[prosecutorial]

Free for all for superhero based fandom smashing. Make a top level with your hero of choice and someone else will smash into it. I figured this would be easy and fun to do until we figure out actual plot and then we can do that.

For now, shenanignans!

[She laughs.]

She didn't choose it. It was chosen for her, unfortunately.

[wingdinging]

[Dick lets out an over-dramatic sigh of relief]

That makes me feel so much better.

[seriously]

[prosecutorial]

[She laughs before turning back to Oliver.]

Have Overwatch track me and Speedy can meet us there.

[Oliver grumbles but nods, before turning to Diggle and heading out. Once they're gone, she turns back to Nightwing with a small smile.]

Sorry about him. He doesn't know how to play well with others.

[wingdinging]

[Dick watches them go, and when they're gone, he turns back to Laurel with a shrug]

It's an alpha male thing. Trust me, I definitely get it. [a beat] Not that you'll have to worry about that from me. [because he's not Bruce] I'm more the Strong Female Character type.

[ ... and that. he and Clint Barton would get along way too well]

[prosecutorial]

[She laughs at that, before shaking her head.]

C'mon. Let's go find the Penguin.

[wingdinging]

[he grins dazzlingly, honestly, pleased that she wasn't offended by that. when it dims, he makes a showman's gesture in a random direction]

You lead, I'll follow.

1/2

[prosecutorial]

[And with that they will bounce their way over the rooftops, heading to the rendezvous where they will find an archer in red leather with a katana on her back waiting for them.]

Hey, Speedy.

[withasouvenir]

[ she might... be on her phone. LOOK, she loves her clint barton bird's eye view, but my god can it get boring without anyone to beat up. ]

It'll only take a second, Speedy, I'll be speedy, Speedy. [ she makes a face at laurel, but even with a mask it's clear she's just fucking with the older woman. ] I ordered a pizza. You seriously need to work on your definition of speedy.

[ a beat. ] We know another vigilante and no one told me? Is there seriously a memo that I am not getting?

[wingdinging]

You should try paying for the pizza in costume. The reactions you get are priceless. [he totally did that once. it was awesome] But uh, no, I'm from the visiting team.

[and he flips a wave]

Nightwing, hi.

[prosecutorial]

We just met.

[To address the lack of a memo that Thea received.]

Apparently Star City has a Penguin problem, and Oliver loaned us to Team Batman for the evening to help get rid of him.

[withasouvenir]

Since when are penguins a problem? [ penguins tho. ] Wait, what is this about Batman?

[wingdinging]

Think less penguin -- [he makes a hand gesture to indicate the approximate size of a literal penguin] -- and more Penguin. [and then another, to indicate Oswald's height, and another, miming his monocle and the cigars he's so fond of]

[a pause follows when he drops his hands again] Yeah, I'm one of Batman's friends.

[prosecutorial]

Yeah. This is Penguin with a capital "P."

[Which may be a little much compared to what they're used to, but she's fairly certain they can handle it.]

[withasouvenir]

Yeesh. Cisco was right, bad guys should definitely never name themselves. [ she looks appropriately unimpressed for that dumb name. ] Nightwing on the other hand. [ she points her bow at him. ] Frickin' lit.

[wingdinging]

[he's pretty sure Oswald didn't name himself, per se -- that was more a rude nickname that someone started using, at some point, and it kind of stuck. he's not going to correct her, however, because he's totally on board with taking a shit on Oswald. and with her complimenting him on his codename]

[he grins easily, that latter part in mind] Hey, thanks. [a beat] And, uh, speaking of ... [he nods to her. someone explain to him how she got to be Speedy plz]

[prosecutorial]

[Laurel is going to let Thea take that one, as she turns to scan the area and see if there are any signs of trouble anywhere.]

[withasouvenir]

[ thea rolls her eyes. ] Green Arrow is my brother. [ SPILLING EVERY BEAN. ] Speedy was his nickname for me when I was a kid and he picked my codename for me before I even had a chance.

[wingdinging]

[Dick can't help but laugh. he holds up his hands placatingly immediately afterwards] Sorry, sorry. [a beat] Just imagining what codename I would have ended up with if I'd let Robin pick mine.

[Tim is not his brother, not by blood, but he might as well be. they're family, all of them]

[prosecutorial]

[She smirked.]

Fortunately for me, I just stole my sister's code name. Guess this is a bit of a family affair.

[withasouvenir]

[ thea scoffs. ] Canary's better than Speedy.

[wingdinging]

It could be worse?

[at least she's not the Penguin]

[prosecutorial]

Anyway - don't we have a supervillain to stop? We're all dressed up, might as well get to it.

[withasouvenir]

Right, yeah. [ she was either just distracted by new friend or new friend's, um, chestal region (because hello), but she rips her attention away from nightwing to settle on laurel. ]

I'm gonna need some directions. Maybe GPS. Only place I know to find penguins is at the zoo.

[wingdinging]

[he does, in fact, have a very nice chest. also a nice ass, which Thea may notice here before too long, but] Yeah, okay.

[a beat]

You're probably not too far off, actually. He's kind of got a thing for Natural History Museums. [which isn't too far off from a zoo, except the animals are usually dead and mounted] Otherwise, he's doing the cliche bad guy thing and hanging out by the docks. [Dick isn't entirely sure which way Oswald is swinging on this one (or if this city even has a Natural History Museum), however, as he didn't get much of a chance to do recon before Laurel started following him. he can always phone a friend, if they don't have any ideas]

[prosecutorial]

[Laurel nods once before glancing to Thea.]

We could call Overwatch. See if she can check the security cameras for anything weird?
