Prologue
The man walked down the dark streets of the late night Gotham Suburbs, a very dangerous place to walk alone. The dark meant play time for criminals. And for another individual that criminals are to afraid to name. But not this criminal, in fact he didn’t call himself a criminal at all. He called himself an artist. A glasses geek, bandana wearing and beanie using artist but still. This artist was named Edward Nigma or as he forced people to call him ‘Enigma’. He used to work at Wayne industries, the tech department in fact. Why does he no longer work there? He rather would not talk about it. Edward clenched his red hands. He had just done something dark. Very dark. But no worries, he had done it before. Many many times. Still, that doesn’t make what he just did ok. Edward proceeded to walk down a narrow street towards his apartment. Two men were just by his trash cans.
“Now Gentlemen, seems we have a dilemma.” Edward said.
“Just shut up you freak! What’s up with your outfit. Looks like ya just committed a murder.” The left thug replied.
“Ah, about that.”
“Huh? Anyways tough guy, give papa your wallet.”
“I don’t have it.”
“Really?”
“You see, riddle me this. There is a man, a cashier in fact. He asks his customer for twenty dollar piece. The cashier is then killed. How?”
“We ain’t playin’ no games! Give us ya valuables! Now!”
“He was killed by a twenty dollar knife that he bought from a cooking store!”
Edward pulls out a knife and stabs both of the thugs twice. He leaves them to slowly bleed out as he walks into his apartment.
