talon/catwoman: gotham
[Talon, in his black and gold, held one of the local Park Row pimps up by his collar with a knife at his throat.] You were the last person to see her. [The pimp squirmed, shouting and swearing that girls go missing all the time. That he can't report it to the cops. That this was just how Gotham was. The last part brought fury in Talon's regal blue eyes and he slammed the pimp so hard against the brick wall that the impact could almost be heard over the screaming sirens out on the street. It didn't matter how many pimps or dealers or hookers he questioned, they all said the same thing. They shrugged because people from Gotham accepted violence, death, disappearance and hurt to be a part of their normal lives. That alone always got deep under Talon's skin.] If I find out you had anything to do with this, I'm going to slice your face open.

[Talon let the pimp go and shot his grappling hook so he could go roost on the nearby roof to think. The girls who went missing were random and all were gone without a trace. They were working girls, which meant there wasn't a paper trail and no one really cared what happened to them. Damian didn't know where to go next, who he could shake down that could give him any answers and that added to the list of things that pissed him off.

Taking out his tablet, he swiped a digital line through the last name on the list and sighed. Grayson would tell him to work backwards, but this city could have any motive. Anything from some psycho killer to a crime recruitment ring. He didn't have a clue and he was about to give up.]

[She'd been trailing him at a safe distance on his last three stops, and by the time he grappled his way up onto that roof, she was right on his tail. Oh, she wasn't exactly obvious about it. But she snuck up from the back, silent as the grave, and she was sitting on an rooftop AC unit a few seconds after he landed.

She was slinky black, and this was the best way she could think of to work off the miasma of feelings from her conversations earlier in the day. And she was being so helpful. Holly had voiced concerned, and she was looking into it. Honestly? She didn't expect to find much. And the kitty cat was very, very surprised when she did. And for the first time in a very, very long time, this Gotham felt like hers.

She watched him swipe his fingers across the tablet, and she cocked her head to the side. She pushed her goggles up, and she tried to decide if talking to him would result in an immediate fight, or if he'd run his mouth a little first.]

It's not the pimps. Not the mobs, either. [Beat.] Back to the black and gold, hmmm? [She slid off the AC unit with easy grace, as if this? Didn't matter even the smallest bit.]

[Talon turned at the familiar voice and he almost did reach for a knife to slice her where she stood. It was possible that it was simply easier to take all his aggression out on one person, the person he had always fueled it towards since she picked his father over him. Damian wanted to make amends when he came back, but his father took months to see him while indulging time with Selina. That was all Damian could take. He was tired of her, tired of the bat family being nonexistent in his little bird brain.] I'm both. [Talon responded about the black and gold. Robin for saving the day, Talon for beating answers out of people.]

You know about this? [All business because that was all he had the patience for.] I don't know where to look for them. They could be anywhere in this city. They could be dead.

	[He stood up straight, about to change his visor to heat signature when his fingers stopped at the sound of her challenge. He turned to look at her, all threat, all danger.] Lose...to who? You? [Talon laughed and it was cold, joyless.] I'll victimize you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
