The victory is short-lived.

Heroism didn't work, so they resorted to villainy to finally end Rupert Thorne. Bullet through the brain.

The aftermath has been a nebulous, uncertain thing as Sonia has needed to adjust to her new situation after most of her life had that fat shadow cast over it. There was no celebration. Just acceptance.

Where to go now has been an intriguing question. An ex-D.A. and an ex-cop, both outlaws now. Irrevocably. Going back to being a two-bit crimelord, however, is not on the agenda. This isn't the Two-Face of old, and Sonia would make sure of that anyway.

But the future mission statement has been derailed with the recent news he's received.

That goddamned clown is still alive.

Countless bullets emptied into him, and the goddamned clown lives.

No doubt planning some kind of counter-offensive, even if that murder... that attempted murder was retaliation for carving half his face off.

Can they afford to leave it alone? Or will the freak go right after Sonia?

Maybe he could just let her kick his ass...
