Release from Arkham
"Welcome to Gotham Evening News, this is Harris Stevens with a breaking news report. After years of confinement within Arkham Asylum, Warren White, aka the Great White Shark, is being released. According to reports doctors had been keeping track of a steady improvement of White's mental stability. Doctors from metropolis and Star City have also been brought in, confirming Mr. White's newfound sanity. This scene was taken today at the doors of Arkham."

The view shifts from the newsroom to the doors of the infamous asylum. Several guards escorted a pale-skinned man, bereft of hair, a missing nose, and filed-down teeth. In contrast to the fearsome appearance the man gave, he looked calm and at peace, seemingly overwhelmed by being outside Arkham's walls.

"Mr. White's attorney has said that his client intends to reimburse the families of all those he stole from years ago, as his first step towards true penance. Given the history of incidents with released patients, Mr. White will remain under a period of outside observation to make certain his rehabilitation is genuine. We will keep the public appraised of the situation."

	Ezra, watching the television upside down, rolls his eyes. "Oh, yeah. Their outside observation is, I'm sure, as effective as their actual mental health care." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"And I'm sure this won't be biting anyone in the ass any time soon," Evan said dryly from the couch, not even phased by Ezra's choice of tv-watching. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	" 'Course not. Perfectly safe." Dad-Creote was going to have to clean the sarcasm out of the carpet at this rate. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"Oh what the....?!" Maria said as she watched the news report. "One more back out on the street." She didn't buy the reformed act for a second. (Reply to this)

	Thomas saw the news and rolled his eyes. Great, more problems when he came back into town. Joy. (Reply to this)

	Nick didn't get how anyone thought this would end better than any of the other times that this type of thing had happened. He was definitely going to start working on an editorial piece on this. (Reply to this)

The Following Day

"I have to say, you handled the media very well, Mr. White."

The aforementioned Warren White was pouring himself a drink, his missing fingers glaringly obvious holding the cup.

"Public relations isn't all that hard, Gary. It's not just about saying what people want to hear, it's about proper body language and delivery. So, how long am I going to have rent-a-cops watching me?"

"Several months at the least, Mr. White."

White shrugs. "Can't be helped." He takes a drink. "More than enough time to see how Gotham's change dover the years."

	There doesn't seem to be anyone else in the room, but about a minute after his man leaves, there's a voice from the shadows. Though it's not clear where it's coming from. Just that it sounds eerily similar to the classic bat gravel. "It certainly has changed Warren." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	White turns at the voice, though he doesn't seem particularly scared as realization hits. "I heard there was no Bat on the streets anymore," he says, nonplussed. He takes another drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robin hadn't expected for a moment to scare the guy, this man wasn't a hardened criminal in Gotham because he scared easy. "So they say. Yet the streets aren't bare you'll notice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Day arkham_inmates 2013-01-04 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"So it seems." Another drink. "You going to come out of the shadows or loiter like a creepy stalker? Pfft, look who I'm talking to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Day cantkeepmeout 2013-01-04 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	For the first time this meeting, despite the bat-voice, White will be able to hear something he wouldn't have heard from the Batman quite distinctly. A smirk. "I'm just fine with being creepy. But that shouldn't bother a reformed man like yourself. Should it Warren?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Day arkham_inmates 2013-01-04 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Fair enough," White says with a shrug. "So what do I owe the visit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Day cantkeepmeout 2013-01-04 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Call it professional curiosity. I wanted to see the journey of a reported reformed criminal and how he adjusts to life outside bars. Juggling the doctors and the public's impression of you along with your side activities should be interesting. I'll be watching it closely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Day arkham_inmates 2013-01-04 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	Warren simply raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, you'll probably find Bingo Night fascinating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There's just a dark chuckle from the shadows. "High stakes and less savory players than your average community center though."

The chuckle is replaced by a grim bat glare and gravel. Even if he couldn't see it the threat in his voice loomed clearly. "Nobody's fooled Warren, it will come to public's attention eventually. But until then, I know. And as long as I know, you will never be free to operate as you wish."

"Watch your step. Or you won't have many as a free man left."

A brief sound that could be the fluttering of a curtain, or maybe a cape, is all that's heard before the aura of hostility radiating from one of the shadows is gone.

	He takes a moment after he hears the younger man leave. "We'll see." (Reply to this)(Parent)
