What's next?
Batman vs Power Girl. Round 1. Will the Dark Knight win against the Mind Controlled Busty Sexbomb?
"Sir? There are problems in the Narrows." Bruce heard the voice of his butler just coming out of the elevator.
"Trouble?" Bruce asked as he turned to him in the chair. "What kind of problems?“And is Dick gonna take care of it if it's nothing important?"
"I don't know, sir. And Master Dick is still with the Teen Titans, sir. But police are assuming a level red incident."
"So a crime with super villains." He turned around and activated a direct channel into the bell tower. "Oracle, do you have anything on the fight in the Narrows?"
On the screen Barbara's cheerful face appeared and grinned at him. "Are you bored with something big? So far I don't know much, but I have already captured some first pictures from some cameras there. Power Girl is on site and seems to be fighting someone I haven't gotten onto the screen yet. But when I look at the devastation, I'd guess Darkseid or Doomsday. They've wrecked a lot of the Narrows. Wait a minute. I'm getting new pictures in here. It looks like Power Girl is just standing there... No, just... Now she flies away. Strange. According to first police information, she's fighting a man. But I've never seen this guy before."
"Neither will you. Not unless you're really there." Bruce nodded and deactivated the screen without paying attention to Barbara's questioning facial expression. "Alfred. This is gonna suck. I'm afraid Karen didn't listen to me. She got into a fight with another vampire." Said as he went to his armory and picked out his suit.
"You're worried about her? I mean, she tried Dr. Mendez, didn't she?"
"Yes, but this fight is much worse, I'm afraid. Dr. Mendez was probably just a very young vampire. So if we assume that someone has turned her into a vampire, we must also assume that her creator could be stronger. "And the worst thing about this fight I didn't think about or notice in time." Said Bruce when he came out of the chamber in modified armor.
"And that would be sir?"
"The Kryptonians are prone to magic. Dr. Mendez was able to hurt a Kryptonian. This means that their attacks can be magical in part. I'm afraid that..." before he could pronounce the alarms went off in the estate. Even before they could really react, the ceiling broke open and Power Girl crashed through the ceiling. With the force of a cannon ball she pierced the Bat Jet and landed in a fireball on the landing platform.
"We got a door!" Bruce said before he took off. He had just noticed her eyes were glowing red. There where he had just stood, the heat look of it just average the armored protective wall of the armory. Elegantly rolling, he pulled out his grappling hook in a flowing motion and fired it off. Just in time he was pulled into the darkness before the heat glance from her reached him.
It would now be hidden from any normal human being among the stalactites, but against a being of Krypton neither darkness nor solid matter was a protection. Here only mobility helped him to try to get one of his supplies of kryptonite. More out of the corner of his eye he could see that Alfred was ignored by Power Girl. Unfortunately, however, this brief thought had already been too much distraction. As he hurried from one corner to the other, Karen was suddenly standing right in front of her in the air. With a simple slap, without showing the slightest emotion, she fished him out of the lust and let him hit hard on the floor. The pain in his shoulder made him dazed for a few seconds but he was used to fighting beings that were far superior in strength. Rather out of reflex he rolled to the side despite all the pain and could feel Power Girl's foot crashing into the ground.
Still in motion, he activated a bomb dispenser in his belt and felt the small ball slip into his hand. As soon as it was broken, the surrounding area was filled with a mixture of smoke and lead particles. Protected by this cloud, Bruce just managed to roll off the platform and reach the Bat Mobil with his grappling hooks. By voice command, he fired a full broadside of all weapons at Power Girl. Although the missiles fully caught them, he didn't really expect any success. It came as it had to come. When the smoke had disappeared, she stood there looking at him with empty eyes.
"This is gonna be one of those days." Bruce sighed. He had experience fighting Superman, but that was different. "Computers. Activate protocol intruder," he said as he plied away from the car just seconds before Power Girl crashed his shoulder into the car. Although the car was heavily armored and weighed over 3 tons, he had no doubt that the car was destroyed. Then he heard the slow buzzing. He rolled off and looked at Power Girl who was just lifting the car over her head. Then the Gattling guns opened fire. 20 guns with a caliber of 20mm were maybe a little overkill but in this case it was only enough to slow them down.
