AU Land--- Mob Boss
In a very different time line things went differently for Sarah. She never met Robin and never had his help. Her life became much more complicated as a result. Instead of slowly getting to the point where she might be free one day things just went too far.

So she killed a Mob Boss and took over his empire. She didn't become strictly evil but she did what she had to so she could hold onto his businesses. She was able to turn some into honest businesses but there were other things she couldn't change. That was what killed part of her just a little bit.

Sleep down't come to someone like her who spends their every waking moment fighting the other families off with Machiavellian moves to topple them should they get too close. She won't let the other families destroy Gotham. Some of the harder drugs stop coming through for a while and it pleases the Master Thief turned Mob Boss.

At least she could do some good. But she's very tired and hates the fact she did have to throw this lavish party for her men. But it was to keep their loyalty. They needed to be happy so parties were just a part of it. Right now though she waves off her body guard and retreats to her office for a drink alone.

She feels so tired right now. She also feels like she's in over her head.

"I'm just tired," Sarah says.

"I don't know what went wrong. One of my men is gathering information for me." She can guess where he is but she doesn't feel like moving. The localized pain killer the doctor had injected so he could remove the bullet out without causing Sarah discomfort didn't make it comfortable for her to move.

"The wound wasn't that bad."

"Good." Hey, nobody said Batman was ever a very sensitive guy.

Nope. Besides he made sure she was alive. He did his job.

Of course Sarah is starting to doze a bit now. Batman still doesn't scare her. She is just going to get up and move even though it isn't advisable.

She wanted tea so she could think.

The shadows just watch her, wondering what she was doing. She shouldn't be moving too much with her injuries.

"This throws a wrench in things. Good side is it gets some of them in police custody, the downside is that they'll be looking into your end more now."

She wants her tea. It helps her to think.

"And my men will expect me to strike back because of what happened. If I don't do something in retribution it makes my position shaky." She fills the kettle and moves it over to the stove as she thinks.

"Hostile take over of one of their chop shops would be easy. I noticed one of theirs is very poorly defended and it's right on the edge of their territory."

While he'd recommend taking over that place, he would've had her do it quietly and not in an obviously hostile manner. "Careful. This could very easily escalate into a full out mob war."

The next bit is said with proper bat gravity. "You don't want that."

Great business advice from Batman.

"You know that's what they were trying to do. My second would have stepped in and gone after them hard if I died tonight." She leans against the counter carefully while searching for her favorite tea.

"I need to patch this situation up carefully."

"Yes but we can't let it escalate to that. Had your second done that he'd be dead, and the situation would be worse. The situation is delicate, we need to do this very carefully." There's a pause as he watches her get tea. "And you shouldn't move around. You'll aggravate your injuries."

"I'l be fine. About two years ago a serial killer tried gutting me just off of Crime Ally. Didn't finish me then... A little bullet isn't slowing me down." She rolls her shoulders thoughtfully.

"But you're right. My thought is remind them to not treat me like they have been. There's a very expensive painting that he bragged about winning at poker game in Ocean City a few years back." Sarah smirks slowly.

"The kind that belongs in a museum. Don't you think the city deserves a generous donation?"

He just shakes his head at her. The woman was reckless. She was one of the people most wanted dead in the whole city and she wanted to break into a rival's house after being shot.

"It's reckless. You're hurt, wanted and it's an unnecessary risk in this situation. All to tweak his nose? No."

"Not right now. That would be stupid and he'd see it coming." But she misses being a thief. She isn't cut out for this. It chaffs being stuck like this.

"Besides you'd stop me at this point. Can't ruin the game plan." Think Sarah how to get back at him.

"Of course. Falcone. He's still pissed about that girl that got killed because of Rittuchi, Boss Panessa's guy."

That was who she had been meeting with tonight. "I know we weren't going to talk to Falcone but right now he's the biggest player in Gotham. I need him to help me settle this without turning this into a war... And he's more inclined to not want a full out war."

"He doesn't have the hold he once did, he knows a war isn't going to necessarily end with him on top. It's not a risk he's willing to take."

Sarah runs her fingers through her hair.

"That's true. Shit. I don't even know who I could start laying the charm on to keep this from getting bloody." She is tired and stressed out.

She should be resting but she is making tea. At least it's not the wine she keeps in here.

"You need to rest," he says sternly. "We'll discuss this tomorrow but you're not going to get anything productive done in this condition."

"I just want tea." It's a bad idea though.

She turns the stove off and starts to move but the pain killer that the doctor used so he could get the bullet out isn't working to keep everything else from hurting so she winces. She tries to hide it but hell this is Batman, he is the single most observant person in Gotham.

"But I suppose rest would be helpful. Freddo will give me that Look if I'm in bad shape tomorrow. I swear he thinks he's my nurse maid somedays."
