Gotham City Docks

[Skuld HJG]

The Gotham Docks is one of Gotham City's primary freight docks located at the mouth of Miller Harbor in Cape Carmine; the southern peninsula of the city's East End district.

The entire peninsula is one of the primary territories of the Gotham City Organized Crime Family and as such the docks are infamously known for bringing in illicit materials and other illegal substances.

[Enter Nightshade, Crystal Lasill, Jinx and Diamondback from The Batcave]

Quietly, Nightshade guided the Batboat to the southern part of Gotham's Docks. Before getting within visual range of the commercial harbor, the crimefighter had eased back on the throttle. The powerful motorboat could barely be heard even by those onboard. The occupants could feel the soft mumble of the engines however. Des carefully and slowly maneuvered the dark boat under the southmost pier, and tethered a few lines to the solidly built supports to the long pier to keep the breaking waves from pushing the motorboat about. Once the Batboat has been secured, Nightshade turns toward the dark haired catgirl to his side whispering, "Alright, text your Cajun friend. Tell that we're under Pier 14. Also tell him to make sure that he isn't being followed. No need for being careless..."

Here we go!

Crystal nodded, pulling out her cellphone.

[text: Cajun sugar] Hey. We're UNDER pier 14. Loose any tails ya got and make sure you're not obvious coming in.

She put the phone away and nodded to Nightshade once more. "Done and done. So all we got left ta do is wait fer him and then we find the boat and board, right?" She kept her voice low, not wanting to draw undue attention.

This was a drastic change from earlier, though. As in the cave her voice was naturally loud and echoed heavily in the cavern. Here she was as quiet as a mouse and it seemed to come to her much more naturally.

Nightshade slowly nodded and whispered back in a hushed baritone, "Yes, we should be able to get to the Il Duce within a half-hour. Fortunately, she's out of direct sight of Gotham. We'll catch up with the ship after we go around the horn. When we catch up to the ship, I want you to pick someone and go directly to the bridge. Knock out everyone there. Then you and your partner of choice will have direct control of the bridge and engineering from there. Just make sure that you disable the radio. We don't need these guys calling for help. I also checked out that whatever cellphone the goons may have are out of cell tower range."

After a pause, the veteran crimefighter continued, making sure that everyone could hear him, "Meanwhile the rest of us will make a beeline to the hold to get at the hidden cargo.

Crystal looked up when her ears picked up the sound of footsteps. A smile quickly formed on her face, knowing that voice all too well. "I'll be right back." She whispered to the others in the boat as she climbed up.

She placed her arms folded on the edge of the pier, only her shoulders and up visible to the man standing there. "Well hey there, good lookin. What's a sweet, southern thang like ya doin in a place like dis?" She grinned from ear to ear as she teased Arell.

While Nightshade waited on Crystal to bring Arell down under the shadowy pier where the BatBoat was, Jinx distributed a couple of radiation detector cards to Nightshade, Diamondback and herself, "Here you go. The big computer at the cave did note that at least one of the subjects seemed to emit a low level of ... what did it say it was..." Roshni pulled out her Titan's Communicator which had downloaded information on the mission and glanced on the white text on a black screen, "... Oh yeah, it said one of the AIM 'projects' emitted a low level of gamma radiation."

"Gamma radiation, huh?" Tawny replied as she took the card. "If AIM's messing around with that, it's not a good sign. Gamma rads can be harmful, depending on how 'low' the radiation actually is or not. So... Let's try to be careful, 'kay? Kay."

Nightshade chuckled as both Arell and Crystal got in the boat, "Oh yeah, parking's murder in this town. Take a seat, it'll take us about ten to fifteen minutes to get out to the Il Duce. Take a look at either Crystal's or Jinx's PDA to look over the mission specs. We're stopping a shipment to the Roman and doing a rescue."

After Catgirl and 'Gator Man' sat down in the boat, Nightshade revved up the quiet engine -- Nightshade noted that the beam from the lighthouse just passed by their location before maneuvering the BatBoat out from under the pier and out into the dark bay. Jinx stuck close to Diamondback speaking so that only she could hear, "Yeah, I think ... This is almost beginning to sound like ... Like something I.O. would have done.... God, what the hell is wrong with this world?"

