Rainy Night Redemption

The rain poured down.

On the edge of a tall building, two figures leaped and darted through the rain, locked in a fierce battle.

The figure wearing a red helmet moved swiftly, a flash of cold light in his hand, and several darts shot towards his opponent like lightning.

Batman reacted swiftly, raising his black cape like a giant wing unfurling in the night sky, and precisely deflected the dart.

"Jason, stop, I'm here to help you."

There are very few people in this world that Batman cannot find. After returning to Gotham, he stayed up all night and found his adopted son in just three days.

The second Robin, Jason Todd.

The Red Hood remained silent for a moment, then removed his mask, revealing a young boy.

He threw the helmet on the ground, and it rolled all the way to a stop in front of Batman.

"Help me? If you really wanted to help me, why did you find a replacement? Why didn't you kill the Joker? Why did you only find me after I was dead!"

Red Hood's voice echoed in the torrential rain, carrying endless questions and pain.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, its pale light instantly illuminating the area.

Jason was startled; he saw raindrops sliding down Batman's chin.

Was he crying? A flicker of doubt crossed Jason's mind, but he quickly dismissed the idea. How could that be?

He's Batman, the Dark Knight who can never be defeated.

After a moment of silence, Batman spoke, "I'm sorry, but I tried my best to save you, Jason."

"Save me, but save yourself first."

Red Hood sneered, pulled out a button, and pressed it.

Beep beep beep.

The helmet at Batman's feet rang.

He was kicked away and fell face down.

Sky explodes.

When Batman looked up again, he saw Red Hood receding into the distance.

They gave chase.

The two fought their way from the edge of a tall building into a dimly lit toilet.

In the cramped space, the sounds of fists and feet clashing rang out continuously, sounding particularly intense as rain poured in through the broken windows.

Batman delivered a powerful flying kick, sending Red Hood flying.

Red Hood crashed heavily into the wall, landing face down on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"I have to say, no matter which world you're in, your parenting skills are just as terrible."

An unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out.

Batman and Red Hood then realized that there were other people in the room.

"Demon King, why are you here?"

"Who are you?"

Both of them frowned simultaneously.

One reason is that the Demon King did not leave this world.

Another one, this was his safe house, but it has been found by someone else.

"Because before I left, I remembered there was one last thing I needed to do."

After Kino finished speaking, he opened the door to the side.

The Joker was tied to a chair.

"Hahahaha, Batman, do you like this surprise? This kid went through all the hardships of crawling out of hell to throw this wild party. Who brought a camera? Let me take a picture with them first, hahahaha!"

A shrill laugh echoed throughout the room.

Click, click, click!

A barrage of flashes startled the Joker's eyes, causing him to squint.

"Why aren't you smiling anymore? You'll rarely be able to laugh this happily again."

Kino looked at the photos taken with his camera; no matter how he took them, they all looked ugly. The Joker in this world were truly ugly.

"Who are you, a reporter? Oh God, Batman, your identity has been exposed! Kill him!"

The Joker kept urging Batman on.

Let me see what I should choose for you.

Four points of light appeared in Kino's hand and instantly disappeared into the Joker's body.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh--"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the room.

"Stop!"

Batman pulled out his Bat-dart to stop him.

"You're the one who should stop!"

Red Hood tackles Batman, and the two roll around on the ground.

Soon, Batman defeated Red Hood once again and approached the Joker to begin his examination.

Fine?

There were only some superficial wounds.

And he was asleep.

"Don't worry, I won't kill the Joker, never."

Kino smiled slightly.

What did you do to him?

Batman discovers that he can't wake the Joker no matter what he does.

"It's nothing, just stuffing the souls of a sloth, a koala, a dormouse, and a brown bat into his soul. I don't know when he'll wake up."

Batman remained silent.

The souls of the four animals with the longest sleep durations will never wake up in this lifetime.

"Haha, Batman, are you going to hire a caregiver for him? Or will you take care of him yourself?"

Red Hood laughed loudly.

What's the difference between Joker and someone who's dead?

"Kid, here, consider this a gift from your uncle."

Kino tossed a tablet over and disappeared.

Batman raised his hand, intending to intercept it, but then gave up.

Red Hood took the tablet, which displayed a video of Batman.

(Have you ever cried in your life? Twice. Once when I was ten, my parents were beaten to death by robbers, and the second time my adopted son was killed by Joker.)

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside Red Hood.

It turns out that this seemingly indestructible man could also cry over his own death.

"Tch, boring."

Despite saying that, Red Hood carefully put the tablet away and walked towards the door.

"Remember to come home on Sunday. Alfred misses you."

Batman watched him walk past him and said something.

"..."

Red Hood didn't speak, quickened his pace, and disappeared into the darkness.

Puzanov

The invasion crisis in this world has only just begun.

Parademons surged forth, crashing into the world of the heroes.

"Fuck, Batman, is this how you keep the Mother Box safe?!"

Hal Jordan angrily cursed.

A row of heavy machine guns materialized, their green bullets tearing apart the Parademons in the sky.

"Focus."

Batman, driving the Batmobile, dodged attacks while watching Steppenwolf collect Mother Box in the distance.

Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg are constantly trying to stop the Mother Box from merging.

"Dedicate this world to Darkseid."

The three Mother Box in front of Steppenwolf had transformed into polygons, rotating irregularly, with mysterious energies constantly intertwining, and were about to completely merge.

"Barry, move out."

Batman pressed the button in his hand.

"They've arrived."

A yellow bolt of lightning streaked from afar like a shooting star, instantly passing through everyone and arriving in front of the Mother Box.

The Flash, Barry, poured all the lightning he had accumulated into the Mother Box, and at the same time, the pre-installed program was activated.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Mother Box began to vibrate.

Cracks began to spread across the surface.

"Damn it, what have you done!"

Steppenwolf swung his axe, but Barry was already far away.

His mission is complete.

"Retreat!"

Bruce gave the order.

The others also noticed the abnormality in the Mother Box and rushed outside without saying a word.

Only the Parademons and Steppenwolf remained in place.

"No, no, no..."

Steppenwolf stared in terror at the Mother Box, its cracks spreading ever wider.

Just as the last crack appeared in the Mother Box, a dazzling white light burst forth.

The Sound Burst Channel was opened, emanating a powerful suction force that continuously devoured nearby Parademons and buildings.

Hal looked at the collapsed building behind him and asked in confusion.

What did you do?

Batman calmly drove the car.

"I simply found the coordinates of Apokolips, switched the positions of the passageways, and left them a little gift along the way. It's that simple, isn't it?"

"It's not simple at all, you freak."

Hal said, but he was also completely convinced of Batman's abilities.
