Chapter 4 - Hiding His Demons Underneath ~ A Week Later ~ “So, what did Bruce say?” Gracelyn asked, as she made her way down the street. She was more cautious, considering she was alone. She adjusted her coat, something she had brought for the colder spring day. “He's gained access to Riddler's files. He says there's a lot to sort through, but he'll let us know what he learned after going through it.” Renee answered through the phone, before she paused. “Do you think it's a good idea to go visit Edward while Bruce is searching the files? Maybe you should wait.” “As long as I don't show any signs of distrust, it should be fine. This isn't my first visit to Edward's place. And he's been really good this week.” Gracelyn reminded, not too worried. “If you're sure. Just be careful.” Renee sighed. “I will. Have fun at movie night with Harleen and Pamela.” “That's always fun.” “Of course. See you later.” Gracelyn hung up the phone, before she stopped in front of an apartment building.

Chapter 3 - A Prisoner to Your Own Mind “Whoa, what happened there?” Gracelyn points to the ground inside of Edward’s cell.

He was skimming through the pages. “Fetch, what the heck is happening around here?” “Nothing out of the ordinary, unfortunately.” Edward paused at a page, before turning the pages once more. “So, do you like it?” Gracelyn asked, gesturing to the book. “This will certainly keep me occupied. I shouldn't worry

Chapter 2 - Queens of Crime Gracelyn points out a couple landmarks and notable areas to Renee, as they make their way through the city. For Gotham, it’s a quiet day. No crime in sight, as far as they knew. But they pushed the thought away, as they made their way to their destination. “I know you've been here before, but you haven't been able to see most of it.” Gracelyn looked to Renee, who had relaxed after leaving Arkham Asylum. “Probably because most of it is overridden with crime.” Renee pointed out. It was true, because of the high crime rates, the two were either inside or helping Batman. No time for sight-seeing. “True, true.” Gracelyn pulled out her phone, checking the address of their destination. “But we're almost there. See any sign of them?” “Yes.” Renee pointed ahead and Gracelyn followed the direction. Down the street of apartments, stands another generic apartment complex. On one of the higher windows of the building sits a window box, where a beautiful array of
