Welcome back and Enjoy
"How long has it been? A decade?" Eda asked Raine as the two were talking in a small restaurant that Lilith had recommended for her sister mostly due to whose turf the building was in. "Years, since I've dropped out and now I'm here with my band and trying to make a living." "And you never moved?"
"Eda this place is my home may as well die in it." Eda chuckled a bit. "Hey whatever happened between us is gone, let's just forget about it alright?" Raine said to Eda who simply nodded as the two then ate while Steve was watching them from across the block and taking pictures inside a car before driving off to a club and entering and approaching the owner.
"Excuse me sir but I would like to discuss you giving ownership of this place to my boss?." "And why the hell would a do that?" "Steve then pulled out a few photos of several beaten girls that worked there. "So either I give you a one-way ticket out of Gotham or an anonymous tip to the police will shut this down, you have a minute to give an answer or..." Steve then pulled out his gun and placed the barrel in front of the manager's head. "I'll simply put a bullet into your fucking head."
Camila sat down unable to work from her stress on thanksgiving night and simply stayed home with Luz as it was now the weekend. "Mo are you alright you haven't worked in two days." "I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about." She said as Luz could see through her mother's lie before leaving for her job with Eda while Camila went to the bedroom and opened a drawer pulling out a snub revolver and removing the bullets while spinning the chamber over and over while aiming it at a mirror.
At the pawnshop, Luz was with Eda who was currently injecting herself with her remaining medicine. "So your sick?" "Yeah The only reason I didn't tell anyone was cause well, it's hard to understand." "And your using drugs to cope with it." "It's the only way to ease the pain."
Eda said while cleaning Owlbert's and Hooty's cage while King played with Luz as the door opened as Steve walked as Eda reached for a shotgun under the counter. "Relax "Owl Lady" I just want to tell you that..." "If it's about my sister then go ahead..." Steve then snapped his fingers as a few suited men came in with a few boxes and laced them in the backroom while Steve handed her an envelope. "And here is your pay." He then left with the rest of the men as Eda then locked up before ordering Luz to simply head home as she went to open the boxes which were full of drugs and firearms. "The thing I do for a payday."
"Well, we got it madam Lilith why did you need this place again?" One of her men asked as Lilith looked at the club she had gotten from the now "Former" manager. "Now we redecorate, furnish, and then reopen this place." She said while looking at the stage in the front with a microphone before going to the manager's office and seeing the former bouned and gagged. "Steve my cane." Steve then handed Lilith her exotic cane and she simply aimed it at his head before pulling the small trigger on the top and soon brains and blood splattered the room.
"Clean it up and call Falcone, I need this place ready as soon as possible, now you two come with me we have a zoologist to visit." She ordered two of her men before getting into a car and driving off to the local university at night after bribing the nightguards and finding a single room with a light inside, Lilith and her men looked around before waiting as one of the faculty members walked in and was jumped by them as Lilith looked at a photo.
"A wife and child, the simple home life..." "What do you want?" "Oh I know what I want and you're going to help me Dr. Langstrom," Lilith told him in a calm voice before handing him a blood sample. "Go on examine it." With no choice, he put the sample under a microscope. "This is... astounding the entire genetic code has been rewritten and human DNA is now bonded with..."
"Enough talk... can you reverse it?" "It's hard... to do without..." Lilith then pulled out a newspaper and shoved it into his face which read, Batman or Man-Bat? "It doesn't take a skilled detective to match your studies with the creature you made... now you help me get what I want and I won't give any obvious evidence to the police or... I just kill you and your family will be my next roast beef, so doctor what'll it be?"
Lilith finished before aiming her cane at him and taking a vail of Man-Bat formula and putting it in her pocket.
"Mom I'm home!" Luz said but she got no answer as she looked around before entering her mother's bedroom and finding newspapers scattered on the floor which read Vigilante kills local drug traffickers, Vigilante declared insane, VIGILANTE COPYCAT? Black Spider takes down the local mob as Luz frantically started trying to call her mother but to no response.
"You sure that's the only metal thing you have?" "Yes," Camila said to the local Arkham guard Arron Cash before walking to her normal section and quickly changing direction and walking down rows and rows of doors before stopping at one that read A Chase and opening the door as several gunshots soon rang out.
