Reina and Pain

Reina has a clear sight of the building from her binoculars, gazing over its sleek and shiny one-way windows layered across the building with various patios signaling its role as a hotel, a beautiful one at that, compared to the destroyed and rotting away homes and businesses in the less funded districts behind it. "Outlook hotel, eh? Wonder what Ms. Vale is doing in a place like that?" Reina questions aloud.

Pain, who was sitting to the side and filing her nails lets out a small yet slightly sarcastic hmm before saying, "Probably has some boy toy who works for this 'Checkmate' organization, She probably gets a bed if she keeps someone else's warm, You know?" Pain says, glancing slightly at Reina who continues to look through her binoculars.

"In any case, It looks like it'll be quite the mission to smash and grab a Zorra out of there." Reina goes onto say as she looks over the sizable security force surrounding the high rise hotel, She then pulls down her binoculars and turns towards Pain, "Has security ever been this serious in Gotham?" Reina asks along with raising a curious eyebrow.

Pain, who has spent most of her time working in and out of Gotham then says, "Not really, while security was still an issue back in the day when Harley and the Joker were a pair and costumed freaks chased them down, The city of Gotham still did strive for somewhat normalcy, but ever since the Joker went insane and launched a god damn apocalypse on the whole world which then ended up changing Gotham into a warzone, and now a lot of the criminal underground has an opportunity to rise up and make a name for themselves since Batman's dead. Most security companies or any group as a matter of fact aren't willing to take any more risks." Pain finishes up her mini-history lesson of the recent events of Gotham and part of the world.

"Guess that also means that some secret organizations are a lot more willing to make themselves known," Reina says as she looks back at the hotel and sees some soldiers wearing the chess piece emblem, marching around the building in an almost patrol like manner. "Y'know, The more I look at it, What would an organization like Checkmate be doing in the middle of Gotham, going so far as to take over an entire hotel and have their Soldados marching around in broad daylight, protecting Ms. Vale is one thing, but going so far as they are, seems a little strange to me, and my boss is a horny clown for god sake." Reina says before hopping down from the edge and takes a seat next to Pain, who continues to file her nails. "So who's this contact we're waiting for?" Reina asks.

"Someone from my older days when I was but a rising bud in the criminal underground slave market." Pain explains.

Reina turns her head in confusion mixed in with a little curiosity as she then says, "Are they trustworthy?"

Pain then takes a moment to think before saying, "They're as trustworthy as you or I am."

"*Chuckle* That doesn't fill me with confidence." Reina says with a chuckle as a black van rolls up next to them.
