The Narrows Many Years Earlier…

The boy the shaking there were police everywhere he was sitting, in the back of an ambulance outside his home. He had just witnessed his parents being murdered. By corrupt cops who didn't think he was old enough to remember their faces, but they were wrong he would remember every detail of this night. He'd remember his parents, deaths vividly and he'd never forget the corrupt cops mention that Don Falcone ordered them dead for witnessing a mob hit.

He was maybe five or six and was hidden by his mother in a closet that's why he was spared in the first place. Falcone never did anything about the boy because he was a boy and like the cops believed in time he'd forget. The boy would never forget though and he would never forgive. There was a man approaching the ambulance the boy recognized him as a friend of his parents.

The man held out his hand to the boy he was very fit with greying hair, but he spoke with a comforting voice "My name is Sebastian Blood. I'm a friend of your parents I'll be taking you to live with your mother's cousin. I understand you've been through a trauma but in time I'm sure you'll be able to put this behind you."

"I don't want to forget." The boy snapped "They may forget me but I swear I will never forget them!"

"Well then." Blood smirked "I may be able to help you with that."

Gotham City Sirens Club Present Day…

Bruce barely dodged Prometheus's attack he quickly rolled over to where Tabitha was laying. "Come on!" He grabbed Tabitha and quickly ran to the end of the kitchen finding an elevator he pressed the button "Hurry. Dam it hurry!"

Prometheus ran after him as soon as the door opened Bruce threw Tabitha in "You don't know when to give up!" Prometheus lunged at Bruce swinging his sword with frightening precision.

Bruce jumped into the elevator just before it could close. He pressed the button for the parking garage. He started breathing heavy this was more exercise than he had since giving up fighting criminals. "I just have to get us to the car and then drive out easy." That was when Bruce heard a thump he looked up at the top of the elevator shaft "You have got to be kidding me. Who is this guy?"

Thankfully the elevator opened before Prometheus could attack and Bruce pulled Tabitha out he ran as fast as he could to his car he opened the driver's seat and tossed Tabitha in he shoved her into the passenger seat as he got in. He barely started the car in time before Prometheus started throwing shuriken at him. "Seriously?" Bruce shouted knowing he should be grateful he wasn't being fired at with a gun. Without hesitating he started the car and took off like a bat out of hell.

"Dam it!" Prometheus screamed watching Bruce get away fived minute passed and as he started to leave he saw Barbara Kean pull in. He watched her get out of her car and walk towards the elevator no doubt Barbara planned on talking Tabitha into coming with her for a night out or something along those lines a new plan formed in his mind "Time for plan B." Prometheus whispered. He then stealthily followed Barbara was she walked to the elevator completely ignorant of the events that had just transpired. Prometheus had done his homework and knew about her training with Ra's al Ghul so he knew to be quick Barbara didn't even notice him until it was too late. He subdued her with ease and covered her mouth and nose just long enough for her to lose consciousness.

Prometheus threw her over his shoulder and then he left the parking garage. Before leaving he took out a cell phone and dialed a number "I've neutralized Kean. I know it wasn't part of the plan I had to adjust things slightly. Contact everyone provide them with details of phase one. I will detain Barbara Kean and proceed to enact my part of the plan."

Arkham Asylum two hours later…

His name was Henry he was a middle aged African American man with a wife, two sons, and three daughters. He was working a triple shift and at this point he was tired as hell, but he couldn't pass the money up. Henry paid close attention to the monitor for the security cameras, but the lack of sleep was getting to him. He closed his eyes for a second then he snapped out of it "Dam I need some coffee." He turned away from the monitor about to get up when he was shot in the shoulder with an arrow.

"Is this the control room for cell door release?"

"Yes but that's for emergencies only like a fire or-"

Prometheus shot him with a second arrow "What the hell do you think this is? Now hit the emergency release button or I'll put an arrow in your throat!"

"Alright! Alright." Henry did what he was told he pressed in the right code and then hit a big red button. There was a loud alarm and all the cells opened, chaos ensued. "Why are you doing this?" Henry asked completely horrified.

Prometheus walked closer to him his mask only added the horror Henry could not see the eyes of this masked man it was like was staring into an abyss "Because I can." Prometheus fired another arrow.

"No please!" the Arrow pierced his chest and he died. Prometheus took a moment to look at the man what was going through his mind as any man's guess. Prometheus then left.

Wayne Manor…

Bruce looked at Tabitha as she laid on the couch unconscious his mind was racing not sure what to do "Whatever he gave you it really knocked you out. Still out like a log." Bruce couldn't be righter Tabitha had been out for hours and showed no sign of coming to. Bruce made two calls to Jim hoping he could help but Jim hadn't answered his phone which worried him not as much as the prospect of Tabitha waking up though. The last time a Galavan was in his home he had been kidnapped and the last time he was this close to Tabitha he was about to be burned alive. "No telling what she might do if she wakes up." That's when an idea occurred to Bruce.

It was in the morning when Tabitha woke up her wrists were tied behind her back she looked around confused the last thing she remembered was that freak in the costume and everything going dark "Where the hell am I?" Tabitha tried to get up but found her ankles and legs bound by belts.

"Good morning. I hope you weren't too uncomfortable on the couch." Bruce said as he brought in some eggs and grilled cheese on a plate.

"What the hell is this is?"

"Well you were attacked by a masked ninja and I saved you while nearly getting killed in the process your welcome by the way. He said his name was Prometheus any idea who he might be?"

