Sending The Signal

[det-montoya.livejournal.com]

The pack of cigarettes is still sitting in the top drawer of her desk. She should have brought it along. A little extra something to keep her warm as she waits on the rooftop would be a Godsend. With hands shoved into her jacket pockets, Renee Montoya watches as Stacey flips the switch of the Bat signal. Her gaze immediately shifts to the night sky. The symbol stretches across the clouds for all to see.

When she was a teenager, she used to look out her bedroom window and watch the light ripple in the darkness. Back then it was a sign of hope. A promise that good would always win out over evil. It's partially what lead her to law enforcement. Now?

She's old enough to know there's no "happily ever after".

Her gaze drops and her thoughts return to Thorne.

She removes her right hand from the outer pocket and goes fishing into an inner one. From it, she pulls a series of stapled papers. Is it standard procedure to carry around an extra copy of the crime scene report and interviews? Only in Gotham. And only when you make trips to the roof.

"Well, there's always the solution to all your problems," another voice says, hovering on her glider.

Stormcrow has Batman, unconscious and bound, on one side.

And he looks every bit the Batman.

Save for being bound and beaten.

She's got that 'dear in the headlights' look. Two of them? She'd be reaching for her cuffs right now if he wasn't already gift wrapped.

"Got a name, cape?"
