Nightwing: City in ruïns #23

It's already too late and Freeze attacks with his Freeze gun. I run to avoid the icebeam and I threw a batarang at the gun so I can disable it. I miss though and Freeze gets only angrier.

 

NW: "Victor please! I just want to talk!"

 

MF: "That's what Penguin said too! When I asked politely to be left alone, he threatened my wife! And than his thugs almost blew up this room!"

 

NW: "You know I'm not like Penguin! You know that!"

 

MF: "Just leave me alone!"

 

I try to get away, but I slip. After I stand up, Freeze hits me with his coldgun and I'm stuck to the ground. I hope I can convince him that I can help him.

 

MF: "Now you will die. So I can just work in peace."

 

NW: "Victor just hear me out! I can put an end to this war. But I do need your help."

 

Freeze looks at me and he's thinking.

 

MF: "Talk. 2 minutes."

 

NW: "Thanks. You're not a bad person, I know that. You've helped Batman multiple times. I just want you to help me. I need some of those freezegrenades you gave Batman once, so I can take down both sides on the war."

 

MF: "You can stop this war if I'll give them?"

 

NW: "Yes."

 

MF: "And you'll leave me alone?"

 

NW: "Yes."

 

MF: "Alright. I'll give you some of my freezegrenades."

 

NW: "Thanks, Victor. I won't forget this."

 

MF: "Yeah, yeah. I have a question."

 

NW: "Sure. What is it?"

 

MF: "How are you planning to take down Black Mask?"

 

NW: "What do you mean? His forces are the weakest in the whole city."

 

MF: "Let me tell you something. Do you know why I chose the mall as my base?"

 

NW: "No."

 

MF: "Because it's right in the centre of Gotham. And let me tell you, I'm not only a scientist, but I'm also a good hacker. My point is, I control every securitycamera in the whole city. Also the ones in Black Mask's base. I've heard a conversation between Black Mask and Black Spider, and they are planning to align themselves with the Joker."

 

NW: "What? Why would he do that? They are archenemies."

 

MF: "Mask wants to take over Gotham. When he has it, he's taking the Joker out."

 

NW: "Wow, thanks for the information Victor."

 

MF: "Anything if you can stop this war."

 

In the mean time I got my legs free and I obtained the freezegrenades. I'm heading for the exit.

 

NW: "Ohw and Victor. One last advice."

 

MF: "And that would be?"

 

NW: "Turn yourself in Victor. Go to Arkham, where it's safe. There I'll make sure you can find a cure for your wife."

 

MF: "I'll- I'll think about it..."

 

NW: "Close enough. I'll see you around Victor."

 

As soon as I walked out the door I contacted Azrael and Huntress.

 

NW: "Guys? You there?"

 

Hntrs: "I hear you."

 

Azrl: "Me to. You found Freeze?"

 

NW: "Yeah, he won't be a problem. We got a bigger one though."

 

Hntrs: "What's up?"

 

NW: "Freeze has securityfeed from almost every camera in Gotham, also Black Mask's. He saw a conversation between Mask and Spider, and Black Mask is gonna align himself with the Joker."

 

Azrl: "Holy shit... are we able to take that?"

 

NW: "We have to strike tonight. At Joker's funhouse."

 

Hntrs: "We can't do that alone."

 

NW: "That's why I'm gonna talk to Gordon tonight. We need his help. Just head for the exit so we can go to the Batcave."

 

As soon as Nightwing walked away from the storageroom though, Freeze realises something. He forgot to tell Nightwing about Deathstroke. Freeze smirks though and he says to himself:

 

MF: "A little surprise won't hurt..."
