Cade gave an irritated moan and leaned up from his reclined position inside a black 1971 Mercury Cyclone. The car had seen better days; rust spots were apperaing on the body, an obnoxious crack ran diagnoally across the windsheild, and Cade was pretty sure that the sputtering engine was going to give out any day now. But those and the many other flaws the thirty year old car had didn't bother Cade at all right now. The only thing that made him want to scrap the car was the static now coming through on the radio.

The blond blindly flung a hand forward to find the dial in the dark car, twisting it in every way imaginable, trying to find a twinge of something even resembling music. "C'mon..." He muttered, quietly willing the radio to pick up signal. Purely out of frustreation he pounded his fist on the dash over the radio, silencing the static completely.

His frusterations weren't purely because of the aging electronics. Oh no, they went much deeper than that. It wasn't in the detective's idea of a great night off to sit parked in his car outside some stupid 'Better Earth' research facility watching for what ever dumb kids kept burgalrizing the place. He'd gotten the call about an hour ago that most of the police staff was working a robbery and they needed him to steak-out this lab. Oh, he'd complained at first, wondering why they didn't dump the newbie that Max kid on this job, but he'd lost in the end.

And now, here he sat. In darkness and in silence, watching the dim and empty sidewalk for anyone who might spice up his night.

Batgirl Barbara Gordon

Batgirl glared at the woman in front of her trying her best not to shout at her "Why would I be scared for the dark?" She had responded as if it were on queue the darkness and the object hitting her threw her off guard. "What the?!"She added as she finally began to dodge things that were flying at her from every direction. She threw her bat bola in the last direction she saw that woman run off in. Her annoyance now becoming a bit more evident.

"This must be related to the fear toxin in some way.." She said aloud as she tried to think of away to make some progress. She pulled out a small digital camera from her pouch as she dodged another stapler aimed for her head again and began taking random pictures in the direction the objects came from. Of course! She thought in her mind as she finally got over the initial shock of things flying at her. "It's all from a movie.." She whispered to herself as she glared ahead the lighting in the room seemed to return to normal once you figured out the truth. "Come out come out where ever you are.." She called out her voice sounding sickly sweet. "You love horror movies don't you.. Your oh so very lucky that I'm also a big movie Junkie. My name is Batgirl not Bat-Lady and we will become very close soon."She added as she realized the woman's power. This woman had the power to recreate images.

Everybody scream.


She frowned, listening to the woman speak. She‘d figured it out, but that didn‘t mean she could do anything to stop it. Her ghost disguise kept her from sight.
“Not if you never see me.” She called, her voice distorted by the disguise. Batgirl had already hear her accent once, but she wanted to try and disguise it to conceal her identity.
“If you know so much about the movies, then you know what happens to the people in them. I have been so kind as to only use the fear, but I can just as easily make them exactly the same. I can make them real. I can make them kill you.”

Recreating all these scenes was making her tired. Still she felt she had enough in her for at least one more happening…
The wall behind Batgirl suddenly sprang to life. Needles shot from it, creating a scene reminiscent of a Saw film.
“So I suggest you leave me alone!”

Robin continued to watch over the woman who seemed to have gotten in over her head. This became particularly evident when she started shadow boxing in the middle of an empty bank. Under different circumstances he would have been quite amused, especially when she threw her bolas and hit a lamppost with it. "Oh that criminal post is in for it now," joked Robin under his breath, he gave his head a shake in hopes of keeping his head clear. Robin found it quite impressive that Batgirl as he had named herself had worked out the tone of this new villain's theatrics in such a situation all though that hadn't helped her very much. Luckily because this villainies didn't know Robin was there he had been spared the effect but he still hadn't gotten a good look at the enemy yet.


“I can make them kill you, so I suggest you leave me alone!”


