"Are you thinking I know about IO... I only know about the Summers, and it's on an unwanted personal level at which I'm not willing to discuss. Just, Jack Summers is more of the brutal hand to hand, or, more like, hand to weapon combat fighter, while the woman, Rose Summers, she is more of a strategist, and long range fighter. As far as IO I have a feeling like taking them down would be as hard as taking down Cadmus."
Kai said taking a load off with a heavy sigh breathing in.

Abby, now that everything had turned serious again, wandered off from Aiden and the others. She was suddenly hit with a wave of fatigue after this very eventful morning; she didn't even count the discovery of her divinely-imbued good luck powers in it, just her appearance in Gotham before dawn, encountering Two-Face and his thugs (though she didn't know who he was when that had happened), and running almost nonstop to Gotham's outskirts and finding Wayne Manor. By the time that had happened, the sun had come up... and then the rest of the day had seemed to go by so quickly. Preparing for the trip to Dorian's island and dealing with the situation there, then coming back and finding her brother who she hadn't seen in weeks, then the chaos of Mr. Mxyzptlk and those 'writers'...
She began to wonder why she hadn't gone nuts. She was seriously crushing on a fictional character... But he had felt real. The feel of her lips on his cheek had felt real. Maybe her brother was right; maybe this whole world was mad. And like he always said: "Go with the flow-- and if that don't work, hit the bottle."
Abby sighed, finding a quiet room to sit in. As she looked around, she noticed a violin on a stand, with sheet music accompanying it. When she looked to the sheet, she noticed it was on a song she really liked: "Chi Mai" by Ennio Morricone. Abby smiled a bit to herself, sat on the stool in front of the stand, gently picked the violin and its bow up, and proceeded to play-- then she realized the fiddle was out of tune, and so she fixed it quickly before restarting the song.
There were two things in life that Abby was naturally good at: Singing, and playing the violin. This was no exception, as the gentle, soul-tugging chords of "Chi Mai" were filtered through Wayne Manor. She could almost see herself in a concert, or in an orchestra, playing alongside other people... and she gladly decided to just lose herself in the music she was playing, letting her mind bring the sounds of other instruments to life within herself.

Artemis stared at Arell. "I tried to look at the dumbass. But the stint of it is, is he wasn't where I thought he was."
His attention on Arell was broken by Dun's question. Artie then looked at the man like he was stupid, those bright blue eyes gleaming in the florescent lighting. His cat ears twitched atop his head as he looked Dundee right in the eyes. "I don't remember which time is from this time stream.... Ask Dumbass when it was... If it was..."
He sighed and looked around, cursing under his breath. "I have a feeling Crystal's going to do something else stupid."

C.J. smiled back. Time traveling loser to attempting to be a hero. Good job, writer. he thought. He used his free hand to fumble for his keys. "Well, I think I may be able to get us there." he said, looking at the stairs. "Better hold on." he said, giving her a quick lift as he got down the stairs.
Arell saw C.J. with Misty and walked over. "Wha' happened, che'? She okay?" he asked.
"Gotta borrow the truck. Oh, by the way, who's on the violin?" C.J. asked.
"Nut-crusher Abby. Sorry, che' . . . I doan' think Maude's gonna work. Howevah . . . I think dere's a bettah ride downstairs." Arell said, doing a quick ammo check. "If Crystal's gon' do somethin' stupid, I'mma go make sho' things don't get too outta hand." he said with a smirk.
Dundee looked over at Artemis. "Well, there's a cat that looks oddly enough a little bit like you. I know, freaky, right?" he asked.

Aiden walked over to Artie, Arell, and Dundee, smiling.
"I tell ya, me sister can play for the friggin' Taliban and she'd get 'em to calm down..." he said, his voice filled with pride, but then he got serious.
"Crystal's in trouble, fella?" he asked Arell. "Well then we should go an' back her up, right?" Then he looked to C.J. and Misty as they descended the stairs.
"Oi, who's the girl, Ceej?" he asked, frowning at Misty.

Arell smirked. "Now dat I'd pay to see, che'. Now c'mon. We prob'ly have a few asses t' kick." he said. But stopped when Arell spotted Misty. The computer in his eye must have gone completely haywire. Why was it popping up as Sapphire Spider? She wasn't a spider! The hell?! he thought.
C.J. looked at Aiden and Arell. "Guys, this is Misty. I found her in a bit of pain when I went upstairs. I just need to go get her to a doctor really fast . . . like pronto." he said. Hey, girlfriend-in-side-forum needs help. May as well do SOMETHING. he thought.

