Batfam During Quarantine: 27 Minutes (Remastered)
Batfam During Quarantine: 27 Minutes
Hey, quick heads up, this is a slightly reworked version of the third post I made for this series. My continuity on this series got really messed up for a bit and I have so many drafts that I still have yet to publish so I'm going through all of my old stuff to fix the chronology of the stories and also put a bit more pressure on me to finish this series. Please keep in mind that my writing skills kinda improve throughout the series, but this one has been the most reworked so far, and there is a good chance this will be reworked again in the future.
Dick: Good morning adopted dad!
Tim: Bruce is so stressed out. Yesterday I watched him stare at a page load for 1 second and he screamed his head off. He almost destroyed the computer.
Jason: I literally saw him counting grey hairs the other day. Whatever it is it must be Tim’s fault.
Tim: Don’t you blame this on me....
Dick: *speaks over Tim* Okay so anyway, here’s the challenge, *speaks a bit lower* first person to make Bruce smile gets to drive the Batmobile on their next patrol.
Cassandra: Awesome, how do we decide who.......
Jason: *walks over to Bruce*
Bruce: *glares at Jason while slurping coffee*
Jason: Want some breakfast? *turns on stove* How about some eggs!
Jason: Nothing! Just to see my *pauses a bit* old man smile.
Jason: Loving this new color on you? You should be pissed off all the time.
Jason: Okay......d.....d...da...
Alfred: Don’t burst a blood vessel Jason.
Jason: No, I can do this. Da......d.a....dad *sighs and puts his hand on the stove* AHHH, FUCKER!
Bruce: Jason, are you okay!
Jason: GET AWAY FROM ME, I CAN DO THIS BY MYSELF BRUCE! *quickly runs to the bathroom to run cold water over his hand*
Duke: Well that was entertaining!
Cassandra: *lays head on Bruce’s shoulder and hugs him*
Bruce: *hugs Cassandra back but no smile*
Damian: Father, I brought you a gift. *pulls out a picture of the entire batfamily together*
Bruce: *Bruce smiles* Thanks Damian, that’s really thoughtful of you.
Damian: *turns towards everyone and points* YES SUCK IT LOSERS!
Dick: Okay, so we have reached a low point of criminal activity for Gotham City which is a good thing.
Cassandra: A bit funny how it took a pandemic to make Gotham a bit peaceful.
Dick: Exactly my point. Now, with that said, we will still be doing patrols starting at 11. Tim, this is your week on sanitation duty. Throughout the day we will train a bit harder than normal. There will be scheduled times and you will each have partners. Try to train no less than two and a half hours a day. Training should include sparing, cardio, strength, and tumbling. Try to spar with someone new every week.
Dick: Also Jason, you remember when you said you wish you could fall like me.
Jason: I was being sarcastic.
Dick: I will finally be teaching you how to do pommel horse 1 hour a week like you asked.
Duke: Being honest, I’d like to try high bar and floor. I feel it will be very beneficial for me in the long run.
Dick: Awesome! You got it. Now everyone has until tomorrow to pick their partner, I know my partner will be Jason.
Dick: Also, last thing before I make the training schedules and routines, I need to address something. There are quite a lot of people in Gotham City still refusing to wear mask. During the day lets try to hand out mask with our own designs on them to everyone who we come across during the day. I already ordered them and they should be here by Saturday, so that is something we will be doing starting next week.
*alarm sounds off in the batcave*
Alfred: It would seem there is a fire at Wayne Tower on the thirty-second floor.
Dick: Alright, Duke, Jason, and I will go to check it out. Everyone else do what you would normally do.
Tim: Hey Bruce, I brought you some coffee!
Bruce: How many cups have you had?
Tim: *mumbles* The five cups I had with breakfast.
Tim: Okay so what are we doing?
Bruce: Someone found a weakness in Wayne Tech's firewall and is trying to hack into my server. If they do so they will have knowledge of the companies upcoming projects, along with the identities of our persona’s.
Tim: How long do we have?
Bruce: 27 minutes. Try to locate the hacker.
