The city is at war
Gotham City was at it's boiling point.

In the streets, the wars between the crime families had reached its breaking point, with the death of another family head that previous night. The police had their hands full with trying to break up riots.

It had taken some very careful planning on his part, but Hush had managed to break out every prisoner in Arkham Asylum. The guards were dealing with their own personal hell, as the most dangerous criminals in Gotham City were all out of their cells, and they were trying to keep them from getting out into the city.

And now...it was time to test Batman and Robin. Hush delivered a package to Terry McGinnis, with pictures of Dana Tan tied up and beaten, along with his location, a warehouse in Gotham Harbor.

Attached was a simple note:

One Thing Done

Well his plan had certainly worked out well. Pissing off all the Gotham crime families sure had been easy and fun. They had more or less stopped trying to kill each other and were now focused on trying to kill him and the guy working with him not that they knew who he was. But now he was not the next part of his plan surviving part one.

Marcus was certain he could easily escape the crime family guys by laying low for a while and dealing with anyone who caught wind of him but his ‘partner’ was the one he was currently more concerned about. They both knew from the get go they would probably end up trying to kill each other and after seeing Legacy in action he had his doubts he would be able to do it. Well if he fought fair but Legacy had also pissed him off with his close shots to and uncaringness about the civilians around them when they were shooting up the crime family guys.

After stopping to rest for a moment from running and getting his bearings straight he knew it was the perfect time to act. Marcus quickly slashed Legacy’s back with a knife.

“Agh. You stupid idiot. I was going to wait a while to do this but I guess I get to kill you now,” Legacy said.
“Bring it on,” Marcus called back knife out and at the ready to strike again.

They went back and forth fighting on top of the building. Sometimes Marcus landed a few hits sometimes Legacy did. Though most of the time it was Legacy. He was damn good probably better than even the League understood he was otherwise they would never have let an asset like him just do whatever he wanted and barely do work with the league while operating openly in Gotham.

After fight for a few minutes Legacy finally got Marcus into a position to kill him holding his neck in an armlock.

“You really wasted that first strike of yours,” He said, “It’s a shame I really thought better of you.”

“Oh I didn’t waste it,” Marcus said defiantly, “You should be feeling it right about now.”

With that pain shot right through Legacy’s body causing him to let go of Marcus as he fell face first onto the rooftop.

“I knew I probably couldn’t beat you in a fair fight and that you would be on the lookout for me to betray you with something more flashy,” Marcus said kicking Legacy over so he could talk to his face, “Which is why I poisoned you in my first move instead. A nice lethal dose you wouldn’t even notice until it was too late.”

Legacy would have yelled something angry at him but was currently too busy foaming at the mouth and thrashing on the ground to do anything else. A few moments later his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he stopped moving.

By then Marcus had gone he still need to ditch the Crime Family guys but at least that was one thing off his to-do list.
