"Someone framed Bruce.. I know we should stay put but, I gotta know what's going on. What do you guy's think?" Chris said as he began pacing the floor in the kitchen.
"We can start by investigate the case through the Batcomputer." The Red Ranger states. "And after that, we can also investigate from outside to find any clues."
"No." Carrie thought long and hard and while every fiber of her being wanted to jump in and find a solution right away, she didn't want to step on Alfred's toes as of yet. "We should wait and see what Alfred comes back. He's probably going to the police station to get more information on Bruce's arrest. Once he comes back, then we can help." She argued, nervously twiddling her fingers. "That's the least we can do for Alfred."

"I hate it when your right. We need to be alert though. With Adrian as the white ranger and Ra's pulling at his strings, and Bruce potentially going to jail, we are prime pickings for an attack." Chris said as he continued to pace the floor.

Wicz crosses his arms and makes a frustrating noise. He hates being on the sidelines when his loved ones are in danger, and Bruce is no exception. "I hope your right, Carrie. Because this is not gonna be easy. " He says with a sigh before he goes back to his seat. "Like Chris said, let's keep a lookout for now."

"I think we'll be okay as long as we're smart about this." Carrie said, nervously gripping a cup that held her juice. "As long as none of us try to fly off at the handle and remember our training, we'll manage. Besides, I'm sure Alfred will be back soon with new info."

The cop car carrying Bruce finally made it to GCPD. The officers pulled Bruce out of the car and escorted him in the police station. Like any incoming criminal, Bruce was processed by way of finger printing and mug shots before being delivered to one of the interrogation rooms. Bruce was forcibly seated, seeing his cuffs transferred to the steel pole on the table so that he couldn't escape.
"Is all of this really necessary, Jim?"
"I'm sorry, Bruce. We have to follow protocol.
"If that is the case, then why am I here? This should be point where you tell me whatever ridiculous story that convinced you that I was some sort of murderer."
"It's not a story." Jim sighed, wishing that he could have a cigarette.
During the early interrogation process, Alfred had arrived at the police station but before going inside, he flipped a switch on the dashboard of the vehicle, opening up the line of communication to Bruce's bracelet so he could hear what they were talking about.

"Or we can head to the batcave and tap into the communications lines and see if we can hear what's going on. I'm sure Bruce always keeps a communications device on his person." Chris said as he gave the two other rangers an idea.

"You mean like the first part of my original proposal?" Wicz points out. "Well, we're staying inside anyways but we can't break Alfred's trust like this." He bites over his lip while his legs begins to shake. "Then again..."

"Guys!" Carrie cried out in disbelief with what she was hearing. "Alfred will be back soon and then I'm sure he'll explain everything."
While a part of the Yellow Ranger wanted to dive in, she understood the parental relationship that Alfred and Bruce shared and one of the worst things anyone can do is to try and step on someone's toes regarding their child.

Wicz almost lose his temper then and there. While it's true Alfred and Bruce's relationship is meaningful above all, the young teen comes to cherish Bruce a lot too. After almost a year working for him, he now sees him like a father figure he craves desperately. "Fine..." He clenches his teeth tightly, crossing his arms like he physically suppresses his rude nature. "But if Alfred didn't tell us the full extent, then I'm solving this myself. Alfred's not the only one who deeply cares about Bruce."

"Then what is it, Jim?" Bruce asked, clearly growing more frustrated with the Commissioner and his refusal to believe him.
"There's video." Jim began to explain. "During the night of Penguin planting those bombs all over Gotham, there's video of you in downtown Gotham murdering a man after what looked to be a dispute over a woman."
Bruce chuckled in disbelief. "That's impossible. I was..."
"I was what?" Jim asked before Bruce went silent. During that night, Bruce was with the other Rangers working to disarm Penguin's bombs but he couldn't reveal his identity. It was now becoming clear that someone was setting him up and he had a pretty good idea as to who.
"I was at home."
"Do you have anyone that can verify your whereabouts... besides Alfred?"
"I was alone that night, Jim." Bruce sighed.
"Of course you were." Jim tapped his finger on the table several times before standing up. "It honestly doesn't look good. Now I normally don't encourage this with suspects but you may want to take that phone call now, especially before that footage is made public." The commissioner walked out of the interrogation room.
Once Bruce was alone, he sat in mostly silence. He knew that any phone call he made would be monitored by the authorities so the best way to speak in secret would be to speak in plain sight.
"This can't be right." Bruce held his head in his hands. "Whoever framed me is definitely in a league of their own, especially with being able to imitate me in such a fashion that it even fooled the police." To the officers on the other side of the glass, it sounded like Bruce wilting under the pressure of possible jail time but in reality, he took of advantage of Jim not yet taking his dino bracelet. Knowing that Alfred was likely listening in, he tipped off the butler to give him and in turn the Rangers a starting point.
****
About an hour passed and Alfred finally made it back to the manor. Immediately upon re-entry, he called out for the trio to meet him downstairs in the Batcave.

Chris made his way to the batcave after paitently waiting for alfred to comeback. Not doing something about Bruce and his current predicament was starting to eat at him. "Alright, Al. What's going on? What they got Bruce for?" Chris said not hesitating to ask the question on the trio's mind.

Once Alfred calls his team to meet him in the Batcave, Wicz wastes no time going there. When he arrives here, he does his best to wait patiently so the butler has the chance to report what happen at the Police Department.

With the trio now in the Batcave, Alfred stood before the Rangers, looking extremely concerned.
"Master Bruce has been arrested for murder." Alfred said, struggling to get out the words. "They say that he murdered a young man due to a dispute of a young woman during the time when the Penguin orchestrated the bombs to detonate across the city."

Wicz's eyes widen at the sudden revelation. Bruce doing the unthinkable? That is nuts! "That's unpossible!" He cries out. "Bruce's been communicating us all this time. I never even heard of that noise!" Then he crosses his arms and lowers his head, pursing his lips. "Maybe someone frames him or something."

"It's more than communication, Master Wicz. Master Bruce was in the field with you during the time that he is being accused of murdering that individual. So yes, he is being framed and based on the clue he left in his interrogation, he was framed by the League of Assassins."

"Adrian. It's a ploy. Adrian wants to lure us out into the open, showboat, and take us out because he knows he can't take on Bruce and win. That slimeball. However, how good are the league at acting as doppelgangers though?" Chris said as he paced the floor.