Nightwing, Red Hood, and The Signal
Nightwing, Red Hood, The Signal: *all pull up on their motorcycles at Wayne Tower*
Fire Marshal: *approaches the three vigilantes* Hey Nightbird....*looks at Red Hood and The Signal* and gang, look, this wasn't a big fire, it was contained very quickly so there's nothing really to worry about.
The Signal: So we’re good to go, awesome!
Fire Marshal: There's not much you can really do, so yeah.
Nightwing: Thank you fire marshal but if you don't mind, we'd like to stick around for the investigation.
Fire Marshal: No, that's not necessary! We have it all covered!
Red Hood: I take it that you haven't been in Gotham for long. It wasn't an offer, it was a statement.
Fire Marshal: *sighs* Very well.
Nightwing, Red Hood, The Signal: *walk into the building and make there way up to the stairs up to the thirty-second floor*
Tim: Nightwing, are you still at Wayne Tower?
Nightwing: Yeah, what’s up?
Tim: We’re dealing with a hacker trying to get into the server at Wayne Inc. We think the hacker is inside the building....
Nightwing: Say no more! We’re on it!
Tim: Find him fast, we have t-16 minutes and 55 seconds to find him!
Fire Fighter: *runs by to a fire truck* Lets go, lets go!
The Signal: What's going on?
Fire Fighter: There’s been another fire across town. Lets move out!
Nightwing: Shit *mumbles under his breath* Okay, Signal, investigate the fire upstairs. Red Hood, search the building, there is a hacker somewhere and we need to find him before he hacks us! I'll go to the next fire!
Nightwing: *bolts out into the stairway towards the ground level* Red Robin, I'm on my way to another fire, Red Hood is in charge of looking for the hacker and Signal is investigating the fire.
Tim: No time! I'll send The Signal to search for the hacker, too! Investigate the fire later!
Tim: Signal, Red Hood! Start looking for the hacker!
Red Hood: Already doing so!
The Signal: But Nightwing said...
Alfred: What are we watching
Julia: Well, I thought that with both of us being former spies, I thought we could watch an American film franchise called Mission Impossible.
Alfred: And tear it apart by it’s inaccuracies!
Alfred: Sounds wonderful!
Harper: I came as fast as I could.
Bruce: Good, set up your computer.
Harper: Why isn’t Alfred helping?
Bruce: Shut up and get to work.
The Signal: Fuck! *runs through and between all of the Wayne Enterprise employees* Sorry, excuse me! Coming through! *keeps searching for someone hunched over their computer* Out of the way! Coming through! I'm so sorry! *makes his way back to the stairs and climbs up to the fortieth floor, opens the door and finds the floor empty, but still hears the sound of a guy typing away* Signal to Red Hood, potential suspect on the fortieth floor!
Red Hood: Copy that, standing by!
The Signal: *turns the corner and gets into a stance*
Hacker 1: *looks over* Ah!
Hacker 2: *jumps up behind The Signal and kicks him in the back*
The Signal: Uck! Red Hood, hackers on the fortieth floor!
Red Hood: *walks on to the twentieth floor and lifts his pistols in the air and fires two rounds* Everybody, go down to the next floor now!
Everyone: *rushes off to the stairs*
Red Hood: *observing everyone that leaves the floor*
The Signal: Signal to Red Hood, potential suspect on the fortieth floor!
Red Hood: Copy that, standing by! *continues to observe the crowd and notices a face* Hey you!
Noah: *looks around and points to himself*
Red Hood: *points* Yeah, you!
Noah: *walks over nervously* Please don't hurt me, I don't want any trouble!
Red Hood: Relax, I'm not going to hurt anyone here. We're just looking for a guy. What's your name?
The Signal: Red Hood, hackers on the fortieth floor!
Red Hood: Gotta go! *pushes through the crowd and runs up the stairs, then enters the door for the fortieth floor*
Hackers 1 and 2: *holding The Signal by his arms and legs*
Red Hood: *raises his pistols and fires a few shots at the hackers, but misses and takes a few heavy breaths* That was a warning shot! Next time I won't miss, drop my partner!
Hackers 1 and 2: *drop The Signal and charge at Red Hood*
Red Hood: *dives out of the way and turns around and shoots the hackers with rubber rounds* You guys probably should have spent less time coding and more time in physical education in high school! *taps his helmet* Red Hood to Bat-cave, we got the hackers!
