Three men sat at a table. They were at a hidden location in Russia. Another man walked in through a small door. He was skinny and wore a suit and dress pants. He started to speak. "We all worked for the KGB in it's days of glory. We were all so disappointed when the beloved Soviet Union fell and our nation became a weak one, which bowed to the U.S. Now we have come back together to bring back the Soviet Union and bring down the U.S. My name is Ira Berknov and I will show you the agent perfect for our next mission." said Berknov. The first man tapped on the table impatiently. "Thank you for the passionate speech Mr. Berknov now may we see the man." said the first man. "Come in Agent Zolner," said Berknov. The door opened again to reveal a bald man with a chiseled jawline, tribal tattoos on both arms and deep scars on his left eye. The man was Caucasian and was wearing black ops style military gear and a long range sniper rifle on his back. "This is Agent Kirill Zolner. He was one of the KGB's best agents. More than capable of fighting a squadron of soldiers," said Berknov. "After a mission went wrong we picked him up and have assured… his full loyalty," Berknov added. The second man nodded in approval. "Are their any problems that we should know of, that Agent Zolner has." asked the third man. "Agent Zolner has been prone to bouts of criminal insanity… but he is still more than capable of carrying out the mission," said Berknov. The first man thought for a moment, then nodded. "I will allow Agent Zolner to carry out the mission," he said. A look of triumph came upon Berknov's face. He turned to Zolner. "Agent Zolner here is your mission," said Berknov. "The mayor of the American city of
Gotham is holding a press conference in one week. You will break in and hold him hostage for ten million dollars. It will send a message to the U.S. how easily we can terrorize their cities," Berknov finished. "I accept my mission." said Zolner. "In one week Gotham will learn to fear Kirill Zolner, Lord of Soldiers." he said.
