(No, but Batman will fight crime at any price)

Batman picks up the card and slowly reads it to Robin who a little out of breath stands behind Batman. "What does this mean Batman?"

At Bruce Manor, Batman sends Alfred and Robin to his library, to figure out the riddle. He himself, decided to go into the Bat Cave, to equip for when he really had to face Riddler. Then he wen't back up to the library to check on Robin.

"It's not the Hydra, it has eyes and a mouth" Robin pointed out to Alfred

"What about a movie character" asked Alfred

"No, the most faces I ever saw in a movie was 4" Robin replied

Batman, familiar with Riddler and his riddles suggested to Robin "it is probably something so obvious that it is not obvious." Batman turns and leaves, "I have to be at a conference in half an hour. Alfred get a car ready."

---- after the conference----

The trip back to Wayne manor was a little longer. Some idiot had crashed into the Gotham Supermarket and a person was in the other lane and hit the rear of the idiots car. Bruce's ride went around the supermarket and by the casino. It wasn't till a few minutes later that it clicked in Batman's mind. A dice!

As soon as his ride arrived at Bruce manor, he walked calmly inside. Just out of eyesight he sprinted up to the library.

"What about aliens?" said Alfred

"I'll check recent sightings" replied Robin

"No need to do that Robin, I figured it out. Go to bed and rest. Tomorrow be ready for action at 9:00 PM" Bruce said

"What was the solution?" Robin asked curiously. He might as well not have asked. Bruce had done one of his mystery dissapearances.

[Nice bit of RPing there.]

Meanwhile the Riddler, of course, was at Gotham Casino breaking in and stealing tons of cash. The Fearsome Five, of course, were stationed around the casino (in places where they would not be noticed) keeping watch for Batman.

[99luftballons]

(Thanks. Batman hasn't heard of the break-in, so unless a bat-signal is activated, he will come in the morning)

[Flagmauth]

And for plot purposes, a bat-signal is activated. Welcome Bruce Wayne to the Gotham Casino! Introducing the Fearsome Five!

[99luftballons]

Batman and Robin head to the Casino. Alfred is ready to get Bat Woman should things turn out rather...unexpected. Batman and Robin are on the roof of a building, scanning the surroundings for possible traps. Robin is wandering in circles behind Batman and is rather grumpy that he can't just storm the casino. Batman doesn't trust Riddler and has decided to keep watch and keep Robin by his side.

(Jeffery, I don't know what you want Batman to see, so you tell me what Batman sees)

[/OCD]

What Batman sees: Riddler's goons are loading cash into a large van. There may or may not be a man in a hazmat suit speaking to Riddler. It's kinda tough to tell, given that there's a wall mostly in the way.

Deadpool is sitting on top of a nearby building with a bucket of popcorn. Hey, you there, Mycrodeeth! Yeah, you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearsome_Five Google is your friend!

[Flagmauth]

[!@#$it. WHY are all the names taken?! I reject your Fearsome Five and substitute my own!]

[cheesyme7]

(That's fine. They're from a different continuity anyway. So long as they're not in DCnU, you can take their name.)

[99luftballons]

Robin and Batman decided that it was safe enough to go into the casino. Waiting for a opportune moment when they thought they wouldn't be seen, they swung to a window on the second floor. Batman opened it without setting of the alarm, and Robin followed suit with another window. "I don't think Riddler expects us to come from upstairs." Batman said, "Just in case, I have a bat-communicator."

Catwoman was bored. Nothing was happening in her part of the city. With her was Nightwing, but it still didn't lift her boredom. "Catwoman and Nightwing are you available?" emanated Alfred's voice from the bat-communicator (short bat-com). She hesitated before responding "Yes, is everything alright?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

"As of now" replied Alfred "But we are dealing with Riddler and he is a slippery fellow. Come near the casino and I shall tell you if there is any trouble. Nightwing are you up to helping us?"

"Yes" replied Nightwing into the bat-com

(Mycro, go ahead and spring the trap if you dare)

[Doomwing]

In the back of the Casino a woman in a brilliant blue dress watches from a far table. Her hair is red and long down her back. She wears several rings, but most noticeably is a thin blue ring that glows ever so lightly. She smiles and moves her hair behind her ear revealing earrings with the Blue lantern symbol lightly engraved on them. She Looks down and stirs her drink with its straw.

