Arkham's Been Breached

ZatannaZataraZatannaZatara: The afternoon streets were loud and lively, traffic flowing and people bustling up and down the streets of Gotham. In a small bar with low lighting and few patrons sat a hoodie and sunglasses clad Zatanna, throwing back shots and flipping through a stack of paperwork with lawyer jargon scribbled across it and big red ‘sign here’ stamps all over it. She sighed, placing her pen in her mouth and biting down on the cap. After running a hand through her raven hair, she tossed the pen to the side and ordered the whole bottle.

sydkick: "Alright. Lights out. None of you keep me awake all night, you hear?" The grump of an overnight nurses voice echoed in the hallway before slamming the door to his office shut. They dont turn off any of the hallway lights in this wing of the asylum, the specific patients here far to dangerous for that. The overnight crew was less than motivated with their work, allowing a small green garden snaked to slither over from the empty cell it was hiding in to the occupied one across the way completely unnoticed. Once inside, the snake let out a hiss loud enough to catch the patients attention. A few beats later, 4 shadowy figures bamfed into the room, each with its own set of viberant glowing eyes.-

Kaci1997: An inmate from one of the cells started to giggle, the bushy faced man sitting up from his position on the floor. He was strapped down by a straight jacket. His black hair long and a shaggy mess. The beard on his face indicated that he had been in there for a while now. His eyes were blood shot and crazed. "I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!" He screamed out angrily as he kicked his bloody feet. His toes smashed from the walls he had been kicking. When the man wasn't acknowledged, that's when he heard the loud hiss, causing him to whip around on his bottom. His piercing diamond eyes each met theirs vibrant one.

Neffers: "You look like you're having fun." Said a voice, it was cool and calm. With just a hint of something.. A chair would pull out and a lean, yet lithe body would settle down next to Zatanna. Mettalic something clicking lightly as thin fingers would set her pen back to the papers.The voice to the body didn't match at all as near bare legs were bent and sneakered feet sat on the cross bar to the chair. Shorts, A thin shirt and a leather jacket. Tim drake looked to Zatanna with a coolish.. teal colored eyes. "How're you otherwise?"

ZatannaZatara: Zatanna glanced over at him while pouring another shot. "Hey Tim..." Zee took the pen, laid it on the papers then poured the shot over all of it. Then continued to pour another shot to actually drink. "Better now I think. What are you doing here of all places?" She crossed one leg over the other, pushing her hoodie off of her head completely but keeping the glasses on.

sydkick: -There was a rather long moment of slience in the cell, only the eerie echoes of the other suffering inmates fading out. "Oh I cant hold back." said the set of red eyes with a harsh and maniacal tone before lunging forward. As it moved, it started to make a physical form, wrapping a hand around Ricky's neck and holding him up to stand. "Hello Little Boy, Oh how I've missed you "- The red-eyed Sin tilted its head and laughed, fading back and forth between its male and female form, the pitch of its voice changing with it. With Its free hand, It traced a fresh cut on Ricky's forhead with its finger. "Lust! Thats enough!" A commanding voice called out from the rest of the shadows, grabbing the Sins attention-

Kaci1997: Ricky attempted to muffle out a rabid growl before he was choked by the red-eyed Sin. He was practically dragged to his feet. A nasty sneer on his face as he could finally stand eye to eye with him? Her? Both? Either way, it had a certain grip on him that he couldn't seem to fight. No matter how much he struggled. It was like this straight jacket was his muzzle and leash, and he was one angry Rottweiler... He hissed as his forehead was cut. His eyes would lock on the others as they came into the light. "Oh look... The gang's all here..." He said in a sing-song tone, eyes dancing from one Sin to the other as he giggled like a mad man.

sydkick: -Pride was in its female form, fixing a curl that was out of place as It stepped forward.- "Back talking as always, Ricky. Thats what got you here in the first place, isnt it? All tied up and beaten to no end. Tisk Tisk" Pride wagged its black gloved finger. "I supposed I'm the one to blame for that however." It let out a mocking chuckle, the kind that made you grit your teeth with annoyance and anger. Pride was slowly walking towards Lust and Ricky and it spoke, and once it was done, simply grabbed a handful of Lust hair and yanked it off Ricky and acorss the room. It then snapped its head back around to the other Sins who were watching with blank faces. "Deal with that one." Pride spoke shortly, nodding towards Lust before bringing its attention back to Ricky. "You look awful." It said bluntly, eyeballing the broken inmate-

Kaci1997: Ricky swallowed hard, part of him wanting to hide while the other wanted to attack, flying fists and all. He was dirty and mangy and he felt like a caged animal. Now that he wasn't so alone anymore, he felt vulnerable especially with Pride flinging it around so carelessly in the open. And Ricky definitely didn't like that... His eyes locked on Pride now as he approached. "Yeah? Well I feel great." He snarked through his teeth, his shit-eating grin tugging from the corners of his mouth.

