    LONG HALLOWEEN
    A Seasonal Story of Gotham
    [​IMG]


    Driving, Gotham, Late Night

    The Commissioner's face was weary, and every wrinkle and sign of age was highlighted by the wash of neon lights that Gotham spat out. His glasses reflected the city around him, masking his eyes to any that would look at him.

    There was a buzz from his coat pocket as his cellphone burst to life. He pulled it out, answering it with a simple "Gordon speaking."

    "Chief, we gotta double homicide in Park Row. We need you over here. Sendin' the address to ya phone." the voice, identified by Gordon as Harvey Bullock, informed.

    The Commissioner sighed, and hung up the phone. Park Row. It had history, but gone to waste in recent years. He flicked a switch, the police sirens on his car began to shriek, and he dashed towards his destination.

    Above, Not so long after...

    The darkness shrouded the Knight as he kept watch over Gotham. In the distance, the Bat Signal lit up the sky, directing him towards Park Row.

    The Commissioner needed him. He leapt forth, allowing the night to guide him as he swam through the skies, watching Gotham bustle with life below him...

    Elsewhere...

    A smile in the darkness, illuminated by an orange hue, etching out every one of his grimacing features.

    It would be a night of fear for Gotham.

    A Long Halloween.

    Prologue...


    The syringe emptied its amber contents into the patient, as their pupils dilated and a look of horror spread across their face. The masked beast smiled behind his grime visage. The features, from the perspective of the patient, quickly turned into writhing maggots, and twisting wrinkles.

    Everything darkened, and only fear remained.

    A hiss spat forth from the doctor.

    "What a satisfying conclusion..." he cackled, the 'mouth' of his mask spreading wide.

    "My little lab rat..." He crooned, before the patient began writhing and foaming at the mouth.

    The demon frowned, and stepped back.

    "Perhaps not..."

    He turned around, looking back at his lab table.

    "But soon, I'll have the final formula..."

    The hideous Dr. Crane returned to his work, but he couldn't help but laugh. He had his funding, and he would show them, and show this 'Batman' that he was not the only one to be feared in Gotham...

    [​IMG]

    REAL NAME:

    AGE: 22
    HEIGHT: 1.66cm (5’5”) WEIGHT: 47kg (104 lbs) EYES: Brown HAIR: Black
    APPEARANCE:
    [​IMG]


    ABILITIES: Trained from birth in the arts of stealth, infiltration, gymnastics, acrobatics and martial arts.
    EQUIPMENT: Ultralight/ultrathin frictionless costume, Batarangs, Batline grappling/swingline, comlink, miniature smoke/stun grenades

    BIO: Cassandra (“Cassie”) was born in Hong Kong 1998 to a Chinese woman who was raped by a US sailor in port the year before. It was the last party before the territory was handed back to China by the British. Unwanted by her mother, Cassie was sold to a traveling circus. They named her Yuyan, and as she showed natural agility, she was trained from childhood in acrobatics. Unfortunately, the circus was also linked to a criminal gang.

    Yuyan was “requisitioned” by the Black Dragon triads, and trained to work as a thief for the gangsters. She proved good at it, her agility and gymnastic skills enabling her to penetrate secure buildings and repeatedly evade arrest. This saved her from a life of forced prostitution.

    The murderous triads regarded her only as a tool. She was used, abused, and suffered a loveless life. In her spare time, she became an amateur but tenacious detective, gradually tracing clues to her past. She finally tracked down her mother and demanded an explanation. The mother explained what had happened and pleaded forgiveness. She gave Yuyan a photo of herself taken with the father, before the night had gone bad with too much alcohol. This was the only connection Yuyan had to her true identity.

    When the triads decided to infiltrate the US, Yuyan was sent to their new base in Gotham City’s Chinatown, and took the English name, Cassandra – or Cassie. The gang quickly established themselves with a string of violent crimes. Cassie was used to steal industrial or military secrets from various high-security facilities, and Black Dragon sold these to the highest bidders back in China. When Ronald Cain, a prominent Republican senator, was lobbying hard for hawkish sanctions against China, a request was made for his “disposal”. This would be Black Dragon’s most daring, high-profile crime yet. They decided to send Cassie, this time as an assassin. When she researched her target, she recognised him from her old photo, looked up his past career in the US Navy. Cassie realised Cain was her father. On the night of the planned hit, she instead decided talk to him. The conversation did not go as she planned. Cain wanted nothing to do with her.

    During the emotional confrontation, Cain secretly alerted his security and they managed to surprise and capture Cassie. The GCPD had been after a Black Dragon member for some time and leant hard on her to turn state’s evidence so they could take down the whole gang. She refused, saying they would not be able to protect her from retribution. In her mind, she was already dead.

    There was only one person who could protect her and convince her to do the right thing: Batman.

    Cassie was taken to a “secret and secure location” and placed under Batman’s supervision. Of course, Black Dragon found it and a battle between their members and Batman ensued. Cassie escaped into the Gotham night. It became a race for who would find her first, a race Batman won.

    Where no-one had stood up for Cassie her entire life, Batman did, and he won her undying loyalty. Once Black Dragon was finally defeated, as well as going into the witness protection programme as a university student, Cassie decided she also wanted to work for him. Her skills were already formidable, but with additional training and equipment, she became Batgirl
