I'm finally getting the hang of writing him. Sorry no Robin *tears* he will be in later chapters for sure! Right now he is learning at school!

Big hugs of much love to Piggythelaw and blacktarget for the wonderful reviews! I shall also give one of those awkward side arm hugs to that one reviewer…who reviewed again…and is still reading this (?)…and almost sorta apologized…

Also if you have ever read my story What Was His Problem, which is a series of one shots about Robin getting captured by different villains and totally trolling them, I am planning on writing more chapters again after a long break! Hopefully I'll get my butt in gear and make myself write them soon!

Disclaimer: No one gave me Young Justice rights for my birthdayL. They didn't give them to Shadows either. *sigh* Well at least Shadows owns BAWT. And I own…a figurine of a smoking man in a chair…those grab bags at anime conventions are so weird…

After returning from dropping Dick off at school Kumori had instantly retreated to the batcave. Sometime later Jackel came down to join her.

"You packed your tools as well?" He asked surprised.

"No. I'm borrowing the bat tools." She replied from beneath her bike. Her clothes had changed into a pair of overalls and a green tank top that exposed her stomach.

Pulling herself out from under the bike she looked at Jackel. "Come to think of it you need a tune up."

"Ah, I see you have found Master Bruce's tools. I hope they are proving useful." Alfred said from behind them, causing Jackel to jump. Just like any other member of the bat family, Alfred also possessed to skill to silently appear out of nowhere.

Kumori seemed unfazed by his entrance. "They have been. I can now fight at full force again." Kumori replied sliding back beneath the bike. "You wouldn't happen to have any gas around here would you?"

"Yes, ma'am we do. I shall retrieve it for you."

"Please do. I got to get my baby up and running."

"Thought I was your baby." Jackel pouted.

"I didn't build you." Kumori replied.

"You built half me." he replied

Alfred returned carrying a canister of gasoline. "Here you are Miss Kumori. Is there anything else I can get you? Lunch perhaps?"

"Thanks." Kumori replied, coming out from under the bike to take it. "Lunch sounds good."

"Just nothing with peanut butter." Jackel said.

"You're lame!"

"I'm Allergic..."

"Will ham sandwiches and lemonade suffice?" Alfred asked

"Sure." Jackel replied.

"I'll take a jar of peanut butter and a spoon!" Kumori exclaimed

Alfred's lips turned upward into a slight smile. "Of course ma'am. I will also remember to stock up on some more peanut butter when I go to the store. It appears to be running out at an alarming rate."

"She's addicted to it." Jackel replied.

"Says the man addicted to cupcakes!" Kumori snapped.

"Only yours." He grinned

Alfred's eyes twinkled. "It's fine. I believe Master Bruce had a similar addiction for chocolate chip cookies as a child. Though I don't believe it has quite warn off yet."

"Should have a bake off later." Jackel suggested.

"I left mom's cook book at the house." Kumori replied wiping oil from her skin.

"Can go get it some time." He pointed out

"That is fine." Alfred said beginning to walk up the stairs. "Though I believe you would be at a slight disadvantage"

"I should say. I've had more years than you old man." Kumori grinned.

Alfred paused on the steps and turned toward Kumori. "Ah yes, but I have more experience."

"So you believe." She continued to grin.

"She's older than you think." Jackel laughed. "Much older."

Alfred simply grinned and continued up the stairs. "Your food shall be ready shortly. And perhaps I will add in a plate of cookies."

"Yum" Kumori replied before turning to Jackel. "You! Shirt off!"

"What! Why?"

"Maintenance." She replied.

"Fine." He took off his shirt revealing a thin and scrawny torso beneath.

Sometime later, Alfred returned baring food to see a shirtless Jackel sitting on a chair in front of Kumori.

The flesh coating on the arm was gone as was the outer metal as Kumori fiddle with the wires beneath.

"Ow!" Jackel exclaimed

"That wasn't even a nerve!" Kumori retorted.

Alfred set down a tray containing a sandwich, a jar of peanut butter, and a steaming plate of chocolate chip cookies. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."

"Just agonizing pain that is her pulling on raw nerves." Jackel said grabbing a cookie with his free hand.

"Not a nerve you big baby. I could get out a needle."

"What?! HELL NO! NO NO NO NO!" He cried out.

"I shall leave this with you and be back for the dishes later." Alfred said as he began leaving the cave once more. "Oh, and I would suggest eating the cookies while they're hot."

"Thanks." Jackel replied grabbing a cookie. He winced as his nerve was pulled again

"I would also suggest you watch your mouth in this house master Jackel. I do not tolerate foul language from anyone, even guests."

