    15 KB Shadow of the Bat I'm James Olsen, bitch! !EJMFQtlMjQ 10/10/11(Mon)17:41 No.16583316  
    I wanted some easy money. Sue me.

    They say crime doesn't pay, but that's just a line they feed the kids to keep them out of trouble. Believe me, you can make a lot of dough if you know what you're doing. The boys and I who used to run with the Penguin knew that. If he hadn't gotten pinched, we'd probably still be working for him. But he's in Arkham now, and I'm on my own.

    I needed some cash, so I called up a few friends from the Penguin's old bunch. The four of us showed up at the Watkins Research Center to knock it over; problem was, the Joker and his gang beat us to the punch. Turned out the Joker was there to steal the same thing.

    Dave and Roy-boy didn't make it out alive, but I did. Thanks to him.

    The Bat.

    Is he still alive? Probably. I saw the Joker lay one across his head, but I don't think that did him in. If that was the case, every mook in Gotham would be talking about it.

    I take another peek out the crooked blinds of the dive where I hang my hat at the sound of sirens, but they speed past twelve floors below me and disappear into the jungle. Inside, my gaze flips between Larry as he finishes wrapping up my arm and the high-tech gizmo I managed to slip out from under the Joker when his back was turned.

    I needed some cash, or a weapon, something I could use to elevate my situation, but what the hell am I going to do with this thing? Too hot to fence, too heavy to carry around, too fragile to take into a fight. It looks for all the world like a pair of five-foot metal pipes that someone welded a bunch of glass jars to by their lids. From what the newspaper said it's some kind of vacuum that pulls in energy from other dimensions, but I'm not exactly an egghead, you know?

    I left Roy-boy and Dave behind. Couldn't do anything about it, and it's not like they'll ever complain again, but chances are someone's going to recognize their bodies and put two and two together. What happens after that... I don't want to think about.

    Welcome to Gotham.

    Ask Larry if he knows any fences who might be willing to do something with the device.

    In the meantime, we gotta find a good-GOOD-place to hide it.

    "Say, pal, don't suppose you know anyone we can unload this on," I ask Larry as I button up my shirt. "Or even a place we could stash it for now."

    "What, right now?" Larry asks, glancing at the clock. "I don't know, maybe. What am I supposed to tell 'em, though? We got some kind of souped-up vacuum cleaner?"

    He's got a good point, even though I don't want to admit it. This thing, whatever it is, can't just be pawned off like a stolen purse. And I have absolutely no idea what it's good for.

    "Crazy thing, isn't it?" I ask Larry as I lift it up onto the bed with me and gently turn it over, inspecting the underside. A small row of switches under a glass panel catches my eye, since one of them is marked with the unmistakable word "POWER".

    >OK, here's how it works. Roll 2d100; the first is for Larry's fence and the second is for a place to stash this. If you want to do something else, roll a d100 and state it. You get two rolls.

    "Now how the hell does this thing open?" I ask myself out loud, holding the bottom end up and fiddling with the cover.

    "You want some help? I got a knife-" Larry says, but then my fingernail catches on something and the panel slides back.

    "Nah, I got it. Now let's see what this does," I say, and hoist it up. Larry bolts out of the way as I aim it at the door to my place, then stare at it for a long moment.

    What the heck, right? You only live once.

    I flick all the switches on at once.

    *VZZZZZZAAAZZZZZ!!*

    White light explodes inside the glass jars, making me squint and sweat with a heat I can feel baking off of them! At the same instant an arc of white lightning leaps out of the far end and hits my door, and -

    - That can't be right. Must be the spots in my eyes from the flash. The door - it looks like... it's changing! Flickering, at first it's my cheap wooden door, then it's a metal one, then it's a cheap wooden one again, but somehow not *mine*... for an instant the door disappears entirely and the hallway beyond terminates in a blasted-out wall and a wrecked landscape beyond where everything's on fire... and then suddenly my door's there again.

    "Holy moley, did you see that?" Larry blurts out, rubbing his eyes as the device in my hands crackles and cuts out. "I ain't never seen anything like tha-"

    Someone knocks on the door.

    "Who is it?" I call out, as Larry raises his switchblade and stands motionless by the door.

    For a moment there's silence, then a voice says "It's me."

    "What do you mean 'It's me'? Who are you?" I ask, as Larry glances back at me with a confused expression.

    "Look, I told you, it's me. That's all I know," the voice says.

    "OK, hold your horses," I tell him, and motion for Larry to hide behind the door. "All right, I'm opening it." I grab the handle and twist it savagely, flinging the door open-

    - and come face-to-face with a mirror reflection of myself!

    "I told you it was me," the other fella says, walking into the room like he owns the place. "You got a smoke?" he asks, as Larry looks on dumbfounded.

