Play! (Zoe)
Jesse went home directly after his conversation with Dr Hank the polar bear. He didn't want to be in public when he changed, if it was going to happen. If he became something vicious and didn't have his own mind at first, he didn't want to hurt anybody. Even though Hank had seemed perfectly in control of himself, minus that talking bit, Jesse couldn't be certain that he would react the same way.

Of course, being who and what he was, he could likely stop all of it before it even happened, but he discovered that he sort of wanted to change into something else. He wanted to know what it was like. On top of that, he was curious to see what he was going to change into. Did the City pick the animal? Was it related to who he was as a person? If that was the case, then what did being a polar bear say about the doctor? Or was it all random?

It didn't really take long for him to find out. Jesse changed within the hour. It hurt, as Hank had warned him. But much worse than he'd been expecting. He supposed he'd imagined a slight discomfort, but this was like every inch of him was in extreme pain for a few moments. Moments that felt like hours. Then he was swamped in his own clothing and a good deal closer to the floor. He walked around the apartment a bit, getting used to the new form, realizing that he was a dog, before going into the bathroom and jumping up on the counter to see into the mirror.

He grinned at himself. The mottled black and tan coat. The blue eye and the brown eye gazing back at him. He supposed being a mutt was pretty fitting. He would have had a dog like this growing up, if the ancient hag Marie had allowed such a thing, or if his parents had lived and found a way out of that place. This was the kind of dog every boy dreamed of. A playful, happy looking animal.

There was an urge that he found familiar, and he went to satisfy it, but rememebered moments into the act that he no longer had pockets, or hands, which meant no smokes. No smoking. That was a bit of a downer.

Well, he'd just have to find something to occupy his time with, then.

After wrestling with the knob on the front door for a while, Jesse managed to get out of his condo, down the elevator, and out the front door with a strange look from the front desk girl and the doorman.

Running, tongue lolling out, Jesse ran to find the first person he thought of.

It had been a long day. She'd talked to Alfred about the capture of not the usual two but three hyenas. She'd told him to keep in touch with the zoo to see if the animals could be rehabilitated or whatever one did with animals that had been used by criminals. Then again, hyenas didn't seem all that given to the nicer ways of life; not that she saw anything wrong with it. They were just being themselves; she didn't see that the same could be said of all humans. There were some humans that just needed to be put down.

The Amazon had also talked to the great Bat butler/confidant about further weapons and armament. She had liked having the guns, even if they were loaded with tranquilizers. Of course, there was no telling how everyone would react to tranquilizers, but it had to be better than taking the chance of getting knocked around. It limited the odds perhaps...then again, those tranqs could be used against the Bat during battle.

Zoe was tired, emotionally more than physically. She'd actually had to do a little work in the Wayne Building; not that she didn't work, but there were some days she didn't see why Bruce really bothered. The business did seem to run itself. Whatever that business was; she was still trying to figure it out, and she was only security.

Being tired, she headed home to change into something comfortable before heading out the Park. She had thought of calling Jesse to see if he wanted to go for a walk, but she wasn't sure they were in that sort of...whatever it was they were in. So, rather than going for something that was truly comforting, she gave in to her more practical side and went with a simple jogging suit. If she couldn't walk with someone, she'd run on her own. Right? Of course, once she'd started running, she really didn't want to stop. It was the physical exertion she needed apparently. So, she might have ended up running a little longer than she first expected, but she didn't feel as she had when she started. She felt better. She was actually smiling.

Jesse tracked Zoe down not with his normal godly abilities, but with his new nose. He found her scent easily outside of the Wayne Building and followed it to her apartment. From there, he followed it to the park. When he saw her, he wagged his tail and started after her, catching up and then matching her stride while looking up at her and grinning in his new doggy like way.
