"This is not what I had in mind." I stated bluntly as I was cuffed to a table aboard the Watchtower. My two interrogators were Batman and The Martian Manhunter. They both stood adjacent to where I sat in the chair. Batman more in the corner of the room, staring down at me. As the Rider, I had the ability to see everyone's crimes and questionable actions, even their identities, no matter how concealed it was.
I decided to wait for the right moment to see spring that little surprise on them. But my biggest concern was Ashley , being about two hours late to dinner. Since I was brought to the Watchtower, they must have run a back ground check on me and found out that I had a younger sister and told her there was an 'incident' and I was taken up to the tower for questioning. I could feel that both heroes were trying to read my facial expressions but I kept a blank expression, betraying nothing on what I was thinking.
"You are thinking about your younger sister. If we have gone to her and asked anything about your given abilities." Stated the Martian. I mentally cursed myself as I forgot that the Martian could do that.
"Then you better leave her out of it." I declared, shifting in my chair. "She has nothing to do with what I do."
"And that is?" Asked Batman, ever the skeptic. I looked at him, eyes locked with his.
"If I just told you, where would the fun be in that?" I mused, a small smirk forming on my lips. Batman narrowed his eyes behind his cowl. Manhunter injected after my last statement.
"You told the others that you are the 'Devil's' bounty hunter." Said the Martian as he looked at me. I leaned back in my chair, I nodded as that was what I had told them. However Batman was not convinced.
"I find that hard to believe." stated the Dark Knight, but I just had to snort at the irony.
"Batman finds this hard to believe? The one regular human who works with a Martian, a woman with hawk wings and an energy mace, an intergalactic corp member with a green ring that allows him to created anything he can imagine, a man that certainly lives up to the title "Super", a woman from an island of just woman all trained from birth to be warriors, and the fastest man alive. And you find it hard to believe that I work for the Devil?" I listed out everything that made this situation and how hypocritical he just sounded.
"I don't know whether to slap you in the face or pity you." Batman's glare just worsened. Martian decided to make a comment of his own.

"Please, you must understand. We know what you are going through and we can-" I cut off the Martian leaning forward so we were more face to face.
"What? Save my soul?" I challenged, the Martian this time narrowed his own eyes.
"Well, I'm telling you J'onn J'onzz I sold it." I said his name, making him lean back in surprise that I knew his name, I then looked at Batman.
"Believe what you want Mr. Wayne, but that is the truth, and the Devil was the only one buying." I stated and leaned back in the chair. Martian and Batman looked at each other before leaving. They exited the room, and closed the door behind them. I know what I had done, I had touched a nerve on Batman, figuring out his Identity when I had never met him before. I looked over at the camera, and waved smugly as I had beaten the Batman at interrogation.
