Rico blinked his eyes open groggily as he woke up. Then his eyes shot open as he remembered he had a boulder dropped on him. Which actually knocked him out. But that also meant Batman had gotten the better of him. Which would likely mean the punishment for that failed main quest was active. Perhaps he did a bit too much monologuing, he pulled a rookie villain move. How stupid.
He first looked around and assessed where he was and what was going on. At the moment he was in the back of a moving vehicle. It was shaking as it moved. His arms and legs were harnessed to the table he was on. He could feel a new collar around his neck. But this one was plastic instead of metal. Probably something to limit his abilities, he did stop hiding them so they probably suspect him of being a Meta.
So he was a prisoner in the back of a transport. He looked around and saw prisoners in chains on seats on either side of him. They all had outfits from Blackgate prison. While at the back were a pair of federal agents in full tactical gear. He was still in the clothes that Eva gave him.
"Hello there!" Rico called over to the guards as the vehicle rocked. "Do you mind explaining what is going on?" Rico asked as he leaned up slightly. Waking some of the sleeping prisoners and catching the guards attention.
"You are being transported to an alternate prison. Since Blackgate has a backdoor into what we are now calling the Gotham Underground, we can not trust it to keep all of its prisoners. So all of the prisoners are being moved to three different prisons-" One of the federal guards explained.
"Four, you forgot about the ones that were put in the unmarked vehicles." His fellow guard pointed out getting what Rico could only assume was an annoyed look. "Sorry." The guard apologized.
"As I was saying. Being moved to three different prisons. There were some being moved to Arkham Asylum. Then there are some being transported to Iron Heights to serve their sentence there. Then there is you and a bunch of other meatheads. It was decided you would all be moved to Stryker's Island. Just in case you tried to break out of prison. We would be sure that you would not make it far." The guard informed him.
Stryker's Island was the prison in Metropolis. So it made sense why they would be sending a bunch of people that were stronger than average. Superman would make sure they would not be able to escape prison if they tried.
But there was a problem, he was being moved to prison when he did not even know his crime. There was no evidence of his crime. He had been kidnapped from Blackgate for no reason. There was a lot a lawyer could do with that. Forget staying in prison he could make a hefty profit for his troubles.
He just needs the right lawyer. Which is part of what the others were doing. He would check up on that next. But as he was lost in thought a stack of clothes, a black jumpsuit like the other Blackgate prisoners had on. "You will still wear blackgate prison uniforms. Can't have you mixing with the Stryker's Island prisoners now can we." One of the federal guards pointed out.
Rico sighed as he used his Eagle Vision and saw that they were still moving through the city. No where close to the prison yet. So he closed his eyes and focused on the system.
[Failed Main Mission:
Win against Batman!
Reward: 2 Legendary Raffle Voucher, Telekinesis.
Punishment Upon Failure: Back to Prison!]
[New Main Mission:
Walk out of Stryker's Island!
Reward: Freedom!
Punishment: Stay in prison.]
Interestingly there would be no actual reward this time. He supposed that was an effect of having filed the previous mission. But he also did not get any other missions or hidden rewards during the time of his two weeks as a slave. So perhaps there were requirements and exceptions to the rule of reward for each mission or task. For now he should focus on what he can do with his system at the moment.

He had some Legendary Raffles so he could do those. He also had a bunch more points. He could probably even condense a few things. Maybe he should try something with the Nature Mysticism. Especially since he is in Superman's neck of the woods.
Maybe he could do something with the store. As he looked at it he realized that it had unlocked so many things. He could purchase everything from a pair of underwear to legendary abilities. But those cost in the thousands. So he was nowhere near that level yet. There was also a new division in the store called System Functions.
It mostly had vouchers, a lot of which he had seen. The cheapest of which was the common rank raffle voucher worth 20 points. While the cost of raffles were multiplied by five each time they went up a rank. So he could not even purchase a rare raffle voucher.
Then there were the additional functions. There were many. Some of which he could definitely use but only three of them were within any budget he could purchase.
There was the first one: Map, it allowed him to make a system based map and have functions within that assisted him with moving around like marking locations or tracking targets. But those cost extra and the function itself was already costing 300 points so maybe not yet.
The second one: Living Space, allowed him to have his own private dimension. It would also allow his Harem to live in the space as well. But for now it would just be a small shack worth 400 points and not worth it.
The third one: Workshop, allowed him to combine things. Like for instance he could combine a pair of items to make a new item. Or he could do it with a pair of abilities and combine them into a new one. If he purchased it for 200 hundred points he would only be able to work with anything common rank and below. But that was it.
After a few minutes of consideration he decided to hold off on purchasing any of them until he had more points. But for now he would just buy a voucher that he was curious what it would do. Especially since it lacked any proper explanation.

Now when should he use it?
