Steel looked at him a moment, then sat up to try to stand. Much easier to do than she thought it would be. It was like nothing had happened.
Alcina soon reappeared outside Riddler's cell, and glanced back in at him. "Sorry. Needed to do something."
//sorry is short. Writers block...//

Flash stood up with her, ready to catch her if she stumbled or lost her balance. Luckily, she seemed like she was as good as new. "Okay... I've got to go round up the people I let out before my friends find out and skin me alive," he told her conversationally, "Do you want to come with, or do you want me to drop you off somewhere?" He just sort of assumed that she wouldn't want to stay in Arkham; she'd DIED in there, for crying out loud.

"I've made upgrades to myself, but I'm still afreaid I'd only slow you down. And I don't know of any other places to go. Murder World..." she started before suddenly stopping. Now that she actually had a chance to think about it, she had no idea what happened. There was just a sudden explosion and Murder World was completely destroyed.

"You wouldn't slow me down any more than Batman does," Flash pointed out. "Oh, come on; it'll be fun! Like an Easter egg hunt! ... But... with... homicidal maniacs instead of eggs." He was sort of wondering whether or not to tell her about the whole upgrade option. ... Very awkward. He'd just leave it alone for the time being.

"Alright. I'll try to help you as much as I can." Steel replied, fairly excited now. She hadn't been anywhere other than Murder World. She was finally going to get a chance to explore. A chance to learn.

Flash grinned, obviously cheered by her growing enthusiasm. "Allllright! Let's. Hunt. Some. LOONY TUNES!" Scooping her up, he shot up into the main part of the asylum, past Alcina and Riddler... Then he zipped back, and said to each person respectively, "Thanks a bunch and... Sorry ... about your face? ... and... torso...?" He stood there looking awkward for another fraction of a second, still cradling Spider as he tried to think of a way to make the sentence sound better. Unfortunately, within that fraction of a second, he lost interest, and zipped out into the dark streets of Gotham. This was going to be EPIC.
{Exit Flash to Gotham}

Alcina gave Flash a small grin. "Have fun." she replied telepathically to him...knowing that he'd probably be gone before the words had a chance to come out of her mouth.
After a second of thought, Steel wanted to ask just what exactly Easter eggs were. Or, would the better question be what were Easters? So much to learn.
Unfortunately, he had already scooped her up and bolted out of the building before she had a chance to ask. Even when he stopped in front of the woman, whom she guessed was the magic woman Flash had mentioned before, he moved too fast for her to ask.
EXIT Steel Spider to Gotham.

The Riddler looked not at all surprised at the whole ordeal. "Making people's dreams come true, are we?" In fact, he looked almost as if he'd been expecting it. In a way, he had; he knew she had come because of the Flash, and had only started paying attention to him because he had started talking to her before the Fastest Man Alive had. Her appearance had made it clear that she could use magic, and when the Scarlet Speedster thanked her, he immediately put two and two together.

Her appearance had made it clear that she could use magic, and when the Scarlet Speedster thanked her, he immediately put two and two together.
When the guards finally arrived on the scene, which had happened while Alcina and the Flash had been with Steel Spider, they took note of all the missing inmates. There was a simultanoeus feeling of relief and fear amongst them, and both feelings stemmed from the same source: some of the most dangerous people they had to watch over were gone. Relief, because they no longer had to fear for their own lives. Fear, because now everyone else DID. When Dr. Arkham recieved the final list, among the various names were:
The Great White Shark, real name Warren White
The Mad Hatter, real name Jervis Tetch
Mister Freeze, real name Victor Fries
Prometheus, real name unknown
They had been fortunate, in a way: Bane (real name unknown), Victor Zsasz, the Penguin (real name Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot), Maximillian Zeus, Calendar Man (real name Julian Gregory Day), Killer Croc (real name Waylon Jones), and the Tally Man (real name unknown), among others, had all been retained. However, if another incident like this happened again, chances were that they'd end up loosing more of the more dangerous inmates. Somehow, they had also gotten Two-Face (real name Harvey Dent) back, so there was another blessing.

"I tend to prefer to make others happy." Alcina replied with a small smile.

"Ah, yes. That's an admirable trait, to be sure," Riddler said, "But I must admit, there's something to be said about looking out for number one when the situation calls for it."

The corners of Alcina's smile fell very slightly. "Of course. I suppose it just depends on the situation." she replied. And how far one takes it...
Though, she looked after herself quite a few times. All of the little...flings she's had in the past, as much as she'd like to think were for others, was mainly for herself.

The Riddler's smile grew slightly, in contrast to hers. "Something wrong? Did I hit a little close to home there?" He already knew the answer; her expression gave it away.

"Oh, there's just been quite a bit of 'looking out for number one' going on recently." Alcina replied.

"Hasn't there?" Nigna asked with a small chuckle. "So, other than my staggering good looks, any particular reason you decided to stick around?"
