Well, hello future mother-in-law.

"Can I help you?"

"Spying on all of us, huh?" Ghoul did his best to smile. At least he knew his conversations in the freezer were safe. Inque wouldn’t go in there as she was now. "Come on, business is business. You want to learn more about her, be my guest. But you want to know my rates?"

Inque would gladly be trying to learn more about that one and whatever secret she was hiding from the world. "Fine. What are your rates?" She slid away from his neck and onto the side of his bed, back into the form where her face could be seen.

Far from it. Catalina was a means to and end and certainly a good way to keep moving forward. However, there was something else he was hoping to get. With any luck, he’d manage to find the biggest paydirt imaginable. “That won’t be necessary. Besides, you don’t need to bug a patient CEO like her.”

"I've snuck in here a couple times. I can easily find ways to hide where... no one expects me. Sometimes, you two seem to speak like you know something that only you two know. Why is that then, Ghoul? Maybe she's a little more than a CEO. I may have to visit her after her release."

"Water sure. I can maybe do more than just that too. You just need to give me some time and resources. And right now, I’m working slowly" he added. Still, he shivered feeling the icy cool liquid wrap around the back of his neck. Inque wasn’t like the other people who would end up here. There was no easy way to contain her and she could easily slip in if she wanted.

"I’ll need a piece of you so I can study it. Then I can work on giving you more than just water immunity. And it’ll need to wait a while. I’m working on another gig soon and it’ll be beneficial for me in the long run. Maybe even you too. I’m sure you’ll understand, right?

Inque listened to him carefully and chuckled. "Oh, right. You've taken a liking to an inmate in here. You're doing Catalina a favor? You know, if I don't get that mutagen in due time, I might just have to... make a scene." She pointed out, tightening herself around his neck for a second for emphasis.

"So you need me to whip up what made you you?" he asked. "I thought you knew that well. Or do you need me to change things up." However what surprised him was something she said. "You plan on giving Batman the same treatment you went through?"

"You actually think I want someone else to have the capabilities that I have?" She scoffed, sliding some ink around Ghoul's neck in a threatening manor. "I know the main mutagen ingredients. I need some upgrades. Some immunity to water would be helpful. Are you going to help or not?"

"I’ve been known to cook from time to time" Ghoul chuckled as he leaned back. It was good to see his clients returns, especially as high profile as Inque. "I think that sounds fair. Hope you don’t mind keeping to the shadows for now. So…what are you in the market for today?"

Her inky form slid around Ghoul, running over his shoulders as she went to his other side. "I'm always in the shadows." She reminded him. "I need a copy of the mutagen that made me the way I am. Batman is getting smarter. I need it for encounters."

"Nice to see you too. Any reason you broke into Arkham?"

"I'm here for your help. I've heard your quite the chemist." Inque easily slipped into the form where her face couldn't be seen and slid around to the other side of the cell to appear next to him. "I want a favor. I scratch your back and you... well... can't physically scratch mine, but you know the expression."