Tim: Good, now look for a R.A.T.!
Tim: Not an actual rat, a Remote Access Tool!
Red Hood: What's it look like?
Tim: You're looking for a window on the computer or maybe a USB connected plugged into it!
Red Hood: *checks one of the computer screens*
The Signal: *checks the other computer screen*
Red Hood: Nothing out of the ordinary!
Tim: Keep looking, it has to be somewhere!
Red Hood: *keeps looking* Tell Batman he's going to need to buy some new shit for this floor! *starts picking up computers and smashes them to the floor*
The Signal: Red Hood! What are you doing?
Red Hood: Narrowing down our options!
Nightwing: *pulls up with the fire trucks at the apartment complex in flames, hooks up a small oxygen tank to his waist and connects the hose to his mask, then sees a resident waving from the terrace on the third floor, he then rushes over and climbs up each terrace and fires a grappling hook from his escrima stick onto the top of the building* Step over the railing, I got you! *he gestures for the resident to step over*
Resident: *steps over the railing and into Nightwing's arms*
Nightwing: *holds on to his escrima stick which slowly lowers them down he then lets go of the resident*
Resident: *runs to a safe place with the other residents*
Nightwing: *turns the valve and runs inside the building, checking for any other residents stuck inside*
Firefighters: *start spraying the apartment*
Nightwing: *runs up the stairs to where the yelling is coming from and finds a parent lying on the floor unconscious*
Kid: *crying* Help, my.... my...
Nightwing: *kneels down and places a hand on the kids shoulder* Hey, you're dad's going to be okay, but right now we have to get out of here. Okay?
Nightwing: *lifts up the kids dad over his shoulder and carries the kid as he begins to rush down the stairs only to see the stairs going to the first floor are engulfed in flames, then drops the kid and the dad gently against a wall as he grabbed the fire extinguisher and clears a path for them to go down, then lifts the kid and dad back up and runs down the stairs and out of the door*
Paramedic: *runs over with a stretcher*
Nightwing: *helps lay the dad on the stretcher then runs back in, shooting a grappling hook at the roof and reels himself up the stairway, climbing three floors before the ceiling gives way and Nightwing falls*
Batgirl: *reaches out for Nightwing's arm* Ah!
Nightwing: Aren't you a sight for foggy eyes! *reaches up with his other arm up to the railing and crawls over the railing* Are you okay?
Batgirl: *starts to lift a few of the residents* Ow! Come on! We have to get these people to the paramedics!
Nightwing: Go to the fire escape!
Batgirl: Not safe, the metal is starting to bend!
Nightwing: *pushes against the railing he just climbed over* This one is holding! Go check the top floor, if no one is there head down!
Batgirl: *goes up to check the top floor*
Nightwing: *attaches a grappling line to the railing and carries the two other residents reels them all down then races out of the building to meet the paramedics*
Batgirl: *finds one more resident and taps their shoulder* Are you okay?
Resident: *starts to wake* Uhhhh.
Batgirl: *carries the unconscious resident out of the room and reels them both down the building, then racing out of the building to meet with the paramedics*
Harper: Ha! Gotcha sucker!
Bruce: Did you stop them?
Harper: No, but I got their IP Address! Computer is being accessed on the twentieth floor!
Tim: THE HACKER IS ON THE TWENTIETH FLOOR!!!
The Signal: On our way there!
Red Hood and The Signal: *running down the stairs*
The Signal: About what happened.... (being manhandled like a jump rope)
Red Hood: We have bigger problems right now!
The Signal: Right, right!
Jason: *slows down for a second, then races down fast* Shit, I KNOW WHO THAT MAN WAS!
The Signal: *tries to catch up* Red Hood!
Red Hood: *bursts through the door for the twentieth floor and unleashes a primal roar*
Noah: *still sitting down* You're smarter than I remember Red Hood! Don't bother grabbing your guns. I'll be gone before you even fire.
Red Hood: *taps the side of his helmet to send video of the situation to The Signal* The hackers on the fortieth floor, they were...
Noah: Yes, just a distraction! Really impressed by your physicality by the way, but I sure bet you are exhausted right now.
Red Hood: I can still take you out!
