cat and mouse | arkham asylum

Detective Jessica Kent transferred from Metropolis, chasing a lead that ends in eight assassins, a citywide bounty on Batman's head, and a grinning psychopath who calls himself the Joker. In one frozen night she earns the personal gratitude of a corrupt mayor, the wary respect of Commissioner Gordon, and the undivided attention of billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.

After years of bad luck, and people she's grown to dies, she's cuts Bruce off. And it was his part of his plan for it to happen. Just not the way he wanted to.

Close to ten years later, Gordon has only one card left to play: pair the city's most decorated detective with its most wanted vigilante. Jessica's orders are simple, watch him, keep him in line, and don't get in the way. But when the Joker, who originally had his eyes set on her before Batman, has turned Arkham island into his personal playground.

It was supposed to a simple waste of time, now, she was stuck dead center in the twisted game of chess. She was the Queen and Batman the Knight. She never expected to be dragged in and she sure as hell never expected to fall for the one person in Gotham more broken than the city itself.

But her time in Gotham taught her one thing. Some games of cat and mouse end in blood.

This one might end in truth neither were ready to face.
