"Definate drama. Hm. Actually, being on a team so long...feels a little odd with everyone missing." Alex said, looking back at the two a moment. Satisfied that Shadow was going to pull through, and probably with the same poise she usually had, she turned her attention back to the little red-head. She seemed much more relaxed, but still troubled. Very troubled.

Batman crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall, "Who else is usually here?" he asked.

"Oh, quite a few." Alex replied. "Arachnis, Sapphire, Salem, Snow, Aqua, Jove, Glitter..." she began, not really realizing that half of them she was calling by their nicknames rather than their full titles. "And quite a few newer people that joined..." she said, then suddenly trailed off. "Um...but they, uh, didn't say very long."

((Is okay. It's late.))
He looked down. He was pretty sure he knew exactly what she meant. "That would be another reason not to do team-ups," he put in noncommittally. Frowning, he turned his eyes toward Rosie. You would think she'd start calming down, now that the woman's conscious.... But she wasn't... Well, she'd had a traumatizing day... which he'd been mostly responsible for. Poor kid. She was no angel-- he no longer had any illusions about that-- but the heart wrenching guilt on her little face wasn't something that you could fake. Period.

After another few moments, Shadow tried to get up, then grunted and fell back into Warp's arms. A sudden sharp pain in her knee. Forgot about that.
"...sorry..." Rosie said quietly.
Shadow glanced over at her a moment, then gave her a very small smile. "You dindn't do anything honey." she replied. "Nothing Warp here can't fix anyway." she said, glancing back up at him.
Rosie looked at her and him a moment, then down at the ground.

Terry really wanted to comfort her, but something told him that she didn't want the guy who'd threatened her. Go figure. This whole thing was ridiculous. He was done; they were safe. Everything was fine. He ought to just leave and get back to patrolling.

"Alright..." Alex said with a bit of a sigh. "Everything seems fine now considering. What do we do now? Stay here? See what we can do about her missing leg?"
The silence and awkwardness was starting to bug her. Needed to at least get some kind of conversation or something going again.
Rosie glanced up at Alex, then over at Shadow and her leg. After a moment, she looked back down at the ground, then over at the doors and windows around.
Shadow was alright. Warp was alright. Everyone was alright. So...now...she just needed to get back again. Things should be alright there now...

Batman, appearing to take this as his cue to leave, stood up straight and started walking out.

"I...I don't know what we can do about her leg. I could try, but..." Warp replied.
"Alright, then anyone have a place to stay, or are we crashing here for a while?" Alex asked, then glanced back at Batman as he appeared to leave.
"No." Warp replied.
"I might be able to get us a place." Shadow replied. She moved a shadow in the corner a bit, and a large meal briefcase emerged from it.
"I'm not even about to ask...because I really don't want to know." Alex said, sounding a tad annoyed.
Shadow gave her a small grin, and tried to stand again.
Warp helped Shadow to her feet, and glanced over at Batman as he appeared to leave. "Thanks." he mumbled.
Rosie glanced back over at Batman as he left, then back over at the exits a moment.
Something beside Batman made a metalic sound, like a chain.

"You're welcome," he responded calmly. "Thank you for turning me back before I got stuck in one of the sidekick costumes." Abruptly, his fist shot outward toward the source of the sound, cracking with electricity. Whoever it was, the suit hadn't picked them up, which meant they weren't there... exactly. He actually sort of assumed that it was Gossamer doing her mist thing.

"Tisk. Now, now. I haven't done anything yet." Vice's voice said with a bit of an amused tone. He made himself visible again, Batman's fist going straight through his chest. "Really love phasing." he said with a small smile.

Batman stared for a long second, then quickly pulled his hand out. The electricity switched off, and he crossed his arms again. "I can see why. Was there something you wanted?" he asked, sounding annoyed. Was this guy going to turn into one of those crazy stalker people who followed you around and based all of their criminal enterprises on taking you down? Not naming any names(cough-JokerShriekStalkerCuraré-cough). That happened way too often. He was sick of it.

"Wanted...to be honest, not really. Just curious." he replied. "Not very often I meet someone that doesn't instantly have a mood swing when they're around me." he said, then took a glance over at the others in the room with a bit of a malicious grin. "At least three people in here that could very well instanly snap should something be brought up, or I get much closer to them. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't already." And if they didn't, he could easily manipulate it out of them.

His eyes narrowed. So that was why he felt like.... "Oh, I think I did," he said in a low, cold voice, "I'm just good at controlling my emotions. Or, to be more accurate, at not letting them influence my actions. Years of practice. Happy now?" Well. A year, anyway. He paused, and then reluctantly added. "And... could you take a few steps back from Alex, please?" She was enough of a powder keg already.

//huh...roomie's a night owl. Might be on late on fridays and saturdays mrgreen //
Vice's grin grew. "Wrath, I take it then." he said, moving as close to the wall as he could, and half phased through it. "And from the way the woman looks...and the man's reaction...I'd say they'd be prone to wrath at the moment as well. And I suppose I'd hate to leave the girl an orphan." he said, phasing through the wall completely. "Who is making her way out of the building while you're all focused on me...by the way."
Shadow turned her attention back around the room. Rosie was gone. Nowhere in the room. She wasn't...
