Alex stopped in her tracks when she heard Lucas call out to her. She spun around to face him, and wasn't sure if she felt relieved to see him or just more stressed out. Sure he survived a bullet to his forhead, a rock through his chest, and taking on a hulking beast. But......Shadow could handle quite a bit too. And she was killed....rather easily.
"Nothing good. We came here to investigate those invites. So far Shadow's been killed, Joker's demanding some woman named Gossamer, and anyone that goes into or opens a building has had some serious trouble. I've been on a rooftop with Sapphire for most of it, I have no idea what anyone else has been doing. But....Sapphire just disappeared. I need to find her before she get's killed."" Alex replied.

The news hit Lucas hard, and he blinked. "Roxanne's dead? How? What happened?" he demanded, taking Alex's hands in his own. "Dammit... I'm so sorry, Alex... I wish I could've been here earlier. Maybe I could have stopped it. Misty disappeared? Hang on..."
He sniffed the air, trying to detect Sapphire's scent. He couldn't, however, which thoroughly irritated him.

The first thing Roxanne noticed as she finally came to was the pain in her face and torso. It felt as though she had been laughing far to much. And her face....oh, it felt like it had been stretched out. She groaned and carefully rolled onto her side, then opened her eyes to try and get her bearings. The first thing she seen was the rooftop, then an unfamiliar woman in a blue and white costume.
"Might as well see what we can do. Restraining them would probably be best. We don't need anyone to get killed here." Hal replied.
Alex gave him a small smile. A...very small smile. "It's alright...Sapphire, Roxy and I kind of came out on our own." She wasn't about to get into how Roxy died or what happened. She still couldn't believe that she was too late to save her.

"Don't worry, dearie. I'm more than prepared for this. Like the two Birds out there could attest to, when facing me, be prepared to be dealt from the bottom of the deck," Joker said to Rosie.Contrary to Rosie's thoughts, he didn't grab the mic again; too chaotic. Better to allow Freeze and Croc go about their business uninterrupted.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Freeze simply lifted the gun to avoid losing it, and trusted his armor to absorb the rest of the impact, which it did. "You are a fool to fight me. Leave or die." Lowering the gun again, he fired at the ground to freeze RC's feet in place. Things would be easier to deal with if more people were incapacitated in such a manner. His goggles swtched to heat-detection, so that even if the shot missed, he could locate her again. Plus, it also allowed him to keep track of Arell. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Killer Croc was left reeling from all of the attacks he had been the target of. He was unbalanced, but still standing. "Why don't you just give up and die? I'm hungry!"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creeping up in the shadows, a little distance behind Sapphire Spider, a small but well-built man was watching, and sneaking up on her. One of his many knives were drawn, in his hand, hidden behind his back to prevent any glean or reflection from giving himself away. It had been a while since he'd liberated anyone, since killing all the zombies that Joker had given him. This person was the first he'd seen since. So little blood. His skin was itching, crawling; DEMANDING a new mark. SHE would be that mark. These thoughts swirlled through Victor Zsasz's head as he approached Sapphire Spider.

((Zsasz?! And Misty can't move? Oh dear Lord...))
"You're gonna have to work for your dinner, Croc!" Nightwing said, holding his staff at the ready.
Elasa smiled benignly at Roxanne, and held out her hand, offering to help the woman up. "Welcome back to the world of the living, ma'am. I am Elasa Atu'me, Blue Lantern of Sector 0005. I was the one who resuscitated you."
Carlie glanced to Hal and then to Freeze, who was battling RC and Arell. "Okay, so... You ready, Daddy?" she asked. Truth be told, she was beginning to feel nervous, even with-- no, because of-- her father's presence. He was here, which meant that he had chased her because he knew, to some extent, how much danger she would get in here. All Carlie had to go on were stories from her time and the old GCPD files. She was, once again, in over her head.
No fear... no fear... Carlie said in her mind, trying to calm herself down.
Lucas looked to Alex and frowned; she was avoiding his questions. Not good. He sniffed the air again, and this time smelled a familiar scent along with an unfamiliar one: Roxanne. She was alive. But how? He looked to Alex.
"Honey... I think Roxanne may not be as dead as you think..." Lucas said slowly. "I've got her scent. She's sending out pheromones. She's alive."
Back at the fights, Apex reloaded his pistol and said nothing even as d**k and Tim prepared to fight Croc. He was willing to taunt people-- when they actually did something utterly stupid in a fight. Now, however, was not the time to taunt an angry, hungry Killer Croc. So instead, he said but three words:
"Let's get dangerous."

Arell smirked as he took out a special case of shells. It was a crude box that had "Hot Stuff" crudely scrawled on the sides. After hustling to pickup his sawed-off, he loaded two of the shells, keeping moving as to not fall into Kai's predicament. Keeping calm, he looked over at Red Cardinal and smirked. "Stan' back, kid. I don't want you gettin' hit by dis." he said to Red Cardinal as he took careful aim. Despite the bleeding in his leg and keeping another eye on Red. Smirking as he took a puff on his cigarette. No need for flips and s**t when ya good a good iron. he thought, aiming carefully at Mr. Freeze, prepping the barrels. With calm mind and a steady hand, he looked at Red one last time, faced Freeze and pulled the trigger. K-THOOOM!((Unless Gotham is now in Florida or Illinois, it's completely legal . . . and toasty! However, just in case . . . this is what he used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon's_Breath))

