Corruption. Brutality. Deception. Injustice. Four words that describe Gotham city in a nutshell. Sure, they may have their Dark Knight, but he's not the sign of hope the people need. He's a product of what the debauched city is capable of creating in times of desperation. He's harsh, unorthodox, and can turn entirely apathetic when it comes to extracting information and serving his 'justice'.

Then, there is Eve.

Decently new to the unwritten policies and way of life in Gotham, she's untainted and impervious to the corruption wrought crime capital. Eve has been aiding Jim Gordon with a few cases privately - due to her being a private investigator - but for her discretion, he has remained unwaveringly silent, despite the rest of the precinct hounding him for his suspicious efficiency in case closing.

A mob war is peeking over the horizon, threatening to run the streets with blood, bullets and a high body count. With the mafia families and rogues on high alert, the last person they would ever expect to dismantle their carefully organised operation is an uncorrupted, virtuous woman from the sunny city of Greenville, South Carolina.

Filled with crime, ass-kicking, deception, love and the dramatic flair of Gotham's top drama queens - otherwise known as the infamous Rogue's Gallery - 'One Winter Knight' tells a tale of Evangeline Winter unwittingly intertwining herself within the tendrils of Gotham's criminal underworld, whilst unintentionally catching the eyes of a certain rodent dressed vigilante and an ex-DA turned crime boss whilst she's at it.

And when does our audacious story begin you ask? Quite simple really.

One cold winter's night, in the notorious, dark city of Gotham.

(Two Face/Eve, Batman/Eve and a bit of Riddler/Rebecca pairing)

You Never Cease To Amaze Me, Bats

1 part Complete Mature

At first, it was a regular night for Bruce as he went out through the night as the dark vigilante, Batman. As time ticked by, the night grew - stranger - beneath the bat signal's light, was a note. From the Joker. Months pass before Batman is seen out on the streets again. But he's different, strange. But most importantly, what is up with his eyes? ----- In this world, Batman doesn't have a Robin. He never has. He sticks to himself; even the Justice League don't see him. No one sees Batman without a mask except Alfred. Batman is darker, already slightly twisted in the head - he's spent his whole life, fighting people like the Joker, people who don't deserve his pity. So he doesn't give then them any. He holds grudges even beyond the memory of others. He hates asking for help. ----- "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