Neffers: Letting his lips split into a grin, Drake would pretend he didn't see what the papers would say before they were covered in the liquor. "Am I not dressed correctly?" He asked, moving to press his hand to his thin chest before looking around room and then returning his gaze to her. "I was going to ask you for some help, since you're always willing to help Bruce.." A pause. "But if you're busy ruining paperwork..."

ZatannaZatara: Zee shrugged after taking the shot, sliding the bottle over and chuckling. "Any time Tim, Batfamily can pretty much count me their personal magician for all time because of that guy. And for your information..." She grabs her bag hanging on the bar chair and ruffles through it, laying a few bills on the counter right on top of the paperwork. "I'm definitely done with these papers. So, lay it on me?" Zee winks and crosses her arms over her hoodie-clad chest with the ironic faded superman symbol on the front.-

sydkick: -Pride was able to mirror his grin almost perfectly, Its eyes flashing an even brighter blue for a moment before dulling back down to their normal glow- "Good see you still got some fight left in you. Glad I have not wasted my time then" It chuckled and gave Ricky a few light pats on his cheek. Envy was not able to hold Lust back any longer, as Lust phased back its fellow Sin and was now leaning on Prides shoulder- "Let me play with him Pride... One good bloodlust rush from me and hell be dropping bodies all over this hellhole" Lust begged, licking and biting and Prides pointed ear. Pride rolled its eyes and swatted Lust away like an annoying fly. Envy glared at Lust as it picked up and started petting its garden snake. Greed had been leaning in the corner this entire time, simply watching the scene unfold. "Ricky." Pride spoke once again, more serious this time " I have an offer for you"

Kaci1997: Ricky jerked his head away as Pride patted his cheek, letting out a slight growl of warning, not wanting to be touched. His eyes would dart from Pride now to Lust, causing Ricky to take a step back. He winced at Pride's offer before his eyes fell to the side. 'Please don't do it...' Richard begged from the darkest corners of his psyche, locked away for safe keeping. Ricky's eyes darted back to Pride again, ignoring Richard's pleas. "What the hell do you want from me?" He muttered gruffly.

Neffers: A swift roll of his eyes at Zee's choice of branding. Not that it was stupid... he however.. had other thoughts on it. Not that he wasn't wearing.. well anyways. The young detective moved to dig into his own bag, yea. He came looking for her, not a happen chance. Taking out a tablet, and placing in a quick symbol to get it to unlock; a digital file would pop up with a picture, well two different pictures of a man. "I know who he is, what he is.. I just need to find him. I think he might have some other.. useful information for me.. But he is like a ghost.. I guess? Not in this way.. obviously.. But you know what I mean..." Now the kid was just rambling, trying to make sense of the words coming from his mouth. Course, it all sounded better in Tim's head than it does once it leaves him. Wow.. now hes thinking to himself in third person.. this isn't good. How long had he been without coffee..?

ZatannaZatara: Zatanna raised a brow looking at the image, "Ok slow down Tim, so you need to find this guy, but what do you mean by 'what he is'?" Zee was looking intently at the man's face, committing it to memory before setting her blue gaze back to his face. She wondered why he would come to her, it must be something outside of the norm for them. That or he needed some less than moral action taken-

sydkick: "Thats actually exactly what I want." Pride gave him an evil smirk, sitting down on Ricky's bed with perfect posture. "You see... I've grown rather tired of Boss Down Below and have decided to do something about it." -at this point Envy's Garden Snake had grown into a rather large python, wrapping around the sins body. Its empty eyes stay locked on Ricky. "Now of course you cant just waltz up to the gates and demand for a revote" -Pride chuckled again, as if this was all just some joke. "I need an army." -By this point, Lust has vanished for the cell. disappearing in a black and red puff of smoke. None of the other Sins didnt seem to care, all eyes on Ricky. "So what do you say, Ricky? Want to take over Hell?"

