The city 'needs a bat' and therefore I am that bat now?

Have to say, I'm a lot honored and a little flustered. Not entirely sure what I can do without all my equipment. At least, not sure what I can do safely without my equipment. You know me though. I'm always willing to try.

Just have to soldier on.

I'm sure you'll be able to save the day there even without a utility belt full of stuff, Batwoman-ma'am! You're an awesome superhero!

[vespertilionidae]

Didn't think I could be more flustered. Turns out I could.

Thanks for the compliment. That's really something to hear.

[fanboy_power]

Why're you flustered?

You're welcome, ma-am!

[vespertilionidae]

I don't usually get a lot of compliments in my line of work.

[fanboy_power]

Oh. Well people should compliment you more! You're a great superhero and you do some important work!

[vespertilionidae]

My ego probably doesn't need so much fanning.

[fanboy_power]

Still, I think people should show superheroes a little more gratitude. I get mad when they do things like blame you all for the bad guys or anything like that.

[illustres]

Not gonna lie, not having the essentials around like that does make it a bit difficult.

[It's weird not having his Ring, though he is trying to deal with it the best he can.]

[vespertilionidae]

We'll just have to get creative then, won't we?

[illustres]

Creativity's a strong suit of mine, so yea, think I can make it work.

[vespertilionidae]

That's the spirit. Between the two of us there's nothing we can do in that place.

[illustres]

And the optimism's appreciated, unfortunately not a lot of people there seem to share the sentiment.

[vespertilionidae]

That's what we're for. Inspire the optimism and courage.

[illustres]

True! Even if the majority have no clue who we are.

[Or in his case, none that seem to acknowledge that he's normally a space cop back home. Being heroes is suffering.]

[vespertilionidae]

That's why we lead by example. Someone had to make the names into a symbol at home before we carried them on, we'll just have to be those someones in this new city.

[illustres]

Easier said than done, but we can do it. Just need the right tools and motivation.

[vespertilionidae]

I'll let the city handle getting you the tools. I'll kick you in the ass for motivation, though.

[illustres]

Works for me.

[bodilesswarrior]

Since when do we do things safely?

[vespertilionidae]

Point.

There's still a line of stupidity and safety I'd like to walk gracefully, though. No use to anyone dead.

[bodilesswarrior]

Very true. I don't suppose there are any convenient armouries to raid?

[vespertilionidae]

If only, if only. My best hope of getting supplies is a monthly item drop, and even then my chances are slim.

[bodilesswarrior]

I never like relying on chance.

Not unless I've got a probability manipulator on hand, anyway.

[vespertilionidae]

That's exactly how I feel about it, down to the probability manipulator and everything.

[bodilesswarrior]

It's pretty nice to know everybody.

Until you're completely ripped away from that network and dropped into a patchwork city.

[vespertilionidae]

Sadly that is exactly the situation I'm going to be faced with.

I'll just have to see about reestablishing a solid network there.

[bodilesswarrior]

That's my plan too, yeah. Anyone there you know already?

[vespertilionidae]

There are a couple I recognize as being from our world but none I know personally. Hopefully we can all pull it together.

How about your place? Someone you can rely on there?

[bodilesswarrior]

I'm sure you will.

I've got Batgirl. The third Batgirl, specifically, which threw me for one hell of a loop. Red Robin and Superboy, too, and a few more people I don't actually know about yet.

I hate not knowing things.

[vespertilionidae]

If anyone could figure things out and make sense of a bad situation, it'd be you.

[bodilesswarrior]

And if anyone could band the captives from our universe together and lead the charge, it's you.

[vespertilionidae]

Flattery will get you everywhere.

[goodsoldier]

What can't soldiers do, really.

[vespertilionidae]

Nothing when there mind's into it, or so it seems.
