"How many do you have left?" Rico asked over the call as he sped down the road on Nightwing's motorcycle. It was completely electric powered. It also had an array of electronics in it. He was forced to rush and only removed the remote control device.
But he still wanted them to know his location since it was likely they would come to track him down. Whether it was the severely injured Nightwing or the Harley he could almost hear a mile away. Or anyone else that Oracle sent after him. He was going to be a suitable distraction since he made it seem like he had the device that would trigger the explosion for the ACE Chemicals factory.
"Only two more places left. How much longer do you think you can hold on?" Edgelady asked as his phone began ringing with a call from a second person. "Seems like you are getting another call."
"Yeah, give me a moment." Rico sighed and switched over to the other call. "Red Hood? What did you need? I am kind of in the middle of something."
"Really are you?" Red Hood growled sarcastically, "Because I am about to draw them into the trap and I will need to piss off the Joker."
Rico shook his head as he spotted a motorcycle veering through traffic in the distance coming toward him. "The others are taking care of it. I am having to play the distraction for all of Batman's sidekicks so they do not end up smoldering corpses."
He could hear Red Hood grunt over the call. "Have Edgelady send me the code to blow up the buildings when they are done. Good luck." He then hung up.
Rico sighed as he spotted another motorcycle. He then pulled up his call with Edgelady, "Hey when they are done with getting all of the bombs are set, send the triggering number to the phone I was just in contact with."
"Understood. Should I send you some backup when the others are done?" Edgelady asked with a sigh as he could hear the clicking of her typing on a keyboard.
"No, I will be fine. Just get them to finish and then get them back to the shop." Rico told her as he hung up. The two motorcycles he was worried about were getting closer. He buckled down and prepared to run headfirst into the frontmost one.
He could already see the people driving them. One of them was in a motorcycle similar to Nightwing's, that is definitely Batgirl in her all black outfit. Then the other was in a more mechanical motorcycle, he could clearly see the flowing red hair of Batwoman.
Rico sped up and was about to run into Batgirl's motorcycle when she jumped off it. Rico was not so lucky as he was thrown from his speeding motorcycle. He sailed through the air and slammed into the car that was parked on the side of the road.
"Shit, is he dead?" He could hear Batwoman ask as she spun around and stopped her motorcycle. But he could see the small figure that was hidden behind them and began running toward him. As Rico landed on the ground he used his hand to propel himself to the side.
The sword the small Robin was using sparked against the car that Rico had slammed into. "Tch!" The kid clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Not dead enough." Rico then stood at a full height and dusted himself off. "In fact he does not even look injured." The young Robin, who was likely Damien Wayne or Al Ghul, pointed out. He did not know for certain which name the kid had taken.
Rico cracked his neck and he twirled his fingers as his knuckle dusters appeared on his gloved hands like a slight of hand. He then decided to ignore the young heir and instead set up a stance against the closest opponent, Batwoman. While he could see Batgirl had landed on the roof of a car and had turned her attention to him.
"Ignoring me?" He could hear Damien mumble. He then jumped toward Rico with his sword swinging.
"No! Robin-!"
CHINK!
Rico dodged the attack with a sway of his feet. He then punched the flat side of the blade and used his other hand to grab Robin's scruff. He then threw Robin through the air toward Batgirl.
Batwoman was already dashing towards him with her guns drawn. He dashed forward as well, raising his fists up. She began firing and he dodged the first few bullets before he stopped and caught one in his hand.
Batwoman froze as did Batgirl and Robin who were moving around the cars to take up position behind him. He opened his hand to see the rubber round in his hand. He sighed and shook his head before he dashed straight toward Batwoman, no longer fearing the bullets as he barely felt them.
"Shit!" She cursed and he could see her eyes widening in surprise. While he reared back a fist to punch her. But before he could he felt something slam into his side and registered it as he heard the loud roar of the engine coinciding with Harley's laughter.
They had managed to sneak up because he was too focused on the fight. He slid back across the street as he grabbed the motorcycle. He then sat on the ground and turned to see Harley who was picking herself up while Nightwing limped over.
"Don't get hit by him. He has some form of enhanced strength. You want to keep him at a distance." Nightwing explained but it was already too late as Robin was silently jumping up with a batarang to attack Rico again.
Rico grumbled to himself as he reached back and grabbed the new Robin by the wrist. He then spun around and threw him up into the air. "How? What?" He could hear Robin grumble as he flew through the air.
"Haa… like I said, Robin." Nightwing looked at Robin specifically as he landed on the hood of a car after managing to right himself in the air. "Stay far from him, he seems not to prefer long range weapons…" Nightwing trailed off as Rico walked over to a car and pulled off a car mirror and car door.
He tossed the car mirror up and down like a baseball and tilted his head. "Nightwing, a request for all future tactical ideas." Batwoman sighed as she seemed to be switching out her ammunition. "Maybe do not let the enemy overhear you."
"Fuck." Nightwing cursed as Rico reared back his arm to throw the car mirror.
