* **Penny-One:** Master Bruce, I'm calling to inform you that masters, Dick and Barbara have returned Mr. Dent back to Arkham. Shall I send them to your coordinates.
* **Batman:** No need, Alfred besides it's a school night. Have them come back to the cave.
* **Robin:** Hang on, Bruce is suited up? I thought that you were on a date. What happened did Andrea stand you up?
* **Batman:** It's... a long story to sum it up.
* **Penny-One:** [chuckle] That's one way to describe it. It appears Master Bruce's date had attempted to kill the newest D.A.
* **Batgirl:** [laughter] No way! You're serious, Andrea is the Phantasm? that's too good. The legendary Batman couldn't notice that his date was actually the Phantasm, I'm never forgetting this.
* **Batman:** You're not helping, Alfred...
* **Penny-One:** It's nothing but teasing sir, and I need the entertainment... it gets quite despressing down here...
* **Batman:** Hmm... I have sights on Reeves and Andrea stand by... [grapnel line launching, wind noises, batarang thunk, clank] I'll say this once... drop Reeves and walk away.
* **Phantasm:** What in th- [voice modulator activated] I figured you'd be here, Batman after all you've seen to made it to the other three scenes and now you'll see a fourth. Reeve's is as corrupt as they come he may have fooled everyone that he's reformed but you and I know the truth the only difference is that I'm willing to do what's needed. His hour of judgement needs to be dealt if not by the police or you then I'll do it.
* **Batman:** [sigh] I can't let you do that, Andrea... I know it's you behind that mask. Andrea Beaumont. [footsteps] It took a while but after combing through the records. Reeves was the one that gave you and your father your new names to escape from the mob, but he got greedy, the mob promised him a better position, a better pay if he looked away so he sold you out. The cases were the mobsters that killed your father, Reeves felt guilty but was never willing to bring it up... if you let him live I promise you he'll face justice... you need to trust me.
* **Phantasm:** So... the rumors are true you are quite the detective... guess I underestimated you. Regardless, your speech changes nothing Reeves is scum and deserves what's coming to him... why can't you see that? Men like him... don't deserve another choice now either you can walk away or you'll-
* **Batman:** I'm not going to let you kill him without a trial... this is your final warn- [shouts, whoosh, whack, whack, smash, wham, whack, cape rustling, glass shattering, clatter, whack, whack, slash, armor rendering, pained grunt, blood drops, coughs]
* [System Alarm: Batsuit compromised, emergency functions activating, preparing mask lock, voice access needed]
* **Phantasm:** It's a shame, Batman it really is I hoped we could've worked together. [staggered footsteps, thud] I've observed you for months you, upheld Justice, and I vengeance... I promise a quick and painless death. But first... let's see who hides behind the cowl... [cowl protection lockdown failed, fabric cutting, static]
* **Phantasm:** Bruce... Bruce?!
* [Comms offline, system failure]