"No."

"Oh come on. Tabitha your brother, Theo was the last guy who dressed up in a weird costume. I also heard a rumor that Barbara was connected to a man named Ra's al Ghul who if I'm not mistaken was known for being connected to some rather unusual individuals." Bruce set Tabitha's plate on the coffee table. Then he walked over to help her sit up straight "Now tell me whose he more likely connected to? The Order of Saint Dumas or Ra's al Ghul?"

Tabitha took a deep breath and sighed "Honestly he could be from either one I don't know much about Ra's al Ghul but I doubt the Order if they wanted revenge for me betraying Theo would have someone chloroform me. Honestly though there was something about him." Tabitha shivered.

"What is it?"

"Have you ever met someone and just got a bad vibe from them?" Tabitha asked coming off as surprisingly human. He found her question funny considering she came off as a rather cold and scary person herself.

"Yeah I've met some people like that." Bruce answered not telling Tabitha he was referring to her.

"Well I got a scary vibe from this guy it was just a split second but the reason I didn't react or defend myself was I knew it would be pointless. I just froze and maybe I just instinctively knew I was weaker than him but I just couldn't do anything."

Bruce saw how afraid she was and for some reason he opened up to her "I saw a friend of mine killed his name Alex. Ra's al Ghul slit his throat right in front of me and I couldn't do anything."

Tabitha looked away from him "Not sure what your expecting."

"There's something that has been bothering me." Bruce picked up the spoon and dug into the scrambled eggs. He got a spoonful and held it up to Tabitha's mouth she took a bite and swallowed.

"What is it?"

"There's something about you I don't understand. You are a killer some would even call you a monster Tabitha. I heard about what you did to Penguin's mother, but I've also heard about how much you care about your friends and loved ones. I know how much you hate Ed for what he did to you and that man Butch Gilzean."

"Is there a point?" Tabitha started to get angry.

"How can you care about someone yet care so little for another?"

"It's not like I had a choice I was raised to be a killer. I met Butch and I guess." Tabitha stopped her face became sad "He was the closest thing to normal I could ever hope for when he looked at me he didn't see a freak. Same for Barbara but lately after meeting Selina I've started to think…" Tabitha stopped "It doesn't matter I'm a monster and that's the end of it."

Even though Tabitha was glaring at Bruce, he could tell there was a pain in her eyes. He didn't recognize it at first but then he finally realized why he even started this weird conversation the look in Tabitha's eyes was the same Matches Malone had. In that moment Bruce finally understood Tabitha Galavan and he wished he didn't he wished he could go back to seeing her as a soulless monster. Still he had a feeling she'd react badly if he said anything, so he went along with it "Yeah sure you are. Look I'm sure Gordon will be here soon until then seeing as I can't trust you I'll just leave you tied up until he arrives. In the meantime, let's watch the news."

Bruce turned on the TV and what came on shocked them both the city was in chaos escaped Arkham inmates were reportedly running a muck. In addition, multiple banks had been hit and small stores were being robbed as well, it was a massive crime wave. The worst part was the assaults on police officers. "No wonder Jim hasn't answered me. This is a nightmare."

"You can say that again." Tabitha added it surprised Bruce she agreed with him.

"I'd think you'd love this."

"Well I'm not a total monster." Tabitha was surprising herself there was a time when something like this would have excited her now she mortified "Think that guy who tried kidnapping me had anything to do with this?"

"No doubt in my mind the only question is why was he after you? Maybe you and Barbara pissed him off somehow."

"Selina could have done something to. You will not believe the number of times I've had to pull her ass out of-"

"Trouble, I can imagine. I just hope she's alright."

"She'll be fine." Tabitha spoke confidently "What kind of trouble could she possibly get into-"

In that moment Tabitha and Bruce locked eyes "I'm sure she's fine Tabitha I mean really what's the worst thing that could happen to her?"

Prometheus's Lair…

Barbara woke up feeling like she had just had the worst hangover in history Barbara looked around saw she was in a large cage. There was a small bed, a toilet and sink. "Charming." Barbara rolled her eyes "Where the hell am I?"

"My home." Prometheus stepped out of the darkness his appearances startled Barbara making her take a step or two back "My name is Prometheus, for the time being Ms. Kean, you are my guest."

"You one of Oswald's flunkies or something?"

"No. I hate him as much as I hate the Falcone Family. Your friend Tabitha Galavan was supposed to be staying here but I had to tweak my plans slightly." Barbara noticed he was carrying a trey of food then she noticed a sliding door at the bottom he slid the plate of food through "Don't worry if all goes as planned your stay will be brief. I brought you beagles your favorite."

"Geez thanks." Barbara stopped thinking of something "How'd you know I like beagles?"

"Just eat I'll be back later." Prometheus then left.

Barbara watched the masked man leave through an old wooden door "Well at least things can't get any weirder."

A random street same time…

Harvey Bulloch was just minding his own business drinking some coffee. He was taking time to decompress and get things sorted out. Harvey was trying to figure out what his gave plan was in all honesty he was having second thoughts about quitting the force and he was giving serious thought to calling Jim.

He had just finished his coffee when something impossible happened a weird swirl of bright light appeared in front of him. His eyes widened in disbelief "Holy moly." As soon as he said this a young woman fell out of it she had red hair, but Harvey could tell she dyed it that way. What was weirder was she was dressed in some sort of bat costume.

The young woman looked up at him and asked "What year is it?"
