You clutch your stomach and groan in pain. That elbow jab hurt more than normal because just last week you got a bruise on your stomach when Killer Moth kneed you there. It doesn’t matter if you’re in pain, you need to get up and help Batman. You quickly take in a few deep breaths like you’re trying to prepare yourself before standing up to join the fight.

Firebug throws a right hook aimed at Batman’s jaw, but Batman deflects the attack then grabs the sides of Firebug’s helmet with both hands to drag him down toward Batman’s knee. The hit to the helmet causes the red lenses to crack.

With Firebug temporarily stunned, Batman kicks Firebug in the stomach to knock him to the ground.

Batman reaches for the handcuffs on his utility belt, but Firebug recovers in time to sweep his leg under Batman then knocks him to the ground too.

You’re just about to swing the broken pipe down on Firebug, but maniacal laughter stops you in your tracks. Looking up, you catch sight of another of Gotham’s pyromaniacs flying past the fight, “Damnit, Firefly…” You grumble under your breath. You drop the steel pipe on the ground then run toward the edge of the rooftop while yelling over your shoulder at Batman, “I’m going after Firefly, Batman!” You take a leap off the rooftop and use the grappling hook hidden up your sleeve to swing yourself from rooftop to rooftop.

“(Vigilante!Name)! Don’t go!” Batman yells after you, but it was too late; you were too far ahead after Firefly.

To stop Firefly, you just need to wait out for Firefly’s jet pack to burn out then take him down; the downside of this plan is trying to keep up with his high-speed flying.

You’re creative, no doubt about it, but you also sometimes tend to take huge life-threatening risks to take down a villain like Garfield Lynns.

Like right now, you use a protruding gargoyle statue on the side of a building to propel yourself forward, and once you were close enough, you use your grappling hook to grab onto the back of Firefly’s jet pact then land on top of him while using both grappling hooks as a sort of lead to help steer Lynns away from buildings.

“Yeehaw!” You shout like you were a cowboy, “Didn’t think I had some time for a rodeo, huh, Lynns?” You ask in a cowboy accent.

Firefly growls in anger and tries to fling you off his back, “Don’t you mock me!”

You nonchalantly shrug your shoulders and reply saying, “I mock, I’m a mocker.” You pull back on the grappling hooks to cause Firefly to fly over a suspended walkway connecting two buildings together, “I can fly with you all night, Lynns, but uh…” You look over your shoulder at the slowly dying flames on Firefly’s jet pack, “I think you’re starting to get burned out,” You snicker after hearing Firefly groan.

The slower Firefly gets, the more desperate he gets to throw you off. He flips his body around to finally get you off, but the grappling hooks connected to him keeps you dangling beneath him.

From being thrown off like you did, the harsh pull on your arms causes you to wince in pain; you just know you're going to be taking lots of pain killers to deal with that pain in the morning.

You notice you’re getting closer and closer to the ground, “Firefly!” You move your gaze up toward Firefly, “This is the end of the line!”

You release one of the grappling hooks holding onto the flying pyromaniac then shoot the hook toward a streetlamp to help bring Firefly down.

With the extra weight holding Firefly back, he couldn’t fly any farther, and with the fire in his jetpack slowly dying out, he started descending to the ground.

“Damnit!” Firefly struggles to get free from your grip, but nothing can cut through your line, Batman made sure of that.

With one final tug, Firefly hits the ground hard, and you rush over to pull out the wiring in Firefly’s jetpack. Before Firefly can say anything else, you knee him on the side of the head to knock him out.

You handcuff Firefly’s hands behind his back before releasing a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

You hear the Batmobile coming closer and can already guess that Batman took down Firebug. Of course, Batman can handle himself against a villain like Firebug, he’s freaking Batman for crying out loud.

The Batmobile stops just shy away from where you are standing then Batman gets out with a mean look -well, meaner than normal.

“I see that look in your eyes, Bats.” You point out before taking a few steps back as Batman stalks closer to you, “Before you say any-”

Batman cuts you off as he takes off Firefly’s jetpack, “You ran off and disobeyed my orders without a second thought for your own safety,” He walks back toward the trunk of the Batmobile then places the jetpack inside, “You’re completely reckless and irresponsible,” He comes over to Firefly and picks him up, “I have never meant someone like you out in the field,” He carefully places Firefly in the back seat next to an unconscious Firebug.

“Uh…” You shrink back into yourself, “Is it really safe to put two pyromaniacs next to each other…?” You murmur your question.

Batman slams the backseat door close and shoots you a harsh glare, which causes you to flinch. For a few tense moments, they stand like that before he lets out a soft sigh. He crosses his arms as he adds to his opinion of you, “But you are also creative, that is something I can’t deny, and there is something about you that makes people want to open up to you,” Then he slides into the driver’s seat of the Batmobile without another word.
