We're in this together now.

It was quiet, quiet and dark, no one was in the house anymore, there was no sign of anyone. The police moved around but still there was no one, he was gone he'd slipped through their fingers again and he was probably laughing at them right now.

They stared at the empty room before finding only one table in the grand hall, it was centered in the middle of the hall right under the huge glass sky light.

They stared at the descellent halls and forgotten walk ways, dust patches on the walls showed were pictures of one art had once been but were now gone.

They looked around the room their eyes landing on the table again before they read what it said.

'I took my bite. Thanks. Signed The Great White Shark.'

They'd lost him again, he'd slipped through their nets again.

The conman was out on the streets once more, probably conning another poor individual into giving him their money.

But they had a feeling that one day, the Shark was going to get his comeuppance.

Luna and Lui were panicking. They didn't know were Jonathan was and some of the glass objects were damaged and broken.

It looked like a fight had happened.

"What happened, Lui?" Luna whispered as she stared at the destruction.

"I don't know Luna," he whispered. "But what are we going to do?"

Luna paused and looked around the room, her eyes wondered over the various medical and science equipment before she snapped her fingers and they were suddenly in Gotham.

"Luna?"

"We'll see Eddie, he'll know what to do!" Luna cried as she grabbed Lui and ran through another shadow and another and another.

They never stopped, light and then dark invading there eyes until they reached the bright white lab that was Edward's.

He had his back turned to them, he never even noticed them until Lui called out to him.

Edward yelped and span around to see the small boy and then he noticed Luna just as the little girl fell to the floor.

Lui frowned at the loud noise behind him. "Luna?" he questioned as he turned and at the sight of his sister his eyes widened. "Luna!"

Glass shattered, Edward fell to his knees holding his head in pain, car alarms were going off it was chaos.

"Lui!" Edward chocked as he gripped his head staring at the small boy who was staring wide eyed at his sister. "Lui, stop!" he crawled over to the boy and turned him towards himself, shaking him slightly. "Lui, she's jus tired that's all!"

Lui slowly began to calm and his eyes turned back to they original colour not the deep purple they were and he stood staring at Edward who was holding his head and staring at the boy in shock.

He slowly got to his feet and wondered out into the hall and noticed the police were getting off the ground too.

Had they felt it?

He continued until he was at the main room and sure enough everyone was groaning and looking confused, glass was broken everywhere and the lights had blown.

"Whoa," Edward muttered as he stared at the chaos around him, before he wandered back to the forensic department.

Lui was still standing there, staring at his sister. He was still frightened but he at least had calmed down enough to not hurt everyone in the GCPD.

Edward paused.

Lui's power had hurt everyone in the GCPD, every single person and the was because he lost control. What would it be like if he used that much power against just one person?

What would happen if he was able to control that power, hold that much strength over people?

He looked back at the small boy who was pulling his sister towards him and cradling her, whispering into her ear fro her to wake up and not to leave him alone in the dark again. He hated to be left in the dark alone.

Edward was silent and simply observed as he was left to wonder just how dangerous was the boy going to be?

The streets were heavy with rain and pollution. Not a sight of a single person on the streets as the rain covered the streets.

There was only one boy on the streets and he was examining a piece of wood before he placed it in his pocket and walked towards the old steel works, sneaking in was easy enough fro him. No one worked there anymore.

As he wondered inside, a few rats scurried out his feet, before the ran off into the shadows.

He walked into the main room, the furnace was going bright and gold, it's heat spread through the room but it was still not ready.

Sitting next to the furnace was another boy, this one much smaller then the other, who was carrying a bag slung over his back before he walked over to a table and dumped it on there.

The other boy span around and stared at him, tilting his head to the side in confusion.

"What's in there?" he asked suddenly and the other boy smirked, pulling the hood down of his grey hoody letting his black hair fall in front of his eyes.

"Equipment."

Dury frowned. "For what?"

"I told you, we're gonna make Gotham burn."

"But-."

"Dury will you just shut up!" Lyons snapped as he glared at the boy who was questioning him. "It ain't twenty freaking questions!"

Dury faltered and backed away from the older boy and he looked around frantically. "I don't know if I want to make Gotham burn, Gar…"

Gar's head snapped up and he glared. "Oh?" he growled as he stormed over to him. "You leaving me already, abandoning me like the others?!"

"They didn't abandon you!" Dury snapped. "You left them! You had a choice to stay but you chose to leave!"

"Don't you dare raise your voice to me!" Gar snarled as he jumped at the smaller kid.

Dury jumped to the side but tripped on his laces falling towards the furnace.

"Garfield!"

Firefly's eyes widened and he ran over to the falling Dury, grabbing his coat and swinging him around so it Lyons that was facing the furnace and not Moth.

Dury fell to the floor and Gar fell backwards towards the furnaces, he quickly grabbed the side of the scolding metal, screaming as it burnt his flesh and cooked it on contact.

"Garfield!" Dury shouted and he grabbed the boy's arms pulling away from the furnaces, leaving some of the skin of Gar's fingers on the scolding hot metal as it pulled away.

"Oh, Gar!" Moth whimpered as he looked down at Firefly's hands, the skin had been so badly burnt and cooked it had peeled away and left on the metal.

