What a poor soul, she was. This poor, pretty little blonde who was at Wayne Manor because she wanted to support a good cause. This poor, pretty blonde girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was for collateral, to draw the Bat out. It had been a couple of days now since my little incident at Wayne Manor but yet... still no sign of the Bat. Naturally, he knew I wouldn't really harm a hair on her head... okay that's a lie. He knew I wouldn't kill her but it was still odd for The Bat to take this long. I just wanted to have a little fun but maybe The Bat didn't get the message when I struck close to his dear friend Bruce Wayne, but that was okay because now I had to resort to drastic measures. I now had to harm a few hairs on her head just to bring The Bat out. I figured with this pretty little girl screaming a little bit... maybe he'd care a little more. I needed The Bat and he needed me. It was time to go live. All the screens in Gotham flickered to life with a static entrance to have me standing there, with this young girl tied to a chair, her hair a mess, her makeup has run down her face from crying and a gag in her mouth, tied up behind her head and Anarky stood behind her.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of Gotham City and the WORLD! Yes yes, we're broadcasting all over! We've taken over every video stream in the entire United States because I guess the first time, the message wasn't LOUD and CLEAR enough for The Batman! You see this pretty little thing? She happened to be at Wayne Manor the night of my message but unfortunately, The Batman didn't receive my invitation to join me for a nice little candlelit dinner. Just a little bit of his time is all I asked for and this precious little thing could be set free. How do you think her family feels, Batman? The people... they look up to you. They see you as their Dark Knight, their savior from the shadows. When things go bump in the night, you're there to show them that the dark is nothing to be afraid of! But you're letting them down Batman. And that's all this precious young lady has wanted... she just wanted The Batman to be her dark savior so she could walk right out of here and go back to her family but you've forced my hand, Bats. You've forced me to do what I am about to do! YOU did this Bats! YOU hurt her! This is on YOUR head! HA HA HA HO HO HE HE HA!"
I opened my coat jacket and I walked closer to the poor girl who shook and screamed behind her gag, trying her best to avoid me but it just wasn't happening. I approached her with my sick smile and I pulled a small blade from my jacket. I brought the blade to her cheek and whispered to her but loud enough for the camera to pick it up.. "Don't be scared. This will only hurt a little bit." And then I laughed. Batman could have avoided all of this but sometimes things had to get a little extreme. I took the blade that was on her cheek and I dug it in a little bit. I pushed it in on her cheek and it began to bleed and I slowly brought the blade down to give her about a two inch cut across her cheek. The blood ran down and she began to cry, her makeup running even more, and Anarky stepped forward.
"BATMAN! While I may not condone the actions of my friend here... sometimes extreme circumstances call for extreme measures. We never wanted to hurt this pretty young lady. We never even took the time to learn her name because there was never any intention to keep her this long... but you've done this Batman! For too long you've pretended to be a savior for these people but we all know the truth. Even if most don't want to admit it, we know it! You take the blame for things to try and be the savior but all it does is make you more guilty! Why don't you understand that, Batman?! You even allow the media to villainize me all the while you have done far worse and yet you're idolized! You took Harvey Dent to near DEATH!i But once Bane came around... it seemed like people forgot about that little thing, didn't they? See, the people of Gotham need a hero that they can be proud of! Anarky... Anarky is just the first step to becoming the next batman!"
Anarky was an intelligent man, but he didn't realize that I was using him. He was giving me the publicity. Sure, he wanted The Bat... but he didn't want him as bad as I did. He couldn't become the new Batman, he could NEVER be Batman! But I'd go along with it for now. But once my use for him was finished, I'd treat him just like I treated all of Cobblepots' men on the docks. He means nothing to me, he's just a good resource to bring the Bat closer to me for now.
"So come on down, Bats! Come be the savior everybody believes you to be! Don't you worry your little head about Brucie Wayne... I'm sure he's going to be just fine! because you see, Bats... this little blonde gem isn't everything. You need to see the bad influence you've been! See... there's more than just Bat-Boy running around Bludhaven... NOW there's a bat... GIRL! And she decided to start trying to be a little Nosy Nancy and stuck her nose where it didn't belong and now... now my dear Baaaats you've got TWO innocents on your hands! How would the world feel if we just unmasked her... right here and right now?! What would you DO Bats?! Would you save them both.... or would you leave them be? Or... OR what if you could only save... one?! What if you had to choose?! What if... what... if... it was like dear Rachel and Harvey Dent ALL - OVER - AGAIN?! Ya see, Bats... you're the one I want. They... they don't matter to me. None of the insects in Gotham or ANYWHERE in the World matter to me. But if it gets to you... then that makes it so - much - fun! Come on, Bats, don't you want to play my game? HAHAHAHEHEHEHEHOHOHOHEHEHE!"
The girl in the Bat mask was too tied up, and we kept her mask on just so that it would get to Batman. It was almost like a reflection of himself. But who was she? Maybe taking her mask off would make things even MORE interesting! And then Anarky speaks up.
"This is ALL because of you, Batman! NONE of this had to happen but now it's too late! You are a criminal and I am the hero that Gotham needs! JOKER is the hero that Gotham needs!"
"Oh hush.. you're making me blush! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Twenty four hours, Batman, twenty four hours is all you have to atone for your crimes and these ladies will go free!"
Or so he thinks. But my plans? Kill 'em. Draw the Bat out and break him down with no fork in the road.
"And if you're not here in Twenty Four Hours... then we resort to the next step and that step... you won't like it."
"BETTER GET MOVING, BATS! AHAHEHEHEHEHEHHOHOHEEHEHA!"
*Static*
The feeds on all televisions cut back to their regularly scheduled programming and the message was sent out loud and clear. What would Batman do?
