A Rooftop of the Abandoned Warehouse District, Thursday Night

So, grappling from building to building under the cover of night again. She was making a weekly habit of this, if not nightly; staying in practice was important ( Read more... )

Blossom was just heading for a short trip into Baltimore, honest. No need to call for back-up, or anything unless she actually found something, right?

So then why was the sight of that UNMISTAKABLE costume on the warehouse roof she just flew over making her feel guilty? She sighed and slowed, circling back and landing behind...

"..." Uhm. That wasn't Red or Robin.

batwaffles January 21 2011, 02:25:36 UTC

It was too Robin! Just . . . not the same one. The giant head of blonde hair probably made that abundantly clear.

Said giant head of blonde hair whipped around, followed by the rest of her.

"Sheesh! Does everybody on this island make a habit out of this?"

heromaniac January 21 2011, 02:27:31 UTC

"..."

"..."

"You're a girl." Yes, that was obvious, but bear with her, she had a point to make. "You're a girl!"

Okay, so that was her point.

batwaffles January 21 2011, 02:29:21 UTC

"You don't say," Robin answered, amused by the reaction. She could get used to people saying that like it wasn't a bad thing. "Let me guess. You've met one of the other ones?"

It was a good point to make!

heromaniac January 21 2011, 02:36:45 UTC

It TOTALLY wasn't a bad thing!

"Ah! Sorry! It's just... They're all boys since Di... Canary graduated and while it's awesome to work with them, it's totally annoying sometimes. You know how it is, fighting with boys. And they always leave you to clean up the mess!" Blossom floated over and reached for the girl Robin's hands eagerly.

"My name's Blossom! I didn't know there were girl Robins! You are a Robin, right?"

And, of course, the warehouse she just so happened to stop on was where Tony had been working on his secret lab. All secret and somehow being built without alerting anyone to its presence. Oh, Marvel.

While it was nowhere near done, the systems in place were operational enough to alert him to someone up on the roof. And what better time to try out the suit again than now to investigate nefarious goings on.

...okay, it also looked cool.

"Am I interrupting?" Tony asked, voice thankfully filtered by the suit as he hovered next to the pair.

"I know how it is," Robin was in the middle of saying, letting Blossom take her hands. (Really, such a nice change from the usual denial.)

Except then there was --

"Gah!" she yelped.

God, Tony. So dramatic.

heromaniac January 21 2011, 02:51:12 UTC

Blossom was totally too used to Tim Red sneaking up on her on rooftops.

"Yes!" She rolled her eyes. "You should totally wait until someone is finished speaking before you start, you know."

Wait...

"!!!YOU HAVE A POWER SUIT!!!"

hoorayimrich January 21 2011, 02:55:41 UTC

...right then.

Tony tapped the side of the helmet, trying to make sure he still had ear drums. "Wow, that's a lot of feedback."

batwaffles January 21 2011, 03:06:53 UTC

Robin was eyeing him suspiciously, for the most part; people wearing high-tech suits like that didn't tend to be a good thing in her (admittedly limited) experience.

"Yeah, but is it a good power suit or a bad power suit?" she had to ask.

. . . she didn't mean to sound like she was insulting his suit.

"Hey. You're not here to fight, are you?"

Forgive her for sounding slightly hopeful that he was.

heromaniac January 21 2011, 03:09:56 UTC

"There's no such thing as a bad powersuit, Robin. Only bad pilots inside powersuits." Blossom rolled her eyes.

hoorayimrich January 21 2011, 03:13:44 UTC

"...No, I'm not here to fight anyone," Tony replied slowly. "Unless you're planning to attack me first. I don't know how well that would go for you, though."

Billion dollar suit of armor.

batwaffles January 21 2011, 03:26:58 UTC

"Details," Robin replied flippantly.

Okay, maybe I should pay attention to details.

She turned her attention to Tony, crossing her arms over her chest. "So you're out for a joyride, then? Just taking a spin in the ol' fancy-schmancy rocket powered armor?"

Don't insult the technology, Steph.

heromaniac January 21 2011, 03:35:57 UTC

"We wouldn't attack you; we're heroes. Right, Robin?" Duh, see the bright colours?

"Is it really rocket powered?" That sounded like fun, actually. She floated around the new guy, reaching out to poke at the pretty suit. "It totally looks awesome! Can I try it? I'm an awesome pilot!"

hoorayimrich January 21 2011, 03:40:46 UTC

"You can fly on your own," Tony pointed out, turning to keep an eye on her. The suit could watch the blond in the... cape? Seriously? Wow this place was weird. "And I'm not the one hanging out on the roof. I only stopped by because you two were here."

SECRET LAB.

batwaffles January 21 2011, 03:46:12 UTC

Hey. HEY. Don't knock the cape now!

"Oh, really?" Someone was a little sore about being the only one here who couldn't actually fly. Someone flashed Blossom a totally cheesy thumbs-up in confirmation to the thing about being heroes, though! "So you just happened to come wandering by the same rooftop in a flying armored suit? That's convenient."

See what happens when you pick an abandoned warehouse for your lab, Tony?
