"I've run into Chaos, Rapture, Blackstone, and Warp." Alex replied, her tone dropping when she mentioned Blackstone. "I've only been here about a day. I was just about to go in and buy some new threads and find a place to stay." she continued, pointing towards the shop behind her.
A car suddenly appeared on the on the road, seemingly out of no where. It continued to drive about a foot or two, then abruptly stopped. The driver got out of the car and looked around, clearly confused. Alex looked at the car a moment, then down the direction it should have came from. There were red and blue lights flashing a good couple blocks down...but it didn't appear to be police or anything like that. Warp?
"You two either stay here or come with me." Alex said, glancing down at the two girls, then quickly headed down the street towards the scene.
"P...poison..." Warp struggled to say. Symptoms were getting worse. Convulsions were getting worse and he was having trouble breathing now. And without being able to controle his powers, he couldn't reverse the poison or whatever the clown slipped them, and no one could get close enough "Ca...can't...controle..."

Batman thought fast. Or tried to. This would normally be the part where the old man walked him through this, step by step. Since he didn't have that... He'd just have to improvise. "Are your powers consciously or unconsciously controlled?" he called. If the man didn't answer, he'd just have to take his best shot and hope that he wasn't messing things up.

"Alright, come on then." Alex called back as she hurried down the street. They should be able to keep up with her, but she still didn't go for a full sprint. Couldn't with her broken boots anyway. Didn't matter, she arrived at the scene quicker than she thought she would. Block wasn't as far as it looked. From what she could see, it was definately Warp's powers, but...none of it made sense. Everything was chaotic. Something was wrong. A moment or two later she finally found Warp and the man in black she had seen before. "Oh my...what happened? What's wrong with him?"
Warp again struggled to reply, but things were getting worse very quickly, and he was begining to loose conciousness as well.

Batman set his jaw. Alright. He'd just have to take a stab at it, then. Pulling out a small, futuristic-looking injection device filled with silvery liquid, he took a step forward... And then stopped, surprised, and looked back at Alex. "I think he's been poisoned," he replied shortly. "Stay back. And... Keep an eye on me if I go senile, will you?" Without waiting for a response he started walking forward quickly, not wanting to have time to notice what was happening to him... if anything was. Was his costume getting a bit, larger? Picking up the pace, he reached the man's side, knelt, and injected him. They were nanites, specifically programed to read DNA and then dispose of any foreign substances in the body.
Only then did he look down at himself. He looked like a kid wearing his dad's suit... A kid... "OH, this is NOT--!" He cut himself off, because his voice was a kid's as well. This wasn't happening; this wasn't happening!

Well, it's not senile, but this was something she needed to step in on. Quickly, she knelt down and charged towards the two men...erm, man and boy. She carefully grabbed him and sprang over Warp and onto the side of a close building. Her claws shot out of one hand and dug into the brick, which she used to thrust herself up the wall and latch onto the edge of the building. She pulled herself and the boy onto the roof, thinking this was far enough away from Warp while his powers were on the friz. She had to catch her breath a moment though. That seemed a bit harder than it usually did. Wasn't a tall building either. "What...what was that?" she asked, catching her breath.
Sapphire slowly began to stir, waking up to find her head resting on Vandal's chest. She gently moved her head to see a clock on a nearby dresser. It was still that early? She didn't get much sleep at all. Then again, she had no idea what time she actually fell asleep. Either way, she felt like she had all the rest she needed. She glanced up at Savage, still asleep, and smiled slightly. Well, this was not something she normally would have done...yet she had no complaints what so ever. Best night she had in a long time. Mm...stomach felt a little odd though. Really odd. Something didn't agree with her maybe? She was hungry too. Really hungry. And...ah, bathroom. Too much brandy earlier. Very carefully, she slid herself away from Savage and off of the bed. Didn't want to wake him up. Wait, where was her robe? Really dark in this room without the lights. Not on the floor. Where did she...ah, over there. She send a few of her strands over too it and picked it up, moving it back over too her so that she could slip it on. One she did, she headed for the bathroom. Wow, back hurt too. Guess they had a little too much fun last night. Still, she could roll off aches and pain pretty well, so she ignored it and carefully made her way through the dark rooms until she found the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

"No idea," he muttered distractedly. The mask was too big on him and was obscuring his vision... What was he going to do? He was NOT wearing the Robin costume, that was for sure. Pulling off the mask to reveal the face of a young boy-- about 8 or 9-- with serious, pale blue eyes and mussed black hair. As he continued pulling off the rest of his overlarge costume, he turned his attention back to Alex. "Do you know him?" he asked, indicating the fallen man with a tilt of his chin.

"Y-yeah, sort of." she replied, still a little surprised to see him as a kid. "He's from my world. He can manipulate time and movement." she continued. "But...he, he was fine about ten minutes ago. Taking a little girl home."

"Well, clearly, he's not any more," he replied dryly. It sounded very odd in his childish voice. "The nanites should purge his system completely in another second or two." ... And then he would be able to find out if getting back to his proper age was an option.

Nanites? Never heard of such a thing. Must have been something just from his world.
After a moment, Warp's convulstions began to die down, and the powers that were sent sparadically died as well. Soon the powers stopped completely. Once they did, Alex glanced down at him a moment, then turned back to the boy. "Safe to go back down now." Shouldn't be that hard to get back down. Just use her claws and slide down.

He flushed slightly, obviously embarrassed... Which wasn't exactly surprising, considering that he was nine years old and holding up the lower part of an overlarge costume. "Could you...?"

Alex couldn't help but smile slightly. "Sure, you just hold onto your costume." she replied as she carefully wrapped and arm under both his arms. Then she slid herself over the side, rather than jumping, and dug her claws into the side of the building. The two began to slide down the side of it at a safe speed, and quickly reached the ground. Alex hit the ground, much harder than usual it seemed, and sat the boy down. Should't have been that hard of a landing. Oh, she didn't get hit with something...did she? Her hands weren't wrinkled or anything. Then again, he could do internal stuff as well. Maybe her muscles aged rather than her outer appearance.
