Batman: * I sit up in the ambulance * Alfred always knows when I should stop, too bad I don’t “Stop the ambulance and take me to Gotham National Bank”<br> Alfred Pennyworth: “No, Master Bruce I implore you to rest, GCPD is handling the situation”<br> Batman: “No, Alfred it’s Ra’s, it’s Talia, it’s me that has to go”<br> Alfred Pennyworth: “You don’t stand a chance in your condition”<br> Batman: “Gotham doesn’t stand a chance without me.”<br> Alfred Pennyworth: * I look to the driver * “Harold, take us to Gotham National Bank, stop one block away”<br>* I give Batman two shots, one for pain, one for endurance *
Batman: “Lets’s hope we’re not too late”<br>

The Ambulance stops a block away. The chatter of gun fire fills the night, nobody notices Batman slip out the back and make his way to the roof.
On the rooftop a GCPD SWAT Sniper sits poised to shoot, he hears nothing until too late.
Batman: “Mind if I take a look?”<br>* I raise my binoculars, I can see Ra’s holding Talia in his arms. She’s shot and looks lifeless. * “This ends now, hold your fire”<br> GCPD SWAT Sniper * On Radio * “Everyone hold your fire, everyone hold your fire NOW”<br> An eerie quiet fills the night almost too quiet, nobody hears the Zipline or see the figure cross between buildings. Gunfire stops in the Bank too, yet there is still commotion going on as masked henchmen scramble around.
Batman: I have the element of surprise “UMPH”<br>* I kick two goons into each other and knock them into the vault, I roll and kick the door shut * SWI TUNK * A Batarang hits another goon and takes him down * SMACK * The last one, confused, turns and I knock him down and out with a trusty right hook to the jaw * “Talia?”<br>* Ra’s looks up at me in disbelief * “End the world or save your daughter, your choice”<br>

Ra's: "Well Detective, it seems I have underestimated you."
*takes out gun from pocket, screams are heard from the gathering crowd outside of the police barrier*
"Iv'e raised my daughter to fend for herself, a small flesh wound won't get the best of her"
I look around, I am surrounded by SWAT teams, their guns pointed at my head, the Bat only 5 feet in front of me. Theirs no way out....or is there....a bead of sweat falls from my eyebrow, you could hear it in the stone-cold silence
"Someone here won't come out of this alive. I've made my decision"
*a shot rings through the air, more screams are heard, everyone stares, only to see me fall onto my back, the gun falls from my hand, blood seeps from the wound on my chest* It was the only way...
*Batman stares into my eyes, a puzzled look on his face*
"To each our own, Detective"
*The SWAT team rushes up to me, taking Talia and retrieving my weapon. A stretcher comes up, two men place me onto it, I'm rushed into the back of an awaiting ambulance, Talia is put aboard right after me on a similar stretcher. The men jump into the back and close the doors, we're off to the hospital...or so it would seem...*
*The men tear off their stolen paramedic uniforms revealing their black fatigues.*
Paramedic: "Are you in good health, master?"
Ra's: "Im fine, the pouch worked as described, good work. Talia on the otherhand wasn't so lucky, treat her leg now, we mustn't lose time. You know where to go..."

GCPD swarms the Bank four or five of them surround Batman guns drawn at his chest. “Let him go” bellows a voice from just outside. Commissioner Gordon enters and orders the men to stand down.
Batman: “Thank You Jim, they’ll learn one day”<br>* I turn and exit out the back and walk away *
Alfred Pennyworth: * The ambulance rolls up along side as I walk * “Need a lift stranger”<br> Batman: * I had pressed a button on my belt, the Batmobile arrives on cue * “No thanks”<br>* I wave them off and get into the Batmobile * CLICK * I engage the Auto Pilot and it takes me home *
Oracle: * On Batlink * “Batman, How did it go?”<br> Batman: “Talia was hit in the cross fire and Ra’s shot himself, but were taken away in a rescue ambulance”<br>The long pause in her reply tells me something is wrong “Oracle, what’s wrong?”<br> Oracle: “Well if they were picked up by rescue it’s not being broadcast on the scanners. It would have been called in to a hospital”<br> Batman: What if…
Oracle: “All I hear is the calls about the victims, not survivors”<br> Batman: * I let out a long sigh * What if Ra’s was still on the loose, what next? “Send the team home to rest, the next round starts tomorrow”
