Gotham City Sirens.

David spent the little time he had remaining, scouting the older parts of Gotham. Based on the Penguins intel it wouldn't be until night fell that the Siren's bar would open up. Meaning he had until nightfall to find the damn place. But after some time searching above ground, David turned his attention to the lower levels.

" Whoever built this place made sure to keep it out of sight from prying eyes." David muttered. Sitting atop an old water tower hanging off the old docks, David spotted a bar built into the side of an old strip. It took some time, but with his goal in sight, David now only needed to return to his apartment to prepare.

David began throwing together his gear. " Can't bring to much with me, don't want to stick out too much. The last explosion drew too much attention. I don't need or want a confrontation with the Bat. And if I'm not careful, that's exactly what'll happen." David muttered. He withheld the explosives and only brought with him his two pistols, one of his swords, and some rope.

That's all he needed.

" Time to get some answers."

With all of his tools ready to go, David left his apartment.

" Heya kitty cat! We're here!"

" Harley, Ivy. It's a pleasurrrre to see you both. Did you get what I asked for?" Selina purred. She held out one of her hands and Harley, placed a small bottle down in her palm.

" Yup! Here ya go!"

" You know, Selina, if you wanted it, why didn't you steal it yourself?" Ivy asked the woman.

" Because the bats been on edge since Arkham. And I couldn't risk taking the job myself. Besides, it was so much easier for the two of you to handle." Selina told the woman. " Plus, you owed me, for letting you stay here."

" I guess, so." Ivy groaned. " The bar seems to be doing well tonight. Quite a turnout."

" Of course, everyone who got out of Arkham wanted a place to spend all of their hard stolen money. Why wouldn't they come here?"

Selina was proud, it was packed house tonight. The business that the breakout at Arkham had stirred up had, made Selina a very happy woman.

But that success would be very short lived.

As Selina celebrated in her new addition to her personal collection of finer artifacts, the door to the Siren's bar burst open.

At first, Selina and the girls believed that Batman had come knocking, but as the man shroud in black came marching towards the front bar, it became apparent that this wasn't the Bat.

" Well, Hello sir. Is this your first time at the Siren's bar?" Selina asked the man.

" Yeah, Are ya new in town?! Ya look new! What's your name new guy?!"

" Harley, that's enough. Settle down." Ivy told the woman.

David looked at Harley and Ivy and scoffed. " No. No, I'm not new in town, Harley. I know who you two are. A catwoman, though? That's new to me."

" Really now? Well, what do we call you?" Selina asked the man.

" I don't have a name. And I don't need one. What I need is information." David told the woman.

" Heheheh! Selina, how far you've fallen. Letting unknowns like this person in here." The man speaking was wearing a straw mask and tossing a small grenade in his hand.

" Not tonight, Crane. I just had the place renovated." Selina told the man.

" Hehehehe! Come now, Selina. Is that anyway to talk to a valued customer?" Scarecrow asked the woman.

David smashed his hand on the table and left a giant crack across the counter. " I'm not in the mood to play games, Crane." David told the man.

" Who said anything about playing games? Tell me, what's your biggest fear?" Scarecrow asked the man. " What do you say we find out?"

David exhaled a deep breath of annoyance and stood up from the bar. When he turned around Scarecrow launched the small bomb right at him and David caught it.

The Grenade exploded in David's face and Scarecrow started laughing. But then the unexpected happened.

David leaned closer to the small gas grenade and took a deep breath of the noxious gas, before exhaling it back out through his mask. " That's not bad. here, you have a try." David threw the small gas bomb back at Scarecrow and watched as the man started rubbing his eyes profusely.

" Wha- What is this? How- How did you? What are you?!" Scarecrow found himself victim to his own toxins.

The patrons of the Siren's bar were completely in shock. Even Harley couldn't believe someone other than Ivy was immune to the scarecrow's gas. That stuff was strong. Almost as strong as the Joker's venom.

David pulled out one of his guns and shot Crane right in his chest. " There. A little anesthetic for the trauma. Now, does anyone else have something to say?" David waited for a moment and watched as one of Selina's guards dragged Crane away. " Good. Now, listen up. I'm looking for someone, and i was told he comes here quite often. His name is Chis Wheelan. One of Black Masks men. Does anyone know him?" David asked.

" Why are you interested in one of black masks rats? The guy's a pushover." Ivy asked.

" Because Wheelan... Let's say he's hurt a friend of mine. And I want to pay him back. And because I need to know who hired those men that assaulted Arkham." David told the woman.

" You want Wheelan. And what do we get in return?" Selina asked.

" You get to walk out of here tonight. I'll give you all the same chance I gave Penguin." After saying that, faces in the room began to turn. It had only been a night, but word had spread about the massacre at the docks. " Tell me what I want to know, and I promise to stay out of your hair.... For a while. And maybe I'll even owe you a favor. That's a win/win."

" True, Wheelan does show up quite often. He hasn't been around since his escape, but maybe that'll change. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing when or where he'll show up." Selina told the man.

But that's when Harley started jumping up and down shouting with her hand raised. " Oh! Oh! I know! I know where he is!" Harley shouted at the man.

" Harley!" Ivy shouted.

" He's hiding in one of Lex Luthor's hideouts on the North Island. It's right by Amusement Mile. It's in the Booby trap. One of Black Masks old places, before Luthor pushed him out. All you gotta do is look for the guard surrounding the place. You can't miss it." Harley exclaimed.

David looked at the woman and laughed. " Heh! Thanks, Quinn." David said to the woman.

" Your welcome!" Harley shouted.

" Harley you just gave away any kind of advantage we had." Ivy told the woman.

Harley looked back at Ivy and then to Selina who was also giving her a look of displeasure.

" Oops! Sorry red." Harley said to the woman.

" Heh! Don't be sad ladies. If your information is good, I'm sure I'll owe you a favor, Harley. If not... Well, you'll end up like Penguin and Crane." David told the three women. David without saying another word turned to leave the Siren's bar.

However, as he was getting ready to leave the establishment, one of the patrons of the bar stood up and grabbed David.

" Hey man. Were you really the one who put the hurt on Penguin?"

David shrugged the man off and continued walking out. He didn't have time to deal with some drunken thug. Not tonight anyway.
