It had been ten months since the flooding of Gotham City.

Gotham was still cloaked in darkness but there was now a group of people trying to not only restore the city but bring a new sense of hope to the beat-down population.

This group of hopefuls was led by Mayor Reál.

She had been a pillar of strength and hope to the citizens of Gotham during these most trying of times. No matter how bleak things may have gotten - or still had the potential to become, she never lost her morale or sense of focus. She knew what she had envisioned for the future of Gotham and she refused to give up on the idea of that or to give up on her constituents.

Bella Reál was still rather green in her role as Mayor but her inexperience didn't make her ignorant and her ambitions didn't make her blind. She knew she wasn't going to change things for the better alone which is why she had been working tirelessly the last few months to gather a group of people she could trust with her vision.

She had enlisted various individuals, all from different sectors of Gotham's professional spheres, that she hoped could each bring something unique to the table. In forming this initiative, it didn't take her long to decide to reach out to Bruce Wayne, but it did take much longer for her to hear something back.