Garfield stared at his hands as they shook from the pain and he slowly began to laugh lightly, before it turned into a full blown laugh something only a crazy person would laugh at would be pain.

"Gar?" he whispered as he stared at the boy who was laughing at the pain of being burnt.

"That…" Gar breathed. "Was fantastic!"

"What?"

"I said that was fantastic!" Firefly breathed as he flexed his fingers and grinned. "Truly that was… wow, the most amazing thing I have ever felt in my life. Apart from my face of course."

"Of course…"

Firefly walked back to his bag and began to pulling out bits of mechanical devices and a helmet with a breathing apparatus attached to it.

Dury stared at the things that were laid out in front of him, one of them being a lighter with a firefly embossed in it.

He continued to stare and saw a orange and yellow spray paint with a stencil of a firefly next to them.

"Umm Garfield?"

"Don't worry Moth," Gar chuckled pulled a bottle with some cloth attacked to it. "We're gonna be fine, it's time to light 'em up."

Edward simply stared as the brother and sister retold their tale before he smiled and shook his head.

"You two don't need to worry, Jon knocked those things over when I was there, every things fine."

Luna paled and rubbed her still sore head from when she fell to the floor. "But we don't know where he is."

"I think I have a good idea where he might be," Edward muttered before he turned to the brother and sister. "But you two don't need to come, if you go back home and see if you could make Jonathan a sandwich for him when I bring him home, is that okay?"

Luna and Lui smiled before they walked towards one of the shadows.

"It's just a good thing it wasn't a serious problem," Luna whispered before she smiled and ran through the shadow with her brother following.

Edward shook his head before he smiled. "I'd love to know how they did that," he grinned and packed his things away, wondering out of the forensic department, saying goodnight to people but never getting one back.

He sighed and shook his head. There was nothing wrong with him, he knew that.

He was always polight and nice and kind, he never went out of line… well… maybe there was an incident with the medical examiner but… that was nothing, he was terrible at his job anyway. No big loss.

As he continued he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and he frowned.

Who would text him?

He quickly pulled it out and smiled as he read the name at the top.

Of course it would be Jonathan.

Upon opening the text, his smile left his face and he couldn't help but frown slightly at the odd wording.

'Need help. At the docks. Come now.'

What on earth was going on?

It wasn't a long drive to the docks, surprisingly the GCPD was actually quite close.

It was dark though, since the evening was coming in and he frowned before he watched the sky line turn a deep orange and then it slowly began to fade to black.

That's when he saw him.

A figure silhouetted against the orange sky, facing his way.

As he looked closer he then recognised the lanky figure to be that of Jonathan and he wondered over to him, turning into a run as his friend went and ran off around the corner.

As he went around the bend he almost slipped in the blood that covered the ground, pooling and spreading out as it ran towards the water, disappearing into the sea as it went.

He stared at the body, it really was a mess, there were cuts all over the man, blood pouring at the injuries like a waterfall and he couldn't help but grimace slightly at the sight, even after all the crime scenes he'd seen this was beyond bad.

"It was an accident," came a whisper next to his ear, a whisper he instantly recognised as Scarecrow.

Edward turned to glare at the boy that was his friend, but was greeted by the monster staring back at him.

"Why did you kill him?"

"I told you, it was an accident," Scarecrow chuckled. "Jonny's freaking out at the moment.

"You killed him."

"Accidentally."

"How can you kill someone accidentally?"

"Would you believe it was self deffense?

Edward frowned. "No I wouldn't."

Scarecrow chuckled. "I didn't think you would," he grinned before he pushed Edward over and he landed in the blood, it splattered up his face and smothered his clothes.

He scrambled to his feet, staring down at his bloody suit, tying him to the crime and the death.

He stared at himself in shock and horror, behind him the Scarecrow tutted and shook his head in mock dismay. "Ahh, Edward I am so sorry, but you know what that means?" he chuckled and leaned next to his ear, Edward suddenly felt burlap sacking instead of what he expected which was skin. "You and me," he hissed and chuckled slightly. "We're in this together now, Edward."

Too engrossed in crime they were now connected to, they failed to notice the figure dressed in grey and black staring at them from behind, a smile suddenly plagued his lips and he pulled out a piece of paper,scratching another name of his list. He giggled ever so slightly before he turned back to face the forensic and the boy who stood before his latest work, of course he hadn't had time to calve the name in but that was okay.

He looked back at his list and grinned at the name 'Edward' that was roughly written in black ink across the crinkly paper, an obvious indication that it had been well used and opened and the re-opened time and time again.

As Anonymous gazed over the name his head turned back to two that were staring over his work and he grinned. "I found you," he whispered in a sing song voice before he laughed and disappeared like a ghost into the twilight of the city, disappearing without a trace.

Like an anonymous shadow that belonged to no one.

Edward slowly got to his feet and stared at the boy before him before he took a few uncertain steps away from him and swallowed.

"So…" Scarecrow chuckled. "Let's get to work…" he giggled once more before he walked past Edward and called behind him. "Riddler."

The reign of terror had begun and the beginning of questions was only just being posed.
