"In the left gate, we have the equally awesome and infamous criminal mastermind," the announcer stated as he turned to the left of the arena with equal theatrical zeal.
"A true menace to the citizens of Gotham, the spicy outlaw, the one and only king of flavor..." the announcer added, trailing at the end of his sentence to rile the spectators.
"Bring those hands together for The Condiment King!" the announcer concluded as a man dressed in a patche...

'Well... that was interesting...' I mused as I opened the door and exited The Penguin's office, ignoring the humanoid whale glaring at me as I made my way to the stairs.
'Luckily, it didn't take too long, and I could still get a better look at the place before the tournament starts...' I made my way downstairs into the bar area to see if I could find where the fight would take place and maybe even scope other fighters.
'No familiar faces...' I tho...

'Now, what could The Penguin want with me...?' I blankly mused as I turned to Richard, and he just shrugged to show I should do whatever I wanted.
The way the henchman put it made it seem he was merely asking and not demanding, which made me curious, to be honest. I'd never expected Oswald Cobblepot of all people to ask nicely.
My answer would have been an automatic no if the henchman tried to make demands, and I would have probably flipped him off or beat the shit out of him, but...

"This way, if you please," The Penguin henchman said as he led us inside the club, and I paused for a second to take in and appreciate the fancy interior design.
The place looked luxurious, almost exaggeratedly, with waiters in elegant black suits running around while carrying trays of champagne and every expensive alcoholic beverage you could imagine.
The tables and seats were all mahogany wood, and there over the top posh appearance was only emp...

"Are you ready?" Richard asked as he looked at Gray, who was doing some light sparring with Benjamin as a last-minute warm-up before the tournament.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Gray replied as he caught Benjamin's fist and pushed it away, still holding back his strength, but he was now skilled enough to hold his own without relying on his brute force.
"Yeah, the kid is gonna crush everything in his way," Benjamin said with...

"Isn't that...?" I remarked, raising an eyebrow as I sat in front of my laptop browsing the security footage from the cameras near the warehouse where Patrick and the others stayed.
"Asian, female, teenager, scarred face... Cassandra Cain..." I muttered to myself as I watched an Asian girl make her way to the warehouse, carrying a bag she wordlessly gave to Patrick before leaving.

I couldn't help but smile as I watched the little spider-like machine I'd created by modifying a sentry gun clumsily walking around the hideout, tilting left and right, almost falling with every step.

'Things could have gone better...' I mused, sighing as I removed my equipment and slumped onto my comfortable couch, recalling the day's events.
I was hoping to get a bunch of big-name mercenaries in the theatre to send a clear message for anyone who might get the bright idea to fuck with me, but I ended up with Firefly and a crowd of nobodies.

Quickly detaching the jet-back and throwing it away, Firefly began rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire before it killed him, but he was suffering from his own competence.
His flame thrower and jet-back used a unique type of fuel Firefly created himself that would be very hard to extinguish and would even burn fireproof suits like the one he wore.
However, the pyromaniac didn't have to suffer for long before Wraith came over and put off the flame with a fire extinguisher, ...

Floating above the abandoned, shabby theatre with his jet back, Firefly couldn't help but feel conflicted at the sight of so many people racing to get into one cramped area.
Under different circumstances, he'd torch the place once everyone was inside, get a good chuckle out of their screams, and move on with his life, business as usual.
However, the pyromaniac had found himself in need of money after regaining his freedom and escaping imprisonment...

As he sat on his knees, tending to his arrows, Arthur King the Dark Archer's breathing was relaxed and smooth as he gazed into the monitor before him, showing the five-story building across the street.
Arthur King, also known as Merlin, was a deadly bow-wielding assassin and contract killer, though he wasn't doing much of that lately because of his never-ending rivalry with the Green Arrow.

And here I was prepared to test the mercenary's limits to see how far I could go before he broke. I even pre...
