Third Person Omniscient.

Steven looked for something to do while he was in Arkham City. He could leave anytime, but he wanted to know what was going on in this prison, so he ventures around to eavesdrop on the inmates.

"I heard White Diamond got thrown in here. She's probably been shattered already." Steven heard an inmate casually speak to another.

He almost flinched and showed some emotion on his face.

"What?" The other prisoner shared the expression Steven almost showed. "How'd Moonstone get her arrested and thrown in here? Did Steven bring her in?"

"I dunno, and I don't care." The first inmate shrugs. "Never liked her anyway. I hope they stick it to her good, if you know what I mean."

"I don't..."

Steven saw them both walk over to a small group of inmates, one of them glowing green. Steven's attention was immediately grabbed by that gem, since it's Detective Mode letting him know that there's an informant for Squaridot. And if Squaridot is in here, then she surely has a decent idea about what's going on behind the scenes.

Plus, it also means that she would be making him hunt down her trophies again, he might as well get ahead of her high expectations. Steven jumps down from the high ground and lands on an inmate to break his fall.

"Look out! It's Steven!" An inmate cried.

"What's he doing here?!" Another inmate fearfully

Steven doesn't bother to get in his usual fighting stance, they aren't threatening enough for him to even look like he still has a fighting spirit in him. He countered the first punch being sent to him and delivers a devastating head-punch to the inmate in retaliation.

"Kill him!" An inmate shouts.

Steven nonchalantly sidesteps and tripped a charging prisoner, making her hit the nearby wall with her face. Steven grabs an inmate and throws her at the window near the wall, her form shattering the glass and then she poofed upon landing on the shattered glass just right to puncture her body.

And then he became resourceful when he grabbed the head of another inmate and slammed her face onto the leftover pieces of glass on the window, which are sharp shards. The prodding shard went straight through the inmate's eye and she cried before poofing.

Now it was just him and the informant. He shoved her to the ground and pinned her with his foot at the side of her face.

"Squaridot... talk!" Steven demanded, putting some effort into his voice - but not enough for his interrogation.

He's just letting his body weight do the work.

"S-Sure! Whatever you say!" The informant surrenders easily, mostly because of his newfound reputation of being a shatterer.

"We're done..." Steven replies after she gives him the information and then he slams his knee on her head to squash it - hitting her right on the nose first.

Her form poofs. Steven leaves her gem in the snow, along with the other gemstones from the inmates who were foolish enough to pick a fight with him. He went to do other things, passing the time and collecting any trophies in the meantime.
