~Enigma's POV~
Never in all my life have I seen so much rain in Gotham. It's been nonstop since I left the gala a week or so ago. Luckily I used the waterproof dye or else I'd look like an oompa lompa mess. The shingles on the roof itself were slippery as I ran across them. Tonight would be the official reappearance of my former self, Enigma.
Sure, a soft rumor surfaced in Gotham's underground and Batman most certainly knew about it. Yet, the rest of Gotham laid oblivious to the fact the Riddler's daughter had returned.
I slipped in the window, disabling the company's minor security with my phone. The laboratory is a mess, paper work scattered everywhere. Luckily, the process of locating the computer was simple for that's all I need.
Earlier tonight I had been 3 other places. My first stop was the Bank of Gotham. No villain needed to go to banks anymore to rob them blind because banks had more virtual money then anything they keep on hand. Nonetheless, I went anyway, taking whatever they had and leaving not even a quarter for a gum ball. Money wasn't the reason I hit the joint. In fact the only reason I even visited the bank was it made the perfect distraction for later on. Walls leading up to the bank were lined with dynamite, set to blow later on in tonight. Strangely, no Batman or Robin was to be seen at this stop. Only the idiotic guards on duty. The bank didn't have many working tonight when I broke in, maybe three tops. Still, all dead now.
Riddle me this, why do people in Gotham take jobs as security supervisors if they're so poorly trained? Answer: Their imbeciles, bounded by the greed of money. Unless you have a death wish, never take on the role of a security anything in Gotham.The second stop was a blast, literally speaking. West town market was blown to smithereens. Honestly, the Bats should have seen the explosion I left Gotham or had any plans to, I left a riddle leading them straight to the three places I would be tonight. The market had been on my father's list of stuff to discard for an embarrassingly long time, so I don't know why no one saw it coming.
The flames of red and yellow always gave off this sort of homey feeling. I don't know why they did, it was just calming to watch. I didn't stay long,hearing those pesky sirens roar down the street. Not like the threat of GCPD forced me to leave, it was the fire which sent a distasteful scent of burnt fish my way. Yuck!
Anyways, that's how I ended up here, in a science laboratory funded by Lexcorp and hidden on the 7th floor of a standard corporate building. Very few knew about the place, or degraded it to be a simple office building.
Breaking in was simple for a hacker of my skills. I mean really? CSIT 23 is nothing for a girl of my stature whose been hacking since she could count. All you had to do was insert a trojan to their firewall and it became protective of you. A part of me wondered if I should turn the alarms back on, no one had come yet to challenge me. It was rather insulting.
Anyways, I look back down at the computer, using my knife to open it up. Data chips, that is the main reason I came to this facility. I needed to find the one that would give me the most recent access to Gotham's satellites which watched the city vigorously. Those programs were always a key item to steal and fun to obtain. The next morning I could watch as everyone around became nervous from the lack of security on their daily lives. Don't they know nothing's private in this world. Nothing escaped the Internet's view, nothing ever truly deleted in this age. I grin, having a devilish idea of my own."Note to self: must hack snapchat later, see how many people start freaking out to see their photos posted everywhere on the web."
A red light flashes above the computer I was working on. "An alarm has been trigger." I whisper quietly, confirming the fact for myself as their security system shows me the intruders. I smirk, Cops. Thanks to the CSIT 23 it warned me I had a little more then 10 seconds to get the hell out of there. Yet, What fun would it be if I played this thing safe?
