Bane: I told Grodd you were loyal to the Bat. He called me..."paranoid". At least he listened when I said Batman wouldn't reliquish his Cave so easily. Soon, not just this place, but all of Gotham will be MINE!
y/n: I've avoided fighting Nacho Libre over there this entire time, it's my turn.
Nightwing runs at Bane and leaps gracefully Ito the air- Bane grabs his ankle and throws the young bat into the wall. Knocking him out

(A/N: He gets knocked out cause he hits stuff on the way down like this.)
Cyborg: That went well.
Catwoman: Ok... now I got business with Bane.
Cyborg raises his shield and charges at Deadshot, who keeps firing into the shield as they move away.
Bane: Of all the ways to torment the Bat, hurting you and your son is one of my favourites.
Catwoman: Yet, you've never broken us!
Bane tries to, literally, rectify that. It's closer than one would think, but Catwoman's agility and tenacity just BARELY edge out Bane's brutal tactics.
Catwoman: Was that as fun for you as it was for me?
Cyborg, having pacified Deadshot for a minute, rejoins Catwoman.
Catwoman: Ready to meet Brother Eye?
Cyborg: About damn time!
They walk to the main console, it monitors still covered with Brainiac's logo. y/n- now awake, limps over.
Catwoman: Are you ok n/n?
Cyborg: n/n?
Catwoman and Nightwing both shoot him glares.
y/n: I'll shake it off, it just my bones; my muscles and my organs.
Cyborg: System's still running. Brother Eye needs a clean power source... something Brainiac can't touch.
Catwoman: The Cave's got backup generators.
Cyborg: That should do it.
Just then, the monitors turn into the face of Brainiac.
Brainiac: Victor Stone. The pinnacle of human evolution.
Catwoman: SOMEONE has a secret admirer.
Brainiac: But your humanity inhibits your true potential. You must PURGE it.
Cyborg: Interesting thought. Just one problem: I'm a team player. And humanity? That's my team.
Brainiac: But you are capable of so much more.
A purple beam shoots out of a monitor's "eye" and strikes Cyborg. As he screams, he goes to one knee and groans. Suddenly, it's as if a copy of the mechanics of his cybernetic body is literally tearing itself out of Cyborg's body. When it's done, an all-robot version of Cyborg appears.
y/n: Oh shit it's the terminator...
Grid: Grid online. I am your vast intellect, liberated from the weaknesses of flesh and emotion.
Cyborg: Apparently liberated from my good looks and charm, too.
y/n: Backup generators are down that tunnel. I'LL handle the gamecube.
Cyborg runs off with Catwoman in tow.
Grid: No aspect of Victor Stone's knowledge is unknown to me. Including the most efficient way to kill you, y/n Wayne
y/n: Nice to know Cyborg thinks of me that way.
While Grid may have all of Cyborg's memories and powers, what he DOESN'T have is the dynamic thinking of a human. All science, no philosophy. Grid can't keep up with Nightwing's swiftness and unpredictability. When it's over, Grid is offline.
Catwoman: Copycat!
y/n: Jesus!
Cyborg runs back from the tunnel and rejoins Catwoman an y/n.
Catwoman: You did good n/n.
Cyborg: Yeah, thanks for kicking my other ass. Power's officially on backup.
The three head for Brother Eye.
Cyborg approaches Brother Eye and inserts his connection spike into it. Tapping a few keys with his free hand, he works on cleaning the computer of Brainiac.
Brainiac: No human -not even YOU- can gain control of my neural network.
Cyborg: Not trying to. Just teaching Brother Eye to ignore you!
Cyborg's mechanical eye starts to flash as he works hard to fight against Brainiac's functions. Brainiac starts to falter.
Brainiac: This minor success...will not...save you...
Soon Brother Eye is back online; Brainiac cannot hack it again.
Brother eye: Brother Eye is online.
Catwoman: Welcome back.
Brother Eye: Thank you, Ms. Kyle.
High-pitched alarms go off throughout the facility.
Brother Eye: Warning! Victor Stone has infiltrated the Batcave! Deploying countermeasures!
Brother Eye brings out a rocket launcher as Cyborg readies his cannon-arm
y/n: Defense system override! Authorization LK-4D4!
Brother Eye: System administrator y/n Wayne. Retinal verification required.
It scans Nightwing's eye, then retracts rocket launcher
