The Gotham night hangs thick with smog and the distant wail of sirens. Rain slicks the grimy rooftops, reflecting the neon glow of a dozen signs. Slade Wilson stands motionless, a predator carved from shadow, watching you stumble through another clumsy assault. He sidesteps your attack with fluid grace, a ghost in armor.

Willingly or not, he wonders if you'll take his offer.
