"Scratch that Oracle... I think we may have discovered what made one of the mines blow up. Killer Croc is out here... I'll give you the full details later. Neptune out."

She looked over at Nightwing and gave him a wave. "Yeah he'll live." She repeated softly, patting Robin's head lightly. She looked on, toward the city, and her mind returned to the events she felt while under Crane's new toxin.... Had what she experienced what happened to her when she had been born? She grew very silent, her expression deep in thought

It took some tricky navigation but they finally made it back to the Blue-boy's territory in one piece. Batman had decidedly fallen silent again, immediately taking off for Wayne Enterprises. Nightwing stayed to help get Robin to bed.

Ciara hurried after Batman, "Ummm... you're going the wrong way you know." She commented, wrapping her arm around his, "Come on it's this way."

He stopped and turned on her the moment she took his hand, grabbing Ciara by the throat and pinning her against the nearest wall in a flash of movement. His light blue eyes were bloodshot and his pulse was racing with adrenaline despite the leisurely boat ride in. "Don't." he warned, his voice firm but turning softer, "don't touch me. I might kill you." he let her go and took a step back. Adjusting himself he turned in the direction she had been about to lead him.

"You're tripping out pretty bad huh?" She coughed, rubbing her neck, "Sorry... Just follow me. Gotham's a bit different in layout since last you were here." She said calmly, guiding him to Wayne Enterprises.

He glanced around himself before resigning to follow her, "you have no idea..."

As they made their way, she got curious, "What do I look like to you via the mile high club?"

"That sounds like something Crane would ask" he stated gruffly, "so don't."

She pouted, "...I was just curious," She crossed her arms and continued to lead him on.

"Here we are. Wayne Enterprises. So you have some kind of hidden room with a fresh pair of chaps?" She asked.

He stepped through the front doors into the lobby. "Is anyone else here?" he questioned

Ciara threw her mask on, "Nope. Just the two of us. So whatever you're seeing is just in your head... well, not including me of course. Where do you need to go?"

Limping around to the other side of the reception desk he removed a large painting from the wall of his parents. At first look there was nothing but drywall there, until he spoke, "Batman access 01189998819991197253"

"Scanning" an automated voice replied as the security camera turned to him and projected a scanning light. "Accepted. Welcome Batman." The wall opened up a series of complex locked doors, revealing a long winding staircase that headed straight down.

He looked at the stairs a moment, "Alternate route access initiate. Computer, prepare for personal medical emergency in this sequence: Killer Croc, Joker, Scarecrow."

"As you wish" the voice replied and a secondary section opened to reveal none but a fire pole heading down that Batman promptly grabbed hold of and slid down to the lair. After all, who the hell wants to climb all those stairs with a bad leg?

"Cool." She followed him down the pole. "Woah, what AREN'T you prepare for Batman."

"Nothing. I hope." he replied as he limped down a long hallway, gripping the railing as they crossed a bridge. It was surprisingly similar to the bat-cave in the mansion, although most things were covered by sheets to keep the dust out.

"One hundred and thirty-two possible outcomes for the emergency mentioned, please clarify" the computer requested as the screens hummed to life.

Batman gripped the chair in front of the computers, practically falling into it as he tried to focus. "... what... what did it say? Computer, repeat."

"One hundred and thirty-two possible outcomes for the emergency mentioned, please clarify" it stated again.

"... no, that's wrong. computer, personal medical emergency" he urged, "in this sequence: Killer Croc... Joker... Scarecrow... Scarecrow... Jonathan Crane!"

The computer paused as it calculated, "Response deemed questionable. Scanning." another light scanned across the entire room this time. "Mutant Detected, Ciara McCoy, Neptune. Status: Trustworthy, Accepted. Unknown Toxin detected, subject: Batman. Cross referencing toxin with database. Partial match found under Dr. Jonathan Crane. No known cure. Updating Batman to threat status. Please enter the isolation chamber until toxin can be removed from the bloodstream."
A pathway of lights lead from the central computer to another room down a separate hall.

