There was something to be said at least for how consistent Gotham City is, even flung through time and awaiting the Titans coming to get her back, Ravager has not had too bad a time trying to navigate the streets and stay out of trouble. Though, she didn't avoid the attention of the new Batman indefinitely.

"I swear up and down I'm not here to cause you any trouble," Her legs dangle from where she sits on the half wall dividing the gazebo and the pouring sky. Unfortunately Gotham's gloomy weather patterns had also held. "Hell I'd love to clean some up while I'm here, you looking for any help, Bats?"

@fksleep sent: "I like you. You're scary though. " for Tatsuo Yamashiro

she couldn't argue with that-- while gotham had it's fair share of frightening figures, most of them didn't wield the sword containing their late husband's soul. go figure. still, she couldn't muster up a smile or chuckle, only an unamused raise of her eyebrows beneath her mask.

' should i dress like a bat to be more approachable? '

| @fksleep what’s it like over there?

“ a lot brighter. ” it's a joke. mostly. it was true metropolis was a lot lighter than neo gotham, a shining beacon casting shadows from across the bay. “ why do you ask ? thinking about making the move ? ” manicured nails press an earring through a pierced ear. “ hate to burst your 'the grass is greener on the other side' bubble, mister mcginnis, but there are a lot of crazies in metropolis, too. ” she would know. she was one of them.

“ but if you're ever in the mood for a visit. ” she turns in her chair [CARMEN in bold, white letters written across the back] to look to him. “ you can always stay with me. ” she punctuates her point with a wink.

❛ i’ll get over it. i just need to be dramatic first. ❜ from @fksleep various things spoken in an adventuring party part 2 || accepting!

Artemis' clear shock is evident behind her mask, though her surprise is hidden behind an expression of harshness quickly enough. It is not often they have what appear to be boom tubes appear in Gotham City, and she only knows a few people allied with her who would create them. But none so openly.

She had been avoiding a particular looking thug in hopes of slipping away quietly, but there would be no chance of that now with such a loud bang and a tunnel of light emitting a stranger behind her. She had blinked at the words, but refocused herself and slowly draws her sword from behind her back. Her ears prick and she can hear the heavy steps of the thug against stone.

She leaps out and her hand whips outwards and she clanks the person on the side of their head with the dull side of her blade, watching as they crumble to a heap. Her gaze immediately switches back to the unknown stranger who had appeared, eyes glinting.

❝ Boom tube not your normal way of travel? ❞ she asks, an edge to her voice. She steps forward, back into the darkness of the alley so she's not seen in the openness of the street. She has not re-sheathed her sword, for if there was ever one thing Crusher Crock ever taught his daughters, it was to never leave themselves defenceless, especially to the unknown.

2 and #3…?

Atieno can't help but be .. a bit pleased. Is it a tad indulgent to enjoy such a sight? Perhaps, they are opting to roll with it for now.

"Well, that's certainly a way to make an impression...it's appreciated but truly you making yourself a bit known is good enough for an acquaintanceship at least." A bit formal, but hey - making introductions can be an interesting experience now and then.

" You ever just want to ring the old geezer by his neck and drag him out of the cave? " unprompted.

"I agree that Bruce needs to leave his cave more often, but less so when it comes to the dragging part." He knows what Terry means, though. Sometimes, it feels like nothing short of physically overwhelming Bruce will unstick his arse from the Batcave chair. "Do you have any ideas that don't involve violence? Because I would be happy to assist if that's the case." / @fksleep

"He's the don's second cousin. Not removed, though I guess Falcone thinks he should'a been."

Mary took a quick, darting draw on her cigarette and then turned her face away to exhale the thin line of smoke, half nicotine and half warm breath in the cold air. She could feel the weather prickling at her tear ducts.

"He owns—" She paused to gesture with the glowing tip. One warehouse, two, three. "—All those. Took them over two weeks ago, fresh off the boat." A dark little laugh. The towering buildings were lit up, even this late at night, hives of activity along the waterfront; Mary could hear the sound of machinery and men over the lapping blackwater against the concrete.

"If I tell you any more, what's in it for me?"

“You’re not a monster.”

          A PAUSE LINGERS IN THE AIR, SILENCE LOUDER THAN ANY OTHER SOUND IN THE ROOM;     SHE PROCESSES HIS WORDS, TASTING THEM LIKE A BITTER SHOT, TILTING HER HEAD JUST EVER SO.

Non-verbal Angst || Accepting !!

It isn't often the Raven finds herself in such bad shape, normally very equipped for combat situations, but this was one of the very unfortunate scenarios where she was on the other end of a beating.

Luckily; she wasn't taken out with a bullet, she was able enough to make sure she wasn't the one who got flatlined. Upon being asked what she needed, she takes an inhale & holds it as she stands herself up, Masuyo would've been worse for wear if she had cybernetics, & she's thankful for that.

❝ Nothing. ❞

For a fee; Gideon could fix her up, surely. If not, then she'll just go to the hospital, she could afford it. Besides, if she was going to make a name for herself as the Raven; then she couldn't look weak.

❝ - I can walk it off. ❞

Miles would take care of her when she got home, she knew that.

"I can't say the words out loud, I don't use bad language."

Zora tilted their head a bit in interest. They could be prone to a bit of bad language themself but it was clear that in this situation they had to be a bit more cautious.

"Sounds like there must have been some rather foul language if you can't repeat them. The things that people are capable of saying and doing to each other is really.. astounding I guess.

Any particular reason they were using that kind of language."
