Crime Finds a Way [Robin]

[Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin]

Perhaps when they raised the walls of Arkham City the masters of Gotham thought it would be an end to crime on the outside, that all the bad guys would be locked up and they would have nothing more to worry about. Naturally of course that was not the case. They took the slums so the rats left their sinking ship and made their home in a new one. They tried to surround the street gangs but there were always some who were willing to claim another street. They took the docks so the smugglers moved to the warehouses on the outskirts.

If they thought that they were fools. The best criminals are the most adaptable and Oswald Cobblepot was an excellent criminal. Oswald however also hadn't been seen since the Arkham city walls were finished, rumour was he decided to go down with his beloved Iceburg Lounge when it was shut inside the walls, it was a rumour he wasn't inclined to disprove right away but while the Penguin remained quiet his men still seemed to be as active as normal, with how much time there had been to plan the change barely seemed to slow the flow of smugglers and back room deals, if anything they increased despite a certain chunk of his staff being trapped inside the walls.

It was the middle of the night when three trucks travelled in to the city, each following different routes and being followed at a distance by car. Despite their different paths all ended up at the same warehouse on the outskirts of town, arriving one by one over the course of an hour, someone inside opening the doors for the trucks to park inside while the cars went for a drive around the neighbouring streets.

Inside a small gang was waiting, six men who looked like the typical gang members, all armed and all tired of waiting. Three men in suits waited with them, two joining in a game of cards that a couple of the gang members while the other one was a little more vigilant and patrolled around the area under the trucks arrived. Add in the three truck drivers and their armed passengers and that's fifteen men in total, not including those in the cars travelling around the area. It's lot of men for an apparently innocent delivery.

As the last of the three trucks arrived it was time to get down to business and the three men in suits headed for the trucks to check the cargo, pulling out one of the crates from inside to open it up. Inside appeared to be a dozen individually packaged vials of some chemical. One of many crates in just that truck, if they all contained the same thing then there was hundreds of those vials.

A boy wearing a costume and a mask, was sitting on the roof of the warehouse holding a pair of binoculars up to his face. He was watching the trucks ever since they entered the city, only travelling by foot running on the rooftops to keep up with the cars. He snuck pass the cars that was driving around to get where he was, after all he didn't exactly know what he was up against, he thought it would be best to wait

The crates opened as the boy was crouched down watching from above, his mind quickly jumped into action thinking of ways to handle this situation but he knew he had to get rid of those chemicals. He started listing targets to take out first, he would take out the men that were more alert then work his way down to those who weren't paying much attention. The boy turned around and climbed his way down the warehouse on the opposite side of the trucks and the men.

He went after the one man who was the most watchful, he was hiding behind the corner of the outside of a wall. He threw a rock to lure the criminal to where he wanted him to be, at the right moment robin quietly walked up behind the man and jumped up to wrap his arms around the gangster neck headlocking him. He pull the man down as he land on the ground and covered his mouth so he doesn't make any noise, soon the thug passed out. Robin dragged the body to a hidden and secure place.

The young vigilante looked and found fuse box outside the warehouse, he figured the only way he could take out all the other 14 armed men is to is to scatter them and then take out one by one, tho the plan was just as much flawed. By confusing the men he also alerts them but the kid thought all the other plans had a higher percentage of him getting stab or worse. He cut some wires thus cutting out all the lights, he knew there was no turning back.

"Lady's and gentlemen, let the games begin." Tim said as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then reached for his grappling hook and went up to the roof, where he found a open window and jumped inside.

The first man Robin had snuck up on struggled but taken by surprise there was no hope and nothing alerted the others to his absence. The gang members were all too curious what it was that was in the trucks to notice one of their own had already been taken out. The men in suits were also preoccupied, they were supposed to be there to check what they were given was what their boss had ordered.

One of the suited men pulled out some plastic gloves and a little sealed test tube of something from his pocket. Releasing a tiny drop from one of the truck's vials in to the tube he seemed satisfied when it started giving off a lot of gas. A dark chuckle and he threw the test tube away in to a corner where it exploded as soon as it broke leaving a little red scorch-mark on the ground "Yeah, that's the stuff" the man in a suit grinned as he pulled out his phone and then suddenly the place went dark "Wha' the hell?"

Guns were immediately pointed all over the place, searching for a target "We got company" suit man number two muttered, the men in suits were clearly the brains of this operation and they didn't like the timing, the lights go out just as they're doing the deal? No way that's a coincidence. One of them does produce a tiny pocket flashlight but it didn't do much but provide a tiny area of light and make the shadows seem even darker. All hell broke loose and one of the gang thugs started shooting at one end of the room "There! I saw 'em!" the others immediately joined in and began firing too, shooting at shadows while the suits started yelling "Don't shoot at the trucks y'idiots! Y'kill us all!"

The gang members stopped one by one after the warning but seemed very twitchy fingered. One of the suits snapped his fingers at the truck drivers who had got out of their vehicles to oversee things "You! Get back in the truck! Get the lights on!" No one seemed smart enough to look up at the roof though, they looked at the doors, the walls, even each other but they were panicked and it takes a certain level of smarts to think that the bats come from above. No one saw Tim enter though the movement did attract a paranoid gang member "There!" Who also started firing wildly in that direction.
