(This is a sequel to my Assault on Arkham, I do suggest you read that first)

6 Years, 6 long years, that's how long it's been since the last time (Y/N) had been to Gotham City. Just as he had one almost every night, a had a cop in front of him, strung up and captured, bound to wall by several ropes, stripped of all weapons. It was clear by the expressions of the cops face he was afraid. (Y/N) at this point had made himself a new mask, looked exactly like his old mask except this one had a voice filter which made his voice sound more deep thus disguising it. 

He also had a metal arrow pulled back aimed at the cops head, "Who else is one the payroll?" he asked annoyance and anger clear in his filtered voice. 

"Nobody I swear" the cop answered quickly. Quickly the arrow changed it's mark, firing and hitting the cop in his left hand, blood instantly began to pour from the wound and the cop cried out in pain. "What the fuck is wrong you with?"

"I WANT NAMES" he stormed to the strung up cop getting right in his face. "Who's on Sharks payroll?" he asked again, making sure the cop could see him reach for his katana. 

"NOBODY I'M TELLING THE TRUTH" he screamed, tears welling in his eyes. "Nobody in the district is being payed by Great White Shark. He only has one guy in each precinct" the cop continued to cry as he carried on. "I know something though, in Gotham somethings bigs going down that new prison cityyyyy" the last word dragged on as Prometheus cut the guard free. The guard had no time to celebrate however as Prometheus began to drag the injured cop by the foot. The cop struggled and attempted to kick the vigilante but to no avail.

The cop then found himself dangled over the side of the roof of the tall building, his head towards the street below. "Did I ask about Gotham?" he said shacking the cop. "Do you know where the other traitors to the law are?" he tilted his head to try and spook the hostage. 

"I-I-I don't, I know there's one in Gotham, but I can tell you where Great White Shark is" Prometheus simply breathed out his nose rather loudly. Great White Shark AKA Warren White, small time gangster slowly building a crew over the past few years, (Y/N)'s target of vengeance.  

"Where, where can I find White Shark?" he said calmly. 

"Arkham, you'll find Shark in Arkham City" you could see it in the cops eyes. He had hope, hope that'll he get out of this alive. That hope however, faded as Prometheus let go of the cops foot. The cop let out a terrified scream as he fell towards the ground.

Crash

He hit the roof of a card hard, the alarm could be heard and it's lights began to blare. Panicked screams could be heard as people ran in terror and fear. Prometheus just looked down at his work, happy that another corrupt cop is off the streets. 

As (Y/N) leaped from to rooftop to rooftop his mind wondered to around 6 years ago, the first and only time he visited Gotham. Task Force X, put together to do the dirty work the government didn't want to do. On that mission two members died, and everyone else either escaped or was recaptured. The only two captured was Captain Boomerang and Killer Frost, the latter he knew rather intimately. Gotham was a well of weirdos, and he had to go back to get some intel. 

As he reached back to his rundown apartment he noticed something, the entire building was in lockdown. Two choppers with machine guns mounted under them flew in the air, their lights shining into many of the windows. Snipers littered the rooftops, red lasers seemed like an ocean covering every square inch of the building. On the streets below, what seemed like 7 squads of military personnel. 

"Shit, not again" (Y/N) whispered to himself as he backed up. He took notice of the name that could be seen on the back of these personnel, it read 'Tyger' and their uniform consisted of black and grey outfit, each one on the ground armed with with high quality assault rifles. He had one option, run. 

He turned back the way he came, however as he did he noticed a rather large spotlight on his person.

"ON THE GROUND NOW!" a voice rang out from the chopper as the snipers all turned to their guns to his direction. (Y/N) could see the squads below all changing direction, making their way towards emergency fire exits on then sides of buildings. "ON THE GROUND NOW, YOUR FINAL WARNING" the other chopper now shined it's light on the vigilante's position. Playing along with the Tyger people, he slowly knelt down, very slowly. "NOW THROW YOUR WEAPONS ON THE GROUND NOW!" the voice rang out again. 

This was the moment he had been waiting for. As he unhooked his bow and showed it in the air as if he was surrendering. However just as he was about to put the bow on the floor, hr quickly brought out two arrows, which he fired directly in the lights of the choppers. As the lights shuttered off, machine gun fire then came from the machine guns on the choppers. Many bullets flew past (Y/N)'s body as he dived and weaved out of the way. 

He wasn't quick enough however, as several small bullets managed to pierce his outfit. This rounds were hihi velocity as while his outfit had some armour which protected him from bullets, he could pain in his lower abdomen and blood began to rush out. Now the snipers began their rain of fire, several shots rang passed him as the 'Bangs' sounded like roaring thunder. 

Another shot hit him in the back of his shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground as blood spilt onto the tiles. (Y/N) shook his head as he tried to carry on. He leaped onto another rooftop as the footsteps of security men could be heard, they were nearing his location. 

'This isn't Waller' the vigilante thought to himself as he fired an arrow hitting a metal railing, the weak spot caused the emergency exit to collapse and the men falling to the street. 'Waller would want me alive all cost, these guys are okay to kill me' he thought again. 

As if by shock, several guards rushed out of nowhere, the flashlights of their assault rifle blinding him slightly. 

"ON THE GROUND NOW!" a guard called out. He had no choice but to comply, dropping his bow to the floor. Immediately another dozen came from behind him and pushed his head into the rooftop. 

"Air Tyger 2" one man said into his radio. "This Tyger 7 we have captured the target, Prisoner 11998 has been apprehended, I repeat we have captured Prometheus" 

The last thing thing (Y/N) saw was the gun of a gun bashing into his skull, knocking him out. 

(Later)

Unknown location within Tyger HQ of Arkham City. 

"Wake up Mr (L/N)" a deep commanding voice rang out. (Y/N)s eyesight was blurry, but he managed to see he was in a dark room, standing before him was a man in a white lab coat, well trimmed facial hair and rounded goggles. (Y/N) also noticed he was clad in an orange jumpsuit just like Arkham Asylum prisoners. "I am Hugo Strange, welcome to Arkham City. Your new....treatment".