"Sorry." He apologized. "We should make that rule at home."

"Says the dirty mouth."

"You're worse than me!" Jackel exclaimed, crying out as she jerked a nerve

With one last smile, Alfred disappeared up the stairs.

Munch on the food, Kumori completed her maintenance on herself, the bike, and Jackel.

It wasn't until about a half an hour later that Alfred returned down the stairs, but this time he looked different. His normal calm face was beaded with sweat and there was no trace of a smile. "Miss Kumori, Master Jackel, you want to get up here as soon as you can," He said urgently. "There is something on the new you might wish to see."

Dropping the tools, both bolted up the stairs toward. "What's going on?" Kumori asked entering the living room.

The TV was turning on to the Gotham daily news, and as Alfred turned up the volume, they all began listening intently to the news caster.

"This is Jack Ryder with an emergency news update. It seems the notorious criminal mastermind, Joker, has just broken out of Arkham Asylum. But this wasn't just any break out. It almost appears as if Joker had been taken out of the Asylum unwillingly, like a kidnapping. Becky Narita is currently at the scene and will tell you more."

"Thanks Jack. As you can see behind me, I am currently at the gates of Arkham Asylum, Gotham's top security prison. But even with all of its security, just moments earlier Joker was seen exiting the building. He was said to have been carried out on the back of a large blonde man before he was forced into a van and driven away. Security cameras were able to get an image of the kidnapper." A picture of a large, familiar blonde man was flashed across the screen. Held over his back like a sack of potatoes was none other than the clown prince himself, smiling up at the camera almost like he knew it was there.

Seeing the image of the blonde man both Kumori and Jackel froze. "No..." Kumori whispered

"Do you recognize him?" Alfred asked?

"It's Cole, Robert's goon." Her hands clenched into fists, blood dropped between her fingers.

"Oh my, that can't be good at all." Alfred sighed as they turned their attention back to the news where Jack was once again speaking.

"Citizens are warned that this man has been classified highly dangerous. If you are see him, call the police immediately."

As the news cast ended, the room fell into silence.

Jackel turned to Kumori and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Kumori please unclench your hands, your bleeding." He said softly. Kumori loosed her fists, but didn't reply.

"Well this is certainly troubling," Alfred said, whipping his brow with a handkerchief. "I shall contact Master Bruce about it immediately. I would also suggest neither of you take any kind of action without informing him first. He considers this city his job to protect, and it would be wise to remember that."

"It's our job to protect all humans doesn't matter the city." Kumori growled. Jackel sighed.

Yes, I do not disagree," Alfred replied. "Only these particular humans are under Master Batman's care. It would be wise to discuss any plans with him before you take any action."

Jackel reached out and hugged Kumori, whispering something in her ear. She laid her head on his shoulder.

Alfred sighed and smiled warmly at the scene before walking out of the room to telephone Bruce.

Jackel pulled out his phone and handed it to her. "Call Gil. Find out the mission type." Taking the phone, Kumori called Gil.

Leaning against Jackel, she began speaking Japanese. Jackel listened, catching a few words. She hung up a few minutes later.

In the adjacent room, Alfred had just dialed Bruce's work number. After several rings, Bruce's secretary picked up the phone.

"Hello, Bruce Wayne's office."

"Yes, this is Master Bruce's Butler. I need to speak to him immediately."

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Wayne is currently in a meeting and doesn't want to be disturbed."

"I'm sorry ma'am, but this is urgent. Please tell him its code red. He will understand."

"Fine, please hold."

Alfred waited on the line until finally Bruce picked the phone. "Alfred, what's the emergency. Is it really code red?"

"I'm afraid so sir. It appears the Joker has been broken out of prison. Kidnapped out, to be more precise. Not only that, but it appears Mistress Kumori and Master Jackel might know the culprits who have done it. You should return home right away, sir. Before those two do anything rash."

"I'm on my way, Alfred."

Hanging up the phone, Alfred returned to the living room where Jackel and Kumori stood waiting.

Kumori hung up about the same time Alfred reappeared.

"Well?" Jackel asked.

"Search and destroy. If Batman doesn't like it it's search and capture. We can kill him in the holding cells." She replied.

Alfred raised an eyebrow, but stayed silent. He decided he would let Bruce, or more likely, he would let Batman deal with whatever those two were planning.

So those newscasters were actual Batman newscasters in either the comics or movies. Can you guess who they are?

Oh and reviews are still loved…and would make great bday presents for the both of us J
