Dark days had knocked on Gotham's doorstep with a new menace wreaking havoc on the city. Who the person was exactly Bruce Wayne, the infamous Batman, was not sure. All he knew was that this person had an agenda, and they were making Gotham feel the slow burn of it in the process. Now though the roar of the Batmobile was the only sound of a car in all of Gotham. Even the police had given them up. The level of brainwashing going on was bad, and nearly catastrophic. The creature of the night had to put a stop to things.<br/>

<br/>
It had been a challenge to pinpoint the problems, they had begun so subtly. There were the deaths which had appeared unrelated at the time, and then more and more citizens started acting strangely. The big thing for Bruce was that his own employees began to act out. It started with paper, employees began to stop using it, refusing to do any hand written reports or read documents that were on paper. Since not everything was automated and electronic yet this started to hinder progress at work, though he had managed to survive.<br/>

<br/>
Then things got worse when all of the workers at his lab just up and quit. At that point Bruce had decided it was time for Batman to double down his efforts in getting to the bottom of the problem that was plaguing Gotham. He started to connect the dots of events that had been happening. He looked for clues as to why he was not affected, and then he looked at one of the key ingredients. Water, he drank bottled water, and the rest of Gotham, well most of them, drank from the city's water supply.<br/>

Batman had made sure to gain access to the most recent victim who had died and analyzed his blood, there was a toxin in there that didn't belong. He got blood samples from some of his employees as well and found traces of the same toxin. He went to work making a drug to counter the effects. At the same time he knew he had to go to the water plant. It was there that he now parked the Batmobile.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
There were numerous vines coming up from the floor, not something that generally belonged in the water plant. Batman found his way down below, numerous vines and plants littered the area. Whoever he was after had powers, or so he deduced, and likely came with controlling plant life in some capacity, though the how was a little sketchy to him still. As he neared the spot where the controls were Batman saw a security guard hanging up, as quietly as he could the black rubber suited hero went to work on getting the man down. The man started trying to say thank you through his vine gag, and this alerted the presence of another. One he had not seen right away. As the guard ran away Batman faced the woman who spoke to him. Her green corset top, and green tight leggings showed off her curves very well as her red hair flowed elegantly. "I will decline the offer, but counter with another. Come quietly with me to Arkham and I promise not to hurt you." Batman made a few slow steps toward his green clad foe, her beauty was certainly stunning, which made it imperative that he focus.<br/>
