"Leon?!"

"There they are," Batgirl said and pointed to a group of people in front of them.

"Yeah," Batman agreed, only softly with a weird tone in his voice.

"The Royal Flush Gang," Batgirl said and went in for a closer look.

"Wait," Batman said. She stopped and looked back at him.

"They're only four of them," he noted. She looked back at the group in front of her. She counted them; there were only four.

"Plan?" she asked. Batman thought about it.

"Watch our backs," he answered. Batgirl nodded and smiled. She looked at the four people again. Then, one of them, the Jack, looked at her. He pointed to her.

"We have a bat problem!" he yelled. The others looked where he was pointing, they saw Batgirl too.

"Oops," Batgirl said.

"No kidding" Batman said in an odd voice, Batgirl turned around and saw Ace holding Batman by the neck.

"Was this in your plan too?" Batgirl asked as she flipped backwards into the middle of the room. There were only two of the four there, the King and Queen were watching from above. Ace carried Batman out into the middle of the room. Batman was ramming his elbow into the big man's stomach, Ace flinched, nothing more. Batgirl ducked a punch made by Jack and kicked him in the shin. He yelled at her in pain, still standing. Batgirl noticed that Ten just stood there watching them fight. Jack swung and hit her square in the jaw. She yelled out and fell on her back. Jack stepped over her and picked her up by the neck of her costume. He readied his fist to punch her in the face.

"Wait!!!" Ten yelled and grabbed Jack's arm before he swiped.

"Get away," Jack demanded her.

"I won't let you hurt anyone," she said very seriously.

"I said get away!" Jack yelled and threw her off his arm. She fell to the ground several feet away with a cry. Jack readied his fist again, but Ace's body flew at him and knocked him next to Ten, who jumped out of the way. Batgirl fell to her knees with a sigh of relief. Batman walked towards the pile of two men. When he passed Batgirl he glanced slightly at her, she nodded. He stopped walking a few feet before he reached the two men whom where now standing.

"That was for sneaking up on me," he said. He took a small sphere from his belt and threw it at them. It exploded and a net surrounded Ace and Jack. The King and Queen fell from the sky in a similar net and landed next to Ace and Jack. Batman was surprised by this, as was Ace and Jack, even the King and Queen were surprised. Batman saw Batgirl walked up next to him in the corner of his eye.

"That was for hitting me," Batgirl said. She looked around and saw Ten running away. She took a step forward to chase her, but Batman placed his arm in front of her.

"Let her go," he told her.

"But she?" Batgirl said.

"Saved you from a lot of pain," Batman said. Batgirl sighed and took a step back.

"You guys could learn a lot from Ten," Batgirl said walking over to a bag the Queen had dropped. She opened it and pulled out a necklace with a collection of different gems, but mostly diamonds.

"The Spade Jewels," she said as she placed the necklace back in the bag. Batman tied the two net together to avoid escape.

"We're done here," Batman said.
