From Jim, who's sunken and shivering in the corner of the seat, there's no answer.

Up ahead, the bulky thing shifts, emitting a vast and terrifying groan. It's vaguely brown; not a colour that's at home in the steel-and-stone of Gotham City. Unfortunately, it's too big for Erin's spotlight to see what exactly it is; it's shrouded by the fog that's everywhere.

What she can see, though, is the way the ground cracks and splinters under the thing's movement, the way those cracks rapidly grow and multiply, racing directly towards the hovering car -- and beneath it, passing it to crackle up the side of the buildings all around.

Three buildings ahead, a wall shivers and falls, crashing unnaturally loudly in the silent streets.

Across the plaza, the same.

Right beside them, about to come down on top of them ...

...move quick, Erin.
