James "Jim" Gordon
I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?
In the new renovated Gotham City Police Department, renovations funded by Wayne Corp., James had pulled his coat tightly around himself as he gripped his fresh mug of coffee. He ascended the steps one of the Male officers opened the door for Jim nodding a hello. He was still half asleep as James walked past him towards the main conference room of the building. The floors were clean of debris that had been common the past few weeks as he smiled at the Secretary before entering the room.
"Good morning everyone! How was your weekend?" He asked getting several responses from the fellow officers that were fully awake. He began to write on the white board in green marker as he went over the events of last night which were pretty timid by Gotham standards.
Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you
Barbara "Babs" Gordon
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Barbara had used her hand to swat off the alarm that was causing her undue annoyance as she shook Grayson's sleeping form beside her. She glanced at the clock rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she pried herself from the bed to preform her regular morning rituals. She had been wearing her long sleeved shirt as she stumbled into the kitchen as she poured Ace his kibble as she opened the glass door in the kitchen so he can do his business before chowing down. The red head then flicked on the coffee pot the aroma filling the air to help her wake up even though she made her way to the closet pulling out her clothes for the day. Babs began to humm as she headed straight for the bathroom to get ready.
About half an hour later she was back into the kitchen cooking breakfast for the two of them before her work trip to Gotham. The smell of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast filled the air of the home. Barbara began to set the table while she caried a mug of coffee to wake herself up. Her heels clicked on the ground as she made herway from one side of the table to the other setting things down.
Cause I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Lois Lane
Meanwhile in Metropolis
Lois had managed to wake up earlier then usual as she dressed up for work. She work her hair down as she grabbed her purse and headed out the door. Lois made her way down the stairs as she made it her mission to head to the coffee shop. 'I need to get him coffee today..' She though to herself as she reached the coffee shop. The line outside was outrageous as she tapped her foot impatiently as the line slowly moved. She reached the end quickly placing an order for two coffees and a box of doughnuts to take to the office. She quickly took the carrier and box towards the Daily Planet. A feeling of relief that her mini mission for the day was complete as she pushed her way through to get to the elevator. The doors opened as she managed to squeeze in pressing the button to the top floor. The doors opened once again as a smirk spread to her lips. "Hey, Jimmy help me with this." She said handing the box to him as she walked off with the coffees. She sat one on Clark's desk and kept the other one for herself as she plopped down in her seat.
"So what's with the coffee for Clark?" Asked an inquisitive Jimmy Olsen setting the box on Lois's desk as he opened it plucking a doughnut for himself.
Lois's eyes narrowed as she took a sip from her coffee as she reached for a doughnut for herself. "What are you saying Jimmy? I can't buy Kent a coffee just because?" She asked.
Jimmy smiled as he walked away. "Oh just wondering is all.. See ya later Lois."
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Hello my friend, we meet again
It's been a while, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Kendra Saunders-Hawkgirl
Since the events of Valentine's day Kendra had managed to keep herself busy with monitoring activity from the satellite. She had been scrolling through several news reports trying to keep busy. She rose up from her seat and made her way towards her room. She had her comm link on just in case someone urgently needed her as she watched the doors slide open as she flopped on to her bed.
Cause when you are with me, I'm free
I'm careless, I believe
Above all others, we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
