SUMMARY:

INTRO:

Bat Games are here! The annual event when Batman decides that it and lets his circus of orphan militia wild on Manor grounds, trying to take each other out, with a few rules established after some... incidents:

- No Batmobile ( , 2011)

- No Batwing (Jason, 2012)

- No firearms (Jason, 2016)

- No live steel (Damian, 2018)

- No live grenades (Jason, 2019)

- No EMP (Tim, 2020)

- No meta powers (Duke, 2024)

Everything else? Works. Bruce has picked today as the Doomsday, because crime in Gotham has been quiet all week, they can allow some chaos... there's gonna be chaos.

Everyone has been handed Nerf guns, lightsabers (the toy ones, but they're great), glitter bombs and smoke pellets - LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Alfred is holding position on the Grand Staircase (he's participating too, thank you very much, chance to shoot Nerf at disobedient Bats is a balm to the soul), having put up a fortification of couch pillows and chairs, old man has clear line of fire of the Main Hall and of the second floor of the atrium. Ah, just like old days. Alfred even has tea! He has fucking tea there and a toy rifle that means business. "Hmmm-hmmm-hm, off the coast of Argentina our island used to be..." Peak British readiness. Pennyworth sipped the tea, one eye always on the Hall for any movement.

and Damian are, meanwhile, on the roof. With the lightsabers. Damian is relentlessly attacking with what appears to be a mix of Ataru, League of Assassins sword doctrine and spite, while Grayson is on the defensive, mostly just dodging. BZZZHH! Plastic sabers clashed, and somersaulted backwards onto a chimney. "It's over, Dami!" He shouted, grinning ear to ear, arms out, dual blue sabers in hands. "I have the high ground!"

"You—I'm not quoting Anakin Skywalker's idiocy, Grayson!" Robin stomped his foot on the tiles, lunging forward aiming at Nightwing's ankles with his green lightsaber, but of course vaulted off. "Coward! Acrobatics won't save you!"

Someone better be filming this duel.

Someone is! Tim, of course, deploying drones and hiding in the Batcave, in the mouth of mechanical dinosaur, for now, engaging in what he likes to call strategy - aka waiting it out till someone takes out Jason. Tough luck, Jason just cocked his Nerf shotgun, heading into the Cave (helmet HUD picking up something). "Timbooo!" Todd is looking around, mostly for cover. "Come out, bro! Let's team up against B!" Jason has no intention of honoring that alliance. Tim is painfully aware of that. That's why he's sitting it out, changing vantage points and carefully hacking Cave defenses to take out Jason.

Fools. Batman grinned, hanging upside down under the ceiling of the Cave, observing for now. No one can out-Batman Batman! Tim hasn't seen Bruce yet, and it's unnerving him.

"Hey, Batbrick!" Jay is playing on taunting and mining vantage points with Steph's glitter bombs. "What? You waiting till we scream 'IT'S DA FREAKIN BAT!' and then drop down dramatically? Yeah? I know how you think, old man!" He does. Or he thinks he does. One way or another, Red Hood has his shotgun pointed at the shadows, looking. "Got a score to settle with you, B, fifty bucks say I'm clapping you mid-takedown on Tim."

Bet accepted. Bat changed positions. Jason hasn't noticed... yet.

Steph is getting a full-on horror house experience in the Manor, she's hunting for Cass, and somehow it feels like Cass is hunting for her instead. Spoiler is carefully treading through the hallways, rifle ready, flinching at any Batgirl-shaped shadows. "Caaaassie!" Stephanie called out, cutting around a corner. "Come out, come out, I've got... gum? Let's take down Duke, what do ya say?" Silence. Spoiler giggled nervously, shooting up to the rafters with her grapnel, changing mode to stealth. Cass? Nobody has seen Cass yet - and that's the worst thing. She's somewhere here... or in the Cave... or outside... somewhere. Stephanie decided that crawling under the ceiling is safer. We'll see if she's correct...

Duke? Oh, he's in a tight situation, can't use his powers! Sucks. But the lightsabers are awesome, they probably cost... equivalent of a sneeze to Bruce, of course. Signal is outside. And... well, just the tiniest bit of levitation won't hurt! He scaled up the walls and ZZHHHVVV! attacked and Damian! Now it's a proper battle!

"Et tu, Duke?!" Nightwing games, rolling a cartwheel away a couple of feet, then did a flip, both lightsabers ready.

"What can I say, man..." Signal rolled the yellow saber in his hand, grinning. "this is too fun to let you two have it all."

"Tt." Eloquent, Robin.

Damian lunged at . sidestepped, fighting little brother off with one hand and simultaneously advancing on Duke with the other. The sounds those sabers make are amazing. And courtesy of Babs - one of the drones started playing Duel of the Fates.

Babs is watching all this through camera feeds, munching on chips. Oracle, as referee, doesn't technically play... which actually means that nobody can shoot at her (Cmon, darting the girl in a wheelchair? Low), but she can shoot at anyone, which is why Barbara is awfully comfy in her chair, with a Nerf pistol sitting in her lap next to an opened bag of chips. "Oracle to everyone: we're about to get a very pissed off Red Hood in the Cave." Barbara announced through the speakers, grinning, who said she can't give away positions? Nobody. This is awesome. "And Robin just tried to Darth Maul Duke, excessive force: logged."