That was all Robin needed to hear, he watched the criminal's position carefully. The trick was that he was on the other side of bright light so that it was easy to see what was going on but the shadow behind the light was hardest to find him in. In those months of working with Batman he had learned many things, and a lot of them were only proven through experience. He fired his grappling line and attached it to his utility harness. Robin waited for his moment and leapt on that mark. As he jumped from his hiding place he threw his cape up to either side of him. That was when the line took hold and he swung down for a kick. This all created the effect that he was ridding on a pair of wings, not to mention creating a very large shadow. Robin's entire image became eclipsed as the light fell behind him. Robin went to drop on top of Ms. Vivienne and hoped to knock her out without too much trouble but things were rarely that simple. "Oh I don't know, I think it's more fun to have company," said Robin once he'd landed. He had already disconnected the line and was crouched with his cape fallen around him. As he straightened up his cape clung still hiding his body from view but there was no hiding his height. His cape to swayed a little as turned to see the effect his surprise attack had on his target. In spite of his height Robin usually frightened his share of bad guys although it wasn't uncommon for them to assume he was no threat because he was a kid.

Batman crouched on top of the Northwest gargoyle of Wayne Enterprizes. The giant bat in the sky was all he needed to know that something was wrong, but he was having difficulties concentrating on his task - which was extemely dangerous. If he wasn't completely committed, or he would be a danger not only to himself but to any innocents involved. Finally, after a long minute and a half, he turned and leapt off the building, his cape flaring to slow his descent. His feet touched lightly down on the ground outside the building in question, and he stealthily stepped inside. A new, work-in-progress device was placed over his mouth - it looked like a regular old piece of cloth, but Alfred had modified it to block out all but oxygen and carbon-dioxide. His footsteps were silent as he crept up towards Batgirl and Robin, coming up to stand between them and a few feet behind them.

"You shouldn't have come alone - either of you." He grumbled, his voice unnaturally deep. "Had either of you been compromised it would have made this a lot more difficult." He glanced from one to the other, then stepped up so he was level with them. His height towered over them, mainly Robin. His shoulders were pulled back proudly, pulling open the front of the cape a few inches. "Now," he started, adjusting the latex. "What seems to be the problem?" he rasped, peering into the dark. He couldn't see her entirely, merely a profile, but it was enough; he was unaware of all that had happened, and he had to wonder what he'd missed.

Cadaver held her post around the corner from the action, listening intently to the scene taking place. At the first sound of that French accent, a sick smile curled up on the young woman's face. She could recognize that ridiculous accent anywhere. The newspapers occasionally referred to the young woman as the Scream. And though she and Cadaver had yet to officially exchange formalities, she knew the other girl well.

At least twice Frenchie had caused weeks of target stalking to go to waste. Once when she was targeting a young couple and their toddler and another time with a couple of young hooligans. Riley wasn't one who enjoyed having her fun ruined by some foreigner. So, she decided to ruin the fun the Bankrobber was having now. She just didn't know how.

Cadaver took a daring glance 'round the corner, looking for her French friend, but instead her eyes found a trio of masked vigilantes. A frown formed slightly on her lips. A little revenge against the Scream wasn't worth getting sent back to Arkham over, but...

Robin cast a fearsome presence even as he stood there but as he looked around his narrowed eyes widened. Another shadow had appeared, larger and darker then him. He moved his arms out to the side sweeping his cape behind him again. "Uh-oh," he said taking two steps back. Even being Batman's partner, Robin was still intimidated by him and because they were so close he could read the subtle expressions in Batman's scowl which told him that he was in trouble. Robin walked over to him using his cape to protect himself from the gas although it had thinned a lot already. As Batman tightened his gaze Robin pulled away a bit. "Bank robbery, which this Bat impersonator tried to handle but the perpitrator had a trick up her sleave so I deside to step in too," explained Robin timidly, which he followed up with a grin and a nervous laugh, "but hey, look on the bright side at least this one isn't carrying a shot gun."

Batgirl's eyes widened as she looked back after she heard what the woman said. 'They could kill but I won't let it..' She thought as she prepared herself. She looked back in the direction the voice came from as she saw what looked like a big bird soar across the room. the new distraction in front of her made her ignore the Wall. A smaller figure was in front of her and that woman not far from it. She frowned a bit because she was expecting Batman. No sooner had that thought been in her mind that she noticed Batman near Robin. She listened in on the exchange between the bat and the bird and decided to get out before the boy could poke even more fun at her. A scowl on her face as she turned away from the two of them and deiced she should leave before a scolding. "Next time I can handle it on my own." She hissed as she ripped her gas mask from her face in annoyance. She tossed the mask to the ground and darted out of the building.

The police scanner in her ear buzzed with excitement as the officers finally began to arrive near the bank. Before she fled the scene completely Commissioner Gordon had just stepped out of the car. She had locked eyes with him and quickly launched the grapple gun into the air and swung off.

Batgirl had just stood near her idol but she didn't want to let that fog up her mind right now she needed to get people off her trail. She deiced that going around in circles was just necessary precaution to insure that no one surprised her once she got home. She snuck into the vacant apartment and removed both the mask that was on her face before flopping onto her bed with a thud. 'Well..' She thought as she looked around her room. "All I can say is that it was a good day..."She whispered to herself as she glared at the buzzing phone on the nightstand. She ignored it and rolled onto her back the scanner still shouting into her ear.

She pulled herself off the bed and changed into her pajamas her hair now pulled into a ponytail as she moved towards the window. The signal still lit meaning there was more stirring than what was reported.

Batman smiled crookedly, though it wasn't visible behind the mask. "I suppose," he started, peering into the shadows once more. "But then again, there's a gas that brings your worst nightmare to life." He took a step back, surveying the scene thoughtfully. He could hear the sirens and knew the police would be closing in fast, surrounding the building. He was vaguely aware of the imposter fleeing the scene and had to wonder if she wasn't such a vigilante, but more of an imposter. He wasn't sure what to think about having her out on the streets at night, utilizing his gadgets and Alfred's ingenius inventions.

"Robin, any ideas on how to bring this one down?" He asked, glancing at his 'sidekick' curiously. He stepped sideways, widening his stance and tilting his head to get a better view into the darkness. "Who are you?" He called loudly, wondering just who this new villainness was.

[Vivienne]
Everybody scream.


Vivienne was more than ready to unleash a good many more horrors upon the legion of Batpeople, however she stopped herself when she noticed how young one of them was. Possibly just a year older than Astor. If there was one thing she couldn’t quite bring herself to do, it was harm a child. An odd trait given her profession, but she’d only begun work with Dr. Crane out of a need to support her ailing brother.

She’d have to make a run for it and try again later. The money she’d pocketed wasn’t nearly enough.

Neither the boy or the man seemed to have a camera, so she was safe. As safe as one could manage in her position, at least. Time for one last scare, then she was out.

One of the computers behind the counter sprang to life. It played images, scenes quickly from assorted horror movies, static flashes.

I am Scream.

Said an eerie, distorted voice.

She took off down the hallway, turning corners with expert ease. Once she reached the back wall, she’d phase through it like in the movie.

But as she ran she saw someone.

Cadaver.

Harley giggled as the plan played out in her head. Whenever they were going to torment little Batty, Harley always was always a little impatient and extremely excited. "I love playin' 'Guess What, Joker?'!"

Harley quickly got the cameras ready. She set them up so that once she started filming, any other TV program that was being watched at that moment would cut out and change to this frequency. "Alright puddin' we're all set. Three, two, one, action!"

"Yeah well, we have the other one to thank for the gas bombs," said Robin, trying to explain about the other woman. "She's right here," said Robin wheeling his cape around and he turned to point behind him, "hey, where'd she go?" The woman seemed gone without a trace, Robin spun his head from side to side searching for the woman that he had dropped on top of recently be he could find not trace of her. "Robin, any ideas on how to bring this one down?" came the voice of his mentor, and this served to calm Robin's frustrations a little. "You got me, I thought she was down the last time," said Robin, he gave up trying to find her and mimicked his mentors calm and controlled posture.

"Who are you?" called Batman, into the dark. "I am Scream," said an eerie, distorted voice. "I am, the scream," mimicked Robin making a joke of it. At almost that moment the light of a flashlight fell on them. "Over here," called a policeman after seeing two strange figures. The sound of rapid footfalls echoed through the air, slowly drawing nearer. "Ah well, looks like the party's over, and here comes the clean up crew," said Robin taking hold of his grapple line and attaching it to his utility harness.

With a push of a button Robin zip lined straight to the roof. He quickly recollected his line and gave his muscles a quick rub as his arms were falling asleep. Robin yawned; he couldn't help it he had been up and around all day. Robin felt that he caught a disapproving glance from Batman, "What? Not all of us have the luxury of sleeping until three pm, you know?" said Robin defensively trying to stifle another yawn. "I suppose we should see what the commissioner wants before calling it a night, huh Batman?" asked Robin hopefully, his voice having recaptured his usual energy, "By the way, weren't we supposed to go to some party tonight?"

He only smiled as the cameras went on. "Good evening, soon to be doomed people of Gotham. I'm the man you all mocked but now, its time to play a little game called, guess what joker." he said and pulled out a deck of cards. "In my hand contains the image of every important person in gotham. I'll pull out a few cards and lay them face down." he said and place 3 on the desk. "Look who I picked up first." he said with a twisted smile and showed the card.

"Old Comissioner Gordan, how I do hate you." he said, his voice becoming dark and twisted again. "You and batty always putting me away, for what? A few minor complaints? Guess what, I'm back n better than ever but for one reason, to rule this city with an iron fist." he pulled what appeared to be a normal looking pen. "If batty doesn't show up in person, then I'll blow up these 2 other fine people." he said and showed 2 people tied up and gagged. "And Gordy, don't attempt to bring your little police force into this, only batman is allowed in." he said.

Batman raised an eyebrow at Robin, but didn't follow his lead to the roof; he stayed on the ground, turning to confront the tardy police force that finally showed up. "The robber escaped, but not with much. At the next robbery, bring gas masks," he started, and proceeded to fill them in on what he knew. "Next robbery? You mean you expect more?" One man asked; he had a small notebook in his hands and Batman turned to the head of the squad. "New guy?" He asked, his voice laced with humor. The man smiled sheepishly and tucked the book away, his pen disappearing. From down the hall, a young runner came sprinting towards them.

"Batman," he gasped urgently. The Dark Knight's face immediately fell into an image of concern. "The news van - the television's screwing up - Joker," he panted, gasping every few words. He had obviously sprinted as fast and hard as he could. Batman didn't waste any time. The moment the man had said 'Joker', he had set off down the hall. "Robin, tell them what you know," he said over his shoulder, before he disappeared like a black shadow through a door. Within moments, he made it to the van with the television set, just in time to catch Joker mid-speech.

"That man certainly likes to hear himself talk," Batman commented on the Joker as he watched the broadcast, much to the bitter amusement of the few crew members inside. He was faced with a dilemma, knowing that to go alone would be pure stupidity. "Get Gordon on the phone," he snapped his fingers, and immediately the cheif of the police crew set off in search of a phone. "GCPD?" Batman said into the reciever, wondering if the commissioner had seen the news yet.

Robin was moderately hurt that Batman didn't follow him. Wasn't it their policy to have as little to do with the police as possible? "What's next? Batman and Robin on public access?" said Robin before swinging down the fire escape and waiting above the police commotion. The fact was that Tim's father was one of the many corrupt cops that make up Gothem's police force so he didn't have any trust in them. "Robin, tell them what you know," said Batman. "Hmph, a lot of good that's gonna do," said Robin pouting a little. He jumped down allowing his cape to surround him completely. "Ok," he said with a sigh, "get a pen... You're looking for a woman, about 5"6, French accent. With an apparent penchant for bad movies and carrying an abundance of Dr. Crane's fear inducing drug."

Having rattled off a list of all the details he noticed before the woman escaped Robin strolled over to the van still wrapped in his cape.
"That man certainly likes to hear himself talk," Robin heard Batman comment. "The Joker?" Robin exclaimed as he saw the face on the screen, "Cool!" Robin listened to the end of the threat and felt a little left out. "Come alone? What am I? An accessory?" he asked sounding a little hurt. "Hey guy play it back from the beginning, would you?" requested Robin. Although Robin was an inexperienced fighter he was a practiced detective, but it was still one of many skills developing under Batman's tutelage.

"Old Commissioner Gordon, how I do hate you. You and batty always putting me away, for what? A few minor complaints? Guess what, I'm back n better than ever but for one reason, to rule this city with an iron fist. If batty doesn't show up in person, then I'll blow up these 2 other fine people. And Gordy, don't attempt to bring your little police force into this, only batman is allowed in," said the Joker as the tape played. "Look's like I'll be sitting this one out too," sighed Robin, making sure Batman was able to hear him, "so do you think the other cards are? Mayor Hill and DA Strickland maybe?" The only clues were that the Joker hated them and they were important, a law maker and law enforcer seemed like the obvious choice. "Then again who can tell when the Joker is involved," said Robin, "Hey, uh... Would you guys mind making us a copy of that type?"