Crystal dropped down with Arell with a wide grin on her face. She gave a small giggle and leaned against the other Cajun's shoulder as they road off. "Gosh I've missed you. How have ya been?" Her tail flicked about behind her.

Though it stopped moving so sporadically when she heard Jinx speak. Her ears flicked a bit as she picked up her words. "Everything, doll. There ain't nothing right with this world. Though with how much there is wrong, I don't think I'd want to go back home at this point." She smiled at them. "There'd be way too many people that I'd miss."

He'd spent days searching for his friend. Everyone back home was in an uproar looking for the young blond haired daughter of Captain America. Theories that she had been captured by Hydra had been starting to form when Kevin took matters into his own hands and slipped out of his universe to look through all the comics it had. But it was no use. She wasn't in any of the following issues. No one had found her. But how could that be...

It wasn't until he picked up an his newest DC issued comic that he'd finally found his friend.

Kevin never thought he'd find her here... In Gotham... A completely different universe. How she even got here he didn't know. He'd thought he was the only one in his universe who could come and go from universe to universe. Regardless, he'd jumped right into the comic pane from behind the fourth wall, determined to find out why she was there.

Kevin appeared in silence, seated on the very stern of the boat as the others talked among themselves in hushed voices. No one had noticed the Asian male as the boat eased its way towards a guarded yacht on the other side of the bay... No one noticed, until he opened his mouth. "Damn, girl. You get bored of me that much that you had to cheat on our entire universe?" He'd give a small scoff and cross his arms over his chest. "And to think, I shared my pudding cup with you," he said with playful spite. Tanya would recognize that voice, it was distinct; Only Kevin had that voice.

Tawny was about to respond to Jinx, or was at least thinking of what to say, when she stopped cold. That voice... She _knew_ that voice!

She whipped around, eyes wide, and saw herself looking to Kevin Wilson, one of her teammates in the Young Avengers. "Kevin?!" she demanded, flabbergasted, but trying to keep quiet. "Holy crapbaskets! How-- Wh-- How are you even here?!" she hissed, then she stopped.

"Never mind. Uh, look, Kevin, this is Jinx, Nightshade, Nohbbody, and... Uh, sorry sir, I don't think we've met. I'm Diamondback, this is my teammate Kevin-- call him Salamander."

She paused and looked to Kevin again. "Listen Kev, we're in the middle of an op right now. Get in here and we'll try to fill you in as much as possible, 'kay?"

Jinx's head snapped in complete wide cat-eyed surprise, as she almost jumped out of the bat-themed motorboat, "पवित्र शिव!!! क्या इस मल-बाल्टी!?!" From the exclamation, Nightshade had snapped around quickdrawing his modified Mauser. Immediately, Dr. Powell realized that Diamondback seemed to know this young man who had suddenly appeared seated in the BatBoat. Under the mask, the doctor turned vigilante had a confused expression -- but no one else could see this. Just as quickly, Nightshade eased the hammer back on his Mauser and holstered the weapon, "Sorry about that. Wasn't expecting anyone else to 'drop in.' Diamondback... It would have been nice, if you told us a friend of yours was showing up to assist. This could have turned out really bad..."

Cute intro. Oh FYI... The DC and Marvel Universe (Numbers not provided, that's up to Misty) here are merged as one from a very powerful extra-dimensional being called X put them together and played with it. smile

 

[Crystal Lasill]

Crystal smelled something and lifted her head when the person appeared, though she couldn't make out that it was that close, nor that it was another human, being in such close proximity with the other people in the boat. Not till he spoke, that is. With a loud yelp and jump she spun around and hissed, baring her teeth and showing off her sharp canines. Her cat ears laid back flat against her head, ready to pounce.

She slightly relaxed when she realized Diamondback knew the boy. "Bajeebus Christ, boy. Let a cat know when yer just gonna pop right on in. Ya nearly gave meh a heart attack wit all ah dat." Her Cajun accent was thick from the near panic attack.

"T'is nice ta meet cha, shug. Dis is Arell." She thumbed at the male Cajun sitting next to her. "We're goin after a shipment from AIM ta Da Roman. Not sure 'bout da origin of everythin in dere but we got at least two livin weapons ah some sort." She wasn't gonna hand her tablet to this boy that just scared the wits out of her.
