Dr. Strange was working away in his study of his large mansion. It was on the outskirts of town and most people did not even though it was there. The house of Dr. Strange was large and had many rooms filled with magical artifacts and tomes. Dr. Strange began to think aloud, "It's been awhile sense I've had visitors." He was expecting a friend over, but not even the Sorcerer knew who exactly was coming. |

"Shouldn't be far. Isn't much of a place to hide, since there ain't much out here. Should be within ten miles from here." Rorschach still stood, despite Dr. Strange's request, and walked up to the ball. He looked deep into it. |

Rorscach saw a large building, possibly a warehouse, with the little girl in the center of the image. She was strapped to a chair that looked like it came out of a nightmare; there were spiked rings around the ankles, wrists...and neck. While she was strapped in securely, the spiked rings were not yet digging into her ankles, wrists and neck. There were no marks there, either, so the spiked rings haven't been tightened...yet. Datum was standing there at the edge of the image, the automatic pistol pointed at her, although he himself was looking at something outside of the range of the image. His tie was currently black. He stood completely unmoving, waiting for something. Occasionally, in his off-hand, he tossed a small remote of some sort up and down. |

Rorschach's spotted mask continued to rotate through different, seemingly random shapes as he looked at the little girl. He seemed to become engulfed in the image that was set before him. "A trap... in more ways than one." He turned around quickly and began to walk away. Before he exited the room through the window, he turned his head and tipped his hat in gratitude to Dr. Strange. Then he opened the window and walked off toward where he saw the warehouse. He had seen it before, when he first came to the city, and he kicked himself for not checking it before. |

"Hey, now I'm intrigued, so I'm coming with you," Doctor Strange said. He recovered the orb and locked the door. He jumped out the window and followed at a good pace. |

Rorschach came up to the locked door of the warehouse. Pulling a screwdriver out of his pocket, he skillfully unlatched all of the mechanics in the handle by sinking it into the edge and ripping it out. Reaching his hand into the inside, he opened the door with no trouble. Looking into the darkness of the room, he stepped inside, being very careful for any traps or tripwires. Making sure there were no obstacles, he continued into the darkness of the warehouse. |

Soon after Rorschach entered the warehouse, many of the lights suspended far up, on the ceiling, flared back to life. Some simply did not turn on, others were missing. The warehouse, however, was still sufficiently lit, if a bit shadowy. Datum and his hostage were standing in the center of a large clearing, with clusters of crates in the rest of the warehouse. "Welcome, Rorschach! You found me much faster than I thought you would...that's worth a merit. Wouldn't you agree?" he commented joyously, turning to the girl to direct the question at her. She could not respond, however, since she was gagged. Datum turned to face Rorschach again. "Now, I've studied you a bit...and I want to know just how resourceful you are," he said, tossing the remote up and down in his off-hand. He lifted the automatic pistol and pointed it straight at Rorschach. "So here's a challenge...defeat the villain and rescue the girl...in the crates in this warehouse are crowbars, planks and other non-mechanical knick-knacks. This remote I'm holding controls the happy little chair here...there are five buttons corresponding to each ankle, each wrist and her neck," he held up the remote, and there were, indeed five buttons, conveniently labeled, although difficult to read at that distance. "Now, there are rules for this experiment...you cannot disarm me of the remote. It's quite a fragile thing, and the chair is wired so that if it stops receiving a passive signal from the remote, it will kill her. If you take the remote without damaging it, it won't do you any good anyway...the release button is on the chair and needs a special key," he said while walking over to the chair, and gesturing at a button and keyhole on the side. "You also can't do anything to the chair...it's covered in sensors and if any of them detect more than a casual touch, it will kill her. If you defeat me, I will tell you where the key is and leave. The key is secured enough to give me time to escape, and if you try to prevent my escape, I will press the neck button and the chair will kill her..." he explained, hovering a finger very close to the relevant button. "Oh, and your friend here can't use magic to find the key...you should know why by now. Remember, you're being timed...begin!" he announced, then quickly placed the remote on his belt and activated his jetpack, flying up to the top of a pile of crates and unleashing a small burst of bullets at Rorschach, though he couldn't aim it well while flying.

