No Man's Land

The Arkham Knight saw a news crew. He took the reporter hostage. "To the citizens of Gotham. Gotham belongs to me." He stopped for a moment and tapped on a tablet. Suddenly, explosions could be heard all over as planes flew overhead. "Those explosions just now were the destruction of every means of escape. Anyone attempting to leave will be killed. Anyone trying to enter will be killed." He unsheathed a Kryptonite sword. "Any hero outside of Gotham who attempts to come here, we have the Babel Protocols."

Oracle was watching. "How the hell does he even know about the Babel Protocols?" Oracle sent a message to every super Batman has ever interacted with. "DO NOT COME TO GOTHAM! THE ARKHAM KNIGHT HAS BATMAN'S CONTINGENCY PLANS TO ELIMINATE OR DISABLE EVERY SUPERHERO. I REPEAT DO NOT COME TO GOTHAM!"

Oracle conferenced called every member of the Batfamily except Nightwing, who is with the Justice League. "The Babel protocols are Batman's contingency plans to eliminate or disable every superhero on the planet. I have put the word out to everyone. No one is coming. We are on our own. I have no clue how the hell he knew about or got his hands on the Babel Protocols. I will not stop until I figure it out."

Orime turned to Kate. "Get with everyone back at the Manor. I have an idea. Also, you might want to check out the secret basement for anything useful. Leave the car, I have a plan for that." Orime left the building. As soon as she left the building, she was grabbed by several of the Knight's men. "The Arkham Knight would like to speak with you." Orime started to escape when one of them pulled out a high-powered taser and zapped her unconscious. They shoved Orime into the back of an APC and drove off with her.

Helena was following the target of her obsession when suddenly the bridge he was on exploded, killing him. Helena barely missed being blown up herself or falling into the water. "What the hell?" She went back to the bar she worked at to drink and think.
