Birds v Sirens Pt. 1

Scarecrow: Move it! This shipment has to be sent out by morning so stop moving like a bunch of cockroaches and pick up the pace!

The henchmen began to move a bit faster as Scarecrow rubbed his temples.

Scarecrow: Idoits.

???: The shipment will make it out by morning Cane.

Scarecrow: This is a big one. I don't think you fully understand. If this shipment goes get delivered it's my head on a pike!

???: I'm here to avoid just that.

Scarecrow: I have no idea why. Why would the imfamous Red X come to my turf to watch my back?

Red X: I see you as a valuable ally. This toxin can be the very thing we need to bring Gotham to its knees.

Scarecrow growled before snapping at yet another henchman.

Red X: Besides the slow henchmen, has there been any other problems?

Scarecrow: Only minor hiccups.

Red X: Such as?

Scarecrow gulped.

Scarecrow: The birds have been sniffing around some of my labs.

Red X: The birds?

Scarecrow: It has been some time since you were last seen. The birds are a group of superbitches who have been a thorn in my side for far too long. They're somehow worse than that clown bitch and her gang.

He gripped the railing harder as he watched the men work. X turned to the warehouse and sighed. Hopefully the birds wouldn't show up.

???: Oh Scarecrow~

Both men snapped their heads towards the entrance where three women stood.

Red X: This is somehow worse.

???: We're here to play~

Scarecrow: The sirens?! Why?! Why can't anything go my way?!

???: Play nice Cane or it'll hurt a lot more.

Red X: Catwoman. Great.

???: Let's get what we came here for.

Red X jumped over the railing as Scarecrow barked orders at the henchmen. X slid under Harley's hammer and slammed a fist into her knee. He then leaped up and blocked a hit from Catwoman who was trying to kick him. X jumped out of the way just as a vine tried to stab him.

Poison Ivy: I thought you were dead. What brings you back to Gotham?

Red X: Unfinished business.

X leaped back and swung for a kick midair only to be stopped by Harley who connected his hammer with his shoulder. X landed and was met with Catwoman trying to cut him with her claws. While X fought off the Cat, Harley and Ivy began to peek through the crates as Ivy's plants held off the goons.

Harley: This is perfect! This should get us a pretty penny.

Ivy nodded and used some vines to lift up the crates.

Harley: Oh pussycat~ Time to go!

Catwoman looked over her shoulder before turning back to her opponent. X stood straight and narrowed his eyes at her.

X: What are you doing with those exactly?

Catwoman: Same thing as always handsome. Sell it to the highest buyer.

She pulled out her whip and cracked it near X's face as another vine knocked him away. By the time he recovered the three were already gone.

Red X: Just my luck.

???: Definitely not your night.

X stood up only to be face to face with the last people he wanted to see.

Red X: Ladies.
