"Come as you are, as you were. As I want you to be."

I had been Ghost for a few months now and it seemed that Gotham preferred me to Batman which confused me so I started prioriozing this life, this meant that I cut ties with my personal life like Bruce had done.

The media was starting to worry for me as they saw me getting more and more tired every day but didn't know why, they thought my disappearance would be temporary but I doubted that.

My tires squealed as I took a sharp turn as I was in a chase with someone who had stolen this car after robbing a bank, I put my bike on auto pilot and leap towards the car.

My arm latches on and I pull myself up onto the roof of the car and dangled down to grab the driver out of the drivers seat and throw him into the back, I jump into the car and stop it and cuffed the man to the backseat before jumping out the window to land on my motorbike again.

I take a sharp turn causing me to almost topple off so I could get to the next crime, I suddenly see another bike and apply the brakes as the other does.

Hold on, was that-

"Ghost." Batman spoke.

My bike had skidded slightly to the side meaning that I had almost crashed into him, maybe I needed to stop being so reckless with my driving.

We were sat on our bikes in silence for a moment, it was awkward and you could hear our bikes ready to go in an instant.

"Did you need anything?" I ask.

Batman seemed to snap out of some sort of trance and drove forward until his engine stalled, I drove around him and zoomed past him as he struggled for a moment to get his bike to start again.

"Creep." I scoffed.

I wrapped up a few more errands as Ghost and was debating going home until my AI went off, I had hacked into most of Gothams cameras and designed this AI to spot anything strange.

"Unusual behaviour spotted at the Mayor's mansion. Co ordinates are-"

Why did it cut off? It hadn't done that before.

I roughly knew where the mansion was so I performed a sharp turn and sped up causing my engine to rev, I weave between cars and skip a few red lights until I reach the Mayor's mansion.

I switched my bike off and stepped off it whilst looking around, nothing seemed off and I opened to see what the AI saw.

The footage was corrupted, damn.

However, I notice a shadow peaking over the edge of one of the buildings in front of the mansion.

My head snaps to look at them and the shadow freezes as my gaze locks on them, they knew they were caught but was waiting to see my reaction before reacting themselves.

I grab the grappling hook I had and run towards the building before shooting it last minute, the shadow still doesn't move until I land on the roof not far from them.

They were in a dark green with a white question mark on their jacket that was clearly spraypainted on whilst wearing a gas mask the same colour with clear framed glasses over it, the person slowly raised to their feet.

"Ghost, it's nice to meet you. My name is-" they went to speak.

I leap towards them and latch onto their shoulder and push him forward causing us to roll, I land above him with my foot to his shoulder.

"What is your business here? Your presence is abnormal in this location." I ask in a demanding voice.

They now seemed startled as if they didn't expect me to react this way when I realised I shouldn't, there was nothing I could do and had nothing to arrest him for if I could.

I stepped off the person but they remained laid on the floor, possibly still in shock.

God, what was I thinking?
I hated the Mayor anyways, why did I care?

"My name is Riddler, I'm here trying to take photos of either you or batman for the press." They shrugged.

The masked man was stood up now and was in front of me which I hadn't noticed, leaving my guard like that was a bad idea.

"Riddler? Interesting name." I speak honestly.

I notice a camera behind us that I might of knocked out of his hands and it was blinking a red colour, I stepped over it and picked it up then gave it back the man.

"Thank you, for both my camera and the compliment." The man chuckled.

Was he getting flustered or something?

"No problem, you said you wanted photos. I can lower us down and let you take photos of my bike if you want." I suggest.

Their eyes seemd to widen with joy when I suggest this, they nkd their head and I smile under the mask.

I lowered us both to the ground using the grappling hook and let the man take photos of my bike before driving off, he took photos as I drove off but my AI was still acting up slightly until I left that area.

Huh, must be a signal issue.
