[INDENT]Pillars of smoke filled the sky as it reflected the numerous red and blue sirens below. The with what few officers it could spare, the Gotham City Police Department had surrounded the prison. With a barricade formed between the now freed prisoners and the relative innocents of Gotham herself, officers sat behind open car doors, weapons trained on those pacing back and forth on the other side of the gate. Behind the police was the fire department, anxiously waiting on standby as rioters set fire to the prison, flames reaching up from the courtyard and stretching out the numerous windows to tickle the stars hidden in the smoke blanketed night sky.

The roar of an engine suddenly turned every head upwards as the shadow of the Batwing descended upon Blackgate. Canisters of teargas and smoke rained from the back of the Batwing as it dropped into the courtyard, blinding the escaped Firefly gang.

"Outsider." Batman's voice brought Alfred's attention back to the Batcomputer. "What's the situation on the Blackgate?" He asked, the Batwing circling back around as it fired numerous rubber rounds into the stomach. The convicts below bellowed in pain as they dropped to the ground.

"Blackgate is locked down, cameras are locked out. If you're going in, you're going in blind." Alfred responded. "The Batwing's echolocation is showing all tertiary entrances blocked, windows enforced and so forth Sir. Whomever is inside, wants you to come in the main door." Alfred added as the Batman grit his teeth with a snarl.

"Then we take the third option." He growled as the Batwing was pulled into a steep ascent before spinning around and flying straight towards the penitentiary's upper level windows. Crashing glass and scraping metal echoed through Blackgate's hallways as the Batwing ripped through steel and concrete coming to a halt, wedged halfway through the wall.

"Outsider, I'm inside Blackgate." Batman growled as he climbed out of the Batwing. "Lets make this quick."[/INDENT]

[INDENT]"Hey Bay-bay!" The jeers echoed up and down lock up as Barbara made her way towards Zedno's cell. The first time her Dad had ever had her walk back here it had scared her stiff, the men in these cells were often the furthest thing from whitecollar. Most of them were rowdy drunks, thrown in the tank over night to sober up. But tonight, every last one of them was an attempted murderer, Zedno was no different in that regard. 

"Joseph Zedno." Barbara stated flatly coming to a stop outside of a cell.

"What can I do for ye Red?" Came the man's reply as he lounged back in his cell, arms absently tracing the cracked stone wall behind him as his feet were sprawled out in front of him. "Didn't realize I had been elevated to conjugal visits." Licking his lips, Zedno winked at Barbara.

"Who told you to cut that woman's face off?" Barbara asked, unfazed by the man's lewd comments. 

"Why, my brain of course." Zedno answered with a wave of his arms as he stood up from the bench and took a couple steps towards Barbara. "Y'know, you've got a pretty nice face, nice body too. I wonder what they'd look like on me." He snarled rushing forward and reaching through the bars at Barbara. Catching his wrist, Barbara twisted it, using the bars as a leverage point as the man squealed in pain.

"Tell me everything you know about the False Face Society." Barbara demanded as Zedno struggled to pull away.

"I'll gut you!" He screamed. "I know faces, and I know who you are!" He continued to wail as he spat at Barbara. "I'll kill you, and then wear your face when I kill your father for putting me in here." Letting go, Barbara took a step back startled at how easily Zedno had identified her.

"You want to go around playing hero girl." Zedno taunted. "Then you'd best wear a mask like the Bat." He chuckled slightly, nursing the newly sprained wrist. "'Course the Black Mask might put a price on your head too."

"Who's the Black Mask?" Barbara asked as Zedno looked at her with a twisted smile.

"You'll find out soon enough."[/INDENT]
