There are reports that the infamous mutant 'Magneto' is in the streets of Gotham. A prison break confirmed this information as this video was captured on December 15th, two days ago.

Twelve guards confirmed dead and around fifteen injured. The damage on the prison was thousands but the damage in our hearts is the biggest. Will Magnetos's killing spree ever end? Are all mutants like Magneto?

Erika watched the news report, her eyes focused on the blonde reporter - Vicki Vale. Erika stood up, the cold rooftop not helping Erika, but she didn't feel the cold too much. Her mind were on recent events and how she heard rumors of a protest against mutants, and she knew this is the place to show the world Magneto lives on.

A sigh escaped her dry pink lips as she looked down on the lively city below her as she closed her blue eyes, feeling the cold air blow against her skin. Erika's guard went back up once she heard a gun cock right behind her head. She could feel the metal on the back of her head, her eye twitching as she didn't turn around.

"So you're the infamous Magneto." A deep voice spoke behind her, the gun not moving an inch. A smirk was placed on her face as she turned around, her hand pushing the gun away from head as this man didn't move the gun an inch.

A scowl formed on her face as she just looked at the gun, her eyes going from the gun to the man's glowing eyes. Erika look at this man clearly, observing every detail. This man had an all black suit with a bat symbol, pointy ears and weapons all around his waist.

Erika raised an amused eyebrow as she eyed him up and down. The man was basically a walking magnet and he put a gun to the one person who controls metal. The irony was astonishing. "you must be the infamous batman. Real original."

"Why are you here?" He asked, his white glowing eyes scanned over her body, his guard higher than ever. Erika did pose a threat and Bruce didn't want to thrown off this building because she doesn't like him. He had to sweet talk his way into her brain. "Y'know, for the world's greatest detective, you really can't put one and one together and piece that-"

"And you come here, looking for trouble, put a gun to my head and just expect me to answer to you."

"Tranquilizer Gun - plastic dart, you couldn't stop it if you tried." He spoke smugly as Erika held her composure and didn't throw the man off the building. Erika ignored his statement and walked over to the edge of the building. Batman still didn't know why she was here and he was determined to get answers. "I will ask again. Why are you in Gotham?"

Erika turned around to face him, opening her mouth to speak but felt her powers manifest. She closed her mouth, her vision turning a shade of red as she closed her eyes. She turned to the right, putting her hand out in front of her as she opened her palm.

Her eyes opened, a metal bullet stopped right before it hit her forehead. Bruce watched this scene unfold, watching her powers as she didn't even need to focus to stop a bullet. Erika examined the bullet with amusement as she spoke, "excellent marksmanship,"

She walked out of the bullet's path, her hand still in front of her. "7.62mm - a standard sniper. Interesting. If you were going to snipe one of the strongest mutants alive, would you use a standard sniper to do so?" Erika spoke to herself, twisting the bullet to face the opposite direction. This is when Bruce spoke.

"Erika, do not do this! Does a life not matter to you?" Bruce jumped out at the mutant, trying to stop her from sending the bullet back to the person who sent it. Hopefully that person had an watchful eye and noticed the bullet did not hit its target.

Erika turned to Bruce, her hand still in mid air as she held a scowl. "This person just tried to kill me and yet here you are the person who wants answers from me. You are either with me or against me, and this is the place where you make your decision."

A short-lived silence filled the two people's lungs before Erika sighed outwardly and flicked her wrist to the right, sending the bullet with the same momentum from a sniper. Erika didn't see if the bullet hit and she wasn't going to let fate have its way so she took matters into her own hands.

Bruce knew what had to be done to this woman but he wasn't going to kill her. Although this woman killed thousands, she didn't deserve that fate. She deserved Justice, she needed to be judged on her sins and her crimes. Bruce pulled out his tranquilizer gun and aimed it for the woman on the edge of the building to find her floating over the edge, her hands by her sides.

"Goodbye - we will soon meet again." Erika spoke, her eyes connecting with Bruce's before she flew in the direction she saw the bullet go.

Bruce clenched his jaw, debating whether he should go after the mutant, or if it is no use. Erika found the snipers original position, a fancy apartments building - which was definitely odd.

Erika was about to examine the area more thoroughly but she felt a small bit of pain in her neck as she rubbed the area to find a dart. Her eyes went wide as she pulled out the plastic dart from her neck as she clenched her jaw as her vision when hazy. Then she saw nothing.
