Cold, Cold Heart (Part 3)

You take the elevator up. You contact Ethan.

"Hey, Oracle," you say.

"Yo. You know we can hear everything you say, right? Why are you praising Lady Shiva so much? She literally tried to kill you an hour ago," Ethan asks.

"She's hot," you respond, jokingly.

"Really? That's it?"

"No. She was the closest to killing me with skill alone. I'm just honoring her skill," you answer.

"Alright... So what did you want?" Ethan asks.

"I defeated one of Penguin's elites, his nephew Osprey. Alert the GCPD and let them know where I am, and make sure they have special suits to protect from subzero temperatures. Some floors have Cryo vapors, some don't," you explain.

"Alright. You about to face Mister Freeze, right?" Ethan asks.

"Yep. Him and the Penguin," you say. "Talk to you later."

The elevator dings, and the doors open. You walk out and hear voices ahead of you.

"That must be John," you hear Penguin say. "I expect you to honor our deal once this is over."

"Black Mask will die. You will have what you want," Fries said, coldly. You hear footsteps coming your way. You ready your grappling hook. You see the Penguin.

"John! What took you so long? Wait, you're not John- AAGH!!!" The penguin says, before you shoot your grappling hook at him, and pull him towards you. As he flies towards you, you extend your arm, and clothesline him, causing him to fall on his back. This caught Fries's attention.

"Cobblepot?" he asks.

You hear heavy footsteps. You look around and see some support beams near the ceiling. You launch your grappling hook and fly upwards. You look down and see Fries near Penguin. He then looks around.

"I take it this means you're here, Sentinel," Fries says and begins to walk around.

You look around and check the surrounding area. The room is quite large, with catwalks and various floors, balconies, and whatnot. You don't see Boyle at all, but you do see an elevator that leads to a higher floor. The doors seem stuck, staying open slightly. You thought this was the top floor... Fries began talking more.

"My fight is not with you Sentinel. This is your final warning. Leave now, or you will perish," Fries warns. He then walks over to the elevator and takes it up.

You glide down and begin to pry the door open. It takes immense strength, but you manage to do it. You go into the shaft. There's a grate at the bottom of the elevator, like on the other one. You slowly cast Flame Cloak. Once the green rune vanishes in front of you, flames erupt from the ground, covering you. You wait for the elevator to stop moving, before carefully reaching for your grappling hook, and using it to reach the grate on the elevator. You climb into the elevator and press the button to open the door, which is perfectly fine. Cryo vapors flood inside the elevator as you open it. Thankfully, the Flame Cloak protected you. You walk in and notice stairs that lead up to a platform. Other stairs lead to other floors with strange devices. The platform in the middle of the room was fine, with no cryo vapors. You also notice icicles that have formed on the roof, and some on the floor too. Hiding is gonna be hard since you're on fire. So you are gonna have to try a more direct approach. You slowly walk up the stairs, and see Fries facing Boyle (who was mostly frozen in ice) and a giant cryo pod, with Nora inside it.

"Please, Victor. I'll give you anything you want, just let me go," Boyle pleads.

"Give me the codes so I can leave with my wife," Fries demands.
