"Worse. There, even if the odds were against you, even if the system was against you, you weren't subjected to public rapes at the hands of the government because you have a line they drew on you."

Gotham is a hard knock city, but it recognises and rewards persistence.

"What I figured," he says, tensing at that. Thinking about Ronan and Noah and all they face and how much he wants to do all he can to protect them.

Chainsaw reacts to his emotions, screeching loudly next to his left ear. He doesn't so much as flinch at the sound, muffled as it was against that ear. Instead he reaches up, rubbing the back of her neck.

"I think about things like that every day," he admits, despite not bearing those marks. "My boyfriend and our good friend are both here. Both of them have that mark."

Riddler shies from the noise, like it actually hurts rather than being scared of it.

"You're not safe either," Riddler says quietly. "Write into any contract that you reserve sole right to punish your submissive," his lip twists on the word, "for any indiscretion or breach of rules and laws. It won't always work, but it should help."

"Sorry. She gets loud sometimes." It's why he carries her on the left, so he forgets how loud it is to others.

"I know. I've never been safe," he admits. "So I'm used to it." Ronan had thought he was. At least until he was a teenager. Noah had until he'd been murdered. "I'm not taking a lot of chances, just a few." Like a close friend and lover who was another Dominant.

He nods at that. "I put a clause in the contract like that. Someone said they wouldn't always but it's worth trying, right?

"It will stop things some of the time," he agreed. "I'll contact you if I come up with anything suitable for her. I have work in half an hour and I need to start off now to get to Insincerity before then."

"All we can do, I guess," he says with a nod, smiling as he takes a step back, giving Chainsaw a moment to resettle.

"Thank you. I appreciate you meeting with me and giving me ideas. She got snatched here too and I just want to make sure she's doing okay."

Of course she was manifested out of nothing but that's neither here nor there.

"I'll let you know." Riddler waves a hand. "When I have something. If I get something. In the mean time, ropes, knots, nuts and bolts." He stretches and starts off back towards the elevators.