She couldn't help but smile a bit when the computer noted she was trustworthy. "Oh. I like this computer <3" She looked a little alerted, "No known cure... Could I have a blood sample?" She asked calmly, "I think I know someone who may be able to help."

He just sat there, staring at the computer before him. He was starting to get that same look as before, when they had finally found him but he was just sitting in that chair, blank and speechless.

"Please enter the isolation chamber until toxin can be removed from the bloodstream." the computer repeated, "or action will be taken."

"Computer, could you isolate the unknown toxin and record all known data regarding it to disc please." She said, picking Batman up via water and headed to the chamber with him.

"Confirmed" The computer replied, obeying her, "Updating status of Ciara McCoy. New level seven clearance provided. All data regarding the recovery of Batman and the safety of Gotham are now open to you. Complying with orders."

As Batman was being moved he startled, looking confused and trying to twist his way free of the water. "What?! Crane!" he glared at Ciara, "How did you get here?! Computer, initiate protocol 7!"

"Denied"

"What did you do?!" he yelled, grabbing at a batarang to throw it at her.

Ciara blinked as the computer gave her such a large responsibly. "Um... Thank you?" She said hesitantly before turning to find Batman freaking out.

"Batman calm down. It's me, Ciara McCoy. You're tripping out on Crane's drugs. I'm putting you in the isolation chamber... the one YOU put here." She said gently and calmly, but ready to withstand him in a moment's notice. "And I didn't do anything, the computer gave me clearance on its own, cause I'm Trustworthy. Cause I'm your friend."

He continued to resist, grabbing something from his belt and releasing it into the water that restricted him, the water turned to ice and fell, shattering so that he was free to throw several batarangs towards Ciara in a flash.

"Alert. Alert. Hostile presence detected. subject: Batman. Initiating capture defense protocol" the computer chimed in. Surprisingly much like the danger room, numerous holes in the walls and ceiling began to open up to allow some long armed technology through. A net hurled towards Batman but he evaded it and dodged again to the side as a metal arm tried to grab him.
It would've been really freaking amazing to watch the one and only Batman flipping around in action, if only it hadn't been because he was going through a crazy hallucination. Even so however, the operated systems were having quite a hard time cornering him.

Ciara side rolled out of the way of the batarangs. "BRUCE! Stop!" She called but when he didn't stop she took a deep breath, planted herself firmly and reaching her hands in Batman's direction. She closed her eyes, he was moving fast. The computer seemed to be trying to avoid her for the most part. Too fast for her to grasp the water- "THERE!" She yelled turning her hands into fists, stopping the water molecules in his body, forcing him to stop. She could feel a blood vessel in her forehead pounding. "Stop fighting Bruce!"

"hrk" he gasped as his body suddenly stopped obeying him. He didn't stop trying to fight it though, his muscles desperately trying to pull their way free of the very blood pumping through his body. Although now there was a problem, as hard as it would be to take hold of the water molecules within someone's blood, it would be even harder to stop their movement without stopping some of the blood flow. Bruce's eyes began to roll back as he started to pass out.

The moment was enough for the computer to finally grab hold and subdue him, as well as remove his belt. With his hands and feet bound in steel, a large robot came out and picked him up to take him to the isolation chamber.

Ciara fell to her knees after she let Bruce go and allow the computer to handle him. She took several deep breaths, her head was spinning. She'd over done herself that day; what with Crane's torture, escaping from Arkham and now forcing Batman's body to stop... she felt drained... and rather thirsty. "Might have over done it..."

The robot locked Batman up and approached Ciara, offering a vial of blood it must have just taken from Bruce. "Awaiting further orders. Please assure the full recovery of Batman."

Ciara took the vial, and then used the robot's out stretched hand to get up off the floor. "I will computer. Contact Oracle and update her on the current events... Computer... is there somewhere I can lay down in here?"
