Silver Nightmare delivers her ultimatum to all crime families at once
After arriving in Gotham Helena grabbed a suite at the Royal Hotel. After finding someplace suitable to store her special items she began hunting. It didn't take her long to hear about the Silver Nightmare, the description she heard was otherworldly and terrifying, someone that had a vendetta against the Falcones. Someone she hoped she could work with. Her hunt at first centered around finding out who was responsible for her families death. After several days of researching online and interrogating she discovered the identity of the person who hired the assassin, Santo Cassamento leader of the Cassamento family. The Cassamento family was formerly one of the Five Families. They fell on hard times and was absorbed into the Falcone crime family. Santo died shortly after she began attending boarding school in Switzerland. She raged for days knowing she couldn't get her revenge. She decided to end the mafia once and for all. Starting with those in Gotham.
Orime in one of her many disguises overheard about a meeting to take place between all the crime families. She contacted Akahara the leader of the Yakuza. "I heard of the meeting between all the crime families. I will be going in your place. I will not need anyone. Focus your efforts on completing the goals per my father's reorganization."
Three days later the head of every crime family plus one guard were in a room. Orime listened to them arguing. She said nothing. Carmine turned to her. "What are the Yakuza planning to do about this Silver Nightmare." Orime stood up. "I am so glad you asked. I have been in direct contact with Silver Nightmare. They passed a message to me to pass along to all of you. This is their message verbatim. There will be no more innocent deaths period. Drive-bys will get your family wiped out, no matter what. Falcones your days are numbered, you have no hope. Figure out a better way to kill your targets that don't put innocents at risk. If you can't expect to be wiped out."
Carmine pulled his gun. "I want to talk to this Silver Nightmare right fucking now!" Orime walked up to Carmine. "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Carmine." She kneed Carmine in the groin. "You don't have the authority or the power anymore to order them around. You never had the authority or the power me around." She then pulled out a Wakizashi and cut Carmine's gun hand off. She picked up his hand as he recoiled from the shock and then the pain. "I'll be keeping this." She dangles the hand. "Anyone else interested in threatening the Princess of the Yakuza and the Daughter of the Bat?" Everyone else backed off. "Good. Now go tell your people what the Silver Nightmare said and pray your people are not stupid enough to defy them. You have seen how quickly they dismantled the Maronis and soon the Falcones."
Helena was watching the meeting from a rooftop. She was more than a little impressed.
Orime sat down holding Carmine's hand like a trophy or a pet. "I will mail you your rings." She hollered to Carmine as he left clutching his stump. She texted Akahara, I want to know who Carmine sees about his impromptu hand amputation. Akahara replied back in the affirmative. Orime watched as everyone left. She took the rings off the hand one by one, she examined each ring as she took it off. "Trash. Just like him." She started a fire and threw the hand and rings in. She made her way back to Carmine's home and changed into her Louisa disguise. She silently rehearsed what she was going to say and do when Carmine came home with one less hand.
