Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joker suddenly stopped smiling. Something didn't compute. Nightwing getting TAZERED? Really? He was trained by the Bat-freak, which usually came with lots of perks, one of which was insane costumes that had lots of protective features. He supposed it WAS possible, but improbable. He didn't have much experience with any of the other Titans, so he couldn't say anything about Starfire, but now he was paying complete attention.

//CBJ -- A wizard cop, not Robin/Nightwing, got tazered. xp And I agree, that trick wouldn't work on him.//

Skuld sighed, "I should have been paying attention to my surroundings. That was when something clocked me upside my head. Though, I was a bit whoosy, I still barely managed to parry Robin's following attacks. The bad part was, I was losing ground and running out of rooftop fast.

"Out of the corner of my eye, I spied Cyborg and Beast Boy. Then, I began flying away, just over the rooftops and using anything on them as cover. I figured Cyborg couldn't follow, and that would be one less Titan. Robin harassed me the entire way, then I spied someone getting mugged on the street.

"So, I figure, I fly by that scene, and he would stop. He didn't. It wasn't until later that I found out that he used some sort of freeze bomb on the mugger and kept going after me.

"I felt the darkforce energy in it, and I tried to flee. The creature was reminiscent of something else that could drain souls. I didn't want to find out the hard way, so, I flew as fast as I could," Skuld recalled.

"When I glanced over my shoulder, I realized that I couldn't outrun it. I then turned around in the air, and cast a spell in desperation. As the spell sped toward the giant ghost bird, I actually heard a woman's voice saying, 'Okay. I have a glowing silver otter attacking me.'

"A split second later, my spell connected with the darkforce entity and I heard the woman's piercing shriek over the resultant explosion. It was as if I combined matter and anti-matter together. The shock wave propelled me away with small shards tearing at my skin and clothes. As I looked upwards toward the night sky, I saw the clouds pushed away in all directions as if God blew away a cloud of mist.

"Then, I stared at the center of the mid-air explosion and saw Raven, her costume in tatters, hover in the briefest of moments that seemed to last for an eternity. Then... I watched her plummet toward the city below, her limbs lifelessly swaying like the limbs of a rag doll."

Skuld looked across the table, "I think I was actually in shock for those few moments."

Goblin yawned. "Well, that certainly was an interesting story," he said brightly, with more than a little emphasis on the last word, "Who's next?"

Meanwhile, the bartender was practically shaking in his boots. "I'm sorry, Miss Isley, I didn't--"

"Miss Isley?"

"... W-what?"

"Did you actually just call me Miss Isley? The only people who can get away with that are Batman, the parole board, and a couple of judges. Tell me... George, right?" she added in a low purr, grabbing him by the tie and pulling him gently toward her,"Do you think you're Batman?"

"No! No! I really--"

"Good, George. That's good. I'm glad we've patched things up." The man's face slackened with relief... then went suddenly tense with surprise as Ivy yanked him toward her by his tie, and into a rather steamy looking kiss.

A second or two later, his eyes rolled back in his head, and Ivy calmly let go of the tie, allowing him to go crashing to the floor behind the bar. Without missing a beat, as though what she'd just done was nothing to get excited over (and really, it wasn't), she shot a rather surprised look at Skuld. "Is she still talking?"

Crystal blinked and looked around for a second, the crash of the dead bartender snapping her fully awake again. It had been a long night and she had started to doze off, having already heard most of the Titan's side of the story a long time ago. Although the mention of Shocker's fear of the dark sort of regained her attention. She had never heard of the interrogation, just knew that they had captured him.

Crystal then took another drink from her Kahlua and nodded slightly. "Raven tends to do that when she's pissed off... Doctor Light can contest to that one. Although I must wonder what it was he said to make her react in such a way. She does not do that often and in fact the last time she did that it was getting close to her birthday and Light pissed her off royally." Crystal went back to her drink before smiling a bit.

"So I surmise your story is finished with, my Dear?" Her voice still thick with her Cajun accent.

Gossamer glanced over at him and grinned. "I suppose there might be a chance..." she purred. "The night's still young."

Skuld was responding to Crystal's question when the Cajun undid her shirt and bra, "Hmmm... Is that your way of changing the subject or saying that you're 'open for business'?"

Skuld was giving Crystal mischievous smirk, while the mage telekinetically levitated a bottle of vodka from the bar into her hands.

Crystal smirked back at Skuld. "Well I do wear a bra that is 2 cup sizes too small so that they don't bounce when I run. But at the moment I can relax and get comphy." She snickered a bit. "Why do you ask my dear? I mean are you implying that you want a little action?"

Crystal changed her position and stretched a bit, her cleavage showing more.
