GOTHCORP
A woman with long, black hair, and green eyes is sitting in front of a desk. A door behind her opens.
Ferris Boyle, CEO of GothCorp, walks in. He sits behind is desk.
Boyle: "Sorry I'm late Amanda, usually it's the client who's late."
Amanda: "Yeah. Now then, what would the company gain by merging with yours?"
Boyle: "Straight to the point. I like that."
Amanda: "Mr. Boyle, please."
Boyle: "Fine. Tell me again, why couldn't your employer come?"
Amanda: "Mr. Nygma is a busy man. Now then, shall we get to business?"
Boyle: "Yes. Now then, I know that the company just officially opened, but you've been selling products for months now, correct?"
Amanda: "We have."
Boyle: "Now then, simply put, they aren't selling. You're already falling behind in stock, and product sales. Wayne Industries and LexCorp are beating you, Miss Nelson. Mr. Nygma must understand this. I'm willing to stop this bankruptcy before it even begins!"
Amanda: "The possibility is probable."
Boyle: "Thank you."
Amanda: "But not 100% possible."
Boyle: "Look, Enigma Enterprises can't take the chance."
Amanda: "There is a chance that we can avoid it. And we will take that chance. But I will, and I'm sure that Mr. Nygma will, put your offer into consideration."
Amanda got out of the chair, and walked out the room. When she was on the street, Amanda brought out her cell phone.
Amanda: "Part one is complete. Yes. Don't worry, I'll get them to you by the next month, at the least. Okay. Part two is now in effect. Bye."
She put the phone in her pocket.
THE GCPD BUILDING
Batman is with Gordon, who has the Joker card in hand.
Gordon: Look, I don’t know exactly what happened. We haven’t had to look at security footage. Joker was just released. That’s, that’s all I know. He was deemed sane. I can get the papers.”
Batman: “No. No, I believe you, but...”
Gordon: “If it makes you feel any better, he would have never been released.”
Batman: “Then why was he?”
Gordon: “Well...you caught him. I mean...you aren’t exactly an officer.”
Batman: “So I caught a madman who poisoned Gotham, killed dozens of people, and almost killed millions more, but he wasn’t given a life sentence because-”
Gordon: “You aren’t an officer, yes. Okay, so do you want to know about a new mob boss?”
Batman: “Who? Lew Morton? I’ve heard of him.”
Gordon: “No, not him. His name was...um...oh, yeah! His name was Tony Zucco.”
WAYNE MANOR
Dick has a chicken wing in hand, on one side of a long table. Bruce walks into the room, out of costume.
Dick: “There you are! So, what did ya’ learn?”
Bruce: “Nothing. Can I have a chicken wing?”
Dick: “You’re hiding something. Well, I’m not going to give you the wing until you tell me.”
Bruce: “Do you even realize how stupid you sound? I’m Batman, okay? I can get a damn chicken wing from you.”
Dick: “Well, I am the Robin! Who do you think would win? Dark, brooding, tormented man fighting a one-man-war? OR me? The bright, cheery Robin?”
Bruce: “We both know the answer to that. Now give me some chicken.”
Dick: “Well, of course we know the answer. It’s Robin. And no chicken ‘til you tell.”
Bruce: “You want to know?”
Dick: “Well, I’m not sure-of course I want to know!”
Bruce: “Give me the chicken and I’ll tell.”
Dick: “Tell, and I’ll give you the chicken.”
Bruce: “Fine. There’s a new mob boss in town.”
Dick: “That’s it? Wow. Here’s the chicken.”
He took the wing from Dick.
Dick: “So, what’s the guy’s name?”
Bruce: “His name is Tony.”
Dick: “Yes?”
Bruce: “Zucco.”
Dick: “What? Why didn’t you tell me? Where is the bastard?”
Bruce: “This is why I din’t want to-”
Dick: “Where is he?”
Bruce: “I don’t know. This is what I did, and-”
Dick: “And you became Batman? Well I’m already a vigilante!”
Bruce: “Well I don’t know where he is, and you aren’t going to search for him!”
Dick: “Why not?”
Bruce: “Because...because...”
Dick: “Yeah that’s a stumper! I’ll see you.”
He got up, and walked towards a door. He grabbed the chicken wing from Bruce’s hand.
Dick: “Bye.”
THE BATCAVE
Bruce’s head is laying on the batcomputer’s keyboard.