    "I ... I don't smoke," I tell him.

    "Well I do." he says.

    "You're... me, aren't you?" I ask him, turning my head in wonderment as I walk past to see what the world outside my door resembles. I half-expect some kind of Hollywood monster to jump out at me, but when I crack it open and peek out... it's the same dingy hallway, the same dirty green carpet.

    "Yeah, it's your place," the other me says. "Or at least not my place. That's how I knew something was up. My carpet got torn out last year and they never replaced it."

    "So how did you, uh, get here?" I ask him, as Larry pockets his knife.

    "Your guess is as good as mine," the other me says, and then he notices the device sitting behind the couch and exclaims "Hey, that's the gizmo from the newspaper! You mean you guys pulled that off?"

    "What, this old thing?" I ask him, hefting it up into my arms again. "Yeah, we stole it fair and square. Got pretty lucky with this one."

    "Yeah, we tried to nab it, but the Joker showed up and took it right out from under us." I see him eying the device and I have the sudden thought that if I was in his place I might try to make myself top dog. Lucky for me, I've got a Larry and he doesn't.

    "Let's go for broke," I laugh, and flip all the switches back on again, aiming it at the door and clenching my eyes into slits!

    The electricity sprays out, and the door flickers between a hundred different types before slowing like a roulette wheel and landing back on my own home sweet home.

    When I hear the door knock my dupe and I both shout "It's open!".

    The look on his face when he walks in is priceless.

    Here's the deal: We pretend we know how to work this thing. The clones/alternate reality versions of us might not realize that we don't know how to work it. We tell them that the only way they can go home is if they do what we say, i.e. rob banks/liquor stores, whatever.

    We could give them a quota of cash to bring in. For example, once a clone brings in 10 grand, we tell them we'll send them back to their reality. Except, since we have no idea how to do that, we just kill them and dispose of the body discreetly.

    The other two fellas glance at the gizmo, then at each other, and nod. "Yeah, you got a deal. What other choice do I have?" they both say.

    "All right," I tell them, setting the device down gently on the table. It's heavier than it looks. "Now here's what we're gonna do. The Bat is out there, and he probably knows what we've got, even if he doesn't know we're the ones who have it. We need to find a better hidey-hole, but we also need some cash."

    "Maybe they could go hold up a place and bring it back here?" Larry asks, "Sort of like rent, you know?"

    I think we need to prioritize finding out if there are any important differences between us and our opposite numbers, particularly if there is anything we can exploit to make sure they can be trusted (at the very least, making sure ONE of them is more willing to work with us as opposed to the third one)

    Rolling to grill them on their home realities.

    Who needs guns? We go outside, get a bunch of ordinary weapons. Boards with nails in them, Big rocks, shit like that. We go out, and rob three liquor stores at once.

    Whack-a-mole tactics to distract the security guard, nick his gun, then play "Who's got the gun?" with the cashiers and water pistols. Like Russian Roulette but more fun.

    I like this plan.

    But first we need to hit some smaller stores to get some cash and weapons.

    One of us goes some place public to set up an alibi. The others start robbing liquor stores and gas stations, getting a few thousand dollars after a couple nights. Then we get some specialty tools from some dealer and become cat burglars.

    "You know, you're taking this awfully well," I tell Dewie, looking at him from across the table. "It makes me wonder."

    The other me, Dewie, looks at me for a long moment, then asks "What would you have done if you were suddenly standing in a hall that looked nine-tenths of the way like your place and one-tenth like a stranger's?"

    I think about it for a second, and realize he was probably scared loopy. You have to know how to bluff in this line of work. "Good point. You really do think like me, don't you?" I ask. "Both of you."

    "Not as much as you'd think," Louie says, pointing at the pin-up calender tacked to the wall. "I like brunettes."

    After I have a chuckle at that, we get down to business. "We need cash, there's no question about that. We could just go mob some liquor store, but I've got a better idea. A little more quiet."

    I pick up the phone and dial a number, and a few rings later someone picks up.

    *Hello?*

    "Yeah, I'd like to place an order," I tell him. "I need four small fries with salt. Delivered soon, I'm starving."

    *Yeah, yeah, you'll get your order. What's the name on the account?*

    For a moment the word "Oswald" is at my lips, but then I remember who I'm working for nowadays.

    "Huey," I tell him, and hang up the phone.

    Also I like the art gallery idea and all the stuff about whack a mole tactics. Have one of you in a public place like a crowded fast food joint or bar (it has to be some place a guy like us would be) while the other two rob knock over a few cash registers and lottery tickets.

    Two hours later, after fending off complaints from Dewie and Louie, there's finally a knock at the door. "Midtown Burgers," the voice calls.

