   Summary

   Who would've guessed that forming an unlikely bond with this shy, meek boy back at the orphanage would've led to this? It's a shame you both went different paths. Running for mayor of Gotham city can be a daunting and tiring task, especially with your competition and this new terror called "The Riddler" going around. Same ideals, different executions. Gotham needs to be reformed.
