76,13 - Like a warped memory

[ Audio ]

I know Dick sent out the call already, but I'm asking again, nicely. If anyone at all is willing to help these people, please. Let us know. Keep in touch. We have to work together. If you don't want to help, just... be safe.

[ Private to All Friends ]

Please check in, whenever you can, often as you can. I don't want to lose anyone here. [ Not here, not like this. ]

[ Private to Wanda ]

Look, this... this isn't my Gotham. But the layout is pretty much the same, and I still have to help these people. You're welcome to come with me or go on your own, but I have to do this. I want you to check in, at least twice a day. Noon and midnight works. If you get in trouble I want you to get to the top of Wayne Tower. If you can't get to the top, hide near the bottom. If I don't hear from you I'll check on you there. Got that?

Me too. [Grumbles for a minute but then he thinks about what she said when it comes to looking at the brighter side of things.]

At least I go them back when it counts, right? [Looks down at his communication device reading over Tim's instructions and then he looks at her.]

Lead the way.

[ And out goes the grapnel gun again. ]

Here's your warning.

[ And she's off. ]

[Quickly hops out the window after her.] Just wait until I figure out the layout of the city.

You still won't be able to keep up with me.

That sounds like a challenge.

More like a promise. Tim wants us at the Bowery. Up for some gang violence?

Noted. [Grins at her.] When you put it that way, how can I say no? Tim warned me about some of the thugs taking the Titan drug enhancer. If they have, leave them to me.

Won't catch me arguing there. I'll run distraction and interference.

[Grows more serious.] I know that you know what you're doing and have already proven as much, but be careful, okay?

Yeah yeah yeah. [ Sorry Supreboy, she doesn't really do 'careful'. ]

It's not like I've never taken on superpowered thugs twice my size before.

I don't doubt it. [Catches up with her.] It's just this place is really chaotic and dangerous...yeah, please?

I'll be careful. I promise. [ For whatever that's worth. ]

Thanks. [He'll take it, it's better than nothing! Once they arrive at the Bowery, he comes to a halt.] I'll scan for any of the big guys.

Get any structural weaknesses while you're at it.

[ She has explosives. ]

From what I can tell--LOOK OUT! [Doesn't get a chance to finish scanning the buildings surrounding them, because a titan infused thug goes barreling through a wall. The titan charges at Superboy and tackles him with enough momentum to carry them several yards away.

Several gang members step out through the opening that was created and look around. Their attention immediately shifts to Steph.]

[ Steph rolls out of the way and comes up facing the other gangsters with a grin. ]

What, having a party and you didn't invite us?

[ And then she springs into action amongst them, kicking men in the guts, tripping them, socking them in the jaw, and generally attacking three different people at any given time. Ohyes. ]

St--Batgirl! [Glances past the titan to check on her. Steph looks like she's having herself a grand old time. Any relief he feels is quickly washed away when the titan begins to pummel him in the face.

Ow.Ow.Ow.OW.

Okay, time to focus on himself because he's the one who is in trouble here. As the titan prepares to deliver a crushing blow, Superboy catches his fist and the ground beneath him shoots upwards to slam a pillar of rock into the titan's gut.]

You want my attention? You've got it!

I'm fine! [ She doesn't dare check on him because hello, outnumbered 6 to 1, but she trusts him. He can handle this. ]

These little boys are just amateurs.

[ Which was provocation enough for one to pull a gun, which promptly goes flying through the air far from anyone's reach. ]

Seriously? I mean really, seriously? What part of 'Batgirl' don't you guys understand?

[Knocks the titan off of him. Superboy is surprised by how nimble the creature is, despite it's size and weight. It charges at him a couple of more times and doesn't trip like he's expecting.

While he's duking it would with the creature, he can hear the titan's heartbeat go faster and faster.]

Stop! [Catches it by the fist and slams it into the ground.]

I think this guy's going to have a heart attack if he doesn't slow down!

Slow down, you say?

[ Three thugs down, she manages to turn and toss a batarang at the giant, which explodes with a mixture that produces a block of ice around the target. ]

That work?

Uh, yeah, that works just fine.

[The only being that looks more surprised than him is the titan. The look of surprise on his face turns into a grin.]

Light's out time for this guy and the rest of them.

[Thanks to the handy-dandy batarange, he has time to charge up a large concussive telekinesis blast. Nails the titan with enough force to break the ice and send him hurtling into the three remaining thugs. The titan lets out a massive groan before it goes unconscious.]

[ She lets out a long breath. ]

Think that's all of them?

I want to say yes but there's probably more around here somewhere. [Dusts himself off and moves over to her. Rests his hand on her shoulder and looks her over.]

How are you holding up? [Has a small grin on his face.] And yes, I'm aware that I'm the one who got pummeled in the face while you were taking those guys out.

I'm not worried, mister Invulnerable. I'm doing okay, mostly running on adrenaline. Could go for some coffee. [ She rolls her shoulder to work out a kink. ]

Where to next...?

I'm going to study the body of the thug who ingested the titan serum and then report what I find to Tim. You should get some rest because when that adrenaline goes poof...you're going to crash. Hard.

I promise there'll be coffee when you wake up.
