Return of an old teammate (Bruce)
Backdated to Christmas day and before this thread

Dinah kept herself busy on Christmas day. She had presents to deliver after all. She'd dropped in on a few of her friends and dropped off gifts. The peace offering that she'd brought to Beauty had been particularly well-received as the young woman had invited her in for tea. They might not see eye to eye on Eric, but Dinah felt bad for how she'd left their last conversation and she believed that Beauty truly did mean well.

One by one her gifts were delivered until she finally pulled her bike up the driveway to Wayne Manor. She hadn't forgotten the butler who was so much more. Not in the slightest. Alfred had been there for her through two very tough times since her time in the City. More importantly, he had been there for Jake. Dinah could never forget him on a holiday and she just hoped that he was enjoying a quiet Christmas off. After all, she knew that Zoe didn't live in the Manor and so she assumed that it was empty. She also wondered if perhaps the butler missed having people to tend to.

Neatly wrapped box in hand, Dinah rang the doorbell. She wondered if she should have called ahead. She had been wondering that on each of her stops throughout the day but she hadn't wanted to over-schedule Christmas. She had simply prepared herself to drop presents on doorsteps if she had to. Besides, she thought that surprise visits from friends might be a nice thing for this holiday.

Dinah understood. Good.

"Don't mention that Enigma's employee seems to be linked to a multiple homicide. It's difficult to say what surveillance those two have on the place, themselves."

Justice League. Bruce didn't quite frown. But the idea alone was rife with difficulty - especially given the mayor's special dispensation. Government restrained too much of Batman's personal operations - it was one of the reasons why he'd declined to join the FBI. Even still. He didn't want them in his way. And he didn't want to get in theirs. Did that mean they should ally?

At the very least, their communications system and his should be linked. Perhaps not completely. But there should be the option to connect the two together.

"We should keep lines of communication open, at the very least," he said at last. It was, it seemed, as far as he was willing to go. For now.
