| "Is it, now?" The man says. He wears a futuristic suit of knight's armor and held some form of cyber lance and shield. "And I assume you are their captor?" | |

| "I am the one who sees over the inmates, yes, you are correct. The fact is that in their current state they are dying."
"W-what?", Caliber questions.
"You are all fine at the moment, however, should they be removed then that would lead to most dire consequences. I also know, whoever you are, that if you have need of these inmates then breaking the order here would be against your own goal." | |

| "Is that so? Oh, how inconvenient that must be, indeed," the man says nonchalantly, looking them all over with his helmet interface. | |

| "Not entirely.", the old man speaks up from behind. "If you or anyone else were to call this... a prison, then I would have to disagree." | |

| "And what, may I ask, is it...to you?" The man responds. | |

| He raises a hand from his cane and scratches his chin in thought before replying. "A... waiting room. Or, if you wish to be crude, a storage." | |

| "Yes, well, I'm sure we could go about this for some time but I have a task to fulfill and a time limit to do so by. Do you have a legitimate means of allowing me to purchase your 'inmates'?" | |

| "If you are indeed short on time then you will not appreciate the currency.", the old man tells him. "Because it is exactly time that I bargain with. Your life, that is.", he says and makes a beckoning move with his hand. One of the tied villains start convulsing repeatedly as light grey smoke pours out of his mouth, oozing over to the old man's hand where it rests. The villain meanwhile had grown particulary older. | |

| "How...typical of this world," the knight says. The he taps his staff against the floor of the cavern. Another portal opens. "A moment, if you please." He steps through the portal and it closes. It reopens moments later. "A near army of figures identical to him, save for the symbol on the armor's chest plate, emerge from the portal. "Will they suffice?" | |

| The corner of his lips twitches in slight irritation. "What a foul move... duplicates...", he complains like a collector would do. He raises his nose a bit and sniffs. "Hmmm... you reak of sin... I will let you rent them." | |

| "Duplicates? Â Ah..The understanding of a being from a lesser world. Forgive me. I am normally more alert to your disadvantage...unfortunately, I doubt they will all be returning." | |

| The old man narrows his eyes and glances around at the selection before stopping at Clue. "I'd rather keep this one for a while. He's a special part of this collection, you see. I hope you don't mind."
Derek sobered up slightly and accessed the JL computer. | |

| "I'm touched," Clue laughs.
"I'm afraid I cannot-"
Suddenly another portal opens behind him and out march three men in similarly futuristic attire, one dressed as an executioner and one as a squire. "I see these negotiations are faring poorly, Gallant."
"Squire, Sepulcher, the negotiations-"
"Are over," Sepulcher, the executioner interrupts.
Squire opens a sort of holo-scroll. "By decree of our king, these 'inmates' are to be released to our custody effective immediately," he reads. | |

| Nightwing returned to the Batcave, battered and bruised from his spree.

| Angelica sat at the monitor. "So you're taking this as hard as the rest of us, I see," she says. She hadn't slept. If she didn't hate the taste of most alcohols so much, she may well have taken Derek's path. | |

| Nightwing was silent as he just sat down on the floor and used the wall to prop himself up. He sighed before speaking. "I broke the rules." | |
