Aquawoman rolled her eyes at Dante's remark.
"Perhaps because I am not a native of his universe as well as me arriving at the same time as everyone else here? When we know where Bane is, I will take care of him."
Bruce shook his head. "Bane right now has the home-field advantage and is holding all the cards. We can't get cocky now, not until we know everything that's going on." Ben had a good point with the police station but right now there wasn't any other options. "I suggested the GCPD because it's close. If trouble's there we adapt. I might just be a man with a lot of money but I wont let a madman like Bane take over this city that my family helped build."
"We are not helping anyone standing around here though. Come you said you know where the police station was, yes? Then take us there already."
"You really are royalty are you?" It was clear that Bruce wasn't someone that appreciated back talk. Or being told what to do.
"I'm not making demands...I'm making a request."
The talk about Bane being the cause of them being here was something that Bruce had to ponder though. "He is resourceful, I've heard from friends in the police force, but us being here...it seems beyond him."
Aquawoman on the other hand wasn't so sure about Bruce's assessment.
"I would say that a man taking over a city in under a month is impressive for a simple man as well."
"I suppose so but-"
"I wasn't finished." She caught Bruce off mid sentence.
"Right now it is best to assume that whatever happens inside city limits is the cause of Bane. If it's true or not we wont know that until we are standing face to face with him. Now drop the chatter and show us the way Mister Wayne."
Realizing it was pointless to argue Bruce nodded and had everyone follow him. It was however not really inconspicuous of them to all take the main street, but right now that was the only way to get all of them to their destination, the GCPD. As they walked the scope of the takeover was more and more evident. Banner's of a masked figure was hanging from the walls of buildings as well as otherwise chaos on the streets with flipped over police cars and overall anarchy that had happened.
Luckily there was no other people running in the streets, no doubt Bane had set up a curfew of some sort to get the citizens of Gotham under his heel. Soon enough though they heard something crashing. Up ahead they'd spot a gang of thugs smashing their way inside a pawn shop no doubt to get their hands on anything valuable inside.
Aquawoman was ready to leap into action but Batman stopped her. "We don't have time with heroics. We need to get out of the streets and far away from anyone who might be working for Bane." Aquawoman did not seem to like that answer and perhaps some other voices speaking up might persuade Wayne to reconsider.
