The Bat surveys her domain

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

A menacing red figure stood at the edge of Wayne Tower, featureless helmet trained on the city below as the wind blew its red cape out to one side. Sirens wailed somewhere below, and shouts and laughter came from all quarters, but Batwoman showed no alarm. These were the sounds of her city. This was the song of her home.

Down below in the city, a few streets away from where Batwoman stood, a strange portal opening. From it dropped a girl clad in a purple costume, she landed skillfully on her feet with a roll to avoid any damage. Taking a breath, she looked around, "where am I?"

Back on the tower, Batwoman had turned to look at the moon as it came up full and round. If anyone actually looked up they'd see her shadow against the radient disk.

Spoiler did look up, as she tried to figure out her surroundings, and paused. "Batman?" She pulled out her graftling hook, and fired it to the roof, climbing up, "batman?"

The tall red figure turned its head to look at her as the woman inside slowly arched one brow. "Yes?"

The synthasized voice was clearly female, as were the curves on the chest of the suit.

"uh, so not the Batman." Spoiler exclaimed, "who are you?"

"Batwoman," came the terse reply. "What are you doing in Gotham?"

[exiles-jubes.livejournal.com]

"I protect Gotham," terse reply for terse reply.

"Not this Gotham." She turned her back. "You've got a week to get out."

"What? Why?" Spoiler did not understand what was going on. "I do not even know how I got here, how am I supposed to leave?"

Batwoman turned back, the glare felt even through the full-face mask. "What do you mean?" The words were abrupt and cold.

Spoiler was used to that stare, and did not flinch, "I do not know how I got here." Her words were crisp and honest, "I just fell into the alleyway."

Behind the faceplate icey eyes squeezed shut at the beginning of a headache as Batwoman growled to herself. Then she reached out as fast as a striking snake and seized the girl by the arm, holding it in an iron grip as she pulled a device from her utility belt and took a cell sample.

"I'll have a way back for you in a few days. Until then you're a civilian. Understand?"

[exiles-jubes.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Spoiler rubbed her arm. She decided not to argue the point that she did not even have any place to live as a civilian, instead she just nooded. "Understood."
