It was raining heavily as Shiva gazed out the window of her penthouse suite. Putting the flute of champagne she had been idly holding aside, Shiva turned to face the three men in the room. The first was Timothy Flag. He was loyal to Shiva and had been for the past two years since they had met in Hamburg. Shiva had needed a face for her fake terrorist group and his fit the bill perfectly. The videos that had been created to cast the blame for any deaths they committed, all had his face proclaiming the righteousness of the acts. He was now standing uncomfortably in the corner of the room with a lit cigarette. His hand was shaking as it was raised to his lips. The second man was Assistant D.A. for Blüdhaven; Mateo Flores. Flores was currently on his knees, bleeding from the baseball strike to the cheek he had received moments ago. Two of his teeth were on the carpeted floor. Flores was genuinely good at his job and was trying to help his City. He was meeting with a certain businessman that was of interest to Shiva. Shiva needed Flores on board. The final man was Santo Cassamento. He was the head of one of Gotham's five mobster families. Over the past three years, he had also become one of Shiva's closest allies. Santo had been looking for more power and had learnt that Gotham was stretched thin as it was what with Falcone, Maroni and the others. With Shiva's assistance, he had branched out to Blüdhaven, a City with equal amounts of crime as Gotham but far less organised. It was ripe for the taking.

Shiva knelt beside Flores. Cupping his chin in her hand, Shiva raised his face until they looked at each other in the eyes, their lips brushing softly.

"Mr Flores. I really don't want to hurt you again but I've run out of time. Tomorrow, you will proceed with your meeting as planned except this time, you will kill Mr Fjord. When my men create their distraction, you will cut his throat with the knife that I will provide to you. When you're sure that he is dead, send me a text on the number I have put into your phone. We will then collect you. Ok?"

Flores didn't respond. Shiva raised the baseball and struck, the base finding his stomach. Flores doubled over in pain.

"Ok?"

Flores quickly nodded. With a brush of her hand, Flores was escorted from her sight by Flag. Cassamento stayed for a moment longer, nodded at Shiva and left. Shiva smiled and toyed with the baseball as she turned back to look at the rain. With a great deal of patience, soon both Gotham and Blüdhaven would kneel and tremble at the sound of her name.

Shiva stepped into the lift and took out her phone as the doors slid shut. She hadn't received a text. They were behind schedule. Unacceptable. She would have to track down the culprit and remove their right index finger.

The lift reached the 46th floor and the doors pinged open. Lady Shiva stepped out and across the laminated floor, her high heels clacking against the smooth surface. She reached her seat and sat down, her sparkling black dress sloping beside her. In front of her was a large window showing the building opposite. Directly opposite was the 46th floor of an office block and it was a very particular office that was before her. The doors opened and Mr Fjord stepped inside, closely followed by Mr Flores. Flores was clearly nervous as he shut the doors behind them. Fjord sat down and started helping himself to some whiskey that was in a glass bottle on the desk. Flores stood nervously beside him until he was handed a drink from his own glass. The two men were talking but Shiva couldn't hear a word. She didn't need to. Their conversation wouldn't matter in a few moments. Reaching under her chair, Shiva pulled forwards a large bag. She unzipped it and removed several parts. In the blink of an eye, Shiva had assembled her sniper rifle. She had known Flores wouldn't have the balls to make a move against Fjord. However, it did help having them both in the same room. With a tug of the trigger, the bullet roared forwards, cracked a hole through the closest window, travelled across the street, pierced the window there and hit Flores in the face. Flores collapsed to the floor and Fjord turned to face Shiva. He gave her a wave and a smile. Shiva gave him a bullet and his smile covered the floor. Setting the rifle down, Shiva stood and made her way back to the lift. She couldn't help but smile. Another name off her list meant one step closer to domination.
