Dead Drop

[seriouslyevil.livejournal.com]

Normally, when Roman wanted to schedule an appointment with someone, he usually carved the date, time, and place of the meeting onto the corpse of a loved one/associate. Unfortunately, he had to be a bit more subtle. With Brucey's weak stomach, he'd probably vomit all over the corpse, pass out, then someone would come in and find one of the models he dated dead and draped across his desk, the cops would get involved, and things would get messy.

Well, messier.

So, this time he had to be just a touch more subtle, which was kind of annoying since he really really wanted to burn part of Gotham to ground after The Batman had barged in unexpectedly and given him a rather sound beating.

Bastard.

At least he had the Albanians to take his rage out on. Over the last month, he had quite emphatically squashed the small group, and taken over their operations in the north east. And lucky for him, he knew a place that was great for rounding up women that he could then sell to the highest bidder. Perhaps he'll shelve those plans to destroy Selina's shelter after all...

But back to Bruce, who was simply left a cellphone on his desk at work. It's previous owner wouldn't be needing it anyway, poor girl. But, later that night, Bruce would get a call on that phone, with a recording telling him where to bring the money that night.

And currently at that location, a rather run down mill in a long since abandoned industrial complex, the Black Mask was waiting.

Don't be late, Bruce.

And by the way, Nygma, try not to give yourself a hernia moving the dead weight in your arms, the one that's bleeding all over that hideous suit you're sporting.

Nygma unwraps the gauze from the medical kit and applies some pressure - though he's not so sure about that not-moving part, if the firefight gets any heavier.

"Alright, Boy Wonder. I'd say Selina, Harvey and Jonathan can handle Roman - we're hoping he ends up in Arkham to see how the other half lives, but with 'Bruce' so badly injured, my plan for the denouement of this little charade is up in smoke."

He glances to Nightwing.

"I don't need to tell you your job. I've seen you do it plenty of times."

Nygma's suit will be ruined, blast it all, but the sheer amount of blood he'll be wearing will be a good excuse to get Query and Echo in their matching green and purple nurse uniforms, anyway.

With Bruce out to the world, his ice-laden look will have to suffice before he gets back on his motorcycle and accelerates off back into the mob.
