Even second city wasn't this big. Viran thought to himself as he stared down at the citizens below him. He was careful to make sure no one saw him at the moment, he knew from his experiences in Second city that large, green aliens weren't a common sight. From what he understood, the city was still recovering from the loss of the one known as "Batman" and crime was still much higher then usual but it wasn't as high as when he and a few of the other Titans had arrived.
It was a madhouse when we first got here. He thought as he saw a few of the citizens of Gotham laughing with each other at something as they entered one of the stores. Viran didn't know much about Gotham or the one who had called himself "The Joker" but he had learned enough that he was glad the Joker had turned himself in. It sounded as if that particular villain had created a body count that rivaled War and Genocide's.
Still, the crime rate had been falling since Viran and a few others had arrived in the city and that was good. He preferred the non-lethal approach but he couldn't help but think that someone else may have been drawn to Gotham along with the Titans.
There had been reports of a strange figure striking at criminal elements around the city. Large spider-webs had appeared around the city, mostly near crime scenes that had been hit by someone who did not share Viran's belief in the non-lethal approach. Already quite a few small time criminals had been killed and even some of the bigger crime bosses were trying to go into hiding. Whoever was committing the vigilante acts was almost as dangerous as the criminals he was trying to stop. Perhaps even more so.
He turned to look at a large screen across the street where a woman with a red coat on was reporting on the current state of the city.
"-In other news, the bodies of three more small time crooks were found this evening outside of Arkham hanging from one of the trees. All three have been identified and two of them appear to have had arrest warrants that were still active. All three are believe to have been killed by being brutally beaten to death. The local police has refused to give out any more information but they have stated that Vigilantes will not be tolerated in Gotham. There are still reports of costumed heroes attempting to pick up where the Batman left off after his tragic final battle with the Joker. For whatever reason, they appear to be using non-lethal means to take criminals in and have so far not been identified, however for the first time in quite awhile, the crime rate has finally begun to go down. The question remains though: What will happen to these new heroes when they have to fight villains such as Clayface or Killer Croc? Will they work with the police? Or will they take the law into their own hands?
This is La-"
Viran shook his head and turned away from the screen. He had heard that many villains called this city home and he was determined to keep this city safe from them.
He sighed heavily for a moment. There were many issues clouding his mind at the moment but the one that occupied his thoughts at the moment was Mina and his feelings for her. He knew that he had strong feelings for her but he was unsure if she felt something for him. He still felt guilty for thinking about her as more then a teammate. He felt as it he was dishonoring his deceased best friend. Mason had died a while ago and he couldn't help but feel guilty for having feelings for Mina.
He shook his head again and tried to get those thoughts out of his head. He wouldn't press the issue with Mina the next time he saw her. But a part of him hoped that maybe she would feel the way he felt about her.