Alfred: “Master Bruce.”
Bruce: “What?!? Huh? Alfred?”
Alfred: “Yes, Master Bruce. It’s morning. Just thought I should tell you.”
Bruce: “Alfred, I’ve told you. Call me Bruce.”
Alfred: “I’m sorry Master Bruce.”
Bruce: “ Okay, not what I meant. Why’d you wake me up?”
Alfred: “Oh, yes. Miss Kyle called.”
Bruce: “What? Where’s the phone?”
Alfred: “I was lying. You had to wake up at some point.”
Bruce: “Dammit. I must have fallen asleep waiting for-yes!”
Alfred: “What, Master Bruce?”
Bruce: “I hacked into security footage at Arkham. Joker was released. I wanted to see what happened. Let’s watch.”
On the screen, an image of the Joker twiddling his thumbs appeared. Joker looked at the security camera, waved, and started twiddling again. The bus pulled up, and then the security fed went dead. A minute later, it came back on.
Bruce: “Crap. Crap, what happened?”
Alfred: “Someone cut the security feeds.”
Bruce: “I know that! It had to be someone on the inside.”
Alfred: “Then another doctor will become their own patient.”
Bruce: “One way of putting it. What are the bus routes?”
Alfred: “I’ll check. Master Dick seems to be...”
Bruce: “It’s Tony Zucco. He’s back. I’ll see what I can do.”
ENIGMA ENTERPRISES
Eddie is furiously checking paperwork.
He grabs one sheet, looks it over, crumples it up, and throws it to the other side of his office. Eddie is sitting at a rectangular, wooden desk. Behind him is a large window in the shape of a question mark. An intercom buzzed.
Eddie: “What is it?”
Secretary: “Well, you had an appointment today, sir. Remember? With Ferris Boyle’s assistant?”
Eddie: “Fine. Send her in.”
A woman with long, black hair, and green eyes walked in.
Eddie: “Hi. So, your Ferris Boyle’s assistant?”
Woman: “That’s what he likes to think. I’m Amanda. Amanda Nelson.”
Eddie: “Well Amanda, take a seat.”
Amanda: “Thank you Mr. Nygma. My company is a generous one. We want to make a deal. You buy Ace Chemicals, and sell it to us, and we’ll start a partnership.”
Eddie: “What?”
Amanda: “It should be simple enough.”
Eddie: “But why?”
Amanda: “Every little bit counts. And like I said, we’re generous. We know your the new guy, and we know you’re going to have a rough time. We just want to...help you.”
Eddie: “Why can’t you just get the company yourself?”
Amanda: “Do you want the partnership?”
Eddie: “Do you want Ace Chemicals?”
Amanda: “Well, it’s because we want to help you.”
Eddie: “So...no straight answer?”
Amanda: “I’m sorry, but were you expecting one?”
Eddie: “Little bit. I’ll get you the company. Let’s say, one, two weeks?”
Amanda: “See you then.”
Eddie: “Bye.”
Amanda got up, and walked to the door, and left the office. As soon as she was out, she brought out her cell phone.
Amanda: “I got the deal. We’re going to have the chemicals. Mm-hmm. Got it. One, maybe two weeks. Bye.
WAYNE MANOR
Bruce knocks on the door to Dick's room, opening as he does.
Dick: "There's such thing as waiting. You made me do it my first night. For-"
Bruce: "Three minutes. What are you doing in here?"
Dick: "Oh, I don't know. Looking at some fan fictions."
Bruce: "Really?"
Dick: "No, I'm searching for my parent's killer you idiot!"
Bruce: "Huh. You might not want to use a laptop for that."
Dick: "I hacked into Gotham's criminal database."
Bruce: "Oh. Look, Dick, I'm sorry."
Dick: "Huh. Impressive apology."
Bruce: "Don't get sarcastic."
Dick: "What? Who's being sarcastic?"
Bruce: "I'm your legal guardian."
Dick: "And...?"
Bruce: "Well, I can take away Robin."
Dick: "What?"
Bruce: "But I'll just take away that laptop."
He grabbed the laptop, shut it, and put it under his arm.
Dick: "Um...don't see how that helped. I have two more in the closet."
Bruce: "And I have a military grade security system. Any cameras see you with a laptop, and-"
Dick: "Knockout gas?"
Bruce: "What? Oh, no. Good idea though. And I really am sorry."
He walked out of the room.
