IDEAS

[kryptonsson]

[Clark looks at you]

Yes? What do you suggest?

[bucky_cap]

[Bucky is leaning against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, expression solemn. He's been quiet most of the meeting so far - he doesn't doubt that he probably has a different perspective on this than everyone else, being a soldier instead of a traditional superhero.]

For one, we need to track down everyone he's been targeting and possibly put protective details on them. He's... hassled Yukina a few times and Steve and I had to step in last time. I doubt she's the only one.

[kryptonsson]

I saw him bothering Yukina once, but I wasn't aware it had not been a one-time thing.

I'm not sure it will help much since he's pretty... unpredictable when it comes to his victims, but we can certainly keep an eye on everybody he's got his eye on at the moment.

[bucky_cap]

No, that was at least the second time. I've told her to tell me immediately if he ever contacts her again, and Steve and I can protect her, but... Well.

I know there isn't much we can do to take preventative measures, but we can at least figure out his victims as he targets them and try to intervene before things get serious. Keep his ass playing musical head-games, at the very least, minimize the damage done.

QUESTIONS

[kryptonsson]

Anything I can help you with?

[notaspeedyhobo]

[Tommy raises his hand like a derpy school child asking the teacher a question, though instead of something normal coming out, he asks,]

Sooo, why can't we just keep killing this guy, again?

[grouchinleather]

I'm with the kid on this one.

[notaspeedyhobo]

Thank you, finally someone sees things my way! Seriously, I can blow up his brainstem from twenty feet off, he won't even know what hit him. We've got this 'Young Avengers don't kill' rule, but sometimes playing nice just doesn't work in a place like this.

THE KIDDIE-CORNER | AKA: LISTENING IN FROM BEHIND THE COUCH

[crossespurpose]

[Officially now part of suite nine, Colin had been listening in from the beginning since well--his opinion was it was his common room as well now and asides, Midnighter had not said anything about him nor had he made a move to shoo him away so in turn, he didn't, he simply remained behind the couch while all the others sat around and spoke. He was listening, that much was sure as quietly to anyone in the immediate group no one knew of what he was capable and well, nor did Colin at this moment but he was also in a momentary state of contentment still not knowing that his only true friend and partner in crime, Damian, had been placed on the list of terminations. So, quietly he listened but feigned disinterest as he and his makeshift companion Rory II made base behind the couch and kept busy drawing in a small notebook.

It was the least he could do to at least pretend he was not paying attention to what was being said.]

(little later)

[notaspeedyhobo]

[Tommy needs a few minutes to cool down. He doesn't believe there's any peaceable way to deal with the Joker, doesn't really care if 'peaceable' means innocents might get hurt. So he takes his leave from the discussions to flop on the floor beside Colin and offer him a smile, nature always much more gentle when it comes to kids.]

Hey kiddo. How's it going?

[crossespurpose]

[He's heard of the Joker, he knows of him from his home-world but he says nothing when he's brought up throughout the conversations. Listening as he scrawls away at the paper in front of him he pauses and tenses slightly when he hears approaching footsteps. He knows very little of the people that have showed up, but when he looks up and see's Tommy he seems to relax slightly and lean more against the couch where he sits with Rory II.] Fine.

[He turns back to his drawing.] Midnighter moved me in here last week.

[notaspeedyhobo]

[Tommy raises an eyebrow slightly at that. Midnighter moved him in here? Huh, that's kind of sweet. It must be a little awkward for Colin that they were just both arguing for the Joker's repeated assassination, though.] Did he? That's nice of him. He been looking after you?

[Despite the tension in the room, he can still speak casually, and lean against the back of the sofa. Tommy digs into his jeans pocket and pulls out a couple of the hard candies he carries around sometimes, handing one over to Colin and unwrapping the other for himself.]

The Quiet (Time Out) Corner [Aka: other side of the common room.]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Clearly the tensions are running high, which is no surprise really, and it's making everyone touchy and twitchy. Thus, Raven is over on the other side of the suite, deliberately being quiet and trying to calm down.

Feel free to join her, but she is meditating and trying to regain her center. Others are welcome to come be quiet and calm down too.]

[kryptonsson]

[Clark is like a kid when it comes to these kind of things. What is being quiet?]

Raven? Is everything alright?

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[No, that did not just make her eyebrow twitch...you imagined it, clearly.]

We know the answer to that already; no, everything is not alright. We're all fighting amongst ourselves instead of focusing on the larger threat.

[Surprisingly, her voice is calm. Very very calm. Just...be wary of poking.]

Thank you for checking, though, Superman.

[kryptonsson]

Well, of course. But I meant with you.

Are you alright? Do you need anything?

The "Punch/Lecture Roy for being an idiot" line starts here

[azhee_maii]

[If at any point, you would like to punch/lecture/demand explanations from Roy, this would be the place to do it.]

Hey Roy 8|b

[gingerbatgirl]

[This entire discussion is sort of getting out of control. Everyone is stressed and that's never a good thing. So she'll just remove herself from the arguing and flop down next to Roy. At least he's quiet]

Hey Babs

[azhee_maii]

[This means she's not gonna punch him again, right? He leans over to mutter to her.]

This is almost as bad as some Titans team meetings.

[gingerbatgirl]

[Maybe. She makes no promises. She just rolls her eyes as she tucks some of her hair behind her ear]

This is why I work alone. [People be dumb] This arguing isn't going to help us handle the Joker.
