  "Who me? A bad boy? No way." He lifted himself off of her shoulder and leaned back up against the sink, looking at his caretaker for the night. "If anything, I would think you're the one who has the promiscuous thoughts."
He smirked, knowing he was flirting with her while she was talking about slings. "After all, you're the one taking off my shirt, massaging my back, and inviting me to sleep in your bed.... and by the way.. I really have no problem sleeping in your bed. I mean, so long as you sleep there too."

Emily sighed and looked over the unopened files in front of her. "Back home, if my organization needed to take out a MOS lab, it usually involved the lab getting caught doing something illegal so that it could be shut down, or a sort of super hero swat team going in and cleaning the lab out. That never took care of the entire organization though. They made sure to legally make it as though each lab was separate and anything "bad" that happened was the individual lab's fault." she said, then moved her fingers to swipe Vandal's file away. She moved some of the other files around until she had Richard Blackstone's file up, as well as "recently opened". "If... MOS had caused trouble and needed to have a project shut down, it was usually through Richard. His son had created the organization years ago, and after his death, Blackstone took over. The organization started out innocently enough at first, but became... lucrative as it went through different hands. Blackstone still funded it, and had control over what sort of projects were allowed to be made. A few labs, Richard shut down personally because of experiments that he did not agree with." she said, opening up Richard's file. "If... I would go about shutting down this Underground Exhibit... I would get as much information about it's inner running as I could first. Who's funding it, who's running it, and who can we get to help. I'm sure my universe isn't the only one that had a team that handles super villains and that sort of thing. I.... I would see about talking to Richard to see if he's involved with this at all, or if he knows who is. Or... talk to Cobblepot."

Edmond waved his hand again and a copy of the Underground Exhibit file popped up in front of him. He read through it again before responding to Emily. "This file shows that the underground Exhibit has a large tunnel system leading to other cities. There is little information about who funs it or who is in charge of it. Some things about a Charlemagne and Allure. The first Rosie may have known who they were but I lost her sometime after I escaped." Edmond literally mumbled the last sentence before he continued in a normal tone. "If Blackstone is anything like Cobblepot getting a meeting will be difficult. I can't go to him as Eric Monte and I can't go as Edmond Dantes. I would have to go as the count to see either of them. Cobblepot likely wouldn't tell me what I want to know. If Blackstone isn't involved he won't help much either." Edmond sat down in his desk chair leaving Emily to enjoy the entirety of the hologram. He had a lot to deal with. He still needed to go looks for Rosie's mother and time table wise that was the priority. Even after that, the Underground Exhibit was proving difficult for him to deal with alone. He preferred working alone it made things easy, but he may find himself needing aid from other heroes at which point he also drew a blank. sure they were all over the news but recently he seemed to have more luck finding villains. He needed to think.

"I think just pancakes would be enough. I eat what I can get to keep me going." Matt replied to the listed menu as he called back for the waiter.

Emily tried to search through the Underground Exhibit file, Blackstone, and the recently opened files. Trying to see if there was any hidden information or anything that might give updated documents of what they were looking for. "A meeting with Blackstone is difficult, especially if you go to him in costume. But... he's a bit easier to deal with than Cobblepot. Depending on what part of the timeline he's from... I can even go and talk to Blackstone." she said, then looked away from the screen. "I've seen people from different periods of time in this universe. I arrived in this universe... just after Blackstone had murdered me. If he came to this world before that night, I should be able to talk to him openly and easily. If he has nothing to do with this organization, then I'm sure he'll be interested in becoming involved." she said, then looked back up at the screen. "Charlemagne used to work for Blackstone... I may even be able to go down and talk to her, under the assumption that I'm working for Blackstone still. But, that would involve me actually going down there and assuming they'd want to talk to Blackstone.""Cobblepot, I could probably find a way to ask, but I'd need a reason to ask him. And it certainly wouldn't be something I could do tonight."

"None of this can be solved tonight. You need rest and I need to deal with the Joker. Given your relationship with Blackstone and the evident fact he can kill you, I can not ask you to deal with him. I will handle speaking with Blackstone. If you could ask Cobblepot whenever you have time that would be helpful." Edmond did not elaborate on how he planned to get a meeting with Blackstone because he had no real idea how he was going to do it. Everyone walked around some time and when they did there were plenty of ways to see them. He could simply monitor the traffic cameras looking for Blackstone. he did doubt it would be effective but it may work out. It had worked out before.

