"What the-Ah! Make it stop!!!"
Greed fell over, his ears aching pain and his Symbiote half starting to scream high pitched as well, sending out barbs in reaction as the sonic output was hurting him, but not killing him. Since Greed's suit was made from Rhino's old polymer suit, sonic output could separate them, but it still hurt like nothing else Greed had felt before. Immediately, Greed's playful nature was gone and there was only remorse that Greed wished he had known this kind of thing before; the pain was unbearable to endure yet it didn't stop. Greed eventually passed out, his body laid limp on the floor, but the sonic waves still caused him to twitch like a dead animal. Even in sleep, Greed felt the pain in his nightmares as the sonic output still went. In fact, a tear rolled down Greed's right eye as he slept, the pain clearly visible even in sleep.

Scorpion's eyes shot open when he heard the sonic emitter and looked around. He then remembered where he was and looked at the handcuffs "I hope he really doesn't think that will work." he said as he teleported out of the Batcave.

Batman walked over to the emmitter and turned it off as soon as he was sure that Greed really WAS unconscious, then picked it up and put it bac in his belt. He then turned back to Sapphire Spider and said, "Looks like Scorpion left."

 "Yeah, well at least that's another problem gone for the moment." she replied looking back. "I'm terrible at tracking teleporters."
She turned and glanced back down at Greed, feeling slightly sorry for him. That thing had to be a sonic emitter judging by the way he reacted. She'd never really seen one used on a symbiote, but it was clear that was effective. Well, she couldn't say he wasn't asking for it...Batman really didn't seem like the fooling around type, or being made fun of.
"So what do we do with him?"

Batman looked at Greed again. "We have three options... We try to contain him here, try to contain him in the JLA Sattelite, try to separate the symbiote from the man, or contain himin the Phantom Zone. That last option is only as an absolute last resort, though." He thought for a moment, then continued. "I believe that separation would be the best option."

"Alright, let me know what you need me to do." she replied, crawling down towards him a bit, her strands still hovering around her. He might need them. Plus she wasn't taking the chance of the big guy waking up. Then she paused a moment and glanced around. "Uh, by the way, what happened to Spidey?"

"Uh..."
Greed moaned a bit, but was still asleep, dreaming more pleasant dreams since the loud noise was gone. Aleksei was dreaming of wealth, but not as Rhino or Greed, just himself in a mansion filled with trophies and other things of fortune. All Aleksei ever wanted was to be rich, to have everything he ever wanted and then retire early in life, but he could never obtain such a thing by normal mean since he wasn't a very smart person. When his family back home needed money to travel to America, he abandon his dream of being wealthy through mercenary work and started saving money for his family. When the accident happened, Aleksei had only himself to blame for it. The entire world seemed to be against him: Spiderman thwarted all of his high paying jobs, the ones he did complete only paid enough to live regularly off them, and Aleksei had lost his family. This Symbiote he had acquired was the one thing that went his way for once, the one thing that granted Aleksei want he wanted.
In Aleksei's dreams, he enjoyed everything he wanted, but then a voice form the outside world destroyed it all for him: someone said separation. The world shattered and Aleksei was back in his Rhino suit, sitting in his apartment drinking old vodka while watching TV on a screen with static. Rhino looked around the room and tried to find the Symbiote, but nothing. The dream turned into a nightmare, where Rhino's old life had returned. Aleksei wasn't actually rich in the real world, but the Symbiote made him feel like it and no one was going to take that away from him, no one. Greed started to come back to consciousness, his eyes slowly open as he sat up still half asleep.
"No...It's mine..."

Batman looked at Greed again, and drew out the sonic emmitter again, ready to activate it if he tried anything more than opening his eyes. He moved to Greed's blindside, and gestured for Sapphire to do the same. "Greed, stay where you are, or I'll knock you unconcious again. I have some questions for you, and if you answer them, I'll consider letting you leave here of your own accord. Why did you do this?"

Greed chuckled, laying back down and closing his eyes fully again; trying to avoid startling anyone with his movement. More and more Greed liked the other heroes he has met more than Spiderman; they treated him far nicer despite his low intellect.
"We wanted to kill Spiderman and present his head to Venom! We hate him so...Symbiotes are very territorial and we are tired of him making children and polluting this world with them! My Symbiote was here first and now we want to ruin Venom and all of his offspring, first by proving e could best someone that he could never beat; Spiderman! Though, he is gone and therefore our business is actually done here...You don't accept money, we recall...Then we have a question for you...What is your relations to Bruce Wayne?"
Greed wanted to know desperately why Batman would have his lair connected to Wayne Manor and how the two connected together. With all these facts, Greed was getting a sneaking suspicion that Batman may as well be Bruce Wayne, but there wasn't enough facts to prove it yet.

Sapphire knodded and moved across the wall towards Batman, then jumped off and landed genly behind him. She moved around him a bit to watch and listen to Greed. "So you just decided to say and play around once Spider-Man vanished?" she asked, trying to change the subject a bit. The question Greed asked seemed a bit incriminating.

