Gotham Underground: The Meeting
As Riddler and the rest of his men joined the search for Signal Man, Empress Penguin and Arnold hung back, eventually going somewhere else entirely; they went to Gotham Docks.
Arnold had been relatively quiet ever since Esmeralda shot his puppet, but he followed Esmeralda everywhere now. She didn’t seem to mind much. He was a good listener, a good taker of orders.
As they arrived at the docks, a man stepped out from the shadows. Arnold couldn’t get a good look at him, but he could tell he was dressed in lavish clothing.
The man spoke with a thick Arabic accent, “Ms. Cobblepot.”
“Sir. I must thank you again for bringing me back to life. Death is a bitch.”
The Arabic man chuckled, “Yes, I know...I assume that the plan is proceeding?”
“Yes sir. The Gotham underworld will be under your control within a few months, at least.”
“Hmm...yes, that will do. And, I’m terribly sorry I forgot to ask, but...who is this man beside you?”
Arnold cowered a bit behind Esmeralda.
“This is Arnold Wesker. Don’t worry sir, he’ll do whatever I ask.”
The Arabic man seemed pleased, “Good. Mr. Wesker, you must know that this plan must succeed. You must also not fail me.”
“O-Of course s-sir.”
“Good. I must get back to the League. Good luck, Esmeralda.”
“Safe travels, Mr. al Ghul”
