Summary
Every door out had always led into the next trap.
Every trap had simply been the catalyst for the next institution to step in and claim ownership of his mind, then body, then humanity.
At nine, he believed he could outsmart the trap if he just kept his head down long enough.
At fifteen, he knowingly stepped into the trap for debt free knowledge, shelter and a way out of foster care.
At twenty-three, he was building himself his own trap out of ledgers.
At twenty-five, Amanda Waller looked at him and saw nothing worth trapping left.Author's Note:

Summary
Gotham had always known what to do with things that bled.
It named them. Filmed them. Feared them. Worshipped them. Sold them to the highest bidder before the blood was dry.When a man in white came to stop the bleeding, Gotham called him Angel.
Batman called him a variable.
Oracle called him a pattern.
Nightwing called him cold.
Robin called him annoying.
None of them called him Eric until much later.And when they finally did, Amanda Waller remembered that she had called him asset first.
Author's Note:
