Suggested by darksith

Bruce Wayne is coming back from a business trip from China and he's not feeling completely healthy. After a few days, information about a new unknown virus appears in the news, which is spreading rapidly around the world. Bruce Wayne gets tested and finds out he's infected with a new coronavirus tip. Gotham City's government is losing control of the situation because the infected are growing rapidly. The police, led by Commissioner Gordon, are overloaded, just like all hospitals. The dead are growing and there is panic and chaos, which he decides to exploit in the criminal underworld in Gotham City. Meanwhile, a sick Alfred collapses and is taken to the hospital in a serious condition. Bruce Wayne is aware of the seriousness of the situation and remains in quarantine. He's contacting Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon to ensure order on the streets to help the local police. They don't hesitate, and like Robin and Batgirl, they're in action, and Catwoman is joining them. The Wayne Enterprises science department, headed by Lucius Fox, is also trying to create a vaccine against the new virus. After a fortnight's quarantine, an angry Bruce Wayne is now, as Batman, following in the footsteps of the origin of the new coronavirus. The investigation will take him back to China, where he reveals that The League of Shadows, headed by Ra's al Ghul, is behind it. How will the battle to life and death between Batman and Ra's al Ghul end up?
