POV GENERAL)
Elias returned it to his grip and pulled a card out his pocket reading a street he had required from a friend and turned his head around finding the street signs. Reading New Gotham Criminal Avenue seeing the title momentarily scoffed at its childish naming sense unaware he's being followed. Once Elias began to traverse the city of Gotham did he feel something inside him a warmth his felt three other times. All times when a creature has learned to willingly trust him. Feeling this warmth Elias knew what came next a change.
This change could be simple or complex but all Elias know's is that it came with his Avatar's blessing of the Red. With each creature that's tamed, brought into the briefcase, and most of all has a trust or respect built up even a small one can Elias gain an ability native towards that creature. That is how Elias has been able to use fire and acid and now 'Enhanced senses' everything changed from his sense of taste to feel as he felt the air shift with each drop momentarily clouding Elias' senses.
Feeling the change Elias placed a hand on his head dealing or at least attempting to deal with the change covering his already masked face. Hiding his pain that soon left him and in its place a new ability. "I can hear you breathing. Show yourself." Spoke Elias as his venom soaked demeanor changed as a new threat emerged with a soft snicker and flip a man showed himself.
The man wore a domino mask over his face as his body was covered in a blue and black jumpsuit on his back where twin baton's used to incapacitate opponents. "So the bird has ears? That's new." The man chirped this man Elias knew well as the Batman's first protege Dick Grayson the first Robin and now Nightwing. "What do you want?" Asked Elias in a dry manner clearly not in the mood after his headache.
"Woah calm it chirpy. I just wanted to know what you wanted from that store so much?" Hearing the reason Elias didn't even bother defending himself summoning flame as he spoke "You wouldn't understand." Seeing the immediate danger Nightwing jumped to the side catapulting himself off a trashcan utilizing his acrobatic prowess landing to Elias side hitting his side.
The hit felt strong but nothing compared to the pain he once suffered from a gunshot. Elias stepped back up throwing his own blow yet was early dodged and countered by Nightwing. "Too slow!" Called the crusader knocking Elias backward once knocked back Nightwing threw his baton towards the wall causing its trajectory to bounce off knocking the case out of Elias' hand. "No!" He called out confusing Nightwing giving the case a momentary glance Nightwing wondered "What's inside?!" Thinking it to be weapon's Nightwing's goal changed to recovery of the briefcase infuriating Elias.
Then a race began for the case Elias was closer yet Nightwing still bested him as he squarely knocked him away with a simple kick to the side. With his back hit to the side Elias grunted after impact showing his pain, but his pain worsened at the sight of Nightwing opening the box screaming "No! Don't harm Him!" Hearing the claim Nightwing confused asked "Hurt Him" lost focus as a blade, an Imp, and a flaming tail jumped out the case followed by teddy's head. Nightwing shocked at seeing the blade backflipped away dropping the case as the Blade and flaming tail appeared causing Nightwing to drop the case causing its forced closure on Teddy.
Seeing this another rule played out in Elias' head if someone other than him opened the case those inside have the chance to escape and destroy what they liked however they liked. However Elias wasn't scared of the latter but of the former as the three creatures that jumped out. Were ones that shared a bond with Elias each for different reasons. "Don't hurt the boss!" Called out in a chirpy tone followed by a snotty tone "Yeah what Tuno said!" And then a simple bark followed sounding oddly like a sizzling flame "Char!!"
Nightwing when landed was flabbergasted what stood before him was an oddball for sure. The first voice that spoke was a simple fur ball with red piercing eyes and a blade the size of a small sword protruded out its head. The second creature smaller than the others seemed to be humanoid yet its size and wings betrayed those thoughts. And finally the most bizarre was a small reptile with a tail on fire that didn't seem to bother it at all.
Elias seeing the familiar figures of Charmander, Tunomon, and the Sylph he named Sappy had ventured out of his case into the world. Thinking it to be a trick Nightwing ran forward ignoring the creatures aiming only for Elias. Tunomon seeing the attempt jumped forward blade pointed screaming "Leave boss alone!" Hearing the announced attack Nightwing easily dodged and continued forward as Charmander began to fire a flamethrower again easily dodged.
Sappy the Sylph only had the power of flight so she couldn't form an attack besides a punch that couldn't be felt. Simply was knocked away by Nightwing after passing the three Nightwing pinned Elias down asking "What are they? And who are you?" Nightwing's demands were simple yet were ignored as Elias called out to them "Get back inside now!" Hearing his anger and anguish the creatures looked to him in fear yet complied.
The sight was odd as Charmander a flame breathing reptile opened the latches and opened the case letting Tunomon after a second glance in first followed by Sappy and then Charmander who closed it back upon entry. Seeing the peculiar sight Nightwing asked again more furiously "Who are You!" Yet again was ignored as a golden sigil was form under Elias. Seeing the familiar attack Nightwing jumped off and was fooled as the sigil was canceled. Seeing his opportunity Elias ran for his case gripping its handle and activating the ability Sappy had given him as the power of flight.
Seeing the wingless man suddenly fly away Nightwing didn't let up and began jumping from each side of the alley slowly catching up to the levitating plague doctor. Who successfully made it to the top of the building. Once atop Elias disabled Sappy's power as it was a slow form of flight as it barely brought him off the ground unblessed forced. And now he was tired from it so he went to his next best option. Running.
