[Edward Nygma is in the mayor’s office, sitting in the mayor’s chair. Mitchell’s usual desk tag is conspicuously missing from the view of the camera. He broadcasts this breaking news to the Network first, and so far there has not been any media coverage coming from City Hall.

Eddie leans forward towards the camera just a touch.]

Mitchell Hundred is missing. Contact was initially attempted sixty-eight minutes ago and has been consistent ever since. He has yet to respond to any attempt of communication. I don’t need to tell you, Network, how highly unorthodox such behavior is for Mayor Hundred, and logically we are treating this as an emergency. We’ve yet to acquire substantial, palpable evidence indicating a port-out or a kidnapping, but the fact that any effort to contact him has thus failed rather suggests harrowing possibilities. We must now resort to more dramatic maneuvers.

The available details are as follows: at four-twenty this afternoon, Mitchell had suffered from a minor concussion while overseeing reconstruction in Times Square. He was briefly hospitalized and then returned to Gracie Manor shortly after his release. His last contact was made at Gracie Manor. He is now physically missing from Gracie Manor.

[Eddie inclines his head slightly, his eyes never leaving the camera view. He draws back his shoulders.]

With a heavy heart, I must now resume the responsibility of acting Mayor until our efforts to retrieve Mitchell Hundred are fulfilled.

[And then he smirks.]

Mayor Nygma, signing off.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ dryly: ] Let me know when we start erecting question mark-shaped monuments.

You'll be the first citizen informed.

I'll be sure to do my best to care.

But seriously, congratulations aside, I need to ask you something.

Goodness, that was quick. But I suppose I'm keen to flex my mayoral muscle, so I'll humor you.

What is is?

It's probably not what you're thinking.

[ a little beat. then: ] You used to work with Dr. E, right? Like, as her sponsor or something.

Angelica. Yes. She was one of the first involved in my regrettable reformation program.

[ plainly: ]

How crazy is she still?

Mr. Ward, you know I have no professional quality to speak on her mental health any longer.

Whatever, I don't care about that. I'm asking for a personal opinion here. Because let's face it, there's nobody better to ask at this point.

[A long, heavy beat.]

Angelica is a woman of great resource and capability, and she is entirely sadistic between both qualities. To say she's delusional is perhaps a compliment, comparatively.

So reasoning is probably out of the question? Great. Now all I need is a handbook on how to deal with superpowered psychos.

Perhaps you should outsource the responsibility?

[ almost immediately: ]

No. This is personal.

Want a job?

Does it involve raccoons and/or having my ego crushed by you?

Yeah. And it doesn't really pay.

Somehow, I'm not surprised.

What is it?

My intern.

[ wryly: ] Great. Now I can add "intern" to my resume, along with Satan spawn and cult baby.

[ but he's not saying no. ]

One actually has a skill set.

Hey, being Satan spawn comes with plenty of skills. Most of them just suck and don't generally apply to daily life.

Whatever. I want my first coffee at 9:13 tomorrow.

[ dryly: ]

9:13. Right. Sugar and cream?

Extra sugar.

[There's a male voice off camera, and she looks up and away from the screen for a moment.]

Mm. Hold on. Gotta take care of the guy you're replacing.

Wait, are you firing--

[ welp, too late. derp. ]
