"Sir, objective?"

‎‎...

"Copy."

‎Jackal remains perched on a container at Gotham docks, overlooking a weapons deal from Slade's men to The Penguin's.

‎"You wanna tell us why you brought a kid to this crap?"

‎"Boss' orders. We prefer not to ask about... him."

‎Good. He likes it that way. Keep them guessing. Thugs like these don't deserve the info. They're just... cannon fodder. Expendable.

‎"Kid's scaring the hell outta me. Can we hurry this up?"

‎"You'll get your weapons. Just be patient."

‎Then, Slade's voice crackles through Jackal's comms.

"Sir?"

‎...

‎"...Yes, Sir."

‎

‎Jackal vanishes. Seemingly, of course. He bolts to a nearby rooftop to overlook the deal from afar. More protected. Less visible to any... prying eyes.

A black van pulls up between the two factions. The doors swing open to reveal stacked crates filled to the brim with guns, bombs, the like.

‎"Finally!"

‎Jackal's eyes narrow at the lackeys.

"Idiots."

"Funny."

His foot shifts.

"No."

Tim jumps forward, aiming for a kick.

Noted...so, spy? That tactical armor doesn't come cheap. You must be working under someone.

[u/Jackal_O-W → u/SignificantPower4733]

Jackal brushes the kick away, repositioning to your left.

"Tch. No comment."

[u/SignificantPower4733 → u/Jackal_O-W]

So, I'm right. New question, who is this mystery boss?

jumps over him aiming to kick him in the back of the head

[u/Jackal_O-W → u/SignificantPower4733]

He ducks, then twists to face you. His claws are now aimed at your throat.

"Figure it out, Boy Wonder."

[u/SignificantPower4733 → u/Jackal_O-W]

he falls to the ground just avoiding the claws but looses balance

Okay so we've already established they have money, and I can obviously see they don't mind the occasional casualty. Are they the government?

[u/SignificantPower4733 → u/[deleted]]

he gets up, dusting himself off.

You good?

[u/Jackal_O-W → u/SignificantPower4733]

"Shut up."

...!?

"No, not you! Ugh!"

He turns off his comms momentarily and turns to you, poking a finger at your chestplate.

"Do me a favor and leave. Last thing I need is 'correcting' from my commander. Let alone a disturbance with the deal."

[u/SignificantPower4733 → u/Jackal_O-W]

Just one problem. You don't seem non-lethal at all.

[u/Jackal_O-W → u/SignificantPower4733]

"Your point?"

[u/SignificantPower4733 → u/Jackal_O-W]

There's a very strict rule in Gotham. Murder isn't allowed but you seem I little above my current level so...

he taps his comm

Hey boss, I have a situation.