Artemis sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I'm Artemis you dingbat. I used ritual magic to change myself into a human."
He then turned on Arell. "I said I have a feeling she's going to do something stupid. I never said she's in danger so let's not jump the gun here or we'll end up with another 'doctor' visit."
"And it is a pleasure to meet you, my dear Sapph- uh... Misty." Artemis smiled at Misty with his catty little grin. He couldn't quite remember which world he'd met her in, not to mention if it had just been once.

By this time, Abby had ceased playing the violin and walked toward the group, and she caught the tail-end of the conversation.
"Ritual magic?" she asked Artemis, all wide-eyed. "... Ya know, I think I like ya more as a cat... Yer cuter that way." Then she turned to her brother.
"I agree. We shouldn't just go runnin' off unless we know that Crystal an' Tim are in trouble." she said.
Aiden frowned a moment as he regarded his youngest sibling, and then slowly nodded.
"I s'pose yer right Abby, but this girl here-- Misty?-- is gonna be needin' some medical attention I think, so we're probably gonna be heading out anyway. You said ya got attacked by thugs when ya first arrived this mornin', so I figure this place ain't a safe city. I s'pose Ceej and Misty will need backup. An' we can check on Tim an' Crystal while we're out."

((Enter Crystal from Gotham))
Crystal revved her engine as she pulled up to the manor, loud enough for the people inside to hear it. She then looked at Tim, taking off her helmet.
They had made it to the door at the same time. "Well looks like no one's buying today." She laughed and glanced at d**k before turning off her bike, setting the kickstand and walking in the front door.

"Well, that's good to hear! But I swear, I could do with some ice cream right about now," d**k said as he got off the bike and moved into the Manor with Tim and Crystal.
Abby and Aiden were the first to greet the trio as they walked in. They waved to Crystal, and Abby waved at d**k, before looking to Tim as he entered and then beaming. This caught d**k's attention, who, remembering some of the looks Abby had given Tim earlier in the morning when they had first met, grinned a bit as he introduced himself to Aiden and shook the Irishman's hand.

(...so ya, ENTER Tim and d**k from Gotham City)
Tim waved to the two, giving Abby a smile back.
"We've got work to do... but it's nice to stop in. Jeez, we're not getting a break today....and I have to call Oracle now..."
He was mostly announcing this to Nightwing since he knew who Tim was referring to and he had already informed Crystal of his idea to talk with Oracle, but in another way it was his thanks in the welcome the three had received.
Robin finally pulled the mask from his eyes and wiped his forehead with his jacket sleeve before he pulled out his communicator to link with Babs.

Arell smirked, looking at the two. "Dude, ya gotta try de Batmobile. Now get goin'!" he said, giving C.J. the figurative kick in the butt. C.J. nodded and looked over at Misty. "Ready when you are, hon. We'd better get a move-on." he said, helping her towards the Batcave.
((Exit Sapph and C.J. towards the Batcave.))
Arell smiled and put his arm around Crystal. "How'd it go, che'?" he asked with a smile, drinking the rest of his coffee.
Meanwhile, Dundee walked over to Aiden and Abby, also introducing himself to d**k.

Abby was noticeably cheerful, seeing as how her crush had not only noticed she was smiling at him, but had actually smiled back! Score! she thought.
Nightwing introduced himself to Dundee, then looked to C.J. "Wait, the Batmobile? I dunno..." he said, wary of two people he didn't know yet getting into the car. "I can drive you if need be."
Then he noticed Jinx storming up to the second floor of the Manor to get a shower in, and d**k wasn't sure whether to laugh to himself or not. He had managed to get the sewer smell off of him prior to seeing Tim and Crystal by slipping into a YMCA and using one of their showers.

C.J. smiled at d**k. "No worries, bud. I'll bring it back in a better condition than it is now . . . or you have full permission to kick my a**." he said with a smirk. "OH! I'm C.J. by the way, the lovely lass who needs a lift is Misty, and the Cajun Ted-Nugent over there is Arell." he said, sticking out his hand.
Arell smirked and gave a quick two-fingered salute to Nightwing. "Glad t' know ya, che'." he said with a smirk.

d**k still seemed a bit uncomfortable, but he shook C.J.'s hand anyway.
"God, Batman would probably kill me if he knew this was happening..." he said to himself, raising a hand in greeting to Arell.