Kaci1997: Ricky's eyes followed Pride curiously, watching him like a hawk. He watched the snake for a minute. His stomach turning in knots by how much he HATED snakes. He turned to look over his shoulder at the other sins, an eyebrow raised as he focused his attention back to Pride. "You're kidding right?" He chuckled, with a tongue touching teeth grin. "And what does that take? The blood of my first born? My eternal loyalty? A SACRIFICE TO THE GODS?!" He yelled out hysterically into the sky. His crazed eyes locked on Pride, danger in his eyes. "NOT HAPPENING." He growled viciously.

ZackMorton: -The only emotion that Dick allowed himself through the wall of proffessional detatchment was how glad he was that it wasn't raining for once. This had been the first time that the young vigilante had been back to his hometown in almost a year and he wasn't in any rush to return to the cesspool of crime and painful memories. While his modified motorcycle fitted with traffic-tracking algorithms thanks to Cyborg allowed him to weave in and out of traffic effortlessly while the head's up display in his lenses provided him with a red flashing marker that led him towards his destination, almost as if he didn't know his way to Arkham Asylum off by heart already. About an hour into his drive the vehicle pulled up to the gates of the psychiatric prison for the dangerously insane and the red clad hero climbed off of it and walked his way forwards, intending to bypass the guard completely until the crossbar that usually stopped people from crossing the bridge onto the island lowered infront of him, causing him to stop and turn to the man in the booth.- "Identify yourself sir, or I will have to detain you." -With a roll of his eyes and a full body turn Dick gestured towards the red bird on his chest.- "Nightwing.. i've been out of town for a while, i'm checking in on one of your inmates." -After a moment of the guard looking him up and down, finally the bar lifted and the man waved him through.- "Don't cause any..." "I know, I know.. don't feed them after midnight." -With a dismissive wave over his shoulder Dick made his way across the bridge and towards the place where most of his childhood nightmares were having their evening meal.-

Neffers: Spending more time with Zee and while they were trying to figure out just where the person he as looking for was, Tim had text Dick to try and see if he wasn't at the most famous shithole in Gotham. Occasionally checking his phone for a hopeful reply. And even though he did trust the older bird to be safe and to try and not get killed, he sighed and brushed his fingers in his hair. "I.. I have Dick checking on a thing.. But yea.. I mean.. you might be more comfortable with doing what we cant. Which could be possibly not happen, but just the incase and if this guy is really who I think he is. Cant help to have a bit more of an edge with you, Zee." He offered, babbling again.

ZatannaZatara: Zee smiled at Tim, shaking her head as she stood. “Well no reason to keep hanging around this dump. Let’s get out of here, huh?” Zatanna was already halfway to the door as she mentioned leaving. She put her hand on the door and looked back to Tim, her hand causing the knob to glow for a moment. She winked and called out, “Where are we checking first?” If he would follow behind her, he would have noticed the glow and may or may not be able to assume she had created a portal that would transport them near their destination.

sydkick: "Dont be so dramatic, Ricky. That's all so medieval." Pride rolled its blue hues and raised an eyebrow. "I just need you to do what you do best. With my help---" Pride was cut off by a quick movement from Greed. "And this is where I step in, Pride." Greed in its male form was repositioned behind Ricky, an arm wrapped around his neck and shoulder in a hold. "Look, I've dealt with your insane ego for literally ever but you are going way to far this time around. Im not going to let you have all the power, and damn sure wont 'follow' your lead. I will kill this Thrall before he has a chance to even think about helping you" Even though Greed always wore a mask, Its voice was clear and stern. The only visable part of Its face was the bright glow of its gold eyes. Pride let out a low growl, its hands clenched into a fist. "Damn it Greed. I knew you couldnt be trusted." Pride snapped, a blue aura starting to flare up around it. Greed tighten its hold on Ricky, a taunt for Pride to make a move. Suddenly, Lust opened the door to Ricky cell, leaning against the frame ever so casually. "Dont worry Pride baby. I knew we couldnt trust that greedy rat. So I brought some backup." -Lust's smile was wide and wicked. Down the hall, a series of yells and large pounding could be heard. Something was smashing down the hall way, headed towards Rickys cell. "Oh. You know what mixes really well together? Bloodlust and Venom!" -Lust cheered as Banes roars got closer and closer-


