A/n: I'm back~

It has been two months since they dropped you off at Arkham City. You started off great, but now you were cold, starving, and lonely. It was winter, of course. The snow fell harder by the day, and the pain in your stomach grew every day that you refused to use your power.

'if I freeze to death, at least I won't have to fight the gangs for food' you thought, then laughed wryly.

There were five main gangs in Arkham City, and they each follow one of five villains; The Penguin, The Riddler, The Joker, Mr. Freeze, and Two-Face. It seemed that all of them wanted you, dead or alive because you had a strong relationship with Bruce Wayne.

'if they want you dead, kill them first. Its that easy~' a dark but familiar voice in the back of your mind said. The one that always questioned why you did good things for people without any thanks. But it has never been this vivid. You shuddered at the dark thought.

You, (Y/n) (L/n), could not, under any circumstances whatsoever, go to the dark side. Not only did you have Bruce and (B/f/n) counting on you, now you had Thomas, a scrawny 15-year-old boy relying on you as well. You had found Thomas the day you got thrown in. He tried to rob you, and then found out you didn't have food, money, or anything trade-able. You later found a loaf of bread and gave it to him. You had been partners ever since, and the two of you acted like brother and sister.

"(Y/n/n)!" Thomas yelled, shaking you out of your thoughts, "Are we going or what?"

By going, he meant the big plan that the two of you had been working on. Operation Eurus. Named after the sister of a certain famous detective in Thomas's favorite British television show, who could escape her prison through trickery and manipulation.

Yes, the two of you have been saving up rations and supplies for three months just for this. You and Thomas were going to break out of Arkham City.

"Alright, Tommy. Let's get going." Between the two of you, You had two bags, each with enough food, clothes, and weapons to last the two of you a while in case you got separated.

###

Two hours later, you were waiting for Thomas to show up at the gate, where the officials always dropped off food and "fresh meat".

You heard the snow crunch behind you, which made you whip around. You recognised the man sneaking up on you as one of Joker's gang.

Of course, he had to have a gun with a bayonet on it. You only had a baseball bat.

This wasn't going to be a fair fight, and you knew it. The only thing going for you was the knowledge that ammunition was practically impossible to get in Arkham City.

You could only hope for was that Thomas would find you before the man offed you.

He was an older man, in his late fourties, with a clown mask on. You grinned with a madness that could only be found in the darkest parts of Arkham City. "You really wanna mess with me?"

"Joker says he wants ya, he's gonna get ya..."

" Alright, in that case,–" you pulled out a knife as a secondary weapon, "– let's dance."
