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?"

"Mr. Universe. You know, from here to the eyes and the ears of the 'Verse? From that movie about space cowboys?" Carrie turned a corner, leaning in close to her bike. "It felt good. Second skin-y. It's lighter than what I'm used to. The vest weighed me down more than I realized. I wonder if this is what Nightwing feels like every time he's out."

As the buzz of excitement from the fight died down a little, Carrie felt a little worn. She wondered if she should turn in for the night.

	"I don't think I saw that one." He hmmmed, and called it up using the words she had named. He added it to his download queue. "Hm. Could be. How is the bike handling?" He watched her vitals and noted that, remembering everything he had learned long ago, then spoke. "And break out your drink. Adrenalin crash is never fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Bike's fine. He's always good," she said, patting the thing lovingly. Carrie laughed. "I'm good, I swear. Mom. I think I should probably go home. I don't want to, but it's been a while since I've been out. I'm used to Nightwing having my back out here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned as he heard the tone in her voice and marked the bike as off-limits. He chuckled. "I understand. You know your limits best. And, you did good, Catgirl. Not a bad debut at all." He was grinning wildly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I owe you for this, Doug." Carrie turned two corners, doubling back in order to get back home. "Thanks for everything." Carrie felt she was pretty much in Doug's debt for life. Not just for the technical help, but for being there. She'd almost forgotten about Bruce's return tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's my pleasure, Carrie. Having something real to do, something real to give, is nice for once. It's I who owe you for giving me something to do and think about." He tapped in commands, keeping an eye on her route. "There's a small ring in the utility pouch in the suit. If you wear it in civies, then anytime you want, you can reach me."

"You don't owe me anything," Carrie said. With one hand, she reached for the ring, feeling it but not taking it out. "I'll keep it close in case of emergency."

She smiled. "I think I'm going to sign off for the night, Mr. Universe. I need to sleep." A bath to soothe all the aches wouldn't hurt either. The next few days were probably going to be stressful. "Until next time?"

	He nodded. "Cool." He shook his head at the name and then chuckled. "Until next time, Catgirl. See you on the flip side." He sat back and grinned, nodding., A good night. (Reply to this) (Parent)
