Later, at Dr. Rogere's office....

The office is crowded with NYPD personnel, frantic patients, a hysterical receptionist, and building security.

So. What brought Nightar here?

"Do you have a security camera we can review?"

"For out here? Yeah. Not in his office--patient confidentiality--"

"May I please see the video for out here," he says. It's not really a question, but he's being polite. "It should help us identify the assailant."

"Okay." The receptionist sits back at her desk and starts clicking away on her keyboard. "It's not on tape," she adds, apparently taking comfort in the distraction of a relatively routine task. "It's digital. But I'll burn it on a DVD for you." A few minutes later, she hands Mr. Terrific a jewel case. "You need to watch it now? You can use my computer."

"Not neccesary," he says, smiling.

He slips the disc into a device hidden inside his jacket, and scans the tape on the monitor in his mask.

"That face is familiar," says Terrific, idly. I think I've seen a file..."

He sends a text message to Oracle, along with the video clip.

To: ORACLE
From: TERRIFIC
RE: ROGERE

MESSAGE: CLIP OF ROGERE CRIME SCENE. DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN? ID CONFIRMATION NEEDED.

He knows the answer already.

A text message comes back swiftly.

SUBJECT IDENTIFIED AS UBU, SERVANT OF RA'S AL-GHUL. CONSIDERED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

[jsaboss.livejournal.com]

THANKS. SOMEONE -- NIGHTWING IS MY GUESS -- IS INVESTIGATING AHEAD OF US. PLEASE PASS ADVISORY ON TO HIM IF POSSIBLE. JSA WILL CONTINUE SCENE INVESTIGATION.

[oracle-watching.livejournal.com]

ALREADY SEARCHING FOR AL-GHUL OWNED TRANSPORT OUT OF NYC. ADVISORY WILL BE RELAYED. ORACLE OUT.

A short time later, another text message comes through:

PRESERVE ANY ALTAR FOUND ON PREMESIS--MAY BE KEY TO DEFEATING CROUTEX.

MESSAGE RECEIVED. WILL DO.
