Robin's long night 3
[Robin POV]
I quietly sneaked inside the building using the ventilation shaft. Once inside, I began surveillance on the entire building.
'Holy hell, that guy was not lying. This operation is massive. I've only seen these many guns together at the league of assassins' armouries. I'll need to be careful.' I think to myself. Although a part of me was still annoyed as hell at his last words. I still grit my teeth as I remembered them.
("WHAT?!? ACCOMPANY YOU?!? B-BU-BUT I'm just an ordinary citizen who'd no doubt be killed by those m-m-monsters inside that building! If only there was a hero who could take out those VILE men and put an end to their evil antics. Alas, all I've got is a cold-blooded heartless coward who views innocent people as nothing but meat shields.'')
'Arghh… what he said is one thing but most annoying of all is the horrible acting. It still gets on my nerves.' I think to myself as I try to concentrate on the task at hand.
It takes a while, but eventually I manage to figure out the exact number of men in the building as well as the weapons that are live and dangerous.
'This place is an abandoned theatre for plays turned into a warehouse, which means it has some decorative gargoyle still attached to the walls. Those should prove excellent vantage points. 68 armed soldiers and 116 assembled and fully functional guns, as well as parts to maintain and create well over a thousand guns, not to mention thousands of rounds of ammunition… This'll be easier than I thought. I just need to watch out for those 3 guys with the miniguns and that one with the rocket launcher… who uses a rocket launcher indoors anyways? This idiot clearly has no idea what he's doing.' thinking this i decide to go for the one with the rocket launcher first.
I exit the ventilation shaft and grapple onto a gargoyle. I move quietly and approach the man armed with the RL from behind before quietly choking him out.
'That's one… now that i think about it… I can use this.' a plan forms in my head as I look at the rocket launcher.
I change locations grappling onto the wall opposite to the only entrance to the building, a small door in the corner of the warehouse. I wait until everyone near the door wanders a safe distance away from it.
'Sorry father, but the no guns rule doesn't apply to the missions in which I'm in-charge.' thinking this, i fire the rocket at the balcony above the door destroying it, causing the debris to block the entrance of the warehouse, after which i immediately grapple away.
As expected, this gives up the element of surprise, as every single person in the warehouse now focuses on the explosion.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!!'' one of them cries.
"SHIT! The guy with the launcher is out cold! We've been found out. THE BAT MIGHT BE HERE!!" another informs everyone.
As this happens I fiddle with the settings on one of the special smoke bombs I have in my belt, before throwing it onto the pile of rubble I created.
"SHIT! Move this damn stuff covering the door! WE GOTTA GER THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" one of the men, seemingly the one in-charge, yells.
In response two of the men with the miniguns, as well as three others move towards the rubble to clear it. But as they lift some of it, the movement causes my trap to go off, as the men are covered in a thick plume of anaesthetic gas, knocking the five men out instantly.
As the others try to check on those five I move through the vents on the ceiling, reaching one of the men who aren't in anyone's line of sight. A quick blow to the head from my bo-staff knocks him out cold, before I move to another man, this time directly below a gargoyle. I get the drop on him, before hanging him upside down and grappling away. He causes a lot of noise, and I use that distraction to throw one of my electrified birdrangs at the last guy with a minigun, knocking him out.
'There… that's the last problematic one. Now it's time for some cleanup.' I think, cracking my fists.

"That's all I know… I-I SWEAR!" the leader of this place cries. One swing of my bo-staff and it's off to dreamland for him. I then looked around at the surroundings, the entire hall littered with the unconscious goons that once controlled this building,
"You got that, Alfred?" I question through the comms.
"Yes Master Damien. I'll update the database with this information post-haste and open up a new investigation file for Master Bruce and you to work on when he returns." he replies.
"Speaking of father, where the hell is he anyways? I know disappearing off of the face of the planet is the usual for him, but he doesn't usually leave Gotham for more than a week, much less ten straight days of no communication." I asked.
"Ah, Master Bruce's suit was last detected near the mediterranean sea… so I believe it's a visit to a particular island in that area." he chimed.
"Is that so? I wonder what led him to give the Amazons a visit?" I asked out loud.
It was then that I heard a slow round of applause fill the entire hall. I looked at the source of the noise, only to find the same man in the ninja outfit who had led me here.
"I must say, you've done a stellar job. Colour me impressed." he spoke half mockingly, with fake admiration in his voice.
"So what next? Are you going to tell me what this was all really about? Or are you going to take me somewhere else?" I questioned.
"Yeah… About that." he began to speak. Then, he suddenly made a throwing motion with his hand causing a wave of cold to pass around my legs freezing them in place with a thick layer of ice.
"Sadly, we will be cutting our little partnership off." he said, in a regretful tone.
