hiding away (Dinah)
Jennifer had successfully managed to keep herself out of the sightlines of her superiors for the duration of the werecreature issues. She had managed to not go outside for more than a couple of minutes at a time, and had happily kept herself from being bitten during those times. It was a win win situation for her.

Especially when her boss had come down to tell her what a great job she'd done.

Who was she to tell him she'd done exactly nothing? That she'd actually disobeyed orders and not gone out looking for roaming polar bears and giant fucking chickens? She'd just smiled and said thank you, and hoped that that would be the end of it. If she never heard about this outbreak again in her life it would be too soon.

Of course, during all of it, she'd seen not hide nor hair of her partner. Which made her wonder and worry more than a little bit. Had he gotten caught up in all of it? Was he just out being Charlie? Was it, maybe, a little bit of both?

Before she could really get into the depths of wondering and pick up her phone to try to call him, her intercom buzzed.

"Yes?" Had this been there before? Had it ever been used previously? It seemed like such an outdated thing. Jennifer was pretty sure that it hadn't even been a part of the phone system. Usually people just knocked on her office door or sent an email. Or called.

"You have a visitor." Came the falsely cheery voice of the woman currently manning the front desk.

"Alright." She paused. "Send them in." She didn't mean to sound snarky about it. But why ask permission now to admit a stranger when it'd never been an issue before. How many people had just walked right through the station to find her previously? Maybe that thing with the crazy woman had gotten folk to beef up the security. She could only hope.

Jennifer kept her eyes on the door while she waited for her guest.

Dinah had chosen to go in the front door instead of the window. Knocking on police officer's windows was more of a Bat thing anyway. For that matter, she had opted for civilian clothes instead of one of her crimefighting costumes. She didn't have a secret identity to protect, so it seemed more sensible that way.

When she was buzzed in, Dinah made her way in the direction the receptionist had indicated for Jennifer's desk. She found the brunette fairly easily. Luckily, it was later in the evening so the station had cleared out somewhat. Dinah could only hope that that meant they wouldn't be overheard.

She stopped in front of Jennifer's desk, smiling a little bit at the woman who had put her job on the line for Jake. Dinah still wasn't sure how to convey her gratitude for that particular matter.

"Hi Jennifer," Dinah greeted her. Dinah waited for hopefully the glimmer of recognition, or perhaps a look of confusion if Jennifer perhaps didn't recognize her out of context. After all, last time she had been in her Black Canary costume in a meeting full of people.

She was kind of glad that the other desk in the moderate office was empty right now. This was not a thing she wanted to have to explain to Charlie. Oh, not because he wouldn't understand it. But because he'd understand it all too well and there would be all kinds of praise or something that she'd stood behind her beliefs instead of strictly sticking to the law.

A thing that she'd been used to doing back home, that standing behind what she thought was right, but wasn't quite used to doing here. She'd been so upright with procedure and sticking to what was in the books because she hadn't wanted to get into trouble, hadn't wanted to ruffle feathers. But that had all changed. Recently. Not with helping Jake, before that.

"Bl...Dinah." Jennifer stood. She was surprised to see this face here. It caused a wave of panic, actually. "Is everything alright? Is Jake alright? Jack Napier didn't... he's not harassing you again, is he?"

She hadn't been in touch with Dean since the werewolf stuff had started. So she didn't know if there was any news one way or the other. She was really out of the loop without him, in these matters. It wasn't really a nice feeling, now that she thought about it.