Noah: No you can't. Hans!
The Signal: *turns invisible and sneaks past Hans and Red Hood, then approaches Noah and bashes the laptop with his escrima sticks*
The Signal: *kicks Noah and whacks him a few times with his escrima sticks*
Red Hood: *knocks his head against Hans' head*
Hans: *lets go of Red Hood and stumbles back*
Red Hood: *turns then kicks Hans' chest, then reaches forward and tases Hans*
The Signal: *becomes visible and ties up Noah*
Red Hood: *ties up Hans* Have I ever mentioned how impressive your meta-human abilities are?
The Signal: You can mention it more, I can use the ego boost!
Red Hood: We captured The Calculator and his goons, how is it on your end Red Robin?
Tim: All clear over hear! Nice work guys!
Alfred, Julia, Stephanie, Cassandra, and Selina
Alfred: Why would he choose the safe house. If this were reality Ethan would have already been arrested.
Stephanie: Alfred, we love you to death, but your ruining an amazing movie.
Julia: The movie ruined itself by it’s inaccuracies. Plus this is our bonding time, you guys weren’t even invited!
Selina: Yeah, but you guys took the only copy and once we saw you watching it, we just really wanted to watch it, too.
Harper: Oh, cool! Mind if I join?
Alfred: *sighs* The more the merrier.
Nightwing: Gotcha Jay, thanks for the info! Alright, our guy lives in apartment 22 on 1807 Zics Street. Let’s head there now and see if we can find him.
Batgirl: Want to get something to eat after?
Nightwing: If we race there we can eat sooner!
Nightwing and Batgirl: *jump on their motorcycles and drive to the apartment where they found the arsonist, then tied him to a lamppost and Batgirl informed the GCPD the location of the arsonist*
Nightwing: So, how has your dad been doing?
Batgirl: Not too bad. He’s been a bit under pressure but he’s doing fine. How is it being a dad at the mansion?
Nightwing: Ohhh god. I had the thought once and decided to leave that duty to Alfred.
Batgirl: *Barbara laughs*
Nightwing: I help him a bit. It’s been so difficult acting like a grown up. I had to seriously step in when Alfred called Jason “Master Todd”
Batgirl: Please explain further?
Nightwing: Well, because Jason is, well, Jason, he lost his shit because he’s “not a snooty ass rich motherfucker, Alfred!”
Batgirl: Damn, I could so see that.
Nightwing: Yeah, and it doesn’t help that Bruce totally lost the ability to interact with other people. The other day Damian was acting up and Bruce picked him up and shouted “WHERE’S THE OFF BUTTON!”
Nightwing: *laughs* I wish you could have been there, it was funnier in person.
Batgirl: *leans her head on Dick’s shoulder*
Nightwing: I love you Babs.
Batgirl: I love you too, Dick.
Dick: *got into the batcave and began creating workouts for everyone, then went to the bathroom and took a shower in the batcave, got out, and went upstairs and entered the media room*
Dick: Aw, isn’t this sweet!
Julia: Get the fuck out Dick!
Dick: *walks into the kitchen to see everyone in there*
Tim: Someone took long getting back to the mansion.
Stephanie: What happened.
Dick: I met up with Babs.
Damian: No fair. If I knew I could have been with Jon this entire time I would have!
Selina: You’re not able to Damian, and you knew you weren’t suppose to interact with anyone outside of the mansion.
Dick: Chill. Everything is fine. We’re more likely to get sick on patrol then by hanging out with each other.
Selina: In which if we do get sick on patrol and run into each other we then get them sick!
Dick: It's fine! What’s up with Alfred and Julia?
Jason: They got tired of everyone ruining their family bonding time so they kicked us out.
Helena: *rings the doorbell*
Dick: I got it. *walks over to the door and opens it* Helloooo...............
Helena: Hey Dick, you look great!
Dick: *slams the door shut and covers the door*
Jason: *walks up to the door and shoves Dick to the side and opens the door* Hey, Helena! It's so awesome to see you! What are you doing here?
Helena: I’m here to stay and help. Where should I put my bags?
Jason: You could put them in any of the open guest bedrooms up on the third floor! You remember where that is, right?
Dick: Coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool. *starts to sit down*