"That I can do." Emily replied. "I don't see anything in these files about where Blackstone would be located at right now. These all look like files from our world's time line. It's possible that Blackstone has been keeping very low key in this world. Which would make sense. If he accumulated the wealth he had in our world, it would be seemingly overnight. That would draw attention to himself. It's also possible that he hasn't met Cobblepot yet. Though, I doubt that will last long. The Lounge seems like a place he would go to." Then she looked down at the recently opened files. "It looks like his file had been opened and printed recently though. I'm not sure if it's a file Vandal Savage had wanted, but someone certainly wanted to take the information with them." she said, then looked at the other files. Her expression changed as another recently printed file caught her attention. She didn't bring it up or bring much attention to it though.

Edmond took out his phone a dialed a number. It seemed he would have to return to the Lounge and scout for Richard Blackstone. He couldn't do that tonight, tonight he had to deal with the clown. When he did do it he imagined a bow would be difficult to carry around. Fortunately he had place and order so a very different weapon a while ago. If anything he had been told that a prototype would be ready. He could easily hide them under normal suit. Edmond was about to make the call when he saw Emily's expression change. He felt at this point he had already been asking her questions and saw no reason to stop now. "What is it? What's wrong?" Edmond set his phone down and pulled his quiver over to his leg, doing another arrow check.

"It's... some of these other files that were recently printed. Blackstone's was one of them... as well as a crime lord from New York city, some events that happened a night or two ago, and... this." she said as she brought up a file titled "Sapphire Spider". The file had several attachments to it. Misty Gallay's personal file, super hero history, recent events involving her, and medical information and xrays. "I... I know this woman. Her file, as well as Blackstones was printed out the night before, and her file was printed out again earlier, along with these medical attachments." she said, her frown deepening. "The same time Vandal had come into the Lounge. In quite a hurry to meet with Cobblepot and obtain information and files." she continued.

Edmond looked over the files she had spoken about and then looked back at Emily "Are you worried Vandal intends to hurt her? More importantly would you like to do something about it?" As Edmond said this he turned his chair back so that he was facing Emily. She seemed concerned which was not something he often saw from her and it did leave him sightly curious as to why she was so worried. To be honest the detail in the file worried Edmond slightly. This was all from Cobblepot's computer. How did he get the information?

"I.... I don't know." she admitted, looking over the medical files. "I haven't seen Sapphire since we were both in our own world. She was a hero before Blackstone blackmailed her into working for him. That soon turned into marriage. I don't know what happened between him and her, or what has happened to her since coming to this world. I'm not sure if they would even be together still. From the looks of it, this other man has rescued her from outings it looks like." she said. "I don't... I don't think Vandal Savage had anything to do with it. It looks more like this Kingpin's doing. But... these medical files. If they're hers, then it looks as though she may be pregnant. Abnormally so." she said, then looked back at Edmond. "I'm not sure what should be done. It's... concerning that these files were all printed out the same time Vandal arrived in a hurry to acquire a folder full of information. I don't know why he wanted this information. And I can't just ask him about it after tonight. I would have an easier time trying to ask Cobblepot. Though... he usually makes a point about not getting too involved or asking too many questions on why information is bought."

"We should at least warn her that someone printed her file. Wether or not it was Vandal Savage she would be better off knowing someone was looking into her." Edmond said as he looked over at his phone again. He felt bad about leaving Rosie in the dark as to what was happening but he did not imagine she would take the news well that he had been sidetracked. He did tell her he would not have her mother back immediately but that didn't justify completely ignoring the fact her mother was with a madman. "Do you know where your friend is?"

"No, I didn't even know she was in this world. And this file doesn't give any location of where she could be." Emily replied. "The only thing I know to do to find out would be to ask Cobblepot or try to get a hold of Blackstone." She didn't have any way of checking the entire city as Edmond had. The most she had was her surveillance of the Iceberg Lounge and her sporadic bases. The only way she could think to find out Sapphire's location was through Blackstone or Cobblepot. Vandal was a definite no go.

"I can keep a lookout for her in Gotham using most of the security cameras around the city that I have access to but outside this city finding her becomes a little more difficult. As it stands I will be visiting Blackstone but we should not bring her up to him. Cobblepot is the safest solution because he has nothing to loose or gain by telling us where she is. If you ask he may tell you. If she pops up in Gotham I will tell you. Otherwise I have no way to find her. I am sorry." Edmond turned his phone over and began going through the various screens and save things he had.

Emily looked over the files one more time, then looked back at Edmond again. "Thank you. That's more than I'm able to do. And any little bit should help." she said, then began moving files around. "When you visit Blackstone, I don't recommend going to him as the Count. He may still talk to you, but he tends to be irritable and tight lipped around costumes." she added. "I'll see about asking Cobblepot tomorrow when I return to work. I'm sure he'll want to speak to me about what happened with Vandal any way."
