I thought I was going to drown.
I could see nothing as the light left my vision and I was thrashing in the pitch black as the grip on my ankle held fast. I wasn’t able to shake it and, when I felt fingers adjusting their hold on me, I knew Arthur had found me already.
If his plan was just to kill me in the water, he was going to achieve it. I was woefully underprepared for a scenario like this.
Just at the point where I was seriously starting to panic, I heard a rushing in my ears and it felt like the water fell away from me, like my feet were now standing on something solid. I still didn’t dare take a breath until there was a pat on my back.
“Take a lungful. I’m not interested in you being a corpse.”

I had to get out of here.
Swinging like meat on a hook was not on my to-do list today so I did the only thing I could and started moving my legs to get some momentum. Higher and higher, I swung until I grabbed onto one of the hooks and started trying to use the point to saw the ropes.
It took me so long to even get some fraying on it but I lost my grip halfway through and ended up spinning as I fell away from the hook. My sawing had done enough though because the rope unravelled with my weight pulling against it and I hit the carpeted floor hard. I landed on my left wrist and there was a sharp pain up my forearm but I didn’t think I’d broken it.
I tried pushing up using my left hand and there was a grating feeling in my bones as I got to my feet but I was okay. I was alive.
There should be more crossover comics featuring both Jim Corrigan (Spectre) and Jason Blood (Etrigan), simply for the reason they look absolutely the f*cking same..And have basically the same fashion sense too…I want some confusion…
*Also if The Riddler got himself a grey streak, he could join them, to make the guessing even harder..