((As far as I understand it would only catch things on fire and throw off heat vision or heat trackers))
Kai stopped the moment her feet had been frozen and turned to hear Arell. She smiled a little at the idea that he was actually calmer than before. She looked back at Fries and stuck her tongue out before leaping back away from him phasing her feet through the ice. She flipped a few times before landing in a crouch away from the flames of the gun.
"Arell! I need you to get him up against a wall. I can incapacitate him from there."
She glared back at the others and then watched Arell, ready to take his back if he appeared to need it or called for it. For now his suit was too strong for her to break alone, hand to hand combat could only go so far with her intangibility and her aura which is what protects her from being frozen.
((And there is the reason she wanted to fight Fries... cause she can't be frozen solid by his ice *tada*))

Arell smirked and nodded to RC. "Nice t' know we're on de same side on dis!" he growled and prepped the other barrel, hoping the force of the shotgun blasts would back him into a wall. Or at least damage him enough so Kai could get to work. He was surprised she even took the time to pronounce his name right . . . much less not insult him.
"Hey, kid! Reckon our buddy heah's got a frozen personality! Mind if'n I break de ice?" he joked, pulling the hammer back on the other barrel and opening fire on Mr. Freeze.
((That's as far as I get for now. Gotta stand back for CBJ.))

(( I appreciate it, Greasy. Thank you )) While the flames DID force him to deactivate his thermal vision so that he wouldn't be blinded, his suit protected him from any damage such short-lived flame could normally inflict. In any case, his suit automatically compensated for any possible later use of thermal weapons by lowering its internal temperature. "That will not work on me." Seeing that the ice that had caught Red Cardinal was empty, he decided to switch targets entirely, and fired at the barrel of Arell's gun. A human with no powers would be insubstantial in the outcome of this fight, but only if said human had no other weapons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Killer Croc smirked as best as his mutated, fanged mouth would allow, saying, "Ain't never been afraid of hard work." He leaped back to the mangled remains of the door that the truck had broken open, picked up the biggest piece that he could see, and hurled it at Robin and Nightwing.

Nightwing smoothly dove out of the way,, dragging Tim with him.
Apex, however, simply unsheathed one of his Promethium katanas and sliced the bit of the door that Croc had thrown in half before it could reach the other two. Croc wasn't the only being here that had super strength, Apexthought as well, and he intended to show that as soon as Croc got far enough away from the totalled truck.

Sapphire was unfortunately was in no position to do anything about the man sneaking up on her. She didn't have Spider-Man's sixth sense, so she couldn't tell anyone was behind her. And she still couldn't move. For whatever reason, Gossamer was holding her still in that position.
After a few moments, her head turned towards the right. She was....suddenly filled with the urge to start walking in that direction. Something about a particular building down that way. Though she still couldn''t seem to be able to move her feet.
Roxanne looked at the other woman for a moment before she got to her feet. Back to the land of.....oh......so she didn't make it. The clown had actually killed her?
Well....that was NOT going unpunished.
".....thank you." she replied quietly to the woman. The look in her eyes rather unsettling as she looked back at the Park.
Alex smiled and seemed to relax at the news. "Good....the woman was able to help her. We left her back on the rooftop with...a Blue Lantern who said she could try and bring her back. We both left before we could see how that turned out."
Rose smiled at him a bit and turned her attention back to all the different screens. The ones with the fights catching her attention the most. And....the guy sneaking up on Sapphire. It looked like she didn't have a clue there was a guy with a knife behind her.
Rosie's eyes rested on that screen in particular, and she curled her legs up to hug her doll tighter against her. As a child would watching a scary movie.

Joker saw Zsasz moving, and said to Rosie, "Best be careful watching that one, dear. He can be a nasty piece of work. Kinda wish we HAD had the time to put up some bugs out there, though; he can be quite the colorful talker."------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zsasz slowly managed to get right behind Sapphire. As soon as he was, he wrapped his free arm around her body, holding her against him, and simultaneiously brought his knife to her throat. "I just want you to know what I'm going to do to you, little zombie. I'm going to slit your throat wide open. I'm going to watch as the blood flies out, and runs down your front. I'm going to smile in your face as your attempts to breathe are rendered useless by the hole in your neck. And then I'm going to leave you here, liberated of your useless, pathetic, meaningless life."

((You got it, CBJ. Wouldn't want to take an advantage on it.))
Arell dodged the moment the blaster fired. It didn't do much to the gun, however, it did catch a brief part of Arell's hat. He got up and dusted himself off.
"Dat all ya got, ice p***k?" he growled. He had about as much ammo as he did bad ice jokes. He loaded two slugs, preparing to charge Mr. Freeze.
"Hey kid!" he shouted to RC. "Get ready to roll!" he growled, the linebacker-sized Cajun got down low, like he did years before on the line for football and charged, aiming for Mr. Freeze's head as he fired.
((I know, suicide run, tempting fate, my character's nuts, ect.))

"A... Blue Lantern? How many Lanterns are there?" Lucas asked Alex.
Elasa continued to smile, even as she sensed through her ring that Roxanne was geared toward revenge. She placed a hand on the woman's shoulder, and channelled her calming aura into Shadow Spider.
"Please, ma'am... Violence is not the answer. I understand that you feel anger toward whoever caused your death, but if you go charging blindly, you may likely wind up dead once more. Do you want that?"
"Daaaaaddy? Helloooo?" Carlie asked, waving a hand in front of her father's face. "Are we gonna go restrain Freeze and Croc or not?"

Sapphire took in a sharp breath of air as she felt and arm wrap around her, and something sharp press against her throat. Her heart stopped as fear washed over her. Then...just as quickly...she became extremely calm. Her entire body relaxed and her head turned back around to face the area in front of her.
"Is that so?" Sapphire replied in a bit of a deeper voice.
"Well...I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but I still need this vessel for a while. If you kill her, then I won't be able to use her any more. It would be very, very wise if you head towards the other end of the park and play with the others. If not, then I'll see just what techniques she has to kill you."
Rosie hugged the doll closer to her face, but couldn't turn her eyes away from the screen.
