who. Carrie Kelley and Doug Ramsey
what. Some talk, some crime fighting, and a new costume. Woo!
when. Later tonight
where. NY

Dick had found Bruce. Carrie didn't know any details. She didn't know what shape Bruce was in or where Dick had found him. As much as she tried to tell herself it didn't matter, it did. As much as she didn't want to care, she did. After a day of waiting for some news, she found herself unable to wait any longer. She was too restless and angry to just sit around and wait.

"Fuck it," Carrie said, picking herself up off the couch, grabbing some gear, and running out of the apartment.

Ten minutes later, she was speeding down the street on her motorcycle - which was between paint jobs and looking a bit uglier than normal. She ignored the lights and speed limits, only taking care in slowing because of sharp turns and bumps in the road. Carrie was still carrying a few bruises and wounds from nights of training.

She stopped at Doug's, hopping off her bike and jogging into the building. She knocked on the door and the electric voice of his butler welcomed her inside. "Hey Doug?" Carrie said, peeking in before taking a step inside his home. "It's me. You here?"

	"Yes it is. Smoke pellets and oil pellets can be fired as well to help things slide your way." He dropped his voice. "You can do this. You are good, they are not expecting you, and you are fast. Rock the house, Catgirl." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Carrie moved down the escape silently. She needed to get low enough that the jump down wouldn't hurt her. It was important she didn't catch the thugs' attention, as she wasn't really in the mood to be shot at tonight. Thankfully, they were too distracted. And it didn't hurt that she blended into the night.

Carrie jumped over the fire escape's edge and landed between the two thugs. Her foot came down on one's shoulder. She hit the second as soon as she landed. He reeled and Carrie managed to pull the gun out of his hand. She tossed the thing over her shoulder, in the cop's direction. She threw a hard punch and the guy doubled over. "I'll get back to you in a sec," she said. That was one guy disarmed.

The first, the one she'd landed on, was just coming to his senses as Carrie turned her attention to him. He pointed his gun at her and she quickly dodged. "Gimme that," she growled, bringing her hand down on his wrist in a swift, chopping motion. He shouted and dropped the thing quickly. He wouldn't be using that hand for a while. Carrie kicked him hard at the right spot and he went down.

Just then the second guy grabbed her from behind. Carrie felt a hand go around her throat. She kicked herself for being slow. She was better than this. "Gotcha, Catwoman," the guy said in her throat. Carrie grit her teeth. She didn't like that.

She brought a foot down on his knee and his grip loosened. It took a second to twist out of his grasp. "Catwoman? Seriously?" Carrie sounded annoyed. "Do I look like Catwoman? Don't answer that," she said quickly. "Have you ever seen Catwoman? She has breasts like you wouldn't believe. She's got to have D's or DD's. Me? I'm a b-cup on a lucky day. Let's open our eyes here, asshole."

"Huh?" Her assailant looked extremely confused.

"I'm Catgirl and I'm new. I'd take it as a kindness if you could spread my name around. I'm the five-foot-nothing, hundred pound girl that totally kicked your ass." With that, she brought her fists and feet flew. She beat him up for a few seconds and then twisted his hand behind his back. "Hey officer," Carrie called. "Got a present for you. I'd appreciate it if you didn't shoot at me."

Doug was tapping away as he watched from sky eyes and watched local units.

She did great and he breathed okay as she got loose.

"Excellent. By the way, units are almost there. One of them reads as a trigger finger. Making yourself scarce soonest would be good."

He glanced at readouts, checking everything and tapped a few more commands, his system slowly connecting and telling little computers what to do.

"You have a clear path to the south, and I will keep it that way."

Carrie almost nodded at Doug's words but then remembered that he wouldn't be able to see the gesture. The cop who'd been down the alley came running over, glancing Carrie up and down. She was in the process of cuffing one of the thugs with a plastic set of cuffs she had around her waist.

"Vigilantism is illegal, you know," the cop said. Thankfully, he didn't sound as though he was about to enforce this rule.

"I'm just doing my part," Carrie said with a little shrug. "You can take all the credit if you want." She glanced down the street and almost swore she heard sirens. "You can handle it from here, right ace?" There was a pause. "Are you checking out my ass?"

The cop didn't respond, choosing to shuffle around on his feet at he handcuffed the guy she'd knocked out.

Carrie scoffed ("Men.") and pressed a button on her wrist. Her bike came rolling down and she hopped on. She rode down in the direction Doug had pointed her in. "Thanks for the help, Mr. Universe," she said, grinning.
