I throw my Canary Cry Bomb at Eddie and he instinctively swings the bat at it. The piercing cry shatters the bat, and I quickly subdue Eddie and call the police.

As Eddie slowly walking back and forth at my door, I slowly grab hold my Tim Drake battle staff, then the Door knob was turning and slowly open. As Eddie walked towards the bed, holding his bat over hit head, getting ready to attack, he said,âIcicle & Scarface send their regards!â And as he swing the bat towards my head, I quickly turn and hold the staff up to block his shot!
As he quickly tries to swing the bat again, I quickly got out of bed with the staff, we fought for ten minutes back and forth with Baseball bat and the staff!
I finally knocked the bat out of his hands and pin him to the wall with a staff.
I said, âYou tell Icicle and Scarface Iâm coming for them you hear?! And this time Iâll be ready for them, with more gadgets! And then theyâll be sorry they ever met me!â And I slam the Baseball bat through the wall near Eddieâs head, as he was sweating in horror!
Then I pick up my bags to leave, toss a quarter at Eddie, âHereâs a tip.â I said and left the Hotel as Eddie started to cry.
The EndâŚ

Eddy advertising another cheap comedy routine which I can only imagine to be another one of his Seinfeld-esque scams is not suspicious.
Eddy attacking me with a bat (vampire or otherwise) is mildly suspicious.
Eddy running a (viable) hotel business is definitely suspicious.

After the last couple of weeks Iâve had my friends offer to hang out with me at a cool hotel they had heard about. It sounded fun, so I got a cat-sitter for my kitten and packed a bag for a couple days.
I hear Eddie getting closer and I fumble around the room trying to find a place to hide⌠uhh, I mean something to fight with. I trip over a ball the size of a baseball. I look at it for a moment before I recognize the Black Canary symbol on the side. I pick it up as I see the handle to the door of my room start to move.
The door flies open and Eddie comes in swinging the bat around. I chuck the Canary Ball as hard as I can at his face. The ball hits the wall about two feet to his left and explodes. I hide behind my bed and cover my hands with my ears as a piercing cry rings through out the hotel.
My friends race out of their rooms and find Eddie unconscious in my doorway and me still behind my bed. We tie Eddie up and call the cops. After we explain everything to the police, I head home and snuggle with my kitten.

I have a couple ideas. But it is kind of fun to just refer to them as âthe kittenâ.

âWait! Iâm not going to hurt you!â, said Eddie the hotel manager. âI need your help.There is something off about the act that I booked tonight.â Eddie slowly lowered his bat and continued. âThis guy, Ralph Slap, I had never heard of him before, but I started getting these phone calls asking if Ralph Slap was going to play my club. All of these calls seemed to be from a robo-dialer or something. I would try to talk back to them, but they just kept talking until they got to the end of their message and then just hung up.
Finally, a few hours later, I got a real person on the line and they said that they were an agent for Ralph and wanted to book him. I was sceptical, but this guy says that he can guarantee a packed hotel for Ralphâs act. He says that this Ralph is a rising star and packs the crowds. So I tell the agent that Ralph could have tonight if I got at least 50% capacity booked for the hotel. Ralph says to leave it to him. Within 5 hours I had the hotel completely booked through online reservations. You fellas were the only ones to book prior to the rush.â
Eddie reaches into his shirt pocket and pulls out some gum. âYou fellas want any?â, he says before popping one of the pieces into his mouth. We each decline. Eddie was not what you would call, tidy.
âAnyways, all of the rooms have been booked for a week solid, but no one has shown up yet. Empty rooms cost me money. I tried to get hold of that agent, but the number he called me on just goes to voicemail. So, finally, this afternoon right before you guys turn up, Ralph appears, and he had these goons with him. Big guys with no expressions on their faces. They just seemed robotic.
Ralph says to me, âI promised the boys here that I would do a small show tonight first to try out my new material. Can you make sure that only hotel guests and staff come to it? Consider this an exclusive, and no phones allowed.â Then his goons just sort of surround me. They didnât say anything, but they didnât have to. You donât survive this long in Gotham without learning how to read a room. I told them that no one would be coming in. Ralph seemed satisfied and left with just one goon staying behind in the lobby. I think he was making sure I didnât leave, and thatâs why I was acting so nervous when you guys checked in. I wasnât sure if you were with Ralph or not. I have a bad feeling of whatâs happening in the hotel bar where the stage is. One goon is standing outside the entrance and none of the staff have been coming back to the kitchen. Iâm worried something has happened to them. I canât seem to use my phone either. Do any of yours work?â
We each check our phones, and none of us have a signal, and there is no wi-fi available. I show Eddie my phone screen and shake my head.
âI was afraid of that.â, he says. âI noticed that I had no signal around 10 pm. I went to check where we have our routers, but I couldnât get a signal standing right next to it. I tried logging on with my computer and I canât get internet. Plus, the phones are dead. There is still one goon in the lobby. He looks tough, but I have to get out so I can get to the cops. Can you help me?â
My friends and I look at each other. There are five of us, and we grew up in Gotham. We know how dangerous the city can get, and when we were teenagers we had formed an unofficial group whose goal was to âassistâ Batman. Even though Batman never even knew who we were. We called ourselves, The Scroungers. We would visit sites in the city were Batman was reported to have fought some villain or another and we would scrounge the area for anything cool that might have been left behind. We scrounged up a small arsenal within months. We were always the first on the scene after the police had left. Gotham Police were sloppy. Countless batarangs were found by us. Plain steel, electric, remote controlled, gas dispensing, sonic burst, and flash bang varieties made their way into our arsenal.
That wasnât all though. The villains left their things behind too. My friend Jose found a Penguin umbrella that shoots 12 gauge shells. Chuck has one of Mr. Freezeâs freeze ray guns. Natalie has one of Deathstrokeâs swords, while Alisha found one of Harley Quinnâs baseball bats. I found a vial of Venom that I have never used.
âWe can help.â, I said. I know that everyone still has their treasures with them. We never let them out of our site, even when we all moved away. âGive us a few minutes and weâll meet you back here.â The five of us go back to our rooms to change and arm ourselves. We meet back and brief Eddie.
âOk. Eddie, stay close behind us. Weâll take out the first goon, and clear the way so you can get some help. Donât make a sound.â, I said as we rode down in the elevator.
The elevator door then opened to the lobby. The goon standing watch at the door glances at us, and sensing the threat quickly reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a pistol and starts to fire. I quickly throw out a smoke pellet and grab Eddie to bring him to cover behind one of the marble pillars. Chuck, Jose, Alisha, and Natalie fan out across the room in the ever widening smoke.
The goon is still shooting at us. I seem to be his main target as pieces of marble are blasted away around me and Eddie. Finally, a lull in the shots. The goon needs to reload. Chuck is the first to notice and fires the Freeze Ray and envelopes the goon in ice.
âEddie! Nowâs your chance! Run!â, I shout as Eddie moves quickly across the lobby. He reaches the doors, but they wonât open.
âI canât get the doors open!â, he shouts.
We all make our way over to see why. When we get there we see that the doors have been welded shut. We all see the neatly made weld marks trapping us in the hotel.
âHow did this happen?â, says Alisha.
Behind us, there is crash. We all turn around to see the goon, who was encased in ice, had busted out and has a flame torch for a hand, with a long blue flame coming out the end of it.
âAre you kidding me?â, says Natalie. The Freeze Ray had damaged the goonâs skin on his face, and we could see a metal skeleton underneath. The goon was some sort of robot. We watched as the robot brought the torch up to his face, and the skin healed from the applied heat. He lowered the torch and charged us.
I wrapped my arms around Eddie and dodged just in time out of the way of the robot. I grabbed an explosive batarang off of my belt and flung it at the large lobby window looking out onto the street. The explosion shattered the glass flinging it outward into the city night.
âEddie. You have a way out now. Weâll take care of this robot.â I said as Eddie made his way over the lower half of the window.
Jose had started shooting at the robot goon with the umbrella gun. The shotgun shells were doing tremendous damage, and Natalie was able to get in close to swing her sword and neatly remove the robot goons head from its body.
This didnât stop the robot. The head could still see Alisha and the body started make its way towards her. Alisha swung down hard with the bat and smashed in the robotâs head. The body finally stopped moving.
Exhausted, we gather around the robot head. âWell, should we see whatâs going on inside the bar?â, I say.

Sounds like an expensive fix 
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase âgo for the kneesâ.
I donât think this is Alfredâs problem! It does sound like weâre gonna need a mop though!
Lucky, honestly. Iâve heard that Eddie is quite the baseball player in his spare time. 
Is there a âPOWâ that appears with the hook? This sounds like itâd be fitting!
Time to go back to never leaving the house again 
Yes! The throwback
Truer words have never been spoken!
+10 points for restraint!
Whatâre we ordering? Itâs a little out of season, but I love Shamrock Shakes 
Amazing! I didnât even consider that this would be a possibility. Clever!
A nice and easy solve! Check reviews on hotels next time 
A plot twist!
I hope you were prepared! Just the thought of it is making me tired 
Cool guy last line 
Leaving the villain in tears
Love it!
I find that Iâm wary of most things that donât start until Midnight 
Definitely more suspicious if itâs the winged version.
Especially in todayâs climate!
Absolutely not the plan I had in mind for the bat. 100% surprised by this 
Glad Iâm not Eddie!
We got another cool guy line! This is a good Tech Tuesday so far 
+10 points for the amazing Eddie-cicle pun.
In a different hotel, surely? 
Love the continuity, keep it cominâ!
If all else fails, the closet is usually a good idea!
Prepare yourself!
About as good as any burglar alarm, honestly!
Iâd definitely be a little cautious to move out from behind the bed myself!
I think staying home with the kitten is always the go-to move from now on!
@Skajadeh - Welcome to Tech Tuesday! Super glad to see you 
I donât want to break apart and analyze every piece of your writing, but it was awesome! I love that you flipped the story on itâs head and made Eddie a misunderstood good guy. Really well written, had my blood pressure rising a little with the action scenes!
10/10, great job! Thanks for taking the time to write it
