| 9 | - | [DCAU hearing over an eavesdrop about Batman's plan to save Talia FIRST (use all sides of convo). What The Hell Hero to Arkham and perhaps call to Azumi to see if she's okay.] |

| 11 | Bane's attempted treachery and theft of the TITAN had been averted a minute or so ago with his imprisonment, but his was not the only problem in the city by a long shot. | |

| 13 | - | [i]"Not yet, but I have come across something of interest. I was able to track the transmissions of your counterpart from this world.[/i] The Bat-G's AI quickly responds. [i]"I am currently receiving transmissions from him. Patching you through to receive.[/i] |

| 17 | [i]"Oracle, Strange is launching missile strikes on Arkham City from Wonder Tower. You shut this place down; Joker's taken Talia, I'm going after them."[/i] Immediately, Batman recognized the voice. It was his own. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | - | [i]"He'll kill Talia.[/i] |
| 19 | + | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | - | [i]You need to think this through. Batman can't let all these people die.[/i] Another familiar voice. Alfred. This world's Alfred |

| 23 | [i]"You need to think this through. Batman can't let all these people die."[/i] Another familiar voice. Alfred. This world's Alfred. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | [i]"My tracker's not activating. Re-route all Wayne-Tech satellites to boost the signal."[/i] | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | "ALFRED, patch me through so that I can speak to him." Even he knew that this wasn't right. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | [i]"I can't do that. I realize it is difficult, sir, but you need to decide if one life is worth sacrificing to save a thousand?"[/i] This world's Alfred is trying to pierce through with logic. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | [i]"Don't do this, Alfred."[/i] | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | [i]"Batman must save Gotham. I'm sorry, but deep down, you know I'm right."[/i] | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | [i]"But..."[/i] | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Finally, he speaks up. "No 'Buts'. You have a duty to Gotham, and that is the highest priority. Greater than any one person, even if it is someone you care about." | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Oracle's voice comes through clear. [i]"Who is this? How did you get this transmission?"[/i] | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | "That's not important at this time. What is important is that you need to realize that your actions are inheriantly selfish. Wake up, and realize that you have a job to do. Now, do it, Bruce. Save Gotham." | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | - | [i]"Oracle... Do not lose Talia's signal.[/i] |
| 43 | + | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | - | Batman releases the tab. Hopefully, he took the hint. "ALFRED, see if you can open a link to Azumi." Waiting a few moments, he tabs again. "Azumi, come in. Are you receiving?" |

| 47 | Batman releases the tab. Hopefully, he took the hint. "ALFRED, see if you can open a link to Azumi." Waiting a few moments, he tabs again. "Azumi, come in. Are you receiving?" | |

| 49 | The sound of rushing water, of the whizz of bullets cracking through. Some breathing, but it was somewhat panicked, explosions seemed in tandem with some crashes near the GCPD. |
