Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Enter Starfire and Raven from Gotham City]

Starfire didn't bother with a cab otherwise she'd be really late for work. Flying in the air, Kori held Raven in her arms, "I really appreciate you coming with me, but I do have to work Raven. We don't want to end up in a box of cardboard. Here we are."

Landing softly in an alleyway near the Lounge, Starfire gently set the dark Titan down, "I've got maybe five minutes."

Swiftly, both women duck into the nightclub, and Kori waved at the greeter, "Hi Charlie."

"You're late. It's going to take you too long to change....," the man froze as Star opened up the trenchcoat showing the outfit underneath.

Kori smiled, "I do not think so. Here."

The Tamarian server tossed her coat at Charlie and ran for the dressing room to touch up makeup and mascara.

The waitress gave the group a nod and left them to grab their orders. Something this simple wouldn’t take her long to return with.

Meanwhile, Penguin was busy finishing the details of a little weapons delivery over his private phone line. Calling in for chairs and other decorations of course…no need to risk tapped phone lines, even if his private line was supposed to be just that. Private.

One of the guards allowed himself into Oswald’s office and waited patiently for his boss to finish his call. When he was, the man gently handed him Lady Deathstrike’s personal card and relayed the information one of the waitresses had given. As well as inform him that Kori had just come into work.

Oswald blinked a little, mild surprise on his face. ”She came in to work?”

”Yes sir. Seen her rush in just as I got on the second level balcony.” the guard replied.

”Well. I’ll have to make sure I check in on her then. Perhaps before I see this miss…hrm.” This name…it sounded familiar. Like he’d read it somewhere and just filed it away. Either a wealthy commoner, or someone he obtained files on while building up his knowledge of whose-who in the other cities. Gotham was his specialty, but it paid to know about everyone if you could manage to do so. Keeps one prepared…and people pay a favorable amount of money for information.
What he was more interested in right now though, was his newest employee. He kept tabs on news channels and police radios in Gotham and other cities. And he’d at least heard some of what was relayed from the radios about Starfire. Not only did the description match Kori, but he’d dug up her heroine alias after her background check. He honestly didn’t expect her to return to work. At least not for a while anyway.
”Thank you. I will finish up here, then make my way downstairs. See to it that everything is in order until I can check up on my Lounge.” Oswald said, his eyes still on the small card in his hand.

The guard nodded and waked out the door.

Starfire perked up and went to get some herbal tea for Raven. Within a couple of minutes, Kori returned to Raven and set the steaming hot tea for the drak Titan, "Here you go, Raven. Is there anything else that I can get for you?"

Star shrugged when Raven didn't imediately answer as she seemed to be enjoying her tea, "I will check on you later, then."

Kori smiled warmly and bowed, giving practically giving Raven an eyefull of her bosum. Then the bronzed skinned Tamarian continued on her task of waiting on another table.

Yuriko spotted Penguin when he emerged from the back. She'd seen a file on him from the JLA database, but intentionally did nothing to tip her hand that she knows what he looks like. No need to give anything away. Calmly and patiently, Yuriko enjoyed her sake and her sushi rolls.

"Oh, hello Mr. Cobblepot!" Starfire cheerfully beamed at her employer holding a empty tray with a warm smile, "How are you, Sir?"

Kori had just completed another order and walked up to Penguin on his right side.

Penguin turned to Starfire and smiled a bit. He opened his mouth to respond, but closed it abruptly and spun his attention towards the newest guest to his Lounge. And scowled at the rather unwelcomed enterance he made.
