Damien smiled at Naia "Keep your valuables close to you and don't touch the water" Damien stepped through the portal and emerged in a dark alleyway in downtown Gotham City. He checked around to make sure nobody was watching then walked out onto the main street that the alleyway ran off. Damien couldn't believe his eyes, he was stood in the actual Gotham City; it was as dark with the same 50s noir feel that it had in the comic books and in the cartoons.

Naia hurried up to Damien, once she emerged into Gotham City, she was suddenly hyper-aware of how bright her costume was. 'Well this is just great,' she thought to herself.
As she stepped up next to Damien, his words processed in her mind. "Hang on, what's wrong with the water?"

"Evil corporations and super villains alike have dumped various toxic chemicals into the rivers of Gotham. So there could be anything from acids to the Scarecrow's hallucinogenic formula in those waters" Damien started to walk towards a nearby monorail platform. "Hopefully there's an alternative water source to the rivers, otherwise we're going to be facing some very mental disturbed individuals"

"Perhaps we should find the local reservoir first, that's where the drinking water would come from." Naia suggested.

"That's certainly a possibility" Damien examined the route maps for the monorail. "Now there's Gotham Reservoir, Gotham Water Treatment plant, Wayne Enterprises, Wayne Manor, Gotham City Police Department and that's about it for handy locations; unless we can see anything useful from Gotham City Observatory"

Naia looked from Damien to the map, "I'd like to check the reservoir quickly if that's okay. With my powers, I don't want to accidentally infect anyone."

"I understand" Damien led the way up the four flights of stairs onto the overhead platform then when the monorail arrived found them two seats to sit on next to each other. "Seems like the monorail is a free to ride for all people" Damien looked around cautiously at the huddled masses of Gotham City; the city always seemed to be suffering from economic problems despite the best efforts of Bruce Wayne and his billionaire friends.

Naia sat rather self-consciously next to Damien, "So if you don't mind me asking, what can you do?"

"Me right now? Nothing any more at for the time being unfortunately" Damien slyly showed Naia the pendant he was wearing. "This keeps me being all nice and normal. I guess what I really bring is some knowledge of this Universe and the people who live here" Damien tilted his head as he overheard some snippets of conversation from two women sat in front of them. "My husband is glued to the television watching the news. He says this man called Bane has released the Arkham inmates" "Aren't you worried about it Doris?" "Of course not Betty. That's why Gotham City has Batman" Damien sat back in his seat and ran a shaky hand over his brow. "This is not good at all" After a few minutes they arrived at the monorail station closest to the reservoir and motioned for Naia to go first.

Naia got off the monorail and waited for Damien, "I take it they're pretty bad people?" she asked, meaning the conversation they had overheard.
