C.J. smiled a little but, aside from looking like hell, his personality hadn't changed.
"Yeah. I'll tell ya about it on the way." he wheezed. It was slowly coming to his attention that this was going to become a very, VERY interesting night.

"Alright. Let's get a cab then and get out of here." Misty replied, moving her bag of clothes from one hand to the other. She moved towards the road, giving CJ another look over just to make sure he was alright. Aside from the...nice little hole in the seat of his pants, he seemed alright.

Around that time, C.J. started to hail a cab, when an out of control Batmobile came flying up another street past where they were. He paused and looked, then shook his head. NAH, that can't be mine. Thought Sand dude and Typhoid would be in a ditch at this point. he thought as he got ready to flag down a cab.

Unfortunately, with part of Sandman already in the car when it had sped off, Mary had help stopping the car from crashing. And because sand could get into the smallest of cracks, Sandman had no problem unhooking, rewiring, or doing whatever he needed under the hood to make the car do what they needed.
The car came to a screeching U turn down the street, revved up again, then sped back towards the two.

"What"
The
"Awww HELL." C.J. cursed as a cab pulled up, just as the car turned around and went for them. Fortunately for THEM it was a certain Jamaican woman who seemed to help out in Arell and Dun's times of need.
"Hey, hop in! Where da big guy, mon?" Antigua asked with a smile as C.J. opened the door for Misty to get in. This was gonna be close, sport fans!
"Next time I leave a car at a bad guy's lair. It's gonna be a damn PINTO!"

Misty watched the bat mobile barrel back around towards them, took a quick glance at CJ, then hopped into the cab as quickly as she could.
Wonderful. So much for the nice change of pace.

"Well, on the bright side, at least we aren't hostages in IO, Rosie! That would SUCK!!"
Uh, C.J.? Need I remind you that your two best friends and whatever the hell Red Cardinal is to you are there?
"Hey, she and I are cool. But this is gonna take a little stragety."
C.J. piled into the cab after Misty and pointed to the Batmobile.
"Hey, Antigua. See that car comin' up behind us?" he asked.
"Yah mon. What happened?" Antigua responded, curious to what happened.
"I'll explain later. I just need you to lose that car . . . and get to Gotham Air Force Base and get Misty to the Batcave. Preferably in the neighborhood of now, please!!" C.J. growled.
The '57 Impala cab did a burnout as it left where they were and hit the highway, now a good distance away from the Ratmobile.
Wait, "Ratmobile?!"
"Two rats are behind the wheel."
As they drove, Antigua looked back at them. "Sooo, anyone want to fill me in as to what da hell's going on?" Antigua asked.

Misty was holding onto the seat and whatever else she could hold onto as they peeled down the streets. She hated fast speed car rides. Hated them. She just sat there quietly with her eyes closed and waited for them to slow down before they did anything.
// Library's closing. See you next time. : D //

((No worries, hon. See you next time!))
Fortunately, C.J. saw Misty in distress and despite the hot pursuit and everything gone to hell, put his hand on top of hers.
"It'll be alright, hon. I'll fix this." he said.

Misty opened her eyes and looked down at his hand, then looked up at him and gave him a small smile. Her smile quickly faded as something exploded next to the cab. They may have been a fair distance away from the batmobile, but it was still the batmobile. Another explosion from a rocket landed next to a building not far from them, sending rubble scattering across the street.

C.J. smiled back at Misty, but growled when the shots were getting closer to the car.
"Gee, why the hell are they so mad? All I did was rescue ya!" he said as he reached around in the back. He then realized what was going on.
"Wait, so dat ISN'T Batmon?!" Antigua asked, nervous as C.J. found a box of carpet tacks.
"I'm on relatively GOOD terms with Batsy. Or was, anywho. By the way, who left the carpet tacks?" he responded.
"My last customer before you two was an upholster." the Jamaican woman replied, thinking. "Musta left 'em on his way out . . . dey always in a rush to leave dis cab. Can't imagine why." she mused as they weaved in and out of traffic, up the wrong way on a one-way street, back out on the road and just BARELY avoided getting hit by a train.
C.J. looked over at Misty with a shy smile. "Well, sorry our date got interrupted." he said with a blush. Well, this is going to be interesting.

Misty was back to holding onto the seat as tightly as she could. She looked back at CJ and gave him a bit of a smile. "I usually don't get much peace for very long. We'll just have to talk a rain check." she replied.

C.J. smiled back. "Don't worry, hon. I'll just be glad if we get outta this alive." he said with a grin. Fortunately it looked like they lost them . . . of course, we also said that about Gotham PD, Snake Boy . . . pretty much EVERY SINGLE BUNCH of people we pissed off.
"So? At least we didn't say 'at least things can't get any worse.' We're pretty much in the world's biggest never-ending comic book. IT WILL GET WORSE if we say that."
Then DON'T, dude!

"As long as we can loose them, we should be fine for a while." she replied, taking a chance to glance out the back window. She didn't see anyone behind them, but that didn't mean that they couldn't have just taken a detour and bypassed all this traffic.

C.J. smiled as he looked behind them, and reclined, heaving a sigh of relief. "I think we lost 'em, babe." he said. Famous last words, cowboy. Famous last words.
"Who next? Boss Hogg himself?"
You mean Fisk, right?
"Yeah him! I saw a picture of the guy. He really looks like Boss Hogg to me. Only a bit more successful."
