LEVEL ONE:
NEVERMORE
Nevermore.You are so fucking tired of being the good guy. You are so fucking tired of being the guy in the background who makes sure the
Real Heroes can have working spotlights. You are so FUCKING TIRED mof being the guy who cleans Batmans belt, the guy who takes Supermans clothes to the laundromat, and since Superman is a forgetful
fucking bastard, spend his
own goddamn money to clean his clothes and never gets paid back. You are SO FUCKING TIRED of being
that guy, the guy who makes sure other people can lead civilized FUCKING lives by making sure the
"real men" can do their goddamn job in their outfits, making sure they don't run about the city fighting crime and shit in their FUCKING UNDERWEAR.
Nevermore.This is the end. Merry fucking christmas. One present, from your girlfriend. You're pretty sure she's only with you out of pity. Deja fucking vu. You've done this before. This has been your life for the past 22 years. Well, minus the girlfriend. For six years you never got any presents at all.
Nevermore.Sure, you tried to partake of the "simple pleasures" of life. After all, you aren't homeless. You have a acceptable job running a small business selling office supplies. You make enough. But that's it. Enough. Where the fuck was karma? Years working in secret with the police, who never say thank you. You don't even get a free doughnut, for fucks sake. You're so fucking tired of this.
Nevermore.Six packages of tin foil. A set of extra small butchers knives and a month of secretive toil. You have a overcoat already; it's always rainy in this city. It's always horrible. Always dismal. When the sun peeks out from behind the clouds, it starts to cry and runs back to whatever hell spawned it. You are so fucking tired of being everyones doormat.
Never
Fucking
More. You're ready. Tonight you're going to make a difference. It isn't going to be easy. The law is going to come down on you hard, like you taught them to. They're going to use every trick you taught them. You were too good at your job. It's not going to be easy.
But you can't stay in this box anymore. Besides, you have a few unique abilities of your own. It's just a matter of remembering what they are.
