Batman:
The Batman looked Johan in the eyes. "...I know."
He knows. Johan thought to himself.
He knows...and he still wants me here? Johan was not sure weather to be flattered or terrified.
He needed to talk to the man...in private. However, it was clear now who Spider-man was. A kid slightly younger than Johan had been joining the 7th calvary. Worse, the nearly silent well dressed kid in the back also seemed on board. So was Master Invisible and the voice changing Satyr. Of all of them, only Diana seemed capable of this.
Certainly not Johan and his...inner passenger. While he was fairly sure the Rider would not turn on any of them, trusting the thing to cooperate had always been a mistake. Certainly using it as a guard dog for a book sounded...well, insane. It was more likely to accidentally burn the thing while chasing down some murderer.
Of course, nobody seemed to question the famous 'Bat Man of Gotham'. He did seem to know the League of Justice and the Avengers. Certainly Johan had only heard the town criers speak of thier expoilts...which he assumed where just fables.
Johan had not always been so cynical, but none of those people had been around when he needed them. Or when his family had. No...the only offer to help was a thing from beyond promising vengence.
Yeah...where the hell was the Bat Man when we needed him!? I bet that guy had never lost anyone important to him...ever! Even as he thought it, he grabbed hold of the ring that hung on a cord around his neck, just under his shirt. His face becoming grim.
Still...he had to come along. Someone needed to watch out for the two kids now at risk. If this was a war, they all needed to know about it.
