any abnormal values. The only abnormality is an increased amount of white blood cells. However, we are talking about a man who has physically reached the limits of human nature. We don't know if this blood work is normal for him."

With these words the door opened and a doctor brought him a new datasheet which the doctor immediately read through.

"Here's the good news. It is not one of the known spores or pheromones of Poison Ivy in his blood count or a similar substance that one would associate with mind control. We need to do an EKG and a CT now to see if someone has implanted something or if one of the traditional techniques has been used."

"His will is far too strong to do this." Told Diana fully convinced and the doctor nodded.

Such techniques also require a lot of time and very special preconditions. Impossible it could have happened within a night. But we'll know everything when the investigation is complete. However, I ask that one of them stay here if the patient stays..... So if he wants to run away. We would hardly be able to stop him."

"I'm not sure any of us could stop him if he was really serious." Answer Superman and then nodded. One of us will always watch you and take action in an emergency.

Oracle. This is Nightwing. I've arrived at the position.

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes. Here are pieces of his suit. Torn to pieces. Parts of the armour and the mask. Looks like there's been a fight here."

"Can you bring me some samples?"

"Sure. I already collected it. But I'm not measuring anything here that points to anyone who could beat him up like that."

"So, a new player?"

"I don't know. I only know that parts of the masonry are crumbled... and down on the street there's an impact hole. The way I see it, he fought somebody here and was pushed off the roof."

"Did you find traces of an enemy?"

"It seems so. I found some hair here. Give me a second. Yeah, found some hair. I'll bring her to the exam. What about the car?"

"It should be in the camp in 10 minutes."

"Damn it! I've wanted to drive this car for so long." Sighing nightwing before he disconnected.

"What do you think happened?"

"I don't know. But I don't think anyone corrupted him or anything. But that's how I see it. Bruce had a fight here... or something like that... he fell off the roof... and was found by Harley Quinn."

"But without the batsuit..."

"Right. She found Bruce Wayne right. And where does Bruce Wayne belong? Wayne Manor!"

"So you don't think she knows who she found?"

"Oracle. If Harley knew who she'd found there... she'd have rushed every maniac in town into the house by now. No. Personally, I don't think she has a clue. But let's wait and see what the medical team finds out. How do you think he'll react to that?"

"He's gonna be pissed off, what do you think? However, I hope he understands us."

"I'm sure he will. Maybe we'll even hear some praise from him."

"What are you dreaming about at night?" Nightwing heard them laugh and when he jumped on his bike.

"Well. I'm gonna go jump into his costume for a few days and make sure he's not missing. After dinner at the tower?"

"Pizza and Coke?"

"Sounds like a plan. See you later."