Rorschach quickly ducked to the left and down behind a stack of crates as Datum unleashed a large barrage of bullets from his little repeater. He looked over to the side and smashed the bottom of his fist into the crate beside him. Inside there were many bottles of whiskey. He pulled one out and kept moving behind the boxes. In no time he was able to create a very crude malatov cocktail. He lit the end of it and threw it straight for the crate Datum was standing on. Without seeing whether or not it hit, he kept diving behind crates, moving as fast as he could. |

As the molotov cocktail came towards him, Datum activated the jetpack again and flew off the create right before it was blown up. "Excellent work! You know, I see no reason why we can't have a nice chat while I'm testing you...Walter. You see, I've studied you, along with anyone of note in this city who I thought could help you...took a couple days, but it was worth it...I'm surprised you brought Dr. Strange along!" he chatted, occasionally punctuating his speech with a burst of bullets, running and hopping from crate to crate. For just a moment, the staccato swarms of bullets ceased, as Datum quickly got out a clip to reload his pistol. "I know exactly how long the human body can last...according to my calculations, including the fact I can use a jetpack when my legs get tired, I'm going to be able to outlast you in this fight, so you should pick up the pace!" he taunted. As he talked, however, his off-hand picked a flashbang grenade hanging from his belt, popped the ring out and held down the handle. Just a moment before he threw it, he fired another burst of bullets towards Walter, and threw the grenade at where he would take cover. |

As Datum stopped to reload his gun, Rorschach quickly popped up from the crate, and shot his grappling gun straight for Datum's foot, attempting to hook his ankle and pull him down. Rorschach did not even pay attention to the flash grenade as he threw it, he simply picked up the first crate he could get his hands on and lunged it straight for Datum as he darted over from crate to crate. As he neared Datum, he ripped the top off of one of the crates, nails and all, and swiped it straight for Datum, aiming the edge straight for Datum's gun arm.

Doctor Strange thought to himself Well this is a wily fellow, unfortunatly, he is not aware of my full repertoire. Doctor Strange then concentrated on the chair, "Foolish fellow, lets see what you can do about this!" Doctor Strange the transformed the chair into an ordinary chair. "Hold on my dear, I'll be right with you." |

Datum hopped up once he saw Rorschach holding a gun, and he appeared to be relieved it was just a grappling gun, now missing because he had jumped. "Excellent..." he commented. He blinked twice after Rorschach simply shrugged off the flashbang, though this was hidden by his helmet. "Marvelous!" he exclaimed, even as he jetted to the side. Once Rorschach got up close, Datum lifted one arm, and let the board hit it, the nails breaking off as they hit the tough armor. "Ow...you're doing very well, so far. You might even win..." Datum said. However, his tie changed color, becoming a furious red when he saw what Doctor Strange did to the chair. "You've gotten the reward without accomplishing the objective...that's the very definition of cheating, Doctor Strange...I can't let you leave without a slap on the wrist," he said in a chilling voice. He used the jetpack to jump right over Rorschach, and, while in the air, lobbed a pair of full fragmentation grenades towards Doctor Strange, following up with a full automatic burst from his pistol, emptying an entire clip in his direction. |

As Datum went up and over Rorschach, the dark hero picked up a bottle of the same liquor, and threw it straight for Datum's jet pack, aiming directly for the fires that propelled him off the ground. With that done he ran and jumped off of one of the crates, attempting to grab hold of Datum's lower legs, trying to wreck his flight pattern itself. "Kurrrmm!" |

Seeing the fellow flying towards him with grenades, Doctor Strange quickly put up an energy shield to protect himself and the girl from the blast. |

Hitting a moving target with an improvised weapon is not easy; the whiskey bottle slammed into the back of Datum's legs, soaking them in whiskey. However, Datum couldn't wear non-flameproof clothing with a jetpack, so all that happened was a few licks of flame from the whiskey itself burning off, leaving some unsightly stains on the pants. But when Rorschach grabbed onto Datum's legs, they both fell to the ground, the jetpack unable to support their weight and cutting off. "Ah, blast! You're quite resourceful..." he commented as he shoved Rorschach away and got up. "Well, it seems with Dr. Strange around it will be more difficult to test you, Walter...I'll have something for you later," Datum said. He reloaded his pistol again - can't be too cautious - and ran towards the exit, reactivating the jetpack as he neared the door and flying away, over the buildings. |

"Get the girl out..." Rorschach said to Dr. Strange as he got to his feet and rushed to the door where Datum made his escape. "Thanks for the help." He turned and tipped his hat, then bolted out. He made note of where the bastard was going. Rorschach wasn't willing to give the assailant his freedom so easily. With that, he disappeared into the night. |
