The plan was simple--Marissa would go to a public event just crowded enough that the Artist would probably feel safe showing up and where security would appear to be busier than norm.  She'd get "captured" by the Artist, but with the aid of the Birds of Prey, the Artist would be the one who found himself captured.  Marissa had on her person a tracker so that the Birds could keep track and she was armed with only shuriken as they were small enough to hide.  Everything else would be her own training.

She showed up exactly as planned, making the expected Marissa Wayne appearance which involved the press, a lot of smiling, and mingling with other famous children of the wealthy, most of whom Marissa privately thought were stupid.  She made the requisite rounds before moving off to powder her nose.  She hoped the Artist followed.

Marissa escapes the backseat as the vehicle slides down into the water, with the Artist inside.

Mia and Jane arrived at the harbor, and Mia quickly parked her bike, jumping off of it and knocking her bow.

"Get away from her you jackass!"

It's ridiculously difficult to swim in a party dress, but Marissa makes a solid effort at it. Struggling through the murky, dark water she tries to make her way towards the sound of Mia's voice knowing full well that the Artist is probably right behind her.

The Artist doesn't surface when Marissa does, or at all in the area they're looking in. His driving toward Gotham Harbor was not a random move.

The re-breather he'd hidden in the car allows him five minutes of air before he has to rely on his own reserves.

He swims south, then west, down to the far end of the pier, slipping silently out of the water. He flicks open his switchblade and silently makes his way back toward the women.

He's going to kill both of the tonight and finish his masterpiece.

Mia unfastened her cape, threw her bow and quiver on the docks, and dove in to help Marissa.

"I'm fine. Get out of the water, Mia. That psycho is in here." Marissa shed as much of her dress as she could and made her way to shore.

The Artist hides behind a few cargo crates as he watches Mia dive into the water. There was something familiar about that woman, but he couldn't place it...until he sees the bow and arrows.

He touches a spot just under his breast bone, remembering the arrow that pierced his chest several months ago.

"Red Robin...Red Arrow...red hurts." he whispers to himself.

He moves forward toward Mia's bow, picking it up reverently and nocking an arrow.

"Red hurts." he whispers again, firing into the water.

Mia's eyes widened as the arrow went flying straight towards Marissa. "Look out!" She pushed aside, and the arrow went straight into Mia's heart.

She gasped, as she could feel the blood pumping through her veins start to slow. She fought for breath, but it was no use. She was dying. She knew it, and her body knew it.

She always knew she was going to die young. But she never expected it to be this soon.

The water turned red with blood, and Mia's body slowly began to sink.

"Mia?" Knocked aside, Marissa hit the water and slipped under briefly, rising again to find the water red and metallic-scented with blood.

"MIA!" As she began to sink, Marissa grabbed for her. "Mia, c'mon..."

"Mia?" Jane stepped out of the shadows. She was in dark clothing that hid her well in the dark.

Then she comes running right for the edge. "MIA!"

She is swearing as much as she can as she runs. "Get her out of the water!"

The Artist simply watches all the hullaballoo at Mia's death.

"No! You're ruining my work!" he yells at Jane and Marissa.

Marissa carefully pulled Mia with her to the shore, half-dragging her out of the cold water.

"Please, Mia, please..."

It would be no use, though and as that reality set in, she turned her eyes towards the darkness the Artist is in.

"SHUT. UP."
