"Better to be laughed at then wrong."

My memory seemed to only be getting worst around Riddler but I noticed it was late and took it as my cue, I jumped out the window and used my grapple to swing down and land in my motorbike.

I notice Batman's bike not far from his meet up point and followed him subtly, they had been following Penguin meaning they were onto the wrong person.

I kept myself a distance away from Batman despite everything in Mr begging me to run to him, it wasn't long until Gordon and the others were in a shoot out anyways.

I snuck up behind a group of his men as Batman laced unconscious on the floor, I quickly handle them before leaving towards Penguin and tackling him to the floor.

He didn't expect me and grinned when he saw me and looked at something on my chest plate when I realise Riddlers symbol was on it, this caused my guard to drop and for him to get the upperhabd and manage to get me on the floor.

He threw a punch before going to choke me when we heard something, it sounded like a high pitch engine?

I turn to see the car I had helped him with and smiled before Penguin let go off me and stood up, he took a step back before shouting something then running.

I pull myself up to feel a hand on me and panic, I turned to see Jim trying to help me which made me confused.

"Run, follow the plan." Riddlers voice came over the AI.

His words echoed I my head as I blankly stared at Jim before my AI glitched before text displayed.

"Trust him."

It was gone ad soon as I read it, meaning Riddler was trying to stop it from encouraging me to interact with them.

I punch Jim suddenly and shuffled back before standing and running to my bike, Jim ran to his car and be was soon chasing after me.

Increasing my speed wasn't getting rid of him either so I took a sharp turn for him to do the same, fuck he really wants to talk.

I took another sharp turn and drove up a ramp but only sped up whilst Jim quickly came to a halt, he jumped put the car and shouted for me but I ignored him and drove off the ramp.

The bike and I were airborne for a few moments before I harshly landed and skidded on the floor, I pulled myself up again to see it had damaged my suit but ignored it and walked back to my motorbike.

I turn to see a car rolling towards me but it bounced over me and the bike and noticed Batman's car again, the car landed on its rood as Batman stepped out the car.

We locked eyes for a moment.

"Ghost, this isn't you." He spoke.

My grip on the bar of the bike tightened as I bit my tongue knowing he was right, I didn't turn away as he took a step towards me until there was a sudden electric shock.

It caused me to almost fall of my bike and Batman notice this wasn't entirely my decision, I went to speak but decided not to before driving to the orphanage at high speed.













I arrived at the orphanage and park my bike in a hidden area and take my suit off and hide that too, looking at this building just flooded my mind with all the screams of the kids that died here and of all the bad memories here.

Deep breaths.

I walk into the building and step into the area that Riddler wanted me to be in to lure Batman and Jim to where he wanted, it wasn't long before they showed up here and I heard them freak out over some dropheads.

Jim turned his flashlight for it to land on me, his eyes widen and Batman locks his eyes on me for a glint of recognition to be in them too.

Before anyone could do or say anything, I ran down the hall like Riddler told me to.

I would stop at a turn and make sure that they saw me clearly go that way, I hated this as every corner I turned seemed to only plague me more with the trauma that occurred here.

Riddlers spraypaint seemed to be slowly vanishing from my vision too and I just hoped that he had cameras here incase something happened, my heart was racing and all that I could focus on was the way that I was going.

I open some doors and turn to see a projector with the Wayne's on them, Thomas and Martha were on them but they were the same photos as what he had on his walls.

I stopped in my tracks and stared at it as I didn't know this was part of the plan, there was a sudden noise which triggered the video to play but I turned to see Batman and Jim.

The video caught my eye and I turned again to watch it, Batman was slowly stepping towards me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

I punched him in the face without thinking twice, he managed to catch the punch and see my watering eyes.

Was I really crying again?

"He's the only one I have left, Bruce left me." I sob.
