Vincent stood in the bathroom looking at himself in the mirror after a lukewarm shower. Reaching into his inventory he pulled out a case, glancing at the case then back at his reflection.
' my eyes are my noticeable feature ' he thought with a sigh while looking at his wounds rapidly recover, shaking his head he smirked then opened the case pulling out a contact container.
Opening the container he looked at the red circles ' never thought I'd need these, thank you Sydney ' putting the contacts in he looked at how they changed his eyes to they were red now one was slightly darker than the other.
Placing the case back into his inventory he pulled out a new out fit, now he was wearing black pants, a blue shirt with gray around the collar, a black leather trench coat and he completed it with ankle high steel soles boots.
After looking at his outfit he decided to wear fingerless gloves and ninja mask. Giving himself a once over he brought out his cellphone and noticed a bunch of missed calls ' sorry to worry you Jesse but your life would be in jeopardy if I called you now' he thought as he placed it back.
Then walked out of the bathroom to see Harley twirling her hair and kicking her feet as she sat on the table looking bored, her head turned to the bathroom door as Vincent appeared in sight.
" wow, ya look different" she said aloud then gave a playful whistle
" I been thinkin.. you're gonna help me get revenge for my puddin " Harley stated while getting off the table, she ran up to Vincent and circled around him checking out his clothes " so where'd ya get this stuff, anyways" she asked quizzically
' well isn't she an energetic person ' Vincent thought while watching her then his mouth formed a smile " magic mon petit ami, just magic. So who's this pudding of yours" he replied while holding her shoulders so she'd stay in one place, then patted them.
" my one and only snookie bear" she said turning around with a sigh that seemed full of sadness " that damned bat killed him. Mistah J, my puddin."
there was anger in her voice with a hint of sorrow
" and I couldn't do nothing, cuz of being locked up and all, so I escaped." she finished with a sad look while looking at Vincent.
" so whaddya say? We are friends ain't we?"
Her two questions made Vincent think for a bit.
" I would love to help you Harley, but I'm kinda on the run from an organization that calls themselves A.R.G.U.S, it's the reason I tweaked my appearance." Vincent said as he had a look of contemplation on his face
" how about this, we gather some people, create a little chaos and in the midst of all that we search for signs of batman, and if we can't find any signs we go to New York and look for a facility, that housing what was labeled project xray, you might be surprised with what they have going on there." Vincent smiled while speaking then laid his hand on her shoulder.
He needed an ally one who wasn't afraid to get their hands dirty and he also needed some pawns and Harley was a person with means to get pawns and wasn't afraid of the dirty work, he learned that from her words. He didn't care if they found batman, clues or anything and if they did he could careless if batman lived or died, what he did care about was this project xray which spoke of the "perfect weapon" and had a list of names, it sparked his interest which ignited his appetite and when they came for him it made him all the more interested. His eyes sparkled thinking about what he'd find.
"Ya mean it?" Harley asked with bright eyes as Vincent gave a slow but thoughtful nod ' although she does seem a little unpredictable ' he thought with the nod.
" of course I do but." He paused and looked her in the eyes " we have to move slowly, patiently, you see Harley patience is key to our success" Vincent grinned widely as he turned away from her.
" first I'm going to need to know what you know, then I need you to show me around and as I look around, well" he lifted his head towards the ceiling " we're going to need some good pa.. I mean allies to help us out." His statement finished he walked towards the table and looked at his broken mask and sighed ' the fox requires multiple holes, so I require multiple identities ' he thought with a grin.
" Harley, while we go out we should introduce a one " Remy Lebeau" to the people. " as he saying this he placed his hand on his chest " so the first place we go has got to be a casino." He added with a laugh " we shall all learn together, isn't that nice " with this addition he turned to Harley his mask in hand, it vanished in thin air.
Harley eyes were big as her smile grew she laughed. They talked about the things that were happening in Gotham and what little she knew about bludhaven and how she was apart of a task force that placed bombs in people's head. Vincent talked about bits and pieces of his past while not going into to much details.
As they discussed, they left out of the building to go eat while walking Vincent was mentally making notes of the area he was curious about the suppose hero of bludhaven whom runs around at night, in black and blue keeping in mind the areas he has appeared .
Vincent never understood why people just let these heroes live when they have them where they want them but he understood why people follow those with power, it was out of fear, respect, loyalty,and trust.
For Vincent he's never placed his trust in anyone else but himself, the last time he trusted someone, they betrayed him so when he found them he tortured that person, he wasn't mad, angry or anything there was just an unspeakable calmness.
Now here he was walking around with Harley talking about putting a group together.
That night
Vincent stood on a roof looking towards Gotham,while thinking about the steps in his plans. " knowledge is nice, knowledge is great but to much knowledge will have you hunted, wouldn't you agree?" Vincent spoke into the air.
A person in black with a blue bird on his chest walked out of the shadows not saying a word but looking at Vincent's back.
"I am new to town, got in last night the names Remy Lebeau and you must be the nightwing, care to learn with me." Vincent asked without turning his head.
He heard footsteps leave the roof and let out a hmm sound as he shook his head then looked to the sky. As a mouse climbed up to sit on his shoulder 'yep, it's all about getting the proficiency up, the only way to master an ability.' Vincent thought to himself the turned his head to the mouse on his shoulder " you have the information I need?" Vincent asked
As the mouse replied in his ear and a smile bloomed on Vincent face.
