Gotham City

Fresh red paint. Four simple words. The body of Thelma Jenkins hanging limply with wire around her neck with a note pinned on her clothes.

RED HOOD. RED HURTS.

RED HOOD. RED HURTS.

Canary's Rescue -- Mob Scene

[allstargal.livejournal.com]

Rattled from driving New-Wave off, Firebrand takes stock of the situation: Several heroes have pushed ahead -- Mid-Nite, Tazmanian Devil, Green Arrow, Huntress, Hal Jordan.

What's left behind is a mob scene -- fallen soldiers on both sides, Alan Scott entrenched in a fight with the Enchantress, Mammoth stirring, Flash, Martian Manhunter and Terrific down. Gizmo and Psimon and Lord knows who still at large.

They need the big picture. They need direction, before someone dies.

"Firebrand for JSA to Oracle. This situation is disintegrating. Tell me there's good news."

Back home

He has been relieved of the necklace, but Kostan feels much heavier as he materializes in Sub Diego. The child's toy is still in his pack, and he's been instructed to keep hold of it. For what purpose, however, he doesn't know.

He's at the city hall, back in the room where he confronted Raven.

"Your Grace?" It's an Atlantean guard. "Please, step away from the window. The city is secured, but..." There a heaviness that says it all. "Secured" and "stable" are two different states.

The soldier briefs Kostan. "We've managed to evacuate most of the High Council here. Two representatives are still missing. A miracle of the whales seems to have calmed the capitol, but the outlying city-states are dealing with isolated and random civil unrest and violence.

A miracle, indeed. It would appear as though Dark Angel did as she was asked.

Kostan is led into the wing doubling as an infirmary. Dolphin sits by her husband, and while Garth is weak, he is certainly gaining strength.

Canary Hunt

[moments after this post's fight with Dr. Light]


It's easily the most sickening three minutes of Huntress' life, not counting any time spent in Constantine's presence. The concussion Light inflicted on her is bad and her vision blurring at intervals. Her head aches. She reaches the level Dinah's being held; pausing briefly to check for hidden surprises or friends. It's silent. Silence is never a good sign.

Another surge of nausea forces her to stop again for a moment. Don't have time for this crap, she thinks. Nothing for it, now. Time for a Canary cry of her own. She staggers down the hallway and sinks against the door of Canary's cell, pounding on it with her fist.

"Dinah!"

Thanksgiving Day, Wayne Manor-style

[http://users.livejournal.com/_darkknight_/]

Guests would be arriving any minute, if his watch is right - and of course it's right - and Bruce isn't ready. He's still leaning against the shower wall, hot water beating on the muscles still stiff and already purpling from an encounter six hours earlier with Killer Croc. He had escaped from jail long enough to terrorize the northern side of Gotham, and stopping him, as usual, proved time-consuming, difficult, and less than pleasant.

Thanks to the shower and his general feeling of being run over by a truck, he doesn't even hear the arrival of his adopted son, his daughter-in-law, and his grandchild.

In Aerie One

[straight-arrow.livejournal.com]

He feels like a fifth wheel right now. Dinah needs a doctor, and Mid-Nite happens to be handy. But he keeps it to himself, until she's been checked out. Then he goes over to her.

How are you holding up?
