Batman Reborn

Pay-Back
It was yet another dark evening in Gotham City, 2039. The sun had
already faded into darkness, as the moon shone brightly above the city.
Skyscrapers of all sizes and shapes towered above the citizens below. There
were the usual sounds of industrial work and police sirens being around all
around the city, usually accompanied by a few gunshots and the sounds of
glass breaking. But, a mysterious vigilante would soon begin his brutal and
unprecedented war on Gotham City at the striking of the clock at midnight.
The first of his bizarre attacks would commence at the Vreeland
Oakland Hotel, a majestic hotel on the 9th Level of Gotham, one of the higher
levels to the city. The Vreeland Hotel was a pretty tall and well-built hotel,
holding up twenty floors and often the temporarily home for some of
Gothams finest citizens on business trips.
The lobby was the largest area of the hotel, serving as the general
meeting place for the hotel. There was a huge sculpture of a man raising his
hand in victory about thirty feet long in the middle of a fountain. There were
also some areas filled with chairs and sofas with janitor robots vacuuming
through the polished floors.
Manning the front desk in the lobby was a young man dressed in a red
bell boy uniform. There was a credit cash card register next to him. He was
impatiently sitting at the desk, tapping his fingers on the table as time went
by.
And, the boss said that working overtime would pay off in the end, he
grumbled angrily.
