[ The bridges fall and Bane's men spread out across the city, seeping into every single one of Gotham's cracks along with his elevated rhetoric. The rich fall, the poor rise up and the neighborhoods splinter into this territory and that; new overlords are installed here and there, some better and some worse than their genteel predecessors. Selina Kyle's territory remains, for the most part, untouched; whether that's the power of rumor and hearsay, or simply the way things work on her watch, nobody can really say. But it works, way better than anywhere else in Gotham — which is why MP shows up on her doorstep in the first place.

What he's doing here, he doesn't really know. Some neighborhoods have enforcers, some kingpins have muscle. Whether Selina needs either of these things is anyone's guess, but he's strong, a little stupid, and takes orders well. Shoving his hands into his pockets he looks at her, shoulders hunched awkwardly. ]

They say this here's y'block.

[ selina hasn't had to do too much work to secure her own section of the city; not many people were eager to stay in old town when they now had the entire city to roam. she'd debated finding somewhere new herself, but stepping into every new place felt too impersonal, like she was trying to fit into the remains of a life someone else had built for themselves and had to leave hastily behind, and while stealing is what she does it had just left a bad taste in her mouth. so she'd stayed in her apartment, letting younger versions of holly and herself stay when they needed somewhere safe to sleep and making sure things in her part of town didn't get to the level of chaos that she considered out of hand. part of it feels good; it's not escape but it's something she's made on her own.

a knock comes to the door and she takes her time answering it. she can't see everything from the window above her front door, but while looks as if he could be threatening and not as if he'd be out of place among bane's men, his stance as he waits seems expectant and eager. she comes to the door with a knife tucked carefully away anyway, just in case. ]

They're correct. What do you want?
