Blood Runs Thicker Than Water.

(Rais's room)

"Rais!" He hears a voice call out to him before a loud crash and screeching metal is heard followed by screaming. Rais screams and sits up with a sweat before breathing deeply "Ha, Ha, phew, Ha" he slowly gets out of his bed and walks over to his desk, where he sees a broken picture of him and his family but with him and his sister covered by the broken glass, Rais sets it down before grabbing his gear and going down to meet Luther and the others to see if he has another mission.

(Hideout, main level, Meeting room)

"Ah, BloodStain you're here... good, I got another job for you Rais nods and asks him to continue "This time your mission to drain away Bruce Wayne's fortune from his shell company's" Rais nods "So who's coming along" Luther smiles "just Punchline but you may encounter Catwoman too" Rais nods and leaves for the shell company with Punchline close behind.

(The shell company)

Rais and Punchline enter the company and make it to the main transfer area when Catwoman and Harley (Harley escaped before they did) show up and Harley immediately looks at Punchline "So your Jokers new girlfriend" Punchline laughs "No, I'm his partner" Rais just hacks into the system and begins transferring funds before turning around and scaring Harley and Selina, Rais looks at them "Well, well, well, a cat and a failed jester... your comedy is lacking" Catwoman recognises him "-BloodStain-" Harley charges at Punchline who doges at slashes at her face, Harley avoids but is then side kicked by Punchline and sent flying back. Rais laughs before seeing the transfer has finished "Misson's done, let's get out of here" Punchline nods and Rais blows the roof down which covers their escape before Harley and Catwoman can track them, the two then realise that BloodStain transferred the funds while Harley was busy with Punchline.

(Back at the hideout, (also this is a custom story not following the recent comics which introduced Punchline).

Rais laughs before grabbing a drink from the fridge "Well that was... boring" Punchline nods "Indeed, not much of a fight" Rais nods "Yeah, although you should have just stabbed her in the neck and been done with it but I don't mind people wanting to savour a kill for a later date" Punchline laughs "Thanks" Rais nods "I do it myself sometimes but other times I do what I did to Batgirl which is my most brutal show of force" Punchline looks at him with intrigue "So... why did you cripple her again" Rais looks at her with a grin on his face "Because, I've found that in war, you can terrify your enemies by being as brutal and unforgiving to both prisoners and soilders makes them more likely to surrender when they see you so you can't kill them at least not without breaking the Geneva Convention anyway" Punchline is shocked "You served in the military?" Rais nods "Yep, and it wasn't that bad... until... "that day" which I'm not going to discuss" Punchline nods and leaves while Rais drinks away while wondering "She seems quite receptive, probably why Joker was easily able to get her to work for him, hopefully she doesn't end up like the others, because that would be a waste of talent".

(The Batcave)

Batman looks for any record of Alan Rais but only finds fragments of information which don't make sense, he then looks for medical records and finds a peculiar entry which was deleted from his Arkham Asylum profile

(Deleted medical portion of Arkham Asylum Profile on Alan Rais or BloodStain)

Medical history: Alan has no early medical history aside from standard drugs like paracetamol or painkillers, but his adult records show he was heavily abusing Painkillers and antidepressants during his last year of military service, this has been linked to both PTSD and his PhyscoPathic Tendencies but he was only shown to have had an X-ray scan after an unconfirmed car accident on Miagani Island when he was 17 which resulted in him discovering his meta human abilities as a normal person would not have survived as the car that hit him was going roughly 70 miles an hour when it hit the side door of drivers side.

Known Family: (Data removed)

Other family: None.

(Batcave)

Batman wonders "Why would they remove his family from his profile and his medical history... unless they didn't and Rais bribed someone to remove it from existence" he begins searching for more information about his military service but finds nothing and deduces that he may have been part of a Black ops unit so files on him have probably been destroyed. He then looks for more information on the supposed car crash on Miagani Island but again only finds Fragments of information which is inconsistent and Batman wonders if Rais did the same here but does find mention of another passenger in the vehicle but the data is locked by the GCPD board, he heads to the GCPD to go and find out what happened to Alan Rais "that day".