Kaci1997: Ricky could feel his heart pounding in his chest as the Sins swarms him like vultures. He looked at Greed as he stepped in and caught Ricky by the neck. He winced at his comment. 'You think you've had to deal with him forever?' Richard's small voice echoed in the back of his mind, mentally rolling his eyes. Ricky's lips fell into a thin line, and that's when Pride stepped in. He was grabbed by Greed again, eyes flicking between the two as the tested eachother. He felt like a ragdoll. Or a toy that he and his sister would fight over when they were younger. Then the sudden thought hit him... Where the hell did Lust go? His question was answered when his cell door few opened and his head snapped in it's direction upon hearing the yells and crashing. His eyes widened. "You've gotta be fucking kidding me right now." At this point, he didn't give a fuck, he needed to get his depressed ass out of there. "SHIT!" He yelled as he bolted past the Sins and out of his cell. He tried his hardest not to eat shit with his arms tied down.

ZackMorton: -After being stopped twice more on his way into the building Dick stood infront of a portly gentleman with a taser and pistol at his hip and one of his pudgy fingers stuck up his nose while he stared at a monitor screen, that was until the vigilante cleared his throat and the security guard leapt to his feet and let out a wince of pain as his jump to his feet caused his nail to cut the inside of his nose and a soft trickle of blood to slither onto his whiskered upper lip.- "SONOFA... what the fuck do you want, kid?" -One of the guard's hands reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out an already dirty looking kerchief which he scrunched and pressed against his wounded nose. Dick inwardly sighed and remembered why the security here had been brought into question so many times.- "Yeah, sorry. I can see you were 'totally' busy there, buddy. I'm here looking for an Anderson.. one of your inmates." -The guard narrowed his small eyes at the taller young man and turned with a growl as he one-handed began to run through his computerised list of incarcerated felons.- "Anderson.. Anderson.. Anderson..." -Dick pinched his brow as the guard seemed to be deliberately prolong the search.. especially as Dick could see over his shoulder.- "Dude, A is at the top. I'm in a hurry." -As he spoke the sounds of alarms blaring caught the two of them unawares, the guard dropping his tissue in panic as Nightwing reached over the desk and grabbed his shoulder.- "Anderson, now." -The guard handed him a set of keys and bolted towards the exit with a frantic cry.- "Well.. there goes that idea." -Dick hopped over the desk and laid the keys out onto the table, taking matters into his own hands as he searched the list of inmates for an Anderson. The name he found made his jaw clench and eyes narrow.- "Thanks for letting me know, Bruce.." -With one hand Dick grabbed the keys and the other he used to grab his phone, thumb working swiftly at the pad to deliver the message to an old friend of his: "Arkham. Ricky. Now." before hitting send and bolting his way towards where he knew the damaged youth was being kept.- //// -Bane felt good.. he had been seperated from his equipment for so long and despite his daily working out and occasional brawl with other inmates, none of them could have sated his need for Venom. The strange woman who had seemed to appear in his cell had promised him blood and vengeance, but Bane was smarter than that. Initially he had dismissed her as an illusion or one of scarecrows tricks.. but when she produced his mask and apparatus he no longer cared and snatched them from the tiny being. Now he felt the power of a thousand doses of venom running through his veins as well as.. something else, something driving him to move just a little faster and strike just a little harder. After five minutes he had ripped the door off of his cell and broken into the hallway of maximum security. Within ten minutes he had torn through half of the security in the lower levels and was beginning to rip and tear his way through the facility he had called his accursed home with a bloodthirty howl as each body he sent broken and bloody against the walls and floors made him drunk off of the combined venom and the chance to finally let his true power loose after so long. As he cracked the spine of a skinny looking guard with his hands Bane's venom laced eyes fixated on another prisoner down the hallway, the vision fuzzy and unfocussed due to his intoxication. Normally Bane would have proposed an alliance with a brother in chains of Arkham, since he had so few allies here and this one seemed young and had the potential to be molded.. but that searing voice in the back of his mind told him to kill.. and he lurched his seven foot, hulking form of muscle and death down the corridor towards Ricky.-
