The First Night - Fool's Errands [Action]

[cowledcrusader]

 [Earlier in the week, Bruce, or perhaps more properly, "Gaff", managed to find his Batsuit and equipment, hopefully before prying eyes discovered them.  Since then he had done minimal patrols around the village.

But today was different.  Previously unafflicted by the experiment, tonight Batman has been suddenly, and rather surprisingly hit with a

[The best thing about being made like Kurt is easily his nightvision.

Of course, the BAMFing isn't bad either.

But the nightvision is pretty cool too.

The house feeling somewhat claustrophobic, Rogue is out on the town this evening, still getting used to her new form and, well, bamfing on top of rooftops.

This will clearly go completely unnoticed by Luceti's local patrols. >>]

[cowledcrusader]

[Clearly. Especially as Batman had arrived on this roof a second ago before someone poofed into existence here. He's a little surprised at first but he's still in the shadows, watching.]

[onebluebabe]

[Rogue scampers on all fours to the end of the roof and throws herself off, only to cling with her hands and feet to the nearby lamppost.

She's getting much better at this, but it still feels unnatural.]

[cowledcrusader]

[Batman follows over and observes Rogue's acrobatics. Quite impressive. Looks like another person who had been affected by the experiment.

But that's a very strange set of powers this person has. Not that he has room to talk, as he can hear her breathing like she was standing next to him.]

[asimplereason]

[You're not the only one flying tonight, Batman. On her way back from the smithy Winry decides to stretch some more of her Martian powers and fly back to the house. Let's hope there's not a collision.

ooc: Switching to normal journal after this comment.]

[cowledcrusader]

[The flight for him is barely controlled and something he entered into almost on accident. But when he sees another person in the air, he quickly shifts away, creating a near miss.

...Hey Winry. Was that a giant bat?]

[crytearsofjoy]

[The close call breaks Winry's concentration, and causes her to take a dive. Thankfully her new body doesn't really let her take any physical damage. After putting a nice sized dent in the ground the girl stands up to brush herself off. She turns to frown at whatever she almost collided with. If it was Terry she swears she going to-]

Hey, watch where you're going!

[1/2]

[cowledcrusader]

[The wraith-like bat figure halts its flight when Winry takes a dive. He flinches as he sees her crash into the ground and he mentally scolds himself for not being in control. After all, Superman could've moved fast enough to intercept her before she even hit the ground, but then...

She stands up.]

[cowledcrusader]

[Sup kid. There's this guy watching you from above on another building in the shadows. He's being his normal creeper self. The kid looks like he's planning on breaking in, but hasn't taken any action to do so yet...

Still. Best nip this one in the bud. So, have a seemingly disembodied voice speak to you, kid.]

Wouldn't do that if I were you.

[cowledcrusader]

[And he leaps down from a nearby building, lands, and straightens up to his full height. 6'2'', and built like a tank. Also. The goddamn Batman with a voice that just screams "I'm not messing around."]

I did.

[godbent]

[You know, the funny thing about being Kryptonian is even when someone is being a ninja and even if they are one too, you can still hear them. And then immediately turn to see them. She hasn't figured out flight though - hell she might not even be able to fly. So when she sees a giant bat out of the corner of her vision

Is that the one guy or someone else? Either way, from the roof of her house-]

Hey, Batman!

[cowledcrusader]

[Spotted? By a teenage girl? ...This almost feels like a new low. But the positive thing is he's able to pinpoint her right away in return and glance over to her in reply from the next roof over.

He sees you too, Haruhi. But his body language to your super-sight would probably say he doesn't remember you.]

[godbent]

[...Huh. that hearing is good too - he was able to pinpoint her way fast. To test something, she drops her voice to a conversational tone; there should be no way that a human could clearly hear her from that far off. The lack of recognition is odd and- the mask makes it hard to tell but he looks somewhat different too. Younger? Older? One of those two, maybe]

You're not the young one with the red wings.

[cowledcrusader]

[He could hear her. Clearly. The one with red wings. That's puzzling. There had been talks of another Batman... was it really him from before, or was it this red winged crusader?

...Either way, he doesn't react to the statement visibly, though he draws closer to his edge of the roof.

What Haruhi probably doesn't know is Batman is an accomplished lip-reader, even if he couldn't hear her.]
