Chapter 4: Goodbye, Gotham!
Black Mask and his whole criminal organization who he called the False Face Society were waiting in his office for his men to come back with any news they have of how they can get to the kingdom of Arendelle in the blink of an eye. Mask had ordered his men to scour all corners of the city in every alley and dumpster until they found one of those magic crystals that can take them to the far reaches of the multiverse. He was starting to become impatient as he really thought someone would have found something by now. "What the hell is taking so long?!", he yelled. "I sent those idiots out hours ago! Why aren't they back yet?!", he yelled again. "I'm sure they'll be back soon, boss. Just try to be patient.", one of his men said. Black Mask turned toward the guy who said that and replied, "First off, Rick, don't ever tell me what to do! I'm the boss here! Second, I've been patient long enough to be as powerful as I once was until the fucking Joker showed up and destroyed my empire. I'll also never forget how he killed Tiffany who was the one woman I ever truly loved!", he said. "Isn't that what you also said about that Circe girl who your parents said you couldn't be with?", another guy asked. "Okay, maybe not the only girl I've ever loved, but you guys get what I mean.", he said. Just then, the men he sent to find a crystal had returned. "Boss, we found what you wanted.", one goon said. The thug handed Sionis the bright pink crystal. Roman cracked a mischievous smirk underneath his mask as he began to have high hopes for what he was planning. "Nice job, boys. Where did you find it?", he asked. "We actually found it by your old steel mill. We were really lucky not to get caught by Harley's guys while we were poking around there.", the thug answered. "Are you sure you want to do this, boss? I mean, I really think you can still make a comeback here if you stick around.", Rick said. "I'm sure. Like I said before, Gotham's not the same place it once was when I ran it a decade ago. I've had my fill of it and the shithole it is now. Also, like I said, I want to go somewhere that has none of this superhero bullshit like a lot of the other surrounding cities have too. Personally, I would rather take on the likes of some blonde chick with polar hocus pocus than any member of the Bat family or that invulnerable flying douchebag from Metropolis.", Roman said. "I don't know. I'm sure you heard she really helped Batman take down Scarecrow, Riddler, and Ivy in the last year.", one of his men said. "Yeah, well Scarecrow shows how much of a pussy he really is when he's drugged by his own poison. Riddler's mouth is way bigger than his brain is. And Ivy was too stupid to know that plants die in the cold is why she lost to this snow queen to begin with. With you guys at my side, we'll run her and her family out of her kingdom in no time. Besides, I imagine there's lots of gold and treasure somewhere in their castle that I'd love to see for myself.", he said He was inspecting the crystal to figure out how to make it work, but wasn't sure. "Jimmy, you've seen how this works. Tell me what to do.", Sionis instructed. "Well, when I went to that one weird place with Two-Face, he said the name of the place he wanted to go and it took us there.", Jimmy explained. Black Mask nodded his head as he processed that information and did just that. "Arendelle.", is what he said to the little pink thing he had in his hand. The crystal grew brighter which made the crime lord drop it and it hit the floor. A portal then opened up which already sucked in all of his men. Roman took one last look through his office window at Gotham and said, "So long, Gotham! May you rot and burn in Hell!". He then jumped through the portal himself to pursue his new goal to claim Arendelle as his own.
