Jake jumped as his cell phone rang. He checked the ID and saw it was the commissioner. "Hello, sir?" He asked.
"Ja...Nightwing! Get down to the bank, Killer Croc is down here and he's robbing the place!" The commissioner told him. Jake agreed to help and jumped out of his bed. He quickly changed into his Nightwing suit and grabbed his utility belt. He submerged from his window and using all the little holes and window seals on the wall managed to get to the roof. He began running and jumped from roof top to roof top until he made it to the Clock tower.
He figured if it was Killer Croc, he'd need some help and who better than Batwoman...Or Aunt Elena that is. Jake pulled out his grapple gun and shot it to the top. As he zipped up he let go and jumped through the window. He landed on a table and looked at a shadow he saw.
"Au...Batwoman? I need your help." Jake said simply.

Elena was in the Clock tower she had the night off thanks to her commissioner but that didn’t mean she would use the night enjoying herself; the night was just another shift to her though this time as Batwoman. When she got the Birds of Prey headquarters she found herself to be the only one there, which she had to admit, was relieved she wanted to get some work done and for that to happen she needed silence throughout the base.
Batwoman needed to do some research on the appearance of different superheroes for example the new Batman in town that she was positive was her father Bruce Wayne. The evidence just needed to be gathered to explain this was all. Going to the main computer that was designed by her mentor Oracle Elena searched through the database for articles or any reports on the whereabouts of the original Justice League. The same story came up that they disappeared without a trance when they left to go after Lex Luthor. Maybe if she could figure out where Luthor disappeared to it would push her in the right direction to why Bruce Wayne was suddenly here.
“Au...Batwoman? I need your help.” A voice said when Batwoman turned she saw Nightwing there, Elena was familiar with the hero before she took the mantle of Batwoman through his help with her squad and when she discovered she was the daughter of Bruce Wayne. Nightwing was really Jake Grayson, son of previous Nightwing Dick Grayson and her nephew.
“What kind of help?” Elena asked closing her documents looking back at the teenage hero, she heard him almost call her aunt. Elena didn’t consider herself a Wayne so she didn’t really consider herself to be an aunt or sister to the rest of the Wayne adoptees.

Jake stepped forward and scratched his head. "It's Killer Croc. he's robbing the Gotham National Bank, and I figured this is more than just a job for a 15 year old." Jake told her, as he pulled his grappling gun in so he could re-use it later. "The commissioner said to get there as soon as possible!" He told her. Jake hoped she had a Batplane or something, other wise he'd have to go get his motorcycle. He called it the Blue Bird, since Tim had a Red Bird.
"Do you have something to travel with? If not, we can get my motorcycle. I've got extra helmets." Jake offered to her. He looked around and decided it could get pretty...cozy in here after awhile...Maybe not in the winter, but still. "Oh...and I'll pay for the window I just broke." Nightwing quickly added.

Elena raised her eyebrow at the mention of Killer Croc at the national bank she wasn’t surprised that he had broken out but still she knew this needed to be addressed quickly and that Jake did the right thing coming to her. Getting up Elena grabbed her keys from the table and listened to Jake talk some more.
“Forget about the window I’ll do something about it later, I have my batcycle to give me a ride so I won’t need the helmet” Elena said in a hurry she pressed the button then looked down at the street below from the broken window and saw the batcycle drive then park itself down below.
Not waiting for Jake Elena used her grappling hook to lower her onto where her motorcycle was waiting and got on the bike preparing to drive herself to the national bank. She gave Nightwing a motion to follow her before she sped toward the crime her red and black cape flowing like the wind through her hair. When she reached the crime she parked and used her grappling hook to get to the roof through the windows she looked down at the scene of chaos Killer Croc created.

