Oscorp Under Siege
United States Army Forces Move In Under Orders of Thunderbolt Ross
The night air around Oscorp was cold and still, the kind of silence that feels heavy before a storm. Inside the grand lobby, polished marble floors reflected faint emergency lights. Security desks stood abandoned. The building looked empty—but it was not unguarded.
Almost the very moment the first squad of soldiers stormed through the front doors, their boots striking the floor in sharp rhythm, Batman heard them.
He was deep underground, on the second basement level.
Even through layers of reinforced concrete, his enhanced senses picked up the disturbance. The subtle vibration of synchronized marching. The metallic click of rifle safeties. The faint whisper of radio chatter.
Peter Parker's Spider-Sense reacted instantly.
A sharp warning pulsed through his mind.
Danger. Armed men. Hostile intent.
Batman did not panic. He never did.
Instead, he analyzed.
The number of footsteps suggested at least three full squads. The weight distribution indicated full tactical gear. The slight echo delay told him they had sealed the main lobby and were spreading out.
He already knew who had sent them.
Thunderbolt Ross.
Batman had predicted this move.
Ross was not a patient man. He would not wait for daylight or legal paperwork. If there was power to seize, he would take it by force—especially if that power involved enhanced soldiers.
And Ross had chosen the perfect time: late night, minimal witnesses, total control.
But he had underestimated one thing.
Batman had arrived earlier.

The Super Soldier Serum Was Already Gone
Before the soldiers ever stepped inside Oscorp, Batman had methodically erased nearly all research related to the Super Soldier Serum.
On every floor above the third basement level, hard drives had been wiped, servers dismantled, chemical samples neutralized. Physical notes destroyed. Digital backups corrupted.
Only the third basement remained.
And that was intentional.
He moved swiftly down the corridor, cape torn from his earlier battle with Norman Osborn, its shredded edges brushing the ground like shadows clinging to him.
He pressed a concealed button on his suit.
Click.
A silent electromagnetic pulse activated within the ruined laboratory equipment. What appeared to be damaged machinery—evidence of Norman Osborn's crimes—was quietly purged of its final data fragments.
Three minutes.
That was all it took.
The last traces of the Super Soldier Serum research were completely erased.
Then came the sound he had been waiting for.
Boots on stairs.
Heavy breathing.
Metal against concrete.
The soldiers had reached the third basement level.
Batman pressed another switch on his gauntlet and vanished into darkness.

Predators in the Dark
The first soldiers entered cautiously, rifles raised, flashlights cutting through shadows.
They never saw him.
Batman moved like a ripple in the dark.
One soldier collapsed silently, nerve strike to the neck.
Another fell before he could shout.
A third was disarmed mid-turn.
Batman carefully controlled his strength. These were soldiers following orders—not criminals to be broken. He rendered them unconscious, precise and efficient.
Then he moved.
With Spider-Man's enhanced speed and agility amplifying his combat training, he became something more than human.
He blurred past them.
A shadow slipping between beams of light.
By the time the soldiers understood they were under attack, he was already gone—heading toward the second basement.

Gunfire in the Underground
This time, the soldiers were ready.
The moment they saw him, they opened fire.
Muzzle flashes lit the underground corridor like lightning.
But Spider-Sense had already calculated the trajectories.
Batman pivoted before the bullets fully left the barrels.
He twisted between streams of fire, movements guided by instinct sharpened beyond normal human limits.
Years of fighting gunmen in Gotham combined with Peter Parker's reflexes made him untouchable.
He disarmed one soldier with a sweeping kick.
Vaulted over another.
Used the wall as leverage to flip past a third.
He did not stop.
He was not there to win a battle.
He was there to escape—and to complete his final move.

The Swarm Arrives
Above ground, something unexpected happened.
A dark cloud gathered over Oscorp Tower.
It wasn't smoke.
It wasn't helicopters.
It was bats.
Hundreds of them.
They swarmed from across the city, drawn by ultrasonic signals emitted from Batman's suit.
Soldiers stationed outside grew uneasy.
"Sir… something's approaching…"
Before they could react, headlights cut through the darkness.
Low.
Red.
Predatory.
The Batmobile emerged from the street shadows.
---
Riot Mode Activated
The vehicle rolled forward silently at first.
Then its crimson lights flared like demon eyes.
Armor plates shifted with mechanical precision.
Panels opened.
Barrels extended.
Forty-two modified firearms deployed from hood, doors, and wheel housings.
These were not lethal weapons. They fired high-impact rubber rounds confiscated from criminal arms deals and repurposed.
But they were devastating at close range.
The Batmobile transformed into a mechanized fortress.
Then—
Riot Mode engaged.
Dakka dakka dakka!
Rubber rounds poured into defensive positions. Soldiers scrambled for cover behind armored trucks.
Communication lines erupted.
"General! Main entrance under attack! Requesting backup!"

Ross Watches From Above
High above, on the sixtieth floor in Norman Osborn's private office, Thunderbolt Ross frowned.
He had been reviewing corporate contracts and research documents, planning his takeover.
"Attack?" he muttered.
"Didn't I order you to shoot on sight?"
The radio crackled.
"It's… it's bats… driving a car!"
Ross's jaw tightened.
Before he could respond, another voice shouted over static:
"Second basement under attack—!"
A crash. Silence.
Then the first basement.
Another interruption.
Ross slammed the radio down.
"What do you mean bats are driving a car?!"
He grabbed binoculars and stepped to the window.
What he saw was surreal.
A swarm of bats surrounded a black armored muscle car charging toward Oscorp.
As it neared the building, the car's roof retracted.
The driver's seat was empty.
From the soldiers' perspective, it looked like a ghost vehicle escorted by living shadows.
Ross narrowed his eyes.
He had heard of the Bat.
Now he was witnessing him.

The Breakthrough
On the first floor, soldiers repositioned to block the basement exits.
Then the Batmobile crashed through the glass facade.
Shards exploded across marble floors.
Bats filled the air in a chaotic storm.
Startled soldiers fired instinctively at the swarm.
That was the moment Batman chose.
He leapt from the basement stairwell.
Landing in perfect synchronization with the sliding Batmobile.
The car drifted sideways toward him, door swinging open.
He entered without slowing.
"Barbara, switch to manual," he ordered through comms.
His hands moved faster than human sight.
Buttons pressed.
Switches activated.
Engine torque increased.
Rear glider stabilizers deployed with a metallic snap.
The Batmobile spun sharply, tires screaming across marble.
Then—
It launched forward.
Through shattered glass.
Back into the street.
---
Ross Makes His Decision
From sixty floors up, Ross watched the vehicle accelerate down the avenue.
"Chase him!" he barked.
But within seconds, the Batmobile was already distant.
Ross reconsidered.
"No. Hold position."
He was not here to hunt a vigilante.
He was here to claim Oscorp.
With Norman Osborn incapacitated and leadership fractured, this was a power vacuum.
And Ross intended to fill it.
He lowered the binoculars slowly.
"A biotechnology empire," he murmured to himself.
"I wonder what secrets you're hiding."

Batman Had Won the Real Battle
Ross believed he had succeeded.
He had occupied the headquarters.
Sealed the exits.
Established military control.
But the truth was different.
The Super Soldier Serum research was gone.
No formula.
No samples.
No digital records.
No leverage.
Batman had not fought to defeat Ross.
He had fought to deny him power.
And in that, he had already won.
As the Batmobile vanished into the night, escorted by a thinning swarm of bats, the dark knight did not look back.
Oscorp was no longer the battlefield.
It was simply a shell.
And Ross would soon discover that the prize he thought he had seized… was empty.
