First Strike @ 08:51 pm

[info]dc_kobra:

All across the country, members of the Cult of Kobra were striking.  Technology thefts had already been on the up, as well as weapons thefts from various government depots.  The serpents struck without mercy, taking what they needed, and fleeing just as quickly.  Both Barr brothers had been dead for years, but the organization had fallen into other hands.  It was speculated that the long term goal was the selection of a new Kobra...  but in the meantime, under the guidance of someone called the Serpent Supreme, their short term goals of terror, in preparation for the coming Kali Yuga, remained unchanged.

And soon... the world would know even greater terror that it had before.

The moment he determined he was well enough to attempt a short patrol without seriously hurting himself he took his chance to sneak out. Being stuck in that manor for so long was just too much. Besides, aside from making sure he didn't land badly on his left leg and didn't do too many back flips and swings through the skyline which (he found the hard way) was still too much for the wound just below his rib, he was doing pretty well. He'd even been good and stuck to using the motorbike for most of the patrol.
 
But as his luck would have it he ran across a group on their way to try and rob a bank. Of course, had these idiots been anything but the basest of amateurs it might have been interesting, but as it was he'd ended up ditching the bike to follow them and then camping out and watching from a nearby roof as they tried to get in. For over an hour. It should not have taken anywhere near that long to get past the whole thing let alone the first level of security. The feeling of freedom from confinement was the only thing that let him put up with it. He was sorely tempted to break in and get through the security for them. Just so he could have something to charge them with already. This was such a waste of his time.
 
When they finally got through (about time, he thinks), he decided to give them a few minutes head start before he broke in too. Through a different way. Just to make this interesting.
 
Finally he'd get to do some crimefighting. Although that these amateurs even considered themselves worthy of calling themselves thieves and attempting to break into this sort of bank (it was clear someone smarter had given them the appropriate instructions and equipment for this job) irked him.
 
They'd learn the hard way about amateurish stealing in Gotham.

So, they had agreed to go the charity ball.  Heather recognized a few people, she thought.  The mayor, for one.  Maybe a couple local celebrities.  And sadly, a fair amount of media coverage inside, though the team had managed to escape at least some of the attention.

She was carrying  a drink.  Not because she could drink it, but because it at least gave her something to do with her hands.  She was a little uncomfortable, she had to admit, with this much of an overt display of wealth and power.

But it was good for them and good for the city and, more importantly, good for the people they'd helped.  She just had to keep telling herself that.
