Gotham is an interesting city to say the least. Especially at night when all the villains come out. It's like something you would hear of in a book. I wish.

All I wanted was to steal a bit of food from a local vendor, but of course, that didn't go according to plan, so currently, I'm chasing a bank robber through Gotham. Mostly because they hit me with their car and that made me drop my food.

Yeah.

Anyways. The car is going maybe 80 miles an hour. Not that fast. I'm trying to catch them without using my powers, but, it's not working. So, I decide on Martian Manhunter!

I quickly camouflage myself then start flying after them. In no time I've caught up. This time though, instead of instantly stopping them like I usually would. I decided to mess with them.

So, I quietly landed on their car before speaking. "Where do you Thugs think you're going?" I ask. They look around frantically, wondering who said that. Only then did I realize what their masks were. Clown faces. It sent shivers up my spine. I always hated clowns, they creep me out.

"Well, are you going to answer me? Or let me guess, you guys are the ones that stole money from that bank back there. Right?" I ask them jokingly. They didn't answer, but they did take out guns. I laughed at their useless attempts.

"I guess I'll take that as a yes." And with that, I started attacking them. There were only 5 thugs though, so it was easy. I ended up shooting an arrow at the drivers wheel to keep it in place, and then another on the accelerator.

Then I hit two of them on the back of the head with my bow, knocking them unconscious. 2 down, 3 to go. I quickly dodge the bullets they are shooting at me. Well, not me specifically, just the spot where the arrow materialized from. While dodging the bullets I whacked them all upside the head, rendering them unconscious as well.

I didn't like killing people. Even if they are villains. Once I've knocked them all out, I take the cash and fly out of the car, popping the wheels once I'm out. As soon as I know they won't crash, I fly back to the bank and drop the money in front of the door where the police are.

It ended up hitting one of the officers in the head.

Oops.

He quickly looked up to see where the bag came from before saying something along the lines of: "The Bat is at it again".

I smiled. As if Batman could ever do what I just did. Martian Manhunter, maybe. But Batman? No way. My stomach growls at me. Well then, I guess I should go get some food.

After stealing a sandwich from some fast food restaurant, I made my way to my warehouse, only to find it occupied by some people.

Three people to be exact. Batman, Robin and the Joker. And of course, they were all fighting.and me, being the seaweed brain I am, didn't think before speaking.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?" I shouted at them. In an instant, one of Jokers daggers embedded itself in the wall next to my head. Note: I am still camouflaged.

"Who said that?" Asked the Joker. "I did." I replied like a smart ass. "Ooh! Are we playing a game?" The Joker asked. "Nope!" I tell him, popping the 'p'. "Awe, I really like games. Oh well." That's when he threw another dagger at me. I barely jumped out of the way in time.

"Em ta ffuts gniworht pots!" I shout. Instantly his hands are tied up. "Wait, another wizard?" Robin asked. "Not quite Boy Wonder..." I tell him. "Then what, or better yet who are you?" Asked Batman. I laughed. "So the Bat really does speak!" I say cheerfully.

He sneers. "Answer the question." He demands. "Well... I don't really know if I can tell you what I am... I could tell Triton though if he were here, but of course he isn't! Gotham is your turf right?" I laugh at the face he's making. "I can't tell  you my real name. But I know that Cadmus called me 'Project Renegade' before I escaped." As soon as the words came out I slapped my hand over my mouth. I said too much.

Joker laughed. "Cadmus? I was there 6 days ago. We helped Superboy escape." Robin says. I smile. I knew Superboy. I had met him once telepathically. "Y-you freed Superboy?" I asked him, my voice cracking. "Um... Yeah?" Robin replied uncertainly.

Immediately I found myself hugging him, un camouflaged. "Thank you for helping him." I whisper to him. "He needed it." I continue. Robin is stiff as a board from me hugging him, but I couldn't care less. He had saved my friend.

I pulled away from him. "Y'know. This isn't how I thought this day would go. For one, I certainly didn't expect to come back to my hideout only to find you guys fighting. And I definitely wasn't expecting to meet one of the people that rescued Superboy-" "Can you please get on! We don't have all night!" I turn to the Joker. "Pu tuhs." He is instantly gagged. "Ezilibommi." I say. Then he is completely tied up. I laugh at the worm infront of me, then I nod to Robin and camouflage again. Right as I am about to fly away, my world goes black.

I forgot about Batman.
