Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

The Emperor had woken Vader up before dawn.

Again.

And demanded he come back to check on the Death's Star's progress.

Again.

Which meant Vader would be spending days stuffed into his TIE fighter and flying out to Endor.

Again.

So he was in a pissy mood.

Again.

"As you should," Batman said, running forward to throw a punch. "Bats strike fear into the common criminal and evil robot like nothing else!" And there's the punch.

[sith_happened]

It had been a very long time since someone had tried to punch Vader.

He was caught off guard.

It didn't mean that the punch connected, though. His gloved hand wrapped around Batman's fist. "Don't do that," he said.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Don't do what?" Batman asked. "This?" He threw another punch with his left fist.

[sith_happened]

Vader caught that hand, too.

There might have been some slight squeezing on the captured hands.

"Yes, that," he growled.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Ah!" Batman groaned. That hurt. "Well, you may have the upper hand now, you nefarious... robot. But I know how to get ahead!"

He attempted to headbutt Vader. Vader who wore a helmet.

[sith_happened]

"Were you dropped on your head as a youngling?" Vader asked, dodging the attempted headbutt. He released Batman's hands and waved one of his own, aiming the strange man towards one of the office walls.

It had been a while since he'd gotten to beat someone up.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

WHAM!

Batman hit the wall, but started to get up right away. "You'll never succeed, Lordvader, Polish royalty or not!"

[sith_happened]

Vader was about to toss him into a different wall, but the taunt stopped him.

"Polish what?"

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"I know you come from the Piast dynasty," Batman said. "Your secrets are obvious to me, Lordvader!" Batman attempted a running kick.

[sith_happened]

Vader moved almost casually out of the way. "I'm a Sith Lord. But not from this planet. And certainly not Polish."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"More robot lies!" Batman said, throwing a backhand toward's Vader's helmet. "If only you were programmed to tell the truth!"

[sith_happened]

Vader let the hand smack against his helmet. That should teach the man.

"I'm not. a. robot," he gritted out.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Well, you certainly feel like it, fiend!" Batman said, pulling his hurting hand back.

[sith_happened]

"I can drop you into lava, too," Vader snapped back. "We'll see how good-looking you are after that."

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"There's no lava around here," Batman said, confused. He took advantage of his own confusion (no, it doesn't make much sense) by throwing another batarang at Vader from pretty close range.

[sith_happened]

It bounced off of Vader's helmet with a CLANG!

"You can stop doing that at any time," Vader said, sounding peeved.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"I will just as soon as you renounce your evil ways!" Batman said, kicking again.

[sith_happened]

"That's not going to happen," Vader growled, giving Batman another Force shove.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

Batman was getting used to this whole hitting the wall thing. It didn't hurt nearly as much as his middle age spine was telling him it did. "Well, then you're just going to have to put up with me." Batman attempted a flying kick. It was less than impressive.

[sith_happened]

Vader waved a hand in the air, leaving Batman hovering for a moment. "Someone would actually find this intimidating?" he asked.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Many people do, in fact!" Batarang.

[sith_happened]

CLANG!

Off the helmet.

Vader tossed him back towards the wall again. "You make Imperial captains look competent," he grumbled.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"And you make capes look fruity, chum!" Batman said.

[sith_happened]

Oh, that was it.

"I make capes look fantastic!" Vader roared, throwing Batman towards a different wall.

[bampowcrashzap.livejournal.com]

"Fantastically fruity!" Batman said upon impact. "And the color choice? What were you thinking with all black! Get some contrast in there!"