Greed lost track of his previous question and focused on Sapphire's question; his memory was quite fickle and he forgot things of low interest rather quickly do to how scattered his thoughts were. Greed spoke again and he still kept his back to the floor as he spoke, not making any movement besides him talking.
"Well, yeah! We wanted to test your abilities and ours! We only acquired this suit a few hours ago from that Commissar guy; we both hate him."
The Commissar was both an enemy to Aleksei since he had tried to capture the Rhino and separate him from his suit and an enemy of the Symbiote since the Commissar had kept the creature locked in a container for a long time; both would have killed him, but there was too risky a chance he would retaliate against an assault. The Symbiote knew who the Commissar once was and how dangerous it would be if he was to return as Tec, but Batman didn't really know to ask that question, so Greed would keep hush about it till later on if the threat persisted.

Batman's eyes narrowed when Greed mentioned his alter-ego's name, and was subequently grateful when Sapphire asked her question. He was confused about one part, though. "The Commissar?"

"Yes! We hate him; he will try to separate us! He is useless to us, but so dangerous too! We will speak of him only so you might kill him! The Commissar was once known as Tec, a powerful super being with the power to teleport between the two universes. One day, he was blasted by a being called Radiant in an attempt to destroy the creature Doomsday. The blast sent him to the other universe from where we are from and he slowly started to dwindle away...So he began planting seeds in both universes’ Earths to start the Cold War and the creation of Communism! When Tec was about to die, he found us...Well, me...The other me! The one that makes us a we...Get it? For a time, Tec was known as Terror and soon became known as the Commissar when he trapped the other me in a prison for so long! Now he is brain in a jar here in Gotham, trying to use some plan to bring him back to his old form...Tec...We can't remember too well...Something about Doomsday and Weapon X...The other me can't remember, but we know it started with the other me's old suit! Commissar needed that for some reason..."
Greed hated the Commissar and knew very well he would try to separate him to Aleksei and Symbiote again, so it only helped him be telling Batman who he was in hopes of thwarting his return as Tec. There were other trivial things Greed could tell Batman about Tec's other powers like his mental capacity, but Greed thought that didn’t matter if he was stopped soon. Tec would use his powers to the full advantage to ruin Earth since he meant to do it with every planet he has been on. Tec use to create rebellions and forms of Communism on other worlds to destroy them while he sat back and enjoyed the chaos; Greed didn’t want that to happen to Earth, since that was his territory. Because of the Commissar, the Symbiote wasn't able to snuff out Venom before he made so many offspring, so it made the Commissar one of his most hated enemies.
"He will go after Weapon X first...Since that will be the easiest! He needs blood form Weapon X...Though weapons don't have blood...We don't get it, he kept a lot of secrets from other me."

"And by 'the other you', you mean the symbiote, right?" Batman was pretty sure of that being the case, but he also didn't recall Carnage saying 'we'.

"Could be...We aren't really sure, we share one mind and are one entity! We like being we, not just me...But we as in we are more than one, but yet we are one since we speak together...Confusing isn't it? We don't bother to try to grasp it since we know the answer, but we like mind games! We and by we I mean him wasn't good at mind games...Now we are...Well he is...We both are now! Madness is fun! Not as much fun as money, but we like both too...Both of us that is and both of likings...Likings of the us and the money...I guess three since we like us, madness, and money."
Greed kept rambling on as if the sonic wave from that device had slightly hindered his brain or he was sampling goofing off again since Batman was being less brutal by using that sonic sound thing. Greed liked the way he spoke, he never spoke like that before being just Aleksei and the Symbiote, but together they could create smart stupidity, something Rhino lacked; he was just stupid. Greed finally managed to get the rope thing off his feet, but he still stayed on the ground since Greed only removed it to get more comfortable; since he never got asked questions he could answer as Rhino, he liked he could finally give good answers as Greed.
"To tell what's like, you should get another one of me that makes us we! Though, we won't like you at all since Earth is our territory...We all already have to kill Venom and his kids...Along with Supergirl if she threatens our home...She will eventually."
Greed felt Supergirl's Symbiote wasn't the same as Aleksei’s since it had a different feel of sense then Venom or his offspring, like a different entity, but yet still track able through scent like other Symbiotes. Greed guessed it was the fact all the other Symbiotes besides Supergirl's and Aleksei's were from Venom, giving them similar scents. Then Greed got thinking about how Scorpion would look with a Symbiote since he was even more down the criminal ladder then Rhino was, the inner Greed wanted to give Scorpion Venom’s Symbiote since maybe he would become less pathetic and probably keep better care of the Symbiote and not breed everywhere like Venom did. Though that sounded good, Greed suspected greater powers would create some new Venom out of the old host, but make it lame calling him Anti-Venom, which would be pretty stupid; one Venom is enough. Greed's thoughts were odd, he couldn’t quite grasp why he thought like that, but he pushed those thoughts aside so he wouldn't go crazy; just mad.
"So...Anything else you want to talk about? I bet we can play cards or start a dead pool to see which one of us dies first! That would be awesome...We should get Bruce Wayne to join it! I would love to win that dead pool...So much money…"
Greed started to druel at the mouth as he thought of all the money he could get if Bruce Wayne joined a dead pool, but Bruce Wayne wasn’t even around which disappointed Greed.