As she interrupted him and dove out of the window on a line for her motorcycle, he sighed. "Woman..." He said and dove out the window and onto a roof. After a good 5 minutes of roofing he saw his apartment complex several buildings away. He pulled out a small bird shaped box and clicked the button and watched a black and blue motorcycle come flying out of the building with a blue helmet strapped to it. As it rode by he timed his jump and made his way on to the bike. LIKE A BOSS. He thought simply and kept riding.
As he caught up to Batwoman he grinned and gave her a thumbs up. Jake kept riding as they made it to the crime scene and they both swerved and jumped off the bike, Jake throwing his helmet off in the process. He ran to the side and bummed a ride from Batwoman's grapple gun as they made their way to the top. He pulled out his staff and pressed a small grey button where his hand would go that released a blade in the top.
He looked at Elena and smiled. "Ready to go, Batwoman?" He asked and hit the window infront of them with the bottom of the staff, and Jake jumped into the building in a acrobatic dive, landed and rolled onto his feet and stared Croc in the face. Note to self...Thank dad for acrobatic lessons. Jake thought to himself.

“Show off” Elena sighed to herself shaking her head slightly before jumping after her nephew, she threw a red bat a rang at Killer Croc as she did the weapon settling into his jaw quite nicely. Killer Croc roared in pain before he started swiping at the heroes, Elena jumped out of the way knowing that Jake would do the same. Elena didn’t worry about Jake all that often his acrobat skills were superb and Batwoman knew that he would be able to use those skills to his advantage in fights like this. Though when fighting someone like Killer Croc Elena wished she had more weapons rather than her martial arts skills, her gun she would only use while she was a cop she didn’t need anyone tracing Batwoman’s bullets back to her and she didn’t kill ever that was the line she could never cross.
Batwoman chucked another batarang at Killer Croc his arm this time to get his attention away from her teenage nephew. She didn’t want Killer Croc to eat him or anything she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if a child got hurt on her watch even if he was the leader of the Teen Titans. Killer Croc turned away from the boy and toward Elena looking at her with nothing but hate and malice in her eyes. He obviously had a long history with people who wore bat symbols on their chest and Elena doubted it was filled with happy memories.

Jake mentally thanked his aunt for throwing those batarangs. Can you spell distraction? He jumped onto the counter next to him and put his staff at a 160 degree angle and tripped the Croc. Jake jumped onto his back and yelled "How do you like that!?" But Croc just stood up and threw Jake to the wall. The blade stuck in and Jake quickly made a plan. He started twirling around the staff and let go mid-jump and landed on his feet. "That was like a ten right!?" He asked sarcastically and threw his wingding at the grey button on the staff.
Somehow his aim worked well and the blade collapsed back into the staff and it dropped from the wall. Jake caught it and began to do back handsprings as it was quicker than running. He made his way to Croc and the blade popped out once more. He sliced it up the villain's back and dove over him, landing next to his aunt. It was just blood, It's not like Jake would of killed the thing. He threw another wingding and it lead out a small string, wrapping around the animal's leg. "...Well that backfired."

“ that was a fail actually ” Elena said in complete seriousness once Nightwing’s antics were done. She noticed he was showy and cocky a deadly combination when it came to battles like this she would have to let Batman know that he needed to keep a look out for Nightwing. Deciding she was done watching from the sidelines Elena ran up to the crocodile and jumped letting herself temporarily fly to send a kick to the face or jaw of the beast. Not missing a beat Elena brought a her elbow back before switching to punch him in the side of his face, it wouldn’t be all that effective against his reptile skin but it would hurt a little hopefully.
Then Killer Croc brought his claws down slicing at Elena forcing her to the ground his jaws hovering over her prepared to take a bite out of Batwoman. Elena timed it just right when his mouth came down to bite her Elena kneed him in the jaw then kicked him in the chest hard forcing him off of Batwoman.

"You go, Batwoman!" Jake cheered and ran and jumped towards Croc. He kicked the reptile in the face and then he made another plan. He twirled his staff so the bottom was facing the animal and Jake jabbed the amphibious animal in the eyes with the staff. Killer Croc stumbled backwards and looked around, obviously blind.
Jake tripped him and looked at Batwoman. "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!" He yelled and strapped the animal down, and kicked it in the chest.

