	Exactly. And, in my universe the Syndicate laid waste to any kind of resistance in a matter of months. With me and Steph there convincing everyone to fight the good fight we extended life expectancy, but didn't really make any headway. We were next on the chopping block when we got zapped back.

	We were fighting when I got zapped back here, but there were only four of us left standing at the time. I can't say the odds were very good. [...] How long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Odds are never good against them. If you knew how many times I jump at a noise thinking they boom tubed after me you'd laugh. [Blink.] I didn't know you went up against the Syndicate. Was it all rogues against them or..? [Blink.] Five years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, no rogues. Just us. It's what brought the Leagues together, somewhat, since it was all JLA plus one left standing. Maybe the rogues turned on them after I left, since Lex was running them at the time. Or maybe Owlman and Ultraman finally tore each other to bits over a woman. I don't know. [The cursor blinks.] Five years with the Syndicate? How the Hell did you manage five years against that? [And the cursor blinks and blinks.] I was worried they were here before. Do you think they're here now?

We were hoping they'd rip each other apart eventually, but I think Owlman liked playing with us too much. We're too fun. [Blink, blink.] Hiding, mostly. I'm an Arkham rogue first, so I know how to lay low for a long time without being detected. We had a literal underground base that worked out pretty nicely until it got raided. [Bliiiiiiiiiiiiink.] Well, it'd make sense to me. When I'm bored at night and I can't sleep and this fucking door doesn't open to Atwood anymore? I research all the little Syndicate rumors that pop up. There's talk of more facilities than the one you broke into.

	I take it being back here is a blessing and curse, then? [The cursor blinks.] Maybe it's just a name. No one followed you, right? That isn't possible, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm glad I don't have to fight anymore. But, I don't really know anything else. [Blink, blink, blink.] Muerte mentioned something on the journals about feeling an earthquake and I thought it might be Owlman following us back. Honestly, I don't even know how to prepare for the Syndicate coming here. Watchtower or not, the League is too green. They'll get wasted. So, maybe it's better if we just pretend it's not possible.

	Re: Selina K/Eddie N riddlethem 2014-03-28 08:17 am UTC (link)
	What can we do? Waste time worrying about it? Warn the others? I've done this song and dance when there was actually a tiny window that things could go right and we still lost. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Selina K/Eddie N spacecowboys 2014-03-28 08:20 am UTC (link)
	Even if Bruce manages to get all the little birds into the nest, and even if he brings the League in too. Even if all the hate that's eating at people in the Batfamily disappears, and I can't see that happening overnight. Even then, we can't win. I saw a much stronger Gotham fall to the Syndicate and, so it seems, did you. No, Eddie, maybe we just hope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
