Lex merely smiled at her comment, keeping calm. He had to remember that jealously could easily turn the Joker's favor against Luthor; the Clown Prince of Crime had a reputation for attacking allies that rub him the wrong way even slightly... Look at what happened to Scarecrow. And Iron Cross. And Psimon. And Gorilla Grodd. "Of course he is. He's dedicated his life to it. I, on the other hand, have other, more alien, matters to which I normally put forth my attentions. However, as I don't see anyone flying about with a big red 'S' on their chest, I'm rather available at the moment."
The Joker started, "Just remember, Lexie..."
"You get to kill him, I know," Lex finished. The clown was too predictable when it came to the Bat Family.
"By the way, Lexie, the girl's of some interest to me. I think she's hiding something..."
"Well, there's a couple ways we could find out..."
"She's from Gotham, too."
"So you're going to want to kill her once you find out, as well."
"Naturally. It IS my city, after all."
"As I remember you saying back on the prison planet. All right, then."
The Ace of Knaves chuckled. "Well... Looks like little Spoilsport's in trouble... Heh heh heh heh heh..."

A low voice said coldly, "Or not." The next second, a rather painful shock of electricity shot through the Joker's cuffs. It wasn't as bad as the shock that had knocked him out before, but it would definitely be enough to stun him for a few minutes. Gossamer's cuffs, which were now lying on the concrete, sparked harmlessly.

"YEEEAARRGGH!!!" The shock went through the Joker's body, dropping him to his knees. "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..."
"I gave you a chance..." Lex said, then pressed a button on the battlesuit. Fire shot out of the nozzle, with Lex intending to burn the hero-types.

Batman slid down so that his feet actually touched the ground, caught the girl around the waist, and jetted off, barely missing the spout of flame. A second later, the two of them had disappeared into the rafters.

Rosie backed away nervously and watched the bat jet off into the rafters.
"Rosie, go back inside." Gossamer repeated, forcing herself to her feet.
Rosie took a quick glance at her, back at the rafters, then took off towards the stairs again.

Spoiler  Spoiler looked from Joker to Lex. She was planning her great escape that wasn't really coming together with two foes unless she could avoid one's attack and have it hit the other. Joker had no regard for life, why would his new friend? Then she felt the boy on her shoulders move again. She went to move him so he might not freak out when she heard a loud sound of Joker yelling. She turned towards him and turned back to see flames coming at her. She started to pull up her cape as a defence and a distraction so she could move out of the way and possibly get Joker burned possibly and have that be the new conflict, not her and the bat. Then suddenly she felt the arm jerk and she was moving fast. She grabbed onto the bat as he jetted and held on to him. Her mind wondered slightly at it possibly being Tim. She was quite as she whispered. "Thanks, we should get out of here so I can help you with those wounds."

Terry tried to focus his blurring eyes enough to land on one of the beams, and managed. Barely. Leaning back against one of the metal supports, he regarded the girl through wary, half closed eyes. He wasn't going anywhere with her until he knew who she was. She'd saved him--that much was clear-- but why?

Spoiler Spoiler looked at the boy consurned. Maybe he wasn't Tim, the thought saddened her. It showed on her faceb below the hood. Wait, Tim thought she was dead, spoiler, robin, stephanie were all dead. Maybe it still was him. Maybe he...she snapped her head out of the what ifs. "Can you walk?...if...if you can you can follow me out and we can go from there...If not...you can put one of those cuffs on one hand and...you can shock me if you need to." Spoiler looked back at him with wide eyes.

Okay, now he was pretty sure that she was honestly interested in keeping him safe... In fact, something about her tone of voice made him think that she was a little too interested in keeping him safe. He regarded her for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm not who you think I am," he told her finally, his whisper a little hoarse. He wasn't having her get killed trying to save someone who wasn't even in the building.

Spoiler Spoiler looked at him almost angry with his tone. "I know your not batman...your much to young to be batman...just trust me, I am only here to help..." She said quietly as she looked at him. "If we wanted people to know who we were we wouldn't wear masks..." she added. It was time for one of those moumental speaches she always got when she was training with Bruce. "And why does it matter who I think you are...doing what's right is right regardless of who its for, and your hurt, don't let pride stop you from accepting help...trust me...that's not the way..." Spoiler looked down then back up at him. Her eyes were starting to tear up. She wasn't expecting a bat to talk down to her like this when she was just trying to save him so early in the trip.

"Don't cry," he told her flatly. He could not deal with her crying. Not on top of the Joker. No way. She didn't get it; he was Batman. That was precisely the point. His hurt too much to explain that just then, though, and his thoughts were too fuzzy and incoherent. He knew enough about medicine to know that he probably had a really, really bad concussion... Which meant... what again?
Closing his eyes briefly, he tried to focus. "Watch them," he told her slowly, making a concerted effort to keep his thoughts in a line as he gave her directions. "And tell me exactly what they're doing." His eyes still wouldn't focus, so she would have to see for him.

Spoiler Spoiler looked at him mad now. "I wasn't going to cry..." She said with an angry low tone of her own. She looked down below them at the figures they had jetted away from. "Sure do spout orders like him...." She said in a rough still angry voice mostly to herself. She looked between both him and the two downstairs. "You need medical attention...let me help you...going in a coma here won't help anyone..." She said gently towards him. There were deep concern in her voice as she spoke then looked again back at the figures below. She felt an emptyness that filled the pit of her stomach. She wished something simple like just helping him get better would be enough. She didn't want to try to take on the Joker, his crazy kid, whoever that girl was and whoever flame thrower man was with a half dieing partner who seemed to trust her but not want her opinion. He did act a lot like Batman but there were differences too. She wondered if it was just years of working with him or did he find a way to make a robot him or something, if he had wouldn't it have been heavier she thought. Her own thoughts were random as she started to quetion who this boy really was.

Terry actually chuckled before he could stop himself. Just a little. Not good. Still, it was pretty obvious that she knew the old man... But he didn't sound like him! ... Did he? God, he hoped not. Focus. "That's one of... two exits..." he murmured, forcing himself to speak in what seemed like a fairly coherent way, "And the other one is blocked off. We can't just blow a hole in the roof; the structure is unstable. In other words..." He paused, trying to remember what his original point had been. Oh, right. "If we want out, we need to go past them."

Spoiler Spoiler looked back at him. She had an idea. "Do you have something with an eletric current?....maybe even those cuffs depening on what voltage they are..." She looked at him then back down below again. If she could recharge the batteries for her cloaking device maybe she could clear the way. And at least that would get them out of the building. Between that and the cuffs to zap Joker that should cover all bases. She thought as she watched to see how the people below were interacting.

Lex frowned, scanning the air. After a moment, he realised that they didn't just fly off; of COURSE they didn't, they were Bats, not Kryptonians. They had to have gone inside somewhere. Luthor said, "I'll get them..." Then, the thrusters on the battlesuit roared slightly louder, giving him some forward thrust, enabling him to hover forward, scanning the area for any sign of the two heroes. Entering the warehouse like that, he pressed a button on his chestplate, activating a flashlight function on one of the side neckplates, illuminating the way. He then looked to the left and right, then finally looked up, remembering the grappling lines that the Bat was known for.