Elena shook her head she didn’t know how Jake was allowed to work on his own; let alone lead a team of fellow teenage superheroes. Still Elena took the chance that Nightwing had given her she kicked Killer Croc in the face once more then with one final but major blow to the face the animal was down for the count. Sighing Elena moved away from Killer Croc looking for something to use to bind him till Arkham Asylum workers could come and pick him up she searched her utility belt and found handcuffs that were much too small to fit Killer Croc instead she pulled out a rope with a bat a rang at the end of it to tie him up. Usually it was used to scale buildings but it would have to make due for now until something more suitable was found.
Then Batwoman turned to Jake her cape was around her shoulders like a cloak of some sort and too be honest she wasn’t pleased with her nephew.
“Roof now” Elena ordered using her grappling hook to get to the roof that they had come entered from she didn’t need the bank employees or Gotham police to hear what she had to say to her ‘darling’ nephew. Once she reach the roof and was sure that they would be hidden by the darkness of the night Batwoman turned to face Nightwing.
“Answer me this Nightwing? Do you think this is a game or something? You can’t just show off at things like this and now expect to get hurt eventually” Batwoman scolded seriously.

As she arrested the animal and told him to get to the roof he frowned. He shot his grappling gun at the ceiling and zipped up. When she turned and faced him, Batwoman barked, "Answer me this Nightwing? Do you think this is a game or something? You can’t just show off at things like this and now expect to get hurt eventually." He looked back at her.
"Batwoman, this is my way of having the childhood most kids have, while having the one I have. I don't know much kids who go home, put on a costume and go and fight a giant, mutated, overgrown reptile and then have to get up for school in 4 hours!" Jake told her then added, "I'm sorry I have a little fun in this. And maybe I'll learn my lesson the hard way, but I'll learn it. Sooner or later." Nightwing yelled and turned his back to watch the team of police, SWAT, and Arkham officers run in to arrest Croc.

Elena sighed she could understand Nightwing’s point of view on things but it wouldn’t hurt him to be a little bit more mature and serious on the subject. To be honest Nightwing hadn’t exactly proved to her that he would be able to take care of himself out alone will fighting crime without someone there.
“Look I understand where you’re coming from but you can’t take the entire rogues gallery alone and you can’t exactly handle yourself without someone there to watch your back…you ever consider working with an older more experienced hero like a mentor? I mean your father worked with…the first Batman maybe our Bats will be willing to take you in and show you the ropes” Elena said purposely skirting around using Bruce Wayne or her father in the conversation. She didn’t consider Bruce Wayne to be a parent simply because he was never there whether he wanted to be or not. Though still she meant what she said, she didn’t want to see Jake hurt whether she considered him to be family or not.

Jake looked at Elena with a weird expression. "Batman is Will Todd. We both know that. His father and my father hate eachother, and we carried it on in our blood. He can't stand me, I can't stand him. Simple." Jake told her. Maybe if he had a mentor he might learn something, but he couldn't work with his family. They're to much alike, he'll end up fighting with them. "My dad helped me enough." Jake told her and stood their, to await her response. He looked down and saw police checking out their bikes, and seeing if they could figure out the identities of Batwoman and Nightwing.
Jake grunted and threw a wingding at ground around the bikes and watched as they jumped back. "That was so we could continue our career. Don't yell at me for that." Jake instructed her.

Elena felt her eyebrow rise when Jake told her that the new Batman was Will Todd…she and Batman that meant…oh she was going to need therapy after this. Shaking her head slightly Elena returned her attention to Jake rather than the fact of her mild flirtation during her first meeting with Batman. She let Jake rant and sighed, she didn’t want to offend Jake…well actually she didn’t really care if he was offended as long as he took what she was trying to tell him into consideration.
“I wasn’t trying to yell at you Nightwing I just want you to be more observant the last thing that anyone wants is a dead teenager on their hands” Elena said sternly she was standing by her decision and she hoped that Jake would see what she was trying to tell him. Hopefully her worry wasn’t falling on deaf ears, she already had enough memories of coming into homes that had deceased children or ones that were terribly abused she didn’t want to see Jake being delivered to Gotham Pee Dee headquarters in a body bag.
