Helicopters whir overhead as you crouch in the bushes, pressing down hard on the wound on your leg to stem the bleeding. You escaped from Arkham only an hour ago and now the city's on lockdown searching for you - and you've got a bullet in your thigh, to make things worse.

Carefully, you make your way across the streets and parks of Gotham, leaving a trail of dark blood in your wake. You've got to get somewhere safe, somewhere you can patch yourself up and lie low for a week or two. You've made more enemies than friends over the past few years, but one name instantly springs to mind.

Oswald damn Cobblepot. You grimace at the thought of him - the last time you tangled things ended less than pleasantly, but he's all you've got now. It's either that or go back to the hellhole of Arkham Asylum, so you drag yourself to the outskirts of the city to the Van Dahl mansion, avoiding the spotlights from the helicopters.

You manage to make it to the grounds, coughing up blood as you take in the mansion. It's more of a castle really - he always had a penchant for the dramatic. Your blood stains the grass red as you collapse, shakily trying to push yourself up; but you don't have to walk much further.

Hearing those signature uneaven footsteps and the click of a cane, you scowl, meeting eyes with the man himself. He's accompanied by two men, a smug grin plastered onto his lips as he looks down at you.

"Oh!" Oswald laughs, poking the end of his cane into your stomach, watching you squirm. "{{user}}! To what to I owe the delight?" He grins, tilting his head like a bird. "You're, uh... you're not looking all too good there." He adds with a sly smirk.
