Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I have," Joker said, almost to himself. He had remembered the errand he had run for Gossamer, and the method of entry used by... "...Shadow Spider..."

[enter the Mad Hatter from Arkham Asylum]

Jervis got back into the city, and into a nearby alley. There, he got back into his more traditional costume, and took off the fedora that granted him sanity. "MUCH better," the Hatter mused, now once again his usual self. Putting that hat back in his bag and putting on his normal hat, he left the alley and began putting the rest of his plan into motion.

"GAH!" The clown yelped as he flew through glass, landing on the cement. Getting up again, he brushed himself off, saying, "How many times am I going to say this in this guild? Watch the jacket!"

The darkness in Shadow's eyes finally became visible on her face. Still nothing. Not the street, not the buildings, no where. He was gone. He was right there and she...

The shadows in the building suddenly burst to life, lifting off the ground and demolished any bit of furniture they could grasp. Almost crazed, they shot throughout the building, back out onto the street, clearly...if possible...enraged.
Suddenly all of the shadows stopped completely.

Shadow stared down the street, her angered look gone, and now more of a worried one. Another shadow that she had been keeping an eye on suddenly caught her attention. Blood had just been spilled on it. Her blood. She glanced down another street and stared at it for a moment.
Rosie...?

At that moment, a very shrill scream echoed down that very street. Shadow immediately sank into her shadow and raced off towards the line of stores Rosie was at.
Joker was gone anyway, there was no point in trying to find him. Worse came to worse...she knew where he lived.

"Do YOU want to go back and get him?" Deathstroke asked coldly, "With NO kryptonite? Maybe if we ask nicely, Superman will just let us grab him," he added sarcastically.

"Very helpful," Deathstroke said through gritted teeth, "It retrospect."

((Exit Deathstroke to Metropolis.

In other news, Elesariin has a brain the size of a walnut. Carry on, citizens!))

((*Slaps forehead* Um... Sorry. I'm going to edit and have them exit to Metropolis. So very brain dead... ))

A moment or two later, Shadow Spider suddenly arose from a shadow and looked down at a small red-head girl. Rosie was curled up in the corner of...from the look of the clothes on the floor around her, a clothing store. Two large shopping bags tucked beside her, and blood sprayed across the floor and up her dress. If it wasn't clear that she was terrified from the look on her face, it was made obvious when she suddenly jumped up and clung to Shadow's legs. Much like she had after she was left with Reaper the first time. Instinctively, she bent down and wrapped a comforting arm around her.
Rosie didn't appear to be hurt, so that was some one else's blood. She already knew when it hit Rosie's shadow that it was her own blood. Or to be more acurate, Sapphire's blood. She looked away from the corner and out into the store more. There was a long path of flung and destroyed clothing, but none near the corner. The clothes that were on the floor must have been what whoever was with her was going to get. Some of the clothes were charred or being sprayed by employees. Alex was here too.
After a moment, she looked back to Rosie, and tried to speak as gently as she could. "Rosie. Rosie, are you alright?"

"I-I'm ok. I'm not hurt. Bu-but Misty...she's..." she tried to answer, but was apparently too shook up still.

"It's alright. I'm here. What happened? Where is Misty?"

"We...we just got done getting new clothes. We were going to go to the movies next, but Misty stopped in front of a dress. Alex convinced her to go try it on, so she went to the back. Then there was a lot of banging noises, and Misty flew out into the middle of the store. A...a...I don't know. A guy with a black costume and spikey green armor jumped out from the back too and attacked her. Alex jumped in to help Misty, but he batted her away. Misty tried to get away and get out of the store, but he wouldn't let her. He-he cut her with one of his spikes and then pinned her to the wall. He was...he was gonna kill her. Alex got back up and attacked him with fire, but it didn't do very much. He-he grabbed Misty and busted through the roof. Alex told me to stay here and she went after them."

Spikes...only going after Misty? "Did he say anything?"

"N-no. He was going on about he was really going to do it this time. She'd lived long enough. Time to pay her back for what she'd done to him."

That sounded like Riku alright. "Alrigh, come on. Let's pick up your things and we'll get you back to...back to Warp.

Rosie looked up at her. "What about Misty? He cut her belly. If she bleeds too much..."

"He'll watch you while I find Misty, okay? Don't worry. I can find her easily. I want to make sure you're safe, alright?" she said as she picked her up.
Rosie replied by nodding into her shoulder.
Shadow wrapped a few strands of her webbing around the bags and the clothes on the ground, then slipped herself and the bags into one of her shadows.

Something red was blinking on the screen of Terry's viewfinder. Looking closer, he saw that it was a sentence. Specifically a sentence that read: 'Debilitating bloodless detected. Calling Batmobile for pickup.' Good luck with that, he thought dryly. Right about then, he noticed that another alarm was going off... the one he'd set up to inform him of trouble in Arkham. Great.

"Or I could leave and get someone else to patch me up, hopefully with something that would involve stitches instead of heat vision," he replied coolly, "The latter of which, by the way, would probably push me over the edge and into shock. I can't afford the delay, and if I can't, you definitely can't. You have more important things to be doing than interrogating yet another kid in a bat costume. So go do them." With that, he turned and walked out.

There had been a tunnel around here in his time... somewhere... One of the older ones. It probably was completed in the current time, if just barely. This was giving him a headache... Well, that combined with blood loss and the fact that Superman was probably NOT going to let it go at that.
