WHO: wire_master, a_dark_crusader, tightpantsrawr, crossedstaves, knightflown
WHAT: Team Vengeful vs. Team Bat (prize is a skinny psychiatrist)
WHERE: Seattle rooftop, possibly other places, it depends how fast Crane can run
WHEN: late evening
WARNINGS: v-violence and death
SUMMARY: Who do you hope will save you when you're about to be killed by two mean guys? Batman, that's who. Can Batman and Nightwing fend off Yuugao and Jason to save Crane's miserable little life??


Batman liked rooftops, right?

Jonathan tucked his hands inside his peacoat — this high, the wind got a bit chilly — and waited, watching the last of the sun go down past the space needle. He hadn't blindly made his appeal. He'd picked this building purposefully, and made a few preparations in case he might have to leave quickly. There were four cars waiting for him below on either side of the building, the elevator was 'broken' and the shaft rigged for speedy descent, doors were propped open... it probably wouldn't be enough, but that was thing. That was the very thing. Jonathan Crane wasn't scared. It was still possible for him, but it would take a lot more than the thought of being eviscerated by an insane ninja. Maybe, he pondered, if he rammed his hand through his chest, breaking the ribcage, and tore his heart out. Yes, that got a slight raise in heart rate. Or was that laughter? So hard to tell these days.

He hadn't been able to take Nygma's advice, in the end. Too few resources, too little time. Not, he presumed, that it would have mattered. 'Thomas' and the man with his face were awfully determined.

He considered that he might die today...

(It wasn't cold enough to see his breath.)

... so. Batman liked rooftops, right?
