I can't believe I missed an update! 
I feel a little sorry for Bruce since he will be dealing with three people that can and will do strange things.
Yoda caught Two Face??  *imatates Yoda's voice* How embarrassing, how embarrassing!
Can't wait for their fight!
Robin's reaction to Yoda was priceless.

I'm glad Qui-Gon got there in time to help Obi-Wan, even if he's not quite out of danger yet.
I liked Robin's reaction to Yoda. Seems the Jedi are keeping them all on their toes!
More please!

Okay, here's what you've all been waiting for. Enjoy!
Chapter 16 – David vs. Goliath
Alfred guided the speedboat in silence, following the dock line. Yoda sat in the passenger seat, eyes closed, humming softly to himself and speaking only to give directions. The irony of an alien giving directions to a local wasn’t lost on him.
“Your name,” Yoda said in his high-pitched, gravely voice, “what is it?”
The questioned startled Alfred, although years of training and discipline kept the emotion from his expression. “My name is Alfred, sir.”
Yoda nodded. “Related to Obi-Wan how, are you?”
“Related? I am in no way related to Master Obi-Wan. I am Master Way… er, Master Batman’s butler and head houseman.”
“Empathic, you are.”
“I beg your pardon, sir?” Alfred’s stomach flip-flopped. What was it with this creature that made everything suddenly seem out-of-balance? He had never slipped up on Master Wayne’s alias like that before.
Yoda glanced at the passing warehouses, then turned his gaze to Alfred. “Sense the emotions of others you do.”
That statement took him aback. Yes, he’d always had a keen sense of people. Even as a boy he could tell when someone lied to him. He thought of Master Wayne – a true representation of the phrase, ‘Still waters run deep,’ so much strength hidden just below a calm surface. Master Dick resembled a thoroughbred racehorse at the gate – spirited, nervous, emotional – all that restrained power compacted into one body, just waiting to burst out. Then there was Barbara – beautiful and delicate-looking, sleek, sharp… and as deadly and precise as a Samurai sword in the hands of a master. He refocused his attention on Yoda. Never in his life had he sensed such peace and serenity in an individual. “I see what you mean, sir.”
“Trusted Obi-Wan immediately, you did?”
Alfred smiled. “I suppose I did. Master Batman, however, was quite skeptical at first, but he came around. Mistress Batgirl took to him immediately after an initial rocky introduction. Master Robin, however… has a rather brash personality. I believe he did nearly everything possible to alienate Master Obi-Wan. Master Obi-Wan, however, never took the rebuffs personally. I believe he was at first perplexed by Master Robin’s attitude, but he never seemed bothered by it.” Alfred frowned. Now why had he said all that? He’d never spoken so openly about his family before, not to anyone.
“Betray your trust, I would not,” Yoda said, as if in response to Alfred’s thoughts. “There you should stop.” He pointed to where a collapsed pier jutted out from the dock.
Alfred guided the boat over to a place where he could tie up under a lone utility light and turned off the engine before looping the bow line around a rusted iron hook protruding from a wooden support pylon. Here, the waterline nearly reached the height of the pier, so the boat could be seen by anyone, whether in the water or on land.
Footsteps echoed over the deserted docks. A moment later, Two-Face emerged from the shadows between two run-down warehouses. When he spotted Alfred, he smiled and slowed his pace, casually pulling a pistol from under his coat. “Well, well, well, an old man in a bright shiny speed boat, all alone on the docks.” He flipped a gold coin with his free hand. “Must be my lucky night. First I kill Batman’s little birdie and then you provide the perfect escape.”
Yoda, who was below Two-Face’s level of sight, stood up in his seat and stepped onto the pier. He leaned on his walking stick with both hands and said, “Alone he is not. Touch him, you will not.”
Two-Face stopped short and stared at Yoda a long moment before looking back to Alfred. “What’s this? Your trained frog?”
Yoda banged the end of his stick on the wooden planks. “Your captor I am.”
Two-Face pointed his gun at Yoda, fired -- and missed.
One moment Yoda was standing on the pier, looking wizened and frail. The next, he had a laser sword in his hand and jumped into the air, evading the shot and landing to his opponent’s right.
Two-Face whirled around and shot again, missing again. “Stand still!”
Yoda jumped, flipped, and whirled around Two-Face so fast, he had the criminal spinning in place, shooting into the air and at the wooden planks at his feet. The sight reminded Alfred of someone swatting at an annoying fly. Each movement brought Yoda closer to Two-Face until, after the sixth shot Yoda pivoted sideways and brought his laser sword down on the barrel of the gun, severing it in half. He then thrust his hand out. Two-Face shot backwards several feet like he’d been punched by Muhammad Ali in his prime. He landed flat on his back and lay still.
Alfred climbed from the boat to the pier and walked over to where Two-Face lay. “I believe you’ve rendered him unconscious.”
Yoda walked over, grunting and leaning on his walking stick for support with every step. He stopped beside Alfred and looked down at the unconscious man. “Judge me by my size he should not have.”
Alfred raised his eyebrows. “Indeed.”

Actually, I didn't mean to imply that. Yoda was asking Alfred about his relationship with Obi-Wan. He just phrased it in a Yoda way. Glad you liked the post.

oh, you're evil  I say!
I thought we'd find out how Obi is, and see some nice h/c - but no, you have to throw us a wonderful chapter with Alfred and Yoda. It's so good I can forgive you for not updating us on Obi.

Rule number one-- NEVER judge Yoda by his size!
I love it! Great update!

I just found this today, and I'm really glad I did. Batman has always been my favorite comic book hero, ever since the days when I hurried home from Kindergarten to watch Batman: The Animated Series on the WB. (I had a crush on Robin, you see. ) I don't usually read crossovers because forcing two fandoms together always feels a bit awkward to me, but you've done an amazing job with this story. Really. To the point that it feels right for Obi-Wan and Batman to inhabit the same universe.
Wonderful job! I can't wait for the next post!