From rooftop to the next Elias and Nightwing played cat and mouse with the cat slowly closing in as Elias had weak stats as he never received any sort of power from his God. Except for this ability of sharing and right now Elias knew Nightwing wouldn't share his insight after his store robbery that's why he attempted to run. Leading towards this moment. However in a stroke of unadulterated luck a screen showered over Gotham city taking Nightwing's attention.
The projection was a simple message of the Riddler laughing maniacally as he showcased five hostages in five separate split screen saying "You know the game Dark Knight! Solve the riddle or they die! Hahahaha!" With that the video cut short leaving only a riddle in its wake. "What has a face but no head. hands without arms. And a body yet no organs." Nightwing knew the answer but refocused on the task at hand capturing Elias yet the target had vanished.
"Damn!" Was all that was said while Elias caught his breath trying to calm himself from battered breath and anger towards the creatures in his charge. 'Deep breaths" Elias tried calming down yet the anger stayed until his head turned seeing that Nightwing lost his trail. With the cat away the mice will stay with Elias catching his breath against a lamp post with the street sign "New Gotham Dao Drive" seeing the sign Elias recalled his card and brought it back out of his pocket as he stared at his briefcase staring in anger. Then towards the card seeing the street name being Dao Drive. Elias then looked up and momentarily thanked Nightwing and slapping himself for the thought.
After coming to terms with himself Elias stood up and patted his legs from the drizzle with his left hand while his right contained his briefcase. And walked down the street until the address was reached being an old auto repair shop in China Town Gotham. At the garage down Elias followed the instructions he was given before his time in Gotham and knocked on the garage door in three serpent knocks at four different paces. It was an annoying process to learn but the skill was acquired and the garage door opened revealing an empty room with only a chair in the center.
Seeing and believing were two separate things when Elias was told of this informant he didn't believe the rumors that circulated around his psyche even though his daily life would force ordinaries to go crazy with talking furry heads and fire breathing reptiles. Yet Elias followed his instructions and walked towards the chair sat on it and placed his briefcase over his lap.
A minute passed, then two, and then three. Time seemed to pass and Elias' courage wained as the said procedure never occurred until suddenly. A hole opening below the very chair he sat upon creating a small pitfall slash roller coaster with the chair being the only seatbelt he had. The fall was quick yet dangerous as sparks off the railings and the chair itself echoed down the corridor. And with a hastened but quick stop. The chair stopped infant of an old Dectom 64 with a black container attached to its bottom and attached to that was a clear pipe.
With the skidded stop of the chair the Dictum 64 glowed to life with a blurred image of a man with spectacles over his eyes and wore a simple business shirt while his bottom torso was hidden within the screen his voice was clearly heard "How do you know of this place!?" Accused Noah Kuttler known by his villain codename the Caculator. Shocked but not scared Elias looked to the visible camera over the Dectom 64 and said a name "….." Hearing the name Calculator asked "And why would he help you?" Elias remained silent letting Calculator form his own conclusions that began to spun until Elias spoke.
"He said your favor is due." Hearing that the Calculator sparked a curious glance at Elias and asked "And what is it you want? You are here in his stead are you not?" Hearing it Elias simply nodded keeping their conversation to the bare minimal and spoke his goals for the most ruthless information broker within the this world. "I want information regarding mysterious happens around the world nothing is to be overlooked." Hearing the demand Calculator asked a question that would obviously turn up from this being "Why haven't you done so yourself?" Hearing this Elias sighed and revealed more then he should've "Due to my ineptness in technology and when regarding to my search I require your services." Hearing this enlarged Calculators ego and then asked again "And what sort of thing requires my greatness?"
Hearing this Elias chose to choose his next words carefully "I want Mysterious happenings that involve unforeseen Meta's, energy spikes, and or disturbances of the like." Hearing the request the Calculator bore an inquisitive expression and asked "And the form of payment?" Elias confused questioned "Doesn't the favor force you to provide me knowledge?" Hearing this demand The Calculator seemed angered and yelled back "No it barely scratches the surface if anything I'll only give you one placemat for this information request of yours!" Silence then seamed into the room Elias was about to argue or rebuttal but "Then again if you do simple favor's for me I'll reveal things to you of course."
Hearing this Elias frowned from the insides of his mask however with the Calculator's experience in negotiation he said that Elias had given in and the pressed a button on. His side activating the pipe located under both his Dectom 64 and black box. The pipe began to suction the air from the other end revealing an approaching black object that was brought into the black box and once it arrived the box itself opened revealing a flip phone inside. "This is what we'll use to contact each other. Now in support of this business relationship I'll be generous and provide you a free piece of information through this phone. However after that You'll start owning me favor's understand?"
Hearing this Elias scoffed confirming he'd work with him under these conditions for now until he finds another source to use. feeling his victory brighten his day The Calculator forgot a question and asked before the ending of this meeting "and what is it I should address my new 'customer.'" Hearing this bile built up in Elias wanting to bad mouth him, but regarding the future chose against him revealing the title he was given beside the Avatar " Arcavalon."
Hearing his title announced filled Elias with dread as it was a sign he was accepting this new reality as his own. "I see charmed I'm sure. There a motel called Chang Yao's three blocks away she knows your coming room and food will be provided there for now." With that without goodbye The Calculator disconnected his call and the chair began to slowly levitate back too its starting position leaving Elias to his thoughts of what he just put into place.
