Rooms

[ This wasn't her city, but she was learning as much about it as she could. Quietly. It was difficult with Ollie gone, but she had managed before he or Felicity had shown up, and she would continue to manage on her own. It wasn't like there was a lack of work to do. As much as she once wanted to go home, that was no longer an option for her. Home was end of her story, her true escape. Sara was not ready for that yet.

She didn't know how it was possible for a city to have more crime than Staring did before Oliver had gone back to it. But somehow she always found something to do, even if it wasn't League Official. That was a whole other department she was still adjusting to and figuring out.

It was late, she had just stopped a mugging, and now found herself on the rooftops, staring down at the city below. There was a quiet up here that she loved, you could almost look out at the world and think nothing was wrong with it. Not from this point out. But there was always something wrong, and the longer she waited around up here, the higher the chances she had of missing something important down there.

Before she could leave, movement caught her eye. A familiar outfit, a familiar figure. But she couldn't be sure just yet. So she followed him, she had to know it was him. Sara didn't want to get her hopes up, but she was also going to be pretty damn pissed off if had been back in town for longer than just a couple of hours and hadn't informed her. It was one thing if they were home, but in this place? He was so getting hit for that.

Maybe he was very much aware he was being tailed, but she kept following, growing more sure it was him with every passing minute. She knew his movements, his style. That was Ollie. So she closed in, and when she was close enough, she jumped. He completely deserved to be landed on. ]

( The city didn't feel the same as it once had. )

Do you ever look for information from that show we're on?

Looking for legitimate opinions here: what age is too old for a Halloween costume?

[Text to Sara L]

Care to explain the kitchen to me?

Someone needs to bring me a beer and save me from eating the Halloween candy that was half-off at the store.

[Group lock to Felicity S & Sara L]

I've got some keys for the two of you.

[After her pleasant drink and chat with Donna, Felicity was starting to feel settled with this whole move to Gotham, but moving in with Oliver still was weirding her out ... more than she wanted to admit. And if she was going to have a hand in choosing a place to live, then she wanted to choose something that gave them enough space to move without things feeling awkward, especially with Sara thrown in the mix too. There was no questioning this was a good idea, just a little wierd.

So they'd narrowed it down to three places and now it was time to make a decision. Felicity had chosen a nice little cafe for them to grab a coffee and sit down and talk about the choices. There was one she really liked, but of course, it was the most expensive of the three. She didn't think that was going to be a problem, but she wasn't look too eager to spend Oliver's money. Much.] Coffee?

[Start with the easy decision first, and then move on to the big one.]

I've got a situation here. What's the worst idea you've ever had and been stupid enough to follow through?

[ LOCKED: HAL J. ]

How are you in this fine day?

[ LOCKED: OLIVER Q & FELICITY S ]

So this move to Gotham at least part of the time is happening, yes? Setting up shop? You'll notice I'm including myself in your plans. So don't design any new awesome Arrow Caves without me.

Splitting my time between two different cities is becoming kind of exhausting.

[In short, flicked-pencil lack of cursive:]

You take off one night and they switch out the lights. Anyone want to tell a girl what the hell happened to our city?

[batfam/JL/+ lock.]

Eddie is going underground to look for water and electricity. Anyone who'd like to go with him, let him know. In the meantime, Gordon and about thirty of his men are trapped in the GCPD building. Superman, I want you and Oliver to get them out and bring them somewhere more secure. One of the safe houses, or even Wayne Enterprises-- I have it secured. We can work on coordinating with the police then. Oliver, Ms. Lance is welcome to join you.

We still need to get into City Hall. That seems to be a base of operations, or at least one of them. As for the rest of you, where are your locations? We need people on the ground as well, in neighbourhoods. Any supplies you can find, anything at all, will help. People are going to need it.

[locked to superman.]

I want you to keep an eye on Oliver and Ms. Lance.

[locked to barbara gordon.]

We're sending people in to get your father and the others out. Can you patch the GCPD in to our frequency? We need open lines of communication.

[locked to lois lane.]

[As Batman.]

Hello, Ms. Lane.

[Locked to Dick G]

Apparently one of your friends is bringing Sara Lance in because she knew a Ra's here in the world we come from. What guarantee do I have that she won't be harmed? Because frankly, I don't have a good feeling about this.

[Locked to Felicity S]

Keep some eyes and ears towards Wayne Tower for me. They're bringing Sara in and I'm concerned about their motives.

[ Comm: Oliver Queen ]
Ollie?

[Batfam + (no Steph just in case, no bruce, no eddie (denial)) - Justice League + Ollie]

[After Stephanie is sedated and safely in the Wayne Tower Nightwing lair, and after Babs has had body delivery. There's no hello, just an update. And also beheadings.]

Babs is going to examine the body Ra's dumped on the steps, and see where that takes her as far as a positive ID. Stephanie is sedated, and safe. Sleeping it off. Babs, when you're done at the Clocktower, move your operation there so she doesn't wake up alone.

Thanks to Helena's good intel, we are fairly certain they're somewhere underground, with Bruce and possibly Eddie. Helena suggested we needed more eyes, and she's right. Babs is going to deploy drones as best we can and tap into surveillance networks we usually hesitate on tapping into. Helena, you've been closest, can you give us an update?

If we're going to go into the sewers, we need to assume there are eyes everywhere once we're down there.

Justice League, and Ollie - please stay on top of Gotham, find people who need shelter and help. This is going to get worse now that we've got a new king of Gotham. Use Babs, use every resource we have available and if you need more, I will get you more.

Bats and Cat - We're going underground.

[Locked: Steve R]

Not to alarm you, but my sister may have alarmed Spider-Man. I just wanted to let you know that we're alright over here. Or, as well as we can be. No need for anyone to come.

[Group lock to Sara L & Felicity S]

Care to join me in Gotham?

[JLA + Ollie/Conner Kent/Batfam + (Sans Eddie, and Bruce in case Ra's has access to their journals. sorry bros. ilu so much)]

So. Taking inventory of what we're dealing with. Citywide crime sprees of an epic proportion. Ra's making threats about biological warfare, Bruce missing, and Eddie missing.

There are a few of us on Bruce and Eddie duty already - Jason and I are on the ground in the city trying to stop these schmucks from being awful. Clearly we could use some help in that area. JLA, I leave it to you to decide amongst yourselves where you think you'd be most useful in the city, if you can help, we'd appreciate it.

Babs, can you please call your father and tell him to alert the CDC that there's a credible threat? I'll send you all the information. We may not have to worry about it, but if it happens maybe they'll be ready to help.

We're on our own for this one, Marvel can't come bail us out. Ra's was specific about it. The consequences would be dire, and I believe he would do it. And I'm not willing to take the chance. We haven't put the doors on lockdown, but I'd appreciate it if we kept our contact with our friends in Marvel strictly on the journals for now. It's safer for everyone. I don't want to have to ask the Avengers to stand guard while they're still cleaning up their own mess.

That being said, AOB? Everyone want to check in? Anyone pissed about any of these plans? Speak now or I will come up with more things to pontificate.

[Locked to Sara L]

Just checking in.

[Locked to the DC Door.]

I know there's a lot going on in another door here, but if you need a hand with anything, let me know. My resources are at your disposal.
