Cissie was grateful that things had been quiet lately, but she couldn't help feeling like this was the calm before the storm. She really hoped she was wrong--that is was more like the calm that immediately followed a storm, but knowing this place and her own luck, she doubted it. At least it was giving Tim and Dick time to heal.

She was worried. So many people seemed to be vanishing all the time, and there was no way of knowing what would happen with the Entropi. She didn't know what she could do, either. She had her medical training, which helped with the aftermath, but in another crisis? Her arrows weren't going to be any use against them.

That didn't stop her from practicing, though. Even if they wouldn't help against the Entropi, they helped her clear her mind and focus, and think. Which was something she needed at the moment ( ... )

Bruce paused when he saw the blond heading in his direction. He glanced behind him half-heartedly, simply because he knew the real direction she was heading in was towards the park. He just happened to be along the way. He offered her a smile and made a show of overlooking her shoulder to view the archery gear on her back. He seemed to eye it "funny."

"Nice to see my gifts are being put to good use," he said with a slight tease to his voice. He nodded once and shrugged. "With all of the mess around here? Is it really that surprising?"

Cissie gave a small sigh and shrug of her own. "I guess not. Still--in this place, there's never really a good time to go incommunicado. People tend to think the worst," she said, making a point of not looking right at him when she said it. It wasn't meant as a reprimand--okay, maybe a small one--but rather a reminder that there were people here who noticed when he hid himself away.

She shifted her bow on her shoulder and wrinkled her nose, looking at him again and changing the subject back to the archery equipment. "I don't know about good use," she said wryly, "but there's not much else I can do around here these days, and god forbid I be out of shape when we get back."

Bruce tried his best to ignore the reprimand for what it was. He glanced away and also refused to look directly at her. He'd said it before but he wouldn't say it now, even if it was the mantra he told himself was not a lie and really true. He didn't need nor want anyone's worry, friendship, trust, or care.

"Good use would imply you're using them to at the very least practice," he replied. He glanced back at her with a forced smile. "Not much else you can do with archery when nothing is going down right in front of you."

Cissie looked down at her hand gripping her bag--her knuckles were white--and tried to take his last words for how he meant them and not let her own feelings turn them into a jab. It was exactly what she had thought about a million times since the Keepers appeared overhead. Archery was what she did--it was what she had been trained to do since before she could talk--and it was useless against the Entropi, and was not going to help any of the people she loved. She was more of a liability than a help, and knowing that made everything harder.

She forced herself to take a deep breath before looking back at him and shrugging a shoulder. "No, there's not. But I am practicing." She gave him a smile of her own--slightly forced, but mostly genuine. "Care to join me? You can show off your aim."

If it made her feel any better there wasn't really anything Bruce--even as Batman--could do against the Entropi either. He was also dead weight, more or less. The best he could do would be to lend help to those that could when the time came. And even that much... he wasn't really sure what would be actually useful. Carrying the dead and dying away from the direct battlefield? Sounded wondrous.

Bruce laughed. "Oh, sure. I'd just love to make a fool of myself in front of the champion." But he was smiling, and it was obvious he was agreeing to the suggestion.