    "All right, you two, out of sight," I say, waving the other two fellas into the bathroom as I walk to the door. "Hang on."

    "About time you got here," I tell the pimply-faced guy when I open it. "You're gonna run a tab for this, right?" I ask as I snatch the two fast-food bags out of his hands. As soon as he nods I tell him "Good, now beat it!" and shut the door before he can say anything else.

    "OK, let's see what we've got," I say as I open the bags up on the table.

    "What the hell?" Louie asks as they step out of the bathroom and see the pair of dinky pistols I'm holding. "What are we supposed to do with those, scare off a squirrel?"

    "Pipe down," I tell him, frowning. "I'll think of something.

    Even better, have one guy locked up for a minor felony. Best alibi ever. The other two can just run riot.

    Also, can we only create more clones if we stay in our hideout? That mean's if we move we lose our supply of personnel. What happens if we use it in different places?

    "You're in luck, pal. Half a bottle left, and it's all yours."

    "Maybe this isn't such a bad plan," Louie laughs, tossing back another glass. A few more, and he's looking a little fish-eyed.

    "OK, let's get you outside," I tell him. "You can finish the bottle out there, where people can see you."

    "-hic- All right, pal. Huey," he laughs. "S'what I'm gonna tell the cops. Huey, Louie and Dewey."

    Larry takes over once we get to the door, and leads him to the elevator. A minute later I see them walk out the front of my building, and Larry heads for a pay phone up the block while my dupe upends his bottle and finishes it.

    As I peer out the window, I see a squad car pull up to the curb with its lights on, and I watch the surreal scene of myself being arrested on the street below. "Well, that's that," I tell Dewie. "Once Larry gets back we'll head out. You're gonna need a mask," I say as I fix my old domino mask to my face. "I think I have a skimask around someplace, but it might be a little moth-eaten-"

    "No thanks, I've got my own," Dewie says as he pulls an identical domino mask out of his own pocket.

    "Ready to go?" Larry asks, grinning, when he walks back into the place and jingles his car keys.

    "Let's do it," I tell them, handing Larry the other pistol. "No offense, Dewie," I tell my dupe, "But I need to know I can trust you first. You understand, right?"

    "I'd do the same thing if I were you," he tells me.

    Fifteen minutes later Larry's red sedan is idling around the corner of the Discount Liquors as my dupe and I get ready.

    If the place isn't 24 hour I say we just wait for them to leave that way we don't have to worry about the gun under the counter. Then when the place is locked up and empty. We do a quick smash and grab of the cash register and anything that looks particularly valuable.

    Five minutes later, we're speeding across the Eighth Street Bridge and into the slums, scot-free with more than a thousand dollars between us!

    "Holy moley," Larry says, looking over at the bag full of cash as he grips the steering wheel. "Now that's a score!"

    "You aren't kidding," I agree, grinning. "Must be a bachelor party in town OK, fella, here's your cut," I say as I hold up a pair of fifty-dollar bills and look back at my dupe. "You want to stick with us, you just wait around. Take a left up here, Larry."

    The sedan circles the block while I think about my next move. There's a warehouse near here where I could probably pick up a few choice pieces... or we could milk my alibi a little more... but then I think about that gizmo back at my place, guarded by nothing more than a cheap lock.

    We need to move the gizmo. The police are looking for it. The Joker's looking for it and the goddamn Batman is looking for it. I say we buy our selves a new gun and a bullet proof vest if we can afford it and then try and come up with a good hiding spot for the gizmo. It doesn't have to be fancy but it does have to be somewhere nobody will look.

    Larry pulls the sedan up to the curb and I check my pistol once before I pop the door open. "You two wait here," I say to Larry and my dupe as I step out. "Evening, boys," I call to the two men standing near the warehouse.

    "Hey, I know you," one of them says to me.

    "Good to hear," I tell him. "What I'm looking for is a little home protection..."

    My shopping trip doesn't last very long, but boy, is it productive. A brand-new shotgun, the same bulletproof vests Gotham's finest wear on the job, and enough ammo to make me feel like Rambo.

    "Now we just have to find a place to stick that doohickey for a while," I say, once I'm back in the car and we're headed back to my building.

    "Say, I've got an idea," my dupe says. "It might be a long shot, but do you know about a place on Eighty-First street, behind the grocery store?"

    "Never been there," I tell him. "What is it?"

    "Someplace I used to use," Dewie tells me. "For hiding things."

    I hope to God the fact that the police has "us" in the slammer at the same time some idiots selling guns see us isn't going to come back to bite us in the ass. Batman could probably put two and two together, though he probably doesn't know who we are. If the Joker can figure it out though, it is not going to end well.
