Dundee smirked. "Y'all still able t' see the stars at night with all them big buildin's up there?" he asked. This was the first time in a long time he actually was in a city as big as Gotham before.

At the first sign of cracking glass, Tim dove down to the three foot wide ledge. Bullets wiped through his cape and skinned at his arms and side before he could fully pull away from the initial spray. He grunted as he crawled further from the stain glass as he looked up.
"I'm okay. What about you?"
The breaking glass was the only thing masking their voices, so Robin kept himself from hollering instinctively.

Hmmm... I guess these are the Bat's understudies then, the Professor rolled a small puck shaped object outside to the side of the ledge and immediately produced a bright flash. he used the distraction to reposition himself in another shadow.

Kori looked over to Dundee, "I always enjoyed looking at the stars. I like the beach. The surf and turf."

Dundee smiled. "Same here . . . got born on a houseboat, so water's kinda in m' blood." he said. Technically the flatboat was on the border between Mississippi and Louisiana. He got his birth certificate when his father (Arell's stepfather) got it when he made port in New Orleans.

Starfire smiled, "That sounds peaceful."
................
The Professor had noticed that one went toward the rafters. Calmly and quietly, the assassin pointed at the ceiling where he thought the girl was and opened fire in a focused burst.

Dundee smiled. "It was . . . beautiful down in Louisiana. We should go there one day." he said smiling. Now you sound like Arell! he thought casually.

Starfire arched an eyebrow, "I see you're thinking ahead with ambition."

Dundee was a little embarrassed. "Sorry . . . got a little ahead of myself." he said . . . slightly red. "How 'bout you? We really didn't get a chance t' talk too much on the clock." the Southerner said.

Starfire shrugged, "I've travelled a lot. I've actually been a professional model.... But recently, I almost lost everyone I knew, and now I am trying to put the pieces back together."
"Hey, we're here. Twenty-five fifty," the cabbie announced.
[Exit Starfire and Dundee to Home Sweet Home]
(Doing this for sanity's sake. I've got to sign off tonight. Go ahead and post both of us over at Home Sweet Home, Greasy. See you later, buddy.)

((Catch ya 'round, Skuld. I had to bail myself.))
Dundee nodded. "I knew you had t' be a model once . . . you look very photogenic. I just hope we can find th' folks ya know." the Southern boy said as he pulled out his wallet. "I'll take care of the cab." he said as he paid the tab and they headed out.
((Home sweet home, here we come!))

Before Red Cardinal could reply to Robin's response a burst of light came off of the ledge. She instinctively closed her eyes and covered them. When she opened them she realized where the bullets had come from.
She looked down at Robin and nodded in a way to signal that she was going in. She phased through the wall into the upper rafters and clock work inside the tower. She partially made herself as dark as the shadows to give herself more of an stealthy advantage. She held her left wrist compressing it all the while moving through the shadows up above the clock inside. Her wrist stung for a bit before her arm went numb from the pain.
"I can't get hit anymore. I need to find this guy quick before he seriously hurts someone."
Kai thought to herself quietly.

Robin covered his eyes from the flash as well, and it took some time before he could see anything. He could however look up to Red Cardinal and nod his understanding. They had to get in there and fight back... but this guy (or girl) was using bullets. God how he hated those. Tim used the black of his uniform to his advantage as he pulled himself up, carefully moving through the broken glass that littered the ledge. He stepped through the window pane and into the structure.

She watched Robin enter the room through the broken glass of the clock. Red Cardinal drew her attention to the area the man was according to the angle of the bullets. He wasn't there so he must be nearby. She concentrated on the darkeness while keeping an eye on where Robin was at the same time. Red Cardinal was prepared to fight anyone who stood out from the darkness that might attack her or Robin.
As the masterful ventrillaquist Kai was she yelled out into the distance trying to see if the man would reply back
"Who are you and what are you doing here? Show yourself..."
Her voice echoed in the clock tower a little bit making it seemingly harder for anyone to distinguish where her voice came from. She remembered agreeing with Tim that bullets were a pain. They were almost a way for those who cannot fight to win, a sort of cheat in Red Cardinals opinion. How she loathed the use of guns.

 The Professor realized that the girl on the roof is still alive. He also realized that the other one is in the room close. He knew better than to shoot an automatic weapon this close. The assassin silently put the submachine gun under his coat, and pulled out a blackened short blade out of his belt buckle. The Professor waited in the shadows ignoring the girl's taunts. She could play around in the rafters all she wants. The assassin waited for the other one, most likely Robin, get closer to him....