"I hate Casinos…" She mutters under her breath. She sighs and rests her head on her palm. "Why Rick needs me at this Casino I'll never know."

[Flagmauth]

[Ha! Take that and stick it in your ear, Deadpool!]

Meanwhile, the Riddler (continuing to debate tactics with the Radioactive Man) suddenly heard a voice over the comm.

This is Drakon. I've spotted the Batman coming through an upstairs window. Should I attack?

The Riddler frowned, and keyed his own earpiece. "No, wait until he gets down here so we can all attack at once. All you others move into position too."

Various acknowledgments of the command were given in many different colors of text and the Riddler prepared to spring the trap that would (hopefully) end Batman's very troublesome career.

[99luftballons]

Robin walks to the staircase with Batman. "I'll take the elevator" said Robin randomly, dashing toward it (the elevator is located a little to the right of the staircase) before Batman could argue. Then he pressed ground level.

Batman was angry with Robin. Robin was going to do push ups should they catch Riddler. "Wai..." Batman started but the elevator door already closed. A lot of push ups. Batman then darted down the stairs hoping he had the element of surprise.

(your turn Mycro)

[cheesyme7]

Hey! Only the real Wade Wilson gets colored text!

[Flagmauth]

Shove it, Wilson. I'm the bloody admin, which means I get to color text as much as I bloody well want. Got it?

Drakon, seeing Robin taking the elevator, had to turn away to hide a smile. Perfect. When he heard Batman heading down the stairs, he walked over to the elevator and pried the doors open (drawing no small amount of attention to himself from people in the hallway, but oh well. Some things just couldn't be helped). That done, he unsheathed his sword (causing more of a commotion) and severed the cables holding the car in a great flaming swoop, dropping the car and everyone in it, including Robin, straight down the shaft.

He then went for the stairs.

Downstairs, the Riddler received additional confirmations of the Batman's presence from Boomerang and Tradewind. Songbird had been on the second floor with Drakon and as yet she'd seen nothing. He had been in the process of ordering her and Drakon to the ground level when he heard the noise caused by people drawing massive flaming flamberges and smashing elevators and facepalmed.

(Players can post in colors. Characters (other than Deadpool (4th wall) and Galactus (Omniscience/Omnipotence)) can't.)

[Flagmauth]

[I only use it to denote earpiece transmissions of the different members of the Five, so I don't have to put "he said" and the like after everything in a three-or-more-way conversation.]

[Doomwing]

Alice looks up from the table and sees the commotion. She sighs and stands up and pays for the drink. She walks over to the stairs and starts to walk up them. She walks past the running crowd of people and ducks into an empty hallway. She pulls out a key and inserts it into a room marked 149.

[cheesyme7]

(Okay. Can you at least use a color that's not so close to yellow?)

[Flagmauth]

[It's pretty easy to tell apart, and at any rate I won't be including Deadpool content in my posts.]

[99luftballons]

(Batman is going down the stairs/is already down the stairs. Riddler would be able to see him if he looked at the stairs)

Robin jumped just before the elevator hit the ground. He had received no injuries. The problem was that Robin had no easy way of getting out of the elevator. Whoever cut the cables would probably see Robin escaping from the hatch on the elevators roof. Whatever, he couldn't pry open the door of the elevator and the door that led to the basement floor with his recruitment.

That meant he had to go for the hatch. With a good jump he opened the hatch and let the people out from the elevator. Sensing no danger, he himself went on top of the elevator. He was in luck. He could still reach the cable and climb up. On the first floor, he would try to pry open the door.

[Flagmauth]

[I call for DM moderation on this one. The Mythbusters proved you can't jump at the last second and survive perfectly unharmed. Now, granted we're only on the second floor. Up. There could be more underground, keeping in mind that this is a comic-universe casino and therefore more likely to do something like that.]

[99luftballons]

(Sorry, but I was trying to preserve Robin so he could fight whomever he will run into)
