In Opal City...

May 23, 2005 13:13

The JLA transporter delivers Dinah Lance (in civvies) and her companion (the aforementioned blind black man) to the coordinates Oracle supplied, one assumes where Jack is to be meeting them. The companion, whom one assumes is "OracleBoy", looks like he may need to sit down a moment. Bit...green around the gills, let's say.

shade, black canary, starman jack knight, kip blackwell

The coordinates deposit them in an alley way, around the corner from a small mom and pop style convience store called "Opal City Market" one block from City Hall.

Jack can be seen through the store window inside holding a cardboard tray of coffee cups, with a cardboard box on the counter. He's chatting up the older man behind the counter.

Dinah tugs on Kip's sleeve.

C'mon--I'll introduce ya to the guy with the rod.

_kip_ May 23 2005, 10:40:02 UTC

Lead on. Just...take it a bit slow, OK?

* Kip smiles at Dinah, clearly amused at his reaction to the teleportation, but he's also trying to get his bearings. *

See, this is why Oracle asked me to be your guide, rather than the Flash. Love the guy, but he's not exactly set to 33-1/3, y'know?

She lets him take her arm, then walks slowly into Opal City Market.

Hey, Jack--I got some Turtles Pez dispensers to sell ya.

Shadow erupts from a dark corner, growing and expanding, and then recedes, revealing the Shade.

Jack, my apologies for the intru -

Hm. I see you have other guests.

_black_canary_ May 23 2005, 16:53:37 UTC

You could say that.

Ah! The lovely miss Lance. Always a pleasure. I believe the last time we met was during the last time the Secret Society of Super-Villains took on the Justice League, wasn't it?

...the Secret Society of Super-Villains... who came up with that name...

She shrugs.

Got me. If I spent much time making fun of stupid villain names, it would interfere with the whole victory thing.

* In the silence that follows the Shade's departure, Kip retakes his seat, places his chin on the top of his cane, and ponders. *

Well...I guess you can't expect someone like that to be all sunshine, can you? Want me to get back to my place, get to work? Won't take long...you two can come with me if you want. Save some time.

* He grins in Dinah's direction. *

C'mon, you barely saw the place last time.

"Actualy, that was fairly typical behavior for him. At least he didn't bore us with stories of drinking with Oscar Wilde or anything like that... You've got my number, and I'll make sure that my cell phone is turned on. Let me know when you get some information for us."

Jack stands up and is about to leave when he stops and heads back to the table.

"Hey Orion, thanks a lot. He may be a cryptic some time villain, but he's a decent guy. Well, for a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains that is..."

_kip_ May 24 2005, 06:38:08 UTC

Kip proffers a hand in Jack's direction. "It's an honor to get to know you, Jack. I hope you know you can call on me for anything you think I can do. My programming and research foo are mighty."

He winks. Cheerful guy.

_black_canary_ May 24 2005, 09:07:30 UTC

No wonder Oracle hired you.

Take care, Jack. Say hi to your dad for me, huh? Hopefully you guys'll show up for the Memorial Day picnic or something.

Ready to get beamed back home, Orion?