Bruce could see from different angles as the six-barrel guns fired thousands of shots at her and bounced off her body. Even this firepower was no more than an obstacle to it but it gave him a few seconds he desperately needed. He wouldn't last forever playing hide-and-seek with a woman with her power. He ran towards a slope and started to jump. That he had just made a 15 meter jump he hardly realized but with one hand he managed to hold on to a lead. With only one arm he managed to pull himself up and looked astonished at the distance he had just overcome. But he simply did not have time for such thoughts. As soon as he had set foot on the platform he jumped up again. With an elegant somersault he managed to avoid the approaching car that just hit beside him. There was hardly anything left of his once proud car. Unfortunately, he was most vulnerable in such situations. Unlike an airworthy Kryptonian, he was subject to the laws of gravity. Power Girl suddenly stood exactly where he was going to land. He knew it was impossible for him to avoid this attack. This blow would be his last. There was nothing left to save him now. He just couldn't survive a direct, unchecked blow from a Kryptonian. And the Power Girl was under some kind of mind control for a long time was clear. Just as his right foot touched the ground, she struck. He could see this angelic face with the blue empty eyes, aiming completely impassive at his chest. As if in slow motion, he saw the clenched fist approaching.
Reflexes and years of training led to his body moving even though his mind had already recognized the hopelessness. His hand rushed out to block the blow.
Man versus Kryptonians.
When her fist hit his palm it was as if he had tried to stop a fighter jet with one hand. He felt the bones in his wrist turning to dust BUT.....
For some reason, she couldn't get through the block. Without even thinking about it, he grabbed her wrist with the other hand and turned around his own axis. Turning on his knees he actually managed to send Power Girl onto the mat with a shoulder throw. Even in her condition, this successful block must have irritated her. As soon as she lay on the floor Bruce ran on. He knew that he had been incredibly lucky and was not allowed to engage in close combat with her under any circumstances. While running, he first felt how much his hand hurt. But he got all the way down to his teeth and kept running. With a huge leap he jumped towards a box and opened it the very moment he felt Karen grab his ankle. But he had made it. Somehow he had made it.
A green light filled the room and shone out of the massive lead box. He could feel Power Girl's grip getting weaker almost immediately and she really let him go. He lay on the floor gasping and heavy breathing and hardly dared to look around. It wasn't that he was physically exhausted, for some reason he felt as fit as at the beginning of this fight. It was more of a mental exhaustion. The same one he came upon him every time he faced death. Slowly he crawled towards the box and leaned against it. He could see Power Girl staggering back and forth. She still had the strength and power to escape the effects of kryptonite, but she did not. She tried to reach him, knowing that this would lead her even closer to the source of her weakness. But she didn't last long. Finally, she collapsed right in front of him. Bruce could breathe a sigh of relief. He had made it. It wasn't long before Alfred ran towards him and supported him.
When Bruce was sure he had no more danger in front of him, he dared to look at the clock. The whole fight had lasted less than 5 minutes and his cave was a battlefield. The jet was just a burning wreck, the car was partly hanging in the wall and another part had fallen into the depths and his computer had melted. His suits would look similarly bad because the heat hit the Armory.
Alfred's words tore him out of his thoughts.
"You're lucky, sir! Looks like your hands just sprained, sir."
Bruce looked at his hand beating wildly under the glove. He could now allow himself the pain and yet it was less than he had thought. He had clearly felt during the fight that the hand had been badly affected and now, just minutes later it should have healed so far? Impossible. He'll take care of it later. Now there were more important things. He activated a connection to Watchtower and heard the calm and gentle voice of the Martian.
"What can I do for you, Bruce?"
"Omega Level Emergency! I'm locking down Gotham for all metamen above the Delta level. I need a team to pick up Power Girl at my coordinates and keep him in custody immediately. Not a Kryptonian. She was turned around."
Even such news left the Martians completely cold. A trait Bruce appreciated.
"Understood. Omega level lockdown. I'll send Flash and Siren to you immediately."
"Good thinking, old boy." Thought it was Bruce. Jonn took no chances. It could have been a trap, and he didn't want to send the most powerful of them without clarification. Only seconds later Flash and Siren materialized in the cave and Flash disappeared immediately only to reappear seconds later.
"Whoa! Batsy! What have you done to the cave? I like the Mad Max look! UIII! Power girl! I WOULD YOU!" the young fool shouted, but Siren slapped his hand.
"Carrying doesn't mean playing on her tits, you idiot! I'm doing this."
The beautiful blonde knelt next to Karen and activated the communicator. They quickly disappeared in a glistening light and Flash stood luffing in front of Bruce waiting for a report. Bruce laboriously got up and looked at him.
He didn't do anything else. He just looked at him. It wasn't long before Barry got nervous and ran away.
"I'm afraid Master Barry is afraid of you, sir." Alfred said dry as a bone and certainly nodded.
"I hope so. It doesn't matter. Get in touch with the workshop. I need new toys!"
"As you wish, sir!"
