We see Owl-Man perched on a gargoyle.
There's 4 gargoyles surrounding the top of the clock tower, every one of them overseeing a different part of Gotham, North, East, South and West.
A few years ago, Gotham was a city plagued by crime, a city lost to the evil clutches of crime.
But now, Gotham is just like any other city.
The Joker is in jail, The Penguin is on life support, Two Face got plastic surgery, Poison Ivy runs a florists.
Its normal now.
And, its boring.
There's no crimes to detect, no people to save.
The only criminals left are just thugs.
Well.... all except one.

KILLER CROC!

The human crocodile has found a new way to make money, being a pimp.
there's little leads on his location.
It would just be so convenient if there was a... scream.

"HEEELP, SOMEBODY PLEASE!"

Owl-Man glides off of the gargoyle, he flies through the air casting a shadow over the city.
He follows the screams and lands on the side of the road.
Peeking into the dark alleyway he sees a woman and a man fighting.

"Hey, scumbag. Get your damn hands off of her!"

Owl man shouts in a deep voice

"Back off Owl-Man, i bought her."
"He's had me for hours, he has a knife!!"
"Shut up, bitch."

The man smacks the prostitute.
Owl-Man has seen enough.

He lunges at the criminal and uppercuts him.

"Please dont hurt me!"
"I wont, youre safe."
"Thank you!"
"Are you one of Crocs girls?"
"Yeah."
"Where can i find him."

The prostitute looks nervous about answering

"You can tell me."
"He lives in one of those mansions in Mountain Drive."
"Hmm, any way to narrow it down?"
"It has a swimming pool."
"Thanks for the info."

Owl-Man fires his grappling gun at a nearby building and glides away, seemingly disappearing into the night.
Mountain Drive, a pretty place. Mansions belonging to Bruce Wayne, Quincy Sharp, billionares and political figures.
Its odd how only 2 mansions have swimming pools though, and one of the mansions uses it as a giant fish tank.
1002 Mountain Drive, that's where Crocs little playboy mansion is.

Owl-Man arrives at the mansion, there's security cameras all over the place, and they're unavoidable, Croc will know he's coming.
Without fear, Owl-Man pushes open the front gates.
Croc no doubt has guards around the mansion, but with any luck they wont be quick enough to catch him.
As Owl-Man walks into the mansion, he encounters a guard holding an AK-47 assault rifle.
He's no danger though, he gets swiftly taken out by a well placed punch to the jaw.

All is normal until something on the guard begins beeping loudly.
Croc put heart rate monitors on the guard, its a trap.
A dozen guards begin to flood into the room.
There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to run and fighting them all seems improbable considering the fact they have military grade rifles.

"Stop right the hell there, Owl-Man."

Shouts one of the guards.
No way out.
Well, that is until Owl-Man presses a button on his utility belt.
He smiles, to the dismay of the guards.

A few seconds later, a car smashes into the side of the mansion, it's the Owl-Mobile.
It the perfect distraction for Owl-Man to shoot his grappling gun at the chandelier, and in one swift motion he pulls it down with all of his might.
The chandelier crushes the guards under it, it's non lethal, but a trip to the hospital will be needed.
The few guards that didn't get crushed got hit by the debris, so it doesnt take Owl-Man long to knock them all out with a single kick or punch.


"That's that dealt with."



Owl-Man walks through the mansion until he reaches Croc's office.
Batman prepares a few Owl-Arang's, a smoke bomb and his fists.
He opens the door but as soon as he does he hears a quiet *click*

And after a split second of panic, the room explodes, sending Owl-Man flying through the air.






Owl-man is lying on the floor.
There's holes in his suit, blood dripping from every pore in his body.
After a few seconds of wheezing, Owl-Man begins to slowly breathe.

He lies on the floor for minutes, slowly and painfully collecting himself.

When he gets to his feet, a loud *CRACK* is heard.
He steps around, dazed and confused.

"Need, to investigate... the-the"

He coughs up a bit of BLOOD

"Need to investigate the explosion."

He limps back into Croc's office, its burning, but the room is falling apart, the roof has been blasted off and the windows have shattered.
On the floor there is small fragments of casing.
The bomb used was C4, it was remotely set off by somebody.
That same somebody could be anywhere, in the mansion, a nearby rooftop, wherever.

Suddenly, a car is heard pulling up at the front of the mansion.
Owl-Man quickly limps up to a window.
There is only 1 car, a limo.
No doubt it has Croc inside, probably a few thugs aswell.
As Owl-Man begins to walk out of the mansion, he picks up a bullet from one of the guns magazines.
After picking up the bullet, he attaches it to his grappling gun.


"Owl-Man, COME OUT HERE NOW.
LETS PLAY A GAME.
HAVE SOME FUN."
Croc shouts from outside.
Owl-Man punches down the front door.

"I'm not in the mood for games, Croc."

"OH, no foreplay, sure i guess. Now come over here and let me rip you limb from limb!"

"Alright then, freak."

"Freak??? youre the one in an owl costu-."

Before Croc can even talk, OWl-Man fires his grappling gun.
The claw with the bullet attached tears through the skin of Croc like its paper.
After the claw is firmly in, and croc is bleeding and creaming, Owl-Man presses a button on the grappling gun, sending himself flying at Croc

As Owl-Man flies through the air at Croc, he extends his leg.


After the brutal kick, Croc's teeth go flying through the air.
And with a mighty *THUD*, Croc crashes to the floor.

Owl-Man then jumps onto Croc, holding his face down with his boot.

"Your empire is finished, Croc.
Tell me where the rest of your girls are, and get them off the streets."

"OK!
Just one issue, my best girl.
She's in the XWF currently, giving favours for money, money that i get a cut of obviously."

"The XWF, the wrestling company?"

"Yeah, but she wont be easy to bargain with, she's more than just a pretty face."

"I'll make her talk.
And very soon, you wont know what a pretty face even looks like."

Owl-Man stomps on Croc's head, knocking him out cold.

Owl-Man begins walking away towards the Owl-mobile.

"Alfred, im going on a little bit of a trip."

"No, dont worry, it wont take long."


"Ash Quinn, im getting people like you off of the street, whether you like it or not."
