Effie bounced up the stairs, her long pigtails swinging as she followed the officer to get changed from her prison oranges and back into her jeans and hoodie she had worn into prison. Once done, she bounced out into the visitor’s area, throwing herself on her father, hugging him tightly. “Thank you,” she whispered.

Yes, she knew he had done bad and illegal things to free her, but she couldn’t stand another minute in there, and she certainly couldn’t stand going to Blackgate! There would be repercussions, questions...but the judge had freed her stating there was no evidence tying her to the murders beyond her own words, and words were not enough at this time to convict her…

..and so, she was free, questions and thoughts be damned. She was afraid, however, that she didn’t have anything to go home to. Bruce had never come to see her, and she doubted Tony would be as forgiving now. She clung to her father, suddenly terrified to leave.

After weeks of watching a warehouse where criminal activity was suspected, Dinah finally got a break. Unfortunately, with obtaining visual evidence that there was mass production of illegal weapons going on, she also ended up drawing some gunfire. The Canary was many things as a superhero, but bulletproof was not one of them. This was one of those times when having backup would have gone a long way. She could manage on her own most of the time, but there were times when she missed working in a team.

She crouched behind the pillar of a building as bullets whizzed by on all sides. She was out of sight and shielded for now, but it wouldn't be long before they found her hiding spot. A canary cry might take out some of them but she'd be putting herself in the line of fire to even direct it. So for now, she thought of exactly the best way to call for help.

She was wearing the watch Bruce had given her and there was a chance that the scientist could get some help to her in some form or another. She certainly wouldn't have said no to a certain Ironman at the moment. She considered calling Dean on her comm, but she was worried that she'd just be drawing him into a situation where he'd end up risking her life.

So Bruce it was. She pushed the button on the watch and hoped for the best. She wasn't sure if it had a speaker or if it just sent up an alert so she put the watch up to her face. "Bruce, if you're there... help."
