Prompt 23: Never show your hand...
Nov. 21st, 2009 07:38 pmEver heard of the Royal Flush Gang?
Maybe I've been in this business too long. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be my first thought with a prompt like that. Can't help it, I guess.
I've had a few run-ins with them. They're done now. This incarnation, at least. Ten and Jack have real jobs. The King and Queen are both in jail, and even if they get out, they won't be working together anymore. Ace was destroyed.
Really, I don't even think of most of them. I'm glad I don't have to deal with them anymore. It's not like Gotham's got any shortage of bad guys.
Sometimes I think about Ten, though. Things ended... badly with us. I'm pretty much okay with that.
But I still can't help wondering how things might have been different.
Not that it matters.
